To improve efficiency and eliminate redundancy, this final rule streamlines the Hazardous Materials Regulations by modifying how hazardous substances are listed. Instead of maintaining a duplicative list, the regulations will now rely on the authoritative, comprehensive list already maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

DATES: Effective December 2, 2026.

§171.8 Definitions and abbreviations.

* * * *

Hazardous substance for the purposes of this subchapter, means a material, including its mixtures and solutions, that—

(1) Is listed in Appendix A to §172.101 of this subchapter;

(2) Is in a quantity, in one package, which equals or exceeds the reportable quantity (RQ) listed in Appendix A to §172.101 of this subchapter; and

(3) When in a mixture or solution—

(i) For radionuclides, conforms to paragraph 7 of Appendix A to §172.101.

(ii) For other than radionuclides, is in a concentration by weight which equals or exceeds the concentration corresponding to the RQ of the material, as shown in the following table:

RQ pounds (kilograms) Concentration by weight
Percent PPM
5000 (2270) 10 100,000
1000 (454) 2 20,000
100(45.4) 0.2 2,000
10 (4.54) 0.02 200
1 (0.45) 0.002 20

The term does not include petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof which is not otherwise specifically listed or designated as a hazardous substance in Appendix A to §172.101 of this subchapter, and the term does not include natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas).

* * * * *

Reportable quantity (RQ) for the purposes of this subchapter, means the quantity specified in Column 2 of Table 1 or Column 3 of Table 2 of Appendix A to §172.101 for any material identified in Column 1 of the tables.

Appendix A to §172.101—List of hazardous substances and reportable quantities

1. This Appendix lists materials and their corresponding reportable quantities (RQs) that are listed or designated as “hazardous substances” under section 101(14) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601(14) (CERCLA; 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq). This listing fulfills the requirement of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9656 (a), that all “hazardous substances,” as defined in 42 U.S.C. 9601 (14), be listed and regulated as hazardous materials under 49 U.S.C. 5101-5127. That definition includes substances listed under sections 311(b)(2)(A) and 307(a) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(2)(A) and 1317(a), section 3001 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6921, and Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7412. In addition, this list contains materials that the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency has determined to be hazardous substances in accordance with section 102 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9602. It should be noted that 42 U.S.C. 9656(b) provides that common and contract carriers may be held liable under laws other than CERCLA for the release of a hazardous substance as defined in that Act, during transportation that commenced before the effective date of the listing and regulating of that substance as a hazardous material under 49 U.S.C. 5101-5127.

2.This Appendix is divided into two TABLES which are entitled “TABLE 1– HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OTHER THAN RADIONUCLIDES” and “TABLE 2–RADIONUCLIDES.” A material listed in this Appendix is regulated as a hazardous material and a hazardous substance under this subchapter if it meets the definition of a hazardous substance in §171.8 of this subchapter.

3. The procedure for selecting a proper shipping name for a hazardous substance is set forth in §172.101(c).

4. Column 1 of TABLE 1, entitled “Hazardous substance”, contains the names of those elements and compounds that are hazardous substances. Following the listing of elements and compounds is a listing of waste streams. These waste streams appear on the list in numerical sequence and are referenced by the appropriate “D”, “F”, or “K” numbers. Column 2 of TABLE 1, entitled “Reportable quantity (RQ)”, contains the reportable quantity (RQ), in pounds and kilograms, for each hazardous substance listed in Column 1 of TABLE 1.

5. A series of notes is used throughout TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 to provide additional information concerning certain hazardous substances. These notes are explained at the end of each TABLE.

6. TABLE 2 lists radionuclides that are hazardous substances and their corresponding RQ’s. The RQ’s in TABLE 2 for radionuclides are expressed in units of curies and terabecquerels, whereas those in TABLE 1 are expressed in units of pounds and kilograms. If a material is listed in both TABLE 1 and TABLE 2, the lower RQ shall apply. Radionuclides are listed in alphabetical order. The RQs for radionuclides are given in the radiological unit of measure of curie, abbreviated “Ci”, followed, in parentheses, by an equivalent unit measured in terabecquerels, abbreviated “TBq”.

7. For mixtures of radionuclides, the following requirements shall be used in determining if a package contains an RQ of a hazardous substance: (i) if the identity and quantity (in curies or terabecquerels) of each radionuclide in a mixture or solution is known, the ratio between the quantity per package (in curies or terabecquerels) and the RQ for the radionuclide must be determined for each radionuclide. A package contains an RQ of a hazardous substance when the sum of the ratios for the radionuclides in the mixture or solution is equal to or greater than one; (ii) if the identity of each radionuclide in a mixture or solution is known but the quantity per package (in curies or terabecquerels) of one or more of the radionuclides is unknown, an RQ of a hazardous substance is present in a package when the total quantity (in curies or terabecquerels) of the mixture or solution is equal to or greater than the lowest RQ of any individual radionuclide in the mixture or solution; and (iii) if the identity of one or more radionuclides in a mixture or solution is unknown (or if the identity of a radionuclide by itself is unknown), an RQ of a hazardous substance is present when the total quantity (in curies or terabecquerels) in a package is equal to or greater than either one curie or the lowest RQ of any known individual radionuclide in the mixture or solution, whichever is lower.

¢ The RQ for these hazardous substances is limited to those pieces of the metal having a diameter smaller than 100 micrometers (0.004 inches).
¢¢ The RQ for asbestos is limited to friable forms only.
@Indicates that the name was added by PHMSA because (1) the name is a synonym for a specific hazardous substance and (2) the name appears in the Hazardous Materials Table as a proper shipping name.
# To provide consistency with EPA regulations, two entries with different CAS numbers are provided. Refer to the EPA Table 302.4—List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities for an explanation of the two entries.

Table 2—Radionuclides
(1)-Radionuclide (2)-Atomic Number (3)-Reportable Quantity (RQ) Ci(TBq)
§ The RQs for all radionuclides apply to chemical compounds containing the radionuclides and elemental forms regardless of the diameter of pieces of solid material.
† The RQ of one curie applies to all radionuclides not otherwise listed. Whenever the RQs in Table 1—HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES OTHER THAN RADIONUCLIDES and this table conflict, the lowest RQ shall apply. For example, uranyl acetate and uranyl nitrate have RQs shown in TABLE 1 of 100 pounds, equivalent to about one-tenth the RQ level for unanium-238 in this table.
** The method to determine RQs for mixtures or solutions of radionuclides can be found in paragraph 7 of the note preceding TABLE 1 of this appendix. RQs for the following four common radionuclide mixtures are provided: radium-226 in secular equilibrium with its daughters (0.053 curie); natural uranium (0.1 curie); natural uranium in secular equilibrium with its daughters (0.052 curie); and natural thorium in secular equilibrium with its daughters (0.011 curie).
*** Indicates that the name was added by PHMSA because it appears in the list of radionuclides in 49 CFR 173.435. The reportable quantity (RQ), if not specifically listed elsewhere in this appendix, shall be determined in accordance with the procedures in paragraph 7 of this appendix.

EHS Monthly Round Up - July 2026

EHS Monthly Round Up - July 2026

In this July 2026 monthly roundup video, we'll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the monthly news roundup video, where we’ll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news. Let’s take a look at what happened over the past month.

OSHA published its 2026 regulatory agenda on July 3. Of note, the agency projects an April 2027 date for the Emergency Response final rule, and the Heat Illness proposal is slated to be finalized in October 2027. In November 2026, OSHA also expects to publish a final rule addressing the use of subpoenas during investigations.

OSHA reopened the comment period for 14 chemical-specific proposals. This allows the public 30 days to comment on recommendations made by OSHA’s Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health.

OSHA updated its Voluntary Protection Programs, which recognize workplaces with strong safety and health programs and low injury rates. The changes align with the seven core elements in the agency’s Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration withdrew 4 regulations that it says address outdated effective dates and requirements for various industry equipment and procedures. These relate to conveyor belts, blacksmith shops, diesel emission limits, and permissible flame safety lamps.

Turning to environmental news, EPA released detailed instructions and deadlines for pesticide registrants to begin compliance with the bilingual labeling requirements in the My PeST application. The first compliance deadline was July 31.

EPA aligned regulations under EPCRA Sections 311 and 312 with OSHA’s Hazard Communication amendments for hazardous chemical reporting requirements. Facilities must use OSHA’s hazard classes with their categories for safety data sheet submissions and hazardous chemical inventory reports required under EPCRA Sections 311 and 312.

And finally, EPA published its 2026 regulatory agenda on July 3. Many of the proposed and final rules support the agency’s continued deregulatory efforts and may impact regulatory compliance with air, land, and water rules.

Thanks for tuning in to the monthly news roundup. We’ll see you next month!

EHS Monthly Round Up - February 2026

EHS Monthly Round Up - February 2026

In this Februrary 2026 roundup video, we'll discuss the most impactful environmental health and safety news.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the monthly news roundup video, where we’ll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news. Let’s take a look at what happened over the past month.

Fatal work injuries fell 4 percent in 2024, largely due to a decline in workplace drug- and alcohol-related overdoses. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, overdose fatalities fell from 512 in 2023 to 410 in 2024. Across all types of workplace incidents, there were 5,070 fatal work injuries in 2024, compared to 5,283 in 2023. Transportation incidents continue to be the most frequent type of fatal event, accounting for over 38 percent of all occupational fatalities in 2024.

OSHA is fast-tracking a proposal to remove the 2036 obligation to upgrade fall protection systems on fixed ladders that extend over 24 feet. This follows an industry petition from major chemical and petroleum industry groups, which argue the provision is unjustified, costly, and not supported by the rulemaking record. OSHA frames the upcoming proposed action as deregulatory, allowing employers to update fixed ladders at the end of their service lives. We’ll provide updates as more information becomes available.

As OSHA leans into “deregulatory” actions, lawmakers are moving to pressure the agency to issue “regulatory” rulemaking to protect American workers. The latest legislative wave of bills aims to fill regulatory gaps, tackle emerging hazards, expand OSHA authority, and raise penalties. Topics addressed by these bills include musculoskeletal disorders, heat stress, infectious diseases, wildfire smoke, and workplace violence.

In a recently issued letter of interpretation, OSHA states that a burn injury caused by a personal lithium-ion battery fire is work related if it occurs in the workplace during assigned working hours. The letter details an incident where an employee was burned when their rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for e-cigarettes sparked a fire after coming into contact with a key used for work.

A new report from the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General concludes that OSHA struggles to meet its mission, particularly in high-risk industries like healthcare, construction, and manufacturing. Several pages point to OSHA’s difficulties in effectively enforcing annual injury and illness reporting requirements, reaching the nation’s high-risk worksites for inspection, and addressing workplace violence by regulatory or other action.

Turning to environmental news, EPA extended the deadlines for Facility Evaluation Reports and related requirements for coal combustion residuals facilities. In most instances, the deadlines have been moved one or two years out.

And finally, EPA announced a final rule eliminating the 2009 Endangerment Finding and related greenhouse gas emission requirements for on-highway vehicles and vehicle engines. When the final rule takes effect, manufacturers and importers of new motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines will no longer have to measure, report, certify, or comply with federal greenhouse gas emission standards.

EHS Monthly Round Up - May 2026

EHS Monthly Round Up - May 2026

In this May 2026 roundup video, we’ll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the monthly news roundup video, where we’ll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news. Let’s take a look at what happened over the past month.

The first compliance date for the revised HazCom standard took effect May 19. Employers who work with chemical substances that are aerosols, desensitized explosives, or flammable gases should start to see updated safety data sheets and labels. On a related note, OSHA revised its HazCom directive for inspectors. It instructs OSHA officers on how to conduct inspections and issue citations under the standard. However, it also provides chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers with insight into what officers will be assessing.

OSHA revoked a standard that prohibited open fires and fires in drums or similar containers in marine terminals. The agency stated that since this is no longer typical practice, removing the standard would lessen the compliance burden without compromising worker safety.

OSHA received the backing of an advisory committee as it advances a comprehensive Tree Care Operations proposal. During the Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health meeting, the group unanimously voted in favor of moving ahead. This clears the path for OSHA to publish its long-awaited proposal.

Turning to environmental news, EPA extended the submission date for the TSCA Section 8(d) Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule one-time report from May 22, 2026, to May 21, 2027.

EPA published the first round of expiring confidential business information claims for information submitted under TSCA. The list covers claims that expire from June 22 to July 31, 2026. Businesses must submit extension requests to keep the information protected.

EPA postponed the effective compliance date for trichloroethylene users with TSCA Section 6(g) exemptions until pending judicial review is concluded. The agency has yet to establish a new compliance date.

And finally, EPA revised HFC use restrictions for certain subsectors. This applies to entities that are subject to the 2023 Technology Transition Rule requirements. The agency also proposed a rule that would exempt transportation refrigeration units from leak repair requirements regardless of charge size.

EHS Monthly Round Up - March 2026

EHS Monthly Round Up - March 2026

In this March 2026 roundup video, we'll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the monthly news roundup video, where we’ll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news. Let’s take a look at what happened over the past month.

OSHA released an updated Job Safety and Health poster. Employers can use either the revised version or the older one, but the poster must be displayed in a conspicuous place where workers can easily see it.

OSHA recently removed a link from its Data topic webpage that displayed a list of “high-penalty cases” at or over $40,000 since 2015. The agency says it discontinued and removed it in December. The data is frozen and archived elsewhere.

OSHA published two new resources as part of its newly launched Safety Champions Program. The fact sheet provides an overview of how the program works, eligibility criteria, and key benefits. The step-by-step guide helps businesses navigate the core elements of OSHA’s Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs.

Several forces are nudging OSHA to address a number of workplace hazards and high-hazard industries. This comes from other agencies, safety organizations, watchdogs, legislative proposals, and persistent injury/fatality data. Among the hazards are combustible dust; first aid; personal protective equipment; and workplace violence. How all this translates into new regulations, guidance, programmed inspections, or other initiatives remains to be seen.

Turning to environmental news, EPA issued a proposed rule to require waste handlers to use electronic manifests to track all RCRA hazardous waste shipments. Stakeholders have until May 4 to comment on the proposal.

On March 10, EPA finalized stronger emission limits for new and existing large municipal waste combustors and made other changes to related standards.

And finally, EPA temporarily extended coverage under the 2021 Multi-Sector General Permit for industrial stormwater discharges until the agency issues a new general permit. The permit expired February 28 and remains in effect for facilities previously covered. EPA won’t take enforcement action against new facilities for unpermitted stormwater discharges if the facilities meet specific conditions.

EHS Monthly Round Up - April 2026

EHS Monthly Round Up - April 2026

In this April 2026 roundup video, we’ll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the monthly news roundup video, where we’ll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news. Let’s take a look at what happened over the past month.

OSHA revised its National Emphasis Program on heat-related hazards. Going forward, the agency will prioritize inspections in 55 high-risk industries in indoor and outdoor work settings. The program remains in effect for 5 years from its April 10 effective date.

An OSHA proposed rule seeks to eliminate the November 18, 2036, deadline in the Walking-Working Surfaces standard that would require all fixed ladders extending more than 24 feet above a lower level to be equipped with personal fall arrest systems or ladder safety systems. OSHA also seeks feedback on nine specific questions related to the proposal, with comments due on June 5.

On April 17, OSHA revoked its House Falls in Marine Terminals standard at 1917.41. The agency said that because most cargo has been containerized and is moved by cranes, the standard is no longer necessary to protect employees.

Turning to environmental news, an EPA final rule further delays the submission period for the one-time PFAS report required of manufacturers. It pushes the start of the submission period to either 60 days after the effective date of a future final rule updating the PFAS Reporting Rule or January 31, 2027, whichever comes first.

An EPA final rule makes technical changes to the emission standards established in March 2024 for crude oil and natural gas facilities. The changes take effect June 8.

EPA published the draft 6th Contaminant Candidate List for the next group of contaminants to be considered for regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The proposed list designates microplastics and pharmaceuticals as priority contaminant groups for the first time.

And finally, EPA plans to make significant changes to coal combustion residuals requirements. A proposed rule published April 13 would revise the regulations governing the disposal of coal combustion residuals in landfills and surface impoundments, as well as the beneficial use of coal combustion residuals.

EHS Monthly Round Up - June 2026

In this June 2026 roundup video, we'll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the monthly news roundup video, where we’ll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news. Let’s take a look at what happened over the past month.

OSHA won’t increase its penalty amounts in 2026. The agency is required to annually adjust its penalties for inflation, based specifically on the October Consumer Price Index data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Due to a lapse in funding, BLS did not release the October 2025 data. Because no alternative calculation is allowed, OSHA penalties will remain at the 2025 amounts.

OSHA updated its inspection guidance for the Hazard Communication standard. While the document is geared towards OSHA inspectors, it provides insights for chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers as to what the agency will look for during an inspection.

OSHA will hold a series of informal, virtual hearings on multiple proposed rules beginning August 19th. The majority relate to respiratory protection requirements for different chemical substances. All of the proposed rules were originally published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2025.

Nevada OSHA published a list of frequently asked questions related to its recently adopted heat illness rule. The state’s rule took effect April 29.

Turning to environmental news, EPA restored emergency-related affirmative defense provisions for Title V operating permits. This allows stationary sources to assert a regulatory affirmative defense for certain air emission violations caused by events beyond their control.

EPA released two proposed rules that would have major impacts on drinking water regulations for PFAS. The agency will accept comments on the proposals until July 20.

And finally, EPA now allows facilities to submit PCB annual reports electronically. Facilities can start with the upcoming report that’s due July 15.

EHS Monthly Round Up - January 2026

EHS Monthly Round Up - January 2026

In this January 2026 roundup video, we'll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the monthly news roundup video, where we’ll review the most impactful environmental health and safety news. Let’s take a look at what happened over the past month.

Chemical manufacturers, importers, distributors, and employers will have an extra four months to comply with the provisions of OSHA’s revised Hazard Communication standard. When the rule was revised in 2024, it contained staggered compliance dates for those who classify or use chemical substances and mixtures. The first compliance date is now May 19 rather than January 19 of 2026.

On January 8, OSHA issued further technical corrections to its Hazard Communication final rule. An initial set of corrections was published in October 2024, and OSHA continued to review the standard for errors. The agency said these corrections should reduce confusion during the chemical classification process and prevent errors on labels and safety data sheets.

In 2024, private industry employers reported 2.5 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is down 3.1 percent from 2023 and largely due to a decrease in respiratory illnesses. The greatest number of cases involving days away from work, job restriction, or transfer were caused by overexertion, repetitive motion, and bodily conditions, followed by contact incidents.

Registration is open for OSHA’s Safety Champions Program, which is designed to help employers develop and implement effective safety and health programs. Participants can work at their own pace through Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.

Turning to environmental news, on January 9, EPA withdrew its direct final rule on SDS/Tier II reporting tied to OSHA HazCom, before it had a chance to take effect. The direct final rule was published back on November 17, 2025, and was intended to relax the Tier II and safety data sheet reporting requirements and align with OSHA’s HazCom standard. EPA said it plans to write a new rule addressing all public comments.

And finally, EPA published a final rule that changes certain requirements for wastewater discharges from coal-fired steam electric power plants. It applies to the deadlines established by the preceding rule finalized in 2024.

Environmental compliance during capital projects: What gets missed most often
2026-08-05T05:00:00Z

Environmental compliance during capital projects: What gets missed most often

Capital projects often focus on budgets, schedules, engineering specifications, and operational goals. Project teams, however, frequently treat environmental compliance as a secondary consideration until late in the project lifecycle. That approach can create costly delays, permit violations, unexpected expenses, and even enforcement actions.

The most commonly missed environmental compliance issue during capital projects is the failure to evaluate how seemingly routine changes affect regulatory obligations. Changes to equipment, raw materials, production capacity, fuel usage, waste generation, emissions, water discharges, or storage practices can trigger new environmental requirements. What appears to be a straightforward operational improvement may alter permit applicability, increase emissions, generate new waste streams, or require additional monitoring and recordkeeping. Organizations that wait until construction is underway to ask environmental compliance questions often discover that regulatory reviews should've occurred months earlier.

Operational changes can trigger new requirements

Many capital projects are initiated to improve efficiency, increase production, or expand capabilities. As a result, project teams often focus on engineering and operational objectives without fully evaluating how proposed changes will affect environmental compliance.

Even relatively modest modifications can create compliance obligations that weren't considered during project planning. A project that increases throughput, changes operating patterns, or introduces new materials may trigger additional permitting, monitoring, or reporting requirements. Facilities that conduct environmental reviews during the early planning stages are generally better positioned to identify and address these issues before they affect project schedules.

Air and water impacts are often underestimated

Air permitting is one area where projects frequently encounter surprises. Process changes and production increases can affect emission calculations and permit thresholds. Facilities sometimes assume that replacing equipment with newer technology automatically improves compliance. In reality, changes in throughput, operating hours, fuels, or process materials can increase potential emissions or trigger new regulatory requirements even when newer equipment is more efficient.

Water-related requirements are also frequently overlooked. Site expansions may alter drainage patterns, increase impervious surfaces, or create new industrial stormwater exposure areas. Construction activities can trigger erosion and sediment control obligations, while process changes may affect wastewater characteristics, discharge volumes, or pretreatment requirements. These issues are often easier and less expensive to address during project design than after construction begins.

Chemical and waste management challenges

Hazardous waste and chemical management considerations are also frequently overlooked during capital projects. Introducing new raw materials, products, or process chemicals may create waste streams that require different handling, storage, transportation, or disposal practices.

Additional storage capacity may require updates to spill prevention measures, emergency response procedures, or chemical inventories. In some cases, project teams don't identify these impacts until after equipment is installed and operational.

Facilities may also discover that existing waste determinations no longer apply to modified operations. Failure to evaluate new or changed waste streams can result in improper waste management practices and increased regulatory risk.

Compliance doesn't end with the permit

Permitting is only one component of environmental compliance. Capital projects often require updates to a variety of compliance-related documents and programs that support day-to-day operations.

Facilities may need to revise Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs); Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans; inspection procedures; training materials; and recordkeeping systems. These updates are sometimes overlooked when project teams focus primarily on obtaining permits or completing construction milestones.

Failing to update supporting documentation can create compliance gaps even when all necessary permits have been obtained.

Communication and change management matter

Another common challenge is communication. Environmental compliance responsibilities often extend beyond environmental staff to engineering, operations, maintenance, purchasing personnel, and contractors. When environmental requirements aren't communicated effectively, critical information may never reach those responsible for implementing controls, maintaining records, or conducting inspections.

Many of these issues can be traced to the absence of a formal management of change (MOC) process. Capital projects frequently evolve as designs are refined, equipment is substituted, or project scopes change. Without a structured review process, environmental impacts identified early in the project may no longer reflect the final design.

An effective MOC process helps ensure that environmental considerations are reevaluated throughout the life of a project rather than only during the initial planning phase.

Building compliance into the project lifecycle

Most capital project compliance problems are preventable. Organizations that involve environmental personnel early, integrate compliance reviews into project planning, maintain clear communication channels, and establish a structured change-management process are less likely to encounter regulatory surprises.

Environmental compliance should be incorporated throughout planning, design, construction, and startup activities. Doing so can help organizations identify potential issues sooner, avoid costly delays, and reduce the likelihood of noncompliance after a project becomes operational.

Key to remember: The most common compliance pitfalls in capital projects stem from failing to evaluate how operational changes affect existing environmental requirements.

EPA proposes 2027 general stormwater permit for construction
2026-08-04T05:00:00Z

EPA proposes 2027 general stormwater permit for construction

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the proposed 2027 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit (CGP) for public comment on August 3, 2026. The CGP covers stormwater discharges from construction activities.

Who’s impacted?

The CGP applies to construction activities in areas where EPA is the NPDES permitting authority (including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and the District of Columbia). Construction site operators must obtain a stormwater discharge permit for any construction activity that:

  • Disturbs 1 acre or more of land, or
  • Disturbs less than 1 acre of land but is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that will disturb 1 acre or more of land.

What are the proposed changes to the CGP?

EPA’s proposed 2027 CGP contains multiple modifications to the 2022 CGP. Significant changes include:

  • Replacing the broad requirement for permittees to “meet applicable water quality standards” for receiving waters (i.e., the waters that permittees discharge into) with more specific limits that indicate water quality problems in the discharge and applying these indicator conditions to all permittees;
  • Requiring CGP applicants to submit with the Notice of Intent (NOI) an electronic copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), a website address where the SWPPP can be viewed, or a copy of the SWPPP site map and the signed certification;
  • Requiring construction sites that install a sediment basin to implement stabilization measures before directing stormwater to the basin; and
  • Streamlining specific requirements, such as:
    • Clarifying that perimeter sediment controls are only required for areas that may receive stormwater from disturbed areas;
    • Clarifying the stabilization deadlines for sites in arid, semi-arid, and drought-stricken areas;
    • Allowing sites that experience unforeseeable winter weather conditions to temporarily suspend the requirement to stabilize exposed portions of the site for 14 days or more of inactivity while the extreme weather conditions persist;
    • Eliminating the requirement to submit pre-stabilization photos with a Notice of Termination;
    • Reducing the frequency of turbidity monitoring from daily to weekly for sites discharging dewatering water continuously for longer periods of time;
    • Relieving some operators of turbidity benchmark monitoring reporting requirements at sites where multiple operators coordinate monitoring efforts (if the operators submit an initial quarterly report to inform EPA that they’re relying on another permitted operator on-site to monitor and report); and
    • Eliminating the reporting requirement when no dewatering discharges occur during a monitoring quarter.

Who needs to apply for 2027 CGP coverage?

Operators of both new sites (construction activities begin on or after the final 2027 CGP’s effective date) and existing sites must apply for coverage under the 2027 CGP.

If an existing site obtained permit coverage under the 2022 CGP before the permit’s expiration date (February 17, 2027), the site will automatically remain covered for a limited period of time, allowing operators to submit a new Notice of Intent for coverage under the 2027 CGP.

What’s next?

Public comments are due by September 2, 2026 (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2025-0760).

EPA will host a webinar on August 18, 2026, to review the proposed 2027 CGP and answer questions. You may register for the webinar on EPA’s “Proposed 2027 Construction General Permit (CGP) and Related Documents” webpage. If the proposed 2027 CGP is finalized, it will replace the existing 2022 CGP, which expires on February 17, 2027.

Key to remember: EPA seeks public comment on the proposed 2027 Construction General Permit for stormwater discharges.

Expert Insights: Environmental compliance doesn't stop at the state level

Expert Insights: Environmental compliance doesn't stop at the state level

Most industrial facilities have a good understanding of federal and state environmental requirements. However, many compliance issues arise because companies overlook county and municipal requirements.

Local governments often have their own environmental ordinances, permitting programs, and enforcement authorities that apply in addition to state and federal regulations. In some cases, local requirements are more restrictive than state rules and can lead to penalties even when a facility believes it’s operating in compliance.

Local governments play an important environmental role

Environmental compliance isn’t handled solely by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state environmental agencies. Counties, municipalities, sewer authorities, and local stormwater programs often regulate activities that directly affect water quality, public infrastructure, and community health.

For example, local governments commonly regulate:

  • Stormwater discharges
  • Erosion and sediment control
  • Industrial wastewater discharges to sewer systems
  • Hazardous material storage
  • Spill prevention requirements
  • Fire code and emergency planning requirements
  • Local environmental permits and inspections

Many municipalities adopt ordinances that supplement state regulations and give local officials authority to inspect facilities, issue notices of violation, and assess penalties.

Industrial wastewater: Local sewer authorities have enforcement power

Industrial wastewater is one of the most common areas where facilities encounter local environmental requirements. Companies that discharge wastewater to a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) are often regulated by a municipal sewer authority rather than directly through an NPDES permit.

Local sewer authorities may issue discharge permits, establish local limits, require monitoring and reporting, conduct inspections, and enforce violations through penalties or corrective actions. Facilities can face enforcement for unauthorized discharges, exceedances, or reporting failures even when no state inspection has occurred.

Stormwater compliance often includes local requirements

Stormwater compliance frequently extends beyond state permit requirements. Many counties and municipalities operate under Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits and have adopted ordinances that regulate activities affecting stormwater quality.

Local rules commonly address outdoor material storage, drainage system maintenance, erosion controls, illicit discharges, stormwater infrastructure inspections, and construction activities. A facility may comply with its industrial stormwater permit but still violate local requirements if it fails to maintain drainage systems, creates unauthorized storm sewer connections, or performs regulated site work without local approval.

Hazardous waste compliance may involve local agencies

While hazardous waste requirements are primarily federal and state responsibilities, local agencies often regulate related operational activities. These requirements may include hazardous material storage permits, fire code compliance, spill prevention measures, emergency response planning, zoning approvals, and inspections by fire marshals or emergency management officials.

Local inspectors often identify storage, containment, labeling, or emergency planning deficiencies before state environmental agencies conduct inspections. Addressing these requirements helps reduce enforcement risk and improve overall compliance performance.

A multilevel compliance strategy is essential

A strong environmental compliance program considers federal, state, county, and municipal requirements. Before expanding operations, constructing facilities, modifying wastewater systems, or changing stormwater infrastructure, companies should evaluate applicable local ordinances and permit obligations.

Regular communication with sewer authorities, stormwater programs, fire departments, and planning agencies can help identify local requirements early, avoid costly project delays, and reduce the risk of enforcement actions. Ignoring local obligations can create compliance gaps even when a facility meets federal and state environmental requirements.

EPA updates preconstruction permitting guidance: What are the impacts on major sources?
2026-07-29T05:00:00Z

EPA updates preconstruction permitting guidance: What are the impacts on major sources?

Where there’s construction, there are permits, and where there are permits, there are usually delays. For major construction projects in areas with poor air quality, the delay could be due to emission credits. New federal guidance, however, may help reduce those delays.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released guidance clarifying that Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) preconstruction permits may be issued to applicants before they obtain the required offsetting emission reduction credits (ERCs) if certain conditions are met.

The new guidance for permitting authorities (usually state or local air agencies) is a change in the agency’s recommended approach, designed to help prevent preconstruction permitting delays for applicants that haven’t yet formally secured ERCs. So, what does this mean for facilities? Let’s take a look!

Which construction projects could be affected?

EPA’s new guidance impacts construction projects in nonattainment areas. These are areas where emissions exceed the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for any of the six regulated criteria air pollutants.

You need an NNSR permit to build a new major stationary source or make major modifications to an existing major stationary source if:

  • The new or modified source is located in a nonattainment area, and
  • The new or modified source emits or has the potential to emit a regulated pollutant in amounts that meet the applicable major source or major modification thresholds.

You must obtain an NNSR permit before construction begins. NNSR permits can be issued only if the applicant meets certain conditions, one of which is meeting emission offset requirements.

What are emission offsets?

Emission offsets are reductions in emissions from existing sources that can be used to compensate for emissions from a new or modified source. The Clean Air Act requires new and modified major sources to offset emissions by obtaining sufficient ERCs from existing sources located in the same nonattainment area.

In other words, a new or modified major source must get enough credits from existing nearby sources to cover the total amount of emissions that the facility will add to the area.

How does the guidance impact permitting?

EPA’s previous guidance recommended that NNSR permits generally shouldn’t be issued until ERCs are actually secured. As a result, permitting agencies require applicants to obtain ERCs before issuing an NNSR permit to start construction on a facility, even if the facility won’t immediately begin operations.

Guidance on Clean Air Act Nonattainment New Source Review Emissions Offsets (ERC guidance), issued by EPA on July 1, 2026, changes the agency’s recommended approach. It clarifies that permitting authorities may issue NNSR permits before applicants specifically secure the required ERCs if the permit contains:

  • A federally enforceable commitment by the permit applicant to obtain the needed ERCs before starting operations, and
  • An express ban on starting operations until the required ERCs are obtained with appropriate permit restrictions on the sources providing the ERCs.

What’s the possible impact on facilities?

Permitting authorities that apply ERC guidance to permitting decisions can issue NNSR permits to qualifying sources before they secure ERCs. This would allow applicants to start construction on or modifications to a major source without delay, provided the enforceable permit conditions are met.

Here's an example:

A business is ready to build a manufacturing plant in a nonattainment area, but operations at the new facility won’t begin until a year after construction is complete.

Under previous guidance, the business couldn’t begin construction on the manufacturing plant until it formally secured the required ERCs upfront for operations that won’t start until a year after the facility is complete.

EPA’s ERC guidance would allow the permitting authority to issue the business an NNSR permit before it obtains the ERCs. That means the business could build the manufacturing plant right away and then secure the ERCs later, closer to the time the facility starts operating.

Keep these points in mind!

Consider the following when determining how EPA’s updated NNSR policy may impact your construction project:

  • The ERC guidance is nonbinding, meaning that permitting authorities aren’t required to implement the guidance. Permitting authorities can still require applicants to secure ERCs before issuing NNSR permits.
  • Facilities may be able to start construction without first securing ERCs, but facilities can’t begin operating until they secure the required ERCs.
  • Most NNSR permits are issued on a state or local level. Confirm the specific requirements that apply to your major source construction project with the relevant state or local permitting authority.

Key to remember: EPA’s guidance allows permitting authorities to issue preconstruction permits for new major sources and major modifications in nonattainment areas before the sources secure emission reduction credits.

ISO 14001:2026 arrives: Key changes for environmental management systems
2026-07-14T05:00:00Z

ISO 14001:2026 arrives: Key changes for environmental management systems

Environmental management has changed significantly since ISO 14001 was last revised in 2015. Climate-related risks, resource constraints, supply chain challenges, and stakeholder expectations have reshaped how organizations manage environmental issues. In response, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) released ISO 14001:2026, the first major update to the environmental management system (EMS) standard in over a decade.

The revised standard does not change the purpose of ISO 14001. Organizations will continue to use an EMS to identify environmental aspects, meet compliance obligations, manage environmental risks, and improve environmental performance. However, the new edition clarifies requirements and places greater emphasis on measurable environmental results. ISO says the revision is intended to better align EMS programs with today's environmental challenges. Organizations certified to ISO 14001 may need to update procedures, documentation, audits, and management reviews.

Why was the standard updated?

When ISO published 14001:2015, many organizations focused primarily on regulatory compliance. While compliance remains a core component of an EMS, environmental managers today face a broader range of issues. Climate impacts, resource availability, supply chain disruptions, and stakeholder expectations can all affect environmental planning and performance. Rather than creating an entirely new framework, the 2026 version largely builds on concepts that already existed in the 2015 edition while expanding and clarifying expectations.

Environmental context receives greater attention

A major theme of the revision is a stronger focus on organizational context. Organizations are expected to look beyond day-to-day compliance activities when identifying environmental risks and opportunities.

The revised standard emphasizes consideration of environmental conditions that may affect the EMS, including climate-related concerns, biodiversity, ecosystem impacts, and natural resource availability. Organizations are expected to evaluate how external issues and stakeholder expectations may influence environmental objectives and planning.

For environmental managers, this may mean expanding annual EMS reviews to evaluate emerging environmental issues that could affect operations, compliance obligations, permit conditions, or environmental objectives.

Change management moves into the spotlight

The revised standard also introduces a more structured approach to managing change. Many organizations already evaluate environmental impacts when making operational changes, but those reviews are often informal.

ISO 14001:2026 expects organizations to plan, manage, and evaluate changes that may affect environmental performance. Examples include:

  • Installing new equipment,
  • Expanding production capacity,
  • Changing raw materials,
  • Modifying waste management practices,
  • Switching suppliers, or
  • Adding new products or processes.

This requirement should sound familiar to many environmental professionals. Operational changes can affect air emissions, waste generation, wastewater discharges, stormwater exposure, and permit applicability. A structured review process can help identify environmental impacts before changes are implemented.

Lifecycle thinking and supply chains gain importance

Lifecycle thinking was already part of ISO 14001:2015, but the revised standard places greater emphasis on it. Organizations are expected to consider environmental impacts throughout the lifecycle of products and services, including activities involving suppliers, contractors, and externally provided products and services.

This requirement does not mean organizations are responsible for every environmental impact within their supply chain. Rather, it encourages organizations to understand how purchasing decisions, outsourced activities, and supplier relationships may affect environmental performance.

For some organizations, this could mean greater emphasis on supplier evaluations, procurement procedures, contractor oversight, or product stewardship initiatives.

Leadership involvement becomes more visible

ISO 14001:2026 also strengthens expectations related to leadership accountability. Environmental management is no longer viewed solely as the responsibility of the environmental department.

The revised standard emphasizes visible leadership involvement and broader organizational participation. Environmental responsibilities may extend beyond EHS personnel to departments such as operations, purchasing, engineering, and management. Organizations will need to demonstrate that leadership is actively engaged in environmental planning, resource allocation, and performance evaluation activities.

What should organizations do now?

Although organizations have time to prepare for the transition, environmental managers may want to begin evaluating their programs now. Early reviews can help identify gaps and reduce the likelihood of surprises during future audits.

Questions organizations may want to consider include:

  • Does the EMS adequately address climate, resources, and other emerging environmental issues?
  • Is there a documented process for evaluating environmental impacts before operational changes are made?
  • Are lifecycle considerations incorporated into purchasing and contractor management activities?
  • Can leadership involvement be demonstrated through documented actions and decisions?
  • Do environmental objectives show measurable performance improvements?

While ISO 14001:2026 is an evolution of the existing standard rather than a complete overhaul, organizations should not assume existing EMS procedures will meet the revised expectations. Environmental managers may want to review how their systems address organizational context, change management, lifecycle considerations, and leadership involvement before their next audit.

Key to remember: For environmental professionals, the revised standard provides an opportunity to strengthen that connection and demonstrate the value that effective environmental management brings to the organization.

EPA releases 2026 regulatory agenda

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the 2026 Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions on July 3, 2026. The agenda outlines the agency’s upcoming regulatory actions and their status in the rulemaking process. Many of the proposed and final rules support EPA’s continued deregulatory efforts.

Significant rulemaking on EPA’s docket includes the following:

  • Proposing risk management regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for various chemical substances, such as formaldehyde, diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), and diisononyl phthalate (DINP);
  • Aligning the definition of “waters of the United States” with the Supreme Court’s Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency (2023) decision, which narrowed the definition under the Clean Water Act;
  • Finalizing the part 2 risk management regulations for asbestos, including use and associated disposal requirements for legacy asbestos, asbestos-containing talc, and asbestos fibers other than chrysotile;
  • Repealing the Carbon Pollution Standards (CPS) that limit greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired plants (or repealing a narrower set of requirements under the CPS); and
  • Establishing a federal permitting program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR).

Additionally, EPA continues to conduct rulemaking related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), such as:

  • Revising existing effluent limitations guidelines and standards (ELGs) to address PFAS discharges from PFAS manufacturing facilities and chromium electroplating facilities;
  • Extending the compliance deadlines for Maximum Contaminant Levels established by the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS); and
  • Rescinding the NPDWRs for four PFAS.

EPA sets MyPeST compliance reporting deadlines for bilingual pesticide labeling requirements
2026-07-01T05:00:00Z

EPA sets MyPeST compliance reporting deadlines for bilingual pesticide labeling requirements

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published instructions and deadlines for pesticide registrants to report compliance with bilingual labeling requirements in the MyPeST application. The first compliance reporting deadline is July 31, 2026, for pesticide products with the highest toxicity.

Who’s impacted?

Compliance reporting applies to registrants of pesticide products subject to the bilingual labeling requirements established by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5) amendments to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

PRIA 5 requires all end-use pesticide product labels to provide Spanish translations of the human health and safety sections by including the translated sections directly on the label or providing a link via scannable technology or other readily accessible electronic methods to the translated sections. EPA allows certain antimicrobial and non-agricultural pesticide products to comply by providing access to Spanish-language Safety Data Sheets instead of direct label translations.

Compliance timelines are based on the type of pesticide and its toxicity category.

What’s required?

Pesticide registrants must report compliance with the PRIA 5 bilingual labeling requirements using EPA’s MyPeST app. The agency recently published detailed reporting instructions in the MyPeST Application User Guide (accessible in the MyPeST app).

EPA also established the following deadlines for reporting compliance in MyPeST:

Pesticide product typeBilingual labeling deadlineCompliance reporting deadline

Secondary containment alternative: Does your oil-filled operational equipment qualify?
2026-06-30T05:00:00Z

Secondary containment alternative: Does your oil-filled operational equipment qualify?

Facilities that run like a well-oiled machine often rely on just that — operational equipment that stores and uses oil to function (like hydraulic systems). But wherever oil is stored, there’s always the possibility of a leak, and spilled oil can do serious harm, especially if it reaches water.

That’s where the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule comes in. Usually, regulated facilities must equip oil-filled operational equipment with general secondary containment, which is designed to temporarily hold discharged oil until it can be properly cleaned up. However, some facilities may have another compliance option available.

EPA offers an alternative to secondary containment for qualified oil-filled operational equipment. Let’s take a look at the eligibility criteria and what the other method of compliance requires.

What’s oil-filled operational equipment?

EPA defines “oil-filled operational equipment” at 40 CFR 112.2. Generally, it refers to equipment that has one or more oil storage containers with oil that’s used solely to operate the equipment. Common examples are lubrication systems for pumps and compressors, machining coolant systems, circuit breakers, and electrical switches.

Does your facility have qualified equipment?

Only qualified oil-filled operational equipment is eligible for the alternative requirements to general secondary containment.

The SPCC rule considers oil-filled operational equipment to be qualified if it hasn’t had one discharge of oil exceeding 1,000 gallons or two discharges of oil exceeding 42 gallons each over the following time periods:

  • If the facility has operated for at least 3 years, within any 12-month period in the 3 years before the SPCC Plan’s certification date; or
  • If the facility has operated for less than 3 years, since becoming subject to the SPCC regulations.

Take note! When determining whether your facility’s oil-filled operational equipment is eligible under federal standards:

  • Don’t count oil discharges caused by natural disasters, acts of war, or terrorism; and
  • Don’t count the total amount of oil spilled, only the amount that reaches navigable waters or adjoining shorelines.

What about oil-filled manufacturing equipment?

The SPCC rule distinguishes between oil-filled manufacturing equipment and oil-filled operational equipment. Oil-filled manufacturing equipment stores oil only as a supporting element for conducting a mechanical or chemical operation to create or modify a product. It typically involves a flow-through process in which oil continuously moves through the equipment. Examples of this type of equipment include reaction vessels, mixing tanks, and distillation columns.

Because it’s defined independently under the SPCC rule, oil-filled manufacturing equipment isn’t eligible for the alternative compliance option available to qualified oil-filled operational equipment.

What are the alternative measures?

Instead of providing secondary containment for qualified oil-filled operational equipment, facilities may choose to comply with the alternative requirements at 112.7(k), which include:

  • Establishing and documenting an inspection or a monitoring program to detect equipment failures and discharges; and
  • Adding to the SPCC Plan:
    • An oil spill contingency plan according to the requirements of Part 109; and
    • A written commitment of the resources (manpower, equipment, and materials) needed to quickly control and remove any potentially harmful quantities of discharged oil.

Take note! If your business must submit a facility response plan (FRP) under 112.20, the oil spill contingency plan and written commitment requirements don’t apply since your FRP already contains these elements.

Why should my facility consider the alternative compliance option?

The alternative requirements to general secondary containment don’t require facilities to prepare an impracticability determination for qualified oil-filled operational equipment.

The impracticability determination provisions at 112.7(d) impose more requirements for facilities that use alternative measures to secondary containment for unqualified equipment. In addition to meeting the same requirements for qualified oil-filled operational equipment, facilities must have the oil spill contingency plan certified by a Professional Engineer (unless self-certifying as a qualified facility). They also must:

  • Describe in the SPCC Plan the reasons such measures aren’t practicable, and
  • Conduct periodic integrity tests of bulk storage containers and periodic integrity and leak tests of valves and piping.

Key to remember: The SPCC rule offers an alternative to general secondary containment requirements for qualified oil-filled operational equipment.
