Title: ●Clean Water Act Hazardous Substance Worst Case Discharge Planning Regulations | |
Abstract: The CWA (33 U.S.C. 1321(j)(5)), as amended by section 4202(a)(5) of OPA 90 (Pub. L.101-380), states that regulations shall be issued "which require an owner or operator of a tank vessel or facility described in subparagraph (C) to prepare and submit ... a plan for responding, to the maximum extent practicable, to a worst case discharge, and to a substantial threat of such a discharge, of ... a hazardous substance." EPA is developing a regulatory action for planning for worst case discharges of CWA hazardous substances under section 311(j)(5)(A). This regulatory action is being conducted under the terms of a consent decree entered into on March 12, 2020, which requires that a proposed action is signed within 24 months of the final agreement. The consent decree also requires that a final action follow within 30 months of the publication of the proposed rule. | |
