In 40 CFR 355.61, SARA defines a release as "any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, 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 hazardous chemical, extremely hazardous substance, or CERCLA [Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act] hazardous substance."
Therefore, if a facility has abandoned or discarded any barrels, containers, or other receptacles containing an extremely hazardous substance or a CERCLA hazardous substance and (a) the total amount present in all the receptacles is more than its designated reportable quantity and (b) the containers could result in exposure to persons off-site, the discarding or abandonment of the barrels should be reported as required in 355.30.
