                            Questions and Answers
SUPERFUND

Q: CERCLA §103(a) and 40 CFR §302.6(a)
require that any person in charge of a
facility must immediately notify the National
Response Center (NRC) as soon as he or she
has knowledge of a release of a hazardous
substance from the facility in a quantity
equal to or exceeding the reportable
quantity (RQ) in any 24-hour period. Must
the person in charge of a facility notify the
NRC if contaminated soil containing an RQ
amount or more of a hazardous substance is
moved from one location to another on-site
location?

A: Moving a hazardous substances that is
already on or in the ground to another
location in the environment is a release. If
an RQ amount or more of a hazardous
substance is released in any 24-hour period,
the person in charge of the facility must
immediately notify the NRC (40 CFR
§302.6(a)). There is no exemption from the
release notification requirements for a
hazardous substance that was previously
released onto the ground if the substance is
subsequently moved and released at another
on-site location. For example, moving a
hazardous substance located on or in the
ground at a CERCLA National Priorities
List  (NPL) site to another location at the site
technically constitutes a release and must be
reported to the NRC if the release is in an
amount equal to or exceeding an RQ.
TRI

Q: If a TRI submission included an incorrect
toxic chemical identity, may the facility
submit a revision with the correct toxic
chemical identity?

A: No, if a facility reported the wrong
chemical identity on a Form R or Form A,
the facility must withdraw its submission
with the incorrect toxic chemical name and
submit a new Form R or Form A with the
correct toxic chemical identity. The facility
may not submit a revision to correct the
toxic chemical identity.

RMP

Q: If an RMP covered facility replaces a
storage tank that is a covered process with a
new tank containing the same regulated
substance, is this considered to be a
modification of an existing process, or a new
process?

A: Assuming the new tank contains the
same substance and occupies the same
location as the previous tank, this would
generally be considered a modification to an
existing process.

"Community Right-to-Know; Toxic

 North American  Industry
 Classification System (NAICS); Final
 Rule"
 June 6, 2006 (71 FR 32464)

 EPA announced that beginning with
reporting year 2006 (RY06), facilities must
refer to North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes to
determine TRI reporting applicability
instead of the previously used Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.
Additionally, facilities will be required to
report their primary and secondary NAICS
codes.  Because the SIC and NAICS systems
differ in the way they assign codes to
auxiliary establishments, EPA changed its
interpretation of the applicability of TRI
