| Abstract | The goal of the module is to explain the notification requirements triggered by releases of CERCLA hazardous substances and EPCRA-designated extremely hazardous substances (EHSs). The module: provides the statutory basis and purpose for reporting CERCLA hazardous substance and EHS releases; cites the definitions of 'release,' 'hazardous substances,' 'extremely hazardous substance,' and 'facility,' and lists the exclusions appropriate to each definition; determines whether an RQ has been exceeded for multiple releases, mixtures, and RCRA hazardous wastes; provides the Federal Register citation and explains the methodology for adjusting RQs; and cites the reduced reporting requirements for continuous releases and explains, the differences between continuous release reporting under CERCLA and EPCRA. |
