Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the <br />sender and know the content is safe. <br />Vicky, <br />As promised, I am circling back via email to clarify our notification thought process. State and Federal law cited in the <br />CalOES guidance indicates the following <br />State law: Handlers, any employees, authorized representatives, agent or designees of handlers shall, upon discovery, <br />immediately report any release or threatened release of hazardous materials (Health and Safety Code §25510). <br />Federal law: Notification to the National Response Center is required for all releases that equal or exceed federal <br />reporting quantities: <br />(EPCRA) Owners and Operators to report, and <br />(CERCLA) Person in Charge to report <br />As you know, we notified SJV EHD on Monday 1/24 at 4:28 pm. Given our Waste Discharge Requirements associated <br />with the lined ponds, we notified the Regional Board (Mr. Brandon Kenny) shortly thereafter via email. <br />Given that the spilled material was a relatively low pH material, we began to evaluate the likely reportable quantity (RQ). <br />Per the EPA List of Lists (Consolidated List of Chemicals subject to EPCRA, CERCLA, and Section 112(r) of the Clean Air <br />Act), a generic low pH liquid only has an RQ if it has a characteristic of corrosivity. See excerpt from the List of Lists <br />below. The associated RQ is 100 pounds — found on page 102 of 131 of the PDF linked here. <br />https://cas5-0- <br />urlprotect.trendmicro.conn:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.epa.gov%2fsites%2fdefault%2ffiles% <br />2f2015%2d03%2fdocuments%2flist%5fof%5flists.pdP/03fVersionld%3d8We.OedeRCrHOOgArFv6CYKNYiH.E09&umid=f47 <br />2fffb-a9ce-4c0d-bab1-7399865ef597&auth=899f56562203fbe4074fa5772792456432f3def0- <br />79a1da2906cb452857a2748a55a47624fddc5c07. <br />5
