Section 3i3 of Title III is important. Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency ABD00048159 * Report Toxic Chemical A New Law Under a new federal law, certain busi nesses are now required to submit reports each year on the amounts of chemicals their facilities release into the environment, either routinely or as a result of accidents. The purpose of this report ing requirement is to inform government officials and the public about releases of toxic chemicals into the environment and to promote and encour age waste minimization efforts. Section 313 requires facilities to report releases to air; water, and land. The reports must be sent to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and to designated state agencies. The first annual report, for the 1987 calendar year, is due by July ^ 1988. Those who fail to report as required are Subject to civil penalties of up to $25,000 a day. EPA has prepared this brochure to alert busi nesses to their reporting obligations under Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), and to help you determine whether your facility is cov ered under the new law. If you are covered, this brochure will also help you prepare to meet your reporting obligations. If you are uncertain whether you are covered, it will tell you how to get assistance. The proposed Toxic Chemical Release Inven tory rule under Section 313 was published in the Federal Register on June 4, 1987. The target date for the final rule is December 31, 1987. 1 Who Must Report A plant, factory, or other facility comes under the provisions of Section 313: If it conducts manufacturing operations (that is, if it is included in Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes 20 through 39, listed on page 5); If,-in addition, it has 10 or more full time employees; and If, in addition to the above, it manufactures, imports, processes, or in any other way uses any of the toxic chemicals listed on pages 13-20 in amounts greater than the "threshold" quantities specified below. At present, 309 individual chemicals and 20 categories of chemicals are covered. The list may be changed in future years. Thresholds Thresholds are volumes of chemicals that trigger reporting requirements. If you manufacture, import, or process any of the listed toxic chemicals, the threshold quan tity will be: 75,000 pounds during calendar year 1987; 50,000 pounds in 1988; and 25,000 pounds in 1989 and subsequent years. If you use any listed chemical in any other way (without incorporating it into any product or 2 ABD00048160 ft producing il at the facility), the threshold quantity is: 10,000 pounds in calendar year 1987 and in subsequent years. What is meant by the terms "manufacture" "process" or "otherwise use"? Manufacture--means to produce, prepare, import or compound one of the chemicals on the list. For example, if you make a dye for clothing by taking raw materials and reacting them, you are manu facturing the dye. You would also be covered if you were a textile manufacturer who imported a dye on the list for purposes of applying it to fabric produced at your plant. Process--in general, includes making mixtures, repackaging, or using a chemical as a feedstock, raw material, or starting material for making another chemical. Pro cessing also includes incorporat ing a chemical into an article (e.g., using dyes to color fabric [the fab ric is the article that the dye is being incorporated into]). Examples of processing include: The use of a solvent as a chain transfer agent in the making of solution poly mers (e g., certain resins used in paints and coatings); Using a chemical as an intermediate in the manufacture of a pesticide (e.g.. using chemical A to make chemical B). Otherwise Use--applies to any use of a toxic chemical at a cov ered facility that is not covered by the terms "manufacture" or "pro cess" and includes use of a toxic chemical contained in a mixture or trade name product. Examples include: Using chlorine as a biocide in plant cooling water, Using trichloroethylene to degrease tools; Using chlorine in waste water treatment. Warehouses on the same site as covered facilities are covered at the threshold levels given above. Stand-alone warehouses are not currently covered. How to Report For each facility covered by Section 313, you must annually submit a report by July 1 of toxic chemical releases during the previous calen dar year The first reports, covering releases dur ing calendar year 1987, are due by July 1, 1988. EPA is developing a reporting form (EPA Form R) with instructions, and technical guidance on how to calculate toxic chemical releases or emissions from your facility. Draft versions of the two documents are available now; final versions will be ready by January 1988. Copies of the draft reporting form and technical guidance can be ordered by calling the Section 313 hotline or EPA regional offices listed on pages 10-12. You are not required to measure or monitor releases for purposes of Section 313 reporting. You may use readily available data to report the quantities of chemicals that you use and the amounts released into the environment. If you have no data available, the law permits you to report reasonable estimates. EPA's technical guidance on calculating releases can help you in making estimates. This guidance will be available in January from the sources shown on pages 10-12. 4 ABD00048161 SIC Groups Subject to Section 313 SIC Industry Group 20 Food 21 Tobacco 22 Textiles 23 Apparel 24 Lumber and Wood 25 Furniture 26 Paper 27 Printing and Publishing 28 Chemicals 29 Petroleum and Coal 30 Rubber and Plastics 31 Leather 32 Stone, Clay, and Glass 33 Primary Metals 34 Fabricated Metals 35 Machinery (Excluding Electrical) 36 Electrical and Electronic Equipment 37 Transportation Equipment 38 Instruments 39 Miscellaneous Manufacturing For more information on SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) codes, please consult "Standard Industrial Classification Manual 1987,* available from: National Technical Information Service 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161 Phone: (703) 487-4650 5 What You Must Report You must report the following information for each listed chemical manufactured, imported, processed, or used at your facility in yearly amounts which exceed the threshold: The name and location of your facility; Whether you manufacture, import, or process the chemical, or use it in . any other way; m The maximum quantity of the chemical on site at any time during the year; The total quantity of the chemical released during the year, including both accidental spills and routine emissions -- separate estimates must be provided for releases to air, water, and land (e.g., deep well injection, permitted landfill); Off-site locations to which you shipped wastes containing the chemical and the quantities of that chemical sent to those locations; and Treatment or disposal methods used for wastes containing the chemical and estimates of their efficiency for each chemical (efficiency of treatment methods used on site). ABD00048162 For purposes of Section 313, a release is defined as any spilling, leaking, pumping, pour ing, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment (including the abandonment or discarding of barrels, containers, and other closed receptacles) of any "toxic chemical" (i.e., any of the chemicals on pages 13-20). For each release estimate, you will be required to indicate the principal method by which the quantity was derived. The methods include monitoring data, mass balance, emission factors, and other approaches such as engineering calculations. For example, if 40 percent of stack emissions were derived using monitoring data, 30 percent by mass balance, and 30 percent by emis sion factors, monitoring data would be the princi pal method used to arrive at the estimate. Public Access to Reports The law requires facilities covered by Sec- tion 313 to send toxic chemical release reports both to EPA and to the state in which the facility is located. At EPA, the Office of Toxic Substances will be responsible for receiving and processing the data. EPA is required by law to make the data in the reports available to the public through a com puter database. (You can claim the chemical iden tity to be a trade secret, but you must justify the claim to EPA.) The database is intended to help answer citizens' questions about chemical releases in their community. The users of the data are also likely to include researchers from government or universities conducting environmental analyses. EPA expects to use the data in a variety of ways, including targetting problem pollution areas and as a screening tool for developing standards and regulations. What You Can Do Now You can begin planning now to make com- pliance with Section 313 as easy and inexpensive as possible. The steps are as follows: Q] If you have 10 or more full-time employees, check the SIC code list on page 5 to determine ABD00048163 ft whether your facility is covered. (If you cannot tell from the list, any CPA regional office can pro* vide more detail.) (D Check the list of toxic chemicals covered by Section 313 (pages 13*20) to see if any are manufac tured, imported, processed, or in any other way used by your facil ity. If you are not certain whether a chemigal you handle is on the list, contact your suppliers of for mulations, mixtures, and tradename products/mixtures. Your trade association or the nearest EPA regional office can also help you. SI Determine whether you handle any chemical on the list in an amount greater than the thresh olds on pages 2-3. S] If you meet the criteria, review the draft reporting form and instructions. Try to work up some estimates. S) Begin to keep records that would be useful in estimating releases. If you are not subject, simply document this determination; no report needs to be filed. You should designate someone at your facil ity to be responsible for reporting under Section 313. That person should obtain reporting forms and instructions and should be aware of the first reporting deadline: July 1, 1988. Copies of the draft forms and instructions can be obtained by calling the EPA regional offices listed on pages 10-12.
