Title: Interpretation of "Used in Routine Agricultural Operations" Under EPCRA | |
Abstract:
EPA is considering a rulemaking on the interpretation of used in routine agricultural operations” as it pertains to reporting requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). EPCRA section 304 requires all facilities at which a hazardous chemical is produced, used or stored” to report releases of reportable quantities of any EPCRA Extremely Hazardous Substance and of any hazardous substance listed under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). EPCRA reporting is triggered when a facility produces, uses, or stores a hazardous chemical above a reporting quantity threshold. The term hazardous chemical,” as defined in EPCRA sections 329(5) and 311(e), does not include any substance to the extent it is used in routine agricultural operations.” |
