Title: Clean Water Act Hazardous Substances Spill Prevention | |
Abstract:
As a result of a consent decree, the EPA is embarking on a rulemaking for the prevention of hazardous substance discharges under section 311(j)(1)(C) of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Section 311(j)(1)(C) reads, in part: "...as soon as practicable after October 18, 1972, and from time to time thereafter, the President shall issue regulations ... establishing procedures, methods, and equipment and other requirements for equipment to prevent discharges of ... hazardous substances from ... onshore facilities ... and to contain such discharges ..." The CWA hazardous substances and their associated reportable quantities (RQs) are identified in 40 CFR parts 116 and 117, respectively. The EPA will assess the consequences of hazardous substance discharges into the Nation's waters, and evaluate the costs and benefits of potential preventive regulatory requirements for facilities handling such substances. |
