CERCLA: Hazardous substance release notification
  • A person must immediately notify the NRC in the event of a release into the environment that exceeds an RQ.
  • There are five specific conditions that must be met to trigger the CERCLA requirement for notifying the NRC.

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) 103 and 40 CFR 302, a person must immediately notify the National Response Center (NRC) in the event of a release into the environment that exceeds a reportable quantity (RQ). Both the law and regulation address these notification requirements and exemptions.
