Since 2005, Downeast Energy of Brunswick, Maine has been working closely with St.Germain Collins engineering and environmental business services at fourteen bulk oil storage facilities in Maine and New Hampshire.
Spill Prevention and Control
St.Germain Collins has prepared and updated Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasure (SPCC) plans and a Facility Response Plan (FRP) for Downeast’s bulk storage facilities.
