CHEMICAL RELEASE DOCUMENTATION

Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) - Form R and Form A

What is the SARA Title III - Form R?
A Form R report must be filed to the EPA (EPCRA Reporting Center) and the appropriate state agency for each Section 313 toxic chemical manufactured or processed in excess of 25,000 pounds during the course of a calendar year and for any toxic chemical otherwise used in quantities exceeding 10,000 pounds, if the facility has 10 or more full-time employees and is included in a specified Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code.

What is the SARA Title III - Form A?
The Form A is a simplified form of reporting and is intended as a means to reduce the compliance burden. The Form A must be submitted on an annual basis for each eligible chemical. If a facility meets the requirements for a Form A, they only have to file a Form A and not a Form R. A Form A report applies to facilities do not exceed a total annual reportable amount of 500 pounds and the amount manufactured, processed, or otherwise used does not exceed one million pounds.

The term "manufacture" means to produce, prepare, compound, or import an EPCRA Section 313 chemical. The term "process" means the preparation of a listed Section 313 chemical, after its manufacture, for distribution in commerce. "Otherwise use" means any use of an EPCRA 313 chemical, including an EPCRA Section 313 chemical contained in a mixture or other trade name product, or waste that is not covered by the terms of "manufacture" or "process".

Tier II Reporting

What is Tier II Reporting?
Tier II reporting is a federal requirement and is part of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) i.e. Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act. Its purpose is to identify the amount and location of hazardous materials stored at your facility. If the plant maintains the level of hazardous materials required to meet the reporting threshold, you must submit the appropriate Tier II forms each year by the specified deadline. The reporting requirements vary depending on the hazardous material.

Liaise Tier II Reporting Services
We will evaluate the hazardous materials being stored at your facility and determine whether or not they trigger the reporting requirements. If so, we will gather all necessary storage information and submit all appropriate forms before the annual deadline to the appropriate regulatory agency.

If your facility requires Tier II reporting, Liaise would be happy to provide you with a free proposal.

CERCLA Continuous Release Reporting

What is CERCLA Continuous Release Reporting?
Releases of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), EPCRA designated extremely hazardous substances (EHSs), and CERCLA hazardous substances not specifically regulated under a federally enforceable permit must be reported to the National Response Center (NRC), the State Emergency Response Commissions (SERC), and the Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC) if they are released in quantities over the reporting threshold. If the release is "continuous" and "stable in quantity and rate", then a continuous release report can be filed, instead of reporting each time a release occurs.

Liaise CERCLA Continuous Release Reporting Services
Liaise will assess your process to determine whether release reporting is required and whether a continuous release report would be advantageous. If required, Liaise will assist you in submitting the required reports to the EPA. If your facility requires assistance in evaluating CERCLA Continuous Release Reporting, Liaise would be happy to provide you with a free proposal.
