CERCLA {section}103 and EPCRA {section}304 Release Notification Requirements Update


Book Description

This guidance document updates and clarifies information provided in an earlier guidance document published by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) entitled Guidance for Federal Facilities on Release Notification Requirements under CERCLA and SARA Title III (EPA 9360.7-06; November 1990). Since publication of that earlier guidance document, several significant events have occurred that affect the reporting obligations of facilities owned or operated by the Department of Energy (DOE), including the publication of Executive Order 12856--Federal Compliance with Right-to-Know Laws and Pollution Prevention Requirements--and a rejection by the US Court of Appeals of EPA's interpretation of the term release into the environment. In preparing this guidance document, the Office of Environmental Policy and Assistance, RCRA/CERCLA Division (EH-413), has documented responses to queries from DOE field elements on CERCLA and EPCRA release reporting requirements, as well as incorporating those Questions and Answers from the previous document that remain germane to DOE's reporting obligations under CERCLA and EPCRA.

You'll also find numerous sample documents, a sample Form R--the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Form, and a sample EPCRA audit checklist. The author also discusses covered substances and facilities, emergency release notification, Tier I and Tier II Chemical Inventory Forms, EPCRA Section 313 reporting requirements, EPCRA trade secrecy, and civil actions and penalties. EPCRA CFRs Made Easy contains a list of 357 extremely hazardous substances, an index by subject area, and directories of EPA regional offices and of State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) and Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) offices and websites.
