Superfund Amendments Reauthorization

Provides information about all RCRA regulations and programs including the Resource Conseiwation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, or Superfund) and Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)/Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III. Operates weekdays from 9 00 a.m. to 6 00 p.m., EST, excluding Federal holidays. Sendees are also available in Spanish. 

Releases of chlorine dioxide are required to be reported under Superfund Amendment Reauthorization Act (SARA) Section 313 consequently, data are available for this compound in the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) (EPA 1995). According to the TRI, a total of 1,021,346 pounds (463,275 kg) of chlorine dioxide was released to the environment in 2000 (TRIOO 2002). The TRI data should be used with caution because only certain types of facilities are required to report. This is not an exhaustive list. 

The Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act (SARA) was passed in 1986 and made two major changes to the original CERCLA. First, it established the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) in Title III second, it increased spending for Superfund sites to 8.5 billion and provided new cleanup standards that use the best available technologies (Rosenbaum, 1995).

Dibenz[fl, ] anthracene is listed in section 112 of the Clean Air Act listed under sections 304 and 307 of the Clean Water Act listed as an RCRA hazardous waste U063. Dibenz[a, ]anthracene is regulated under comprehensive environmental response, compensation, and liability act (CERCLA) with a reportable quantity (RQ) of 1 pound. It is listed as an emergency planning and community right-to-know act (EPCRA) superfund amendments reauthorization act (SARA) 313 reportable substance. 

The PPA also included specific source reduction actions in conjunction with the businesses required to file an annual toxic chemical release form under the Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act. The additional toxic chemical source reduction and recycling report documents the amount of the chemical entering the waste stream, the amount that is recycled, and efforts to reduce source use. In turn, EPA is required to provide a detailed evaluation report of the source reduction program to Congress every 2 years. 

The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) Tide III requires emergency planning based on threshold planning quantities (TPQ) and release reporting based on RQs in 40 CER part 355 (used for SARA 302, 303, and 304). The TPQ for acrolein is 500 lb (227 kg), and its RQ is 1 lb (0.454 kg). SARA also requires submission of aimual reports of release of toxic chemicals that appear on the Hst in 40 CER 372.65 (for SARA 313). Acrolein appears on that Hst. This information must be included in all MSDSs that are copied and distributed for acrolein. 

There are three types of TAP emissions continuous, intermittent, and accidental. Both routine emissions associated with a batch process or a continuous process that is operated only occasionally can be intermittent sources. A dramatic example of an accidental emission was the release of methyl isocyanate [624-83-9] in Bhopal, India. As a result of this accident, the U.S. Congress created Tide III, a free-standing statute included in the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986. Title III provides a mechanism by which the pubHc can be informed of the existence, quantities, and releases of toxic substances, and requires the states to develop plans to respond to accidental releases of these substances. Eurther, it requires anyone releasing specific toxic chemicals above a certain threshold amount to aimuaHy submit a toxic chemical release form to EPA. At present, there are 308 specific chemicals subject to Title III regulation (37).

Thiophene and 3-methylthiophene are Hsted on the TSCA chemical substances inventory. Thiophene is regulated as a hazardous material under OSHA and also regulated under the Clean Air Act, Section 110, 40 CFR 60.489, but there are no exposure limits or controls set for 3-methylthiophene. Both materials are regulated under sections 311/312 of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, 1986 (SARA), as materials with an acute health and fire hazard, and under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as ignitable hazardous wastes (DOOl). 

All four butanols are registered ia the United States on the Environmental Protection Agency Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory, a prerequisite for the manufacture or importation for commercial sale of any chemical substance or mixture ia quantities greater than a 1000 pounds (454 kg). Additionally, the manufacture and distribution of the butanols ia the United States are regulated under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), Section 313, which requires that anyone handling at least 10,000 pounds (4545 kg) a year of a chemical substance report to both the EPA and the state any release of that substance to the environment.

This chapter addresses the potential for hazardous air emissions from environmental remediation sites. These emissions can occur at hazardous spill locations, at undisturbed remediation sites, and during cleanup of remediation sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) or the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). Air emissions may pose a potential health risk at these sites.

The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 reauthorized CERCLA to continue cleanup activities around the country. Several site-specific amendments, definitions, clarifications, and technical requirements were added to the legislation, including additional enforcement authorities. Title HI of SARA also authorized the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). 

Section 6607(c) of the Pollution Prevention Act provides enforcement autliority under Title 111 of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act).
