UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460
Dear Colleague, March 16, 1995
Wise men and women have always known that an "ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure", and this is nowhere more
true than in some environmental issues, including those at
federal facilities. Environmental audits provide a "snapshot" of
ongoing facility conditions and practices to prevent
environmental impairment, deter regulatory violations and to
manage environmental risks.
Executive Order 12088 charges EPA to provide environmental
technical assistance to other federal agencies. To help
encourage more auditing at federal facilities, EPA has developed
this document to offer a comprehensive and proactive approach to
environmental auditing. This document is an update and revision
of an earlier guidance document, " Generic Protocol for
Environmental Audits at Federal Facilities", prepared in 1989 by
EPA's Office of Federal Activities.
This updated document was prepared as a collaborative effort
by member agencies of the Federal Environmental Audit Protocol
Workgroup. Representatives from EPA, the Department of Energy,
Department of Defense, Postal Service, the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, the Department of Interior, and the
Department of Agriculture worked together to share their
experiences and knowledge in auditing practices and environmental
management to produce this document. It represents an
outstanding example of interagency cooperation and, in essence,
is a document written by federal environmental professionals for
federal environmental professionals. A list of those agencies
and individuals who contributed to this document can be found in
the acknowledgement section. They have earned our sincere
gratitude.
This document contains three separate auditing sections or
"phases" intended to provide both a micro and macro view of
environmental management and help identify root causes to audit
findings. Phase I provides for a review of facility conditions
in regard to specific media areas (e.g., air, water, and solid
and hazardous waste) with a focus on compliance with Federal
environmental requirements. Phase II of the protocol examines
cross-cutting issues and approaches such as pollution prevention

and eight different organizational disciplines that help foster
success in the technical management areas outlined in Phase I.
Phase III examines the facility's management of all environmental
programs to help establish compliance as the "starting point"
rather than the "goal" of environmental performance.
Several factors will help ensure the success of an
environmental auditing program. These factors include support
from senior agency officials, adequate resources to hire and
train technically qualified personnel, and prompt corrective
measures for audit findings. In addition, for audit programs to
be effective they must be objective and employ quality assurance
procedures to ensure the accuracy and thoroughness of the audits.
To assist agencies in designing and improving agency audit
programs, EPA is preparing an updated and revised companion guide
to this document called "Environmental Auditing Guidelines for
Federal Agencies".
Environmental audits are investments in the future that, if
used properly, can repay federal agencies many times over. We
hope you find this protocol useful, and would like to hear of
your experiences with it.

NOTICE
This document has been developed to assist in the conduct of environmental audits and
environmental management assessments. The use of this document should be restricted to
environmental audits only. Areas such as safety, transportation, occupational health and fire
(to name a few) are mentioned solely for clarification purposes. It is a comprehensive look at
environmental regulations only and is not intended to ensure compliance with all regulations.
•
This document is not designed to provide environmental auditors with detailed information on
the administrative and management processes of auditing during the planning, on-site conduct
of audit, and post-audit periods. Rather, it is designed to primarily focus auditors on specific
technical issues to determine 1) compliance with environmental requirements (both regulatory
and otherwise), and 2) adherence to good management practices to assure sound
environmental operations. To the extent practicable, management systems should be
evaluated to prevent recurrence of individual environmental issues.
A companion document, "Environmental Audit Program Design Guidelines for Federal
Agencies," is being revised by USEPA to focus on the development of strong environmental
auditing programs and should be consulted in addition to using this document.
The US Environmental Protection Agency does not make any guarantee or assume any
liability with respect to the use of any information or recommendations contained in this
document. Federal facilities requiring additional auditing information or advice should
consult a qualified professional.
In addition, the information and recommendations set forth herein are intended as guidance to
Government employees. It does not constitute rulemaking by the EPA, and may not be relied
on to create a substantive or procedural right or benefit enforceable, at law or in equity, by
any person. The Government may take action at variance with this guidance and its internal
procedures.

EPA's Environmental Auditing Policy Statement
On July 9, 1986, EPA issued a formal Environmental Auditing Policy Statement in the
Federal Register which encouraged all regulated entities - private, municipal and Federal - to
adopt environmental auditing programs. The policy statement stresses that although Federal
law does not require regulated entities to implement an auditing program, the ultimate
responsibility for environmental performance of the entity lies with top management. This
gives managers a strong incentive to use means such as auditing to secure reliable information
on the environmental compliance of facilities which they own or operate.
In the policy statement EPA defines environmental auditing as "...a systematic, documented,
periodic and objective review by regulated entities of facility operations and practices related
to meeting environmental requirements." Such a review can lead to higher levels of
environmental compliance and reduced risk to human health and the environment. The EPA
policy specifically endorses environmental auditing at Federal facilities and recommends
auditing programs which promptly identify problems and implement corrective actions. In
addition, EPA promises to provide technical assistance to Federal agencies concerning the
design and initiation of such a program to the extent feasible.

Introduction
A. Purpose
The purpose of this protocol manual is to provide the Federal environmental auditing community
with a set of protocols which can be used as a basis to implement, upgrade or benchmark
environmental auditing activities. It can be regarded as a management tool for measuring the
environmental performance and provide management the opportunity of identifying not only the
degree of its problems, but the nature of its problems and therefore may serve to facilitate the
rethinking process for optimization of organizational environmental performance. The protocols,
contained in this manual, can be used by auditors to assist them in the preparation for and
conduct of environmental compliance audits and assessments of the environmental management
systems developed to support compliance activities. In addition, this document can be used to
assist Federal agencies and facilities in benchmarking their approach to environmental
management.
Many organizations have benefitted from the utilization of protocols in environmental audits and
structural programs. For example, these programs have helped organizations:
• Pinpoint areas for immediate correction
• Determine how successfully a facility is managing its environmental responsibilities
• Compare between facilities
• Make a "snapshot" of the operation and effectiveness of environmental management systems
• Decide whether or not environmental performance is improving year to year
Environmental auditing has enabled many federal agencies to assess their environmental
performance, correct deficiencies, and reduce their overall risk - especially the risk of
noncompliance with key government regulations.
Despite enormous progress developing and implementing audit programs, many federal agency
environmental .management personnel are not yet comfortable with their answers to questions
such as these:
• Do reaudits find the same, or similar, problems?
• Do similar problems show up again at the same facility? Do different facilities share
common problems?
• Are a facility's corrective actions fixing only the symptoms, or are they also getting at the
root causes behind recurring problems?
• Is senior management satisfied with its overall environmental record?
Recently when organizations began assessing their own audit programs and evaluating overall
environmental performance, they began to sense some discomfort regarding these questions. A
disconnection between the environmental audit program and continuing improvements in
Overall Introduction
-------
environmental management systems was apparent. Organizations that find their audit programs
most valuable understand the key relationship between environmental audits and a successful
corrective action process in improving environmental performance (Figure 1). In other words,
an environmental audit program is only as good as the organizations^ success in identifying the
root cause of each audit finding and then taking the "right" corrective action.

To help identify root causes to audit findings, and select the most appropriate corrective actions,
this guide is divided into three sections: (1) Auditing for Compliance, (2) Auditing for
Management Effectiveness of Specific Environmental Programs, and (3) Auditing for
Management Effectiveness of All Environmental Programs at a Facility/Site. Phases 2 and 3 of
the manual focus on the environmental management systems needed to attain environmental
assurance. Current programs may be benchmarked against these leading standards to identify
opportunities for improving current approaches to environmental management.
B. Scope
This protocol manual is set up to support a wide range of environmental auditing programs -
from recently developed to mature audit programs. The sets of protocols have been created to
support the stage of environmental auditing which best represents the status of the Federal agency
and/or facility under review. The protocols are designed to meet all the environmental review
needs of the various facilities, therefore, some protocol areas may not be applicable in all facility
circumstances and should be disregarded in such instances.
Phase 1 of the manual may be used to conduct a baseline compliance audit and can be used as
a starting point for agencies that have just begun new programs. Phases 2 and 3 of this manual
are for Federal agencies that have already developed a basic compliance program and desire to
Overall Introduction
-------
ssess the management effectiveness of individual environmental programs or entire facilities or
gencies. Phase 1 "Auditing for Compliance" addresses the evaluation of compliance with
environmental laws and regulations, and their corresponding environmental practices. Phase 1
consists of 16 sections:
Section 1 Air Pollution Control
Section 2 Water Pollution Control
Section 3 Nonhazardous Waste Management
Section 4 Hazardous Waste Management
Section 5 CERCLA/SARA
Section 6 Spill Control and Response
Section 7 Management of Environmental Impacts (i.e., NEPA and NEPA components such
as FONSI, EAs, EISs, etc.)
Section 8 Hazardous Materials Management
Section 9 Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know
Section 10 Cultural and Historic Resources Management
Section 11 Storage Tank Management
Section 12 Drinking Water Management
Section 13 PCB Management
Section 14 Pesticides Management
Section 15 Groundwater Protection
Section 16 Environmental Radiation
s Phase 1 of the protocol covers Management Practices (MP), it must be understood that some
Management Practices are non-environmental regulatory requirements/non-federal regulatory
requirements or deal with programmatic aspects of environmental operations; whereas,
programmatic practices in Phase 2 address a comprehensive approach to the assessment of
specific environmental programs which include MP. Phase 1 does not take a comprehensive
approach to consideration of MPs.
Phase 2 "Auditing for Management Effectiveness of Specific Environmental Programs" targets
the same 16 environmental areas, but with the emphasis on evaluating the strengths and
weaknesses of the environmental management systems established for assuring long-term
compliance of these sixteen environmental program areas.
Phase 2 is designed for environmental auditors in specific technical disciplines to concentrate
solely upon the management systems supporting a specific environmental program such as the
hazardous waste management or air pollution control program. Each Phase 2 section concentrates
on a "programmatic evaluation" in which the auditor assesses the effectiveness of the
management systems supporting the individual environmental program. As such, a single auditor
could design an evaluation which takes either a representative or a comprehensive look at the
management systems.
Overall Introduction
-------
Each Phase 2 section can also be used in conjunction with the appropriate Phase 1 section to
conduct a joint compliance and programmatic evaluation. Where appropriate, elements within
each Phase 2 section contain specific examples to help guide the auditor in an evaluation of the
specific environmental program.
Each of the sections in Phase 2 includes seven management systems plus an assessment of the
Pollution Prevention initiatives for the applicable environmental discipline. The eight elements
for Phase 2 include:
1. Organizational Structure
2. Environmental Commitment
3. Formality of Environmental Programs
4. Internal and External Communication Program
5. Staff, Resources, Training and Development
6. Program Evaluation, Reporting, and Corrective Action
7. Environmental Planning and Risk Management
8. Pollution Prevention
For the purposes of this manual, these eight elements constitute one approach which can be used
to establish an effective management system. However, variations may also serve to satisfy the
needs of the individual federal organization.
Phase 3 is different from Phase 2 in that Phase 3 is designed for a team of auditors to take a
comprehensive look at individual components of environmental management systems which apply
to all environmental programs at a facility. The elements or disciplines within Phase 3 are
essentially the same as that of Phase 2, except that Phase 3 contains an element called
"Environmental Protection Program" (EPP) and does not contain the Phase 2 element "pollution
prevention". Within the EPP element, an auditor(s) with an understanding of both the regulatory
requirements and management systems performs a detailed evaluation of a representative number
of environmental programs as opposed to the other auditors taking a detailed look at the
management system component across the facility. The EPP evaluation includes interviews and
document reviews in addition to a limited amount of inspection.
Phase 3 "Auditing for Management Effectiveness of All Environmental Programs at a Facility/
Site" evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the management systems that have been
developed to provide overall assurance that facility/agency-wide environmental management
issues have been properly addressed with the right mix of resources, organization, policies and
procedures etc. Phase 3 reviews are designed to assure high-quality sustained management of
environmental operations throughout entire facilities/agencies rather than focusing on any specific
environmental programs (e.g., air quality, waste management, etc.).
Overall Introduction
-------
?hase 3 includes protocol disciplines which concentrate on the same fundamental management
/stems as introduced in Phase 2, with one additional discipline: Environmental Protection
Programs. Additionally, pollution prevention is rolled into the Environmental Protection
Programs discipline, whereas in Phase 2 it is a standalone element. The Environmental
Protection Programs discipline is used to evaluate the specific implementation of a representative
number of environmental programs and their corresponding management system provides specific
evidence supporting the degree of effectiveness of the larger environmental management systems.
Many Federal facilities have tenant organizations, usually other Federal agencies, but also state
and local agencies and private parties. Even though these tenant organizations may be
responsible for environmental compliance of their activity, the facility owner may be ultimately
held accountable by regulators should compliance problems persist or should future liabilities be
discovered. These protocols can be used to address environmental compliance and management
issues associated with tenant organizations. The agreements between the facility owner and the
tenant organizations need to clearly establish environmental responsibilities of both the facility
owner and tenant organization and the mechanisms that the facility owner will utilize to monitor
compliance, including application of these protocols to the tenant organizations.
C. Approach
The Protocol Manual can be regarded as a tool box for conducting environmental auditing
activities of Federal organizations. The reviews may look at a single environmental program
Compliance at a facility (Phase 1) or take a much more macro look at the design and
iplementation of environmental management programs across the agency (Phase 3).
Additionally, based on the specific audit objectives and scope of a review, the audit team can
pick and choose its tools from Phases 1, 2, or 3 or use a combination of the tools to meet its
objective.
Stages of Environmental Auditing
Environmental audit programs can be thought of as having three phases of evolution as depicted
in Figure 2 (below). Figure 2 "Phases of Environmental Auditing" illustrates how the three parts
of auditing have been addressed in this protocol manual.
As agency environmental audit programs and overall environmental management systems mature,
the focus of the audit program tends to shift. When an organization first establishes its
environmental auditing program, it begins by identifying problems to be corrected (Exhibit 2).
As the audit program evolves, the emphasis moves from identifying problems to determining
compliance status, and then on to assessing the effectiveness of the environmental management
control systems. Thus, as an agency's environmental performance improves, the emphasis should
shift from identifying problems to confirming the absence of problems - a much more difficult
task. The most significant benefits from a well-established audit program are successful
environmental performance and a feeling of increased comfort and security that environmental
risks are being managed.

A similar evolution should occur in how Federal agencies act on the results of their audits. In
the early stages of audit programs, immediate attention is given to fixing the problems identified.
In some cases, agencies develop sophisticated tracking tools to ensure that such corrective actions
do, in fact, occur. A more comprehensive approach, not yet taken by many agencies, is to
analyze the problems identified during the audit for cause and effect and develop and implement
appropriate corrective actions for those underlying causes. Those agencies that simply stick to
fixing the problem may not achieve the performance desired and may even begin to consider
their audit programs to be ineffective.
When performance improvements are not quickly forthcoming after implementation of an audit
program, some agencies blame the program itself for being ineffective. It may be, however, that
blame should be directed at the corrective action process. Unfortunately, many agencies have
little experiences in analyzing the corrective action process or the effectiveness of the corrective
actions implemented, despite their relative sophistication in gauging the audit program's ability
to find the problems.
In order to successfully correct problems, keep the problems corrected, and head off finding the
same problems in other facilities, the corrective action process needs to be expanded (Figure 3).
In this expanded model for corrective action, audit findings are evaluated for underlying causes,
and corrective actions are to develop management solutions to such root causes. Frequently,
when findings are grouped for commonality, it is possible to identify common root causes. When
the focus of corrective actions is on correcting common root causes, the effectiveness of the audit
is increased tremendously.
The expanded corrective action process can be applied at any level - facility, field division or
bureau, or overall agency. Rarely does the root cause for serious facility problems stop at the
facility gate; it usually extends upwards into the division or agency parent.

There are many different ways to enhance the corrective action planning process. One method
used successfully is to group findings into categories built on the following phases in a simple
model for risk management:
• Identify hazards and evaluate risks
• Develop control programs
• Implement control programs
• Maintain and oversee programs
By placing problems identified during an audit or audit program into such risk categories, it may
be possible to see patterns in the findings, which can then help direct corrective actions. The
results of such groupings can help to answer the following questions:
• Are facilities personnel aware of requirements?
• Are control programs missing important elements? If so, why?
• What prevents full implementation of control programs, even when the program itself seems
sound?
• Do plants have internal measurement processes to continually gauge the effectiveness of their
programs?
In fact, grouping findings into the four categories described above can provide one of the
simplest methods for evaluating overall agency performance, for making comparisons between
facilities, and for measuring facility improvement. Auditing program managers are always
looking for ways to use audit results more broadly. It is not uncommon for senior management
to fall into the trap of making year-to-year and facility-to-facility comparisons by counting the
number of findings in an audit Counting findings does not do it, however, because no two
findings typically carry the same risk. On the other hand, if most findings at a facility arc
weighted toward Phase 1 (identify and evaluate), it may say a lot about the facility's overall
environmental risk management systems (no programs).
Overall Introduction
-------
Phase 1 of environmental auditing will determine the areas in which compliance with
environmental standards has not been achieved. These environmental standards can be either
external to an organization (40 CFR) or ones which have been established internally (e.g., DoD
Directives, DOE Orders, etc.). The protocols in Phase 1 can assist an organization in making a
determination as to the compliance status of the entity under review, whether it be a facility or
organization within the agency. Phase 1 uses the federal environmental standards enacted by
Congress and promulgated by the USEPA to establish the baseline of acceptable practice.
Typically environmental auditing programs focusing on Phase 1 activities are more reactive to
the environmental management and emphasis is on determining the compliance with applicable
regulations and standards so that actions can be taken to address individual deficiencies identified
(Figure 2, above).
Phase 2 audit programs are designed to identify problems related to the management of
environmental aspects of the organization, but do not stop there. In Phase 2 there is an added
emphasis on confirming where the environmental programs are compliant and documenting why
they are compliant (how the management system works). The reviewer is concentrating on why
the program is compliant, and what makes it work. By documenting why the program functions
well, and sharing this with other facilities, a major benefit can be realized. This is the beginning
of understanding and assessing the management systems that support the environmental program.
Compliant programs typically have management systems in-place and functioning to ensure long-
term compliance. By looking at the management systems in-place (e.g., organizational structure,
environmental planning, policies and procedures), a judgment can be made as to whether the
program is sound and can stay compliant. To do this, the reviewer needs to decide on the who,
what, when, where, how and why of the program under review (Figure 4, on the following page).
Take as an example the training of personnel to address the standards found in the hazardous
waste management regulations (RCRA). We know that training must be given annually and
within the first six months of taking on hazardous waste responsibilities. How would the auditor
understand the training system?
In the case of this example appropriate questions to ask may include:
• Who is the trainer, is he/she qualified?
• What type of training is given, what is the curriculum?
• When is training provided to personnel?
• Where is training given?
• How often is training offered?
• How is training administered, how do they know that the trainees understand?
• Why are certain people selected to receive training?
If the design of the training program is such that when implemented it should ensure that
compliance is achieved, compliance should be attained if the program is properly implemented.

If the design of the program is flawed, the program will break down and compliance deficiencies
may result. The Phase 2 protocols have been developed to assist the auditor in asking the right
questions to be able to understand the structure of the management systems for specific
environmental programs and to understand how they are designed to achieve compliance.
Phase 3 auditing concentrates on evaluating the macro level management systems which have
been put into place to address all environmental programs at a facility/site.
Phase 3 looks at programs that have been designed to achieve compliance and those that go
beyond compliance. The evaluation centers on the total environmental program design which has
been put into place to effectively manage sustainable high-quality environmental operations at
a facility/site. Further, auditors evaluate overall management of the entire spectrum of
environmental operations as well as benchmarking ideas, initiatives, and actions reaching toward
good stewardship of the environment. The purpose of Phase 3 assessments is to review
environmental management system for all programs; there should be some investigation into
specific program areas (e.g., air quality, waste management, etc.) to ensure that the program is
being implemented as it was designed. This is known as taking a "vertical slice". The goal is
to determine how the management system is implemented on a programmatic level. By
conducting the "vertical slice", the auditor can verify that the program is implemented as it was
designed. In fact, there are two levels of review. First an assessment of weaknesses of the
management system and secondly whether the program has been implemented. It is critical that
auditors be able to determine whether the management system design can attain compliance if
implemented and follow up with the verification of implementation to ensure that systems are
functioning.
Additional detail is provided in the introductions to each part later in this manual.
0. Audit Procedures
Those agencies which are attempting to identify the areas in which compliance deficiencies are
present should focus on Phase 1 auditing, and use the Phase 1 protocols.
To conduct effective compliance-oriented audits, the audit team needs to possess the knowledge
of the operations/processes to be reviewed, the regulations used as audit standards and have a
working knowledge of good audit practices. The Phase 1 audit protocols should be reviewed by
the auditor and used as a planning tool to assist the auditor in understanding the requirements for
conducting a comprehensive audit. The federal, state and local environmental standards should
be reviewed, with the Phase 1 protocols annotated, as required, to include other standards not
present in the protocol. The auditor should determine which regulatory agency has authority for
executing an environmental program so that the proper set of regulations is consulted.
For example, many states have been granted authority for carrying out the Hazardous Waste
Management Program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). State
programs which have authority for implementing federally mandated programs may have more

stringent standards. This is especially true for air pollution control standards in major
metropolitan areas. Use the protocol as an auditing tool, but not as a substitute for the applicable
regulations.
Phase 2 of the protocol manual is designed to facilitate the assessment of management systems
established for specific environmental programs. The emphasis here will be on understanding
what is the regulatory standard of care and how it can best be achieved. . Many of the
environmental standards are performance-based standards which establish a minimum level of
care which must be achieved. The agency has the obligation to establish programs for addressing
how the standards will be attained. For example, understanding what the hazardous waste
standards are will give great insights into what is required to achieve and maintain compliance.
Therefore, assembling a team to assess the management systems of a specific environmental
program will require regulatory knowledge, knowledge of the operation facility under review and
an understanding of the principles of management and organization. The team's purpose will be
to gain an understanding of the design of the regulatory program and to have the skills to assess
the strengths and weaknesses of the program to determine whether it can attain and maintain
compliance.
Phase 3 focuses on the most sophisticated of environmental programs. These programs set in
place the fundamental building blocks of the management systems for each environmental
program as well as linking these programs with an umbrella management system. These
assessments center on management systems and not on the regulatory standards. The team
makeup is quite different for these reviews, with the emphasis on management and any
organizational skills and less on intimate knowledge of the regulatory standards. The review
encompasses: 1) understanding what makes up the management system, 2) whether the umbrella
management system can achieve compliance with all environmental programs, and 3) how the
agency knows that it works. Verification of the system implementation is less than in Phase 2.
The assessor completing the Environmental Protection Programs discipline will verify that the
programs address standards and meet requirements. This auditor is key to the overall success
of the review because this is where theory of design meets actual implementation in the field.
There are far less standards dictating what is to be done and even less on how to do it, so the
team must have management experience, as well as strong interpersonal skills.
It is critical that the auditors conducting each type of review (Phase 1, 2, or 3) act as a team.
There is far greater depth of knowledge .as well as perspective in acting as a team. It is also
suggested that auditors take detailed notes while conducting a review. It is simply impossible
to remember who said what, what was observed and which records were reviewed over the
course of an audit. Finally, audit protocols and notes are extremely useful resources in planning
future audits. They can be used to highlight bottlenecks and breakdowns in the audit process
which may be avoided by future audit teams and may be a source of reference to previous
environmental management performance.

Introduction
A. Purpose
The primary purpose of an environmental compliance audit is to confirm the status of
compliance with:
• Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations;
• Agency-specific environmental management policies and procedures; and
• Federal Executive Orders.
When completed properly, the environmental compliance audit should provide a detailed
accounting of the compliance deficiencies within an agency's environmental management
programs.
B. Scope and Format
Phase 1 provides the protocols needed to conduct comprehensive environmental compliance
audits of Federal facilities. These environmental audit protocols are based on Federal
environmental regulations and are to be supplemented using state and local environmental
regulations that are applicable to Federal facilities. This manual is intended to serve as a tool
for conducting the environmental compliance audits. This Phase is divided into 16 sections
(protocol disciplines). They are:
1. Air Pollution Control
2. Water Pollution Control
3. Nonhazardous Waste Management
4. Hazardous Waste Management
5. CERCLA/SARA
6. Spill Control and Response
7. Environmental Impacts
8. Hazardous Materials Management
9. Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know
10. Cultural and Historic Resources
11. Storage Tanks
12. Drinking Water
13. PCBs
14. Pesticides
15. Groundwater Protection
16. Environmental Radiation
Phase 1 - Introduction
-------
Each section is organized in the following format:
1. Applicability
This section provides guidance on the major activities and operations included in the protocol
and a brief description of the major application.
2. Federal Legislation
This section of each protocol identifies, in summary form, the key regulatory issues associated
with the compliance area in the Federal law.
3. State/Local Requirements
This section of each protocol identifies the "typical" compliance areas normally addressed in
state and local regulations. This section does not present individual state/local requirements.
An assessment of state and local requirements must be conducted and supplemental
questions prepared to cover these requirements.
4. Key Compliance Requirements
This section of each protocol summarizes the significant compliance requirements associated
with the regulations previously identified. It is a brief abstract summarizing the overall thrust
of the regulations for that particular compliance category.
5. Key Compliance Definitions
This section of each protocol presents definitions for those key terms associated with each
compliance category.
6. Compliance Assessment Mechanism
The final section of each protocol and its tables and figures contain evaluation procedures
(checklists) composed of requirements or guidelines that serve as indicators to point out
possible compliance problems, as well as practices, conditions, and situations that could
indicate potential problems. They are intended to focus attention on the key compliance
questions and issues that should be investigated. Instructions are provided to direct the
evaluator to the appropriate action, references, or activity that corresponds to the specific
requirement or guideline.
Phase 1 - Introduction
-------
C. Approach
The Phase 1 protocols are divided into two columns. The first of these is a statement of a
requirement. This may be a strict regulatory requirement, in which case the citation is given,
or it may be a requirement that is considered to be a good management practice to maintain
compliance, but which is not specifically mandated.
The first column gives instructions to help conduct the compliance evaluation. These
instructions are intended to be specific action items that should be accomplished by the
investigator. Some of the instructions may be a simple documentation check taking a few
minutes; others may require physical inspection of a facility.
A second column on the worksheet provided with this manual allows for more detailed
notations or comments. These notations will provide a record for use in preparing the final
report. These notations should include both situations of substandard operation needing
attention and those operations that are above requirements or provide examples of good
programs. For future reference and clarity it is essential that the building number (or other
reference to location) be made during the review as well as room number, date and time of
occurrence.
The evaluation procedures are designed as an aid and should not be considered exhaustive.
Use of the guide requires the evaluator's judgment to play a role in determining the focus and
extent of further investigation. A review of appropriate state, local, regulations should be
conducted so additional review questions that reflect the substantive requirements of
state/local regulations pertinent to individual installations can be included on the worksheets.

Phase 1 - Introduction
-------
A. Applicability
This section includes regulations, responsibilities, and compliance requirements associated
with air pollution emissions from equipment and vehicles. The major types and sources of air
emissions include:
• Particulates, SO2, NO,, and CO from fuel burning at steam and hot water generation
plants and boilers;
• Particulates and toxic air emissions from the operation of hazardous waste, general waste,
classified material, and medical, pathological, and/or infectious waste incinerators;
• Particulates, CO, metals, and toxic air pollutant emissions from open burning and open
detonation operations;
• The emission of volatile organic compound (VOC) vapors from the operation of
degreasers and other processes (paint stripping and metal finishing) that use solvents;
• The emission of CO from vehicles and equipment operated on the facility;
• Fugitive particulate emissions from training activities and construction/demolition
operations; and
• Asbestos emissions from building/equipment demolition/renovation operations.
Most facilities have air emissions sources in one or more of these categories. Therefore, this
section is applicable to some extent at all facilities.
Assessors are required to review the agency, federal, state and local regulations in order to
perform a comprehensive assessment.
B. Federal Legislation
1. The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1977
The purpose of the CAA (42 USCA 7401 et seq.) is to protect and enhance the quality of the
nation's air. To achieve this objective, five regulatory programs and objectives were
established by EPA:
• National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS);
• New Source Performance Standards (NSPS);
Phase 1 - Section 1
Air Pollution Control
1-1
-------
• National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP);
• Federal permitting requirements (new source review [NSR] and prevention of significant
deterioration [PSD]); and
• State Implementation Plan (SIP) program (state plants to attain and maintain NAAQS).
2. The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990
This Act, Public Law (PL) 101-549 (42 U.S. Code (USC) 7401-7671q), revised and added to
the scope of the CAAA.
The purposes of the CAAA are to:
• Protect and enhance the quality of the nation's air resources so as to promote the public
health and welfare and the productivity of its population;
• Initiate and accelerate a national research and development program to achieve the
prevention and control of air pollution;
• Provide technical and financial assistance to state and local governments regarding the
development and execution of their air pollution prevention and control efforts;
• Encourage and assist the development and operation of regional air pollution prevention
and control programs (42 USC 7401(b));
• Achieve a substantial reduction in emission of hazardous air pollutants from area sources
and an equivalent reduction in the public health risks associated with such sources
including a reduction of not less than 75 per centum in the incidence of cancer
attributable to emissions from such sources (42 USC 7412(k)(l));
• Reduce the adverse effects of acid deposition through reductions in annual emissions of
SO2 from 1980 emission levels, and of NOX emissions from 1980 emission levels, in the
48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia and to bring about such reductions by
requiring affected sources to comply with prescribed emission limitations by specified
deadlines. Limitations may be met through alternative methods of compliance provided
by an emission allocation and transfer system; and
Phase 1 • Section 1
Air Pollution Control
1-2
-------
• Encourage energy conservation, use of renewable and clean alternative technologies, and
pollution prevention as a long-range strategy, consistent with the provisions of this Act,
for reducing air pollution and other adverse impacts of energy production and use (42
USC 765l(b)).
Each department, agency, and instrument of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of
the Federal Government, and each officer, agent, or employee of such a unit, must comply
with, all Federal, state, interstate, and local requirements, administrative authority, and process
and sanctions respecting the control and abatement of air pollution in the same manner, and
to the same extent as any nongovernment entity. This applies to (42 USC 74l8(a)):
• Any requirement whether substantive or procedural (including recordkeeping, reporting,
and emission);
• Any requirement to pay a fee or charge imposed by any state or local agency to defray
the costs of its air pollution regulatory program;
• The exercise of any Federal, state, or local administrative authority; and
• Any process and sanction, whether enforced in Federal, state, or local courts, or in any
other manner.
Each department, agency, or instrument of the Federal Government must not engage in,
support in any way or provide financial assistance for, license or permit, or approve, any
activity which does not conform to an implementation plan after it has been approved or
passed under this Act. Any Federal agency may not approve, accept or fund any
transportation plan, program or project unless such plan, program or project has been found to
conform to any applicable implementation plan in effect (42 USC 7506(c)(l)(2)).
3. The Clean Water Act (CWA)
This Act governs the control of water pollution in the nation. The objective of the CWA is to
restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters.
This Act led to the promulgation of regulations concerning the incineration of sewage sludge.
4. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
This Act, as last amended in 1986 (15 U.S. Code (USC) 2601-2671), is the federal legislation
which deals with the control of toxic substances. The Act consists of three subchapters, one
Phase 1 - Section 1
Air Pollution Control
1-3
-------
of which regulates the control of toxic substances, another governs asbestos hazard emergency
response, and another subchapter regulates indoor radon abatement. The policy developed in
TSCA on chemical substances is as follows (15 USC 2601(b)):
a. Adequate data should be developed with respect to the effect of chemical substances and
mixtures on health and the environment and that the development of such data should be
the responsibility of those who manufacture and those who process such chemical
substances and mixtures;
b. Adequate authority should exist to regulate chemical substances and mixtures which
present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, and to take action
regarding chemical substances and mixtures; and
c. Authority over chemical substances and mixtures should be exercised in such a manner as
not to impede unduly or create unnecessary economic barriers to technological innovation
while fulfilling the primary purpose of this Act to assure that such innovation and
commerce in such chemical substances and mixtures do not present an unreasonable risk
of injury to health or the environment.
Upon request by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), each Federal
department and agency is authorized to (15 USC 2625(a)):
a. Make its services, personnel, and facilities available (with or without reimbursement) to
the USEPA to assist the USEPA in the administration of this Act; and
b. Furnish the USEPA with information, data, estimates, and statistics, and allow the
USEPA access to all information in its possession as the USEPA may reasonably
determine to be necessary for the administration of this Act.
Under TSCA the national long-term goal of the United States with respect to radon levels in
building is that the air within buildings in the United States should be as free of radon as the
ambient air outside of buildings (15 USC 2661). The head of each Federal Department or
agency that owns a Federal building must conduct a study for the purpose of determining the
extent of radon contamination in such buildings. Such study must include, in the case of a
Federal building using a nonpublic water source (such as a well or other groundwater), radon
contamination of the water. Such a study must be based on design criteria specified by the
USEPA (15 USC 2669(a)(c)(e)).

5. The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) of 1986
This Act, last amended in November 1990 (15 USC 2641-2656, et al, and 20 USC 4014, et
al.), is the federal legislation which governs the control and abatement of asbestos hazard
present in school buildings. The purpose of this Act is (15 USC 2641(b)):
a. To provide for the establishment of federal regulations which require inspection for
asbestos- containing material and implementation of appropriate response actions with
respect to asbestos-containing material in the Nation's schools in a safe and complete
manner;
b. To mandate safe and complete periodic reinspection of school buildings following
response actions, where appropriate; and
c. To require the USEPA to conduct a study to find out the extent of the danger to human
health posed by asbestos in public and commercial buildings and the means to respond to
any such danger.
6. The Hazardous Materials Transportation Act
This Act was amended in 1978 to regulate the transport of asbestos materials. The regulations
are contained in 49 CFR 172-177. In particular 49 CFR 177 requires that asbestos must be
loaded, handled, and unloaded in a manner that will minimize occupational exposure to
airborne asbestos. Asbestos wastes which are transported for disposal at a landfill or other
disposal facility must meet all applicable requirements.
7. Executive Order (EO) 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards
This EO, dated 13 October 1978, requires Federally owned and operated facilities to comply
with applicable Federal, state, and local pollution control standards. It makes the head of
each executive agency responsible for seeing to it that the agencies, facilities, programs, and
activities it funds meet applicable Federal, state, and local environmental requirements or to
correct situations that are not in compliance with such requirements. In addition, the EO
requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental compliance are
included in the agency budget.
8. Executive Order (EO) 12873, Federal Acquisition, Recycling, and Waste Prevention
This EO, dated 20 October 1993, mandates waste prevention and recycling as part of an
agency's daily operations. It requires each agency to set a goal for solid waste prevention
and a goal for recycling to be achieved by the year 1995. Agencies are also required to set
goals for increasing the procurement of recycled and other environmentally preferable
products.

C. State/Local Regulations
The primary mechanisms regulating air pollutant emissions are the state or air quality control
region (AQCR) regulations. These regulations will normally follow the Federal guidelines for
state programs and will have many similar features. However, depending on the type and
degree of air pollutant problems within the state/region, the individual regulations will vary.
As an example, photochemical oxidant (ozone) problems are widespread in California and,
therefore, the individual AQCRs in that state have stringent VOC emission requirements. The
state of North Dakota has no such problem and, therefore, has fewer and less stringent VOC
regulations.
New source performance standards (NSPS) are established for particular pollutants in
industrial categories based upon adequately demonstrated control technology. A permit is
normally required for new, expanded, or modified sources of air pollutants.
Some state regulations apply directly to some facilities and operations without requiring a
permit. At a minimum, state regulations should be reviewed for the following activities:
• Fugitive dust emissions;
• Control of paniculate emissions from the transportation of refuse or materials in open
vehicles;
• Certification requirements for boiler operators;
• Emissions and emission control requirements for the operation of existing fossil fuel-fired
steam generators;
• Open burning;
• Vehicle exhaust emissions testing;
• Spray painting of vehicles, buildings, and/or furniture;
• Certification of vehicles transporting VOC liquids;
• Paving of roads and parking lots;
• Toxic air pollutants;
Phase 1 - Section 1
Air Pollution Control
1-6
-------
• Operation of cold cleaners, degreasers, and open top vapor degreasers;
• Vapor control requirements for fuel pumps; and
• Prescribed burning.
Many state and local governments have enacted standards more stringent than the Federal
requirements concerning certification of asbestos workers and disposal of asbestos waste. If
the facility is engaging in asbestos removal or disposal, contact the appropriate state and local
agencies.
State and local governments may enact radon control standards.
D. Key Compliance Requirements
1. Steam Generating Units (greater than 29 MW (100 MBtu/h))
Steam generating units with capacity greater than 29 MW (100 Mbtu/h) that started
construction or modification after 19 June 1984 are required to meet emissions limitation for
particulates, S02, and NOX. The limit which applies is dependent on the type of fuel being
burned. Records are required to be kept of the amounts of fuel combusted each day (40 CFR
60.40b through 60.49b).
2. Steam Generating Units (2.9 MW (10 Mbtu/h) - 29 MW (100 Mbtu/h))

1989 with a maximum design heat input capacity of greater than or equal to 2.9 MW (10
Mbtu/h) but equal to or less than 29 MW (100 Mbtu/h) are required to limit emissions of SO2
and particulates. Discharge rates are to be monitored and if there is no monitoring system,
fuel is required to be sampled prior to combustion. Facilities are required to submit excess
emission reports for any calendar quarter in which it exceeds opacity limits. If an facility does
not exceed the limits in a given year, it is required to file semiannual reports confirming this
fact. Facilities required to meet SO2 emission limits are also required to submit quarterly
reports (40 CFR 60.40c through 60.48c).
3. Fuel Burning Facilities (greater than 73 MW (250 Mbtu/h))
Fuel burning facilities constructed or modified after 17 August 1971 with greater than 73 MW
(250 Mbtu/h) heat input are required to limit emissions of particulates, SO2 and NOr
Monitoring of these substances and fuel analysis is also required to be done (40 CFR 60.44
and 60.45).

4. Stationary Gas Turbines
Stationary gas turbines with a heat input greater than or equal to 10.7 gJ/h [10.17 Mbtu/h]
that were constructions or modified after 3 October 1977 are required to limit the amounts of
NOX and S02 emitted. In addition to the emissions, the sulfur and nitrogen content of the fuel
being fired must also be monitored (40 CFR 60.330 through 60.335).
5. Municipal Waste Combustor
Municipal waste combustors with a capacity greater than 225 megagram (Mg) (250 tons) per
day that started construction or modification after 20 December 1989 are required'to limits
the amounts of dioxin/furan, SO2, hydrogen chloride, CO, and NOX emitted. The chief
municipal waste combustor operator and shift supervisors are required to be certified to
operate the combustor and there must be an operating manual that is updated yearly (40 CFR
60.50a through 60.58a).
6. Incinerators
Incinerators with greater than 45 metric tons/day (50 tons/day) charging rate that started
construction or modification after 17 August 1971 are required to meet emissions limitations
for particulates and CO2. Additionally they are to maintain records of daily charging rates
and hours of operation (40 CFR 60.50 through 60.54).
7. Sewage Sludge Incinerators
Sewage sludge incinerators that combust greater than 1000 kg/day (2205 Ib/day) which were
constructed or modified after 11 June 1973 are required to limit their emissions of
particulates. Monitoring devices are required depending on what type of incinerator the
facility operates (40 CFR 60.150 through 60.156).
8. Beryllium Incinerators
Incinerators for beryllium containing waste, beryllium, beryllium oxide, or beryllium alloys
cannot emit more than 10 g [0.32 oz] of beryllium over a 24 hour period into the atmosphere.
Records of emissions tests are required to be kept for two years (40 CFR 61.30 through
61.34).
9. Incineration of Sewage Sludge
Facilities with incinerators that fire sewage sludge must meet specific emissions standards for
beryllium emissions, mercury emissions, and hydrocarbons. The incinerators are required to
have continuous monitoring devices for hydrocarbons and oxygen in the exit gas, and
continuous monitoring for combustion temperature as specified by the permitting authority.
Assorted reports are required to be submitted and records kept (40 CFR 503.40 through
503.48).

10. Gasoline Dispensing
Leaded gasoline shall not be introduced into any motor vehicle that is labeled UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY, or that is equipped with a gasoline tank filler inlet designed for
introduction of unleaded gasoline. Fuel pumps are required to display signs stating the type
of fuel in each pump and that only unleaded gas can be introduced into labeled vehicles. The
nozzles of the pumps are required to be properly sized. Depending on whether the
oxygenated gas is still in the control period, or the area has an oxygenated gasoline program
with a credit program, pumps dispensing oxygenated gasoline are required to be labeled.
During 1992 and later high ozone seasons and regulatory control periods, gasoline shall not
be sold, offered for sale, imported, dispensed, supplied, or transported that exceeds reid vapor
pressure standards in Appendix 1-1. No diesel fuel shall be distributed, transported, offered
for sale, or dispensed for use in motor vehicles unless it is free of the dye 1,4-dialkylamino-
antraquinone and has an acetane index of at least 40, or a maximum aromatic content of 35
volume percent and a sulfur percentage of less than 0.05 percent (40 CFR 80.22(a), 80.22(d),
80.22(e), 80.24(a)(l), 80.27(a)(2), 80.35, 80.80(d), and 80.29(a)).
11. Rotogravure Printing Presses
Publication rotogravure printing presses, except for proof presses, that started construction or
modification after 28 October, are required to ensure that gases are not being discharged
containing VOC equal to more than 16 percent of the total mass of VOC solvent and water
used at that press during any one performance averaging period (40 CFR 60.430 through
60.435).
12. Fugitive Emissions
The emission of volatile hazardous air pollutants (VHAP), vinyl chlorides and benzene, is
required to be managed, monitored, and controlled according to specific requirements. These
include taking certain actions when a leak is detected, ensuring that certain records are
maintained, ensuring that pumps and compressors meet certain standards, and that pressure
relief devices in gas/vapor service have no detectable emissions except during pressure
releases. Valves and lines in VHAP service are required to be monitored monthly and repairs
done within 15 days of leak detection. Systems and devices used to control VHAP emissions
must recover vapors with 95 percent efficiency or greater. Enclosed combustion devices will
be designed and operated to reduce VHAP and benzene emissions and closed-vent systems
will have no detectable emissions (40 CFR 61.240 through 61.242-10, 61.246, and 61.247).
13. Sulfuric and Nitric Acid Plants
These plants are required to limit their emissions and install continuous monitoring systems
(40 CFR 60.70 through 60.85).
Phase 1 - Section 1
Air Pollution Control

-------
14. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and Halons
To protect the ozone, no person repairing or servicing motor vehicles for payment can service
a motor vehicle air conditioner in any way that affects the refrigerant unless they have been
trained and certified and are using approved equipment. Additionally, persons who maintain,
service, or repair appliance, except MVACs, and persons who dispose of appliances, except
for small appliances, room air conditioners, MVACs and MVAC-like appliances are required
to be certified through an approved technician certification program. As of 15 November
1992, no Class I or Class II substances suitable for use in motor vehicles as a refrigerant can
be sold or distributed in any container that is less than 20 Ib [9.07 kg] to any person unless
that person is trained and certified. Facilities that sell Class I or Class II substances suitable
for use as a refrigerant in containers of less than 20 Ib [9.07 kg] are required to display a sign
with certain wording. The servicing of appliances containing CFCs and Halons is required to
be done in a manner to prevent emissions (40 CFR 82.34(a), 82.34(b), 82.42(a) through
82.42(c), and 80.150 through 80.166).
15. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
The cornerstone of the Clean Air Act is the development and implementation of the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), as required in Title I, Section 109. States are
required to develop and submit State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to the U.S. EPA for
approval and delegation of authority. These SIPs are required to demonstrate how a State will
control its current and future emissions sources such that the State's air quality levels will
attain and maintain the NAAQS.
16. Criteria Pollutants
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 established the basis that required EPA to develop a
list of air pollutants originating from numerous or diverse mobile and stationary sources that
may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Criteria documents were
developed by EPA for such pollutants, reflecting the latest scientific knowledge useful in
indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on public health and welfare that can
be expected from the presence of the pollutants in the ambient air. Substances designated as
criteria pollutants are sulfur dioxide, paniculate matter (total suspended particulates prior to
July 1, 1988, and PM-10 subsequently), carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and lead.
17. State Implementation Plan (SIP)
The Clean Air Act required each state to develop a plan (State Implementation Plan or SIP)
that would provide for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the primary and
secondary ambient air quality standards. Title I of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments
requires states to upgrade and submit modified SIPs particularly for ozone and PMIO
nonattainment areas. Many states also included requirements directed at the prevention of
Phase 1 - Section 1
Air Pollution Control
1-10
-------
significant deterioration (PSD) of air quality in areas already meeting the air quality
standards. States that did not develop their own more stringent PSD regulations are subject to
the federal program defined in 40 CFR 52.21. The individual states were provided an
opportunity to establish air quality standards for the criteria pollutants that are more stringent
than the Federal standards, and also to establish air quality standards for substances not listed
as Federal criteria pollutants.
18. Standard of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS)
In response to the Clean Air Act, the EPA has developed (and is continuing to develop) for a
specific list of sources, emission standards, notification and testing procedures, and
monitoring and reporting requirements that apply to sources commencing construction or
modification subsequent to proposal of a standard applicable to that facility. In many
instances, authority has been delegated to individual States to carry out this regulatory
process.
19. National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
Prior to the 1990 amendments, the U.S. EPA established emission standards, monitoring and
testing requirements, and reporting requirements for a relatively small group of sources that
potentially emit the following carcinogenic or mutagenic substances: inorganic arsenic,
asbestos, benzene, mercury, radionuclides, radon-222, and vinyl chloride. These regulations
are found in 40 CFR 61.
Under T^tle III of the 1990 Amendments, the U.S. EPA modified the NESHAPs program to
address a much larger population of sources with potential emissions of hazardous air
pollutants. This modified program leaves the previous program intact and principally creates
two new programs for the control of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that separately address
both chronic and accidental releases. The federal programs under Title III were pre-empted in
many states on the east and west coast. The Federal program for the control of chronic
releases is technology based for specific source categories and the program is defined in 40
CFR 63. It addresses both major and area sources of 189 hazardous air pollutants listed in the
Title. Major sources are defined in Title III as having potential emissions of 10 tons per year
(TPY) or greater of a single listed HAP or 25 TPY in aggregate of listed HAPs. The U.S.
EPA has the authority to redefine major source criteria and also regulate smaller sources as
area sources. The chronic release control program regulations are to be promulgated for each
source category by the year 2000. The accidental release program is currently in the
regulatory proposal stage (40 CFR 68-58 FR 54190, 10/20/93 [proposed rule]).
Phase 1 - Section 1
Air Pollution Control
1-11
-------
It is important to note that a large number of states developed their own "air toxics" control
programs prior to the enactment of the new Federal HAP control program. These state
programs typically have a control technology component and an acceptable ambient air
concentration component. The ambient air concentration component is not part of the initial
Federal control program, although after implementation of the control program under 40 CFR
63 the U.S. EPA is required to address residual risks of sources of HAPs.
20. Acid Rain Control
Some facilities may also be subject to some components of the acid rain control program
mandated by Title IV of the Clean Air Act. This program mostly addresses utility emissions
of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide through mandated emissions limits, tradeable
emissions (e.g. allowances), and monitoring requirements. In addition, there are provisions for
repowering of power plants with Clean Coal Technologies, sponsored by the Department of
Energy and other sources. Control programs are required to be implemented as early as 1995,
with deadlines for applications and allowance demonstrations that began in 1993. The Acid
Rain provision core rules are codified in 40 CFR 72, 73, 75, and 77.
21. Federal Operating Permit Program
Under Title V of the Clean Air Act, States were required to submit to EPA by November 15,
1993 plans for developing operating permit programs. The operating permit program is
required as specified in 40 CFR 70 for sources subject to New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS), NESHAPS, the Acid Rain provisions, and other major sources. The first
requirements of this program for stationary sources will be to develop and submit permit
applications to either the U.S. EPA or the State as early as the fall of 1994 for some sources.
The operating permit application will be used to develop a single comprehensive operating
permit that encompasses all applicable air pollution control requirements for the source. In
addition, the source will be required to submit periodic reports to the regulatory agencies
regarding the source's performance relative to its permit requirements. These reports and the
process in general will be open to the public.
22. Renovation and Demolition of Asbestos-Containing Structures
Facilities that demolish structures containing asbestos above certain limits, must meet
notification requirements, emission control requirements and wetting requirements. This
applies to facilities that demolish structures containing at least 80 linear m (260 linear ft) of
RACM on pipes, or at least 15m2 (160m2) of RACM on other components or at least 1 m3
(35 ft3) off facility components, and facilities renovating structures and stripping or removing
at least 80 linear m (260 linear ft) of RACM on pipes, or at least 15m2 (160m2) of RACM of
friable asbestos on other facility components and at least 1 m3 (35 ft3) off facility

components. If the concentration of asbestos is less than this level, then the facility must
submit notification of demolition. Facilities being demolished under state or local
governmental agency orders shall have the portion of the facility containing friable asbestos
adequately wetted during the wrecking operation. When a site is demolished by intentional
burning, all regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACM) must be removed. No RACM
shall be stripped, removed, or otherwise handled or distributed unless at least one onsite
representative trained in asbestos removal is present. When air cleaning is used as a method
of controlling emissions of asbestos to the outside air, the fabric filter collection systems are
required to meet specific standards, unless alternative equipment is authorized for use by the
USEPA (40 CFR 61.145 and 61.152).
23. Asbestos Disposal
Asbestos-containing waste must be wetted or bagged to prevent emissions to the air.
Asbestos waste has to be disposed of in landfills that have been approved for the acceptance
of asbestos-containing waste (40 CFR 61.150, 61.151, and 61.154).
24. Asbestos in Schools
School buildings are required to be inspected for asbestos. An asbestos management plan is
required and response action must be done in a timely manner. If there is friable asbestos in
the school, there must be an O&M and repair program that limits the asbestos from becoming
airborne and personnel exposure. Warning labels will be attached immediately adjacent to
any friable and nonfriable asbestos-containing building material (ACBM) and suspected
ACBM assumed to be asbestos-containing material (ACM). Staff at the school must receive
training on the hazards involved (40 CFR 763).

through 763.90(0).
Verify that if damaged or significantly damaged thermal system insulation ACM is
present in the building, the facility will:
• At least repair the damaged area
- Remove the damaged material if it is not feasible, due to technological difficulties,
to repair the damage
- Maintain all thermal system insulation ACM and its coverings in an intact state and
undamaged condition.
Verify that if damaged friable surfacing ACM or damaged friable miscellaneous ACM
is present, the facility uses one of the following response actions.
- Encapsulation
- Enclosure
• Removal
- Repair.
Verify that if significantly damaged friab'e surfacing ACM or significantly damaged
friable miscellaneous ACM is present in a building, the facility:
- Immediately isolates the functional space and restricts access unless isolation is
not needed to protect human health •
- Removes the material in the functional space or, depending on whether enclosure
or encapsulation is sufficient to protect human health and the environment, enclose
or encapsulate.
Verify that if any friable surfacing ACM. thermal system insulation ACM, or friable
miscellaneous ACM that has potential for damage is present in the building, an
appropriate operations and maintenance (O&M) program is implemented.
Verify that if any friable surfacing ACM, thermal insulation ACM, or friable
miscellaneous ACM that has potential for significant damage is present, the facility:
- Implements an appropriate O&M program
- Institutes preventative measures to eliminate the reasonable likelihood that the
ACM will become significantly damaged, deteriorated, or delaminated
- Removes the material as soon as possible if appropriate preventative measures
cannot be implemented.

-------
A. Applicability
This section includes regulations, responsibilities and compliance requirements associated with
wastewater discharge at facilities. Wastewater discharge can include any of the following:
1. Sanitary wastewater discharge directly to a receiving stream;
2. Sanitary or industrial wastewater discharge to a Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(POTW) or other treatment facilities;
3. Stormwater runoff from operational areas of the facility to a receiving stream or water
body; and
4. Industrial or storm wastewater drained to an industrial waste reservoir.
Most facilities have wastewater discharge of one kind or another, and therefore this section
will be applicable to most facilities.
Assessors are required to review state and local regulations in order to perform a
comprehensive assessment.
B. Federal Legislation
1. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act
This Act, commonly known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended 4 February 1987 (33
U.S. Code (USC) 1251-1387; Public Law (PL) 100-4), governs the control of water pollution
in the nation. The objective of the act is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and
biological integrity of the nation's waters. Federal agencies are required to comply with all
Federal, state, interstate, and local water pollution control requirements both substantively and
procedurally (33 USC 1323(a)).
2. Executive Order (EO) 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards
This EO, dated 13 October 1978, requires Federally owned and operated facilities to comply
with applicable Federal, state, and local pollution control standards. It makes the head of
each executive agency responsible for seeing to it that the agencies, facilities, programs, and
activities the agency funds meet applicable Federal, state, and local environmental
requirements or to correct situations that are not in compliance with such requirements. In
addition, the EO requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental
compliance are included in the agency budget.
Phase 1 - Section 2
Water Pollution Control
2-1
-------
C. State/Local Regulations
States normally have wastewater discharge legislation and regulations which require
permitting similar to the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program.
The state is often delegated authority to administer the NPDES permits for discharges in their
state. These permits are often joint permits issued pursuant to both Federal and state
legislation. In some cases, the state will not administer the NPDES program and will issue a
state permit even though a NPDES permit has been issued by the U.S. Environmental,
Protection Agency (USEPA). The states and the USEPA normally cooperate in the permit
issuance process to insure that the two permits are consistent, but there may be differences in
monitoring requirements and the number of pollutants limited. These requirements normally
do not conflict, but may require additional sampling and dual reporting.
States also have more stringent requirements for wastewater treatment plant operations. Many
states have wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operator licensing and certification programs
which require that an operator pass an exam and have a required amount of experience.
Local entities (counties, cities) may also have enforceable wastewater discharge limitations
which regulate discharges to a POTW. Local limitations often include pH, temperature, and
concentrations of various organic and inorganic compounds. Major industrial operations
which discharge to an off-site POTW will be subjected to pre-treatment permits issued by the
POTW, state, or USEPA as appropriate.
D. Key Compliance Requirements
1. NPDES Permits
Facilities with point source discharges and/or treatment works treating domestic wastewater
are required to have a Federal NPDES permit if located in states without a USEPA approved
NPDES permit program. Facilities that are dischargers of stormwater associated with an
industrial activity are required to apply for an individual permit, apply for a permit through a
group application, or seek coverage under a promulgated stormwater general permit.
Facilities must meet the sampling requirements stipulated by NPDES permits (40 CFR
122.1 (b)(3) and 122.26(c)).
2. Treatment Works
Facilities must not discharge into a treatment works any pollutant that would cause pass
through or interference. Facilities shall not introduce pollutants into a treatment works that
create a fire or explosion hazard, cause corrosive structural damage, have a pH below 5.0, or
are solid or viscous enough to cause obstructions. Facilities are required to notify the
treatment works immediately of any discharge, including any slug loadings, that could cause
problems to the treatment works (40 CFR 403.5 and 403.12(0).
Phase 1 - Section 2
Water Pollution Control
2-2
-------
3. Operation and Maintenance of a Treatment Works
Treatment plant supervisors are required to maintain operating logs and records that are
posted daily and are neat and legible. Treatment plants are required to be operated in
accordance with all design parameters (40 CFR 403.12(f))
4. Effluent Limitations for Steam Electric Power Generating Sources
Facilities that have steam electric power generating sources must meet point source effluent
limitations. Of special concern is the discharge of free available chlorine and total residual
chlorine. Additionally there must be no discharge of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). There
are additional standards depending on if the source is a new or an existing source (40 CFR
423).
5. Effluent Limits for Electroplating Point Sources
Facilities that have existing electroplating operations that introduce pollutants into a POTW
resulting from the electroplating of common metals are subject to pretreatment standards
which vary depending upon the level of discharge and the nature of the metals used (40 CFR
413).
6. Effluent Limitation for Metal Finishing Point Sources
Facilities that have shops performing electroplating, electroless plating, anodizing, coating,
chemical etching and milling, and printed circuit board manufacturing are subject to certain
best available technology (BAT) point source effluent limitations, which include the self-
monitoring of cyanide. Facilities that introduce pollutants from existing metal finishing point
sources into POTWs are subject to certain pretreatment standards. Facilities that introduce
pollutants from new metal finishing point sources into POTWs are subject to certain •
performance and pretreatment standards (40 CFR 433).
7. Discharge Limits for Hospitals
Hospitals are required to limit the quantity and quality of their discharges. The following are
restricted: BODS, TSS, and pH (40 CFR 460).
8. Discharge Limits for Photo Labs
Photo labs that process more than 150 m2 per day of film must limit their discharges for
silver, CN, and pH (40 CFR 459).
9. Land Application of Sludge
40 CFR 503 details the pollutant concentrations, cumulative loading rates, and other
restrictions pertinent to the land application of sludge that is generated during the treatment of
domestic sludge in a treatment works.
10. Surface Disposal of Sewage Sludge
The operation, management, monitoring, and closure requirements for units used for the
surface disposal of sewage sludge are outlined in 40 CFR 503.20 through 503.28.
Phase 1 - Section 2

-------
A. Applicability
This section addresses the collection, storage and disposal of solid waste at facilities. Solid
waste is considered to be non-hazardous trash, rubbish, garbage, bulky wastes, liquids or
sludges. The handling and disposal of asbestos waste materials are addressed in the Air
Pollution Control protocol.
Recycling and resource recovery activities are also included in this section because they are
considered a form of solid waste management.
Assessors are required to review agency, federal, state and local regulations in order to
perform a comprehensive assessment.
B. Federal Legislation
1. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976
This is the Federal law which governs the disposal of solid waste. Subtitle D of this Act, as
last amended in November 1984 (Public Law (P.L.) 98-616; 42 U.S. Code (USC) 6941-
6949a), establishes Federal standards and requirements for state and regional authorities
respecting solid waste disposal. The objectives of this subtitle are to assist in developing and
encouraging methods for the disposal of solid waste which are environmentally sound and
which maximize the utilization of valuable resources recoverable from solid waste. The
objectives are to be achieved through Federal technical and financial assistance to states and
regional authorities for comprehensive planning (42 USC 6941).
2. The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, as amended
This Act requires that Federal facilities comply with all Federal, state, interstate, and local
requirements concerning the disposal and management of solid wastes. These requirements
include permitting, licensing, and reporting.
3. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
The general purpose of this Act is to assure, as much as possible, every individual working in
the United States sale and healthful working conditions. The control of medical waste is one
aspect of assuring safe and healthy working conditions.
4. Executive Order (EO) 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards
This EO, dated 13 October 1978, requires Federally owned and operated facilities to comply
with applicable Federal, state, and local pollution control standards. It makes the head of
each executive agency responsible for seeing to it that the agencies, facilities, programs, and
activities the agency funds meet applicable Federal, state, and local environmental
requirements or to correct situations that are not in compliance with such requirements. In
addition, the EO requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental
compliance are included in the agency budget
Phase 1 - Section 3
Nonhazardous Waste Management
3-1
-------
5. EO 12873, Federal Agency Recycling and the Council on Federal Recycling and
Procurement Policy
This EO, dated 31 October 1991, requires Federal agencies to promote cost-effective waste
reduction and recycling of reusable materials from wastes generated at their activities. Federal
agencies are required to initiate a program to promote cost-effective waste reduction through:
1) practices that reduce waste generation, and 2) the recycling of materials such as paper,
plastic metals, glass, used oil, lead acid batteries, and tires and the composting of organic
materials such as yard waste.
C. State/Local Regulations
The Federal government set minimum national standards for municipal solid waste landfilling
in 40 CFR Part 258, but state and local governments are responsible for implementing and
enforcing waste programs. States are required to develop their own programs based on the
federal regulations. Most states and municipalities have already developed their own
regulations governing the permitting, licensing, and operations of landfills, incinerators, and
source separation/recycling programs.
States are required to incorporate revised criteria for municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLF)
into their permit programs and gain approval from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA). States that apply for and receive USEPA approval of their programs have the
opportunity to provide a lot of flexibility in implementing the regulations. This flexibility
allows states to take local conditions into account and gives them the authority to alter some
of the requirements. Evaluators will need to determine if a state has been granted approval for
the 40 CFR Part 258 Program in order to accurately assess compliance with the criteria. Many
states have also instigated categories of special wastes which cannot be placed in landfills or
dumps, or may only be disposed of under specific circumstances.
D. Key Compliance Requirements
1. Storage/Collection
Facilities are required to store all solid wastes and materials separated for recycling so that it
does not cause a fire, safety, or health hazard. All facilities are required to operate their
collection systems in a manner to protect the health and safety of personnel associated with
the operation. All collection equipment is required to have a suitable cover to prevent
spillage, and the equipment is constructed, operated, and maintained adequately. All facilities
are required to collect solid wastes or materials separated for recycling, according to a certain
schedule, and in a safe, efficient manner (40 CFR 243.200-1, 243.2011, 243.202-1 (a) through
243.202-l(c), 243.203-1, 243.204-1).
Phase 1 - Section 3
Nonhazardous Waste Management
3-2
-------
2. Solid Waste Containers
Facility personnel should be periodically informed about materials that are prohibited from
disposal in solid waste receptacles (MP).
3. Recycling
Facilities should establish a program to implement state or local recycling requirements and
reduce the volume of solid waste materials at the source whenever practical. Facilities with
offices of over 100 office workers are required to recover high-grade paper. Facilities at
which more than 500 families reside are required to recycle newspapers. Any facility
generating 10 tons [10,160.5 kg] or more of waste corrugated containers per month is
required to segregate or collect them separately for recycling or alternate energy use (40 CFR
246.200-1 and 246.202-1).
4. Specific Wastes
Bulky wastes must be disposed of according to certain methods, which differ depending on
the variety of waste (i.e., automobile bodies, furniture and appliances) are required to be
salvaged, or crushed and pushed onto working face near the bottom of the cell. Water
treatment plant sludges, containing no free moisture, and digested or heat treated wastewater
treatment plant sludges must be disposed of by covering them with soil or municipal solid
wastes. Incinerator and air pollution control residues must be disposed of by covering them as
necessary to prevent their becoming airborne (40 CFR 241.200-3).
5. Land Disposal Site Operations other than a MSWLF
Facilities are required to place cover material over landfilled waste at the end of each
operating day. Land disposal sites that accept special wastes must have approval from the
responsible agency. Facilities that operate land disposal sites are required to provide a list of
excluded materials to regular users, to operate the sites in a manner that will protect water
quality and air quality, and control decomposition gases and vectors. Land disposal sites are
required to be designed and operated in an aesthetically acceptable manner, and to be
designed, constructed and operated to protect the health and safety of personnel. Land
disposal site cover material is required to minimize fire hazards, infiltration of precipitation,
odors and litter, control gas venting and vectors, discourage scavenging, and provide a
pleasing appearance. Municipal solid waste and cover material must be compacted to the
smallest practicable volume. The operators of land disposal sites are required to maintain
records and monitoring data (40 CFR 241.200-3(a), 241.201-2, 241.201-3, 241.204-3,
241.205-3 241.206-241.211, and 241.212-3(a)).
6. Land Disposal Site Closure other than a MSWLF
Upon closure of a site, a detailed description is required to be recorded with the area's land
recording authority (40 CFR 241.212-3(b)).

-------
7. New Landfills other than MSWLFs
New landfills are required to meet certain location and design criteria, which include
evaluation of hydrogeology and onsite soil characteristics, and verification of easy access to
vehicles. Plans for the design, construction, and operation of new sites or modification to
existing sites are required to be prepared or approved by a professional engineer (40 CFR
241.202-2 and 40 CFR 241.203-1).
8., Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (MSWLF)
MSWLFs must meet restrictions for location, the types of waste to be placed in them, and the
types of monitoring required. Limitations, design criteria and closure requirements vary
depending on whether it is a new or existing MSWLF (40 CFR 258).
9. Thermal Processing Facilities
Facilities that are designed to process or are processing SO tons [45,359.24 kg] or more per
day of municipal solid wastes must be operated in a manner that prevents water and/or air
contamination. Additionally there must be an operating plan that specifies procedures and
precautions to be taken if unacceptable wastes are delivered to or left at the thermal
processing facility. The residue and solid waste resulting from the thermal processing must
be disposed of in a manner that prevent environmental damage (40 CFR 240).
i
10. Resource Recovery Facilities
Resource recovery facilities have to be designed to process at least 65 percent by wet weight
of the input solid waste to recycled material, fuel or energy (40 CFR 245).
11. Medical Waste
Contaminated reusable sharps and other regulated wastes are required to be placed in puncture
resistant, color coded, leakproof containers, as soon as possible after use until properly
reprocessed. Specimens of blood or other potentially infectious material are required to be
placed in a container that prevents leakage during collection, handling, processing, storage,
transport, or shipping and specific labeling and handling requirements are followed (29 CFR
1910.1030(d)).
12. Medical Waste Containers
All bins, cans, and other receptacles intended for reuse that have the likelihood of becoming
contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious materials are required to be inspected
and decontaminated on a regularly scheduled basis. Labels affixed to containers of regulated
wastes, refrigerators and freezers containing blood, and other containers used to store,
transport, or ship blood or other potentially infectious materials must meet specific standards,
which include the biohazard symbol, and being colored a fluorescent orange with contrasting-
colored lettering and symbols (29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(ii)(c) and 1910.1030(g)(l)(i)).

-------
A. Applicability
This section applies to facilities that generate, store, transport, treat, or dispose of hazardous
waste. This section and its associated checklists are more complex than other sections in this
volume. Not all checklist items will be applicable to a facility. Guidance is provided on the
checklists to direct the assessor to the regulations concerning the type of hazardous waste
activities/facilities on the facility. Information on hazardous waste storage tanks is in the
section titled Storage Tank Management.
Assessors are required to review agency, federal, state and local regulations in order to
perform a comprehensive assessment.
B. Federal Legislation
1. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Subtitle C, (1976).
Public Law (PL) 98616; 42 U.S. Code (USC) 6921-6939b, establishes standards and
procedures for the handling,, storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste. Specifically,
RCRA prohibits the placement of bulk or noncontainerized liquid hazardous waste or free
liquids containing hazardous waste into a landfill. It also prohibits the land disposal of
specified wastes and disposal of hazardous waste through underground injection within 1/4 mi
[0.40 km] of an underground source of drinking water.
The law also provides for the management of used oil. Under RCRA, used oil is not a listed
hazardous waste, but regulations promulgated under RCRA (40 CFR 279) establish
management standards for used oil generators, collection center aggregation points,
transporters, transporter facilities, used oil processors, rerefmerys, used oil burners who burn
off-specification used oil for energy recovery, used oil fuel marketers, and for use and
disposal of used oil used as a dust suppressant.
2. The Federal Facility Compliance Act (FFCA) of 1992.
This act provides for a waiver of sovereign immunity with respect to federal, state, and local
procedural and substantive requirements relating to RCRA solid and hazardous waste laws
and regulations. Additionally, it defines hazardous waste in relation to public vessels, expands
the definition of mixed waste, addresses the issue of munitions, and discusses waste
discharges to federally owned treatment works (FOTWs).
3. Executive Order (EO) 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards.
This EO, dated 13 October 1978, requires Federally owned and operated facilities to comply
with applicable Federal, state, and local pollution control standards. It makes the head of
each executive agency responsible for seeing to it that the agencies, facilities, programs, and
activities the agency funds meet applicable Federal, state, and local environmental
requirements and for correcting situations that are not in compliance with such requirements.
In addition, the EO requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental
compliance are included in the agency budget.
Phase 1 - Section 4
Hazardous Waste Management
4-1
-------
C. State/Local Regulations
Many states have met the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requirements in
40 CFR 271 and have been authorized to manage their own state programs. RCRA
encourages states to develop their own hazardous waste statutes and to operate regulatory
programs. Many states have adopted the USEPA regulations by reference or have
promulgated regulations which are identical to the USEPA regulations, while other states have
promulgated regulations stricter than the Federal RCRA. These differences between individual
state regulations and the Federal program require that assessors check the status of the state's
authorization and then determine which regulations apply. For example, some states have
listed additional waste as hazardous waste (used oil, PCBs, asbestos). Since the section
checklists are based exclusively on the requirements of the Federal RCRA/USEPA program, it
is necessary to determine in what ways the applicable state program differs from the
RCRA/USEPA program.
D. Key Compliance Requirements
1. Generator Requirements
Responsibilities of facilities are based on the amount of waste being generated in 1 month.
Typical wastes include solvents, paint, contaminated antifreeze or oil, and sludges. In some
states, waste oil and other substances have been classified as a hazardous waste and therefore
need to be included in the total amount of waste being generated. Within Federal regulations
there are three classifications:
a. A Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) produces no more than 100
kg [220.46 Ib] of hazardous waste or 1 kg [2.20 Ib] of acutely hazardous waste in a 1 mo
time period. They also do not accumulate onsite more than 1000 kg [2204.62 Ib] of waste
at any one time. When either the volume of waste produced in one month exceeds 100
kg [220.46 Ib] or more than 1000 kg [2204.62 Ib] of waste has accumulated onsite, the
facility is required to comply with the more stringent standards applicable to a Small
Quantity Generator (SQG);
b. A SQG produces between 100 [220.46 Ib] and 1000 kg [2204.62 Ib] of hazardous waste
in a month. The waste cannot accumulate onsite for more than 180 days unless the waste
is transported more than 200 mi [321.87 km] to a treatment, storage and disposal facility
(TSDF). In that situation, the waste can accumulate for 270 days. But at no time is there
to be more than 6000 kg [13,227.73 Ib] of waste accumulated at the facility. When the
volume of waste generated in 1 month exceeds 1000kg (2204.62 Ib) of nonacutely
hazardous waste or 1kg (2.20 Ib) of acute hazardous waste or the accumulation time
onsite is exceeded, the facility is required to comply with the standards for a Generator.
When more than 6000kg (13,227.73 Ib) of waste is stored onsite, the SQG is required to
obtain a permit and comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 264 and 40 CFR 265;
Phase 1 - Section 4
Hazardous Waste Management
4-2
-------
c. A Generator produces more than 1000 kg [2204.62 Ib] of hazardous waste in a month.
(NOTE: Using water, which weighs approximately 8 Ibs/gal [3.63 kg/gal] as a basis of
measurement, 100 kg [220.46 Ib] would equal about 28 gal [105.99 L] (one-half of a 55
gal [208.20 L] drum), 1000 kg [2204.62 Ib] would equal about 273 gal [1036.15 L]
(almost five 55 gal [208.20 L] drums).
Whether the facility is a CESQG, SQG, or a Generator determines the type of records the
facility is required to keep and design standards for storage areas. Storage areas connected
with a generation points are often referred to as accumulation points. Regardless of the
amount of hazardous waste generated, every facility is required to test or use knowledge of
materials or processes used to determine if it is a listed hazardous waste or has hazardous
characteristics.

Hazardous Waste Management

-------
2. Transport Requirements
Containers of hazardous waste shipped offsite must be labeled to identify the waste and its
hazard class.
3. Accumulation Point Management
An accumulation point is an area in or near the workplace where hazardous waste is
accumulated or stored before being turned in for disposal. Storage in these areas is temporary
and the permissible length of time for accumulation depends on what size generator the
facility is.
4. Satellite Accumulation Point Management
A satellite accumulation point is an area where no more than 55 gal [208.20 L] of a
hazardous waste or 1 qt [0.95 L] of acute hazardous waste is accumulated at or near the point
of generation. The satellite accumulation point is under the control of one operator. When the
55 gal [208.20 L] limit is reached the operator has 3 days to move the waste to a 90 day
storage area or a permitted TSDF. These standards only apply to a SQG or a Generator.
5. Permitted TSDF Requirements
The operation of a TSDF is subject to regulation and permitting under Federal and state
regulations. These regulations are both administrative as well as technical in nature. The
administrative standards require that various plans be developed to ensure that emergencies
can be dealt with, waste received is properly identified, and operating personnel are
adequately trained to operate the TSDF and respond to emergencies. These administrative
standards also include requirements that the TSDF be inspected routinely, records of
operations are compiled and maintained, and reports of both routine and contingency
operations are made to the applicable regulatory agency. The administrative standards also
require that a plan for ceasing operations and closing the TSDF be developed, kept on-hand,
and updated frequently.
The technical standards which are applicable to TSDFs fall into two classes: general standards
which apply to all TSDFs and specific standards which apply to various types of facilities,
e.g., container storage areas, tanks, containment buildings, surface impoundments, waste piles,
land treatment facilities, incinerators, landfills, thermal treatment facilities, and chemical,
physical, biological treatment facilities.
Administrative and technical standards are applied to a particular facility through a RCRA
permit issued to a facility. Existing TSDFs which have applied for a permit but not yet been
issued a RCRA permit are considered to be in interim status if they applied for a part A and
part B permit and can continue to operate if they comply with the RCRA mandated Interim
Status Standards (ISS) of 40 CFR 265 (Interim status standards for owners and operators of
hazardous waste TSDF).

6. Waste Minimization/Pollution Prevention
Waste minimization and pollution prevention programs are being increasingly discussed and
implemented by both environmental managers and environmental policy makers. Usually
defined as a reduction in the volume and toxicity of waste, waste minimization often pays for
itself through reduced environmental costs, operating costs, and liability. While these cost
savings are often enough to justify a program, there are an increasing number of voluntary
and mandatory programs that drive waste minimization/pollution prevention.
Under RCRA, large quantity generators are required to sign a certification on each manifest
stating that they have a program in place to reduce waste to the degree that is economically
feasible and select a disposal method that minimizes threats to human health and the
environment. Small quantity generators must show a "good faith effort" to minimize waste
and to select the best waste management method available.
EPA has also developed nonbinding guidelines on a waste minimization program for
generators. Issued in 58 FR 31114 on May 28, 1993, the "Interim Final Guidance to
Hazardous Waste Generators on the Elements of a Waste Minimization Program" is intended
to provide nonbinding, and nonenforceable guidance to generators of regulated hazardous
wastes. The program includes:
• Provisions for top management assurance that waste minimization is a company-wide
effort;
• Characterization of waste generation and waste management costs;
• Periodic waste minimization assessments;
• A cost allocation system;
• Encourages technology transfer; and
• Includes program implementation and evaluation.
7. Ordnance
Under the provisions of 40 CFR 261.23(a)(6) through 261.23(a)(8) ordnance is classified as a
reactive hazardous waste. The open burning and detonation (OB/OD) of waste explosives is
allowed at interim status TSDFs as long as a minimum distance is kept from the property line
of the property of others. The length of this distance is based on the amount of explosive
being OB/OD. For permitted TSDFs, OB/OD activities are regulated by permit to operate a
miscellaneous unit. This is often referred to as a Subpart X permit.

containment buildings that are
in compliance are not subject
to the definition of land
disposal if specific
requirements are met (40 CFR
264.1100 and 40 CFR
265.1100).

constructed of manmade materials of sufficient strength and thickness to support
themselves, the waste contents, and any personnel and heavy equipment that
operate within the unit
- it is designed to prevent failure due to pressure gradients, settlement, compression,
or uplift, physical contact with the hazardous wastes, climatic conditions, and the
stress of daily operations
• it has a primary barrier that is designed to be sufficiently durable to withstand the
movement of personnel, wastes, ard handling of equipment within the unit
- if the unit is used to manage liquids:
- there is a primary barrier designed and constructed of materials to prevent
migration of hazardous constituents into the barrier
• there is a liquid collection system designed and constructed of materials to
minimize the accumulation of liquid on the primary barrier

includes practical methods for reducing the volume of hazardous wates generated.
Determine whether any or all of the following methods suggested by EPA are
incorporated into the program:
- the generator retains information which documents waste minimization activities.
- the program includes:
- provisions for top management assurance that waste minimization is a
company-wide effort
- characterization of waste generation and waste management costs
• periodic waste minimization assessments
• a cost allocation system
- encourages technology transfer
- includes program implementation and evaluation
- waste minimization employee awareness plans
• adequate funding
• clearly delineated roles both within DOE and among each contractor generating
waste.
- conclude if facility actions are resulting in the reduction of hazardous wastes.

-------
A. Applicability
This section addresses facilities where hazardous substances were released or pose a
substantial threat of a release. This section focusses on two main areas:
1. Property transfer considerations for property that may have stored or released hazardous
substances; and
2. Spill and release reporting.
Assessors are required to review agency, federal, state and local regulations in order to
perform a comprehensive assessment.
B. Federal Legislation
1. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980
This Act, Public Law (PL) 96-510 (42 U.S. Code (USC) 9601 et seq), as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 (PL 99-499), provides for
liability, compensation, cleanup, and emergency response for hazardous substances released '
into the environment and cleanup of inactive hazardous waste disposal sites. CERCLA,
commonly known as "Superfund," established a fund which is financed by hazardous
substance generators and is used to financially support cleanup and response actions of
abandoned hazardous waste sites when no financially responsible party(ies) can be found.
Parties responsible for the contamination of hazardous waste sites are liable for all costs
incurred in the cleanup and remediation process. The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has generated and periodically updates a list of sites requiring cleanup under CERCLA,
known as the National Priorities List (NPL). Although federal agency hazardous waste sites
may be listed on the NPL, no federal facilities are eligible to receive financial assistance from
the Superfund program.
C. State/Local Regulations
State and local municipalities may establish release reporting requirements that are more
stringent than those under CERCLA.
D. Key Compliance Requirements
1. Hazardous Substance Release Reporting
Under CERCLA Section 103, facilities are required to notify the National Response Center
(NRC) immediately if it releases hazardous substances in excess of or equal to reportable
quantities. Facilities with continuous and stable releases have limited notification requirements
(40 CFR 302.1 through 302.6, and 302.8).
Phase 1 - Section 5
CERCLA/SARA
5-1
-------
2. National Contingency Plan (NCP)
Section 104(a) of CERCLA requires that whenever there is a release or the substantial threat
of a release of any pollutant or contaminant to the environment or which may present an
imminent and substantial danger to the public health or welfare, the President is authorized to
respond in a manner consistent with the National Contingency Plan (NCP). The NCP outlines
procedures and standards for the cleanup of releases and hazardous waste sites and establishes
the framework for site evaluations, remedial investigations/feasibility studies, remedial
selection and design, removal actions, community relations, and administrative records. The
NCP requires that the cleanup is to be conducted by the "lead agency" (the definition of
which is under 40 CFR 300.5). Under the NCP, the lead agency'is responsible for conducting
the following activities as they apply to the hazardous waste site's situation.
3. Site Evaluation
If a release has or may have occurred, the first step required is a site evaluation, the goal of
which is to collect data and evaluate releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants to determine the extent of the release and the release's impact to public health
and the environment.
40 CFR 300.420 promulgates the regulations which outline the requirements for a site
evaluation. A site evaluation is required to consist of the following three components:
• A preliminary assessment (PA) which is a review of existing site information and an off-
site reconnaissance, if appropriate, to determine if a release may require further
investigations or removal actions;
• A site inspection (SI) which is an on-site investigation to determine whether a release has
occurred, to identify the preliminary public health and environmental threats associated
with the release, and it includes, as appropriate, both on- and off-site field sampling and
analysis; and
• A review to determine if the site should be included on the National Priorities List
(NPL).
If it is determined that the site will need remediation actions, then the lead agency is required
to institute a remedial investigation/feasibility study, unless the release "may present an
imminent and substantial danger to public health, welfare or the environment," in which case
the facility must conduct an immediate removal action.
4. Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS)
If the site is required to institute remediation actions, then the first required step is a remedial
investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) intended to assess site conditions and evaluate remedial
alternatives to the extent necessary to select a site remedy. The regulations promulgated under
CERCLA that apply to RI/FSs are in 40 CFR 300.430(a)-(e) and require that an RI/FS consist
of the following four steps.
Phase 1 - Section 5
CERCLA/SARA
5-2
-------
• Project Scoping which is a plan developed by the facility for conducting an RI/FS such
that the detail of analysis is appropriate to the complexity of the release site problems
being addressed;
• A Remedial Investigation which is the collection of the necessary field data to adequately
characterize the release site in order to assist in developing and evaluating remedial
alternatives;
• A Risk Assessment which, as a component of the RI, should characterize the current and
potential threats to human health and the environment that may be posed by contact to
environmental media; and
• A Feasibility Study which is a study done to ensure that appropriate remedial alternatives
are developed and evaluated.
Following the completion of the RI/FS, a report must be issued and given a period for public
comment (to be discussed further in 'Community Relations') and then the lead agency must
enter in to the remedy selection and design process.
5. Remedial Selection and Design
The regulations related to the selection and design of a remedy are promulgated in 40 CFR
300.430(f) and describe the required process. The lead agency must select, in conjunction .
with the lead regulatory agency, a preferred proposed alternative for remediation which can be
presented to the public (and state) for their review and comment. The public comments must
be considered before the lead agency can issue a final remedial design/remedial action
(RD/RA). Upon receiving new information from the public or regulatory agencies, the lead
agency should reassess its initial remedial alternative determination. The public comments
may prompt the lead agency to modify aspects of their preferred alternative or cause the lead
agency to select a different alternative. The lead agency and the lead regulatory agency will
make the final remedy selection decision and they will document that decision in the Record
of Decision (ROD).
6. Removal Actions
If at any point during the remediation process, a determination has been made that there is a
imminent threat to public health welfare, or the environment, the lead agency is required by
CERCLA to take an appropriate removal action to abate, prevent, minimize, stabilize,
mitigate, or eliminate the release or threat of release. The promulgation of this rule in 40 CFR
300.410 requires that when the determination that a removal action is appropriate has been
made, the following steps should be undertaken as promptly as possible:
• A removal preliminary assessment which includes the collection or review of readily
available information such as site management practices, information from waste
generator, document review, and facility interviews;
Phase 1 - Section 5
CERCLA/SARA
5-3
-------
• A removal site inspection, if necessary, to gather information that was not obtained
during the removal preliminary assessment; and
• A removal action which is performed in response to a specific release.
The individual facilities will have the latitude to respond as necessary to ensure the
minimization of harm to public health, welfare, or the environment.
7. Community Relations
Section 117 of CERCLA requires (through 40 CFR 300.430 and 300.435) that the lead
agency conduct various community relations (CR) activities throughout the inactive waste site
evaluation process. The intention is to promote active communication between communities
affected by the release site and the facility's response for implementing remedial actions. CR
activities must be undertaken in the RI/FS, RD/RA, and removal actions processes and must
include interviewing community interest groups, developing a community relations plan
(CRP), and completing various regulatory notification requirements. The CRP is designed to
ensure that the public has been provided the appropriate opportunity to become involved in
site-related decision making; to identify the appropriate activities for ensuring such public
involvement; and to provide the appropriate opportunity for the community to learn about the
release site.
8. Administrative Record
Section 133(k) of CERCLA requires the establishment and maintenance of an administrative
record which contains all documents containing information used to select response actions,
information on the RI/FS and RD/RA processes, the Record of Decision (ROD) and all public
comments received. There are specific requirements in CERCLA that are promulgated in 40
CFR 300.800-300.805 which require the administrative record to be maintained at a central
location near the release site and that it must be easily accessible to community interest
groups.
9. Property Transfer
Under section 120(h) of CERCLA, whenever an agency for the United States enters into
contracts for the sale or other transfer of real estate which is owned by the United States, on
which hazardous substances were stored for one year or more, known to have been released,
or disposed of during the time the property was owned by the United States, the contract must
include notice of the type and quantity of such hazardous substance and the time at which
such activities took place. These rules are promulgated in 40 CFR 373 and the notifications
are required for property transfers that occurred after October 16, 1990. The hazardous
substance storage requirement only applies when quantities are or have been stored greater
than or equal to 1,000 kilograms or the CERCLA reportable quantity, whichever is greater.
Hazardous substances that are listed as acutely hazardous wastes (40 CFR 261.30), and that
Phase 1 • Section 5
CERCLA/SARA
5-4
-------
are stored for one year or more, are subject to the contract notice requirement when stored in
quantities greater than or equal to one kilogram. The release of hazardous substances applies
only when quantities greater than or equal to the substance's CERCLA reportable quantity
exist.
E. Key Compliance Definitions
1. CERCLIS
The abbreviation of the CERCLA Information System, EPA's comprehensive data base and
management system that inventories and tracks releases addressed or needing to be addressed
by the Superfund program. CERCLIS contains the official inventory of CERCLA sites and
supports EPA's site planning and tracking functions. Sites that EPA decides do not warrant
moving further in the site evaluation process are given a "No Further Response Action
Planned" (NFRAP) designation in CERCLIS. This means that no additional federal steps
under CERCLA will be taken at the site unless future information so warrants. Sites are not
removed from the data base after completion of evaluations in order to document that these
evaluations took place and to preclude the possibility that they be needlessly repeated.
Inclusion of a specific site or area in CERCLIS data base does not represent a determination
of any party's liability, nor does it represent a finding that any response action is necessary.
Sites that are deleted from the NPL are not designated NFRAP sites. Deleted sites are listed
in a separate category in the CERCLIS data base (40 CFR 300.5).
2. Community Relations Coordinator
Lead agency staff who work with the OSC/RPM to involve and inform the public about the
Superfund process and response actions in accordance with the interactive community
relations requirements set forth in the NCP (40 CFR 300.5).
3. Environment
As. defined by section 101(8) of CERCLA, environment means the navigable waters, the
waters of the contiguous zone, and the ocean waters of which the natural resources are under
the exclusive management authority of the United States under the Magnuson Fishery
Conservation and Management Act; and any other surface water, ground water, drinking
water supply, land surface or subsurface strata, or ambient air within the United States or
under the jurisdiction of the United States (40 CFR 300.5).
4. Facility
As defined by section 101(9) of CERCLA, facility means any building, structure, installation,
equipment, pipe or pipeline (including any pipe into a sewer or publicly owned treatment
works), well, pit, pond, lagoon, impoundment, ditch, landfill, storage container, motor vehicle,
rolling stock, or aircraft, or any site or area, where a hazardous substance has been deposited,
stored, disposed of, or placed, or otherwise come to be located; but does not include any
consumer product in consumer use or any vessel (40 CFR 300.5).
Phase 1 - Section 5
CERCLA/SARA
5-5
-------
5. Feasibility Study (FS)
A study undertaken by the lead agency to develop and evaluate options for remedial action.
The FS emphasizes data analysis and is generally performed concurrently and in an
interactive fashion with the remedial investigation (RI), using data gathered during the RI.
The RI data are used to define the objectives of the response action, to develop remedial
action alternatives, and to undertake an initial screening and detailed analysis of the
alternatives. The term also refers to a report that describes the results of the study (40 CFR
300.5).
6. Hazard Ranking System (HRS)
The method used by EPA to evaluate the relative potential of hazardous substance releases to
cause health or safety problems, or ecological or environmental damage (40 CFR 300.5).
7. Hazardous Substance
As defined by section 101(4) of CERCLA, hazardous substance means: Any substance
designated pursuant to section 31 l(b)(2)(A) of the CWA; any element, compound mixture,
solution, or substance designated pursuant to section 102 of CERCLA; any hazardous waste
having the characteristics identified under or listed pursuant to section 3001 of the Solid
Waste Disposal Act (but not including any waste the regulation of which under the Solid
Waste Disposal Act has been suspended by Act of Congress); any toxic pollutant listed under,
section 307(a) of the CWA; any hazardous air pollutant listed under section 112 of the Clean
Air Act: and any imminently hazardous chemical substance or mixture with respect to which
the EPA Administrator has taken action pursuant to section 7 of the Toxic Substances Control
Act. The term does not include petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof which
is not otherwise specifically listed or designated as a hazardous substance in the first sentence
of this paragraph, and the term does not include natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied
natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas
(40 CFR 300.5).
8. Lead Agency
The agency that provides the OSC/RPM to plan and implement response action under the
NCP, EPA, the USCG, another federal agency, or a state (or political subdivision of a state)
operating pursuant to a contract or cooperative agreement executed pursuant to section
104(d)(l) of CERCLA, or designated pursuant to a Superfund Memorandum of Agreement
(SMOA) entered into pursuant to subpart F of the NCP or other agreements may be the lead
agency for a response action. In the case of a release of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant, where the release is on, or the sole source of the release is from, any facility or
vessel under the jurisdiction, custody, or control of Department of Defense (DOD) or
Department of Energy (DOE), then DOD or DOE will be the lead agency. Where the release
is on, or the sole source of the release is from, any facility or vessel under the jurisdiction,
custody, or control of a federal agency other than EPA, the USCG, DOD or DOE, then that
agency will be the lead agency for remedial actions and removal actions other than
emergencies.
Phase 1 - Section 5
CERCLA/SARA
5-6
-------
The federal agency maintains its lead agency responsibilities whether the remedy is selected
by the federal agency for non-NPL sites or by EPA and the federal agency or by EPA alone
under CERCLA section 120. The lead agency will consult with the support agency, if one
exists, throughout the response process (40 CFR 300.5).
9. Management Practice (MP)
Practices that, although not mandated by law, are encouraged to promote safe operating
procedures.
10. National Priorities List (NPL)
The list, compiled by EPA pursuant to CERCLA section 105, of uncontrolled hazardous
substance releases in the United States that are priorities for long-term remedial evaluation
and response (40 CFR 300.5).
11. Person
An individual, firm, corporation, association, partnership, consortium, joint venture,
commercial entity, United States Government, State municipality, commission, political
subdivision of a State, or any interstate body (40 CFR 300.5 and 302.3).
12. Pollutant or Contaminant
As defined by section 101(33) or CERCLA, pollutant or contaminant includes, but not be
limited to, any element, substance, compound, or mixture, including disease-causing agents,
which after release into the environment and upon exposure, ingestion, inhalation, or
assimilation into any organism, either directly from the environment or indirectly by ingestion
through food chains, will or may reasonably be anticipated to cause death, disease, behavioral
abnormalities, cancer, genetic mutation, physiological malfunctions (including malfunctions in
reproduction) or physical deformations, in such organisms or their offspring. The term does
not include petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof which is not otherwise
specifically listed or designated as a hazardous substance under section 101(4)(A) through (F)
of CERCLA, nor does it include natural gas of pipeline quality (or mixtures of natural gas
and such synthetic gas). For purposes of the NCP, the term pollutant or contaminant means
any pollutant or contaminant that may present an imminent and substantial danger to public
health or welfare (40 CFR 300.5).
13. Preliminary Assessment (PA)
Review of existing information and an off-site reconnaissance, if appropriate, to determine if
a release may require additional investigation or action. A PA may include an on-site
reconnaissance, if appropriate (40 CFR 300.5).
14. Release
As defined by section 101(22) of CERCLA, release means any spilling, leaking, pumping,
pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing
into the environment (including the abandonment or discarding of barrels, containers, and
other closed receptacles containing any hazardous substance or pollutant or contaminant), but
Phase 1 - Section 5
CERCLA/SARA
i
5-7
-------
excludes: Any release which results in exposure to persons solely within a workplace, with
respect to a claim which such persons may assert against the employer of such persons;
emissions from the engine exhaust of a motor vehicle, rolling stock, aircraft, vessel, or
pipeline pumping station engine; release of source byproduct, or special nuclear material from
a nuclear incident, as those terms are defined in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, if such
release is subject to requirements with respect to financial protection established by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission under section 170 of such Act, or, for the purposes of
section 104 of CERCLA or any other response action, any release of source, byproduct, or
special nuclear materials from any processing site designated under section 102(a)(l) or
302(a) of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978; and the normal
application of fertilizer. For purposes of the NCP, release also means threat of release (40
CFR 300.5 and 302.3).
15. Relevant and Appropriate Requirements
Those cleanup standards, standards of control, and other substantive requirements, criteria, or
limitations promulgated under federal environmental or state environmental or facility siting
laws that, while not "applicable" to a hazardous substance, pollutant, contaminant, remedial
action, location, or other circumstance at a CERCLA site, address problems or situations
sufficiently similar to those encountered at the CERCLA site that their use is well suited to
the particular site. Only those state standards that are identified in a timely manner and are
more stringent than federal requirements may be relevant and appropriate (40 CFR 300.5).
16. Remedial Design (RD)
The technical analysis and procedures which follow the selection of remedy for a site and
result in a detailed set of plans and specifications for implementation of the remedial actions
(40 CFR 300.5).
17. Remedial Investigation (Rl)
A process undertaken by the lead agency to determine the nature and extent of the problem
presented by the release. The RI emphasizes data collection and site characterization, and is
generally performed concurrently and in an interactive fashion with the feasibility study. The
RI includes sampling and monitoring, as necessary, and includes the gathering of sufficient
information to determine the necessity for remedial action and to support the evaluation of
remedial alternatives (40 CFR 300.5).
18. Remedy or Remedial Action (RA)
Those actions consistent with permanent remedy taken instead of , or in addition to , removal
action in the event of a release or threatened release of a hazardous substance into the
environment, to prevent or minimize the release of hazardous substances so that they do not
migrate to cause substantial danger to present or future public health or welfare or the
environment.
Phase 1 - Section 5
CERCLA/SARA
5-8
-------
The term includes, but is not limited to, such actions at the location of the release as storage,
confinement, perimeter protection suing dikes, trenches, or ditches, clay cover, neutralization,
cleanup of released hazardous substances and associated contaminated materials, recycling or
reuse diversion, destruction, segregation of reactive wastes, dredging or excavations, repair or
replacement of leaking containers, collection of leachate and run-off, on-site treatment or
incineration, provision of alternative water supplies, any monitoring reasonably required to
assure that such actions protect the public health and welfare and the environment and, where
appropriate, post-removal site control activities. The term includes the costs of permanent
relocation of residents and businesses and community facilities (including the cost of
providing "alternative land of equivalent value" to an Indian tribe pursuant to CERCLA
section 126(b)) where EPA determines that, alone or in combination with other measures,
such relocation is more cost-effective than, and environmentally preferable to, the
transportation, storage, treatment, destruction, or secure disposition off-site of such hazardous
substances, or may otherwise be necessary to protect the public health or welfare; the term
includes off-site transport and off-site storage, treatment, destruction, or secure disposition of
hazardous substances and associated contaminated materials. For the purpose of the NCP, the
term also includes enforcement activities related thereto (40 CFR 300.5).
19. Remove or Removal
As defined by section 311(a)(8) of the CWA, refers to removal of oil or hazardous substances
from the water and shorelines or the taking of such other actions as may be necessary to
minimize or mitigate damage to the public health or welfare or to the environment. As
defined by section 101(23) of CERCLA, remove or removal of released hazardous substances
from the environment; such actions as may be necessary taken in the event of the threat of
release of hazardous substances into the environment; such actions as may be necessary to
monitor, assess, and evaluate the release or threat of release of hazardous substances; the
disposal of removed material; or the taking of such other actions as may be necessary to
prevent, minimize, or mitigate damage to the public health or welfare or the environment,
which may otherwise result from a release or threat of release. The term includes, in
addition, without being limited to, security fencing or other measures to limit access,
provision of alternative water supplies, temporary evacuation and housing of threatened

Site Evaluation
C.8. When a facility
experiences a hazardous
substance release to the
environment, an evaluation of
the release site must be
performed to determine the
extent of the release and the
release's impact to public health
and the environment. A site
evaluation typically contains the
following three components (40
CFR 300.420):
a. A preliminary assessment
(PA) which is a review of
existing site information and
an off-site reconnaissance, if
appropriate, to determine if a
release may require further
investigations or removal
actions. Typically, when
performing a PA, facility
documents are reviewed and
field sampling is not
conducted.
b. A site inspection (SI) which
is an on-site investigation to
determine whether a release
has occurred and to identify
the preliminary public health
and environmental threats
associated with the release.
The SI typically builds upon
the information collected
during the PA. Furthermore,
the SI involves, as
appropriate, both on- and off-
site field sampling and
analysis.
c. A review to determine if the
site should be included on
the National Priorities List
(NPL).
Verify that for all potential inactive waste sites a preliminary assessment (PA) is
conducted that contains at least the following:
- A review of existing information about the release such as:
~ Information on the pathways of exposure,
- Exposure targets; and
-- Source and nature of release.
- On-site reconnaissance.
- Off-site reconnaissance.
When the facility performs a remedial PA, confirm that the facility completes the EPA
Preliminary Assessment form or its equivalent and that it includes the following
information:
- A descnption of the release.
- A description of the probable nature of the release.
- A recommendation on whether further action is warranted, which lead agency
should conduct further action, and whether a site investigation (SI) or removal
action, or both, should be undertaken.
Where the facility has received an interim or final RCRA facility permit, determine
whether the facility has completed a RCRA Facility Assessment (RFA).
For facility site inspections (Sis), verify that prior to conducting any field sampling, $•
facility has developed sampling and analysis plans which consist of the following:
- A field sampling plan.
- A quality assurance project plan (QAPP).
Determine whether the facility has included the following information when preparing
an SI:
- A description/history/nature of waste handling.
- A descnption of known contaminants.
- A description of pathways of migration of contaminants.
- An identification and descnption of human and environmental targets.
- A recommendation on whether further action is warranted.
Determine if the facility determined whether a removal action is appropriate based
upon the information collected during the PA/SI. If so, confirm that the facility initiated
a removal preliminary assessment pursuant to C.12.

C.9. Sites that meet a certain
criteria may be eligible for
placement on the National
Priorities List (NPL) (40 CFR
300.425(c). (d)).
Confirm that the facility has assisted Federal and state agencies in evaluating
whether release sites have met one of the following cnteria:
- The release scores sufficiently high pursuant to the Hazard Ranking System.
(NOTE: The Hazard Ranking System is the method used by EPA to evaluate the
relative potential of hazardous substance releases to cause health or safety
problems, ecological, or environmental damage.)
- The state has designated a release as its highest priority (a state may have only
one highest priority).
- The release satisfies all of the following criteria:
- The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has issued a health
advisory that recommends dissociation of individuals from the release;
-• EPA determines that the release poses a significant threat to public health; and
-- EPA anticipates that it will be more cost-effective to use its remedial authority
than to use removal authority to respond to the release.
(NOTE: The lead agency is responsible for submitting NPL candidates to the EPA by
scoring the release site using the Hazard Ranking Scoring (HRS) model. The EPA is
responsible for reviewing the lead agencies' HRS scoping package and revising them
as appropriate. Finally, the EPA will propose release sites to the NPL after ensunng
appropriate public involvement (40 CFR 300.425(d)).)
If the facility determines that a release is eligible for placement on the NPL, verify that
the facility has submitted the release score (using HRS model) and has provided the
appropriate backup documentation

Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study
C.10. The purpose of the
remedial investigation/feasibility
study (RI/FS) is to assess site
conditions and evaluate
remedial alternatives to the
extent necessary to select a
site remedy. Developing and
implementing an RI/FS
generally includes the following
(40 CFR 300.430):
a. Project Scoping - The facility
should have developed a
plan for conducting an RI/FS
such that the detail of
analysis is appropriate to the
complexity of the release site
problems being addressed.
b. Remedial Investigation - The
purpose of an Rl is to collect
the necessary field data to
adequately characterize the
release site in order to assist
in developing and evaluating
remedial alternatives. Site
characterization may be
conducted in one or more
phases to focus sampling
efforts and to better define
the potential threat to human
health or the environment.
Determine whether the facility has initiated coordination with regulatory agencies to
ensure that both parties have discussed and identified the appropriate sequence
actions necessary to address the release site problems.
Verify that the facility has conducted project scoping to identify the optimal set and
sequence of actions necessary to address the release site problems. Specifically, the
following should be incorporated into the project scope:
- The assembly and evaluation of existing data for the release site, including the
results of any removal actions and PA/SI data.
- The identification of likely response scenarios, potentially applicable technologies,
and operable units that may address site problems.
- The identification of the type, quality, and quantity of the data that will be collected
during the RI/FS.
- The preparation of site-specific health and safety plans that specify, at a minimum,
employee training and protective equipment, medical surveillance requirements,
standard operating procedures, and contingency plan that conforms with 29 CFR
1910.120(l)(1 )and(l)(2).
- The development of a sampling and analysis plan that meets the requirements
outlined in C.8.
- The identification of potential Federal and state applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements (ARARs).
Determine whether the facility has assessed the following factors when conducting an
Rl:
- The physical characteristics of the site (i.e., soils, sediments, geology,
hydrogeology, meteorology, and ecology).
- Characteristics of air, surface water, and ground water.
- The general characteristics of the waste, including quantities, physical state,
concentration, toxicity, ability to bioaccumulate, and mobility.
- The extent to which the source can be adequately identified and characterized (i.e.,
evaluation of the vertical and horizontal extent of contamination).
- Actual and potential exposure routes (i.e., inhalation through air transport and
mgestion through groundwater or bioaccumulation).
- Actual and potential exposure pathways through environmental media.
Phase 1 - Section 5
CERCLA/SARA
5-17
-------
c. Risk Assessment - As a
component of the Rl, the risk
assessment should
characterize the current and
potential threats to human
health and the environment
that may be posed by
contact to environmental
media Typically, the risk
assessment results will assist
in establishing acceptable
exposure levels for use in
developing remedial
alternatives in the FS.
d. Feasibility Study - The
purpose of the FS is to
ensure that appropriate
remedial alternatives are
developed and evaluated.
The development and
evaluation of alternatives
should reflect the scope and
complexity of the remedial
action under consideration
and the release site
problems being addressed.
Verify that the facility in conjunction with regulatory agencies have identified the
potential ARARs for the release site.
For each release site undergoing an Rl, confirm that the facility has conducted a
baseline risk assessment which contains the following:
- A characterization of the current and potential threats to human health and the
environment that may be posed by site contaminants migrating through
environmental media.
- The establishment of acceptable exposure levels for use in developing remedial
alternatives.
Where the facility has received an interim or final RCRA facility permit, determine
whether the facility has completed the following:
- A RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) to evaluate whether releases of hazardous
substances may have occurred from solid waste management units (SWMUs).
Verify that as a part of the FS, the facility has established remedial action objectives
(i.e., acceptable exposure levels that are protective of human health and the
environment) which have been developed by using the following:
- Applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs) under Federal or
state environmental laws.
- Maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs), established under the Safe Drinking
Water Act, or ft it the MCLG is determined not to be relevant, the corresponding
maximum contaminant level (MCL).
- Water quality criteria established under sections 303 or 304 of the Clean Water Act.
- An alternative concentration limit (ACL) established according to CERCLA section
For source control actions, confirm that the facility has developed alternatives tailored
to the release site conditions that employ the following, as appropriate:
- Treatment techniques that reduce toxicity, mobility, or volume of the release site to
the maximum extent feasible, eliminating or minimizing the need for long-term
management.
- One or more alternatives that involve little or no treatment, but provide protection of
human health and the environment primarily by preventing or controlling exposure
to the release site.
- For groundwater response actions, remedial alternatives which attain site-specific
remediation levels within different time periods and using one or more different
technologies.
Phase 1 - Section 5

C.10. continued
Confirm that as a part of an FS, the facility has developed the following:
- One or more innovative treatment technologies for further consideration.
• A no-action alternative or a no further action alternative, if some removal or
remedial action has already occurred at the release site.
Verify that, to the extent possible, the facility has considered the short- and long-term
aspects of the following criteria to guide the development and screening of remedial
alternatives:
- Effectiveness (i.e., minimization of residual risks and short-term impacts, long-term
protection, quickness of protection).
- Implementabiltty (i.e., technical feasibility and availability).
- Cost (i.e., construction, operation, and maintenance).
Determine whether the facility has performed an analysis of a limited number of
remedial alternatives, which have been considered a viable approach to remedial
action, based on the following:
- Overall protection of human health and the environment.
- Compliance with ARARs.
- Long-term effectiveness and permanence.
- Reduction of toxicity, mobility, or volume.
- Short-term effectiveness.
- Implementability.
- Cost.
- State acceptance.
- Community acceptance.
(NOTE: Where the facility has received an interim or final RCRA facility permit,
Federal and state authorities will request that a Corrective Measures Study (CMS) be
performed as part of a Corrective Action Order (CERCLA Section 3008(h)) or
corrective action requirement outlined in a permit application and/or permit (CERCLA
Section 3004(u) and (v)).)

Remedial Selection and Design
C.11. Upon the completion of
the RI/FS, the facility must
select in conjunction with the
regulatory agency a preferred
proposed alternative for
remediation which can be
presented to the public (and
state) for their review and
comment. The public comments
must be considered before the
facility can issue a final
remedial design/remedial action
(RD/RA). Upon receiving new
information from the public or
regulatory agencies, the facility
should reassess its initial
remedial alternative
determination. The public
comments may prompt the
facility to modify aspects of their
preferred alternative or cause
the facility to select a different
alternative. The facility and the
lead regulatory agency will
make the final remedy selection
decision and they will document
that decision in the Record of
Decision (ROD) (40 CFR
300.430(«), 300.435(b). (c). (f)).
When the facility has, in conjunction with the regulatory agency, identified a preferred
proposed remedial action alternative, verify that the proposed plan has been
presented to the public for comment.
Determine whether the proposed plan presented to the public contains the following:
- A brief summary of the alternatives.
- The rationale used to develop the preferred alternative.
- A summary of comments received from regulatory agencies.
- A summary of any proposed waiver from an ARAR.
Verify that the facility conducts the following community relation activities to support
the selection of the remedy:
- Publishes a notice of availability and a brief analysis of the proposed plan in a
major local newspaper.
- Makes the proposed plan and supporting information available in the Administrative
Record.
- Provides for a public comment period of not less than 30 days.
- Provides for a public meeting at or near the facility during the public comment
period.
- Keeps a transcript of the meeting and makes the transcript available to the public.
- Prepares a written summary of significant comments and new information received
during the public comment period.
If any new information is made available which significantly changes the proposed
remedy, confirm that the facility:
- Seeks additional public comment on the revised changes (if the changes could not
reasonably have been anticipated by the public).
- Includes a discussion in the ROD of the changes and the reasons.
- Issues a revised proposed plan which includes a discussion of the significant
changes and reasons.
Determine whether, after a review of the regulatory agency and public comments, the
facility, in conjunction with the regulatory agency, has selected a final remedy and
documented this remedy in a ROD that contains the following information:
- How the selected remedy is protective of human health.
- A description of ARARs that will be met.
- A description of ARARs that will not be met and applicable waivers.
- How the remedy is cost-effective.
- How the remedy uses permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies
to the maximum extent.

Removal Action
C.12. At any release site,
regardless if the site has been
included on the NPL, where the
facility has made the
determination that there is a
threat to public health, welfare,
or the environment, the facility
may take an appropriate
removal action to abate,
prevent, minimize, stabilize,
mitigate, or eliminate the
release or threat of release.
When the facility has
determined that a removal
action is appropriate, the facility
should undertaken the action as
promptly as possible. The
action typically consists of the
following three stages (40 CFR
300.410,300.415):
a. A removal preliminary
assessment which includes
the collection or review of
readily available information
such as site management
practices, information from
waste generator, document
review, and facility
interviews.
b. A removal site inspection, if
necessary, to gather
information that was not
obtained during the removal
preliminary assessment.
c. A removal action which is
performed in response to a
specific release.
Confirm that the following information has been considered by the facility when
performing a removal preliminary assessment:
- Identification of the source and nature of the release or threat of release.
- Evaluation by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry or by other
sources (e.g., state public health agencies) of the threat to public hearth.
- Evaluation of the magnitude of the threat.
- Evaluation of factors necessary to make the determination of whether a removal is
necessary.
Determine whether a removal site inspection has been performed.
Verify that the facility has documented the results obtained from a removal site
evaluation.
Verify that the facility evaluated the following factors prior to initiating a removal action
to determine whether or not the action was appropriate:
- Actual or potential exposure of contaminants to nearby human populations,,
animals, or the food chain.
- Actual or potential contamination of drinking water supplies or sensitive
ecosystems.
• Hazardous substances or contaminants stored at the facility that may pose a threat
of release.
- High levels of hazardous substances or contaminants in surface soils that may
migrate.
- Weather conditions that may cause hazardous substances or contaminants to be
released.
- Threat of fire or explosion.
- The availability of appropriate release response mechanisms.

Community Relations
C.13. The facility is required to
conduct various community
relations (CR) activities
throughout the inactive waste
site evaluation process. The
community relations
requirements are intended to
promote active communication
between communities affected
by the release site and the

during the RI/FS, removal
action, and enforcement action
stages. Examples of CR
activities will include
interviewing community interest
groups, developing a
community relations plan
(CRP), and completing various
regulatory notification

appropriate opportunity to
become involved in site-related
decision making; to identify the
appropriate activities for
ensuring such public
involvement; and to provide the
appropriate opportunity for the
community to learn about the
release site (40 CFR
300.430(c), (f)).
Verify that prior to commencing fieldwork for the Rl, the facility to the extent possible,
has completed the following:
- Conducted interviews with community interest groups.
- Developed a community relations plan (CRP) that is based on the community
interviews and other relevant information.
- Established and informed the public of the establishment of a information repository
at or near the location of the response action.
Confirm that the facility prior to initiating their remedial design reviewed the CRP to
determine whether it should be revised to describe further public involvement
activities during the RD/RA phase that were not already addressed or provided for in
the CRP.
Ensure that if the facility (with assistance from regulatory agencies) enters into an
enforcement agreement with de minimis parties, a notice of the proposed agreement
has been published in the Federal Register at least 30 days before the agreement
becomes final.
Verify that if an enforcement agreement is embodied in a consent decree, that public
notice and opportunity for public comment are provided.
If a change in the remedial or enforcement action has occurred, confirm that the
facility has issued a notice in a major local newspaper stating that the ROD has
undergone a revision.
Verify that after the ROD has been signed, the facility has made it available for public
inspection and has published a notice of the ROD'S availability in a major local
newspaper.

Regulatory Requirements:
Reviewer Checks:
Administrative Record
C.14. It is required that the
facility develop and maintain an
administrative record that
contains the documents that
form the basis for the selection
of a response action. The
administrative record is required
to be maintained at a central
location near the release site
and the record should be easily
accessible to community
interest groups (40 CFR
300.800, 300.805. 300.810.
300.815, 300.820)
Confirm that the facility has established a docket at an office of the facility or other
central location for which documents included in the administrative record are located
and a copy of the documents in the AR have also been made available for public
inspection at or near the release site.
When documents have not been placed in a file at or near the release site, verify that
the facility has added such documents to the file upon request.
Verify that copies of the following documents have been submitted to the EPA:
- The administrative record index.
- RI/FS work plans.
- RI/FS reports released for public comment.
- Proposed remedial action plan.
• Public comments on the RI/FS and proposed plan.
- Any documents specifically requested by the EPA.
Review the administrative record to ensure that it contains the following documents:
- Data that has been used to form the basis for the selection of a response action
(specific examples are noted in 40 CFR 300.810(a)(1)).
- Guidance documents, technical literature, and site-specific policies that may form
the basis for the selection of a response action (specific examples are noted in 40
CFR 300.810(a)(2)).
- Documents received, published, or made available to the public for remedial or
removal actions (specific examples are noted in 40 CFR 300.810(a)(3)).
- Decision documents (e.g., ROD. action memorandum).
- Enforcement orders
- Document index.
For removal actions that have a planning period of at least six months prior to
initiating on-site activities, verify the following:
- The administrative record has been made available for public inspection at or near
the site when the Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis (EE/CA) has been made
available for public comment.
- A public participation process and public comment period has been provided as
outlined in C.12.
For removal actions that are not subjected to C.14, verify the following:
- Documents included in the administrative record were made available for public
inspection no later than 60 days after initiation of on-site removal activity.
- A notice of availability was published in a major local newspaper when the
administrative documents were made available for public inspection.
- A public comment period of not less than 30 days was provided.
For remedial investigation actions, ensure that the facility completed the following:
- The administrative record file used for selecting a remedial action was made
available for public inspection when the remedial investigation phase begins.
- A public comment period was provided as outlined in Step C.14.
- The public participation process was completed as outlined in Step C.14.

Appendix 5-1
Consolidated List of Chemicals Covered In Title III of SARA
This consolidated chemical list includes chemicals subject to reporting requirements under Title m
of SARA. This consolidated chemical list does not contain all chemicals that are subject to
reporting requirements in Secdons 311 and 312 of SARA Title HI. These hazardous chemicals,
for which MSDS must be developed under the Occupational Safety and Health Act Hazard
Communication Standards, are identified by broad criteria, rather than enumeration. There are
over 50,000 such substances that meet the criteria. The consolidated list has been prepared to help
determine whether there is a need to submit reports under Section 304 or 313 of Tide HI and, for a
specific chemical, what reports need to be submitted.
The list includes chemicals under the four following Federal statutory provisions:
1. SARA Section 302 Extremely Hazardous Substances - The presence of which, in sufficient
quantities, requires certain emergency planning activities to be conducted. Releases of these
substances are also subject to reporting under Section 304 of Title m. The final rule listing
the extremely hazardous substances and their threshold planning quantities (TPQ), is found in
40 GFR 355-
2. CERCLA Hazardous Substances (RQ) Chemicals - Releases of which are subject to reporting
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA or Superfund) of 1980. Such releases are also subject to reporting under Section
304 of Tide m. CERCLA hazardous substances, and their reportable quantities (RQ), are
listed in 40 CFR Part 302, Table 302.4.
r
3. SARA Section 313 Toxic Chemicals - Emissions or releases of which must be reported
annually as pan of SARA Title Ill's community right-to-know provisions. A list of these
toxic chemicals is found in 40 CFR 372.65.
4. RCRA Hazardous Wastes - from the "P" and "U" lists (40 CFR 261.33), of specific
chemicals. RCRA hazardous wastes from the "F" and "K" lists are not included here; such
waste streams are also CERCLA hazardous substances. This listing is provided as an
indicator that you may already have data on a specific chemical that can be used for Tide HI
reporting purposes.
There are four columns in the consolidated list corresponding to these four statutory provisions. If
a chemical is listed as an extremely hazardous substance under Section 302, its TPQ is given in the
extremely hazardous substance column. Similarly, the CERCLA RQ is given for those chemicals
that are listed as hazardous substances. A key to the symbols used in the Section 302 and
CERCLA columns precedes the list. An "X" in the column for Section 313 indicates that the
chemical is subject to reporting under Section 313.
The letter-and-digit code in the column for 40 CFR 261.33 is the chemical's RCRA hazardous
waste code. A blank in any of these columns indicates that the chemical is not subject to the
corresponding statutory authorities.
The Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number is provided for each chemical on the list

Key to Symbols In the Consolidated Chemical List
# Indicates that the RQ is subject to change when an assessment of potential carcinogenicity
and/or chronic toxicity is completed; until then, the statutory RQ applies.
## Indicates that an adjusted RQ has been proposed, but a final judgment has not been made.
+ USEPA has proposed to adjust the RQ for radionuclides by establishing RQs in units of
curies; until then, the 1 Ib RQ applies.
* Indicates that the chemical is proposed for deletion from the list of extremely hazardous
substances.
** Indicates that no RQ is assigned to this generic or broad class.

-------
A. Applicability
This section applies to facilities that store oil in tanks or containers above or below the
ground. Specifically, this section addresses oil spill response plans, facility response plans,
and oil transfer activities.
Assessors are required to review agency, federal, state and local regulations in order to
perform a comprehensive assessment.
B. Federal Legislation
1) Water Pollution Control Act of 1972
This law was the primary Federal law governing the discharge of oil into navigable waters.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) of 1972 was amended by the Clean
Water Act (CWA) of 1977. Section 311 of the CWA describes a policy that no discharges of
oil or hazardous substances into navigable waters should occur. Implementing regulations
found at 40 CFR 110 and 112 establish requirements for oil spill reporting and preparation of
oil spill plans for facilities exceeding the threshold quantities of stored oil. 40 CFR 110
regulation prohibits the discharge of harmful quantities of oil into navigable waters. 40 CFR
110 also defines harmful quantities as those discharges which will cause a sheen or
discoloration of the surface of the water or a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the
surface of the water.
2) The Oil Pollution Act (OPA) of 1990
This law, Public Law (PL) 301-308; 33 U.S. Code (USC) 2701-2761, et. al. as amended,
requires the prevention of oil pollution into navigable waters by tank vessels. Additionally,
this act applies to the storage of flammable and combustible liquids.
C. State/Local Regulations
Many states (e.g., New Jersey, California) and some major metropolitan and regional planning
agencies have developed legislation and implemented regulations which closely parallel the
Federal regulations. Some, however, may differ in important ways, and the evaluator should
obtain copies of the state or local requirements for the Oil and Hazardous Substances
Pollution Contingency (OHSPC) and the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures
(SPCC) plans, where appropriate, and review them for those differences before conducting the
evaluations.
Phase 1 - Section 6
Spill Control and Response
6-1
-------
D. Key Compliance Requirements
3) The SPCC Plan
Facilities that store, transport, or dispense petroleum products are required to prepare an
SPCC Plan, unless certain criteria are met. The SPCC Plan is required to contain general
information about the facility, name and title of the designated coordinator, and an inventory
of all storage, handling, and transfer facilities. Each SPCC Plan must be reviewed at least
once every 3 years, unless it is an exempted facility. The SPCC plan must be reviewed and/or
amended when there is a material change in facility design, construction, operation, or
maintenance that alters the potential for an oil spill. Each SPCC Plan and any amendments
must be certified by a professional engineer and the plan and each amendment must be
prepared according to sound engineering practices. A copy of the SPCC Plan is required to be
available at sites that are normally attended at least 8 hours/day where there is a potential for
a discharge. All facility personnel involved with the management and handling of oil must
receive training (40 CFR 112.3, 112.5, 112.7(e)(10)).
4) Facility Response Plan
Recent revisions to 40 CFR 112 require non-transportation related onshore facilities that,
because of location could reasonably be expected to cause substantial harm to the
environment by discharging oil into or on the navigable waters or adjoining shoreline to
prepare facility response plans for responding to a worst case discharge of oil and to a
substantial threat of such discharge (40 CFR 112.20).
A facility could, because of its location, reasonably be expected to cause substantial harm if it
meets any of the following criteria:
• The facility transfers oil over water to or from vessels and has a total oil storage capacity
greater than or equal to 42,000 gallons
• The facility's total oil storage capacity is greater than or equal to 1 million gallons and
one of the following is true:
the facility does not have secondary containment for each aboveground area
sufficiently large to contain the capacity of the largest AST within each storage area
plus sufficient freeboard to allow for precipitation;
the facility is located at a distance such that discharge from the facility could cause
injury to fish and wildlife and sensitive environment;
the facility is located at a distance such that a discharge from the facility would shut
down a public drinking water intake; and
the facility has had a reportable oil spill in an amount greater than or equal to 10,000
gallons within the last 5 years.
Phase 1 - Section 6
Spill Control and Response
6-2
-------
5) Discharges/Spills
A discharge of oil into navigable waters of the United States, or adjoining shorelines, or into
areas that may affect natural resources belonging to or under the exclusive management
authority of the United States' must be reported to the National Response Center (NRC).
Facilities are not allowed to add dispersants or emulsifiers to oils that are discharged (40 CFR
110.2 through 110.10).
6) Discharge Prevention/Cleanup
Facilities are required to have appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures and
cleanup equipment readily available to prevent discharged petroleum products from reaching
navigable water courses (40 CFR 112.7(c)). According to legal counsel and private sector
lawyers the "shoulds" in 40 CFR 112 are "musts". This decision is based on the clause 40
CFR 112.7(e) requiring "conformance with the following applicable guidelines, other effective
spill prevention and containment procedures (or, if more stringent), with State rules,
regulations or guidelines". According to the opinions we received the word "or" implies
required compliance with either the Federal guidelines or the State rules, whichever is more
strict.
7) Piping Systems
Buried piping at facility transfer operations, pumping activities and in-plant processing is
required to have a protective wrapping and/or coating and be cathodically protected if soil
conditions warrant (40 CFR 112.7(e)(3)(i) and 112.7(e)(3)(iv)).
8) Loading and Unloading Racks
Onshore tank car and tank truck loading/unloading racks are required to have containment and
a method of preventing vehicles from leaving before transfer lines have been disconnected.
Personnel at these sites are required to survey drains and outlets of vehicles prior to their
departure to ensure that there is no leakage (40 CFR 112.7(e)(4)).
E. Key Compliance Definitions
9) Container
Any portable device in which materials is stored, transported, treated, disposed of, or
otherwise handled (40 CFR 279.1).
10) Contiguous Zone
The entire zone established or to be established by the United States under article 24 of the
Convention on the Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone (40 CFR 110.1).
11) Continuous Discharge
A discharge occurring without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility,
except for infrequent shutdowns for maintenance, process changes, or other similar activities
(40 CFR 123.3).
Phase 1 - Section 6
Spill Control and Response
6-3
-------
12) Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24 hour period that
reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling (40 CFR 122.2).
13) Direct Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant (40 CFR 122.2).
14) Discharge
When used in relation to section 311 of the Act, includes, but is not limited to, any spilling,
leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping, but excludes (40 CFR 110.1):
Discharges in compliance with a permit;
Discharges resulting from circumstances identified and reviewed and made a pan of the
public record with respect to an issued permit and subject to a condition in the permit;
and
Continuous or anticipated intermittent discharges from a point source, identified in a
permit application that are caused by events occurring within the scope of relevant
operating or treatment systems.
15) Management Practice (MP)
Practices that, although not mandated by law, are encouraged to promote safe operating
procedures.
16) Navigable Waters
The waters of the United States, including the territorial seas. Navigable waters do not include
prior converted cropland. The terms includes (40 CFR 100.2):
All waters that are currently used, were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in
interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters that are subject to the ebb and flow
of the tide;
Interstate waters, including interstate wetlands;
All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams),

A. Applicability
This section, which applies to all federal facilities and federal actions, integrates the
requirements of diverse laws and regulations pertaining to the assessment, documentation,
management, avoidance, minimization, monitoring, and mitigation of environmental impacts
resulting from the actions and policies of federal agencies and the construction and operations
of federal facilities. The collective intent of these laws and regulations is the protection of
human health and the environment, including the protection and management of natural
resources such as the physical media (air, soil, water) and biological components of
ecosystems, protected habitats (e.g., wetlands), endangered and threatened specie's, agricultural
resources, and commercial and recreational fisheries. This section integrates the environmental
impact assessment and prevention elements of federal requirements which normally will apply
to any facility potentially affecting human health and/or the natural and built environment.
The primary focus of this section is on policy formulation and facility construction impacts of
federal agencies, as regulated by laws such as the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA).
More specific regulatory requirements for the prevention, management, and monitoring of
facility operational impacts to physical environmental media (e.g., air, soil, and water), which
supplement the environmental management provisions of NEPA, ESA, CWA and other laws,
are addressed in greater detail elsewhere in other checklists. Management of agency/facility
impacts to cultural and historic resources, such as archaeological, paleontological, and historic
sites and materials, which must be evaluated concurrently with impacts to ecological
resources, is addressed separately.
In order to perform a comprehensive assessment, assessors also are required to review agency,
federal, state, and local regulations pertaining to the management of facility impacts to natural
resources.
B. Federal Legislation
1. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
The purpose of this Act (42 U.S. Code (USC) 4321-4370c), as last amended in November
1990, is to declare and implement a national policy to prevent or eliminate damage to the
environment and biosphere, and stimulate the health and welfare of man (42 USC 4321). Its
underlying intent is to encourage productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his
environment. Under NEPA, the continuing policy of the federal government is to use all
practicable planning, policy, and regulatory means and measures in a manner calculated to
foster and promote the general welfare, and to create and maintain conditions under which
Phase 1 • Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-1
-------
man and nature can exist in productive harmony, and fulfill the social, economic, and other
needs of present and future generations of Americans [42 USC 433l(a)]. Under NEPA and
related laws, it is the continuing responsibility of the federal government to manage, monitor,
and preserve the important historic, cultural, and natural aspects of our national heritage (42
USC 4331(b)(4)).
2. Executive Order (EO) 11514, Protection and Enhancement of Environmental Quality
This EO, issued on 5 March 1970 and amended by EO 11991 issued on 24 May 1977, is a
Presidential order which implements NEPA. Under this EO, the Federal Government must
provide leadership in protecting and enhancing the quality of the nation's environment to
sustain and enrich human life. Federal agencies must direct their policies, plans, and
programs so as to meet national environmental goals.
3. The Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973
The purpose of this Act (16 USC 1531-1547 et al., last amended in October 1988) is to
provide a means whereby the ecosystems upon which endangered species and threatened
species depend may be conserved, to provide a program for the conservation of such
endangered species and threatened species, and to take such steps as may be appropriate to
achieve the purposes of the treaties and conventions for protection of endangered species (16
USC 1531(b)). Under ESA, the policy of Congress is that all federal departments and
agencies must seek to conserve endangered species and threatened species and must use their
authorities in furtherance of the purposes of this Act. Further, federal agencies must
cooperate with state and local agencies to resolve water resource issues in concert with
.conservation of endangered species (16 USC 1531(c)).
4. The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1946
This Act, last amended in July 1965 (16 USC 666c), is the federal legislation which
coordinates programs and activities regarding the conservation and rehabilitation of fish and
wildlife in the United States. A key element linking this statute to assessments of
environmental impacts conducted under NEPA is the requirement for interagency
consultations by the lead NEPA review agency, with appropriate federal agencies responsible
for the protection and management of fish and wildlife resources throughout the NEPA
review process.
For example, whenever the waters of any stream or other body of water are proposed or
authorized to be impounded, diverted, the channel deepened, or the stream or other body of
water otherwise controlled or modified for any purpose whatever, including navigation and
drainage, by any department or agency of the United States, or by any public or private
agency under federal permit or license, such department or agency first must consult with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior (DOI), and with the head of the
agency exercising administration over the wildlife resources of the particular state where the
impoundment, diversion, or other control facility is to be constructed, with a view to the
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-2
-------
conservation of wildlife resources by preventing loss of and damage to such resources as well
as providing for the development and improvement thereof in connection with such
water-resource development [16 USC 662(a)].
5. The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980
This Act (Public Law 96-366; 16 USC 2901 et seq.) promotes state programs for the purpose
of conserving, restoring, or otherwise benefiting nongame fish and wildlife, their habitats, and
their uses.
6. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918
This Act, last amended in December 1989 (16 USC 703-711), is a federal law which enforces
international conventions for the protection of migratory birds and game animals to which the
United States is a party. Unless permitted by regulations, it is unlawful at any time,, by any
means or in any manner, to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture, or kill,
possess, offer for sale, sell, offer to baiter, offer to purchase, deliver for shipment, ship,
export, import, cause to be shipped, exported, or imported, deliver for transportation, transport
or cause to be transported, carry or cause to be carried, or receive for shipment,
transportation, carriage, or export, any migratory bird, any part, nest, or egg of any such bird,
or any product, whether or not manufactured, which consists, or is composed in whole or in
part, of any such bird or any part, nest, or egg thereof, included in the terms of the
conventions for the protection and conservation of migratory birds and game mammals
between the United States and the USSR, the United States and Mexico, and the United
States and Japan (16 USC 703). It is also unlawful to ship, transport, or carry, by any means
whatever, from one State, Territory, or district to or through another State, Territory, or
district, or to or through a foreign country, any bird, or any part, nest, or egg thereof,
captured, killed, taken, shipped, transported, or carried at any time contrary to the laws of the
State, Territory, or district in which it was captured, killed, or taken, or from which it was
shipped, transported, or carried (16 USC 705).
7. Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (RHA)
Section 10 of this Act (33 USC 403) requires issuance of a permit by the Corps of Engineers
for maintenance dredging in navigable waters of the United States. Permit applications under
Section 10 are typically made jointly with Section 404 permit applications under CWA for
discharge of dredge and fill material into "waters of the United States."
8. Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)
Section 404 of this Act (33 USC 1344) requires that all discharges of dredge and fill material
into "waters of the United States," which include vegetated wetlands, must meet the
requirements of USEPA's 404(b)(l) guidelines (40 CFR 230). All dredge and fill projects
permitted individually or jointly under Section 10 (RHA) and Section 404 (CWA) also must
obtain a Section 401 water quality certification from the state (33 USC 1341), unless
specifically exempted by Congress under Section 404(r) of CWA.

9. Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation
These U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulations (7 CFR 12), administered by the
USDA Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), set forth the "terms and
conditions under which a person who produces an agricultural commodity on highly erodible
land or designates such land for conservation use, plants an agricultural commodity on a
converted wetland, or converts a wetland shall be determined to be ineligible for certain
benefits provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and agencies and instruments of the
Department" (7 CFR 12.1 (a)). The environmental impact mitigation purposes of these
economic disincentives for unsound agricultural practices are to reduce soil erosion, reduce
sedimentation and improve water quality, and promote wetland conservation.
10. Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management
This EO, dated 24 May 1977 and amended by EO 12148, 20 July 1979, implements NEPA,
the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.
Each agency must provide leadership and take action to reduce the risk of flood loss, to
minimize the impact of floods on human safety, health and welfare, and to restore and
preserve the natural and beneficial values served by floodplains. Each agency must evaluate
the potential effects of any actions it may take in a floodplain; to ensure that its planning
programs and budget requests reflect consideration of flood hazards and floodplain
management; and to prescribe procedures to implement the policies and requirements of this
Order. Each agency must take floodplain management into account when formulating or
evaluating any water and land use plans, and must require land and water resources use
appropriate to the degree of hazard involved. Agencies must include adequate provision for
the evaluation and consideration of flood hazards in the regulations and operating procedures
for the license, permits, loan, or grants-in-aid programs that they administer (Section 2(c)).
11. Executive Order 11990, the Protection of Wetlands
This EO, dated 24 May 1977 and amended by EO 12608, dated 9 September 1987, requires
all federal agencies to issue procedures for ensuring that wetlands protection issues are
considered in all decision-making activities. Existing procedures such as those established to
implement NEPA must be modified to include wetlands protection and management. Under
this EO, each federal agency must provide leadership and take action to minimize the
destruction, loss, or degradation of wetlands, and to preserve and enhance the natural and
beneficial values of wetlands. Each agency, to the extent permitted by law, must avoid
undertaking or providing assistance for new construction located in wetlands, unless the head
of the agency finds that:
a. There is no practical alternative to such construction, and
b. The proposed action includes all practical measures to minimize harm to wetlands which
may result from such use. In making this finding the head of the agency may take into
account economic, environmental, and other pertinent factors (Section 2(a)).
Phase 1 - Section 7

Each agency must also provide opportunity for early public review of any plans or proposals
for new construction in wetlands (Section 2(b)).
12. The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl
Habitat (Ramsar Convention)
This Convention was created on 2 February 1971, in Ramsar, amended by Paris Protocol of
12 March 1982, and entered into force for the United States on 18 December 1986. Each
country must promote the conservation of wetlands and waterfowl by establishing nature
reserves on wetlands and provide adequately for their wardening (Article 4, para. 1). The
signatory nations (Contracting Parties) must promote the training of personnel competent in
the fields of wetland research, management, and wardening (Article 4, para. 4). Contracting
Parties agreed:
a. Wetlands constitute a resource of great economic, cultural, scientific and recreational
value, the loss of which would be irreparable;
b. The progressive encroachment on and loss of wetlands now and in the future should be
stemmed;
c. Waterfowl in their seasonal migration should be regarded as an international resource;
and
d. Conservation of wetlands and their flora and fauna can be ensured by combining
far-sighted national policies with coordinated international action.
13. SikesActof 1960
This Act (16 USC 670a-670o, last amended in November 1989) authorizes the Secretary of
Defense to carry out a program of planning, development, maintenance, and coordination of
wildlife, fish, and game conservation and rehabilitation in military reservations in accordance
with a cooperative plan mutually agreed upon by the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of
the Interior (SOI), and the appropriate State agency designated by the State in which the
reservation is located (16 USC 670a(a)). This Act also requires the Secretary of each military
department to:
a. Manage the natural resources of each military reservation within the United States that is
under his jurisdiction so as to:
1) Provide sustained multipurpose uses of those resources; and
2) Provide the public access that is necessary or appropriate for those uses, to the extent
that those uses and that access are not inconsistent with the military mission of the
reservation (16 USC 670a-l(a)).

b. Ensure, to the extent feasible, that the services necessary for the development,
implementation, and enforcement of fish and wildlife management on each military
reservation within the United States under his jurisdiction are provided by DOD
personnel who have professional training in those services (16 USC 670a-l(b)).
14. Public Law (PL) 86-337
This Law (10 USC 2671) requires that all hunting, fishing, and trapping on Department of
Defense facilities be in accordance with the fish and game laws of the state in which it is
located, and that appropriate state licenses for these activities on the DOD facility be
obtained. PL 86-717 requires that projects be developed and maintained to encourage,
promote, and assure adequate and dependable future resources, including supplies of forest
products. The forest lands will be administered to increase the value of project lands for
recreation and wildlife, and to promote ecological conditions by following accepted
conservation practices.
/
15. The Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) of 1972
This Act, lasted amended in November 1990 (16 USC 1451-1464), is the state-administered,
federal legislation which governs the preservation and onshore and offshore management of
coastal zones in the nation. The national policy for these coastal zones is to:
a. Preserve, protect, develop, and where possible, restore or enhance, the resources of the
nation's coastal zone for this and succeeding generations;
b. Encourage and assist the states to exercise effectively their responsibilities in the coastal
zone through the development and implementation of management programs to achieve
wise use of the land and water resources of the coastal zone, giving full consideration to
ecological, cultural, historic, and aesthetic values, as well as the needs for compatible
economic development;
c. Encourage the preparation of special area management plans which provide for increased
specificity in protecting significant natural resources, reasonable coastal-dependent
economic growth, improved protection of life and property in hazardous areas, including
those areas likely to be affected by land subsidence, sea level rise, storm events, or
fluctuating water levels of the Great Lakes, and improved predictability in governmental
decision making;
d. Encourage the participation and cooperation of the public, state and local governments,
and interstate and other regional agencies, as well as of the federal agencies having
programs affecting the coastal zone, in carrying out the purposes of this Act;
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-6
-------
e. Encourage coordination and cooperation with and among the appropriate federal, state,
and local agencies, and international organizations where appropriate, in collection,
analysis, synthesis, and dissemination of coastal management information, research
results, and technical assistance, to support state and federal regulation of land use
practices affecting the coastal land ocean resources of the United States; and
f. Respond to changing circumstances affecting the coastal environment and coastal
resource management by encouraging states to consider such issues as ocean uses
potentially affecting the coastal zone (16 USC 145).
16. The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MM PA)
This Act (PL 95-522; 16 USC 1361) prohibits the illegal taking of marine mammals,
irrespective of whether or not they are protected under the Endangered Species Act. Although
the taking issue may not be directly applicable to normal federal facility activities, the
environmental monitoring plans of coastal facilities should ensure that facility effects on
marine mammals are monitored and mitigated to the fullest extent practicable.
17. Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (MPRSA)
This Act (PL 92-532, 33 USC 1401 and 1431) implements the provisions of international
conventions on ocean dumping and marine pollution, to which the United States is a
signatory. Title I of the MPRSA prohibits ocean dumping of solid, hazardous, medical, and
radioactive wastes without a permit. Title III of the MPRSA provides for the establishment of
national marine sanctuaries that are afforded special protection and management programs.
18. Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1986
This Act (16 USC 1271-1287, last amended in May 1991) outlines the policy of the United
States that certain selected rivers of the nation which, with their immediate environments,
possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic,
cultural, or other similar values, must be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they
and their immediate environments must be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present
and future generations. The Congress declares that the established national policy of dam and
other construction at appropriate sections of the rivers of the United States needs to be
complemented by a policy that would preserve other selected rivers or sections thereof in
their free-flowing condition to protect the water quality of such rivers and fulfill other vital
national conservation purposes (16 USC 1271). The purpose of this Act is to implement the
declared policy of Congress by instituting a national wild and scenic rivers system, by
designing the initial components of that system, and by prescribing the methods by which and
standards to which additional components may be added to the system from time to time (16
USC 1272).

19. Farmland Protection Policy Act of 1981
The purpose of this Act (7 USC 4201-4209, last amended in December 1991) is to minimize
the extent to which federal programs contribute to the unnecessary and irreversible conversion
of farmland to nonagricultural uses, and to assure that federal programs are administered in a
manner that, to the extent practicable, will be compatible with state, unit of local government,
and private programs and policies to protect farmland (7 USC 420l(b)).
20. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980
As amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 (42
USC 9601-11050, 10 USC 2701-2810 et. seq.), CERCLA/SARA regulates the prevention,
control, characterization of, and compensation for impacts and risks to human health and the
environment, including damages to natural resources, caused by environmental contamination
resulting from releases of oil, chemicals, and other hazardous materials. Where applicable, the
site-specific CERCLA/SARA requirements of federal agencies and facilities may include:
• The comprehensive characterization of the on-site/off-site nature, extent, fate/migration of
contamination in physical and/or biological media (remedial investigation (RI));
• Assessments of the contamination exposure risks to human populations (human health
risk assessment (HHRA)) and ecological receptors (ecological risk assessment (ERA));
• Natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) and notification of federal and state natural
resource trustees regarding damages to trustee resources (e.g., habitats and species);
• The evaluation of other human health and/or environmental consequences of contaminant
releases;
• A feasibility study (FS) of alternative strategies and methods for site cleanup and
restoration; and
• The design (remedial design (RD)) and implementation (remedial action (RA)) of site-
specific remediation plans.
21. Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and Practices
40 CFR 257 regulates the disposal of sludge by application to land used for production of
food chain crops. It also sets forth criteria for waste disposal by soil injection and prohibits
solid waste disposal facilities or practices from adversely affecting floodplains and endangered
species.
22. Oil Pollution Prevention Act
Regulations promulgated under this Act (40 CFR 112) require that surface water receptors be
protected from facility releases of oils by implementation of Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasures (SPCC) plans that address each potential source.

-------
23. The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990
This Act (PL 101-508, as amended by PL 102-389) encourages looking at waste more broadly
with a view toward reducing pollution. All pollutants are to be minimized and waste creation
is to be controlled not just during the production process, but also in the design of products
that will have less impact on the environment while in use and after disposal.
24. EO 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards
This EO, dated 13 October 1978, requires federally owned and operated facilities to comply
with applicable federal, state, and local pollution control standards. It makes the head of each
executive agency responsible for ensuring that the agencies, facilities, programs, and activities
the Agency funds meet applicable federal, state, and local environmental requirements for
correcting situations that are not in compliance with such requirements. In addition, the EO
requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental compliance are
included in the agency budget.
25. EO 12856, Federal Compliance with Right-to-Know Laws and Pollution Prevention
Requirements
This EO, dated 3 August 1993, details the requirements to be met to ensure that federal
agencies conduct their facility management and acquisition activities so that, to the maximum
extent practicable, the quantity of toxic chemicals entering any waste stream is reduced as
expeditiously as possible. The EO required each federal agency to submit a pollution
prevention strategy to the EPA Administrator by August 3, 1994. Among the specific
requirements of this EO are a 50% reduction of total releases of pollutants and off-site
transfers of toxic chemicals per agency by 1999, and the formulation of facility-specific
pollution prevention plans.
26. Radiation Protection of the Public and the Environment
Department of Energy (DOE) regulations at 10 CFR 834 codify the environmental
surveillance requirements of DOE facilities for physical media and biota, including
endangered species and terrestrial/aquatic foodstuffs. These DOE regulations provide valuable
guidance for other federal agencies/facilities that lack comparable regulations, and are
recommended as best management practices (BMPs) for the monitoring and assessment of
impacts from facility-derived radionuclides (and chemical contaminants).
27. The Noise Control Act of 1972
This Act, PL 92-574 (42 USC 4901-4918), as amended:
a. Establishes a means for effective coordination of federal research and activities in noise
control;
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts

-------
b. Authorizes the establishment of federal noise emission standards for products distributed
in commerce; and
c. Provides information to the public respecting the noise emission and noise reduction
characteristics of such products.
Four categories of noise-generating products are covered:
• Construction equipment;
• Transportation equipment (including recreational vehicles and related equipment);
• Any motor or engine (including any equipment of which an engine or motor is an
integral part); and
• Electrical or electronic equipment.
The following are not covered by the Act (42 USC 4902(3)):
• Any aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance;
• Any military weapons or equipment designed for combat use;
• Any rockets or equipment designed for research, experimental, or developmental work to
be performed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; and
• Any other machinery or equipment designed for use in experimental work done by or for
the Federal Government.
28. Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979
This Act (PL 96-193; 49 USC Appendix 2103, 2104), as amended, complements the Noise
Control Act by regulating airport noise. Any airport operator may submit to the Secretary of
Transportation a noise exposure map. Such map shall set forth the noncompatible uses in each
area of the map, a description of the projected aircraft operations at such airport, and the
ways in which such operations will affect receptor populations and thus require revisions of
the map (49 USC 2103). Any airport operator who has submitted a noise exposure map and
related information may submit to the Secretary of Transportation a noise compatibility
program. This program shall include measures which the operator has taken or proposes for
the reduction of existing noncompatible uses and the prevention of the introduction of
noncompatible uses within the area covered by the noise exposure map submitted (49 USC
Appendix 2104).

This EO specifies that ORVs may not be used without special use and location designation.
31. The Federal Noxious Weed Act of 1970
This Act, last amended in September 1988 (7 USC 2803 and 2809), states that no person is
permitted to move any noxious weed identified in a regulation into or through the United
States or interstate, unless such movement is:
a. From Canada, or authorized under general or specific permit from the Secretary of
Agriculture; and
b. Made in accordance with such conditions as the Secretary may prescribe in a permit and
in regulations to prevent the dissemination into the United States, or interstate, of such
noxious weed (42 USC 2803).
A listing of aquatic, parasitic, and terrestrial plant species, federally-designated as noxious
weeds (7 CFR 360.200), appears in Appendix 9-1.
32. Draft United Nations Convention on Biodiversity
This draft treaty, presented in June 1992 at the United Nations Conference on the
Environment and Development, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, promotes the conservation of
biological diversity, restoration of damaged ecosystems, recovery of threatened and
endangered species, and sustainable use of biological resources. The United States is a
signatory to the Convention.
C. State/Local Regulations
Many states have laws and regulations comparable to federal laws such as NEPA, ESA, and
Section 404 of the CWA, which are equally or more stringent than these federal laws. Under
such state laws, additional or overlapping requirements may pertain to actions of federal
agencies and facilities potentially affecting ecological resources such as physical media,
wetlands, protected species and their habitats, and other categories of flora and fauna. Such
examples of state requirements include, but are not limited to:
• Lists of protected plant and animal species, considered rare, threatened, or endangered at
the state level, even if they are not listed as federally-protected species under ESA;
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-11
-------
Regulations and management practices (MPs) for the protection of surface waters, coastal
zones, wetlands, and the prevention of nonpoint source pollution; and
Regulations governing hunting and fishing activities.
D. Key Compliance Requirements
1. Agricultural Resources
Other than the Farmland Protection Policy Act of 1981 (7 CFR 658), which minimizes the
extent to which federal programs may contribute to the unnecessary conversion of farmland to
non-agricultural use, agricultural resources are afforded minimal direct protection under
federal, state, and local regulations.
Solid waste disposal regulations (40 CFR 257) provide some protection for agricultural
resources, however, since agricultural and livestock production lands are protected from
contaminants that could potentially come from the sewage wastes that are used as fertilizer
and soil conditioners.
Federal environmental reviews conducted under NEPA also may offer some protection for
agricultural resources, if the impacts of a new federal facility or agency action on local
agriculture are specified as impact issues to be addressed during the public scoping sessions
for a NEPA review. Agency-specific policies and regulations also may offer some protection,
such as those of DOE that mandate the routine environmental surveillance of agricultural soils
and foodstuffs, to detect DOE facility-derived chemical contaminants and radionuclides within
a 16 km radius of DOE facilities.
State-level environmental review requirements, similar to those of NEPA, may also address
facility impacts to agricultural resources and/or promote the preservation of agricultural land.
2. Aquatic Biota
Federal and state laws protect aquatic biota, both directly for trustee resources such as
anadromous fish, commercial shellGsh, endangered species, and marine mammals, and/or
indirectly by protecting aquatic or wetland habitats and regulating facility impacts to the
chemical and radiological quality of the sediments and surface waters found within these
habitats. Reporting requirements for spills of oil and hazardous materials into surface waters,
for example, include notification of Trustees of many of these aquatic biological resources.
Prevention and minimization of impacts to aquatic biota from effluent discharges, including
storm water, is accomplished primarily through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permits program under the CWA (40 CFR 122). To be effective, NPDES
permits must set facility/site-specific effluent standards, that reflect the capacity of the
receiving water body to assimilate and dilute the contaminant levels of the effluent to non-
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-12
-------
toxic concentrations. To preclude or minimize adverse effects on aquatic biota, NPDES
permits should be conditioned to prevent exceedances of surface water quality standards
within the surface waters receiving the effluent. To achieve this, the effluent limits should be
based on the ambient water quality criteria developed by EPA (1976, 1986, 1987, and 1992).
Ambient water quality criteria (AWQC), developed for fresh and marine surface waters by
EPA under Section 304(a)(l) of the CWA, are periodically updated and are based on acute
and chronic toxicity data for aquatic biota. Since they are designed to be protective of entire
communities of aquatic flora and fauna, these AWQC are the most useful regulatory standards
for the protection of fresh water and marine organisms, within the context of the Clean Water
Act.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also has published sediment
guidelines that can be applied to marine and freshwater ecosystems, to assess ecological risks
to benthic invertebrate biota from exposures to sediment contamination. As indicated above
for agricultural foodstuffs, other agency-specific regulations, such as those of DOE, may also
require monitoring of the levels of facility-derived chemicals and radionuclides in the surface
water, sediments, and biota of aquatic ecosystems that are potentially affected by facility
operations.
3. Coastal Zone Resource Management
The Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA; 16 USC 1451-1464) establishes national
policy pertaining to the coordinated federal, state, and local management of natural resources
of the coastal zones of the United States, including surface waters, wetlands, floodplains, fish
and wildlife, and their habitats. Federal agency policies and facility development activities in
the coastal zone, boundaries of which are defined in each state's CZMA Plan, must be
consistent with state-administered Coastal Zone Management Plans established pursuant to
CZMA. Each facility within the coastal zone must obtain a Certificate of Consistency with the
state's CZMA Plan.
Ecological resources found within the coastal zone also may be protected under other federal
and/or state laws, such as those pertaining to wetlands (CWA), floodplains, commercial fish
and shellfish resources, migratory birds (MBTA), and marine mammals (MMPA). Estuarine
and open ocean ecosystems also may be protected from dumping of solid, hazardous, medical,
and radioactive wastes (without a permit), as marine sanctuaries, under the Marine Protection,
Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (MPRSA; P.L. 92-532, 33 USC 1401 and 1431).
Provisions of the CWA and CERCLA also afford protection to certain "trustee resources" of
the coastal zone, such as anadromous fish, commercial fish and shellfish, migratory birds,
marine mammals, and wetlands, from spills or releases of oil and hazardous materials.

4. Dredge and Fill Permits
Dredge and fill activities conducted within both navigable and non-navigable "waters of the
United States" are regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) pursuant to:
• Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (RHA; 33 USC 403), and
• Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA; 33 USC 1344).
Application under both statutes is made jointly to the COE, for the discharge of dredge
spoil/water and/or fill into "waters of the United States," which include all surface water
bodies and vegetated wetlands such as swamps and marshes. As part of the Sections 10/404
review process, the COE must determine if the project will comply with EPA's 404(b)(l)
guidelines (40 CFR 230), that were established as a guide to evaluating discharges of dredged
or fill material into the waters of the United States. As part of the Sections 10/404 public
interest review process (33 CFR 320.4(a)), the COE also must consider project-specific and
cumulative impacts to aesthetics, economics, land use, recreation, shore erosion, water quality,
and wetland, fish, and wildlife resources.
As part of the interagency review process mandated by the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA; see 40 CFR 6.302) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 USC .661-
667e; see 33 CFR 230.25), the COE must obtain application review commentary from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS),
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), before deciding whether an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) is required under NEPA, and before issuing a Section 404 permit.
In compliance with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 CFR 325.2(b)(l)), and as a
requirement of the Section 404 permitting process, a Water Quality Certification (WQC) also
must be obtained for the project from the state. In some states the COE may hold joint
public hearings on Sections 10/404, Section 401, and related permit applications under other
state laws (e.g., wetland protection laws). In order to obtain the Section 401 WQC from the
state, the proposed project must be shown to comply with the state's surface water quality
criteria, which must be at least as stringent as EPA's ambient water quality criteria (AWQC)
for the protection of aquatic life.
Section 404(c) empowers EPA to veto Section 404 permits issued by the COE.
5. Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA)
An ERA is the assessment of qualitative and/or quantitative risks posed to communities,
populations, or individual species of ecological receptors (flora and fauna) from the exposure
to chemicals or radionuclides in the physical and biological media of their environment.
ERAs are often required as part of or concurrently with remedial investigations at CERCLA
and/or RCRA sites, and may form the basis for natural resource damage assessments and the
development of ecological risk-based site cleanup decisions, goals, and remedial actions. An
ERA may be based on direct exposures (e.g., contact, ingestion, inhalation) or indirect
exposures (e.g., food chain contamination) to environmental contaminants.

6. Endangered and Threatened Species
Pursuant to both NEPA (40 CFR 6.108 and 6.302) and the Endangered Species Act (16 USC
1531 et seq.; 33 CFR 230.25), federal agencies and facilities must consider their potential
impacts to federally-listed and state-listed endangered/threatened plant or animal species, and
their habitats. Such evaluations, which may include a Baseline Assessment of Endangered
Species (BATES), are best conducted during NEPA reviews prior to deciding if an EIS is
required and/or issuing federal permits (e.g., Sections 10/404 dredge and fill permits).
Although many states have Natural Heritage Programs or other programs to maintain lists of
both federal- and state-listed endangered/threatened species, not all of these also have
endangered species laws.
Facilities with federally- and/or state-listed endangered and threatened species are required to
implement habitat protection and management programs designed to ensure their conservation.
A baseline survey is required to determine if the facility has any such species and to
inventory such populations as a basis for devising protection and management measures
needed to maintain them. Such surveys are typically required within the context of NEPA or
comparable state-level environmental reviews, and/or as part of the permitting process for
agency/facility actions or policies affecting wetlands and/or associated surface waters, under
Section 404 of the CWA and similar state laws/regulations.
Protected species management programs should be developed in consultation with appropriate
federal and state agencies, and annual consultations with these agencies should be used to
report on the species status and to obtain updates on possible on-site occurrences of
previously unreported protected species. All facilities must review proposed actions and
activities to ensure that they are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a
federally-listed species or to destroy or adversely modify its critical habitat (40 CFR 1500; 50
CFR 402.01(a),402.10, 402.12).
7. Environmental Assessment and Monitoring
NEPA is the primary law mandating the assessment of environmental impacts, in concert with
other laws designed to protect the quality of physical media (air, soil, ground and surface
water), such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Safe Drinking Water Act. Federal
agency/facility commitments made in NEPA documents, moreover, may include long-term
monitoring and assessment of a facility's environmental impacts. Facility-specific permit
requirements, governing air and water emissions and waste disposal activities, also are likely
to include environmental monitoring requirements, and perhaps ecological effects
measurements, that must be conducted during the initial construction and/or long-term
operation of the facility.
The assessor should, therefore, assess the adequacy and accuracy of facility-specific NEPA
documents as a basis for long-term monitoring and assessment of facility operational impacts, '
and then coordinate a compliance review of specific monitoring requirements for physical
media with the appropriate assessors charged with evaluating medium-specific permit
compliance.
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-15
-------
This collaboration is critical, since it will provide the impact assessment specialist with data
needed on the types, locations, and concentrations of contaminants released by the facility,
with which to assess the facility's impacts on the physical and biological components of local
ecosystems.
8. Environmental Noise
NEPA requirements for impact assessment and mitigation include noise effects on humans
and the environment. Other federal laws regulating the management and mitigation of noise
impacts are the Noise Control Act of 1972 (NCA) and the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act of 1979 (ASANAA). Noise effects on wildlife, and in particular on animal
species protected under the ESA, MBTA, and MMPA, also are critical elements of any NEPA
review or document.
9. Floodplain Management
Proactive land use planning to avoid or minimize human activities within and/or alterations of
natural floodplains along rivers and other water bodies, where the statistical frequency of
flooding (e.g., 10-year and 100-year floodplains) is sufficiently high as to pose significant risk
to human life and property. Floodplain management and regulation is mandated by EO 11988
and may also be required by state laws protecting floodplain habitats associated with wetland
and surface water resources.
10. Ground Water Protection
Facility operations must be conducted so as to prevent or minimize, assess, monitor, and
mitigate adverse impacts to ground water resources, whether or not the affected aquifers are
used as a drinking water source for human consumption. Applicable federal ground water
protection regulations and quality standards are set forth under CERCLA, the CWA, the Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA), and RCRA. These assessment, monitoring, and ground water
protection requirements are addressed in greater detail in other checklists. Many states also
have ground water and drinking water standards, and in some cases soil standards that are
designed to protect ground water resources.
11. Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA)
HHRA is the assessment, usually quantitative, of incremental, non-cancer and cancer risks
posed to human receptors from the exposure to chemicals and/or radionuclides occurring in
the physical and/or biological media (e.g., food) of their environment. As with ERAs, HHRAs
are typically required as part of or concurrently with remedial investigations at CERCLA
and/or RCRA sites, and often form the basis for health risk-based remedial planning
decisions, media-specific site cleanup standards, and remedial action plans. HHRAs generally
integrate a combination of direct (e.g., contact, ingestion, inhalation) and indirect (e.g.,
contaminated foods) exposures to site-derived environmental contaminants.
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-16
-------
12. Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA)
NRDAs may be required to assess the impacts on natural resources resulting from operations
and contaminant releases at hazardous waste facilities/sites (CERCLA), or from environmental
releases of oil and other hazardous materials into waters of the United States (CWA).
CERCLA regulations also require that lead federal agencies reporting releases and/or
performing NRDAs coordinate with other state and federal Natural Resource Trustees when a
facility release or discharge may injure natural resources. These assessment, monitoring, and
reporting requirements for releases of oil and hazardous materials are addressed in greater
detail in other checklists.
13. NEPA Reviews and Documentation
Prior to undertaking any action having a potentially significant environmental impact, the
federal agency proposing such action must conduct an environmental review, pursuant to the
Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1500-1508) and its
agency-specific, NEPA implementing regulations, which were promulgated as required in
these CEQ NEPA regulations. The level and extent of NEPA review required is determined
on a case-by-case basis, and the documentation requirements will vary as a function of the
nature, complexity, scale, and environmental consequences of the action, as indicated below:
• Environmental Assessment (EA) - At a minimum, every NEPA review requires
preparation of an EA, before any contract for action is entered into or action is begun.
The purpose of an EA is to support a decision regarding the need for a more
comprehensive, environmental impact statement (EIS). If the lead agency determines that
the expected environmental impacts are not sufficient to warrant preparation of an EIS, it
will issue a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) and thus terminate the NEPA
review process.
• Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) - When a FONSI is issued on the basis of an
EA, the FONSI must meet certain requirements, such as the name of the action, a brief
description of the action, a discussion of environmental effects, the conclusions that have
led to the FONSI, and the date of approval and appropriate signature (40 CFR 1502.4,
1502.10 through 1502.13, 1503.4(i), 1508.9, and 1508.13).
• Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) - An agency or facility must produce an EIS if, at
any time during preparation of the EA, it becomes apparent that a proposed action is
likely to significantly degrade environmental quality, pose a threat to public health or
safety, and/or result in adverse cultural, socioeconomic, physical, biogeochemical, and/or
ecological impacts. The scope and content of the EIS must be determined on the basis of
federal interagency consultations and inputs from state agencies and other concerned
private and public entities, as part of a public scoping process.
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-17
-------
Both the EA and EIS must include an evaluation of project (e.g., project siting or design) or
policy alternatives, an assessment of adverse and beneficial impacts, identification of
strategies and measures to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse impacts, and documentation of
any residual, adverse impacts that cannot be fully mitigated.
14. No Net Loss Policy for Wetlands
The federal "no net loss policy" for wetlands, as set forth in a Memorandum of Agreement
between the EPA and the COE, effective as of 1/31/90, states that destruction of wetlands
should be avoided wherever possible, especially in cases where less damaging alternatives to
destructive projects/actions are available (40 CFR 230.10(a)). This policy incorporates
guidance from the CEQ, which defines avoidance of impacts as the top priority for mitigation,
with minimization of impacts as a secondary option, and mitigation of wetland impacts/losses
as a third, last resort option for those cases in which no less damaging alternatives exist and
wetland impacts prove unavoidable. The policy requires that the COE "strive to avoid adverse
impacts...to existing aquatic resources, and for wetlands, will strive to achieve a goal of no
overall net loss of values and functions."
15. Pollution Control and Prevention
Pollution control and prevention requirements for air, soil, surface water, and ground water
should be addressed cooperatively with the assessors of these physical media, only as needed
to assess a facility's impacts resulting from human and ecological exposures to these media.
One example is adverse effects on the aquatic biota of receiving waters resulting from
exceedances of facility-specific effluent discharge permit limitations (NPDES), that cause
local exceedances of ambient water quality criteria (AWQC) established by the EPA for the
protection of aquatic life.
16. Pollution Prevention Plan
A pollution prevention plan is a facility-specific plan for the control, prevention, and
reduction of pollution releases and off-site transfers of toxic chemicals, as required of all
federal agencies, by EO 12088, EO 12856, the Pollution Prevention Act, and related federal
laws/regulations. EO 12856, for example, requires all federal agencies to submit a pollution
strategy to the EPA Administrator by August 3, 1994, and to develop facility-specific
pollution prevention plans by 1995.
17. Remedial Investigation (Rl)
Where applicable, federal facilities may be required to conduct an RI and related studies of
potentially contaminated sites. Such examples may include, for example, a Department of
Defense Installation Restoration Program and/or to comply with CERCLA/SARA and/or
RCRA regulations.
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-18
-------
18. Soil and Sediment Quality
Federal remediation guidelines for soil and/or sediment contamination are mostly associated
with CERCLA/SARA and RCRA regulations, and may vary among sites based on the results
of RI/FS studies and site-specific risks posed to human and ecological receptors. Petroleum
and other chemical contamination of soils and sediments are of particular importance in areas
of releases from hazardous material transport vehicles. Guidelines set by EPA or state
regulators, and site-specific Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Regulations (ARARS)
developed during CERCLA remedial activities, may be useful to consider while auditing sites
with soil contamination.
Guidelines on permissible radioactivity levels in solid materials and liquid waste streams
disposed of or discharged to soil or sediment are addressed in some agency-specific policies
and regulations, in particular those of DOE (e.g., 10 CFR 834). In addition, standards used for
remedial action on residual radioactive material from inactive uranium processing sites
(40 CFR 192) could be applied to any sites where such material is present in soil or
sediments above background levels.
Soils. Common sources of soil contamination at facilities are:
• Chemical and radiological effluent discharges
• Use, disposal, storage, and management of hazardous and radiological materials and/or
waste
• Spills/discharges during the handling, transport, or use of hazardous and radiological
materials and/or wastes
In addition, gaseous and paniculate contaminants in air, such as sulfurous and nitrous oxides
and radioactive panicle emissions from stacks of production facilities, may settle on soil
surfaces far from their source. Local soil contamination can also result from landfills
containing municipal solid waste, which invariably contains discarded pesticides, cleaning
agents, and chemicals.
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations for PCBs denote the level of cleanup
required after a PCB spill incident (40 CFR 761.125). Guidelines are also available from
RCRA, including restrictions on disposal of solid or sewage wastes on or below agricultural
lands. Although there are no federally mandated criteria to define an acceptable level of total
petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in soils, several states have or are developing risk-based and/or
ground water protective soil standards for TPH, related petrochemicals, pesticides, metals, and
other chemicals.
Sediments. Since sediments may originate as soil, any contaminant, especially on the surface,
can be washed into water bodies where it may settle out of suspension. Consequently,
regulations and guidelines applicable to soils could also serve for sediments and vice-versa.
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-19
-------
To a lesser extent, contaminated plants and animals, including aquatic organisms, could also
contribute to sediment contamination as a result of biomass decomposition and organic
paniculate deposition.
Chemical and radiological contamination of sediments may have adverse environmental
effects, for some of the following reasons:
• Contaminated sediments may be in equilibrium with pore water and thus could
contaminate aquatic life, particularly benthic invertebrates and their predators, such as
fish;
• Dredging of sediments in wetlands and surface waters can generate large volumes of
excavated sediments which, because of possible unacceptable levels of contaminants, may
pose problems in handling and disposal; and
• Contaminated sediments can also be disturbed, resuspended, and/or redeposited on land
surfaces by boating, shipping, flood events, dredging, and underwater construction.
Bottom sediments of water bodies generate the potential for continued environmental
degradation, even when water-column contaminant levels comply with established water
quality criteria, since the sediments can first act as a sink for contaminants and then as a
source during resuspension.
Although there are no federally mandated sediment quality criteria that define acceptable
levels of chemical sediment contamination, potential ecological impacts can be assessed using
sediment ecotoxicological guidelines published by the NOAA (Long and Morgan, 1990,
1991). These bioassay-based sediment guidelines can be applied to assess potential impacts
and risks to benthic invertebrate biota of marine and freshwater ecosystems, from exposures
to specific sediment contaminants.
19. Surface Water Protection
Facility operations must be conducted so as to prevent or minimize, assess, monitor, and
mitigate adverse impacts to surface water resources, whether or not the affected water bodies
are used as a drinking water source for human consumption. Applicable federal surface water
protection regulations are set forth by the EPA under Section 304(a)(l) of the CWA, as
ambient water quality criteria (AWQC) designed both for the protection of aquatic life and as
standards for the human consumption of surface water and/or fish. These surface water
assessment, monitoring, and protection requirements are addressed in greater detail in the
Water Pollution Control checklist. Many states also have surface water standards, which must
be approved by the EPA and must be as stringent or more stringent than EPA's AWQC.
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-20
-------
20. Vegetation Management
Vegetation management refers to efforts to establish and maintain beneficial vegetative cover
types and communities, and to control and/or eliminate noxious weeds that have the ability to
disrupt and degrade native plant and animal communities, cause economic damages to
property and agricultural crops, and/or cause health problems to humans and/or agricultural
animals (livestock). Federal and state regulations governing the use of herbicides, the
destruction and transport of noxious weeds, and the alteration of vegetated wetlands and other
protected habitats, collectively, must be considered in the development of facility-specific
vegetation management plans.
21. Water Quality Certification
See Dredge and Fill Permits (Sections 401 and 404 of the CWA) and Surface Water
Protection (Section 304(a)(l) of the CWA).
22. Wetlands Protection
Protection of "waters of the United States" including vegetated wetlands is federally mandated
under Section 404 of the CWA, EO 11990, Protection of Wetlands, and the federal "no net
loss policy" for wetlands as set forth in a Memorandum of Agreement between the EPA and
the Corps of Engineers (effective as of January 31, 1990).
23. Wild and Scenic Rivers
The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 (30 CFR 297) prohibits the use of federal funds for
activities that would have an adverse effect on those characteristics that caused a river to be
classified as wild, scenic, or recreational. Protection of officially designated wild and scenic
rivers from construction and/or operation of federal facilities is also provided by various other
laws that protect the physical media, upland (bank) habitats, wetlands, floodplains, vegetation,
and resident and migratory fauna that are associated with the riverine and riparian ecosystems
of these wild and scenic river corridors.
Protection of the aesthetic, cultural, and historical values of these federally-listed rivers is also
addressed in the Cultural and Historic Resources checklist.
24. Wildlife Protection and Management
Both resident and migratory, terrestrial, and wetlands wildlife individuals and populations
(aquatic biota are addressed separately) may be affected by the construction and/or operation
of federal facilities, either:
• Directly, through direct impacts (e.g., suffocation from earth moving activities), loss of
habitat, displacement, and/or exposure to site-derived contaminants; and/or
• Indirectly, due to the loss or contamination of their food resources, caused by the
exposure of these plant or animal food species to site-derived radionuclides and/or
chemical contaminants.
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-21
-------
Except for legally protected federal and state trustee resources such as endangered species
(ESA), marine mammals (MMPA), and migratory birds (MBTA), little direct federal or state
protection is afforded to aquatic, wetland, or terrestrial wildlife. NEPA, thus, provides the
primary tool for the regulation of impacts to wildlife species that are not legally protected, in
and of themselves, under federal or state statutes. NEPA reviews and documentation,
including interagency consultations mandated by the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, thus,
are the primary means of protecting wildlife populations and their habitats.
Other federal laws mandating the characterization and remediation of site contamination (e.g.,
CERCLA/SARA and RCRA), however, can also mandate assessments of impacts/risks to
wildlife species in the form of an ecological risk assessment (ERA), which in turn may be
used to set site remediation goals and chemical-specific cleanup standards for soil, sediment,
and surface water. Wildlife management is also promoted by federal laws such as the Sikes
Act, which allows federal facilities to charge fees for hunting and fishing permits. These
funds then must be used for on-site fish and wildlife conservation programs.
E. Key Compliance Definitions
1. Action
All activities or programs of any kind authorized, funded, or carried out, in whole or in part,
by federal agencies in the United States or upon the high seas. Examples include, but are not
limited to (50 CFR 402.02):
a. Actions intended to conserve listed species or their habitat.
b. The promulgation of regulations.
c. The granting of licenses, contracts, leases, easements, rights-of-way, permits, or
grants-in-aid.
d. Actions directly or indirectly causing modifications to the air, landscape, soil, sediment,
ground water, surface water, and/or the biota (including humans) and ecosystems affected
by impacts to the quality of physical environmental media.
2. Action Area
All areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the federal action and not merely the
immediate area involved in the action (50 CFR 402.02).
Phase 1 - Section 7
Management of Environmental Impacts
7-22
-------
3. Anadromous Fish
Species of finfish that spend much of their adult life or non-reproductive seasons thereof in
the marine environment, but migrate inland to freshwater habitats during their respective
spawning seasons, where eggs are released/fertilized, embryos develop, and juvenile fish
spend up to several years maturing before migrating downstream to marine waters. Protection
and management of anadromous fish species (e.g., salmon, shad) are the responsibilities of
federal agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI USFWS) and National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). States may also have laws and regulations
designed to protect, manage, and regulate the sport and commercial harvesting of such fish
populations.
4. Management Practice (MP)
Practices that, although not mandated by law, are encouraged to promote safe or
environmentally sound operating procedures.
5. Candidate Species
Any plant or animal species being considered by the Secretary of Interior (SOI) for federal
listing as a rare, threatened, or endangered species under the ESA (SO CFR 404.02). This term
may also apply to candidates for state-listing under comparable state laws.
6. CERCLIS
The acronym for EPA's CERCLA information system, a comprehensive database and
management system that inventories and tracks releases addressed or needing to be addressed
by the Superfund program (40 CFR 300.5).
7. Compensatory Wetland Replication
A wetland impact mitigation method increasingly used at the federal and state levels to
compensate for unavoidable losses of wetland habitats, wherein a new wetland as similar in
hydrology, soils, and vegetation to that lost is created, preferably within the same hydrologic
reach as the lost wetland. It should be noted, however, that this is a last resort when
avoidance of impacts is not possible, since wetland creation has proven effective and
successful, in most cases, only where relatively simple, herbaceous wetland plant communities
such as wet meadows, marshes, and shrub swamps are being created.
8. Critical Habitat
Specific areas within the geographic area commonly occupied by a species which contain
features essential to the survival, reproductive success, and effective conservation of the
species and which may require special management considerations or protection. Specific
areas outside the currently occupied range of a rare, threatened, or endangered species may be
determined by the SOI as areas essential for the conservation of the species (50 CFR 424.02).
This term also may apply to critical habitat for state-listed species under comparable state
laws.

9. Decibel (dB)
A quantitative measure for sound. The zero on the decibel scale is based on the lowest sound
level that a healthy, unimpaired human ear can hear. Decibels are not linear, but
representative points on a sharply rising (exponential) curve.
10. dBA
A scale for measuring sound levels in decibels, using the A-weighting network of a sound
level meter.
11. dBC
A scale for measuring sound levels in decibels, using the C-weighting network of a sound
level meter.
12. Destruction or Adverse Modification
A direct or indirect alteration that appreciably diminishes the value of critical habitat for both
the survival and recovery of a listed species. Such alterations include, but are not limited to,
alterations adversely modifying any of those physical or biological features that were the basis
for determining the habitat to be critical (SO CFR 402.02).
13. Endangered Species
Any plant or animal species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant
portion of its range (other than noxious weeds or a species of the Class Insecta determined to
constitute a pest). Federally listed endangered species are officially designated by the DOI (SO
CFR 81.1). This term also may apply to state-listed species under comparable state laws.
14. Environmental Remediation
The active cleanup of environmental contamination in physical media, followed by restoration
of the damaged landscape, including its physical and/or biological components. Remediation
is planned/implemented on the basis of a comprehensive Remedial Investigation (RI) and
Feasibility Study (FS), conducted under the requirements of CERCLA and/or RCRA.
15. Feasibility Study (FS)
A study undertaken by the lead agency, on the basis of data gathered during an RI and related
studies (e.g., ERA and HHRA), to develop and evaluate options for remedial action at a
contaminated site (40 CFR 300.5).
16. Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
A NEPA document issued by the federal agency leading a NEPA review, based on the results
of an EA, that briefly presents the reasons why an action, not otherwise excluded from an EIS
under NEPA, does not require preparation of an EIS (40 CFR 1 SOS. 13).
17. Jeopardize the Continued Existence of
To engage in an action that reasonably would be expected, directly or indirectly, to reduce
appreciably the likelihood of both the survival and recovery of a listed species in the wild by
reducing the reproduction, numbers, or distribution of that species (SO CFR 402.02).
Phase 1 • Section 7

-------
18. No Net Loss of Wetlands
The federal goal and policy of preventing any net loss of wetland acreage, functions, or
values in the United States, in part, by avoiding or minimizing wetland impacts to the
maximum extent possible, and choosing to mitigate wetland losses through compensatory
replication or creation of wetlands, as a last resort only when wetland impacts or losses are
unavoidable.
19. Notice of Intent (NOI)
A published notice from a federal agency leading a NEPA review that an EIS will be
prepared. It must be published in the Federal Register and should contain (40 CFR 1508.22):
• A description of the proposed action and possible alternatives,
• The proposed public EIS scoping process and schedule, and
• The name and address of the person who can give more information.
20. Pollution Prevention (P2)
Federal Register 29 January 1993. This memorandum provides guidance to the federal
agencies on incorporating pollution prevention principles, techniques, and mechanisms into
their planning and decision making processes and evaluating and reporting those efforts in
documents prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy ACL
21. Preliminary Assessment (PA)
A review of existing information, and an on-site and/or off-site reconnaissance if appropriate,
to determine if an environmental release of a contaminant may require additional investigation
or action. A PA may include an on-site reconnaissance if appropriate (40 CFR 300.S).
22. Remedial Design (RD)
Technical analysis and procedures following selection of a cleanup method for a contaminated
site, which results in a detailed set of plans and specifications for the remedial action, for
example, at a CERCLA or RCRA site (40 CFR 300.5).
23. Remedial Investigation (Rl)
A process undertaken by the lead agency to determine the nature and extent of the site
environmental contamination problem presented by the release of a hazardous substance (40
CFR 300.5).
24. Threatened Species
Any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future
throughout all or a significant portion of its geographic distributional range. Federally listed
threatened species are officially designated by the DOI (50 CFR 81.21). This term also may
apply to state-listed species under comparable state laws.

Endangered Species
IMP.44 Federal protection of
plant and animal species
officially listed as endangered,
threatened, or rare, is afforded
primarily by the Endangered
Species Act (ESA) and related
provisions of federal statutes
such as NEPA and the Fish
and Wildlife Coordination Act
(FWCA). Some states also
have endangered species laws
and independent lists of
protected species, many of
which may not appear in the
federal lists (MP).
Compare baseline wildlife inventory of NEPA documents and monitoring records
against species listed as protected under the Endangered Species Act at 50 CFR 17,
as needed, to determine if protected species inhabit the facility or its surroundings.
If applicable, verify that the facility performed a Baseline Assessment of Threatened
and Endangered Species (BATES) and/or NEPA review for activities that may affect
federally-listed endangered or threatened species occurring on site (NEPA, ESA)
Verify that any BATES was conducted in consultation with appropriate federal
(USFWS or NMFS) and/or state agencies (e.g., Natural Heritage Program), pursuant
to NEPA, ESA, and FWCA.
Verify that the site conducts approved programs for the protection and management
of the species and their critical habitat (ESA; FWCA; NEPA).
Verify that the facility consults state and federal agencies annually, to:
- Report on the status of protected species found on site
- Obtain updated reports of new listings and/or local sightings of federally- and state-
listed endangered and threatened species of flora and fauna
- Select appropriate protected species for inclusion in the facility's biological
surveillance programs.
If any rare or endangered wildlife species or aquatic organisms are known to inhabit
or feed at either the site or off-site facility impact areas, determine if:
- Appropriate federal and state authorities (trustees) have been promptly notified of
their presence
- Potential facility operational and/or long-term expansion impacts on these species
and their habitat have been fully evaluated as a basis for impact mitigation
programs
- A protection and habitat management program has been developed and
implemented for these species in collaboration with appropriate wildlife experts and
regulatory authorities
- Signs are posted to indicate locations of nesting sites and sensitive habitat, and
these areas are identified on site maps and appropriate site personnel are aware of
them.

A. Applicability
This section addresses the proper storage and handling of chemicals and the spill contingency
and response requirements related to hazardous materials. Oil, pesticides and asbestos are
hazardous materials which require special management practices at facilities, and are
addressed in separate sections. Radioactive substances and the general category of hazardous
wastes are also not included in this section. This section does not focus on individual
hazardous chemicals or substances used, but deals with the generic requirements and
management practices (MP) associated with minimizing impacts on the environment due to
spills or releases of hazardous materials because of improper storage and handling.
Assessors are required to review agency, federal, state and local regulations in order to
perform a comprehensive assessment.
B. Federal Legislation
1. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
This Act, last amended in November 1990 (29 U.S. Code (USC) 651-678), is a federal statute
which governs the issues related to occupational safety and health. The purpose and policy
of this Act are to assure every working man and woman in the nation safe and healthful
working conditions and to preserve our human resources by, among other things, providing
for the development and publication of occupational safety and health standards, providing for
an effective enforcement program, and providing for appropriate reporting procedures with
respect to occupational safety and health which procedures will help achieve the objectives of
this Act and accurately describe the nature of the occupational safety and health (29 USC
2. The Hazardous Materials Transportation Act of 1975
This Act, as last amended in November 1990 (49 USC 1801-1819, et al), is the federal
legislation which governs the transportation of hazardous materials in the nation. The policy
of Congress is to improve the regulatory and enforcement authority of the Secretary of
Transportation to protect the Nation adequately against the risks to life and property which
are inherent in the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce (49 USC 1801).
3. The National Fire Code, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code NFPA 30

Hazardous Materials Management
8-1
-------
C. State/Local Regulations
Hazardous materials may be regulated on the state level as well as by local agencies
(county/city fire departments) who may require flammable/combustible materials to meet
certain storage requirements. Usually, these local ordinances will follow the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Fire Protection Guide on Hazardous Materials (Pamphlets
325A, 325M, 49, 491F and 704M).
D. Key Compliance Requirements
1. Planning and Documentation
Facilities should maintain a master listing of hazardous materials storage sites. When the
facility needs outside fire protection help, it should tell the local fire department the types of
hazardous chemicals it uses, the areas where it uses them, what it uses them for, and the
amount it uses. Facilities are required to have material safety data sheet (MSDS) files for
each hazardous chemical it stores and uses, not including such items as hazardous waste,
tobacco, or drugs and cosmetics meant for personal use (29 CFR 1910.1200(b) and
1910.1200(g)).
2. Personnel Training
Facilities are required to provide all employees with written information about hazardous
chemicals to which they are exposed. Personnel who work with hazardous materials are
required to be trained in the use of and potential hazards of such materials. All employees
and supervisors working on sites exposed to hazardous materials or other hazards are required
to be trained before engaging in these activities (29 CFR 1910.1200).
3. Hazardous Materials Storage
Containers for hazardous chemicals are required to be labeled or tagged with the identity of
the substance and appropriate warning markings. Areas where hazardous materials are stored
or used around the facility are required to be kept free from accumulations of materials that
create a hazard, such as leaking containers, or a placement of containers in a manner that
would create hazards such as tripping, fire, or pests. Substances that together may create a
fire hazard must separated (29 CFR 1910.176(c), 1910.1200(b) and 1910.1200(0).
4. Hazardous Materials in Laboratories
Facilities that use hazardous chemicals in laboratories are required to have a Chemical
Hygiene Plan which is reviewed annually. Such facilities are also required to provide
employees with information and training about the hazardous chemicals in their work areas.
Records about the exposure of employees are to be kept along with medical records (29 CFR
1910.1450(e), 1910.1450(0, 1910.1450(h), 1910.14500)).
5. Storage of Flammable/Combustibles
In general, containers of flammable combustible liquids are to be stored and handled so as to
not damage the container or label, block exits, or create a fire hazard (29 CFR 1910.106(d)).

prevent the flow of spilled material from exiting the room. Ventilation and clear aisles must
be provided and dispensing must be done by an approved pump or self-closing faucet (29
CFR 1910.106(d)(4)).
8. Flammable/Combustible Warehouses or Storage Buildings
These structures will have 3 ft [0.91 m] wide aisles for access to doors, windows, or
standpipe connections. Materials will be stacked using pallets or dunnage when needed for
stabilization and fire protection must be provided (29 CFR 1910.106(d)(5)(iv)).
9. Outside Storage of Flammable Combustible Liquids
Containers of flammable/combustible liquids can be stored outside-if no more than 1100 gal
[4163.95 L] of liquid are stored adjacent to a building. More than 1100 gal [4163.95 L] can
be stored if there are 10 ft [3.05 m] or more between buildings and the nearest flammable
container. The storage area must be graded to divert spills or surrounded by a curb (29 CFR
1910.106(d)(6)).
10. Storage of Flammable/Combustibles in Industrial Areas
Specific guidelines, requirements, or operating standards apply wherever
flammable/combustible materials are stored, dispensed, or used in industrial plants, are in
incidental storage, or in use in unit operations. This include availability of portable fire
extinguishers, precautions being taken to prevent ignition, and use of maintenance and
operating practices to control leakage and prevent accidental escape of flammable/combustible
liquids (29 CFR 1910.106(e)(2) through 1910.106(e)(9)).
11. Compressed Gases
Regardless of where the cylinders are stored, NO SMOKING signs should be posted and
actions taken to prevent fire. Compressed gases are required to be stored according to the
Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet P-l-1965 (29 CFR 1910.101).
12. Acid Storage

A. Applicability
This section addresses facilities that manufacture, process, store, or otherwise use extremely
hazardous substances (EHSs), as defined in 40 CFR 355, and toxic chemicals, as defined in
40 CFR 372.
Assessors are required to review agency, federal, state, and local regulations in order to
perform a comprehensive assessment.
B. Federal Legislation
1. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA)
This Act, also known as SARA Title III, was designed to promote emergency planning and
preparedness at both the state and local level. It provides citizens, local governments, and
local response authorities with information regarding the potential hazards in their community.
EPCRA requires the use of emergency planning and designates state and local governments as
recipients for information regarding certain chemicals used in the community
2. Executive Order (EO) 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards
This EO, dated 13 October 1978, requires Federally owned and operated facilities to comply
with applicable Federal, state, and local pollution control standards. It makes the head of
each executive agency responsible for seeing to it that the agencies, facilities, programs, and
activities the agency funds meet applicable Federal, state, and local environmental
requirements and for correcting situations that are not in compliance with such requirements.
In addition, the EO requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental
compliance are included in the agency budget.
3. EO 12856, Federal Compliance With Right-to-Know Laws and Pollution Prevention
Requirements
This EO, dated 3 August 1993, requires the heads of Federal agencies to develop a written
pollution prevention strategy for their agencies. The head of each agency shall ensure that
each of its covered facilities develops a written pollution prevention plan no later than the end
of 1995. Federal agencies are required to conduct assessments of their facilities as necessary
to ensure development of these plans and of the facilities pollution prevention program. Each
Federal agency will also develop voluntary goals to reduce the agency's total releases of toxic
chemicals to the environment, and offsite transfers of such chemicals for treatment and
disposal are publicly reported. This also requires federal agencies to comply with the
provisions of EPCRA, since previous to the EO, Federal agencies were exempted from
compliance with EPCRA. As a result of EO 12856, Federal agencies that either own or
operate a "facility", as that term is defined in Section 329(4) of EPCRA, must now comply
with EPCRA is such facility meets the threshold requirements set forth in the regulations.
Phase 1 - Section 9
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know (EPCRA)
9-1
-------
4. Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA)
In 1990, Congress enacted the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) aimed at preventing or
reducing pollution at the source whenever feasible; pollution that cannot be prevented should
be recycled in an environmentally safe manner whenever feasible; pollution that cannot be
prevented or recycled should be treated in an environmentally safe manner whenever feasible;
and disposal or other release into the environment should be employed only as a last resort
and conducted in an environmentally safe manner. The PPA required owners or operators of
facilities required to file an annual toxic chemical release form under EPCRA Section 313 to
also include with each annual filing a toxic chemical source reduction and recycling report for
the preceding calendar year. Not only did EO 12856 require Federal agencies to comply with
the provisions of EPCRA and file TRI reports for those chemicals exceeding thresholds, it
also requires Federal facilities to prepare pollution prevention plans.
C. State/Local Regulations
State and local emergency response agencies may establish more stringent reporting
requirements and may require the use of a state-specific inventory reporting form.
D. Key Compliance Requirements
1. Emergency Planning
A facility with extremely hazardous substances in amounts equal or greater than the limits
found in Appendix 9-1 are required to notify the emergency response commission and
designate a representative to participate in local emergency planning (40 CFR 355.10 through
355.30 and 355 Appendix A).
2. Right-to-Know Requirements
Facilities which are required to prepare or have available a MSDS for a hazardous chemical
under OSHA are required to submit the MSDSs to the emergency commission and the fire
department with jurisdictions over the facility for each hazardous chemical present at the
facility according to the following thresholds by 3 August 1994:
• For all hazardous chemicals present at the facility at any one time in amounts equal to or
greater than 10,000 Ib (4540 kg) (not all hazardous chemicals requiring an MSDS are
listed in Appendix 1-1)
• For all extremely hazardous substances present at the facility in amounts greater than or
equal to 500 Ib (227 kg) or the threshold planning quantity (see Appendix 1-1)
But, instead of submitting the MSDSs, the facility has the option to submit:
• A list of hazardous chemicals for which the MSDS is required, grouped by hazard
category
Phase 1 - Section 9
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know (EPCRA)
9-2
-------
• The chemical or common name of each hazardous chemical
• Any hazardous component of each hazardous chemical except when reporting mixture.
3. Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory Forms
Section 312 of EPCRA requires subject facilities to submit annual "Emergency and Hazardous
Chemical Inventory forms" to the state emergency response commission, the local emergency
planning committee, and the fire department having jurisdiction over the facility. The
inventory form (Tier I) indicates chemical categories, quantities, and locations of chemicals
on site. Additionally, more detailed information may be requested by state agencies, in which
case facilities would submit a Tier II form to emergency response organizations, which
includes more detailed chemical information. The reporting under this requirement does not
include accidental releases or permitted discharges and is specifically targeted toward
chemicals present on site for emergency response planning activities.
4. Toxic Chemical Release Reporting
Section 313 of EPCRA requires annual reporting to the Federal and state governments of all
releases of "toxic materials" (listed at 40 CFR 372.65) to the environment that occur as a
result of normal operations. Facilities subject to this requirement must complete and submit
to EPA and state officials a toxic chemical release form (Form R) for each toxic chemical
manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in quantities exceeding established minimum
threshold values during the preceding calendar year. EO 12856 requires Federal facilities to
comply with Section 313 reporting regardless of the facility's Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) code, if the facility manufactured, processed, or otherwise used a listed
toxic chemical in excess of specified threshold quantities.
5. Release Reporting
Section 304 of EPCRA establishes the reporting requirements for facilities that release any
extremely hazardous substance listed in 40 CFR 355. EPCRA release reporting requirements
apply to any facility where a hazardous chemical is produced, used, or stored and where there
is a release of a reportable quantity of CERCLA hazardous substance (listed at 40 CFR 302)
or any extremely hazardous substance (listed at 40 CFR 355).
E. Key Compliance Definitions
1. Article
A manufactured item: (1) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture;
(2) which has end use functions dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design during
end use; and (3) which does not release a toxic chemical under normal conditions of
processing or use of that item at the facility or establishments (40 CFR 372.3).

where the facility is located in Indian Country, in which case, commission means the
emergency response commission for the Tribe under who jurisdiction the facility is located.
In absence of an emergency response commission, the Governor and the chief executive
officer, respectively, shall be the commission. Where there is a cooperative agreement
between a State and a Tribe, the commission shall be the entity identified in the agreement
(40 CFR 355.20, 370.2).
3. Committee or Local Emergency Planning Committee
The local emergency planning committee appointed by the emergency response commission
(40 CFR 355.20, 370.2).
4. Extremely Hazardous Substance
A substance listed in the Appendices to 40 CFR Part 355, Emergency Planning and
Notification (40 CFR 355.20, 370.2).
5. Facility
All buildings, equipment, structure, and other stationary items that are located on a single site
or on contiguous or adjacent sites and which are owned or operated by the same person (or
by any person which controls, is controlled by, or under common control with, such person).
Facility shall include manmade structures as well as all natural structures in which chemicals
are purposefully placed or removed through human means such that it functions as a
containment structure for human use. For purposes of emergency release notification, the
term includes motor vehicles, rolling stock, and aircraft (40 CFR 355.20, 370.2, 372.3).
6. Hazardous Chemical
Any hazardous chemical as defined under 29 CFR 1910.1200(c), except that such term does
not include the following substances (40 CFR 355.20, 370.2).
Any food, food additive, color additive, drug, or cosmetic regulated by the Food and
Drug Administration.
Any substance present as a solid in any manufactured item to the extent exposure t the
substance does not occur under normal conditions of use.
Any substance to the extent it is used for personal, family, or household purposes, or is
present in the same form and concentration as a product packaged for distribution and use
by the general public.
Any substance to the extent it is used in a research laboratory or a hospital or other
medical facility under the direct supervision of a technically qualified individual.
Any substance to the extent it is used in routine agricultural operations or is fertilizer
held for sale by a retailer to the ultimate customer.

The sheet required to be developed under 29 CFR 1910.1200(g) (40 CFR 370.2).
10. Manufacture
To produce, prepare, import, or compound a toxic chemical. Manufacture also applies to a
toxic chemical that is produced coincidentally during the manufacture, processing, use, or
disposal of another chemical or mixture of chemicals, including a toxic chemical that is
separated from that other chemical or mixture of chemicals as a byproduct, and a toxic
chemical that remains in that other chemical or mixture of chemicals as an impurity (40 CFR
372.3).
11. Management Practice (MP)
Practices that, although not mandated by law, are encouraged to promote safe operating
procedures.
12. Mixture
Any combination of two or more chemicals, if the combination is not, in whole or in part, the
result of a chemical reaction. However, if the combination was produced by a chemical
reaction but could have been produced without a chemical reaction, it is also treated as a
mixture. A mixture is also includes any combination which consists of a chemical and
associated impurities (40 CFR 372.3).
13. Otherwise Use of Use
Any use of a toxic chemical that is not covered by the terms manufacture or process and
includes use of a toxic chemical contained in a mixture or trade name product. Relabeling or
redistributing a container of a toxic chemical where no repackaging of the toxic chemical
occurs does not constitute use or processing of the toxic chemical (40 CFR 372.3).

Consolidated List of Chemicals Covered In Title III of SARA
This consolidated chemical list includes chemicals subject to reporting requirements under Title ffl
of SARA. This consolidated chemical list does not contain all chemicals that are subject to
reporting requirements in Sections 311 and 312 of SARA Tide ffl. These hazardous chemicals,
for which MSDS must be developed under the Occupational Safety and Health Act Hazard
Communication Standards, are identified by broad criteria, rather than enumeration. There are
over 50,000 such substances that meet the criteria. The consolidated list has been prepared to help
determine whether there is a need to submit reports under Section 304 or 313 of Title m and, for a
specific chemical, what reports need to be submitted.
The list includes chemicals under the four following Federal statutory provisions:
1. SARA Section 302 Extremely Hazardous Substances - The presence of which, in sufficient
quantities, requires certain emergency planning activities to be conducted. Releases of these
substances are also subject to reporting under Section 304 of Title ffl. The final rule listing
the extremely hazardous substances and their threshold planning quantities (TPQ), is found in
40 CFR 355.
2. CERCLA Hazardous Substances (RQ) Chemicals - Releases of which are subject to reporting
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA or Superfund) of 1980. Such releases are also subject to reporting under Section
304 of Title HI. CERCLA hazardous substances, and their reportable quantities (RQ), are
listed in 40 CFR Part 302, Table 302.4.
3. SARA Section 313 Toxic Chemicals - Emissions or releases of which must be reported
annually as pan of SARA Tide Ill's community right-to-know provisions. A list of these
toxic chemicals is found in 40 CFR 372.65.
4. RCRA Hazardous Wastes - from the "P" and "U" lists (40 CFR 261.33), of specific
chemicals. RCRA hazardous wastes from the "F" and "K" lists are not included here; such
waste streams are also CERCLA hazardous substances. This listing is provided as an
indicator that you may already have data on a specific chemical that can be used for Tide in
reporting purposes.
There are four columns in the consolidated list corresponding to these four statutory provisions. If
a chemical is listed as an extremely hazardous substance under Section 302, its TPQ is given in the
extremely hazardous substance column. Similarly, the CERCLA RQ is given for those chemicals
that are listed as hazardous substances. A key to the symbols used in the Section 302 and
CERCLA columns precedes the list An "X" in the column for Section 313 indicates that the
chemical is subject to reporting under Section 313.
The letter-and-digit code in the column for 40 CFR 261.33 is the chemical's RCRA hazardous
waste code. A blank in any of these columns indicates that the chemical is not subject to the
corresponding statutory authorities.
The Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number is provided for each chemical on the list

A. Applicability
This section applies to facilities that utilize storage tanks and pipelines, whether aboveground
or underground, for the storage and/or conveyance of hazardous materials, petroleum
products, or hazardous waste. The section presents review action items for emissions from
tanks, structural concerns, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements.
Assessors are required to review agency, and state and local regulations in order to perform a
comprehensive assessment.
B. Federal Legislation
1. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitles I and C
Subtitle I, Public Law (PL) 99-49 (42 U.S. Code (USC) 6991-699H), established the
standards and procedures for underground storage tanks(UST). It required the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to issue standards on leak detection, record
maintenance, release reporting, corrective actions, tank upgrading, and replacement (42 USC
6991b(a)(c)). Subtitle C, PL 98-616 (42 USC 6921-6939b) establishes standards and
procedures for the handling, storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste. Specifically,
RCRA prohibits the placement of bulk or noncontainerized liquid hazardous waste or free
liquids containing hazardous waste into a landfill.
2. The Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 1990
This Act (PL 101-549; 42 USC 7401-767 Iq), is currently the effective, comprehensive
Federal legislation that regulates the prevention and control of air pollution. See the Air
Pollution Control checklist for further information on the CAA.
3. Clean Water Act of 1977
The Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1977 established a program to regulate certain
nontransportation related aboveground and belowground oil storage tanks that have the
potential to release oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States adjoining
shorelines.
4. The Federal Facilities Compliance Act (FFCA) of 1992
This act provides for a waiver of sovereign immunity with respect to federal, state, and local
procedural and substantive requirements relating to RCRA.
5. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
This Act, last amended in November 1990 (29 USC 651-678), is a federal statute which
governs the issues related to occupational safety and health. The purpose and policy of this
Phase 1 - Section 11
Storage Tank Management
11-1
-------
Act are to assure every working man and woman in the nation safe and healthful working
condition and to preserve our human resources by, among other things, providing for the
development and publication of occupational safety and health standards, providing for an
effective enforcement program, and providing for appropriate reporting procedures with
respect to occupational safety and health which procedures will help achieve the objectives of
this Act and accurately describe the nature of the occupational safety and health (29 USC
6. Executive Order (EO) 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards
This EO, dated 13 October 1978, requires Federally owned and operated facilities to comply
with applicable Federal, state, and local pollution control standards. It makes the head of each
executive agency responsible for seeing to it that the agencies, facilities, programs, and
activities the agency funds meet applicable Federal, state, and local environmental
requirements or for correcting situations that are not in compliance with such requirements. In
addition, the EO requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental
compliance are included in the agency budget.
C. State/Local Requirements
Since the primary mechanisms regulating air pollutant emissions are the state or air quality
control region (AQCR) regulations, some states and/or municipalities may be regulating
emissions from storage vessels.
Many state and local governments have active UST programs. These various governments
have developed regulations specific to the physical environment and the regulated
communities' needs. It is important to review regulations at the state and local level to ensure
that any differences such as permitting, reporting or notification requirements, and monitoring
requirements are complied with.
0. Key Compliance Requirements
1. Aboveground Storage Tanks (AST)
All bulk storage tanks are required to be provided with a secondary means of containment for
the entire contents of the largest single tank, plus sufficient freeboard to allow for
precipitation. ASTs are required to undergo periodic integrity testing and keep a written log
of this testing. Drainage of rainwater from diked areas must be controlled by a valve that is
closed when not in active use. Drainage water that is determined to contain petroleum
products in harmful quantities must be treated before discharge to meet applicable water
quality standards (40 CFR 112.7(e)(l) through 112.7(e)(2)).

8. Spill and Overfill Prevention for USTs
The filling of a UST must include the prevention of overfilling and spilling of the substance.
If a spill does occur, facilities with UST systems are required to contain and immediately
clean up a spill or overfill and report it to the implementing agency within 24 hours if (40
CFR 280.30, 280.53):
a. Spills or overfills of petroleum that resulted in a release to the environment of more than
25 gal [93.89 L] or that caused a sheen on nearby surface water.
b. Spills or overfills of hazardous substances that result in a release to the environment in
excess of the reportable quantity.
9. Corrosion Protection and Repairs for USTs
Corrosion protection on USTs must operate continuously to provide corrosion protection to
the metal components that routinely contain regulated substances and are in contact with the
ground. UST systems with impressed current cathodic protection are required to be inspected
every 60 days by a qualified cathodic protection tester. Repairs to USTs must be performed
according to industry code. Tanks and piping that have been replaced or repaired are required
to be tested for tightness within 30 days. Records of repairs shall be maintained for the life of
the tank (40 CFR 280.31, 280.33, 280.43, and 280.44).
10. Release Detection for USTs
Facilities with new and existing USTs are required to provide a method, or combination of
methods of release detection. Release detection requirements in 40 CFR 280.40 through
280.45 do not apply to USTs which store fuel solely for use by emergency power generators.

11. Release Detection for Underground Piping Associated with UST Systems
40 CFR 280, Subpart D establishes separate release detection requirements for underground
piping depending on whether it conveys substances under pressure or suction. These include:
a. Pressurized piping may be equipped with an automatic line leak detector and have an
annual line tightness test conducted; or pressurized piping may be equipped with an
automatic line leak detector and a permanent release detection system that allows
monthly monitoring. Permanent release detection methods acceptable for piping include:
vapor monitoring, interstitial monitoring, and groundwater monitoring. The deadline for
implementing release detection requirements on pressurized piping was 22 December
1990.
Phase 1 - Section 11
Storage Tank Management
11-5
-------
b. Suction piping either may have a line tightness test conducted every 3 years or may use a
permanent release detection system that allows monthly monitoring. Deadlines for
implementing release detection requirements on suction piping are based on when the
UST system was installed. The table above identifies the deadline for providing release
detection. For suction piping constructed to certain standards, no release detection
monitoring is required. It must meet five criteria:
(1) Below-grade piping must operate at less than atmospheric pressure
(2) Below-grade piping must be sloped to drain back into the tank when suction is
released
(3) Only one check valve can be included in each suction line
(4) The check valve is located directly below and as close as practical to the suction
pump
(5) Criteria in paragraphs b through d must be verifiable.
b. Corrosion expert's analysis of site corrosion potential if corrosion protection equipment is
not used.
c. Documentation of operation of corrosion protection equipment.
d. Documentation of repairs.
e. Closure records.
f. Results of any site investigations (40 CFR 280.34. 280.45, and 280.74).
12. Change in Service or Closure of USTs
USTs which are put out of service temporarily must have continued maintenance. If the UST
has been out-of-service for near or over 1 year, plans must be made for permanent closure.
The facility must notify the implementing agency for any closure or change in service 30
days in advance or within a reasonable time frame as determined by the implementing
agency. UST closure must be done by either removing the tank from the ground or leaving it
in place with the contents removed and filled with an inert solid material and closing it to all
future outside access. If a tank is undergoing a change-in-service, it must be emptied and
cleaned and a site assessment conducted. Prior to the completion of permanent closure or
change-in-service, measurements must be made for the presence of a release where
contamination is most likely to be present at the site. Facilities with UST systems closed prior
to 22 December 1988 must assess the excavation zone and close the UST according to current
standards if releases from the UST may pose a current or potential threat to human health and
the environment (40 CFR 280.70 through 280.73).

13. Hazardous Waste Storage Tanks
Storage tanks are one storage option that facilities which produce or store hazardous waste
can use. The storage tank requirements are based on whether the facility is a small quantity
generator (SQG), a Generator, or a treatment, storage or disposal facility (TSDF). Refer to the
sections titled Hazardous Waste Management for more details on the definitions of these
classifications.
14. Flammable Combustible Liquid Storage Tanks
Storage tanks that hold flammable/combustible liquids must not be below ground or inside
buildings. They are to be built of steel except in certain circumstances. Outside aboveground
tanks for flammable liquids are to meet requirements for distance between tanks, ftrefighting
access, and containment. When flammable vapor may be present from storage tanks, heat
sources will be kept from the tanks. Tanks are required to have been strength tested before
being used (29 CFR 1910.106(b)).
15. Onshore Oil Pipelines
Facilities with onshore oil pipelines that, because of location, could reasonably be expected to
cause substantial harm to the environment by discharging oil into navigable waters are
required to prepare a response plan. Copies of the response plan are required to be submitted
to the USEPA Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) for approval. Copies
of the response plan are required to be kept at the operators headquarters, pump stations, and
other places where response activities might be conducted. Training is required for the
implementation of the response plan. The response plan is required to be reviewed every 3
years from the date of submission and modified to address new or different operating
conditions or information (49 CFR 194).
16. Service Stations
The storage of liquids at service stations, specifically Class I liquids, has to be done in
containers that are secure and which prevent excess release of vapors (29 CFR 1910.106(g)).
17. Transfer Terminals
Terminals transferring oil or hazardous materials to vessels with a capacity of more than 250
bbl [30,746.83 L] are required to have an operations manual. If the reception facility at the
terminal or port loads a daily average of more than 1000 metric tons (1100 short tons) of oil,
it has to be able to receive waste such as oily bilge water, sludge, oily ballast, and cargo
residue (33 CFR 154.100 through 154.300 and 158.220 through 158.230).
