Construction & Demolition
- Stormwater: In states where EPA is the stormwater permitting authority, a construction Notice of Intent (NOI) must be received by the NOI Center before EPA will authorize coverage under the Construction General Permit (CGP). In states that have been authorized to implement the stormwater program, you must file an application with your state authorities to apply for an individual permit or for coverage under a statewide general permit.
Motor Vehicle Service and Repair
- Underground Storage Tank: Any owner who brings an underground storage tank system into use after May 8, 1986, must submit a notification form (EPA Form 7530-1) to the state or local agency or department designated to receive such notice.
- Gasoline Dispensing (PDF) (2 pp, 125K, About PDF): Regulations controlling air emissions from gasoline dispensing facilities may require you to submit a Initial Notification and Notification of Compliance Status.
- Motor vehicle or mobile equipment surface coating operations:
Initial Notification (informs EPA that the facility is subject to the standards and when the source will be in compliance), Notification of Compliance (certifies that the source is in compliance with the applicable requirements), and Annual notification of changes reports may be required.
New Chemical Imports
Legal requirements can apply to a wide range of chemical substances and can impact importers and exporters. Section 8 of TSCA authorizes EPA to require persons engaged in the manufacture (includes import), processing, and distribution in commerce of TSCA-covered chemical substances and mixtures to keep certain records and report certain information to EPA.
Refrigeration/Air Conditioning
- Producers, importers, and exporters of ozone-depleting substances such as HCFCs must comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
- Leak repair notifications may be triggered when an owner or operator of an industrial process refrigeration system discovers that refrigerant is leaking at a rate that would exceed 35 percent of the total charge in a 12-month period.
- Refrigerant Reclaimers must maintain records that include the quantity of material sent to them for reclamation, the mass of refrigerant reclaimed and related waste products. They must submit information to EPA annually within 30 days of the end of the calendar year.
Spills and Releases
- Any person or organization responsible for a release or an oil spill or hazardous substance release is required to notify the federal government when the amount reaches a federally-determined limit. States also may have separate reporting requirements.
Waste Management
- Facilities that generate hazardous waste may be required to submit several forms to EPA and/or state authorities.
