Pulp and paper mills are subject to a section of the CAA that states that stationary sources using extremely hazardous substances have a general duty to initiate specific activities to prevent and mitigate accidental releases. The general duty requirements apply to stationary sources that produce, process, handle, or store these substances, regardless of the quantity. The general duty clause requires facilities to identify hazards that may result from accidental releases, to design and maintain a safe facility, and to minimize the consequences of releases when they occur. 

Emergency planning. Businesses that produce, use, or store hazardous substances must (a) submit material safety data sheets or the equivalent and (b) file annual inventory report forms to the appropriate local emergency planning commission. Those handling extremely hazardous substances are also required to submit a one-time notice to the state emergency response commission.

OSHA relied on several established lists-including the New Jersey Toxic Catastrophe Prevention Act (TCPA), the Delaware Extremely Hazardous Substances Risk Management Act, the European Communities Seveso Directive (82/501/EEC), and NFPA Hazardous Chemicals Data (NFPA 49)-to develop its list of highly hazardous chemicals. OSHA chose to list the chemicals classified as reactive category 3 or 4 in NFPA 49 (1975 edition). 

GDC applies to all stationary sources (fixed facilities) that handle, produce, process, or store regulated substances or extremely hazardous substances (EHS)47. It obligates facilities to identify and safely manage all hazards, including reactive hazards. Similar to OSHA, EPA can use its GDC enforcement authority to create legally binding requirements or enforce actions for hazards that have not been properly identified or managed.
