The Port of Charleston, South Carolina’s Industry Committee for Liquid Spillage Control, also known as the LSCC, is a non-profit collaborative organization comprised of industry partners, contractors, state, and federal agencies who specialize in operations that share a common concern for our environment.
WHO WE ARE
waterfront operations and water transfers
The LSCC is comprised of companies who are governed by agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), United States Coast Guard (USCG), and other state and local governments. The committee’s members are dedicated to being an environmental steward by minimizing their potential for environmental incidents. Members range from those along the waterfront to ones that are more inland. To enhance their collective capabilities and efficiency, these diverse companies have joined forces, pooling their expertise and resources to conduct group spill response exercises as a committee, alongside their contracted Oil Spill Response Organization (OSRO), State and Federal organizations, and other local partners.

Why We Exist
The Liquid Spillage Control Committee, or LSCC exists to proactively address and mitigate the potential environmental impacts of its member companies’ operations. Through year-round training sessions and collaboration with community partners, such as the Coast Guard, EPA, DHEC, Charleston and North Charleston Fire Departments, to name a few, the organization ensures that all its members are well-prepared to respond effectively to spills. One of the key highlights of their efforts is the annual large-scale response exercise, which brings together all members and these critical agencies in a real-world scenario.
Furthermore, throughout the year, the LSCC serves as a platform for members to meet, exchange ideas, share best practices, and evaluate inspection results. This constant evaluation process and commitment to incident management training exemplifies the organization’s dedication to environmental protection and community safety.
