U.S. EPA's Office of Compliance prepared this document to aid regulated entities in developing programs at individual facilities to evaluate their compliance with environmental requirements arising under federal law. The statements in this document are intended solely as guidance to you in this effort. Among other things, the information provided in this document describes existing requirements for regulated entities under the Emergency Planning and Community Right -to-Know Act (EPCRA) and under CERCLA Section 103 and their implementing regulations at 40 CFR 355 through 372 under EPCRA and 40 CFR 302 under CERCLA. While the Agency has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the statements in this document, the regulated entity's legal obligations are determined by the terms of its applicable environmental facility-specific permits, and underlying statutes and applicable state and local law. Nothing in this document alters any statutory, regulatory or permit requirement. In the event of a conflict between statements in this document and either the permit or the regulations, the document would not be controlling. U.S. EPA may decide to revise this document without notice to reflect changes in EPA's regulations or to clarify and update the text. To determine whether U.S. EPA has revised this document and/or to obtain additional copies, contact U.S. EPA's National Center for Environmental Publications at (1-800-490-9198).
