Title: Clean Water Act Hazardous Substance Facility Response Plans | |
Abstract: The Clean Water Act (CWA) states that regulations shall be issued "which require an owner or operator of a tank vessel or facility ... 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." The Environmental Protection Agency proposed a regulatory action to require 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 and that a final action follow within 30 months of the publication of the proposed rule. EPA plans to promulgate a final rule by Spring 2024 meet the terms of the Consent Decree. | |
