Exclusions from Definition of Release

The Superfund law specifically excludes the following from the definition of release and, therefore, the reporting requirements do not apply:

• Any release that results in exposure to persons solely within a workplace.
• Emissions from the engine exhaust of a motor vehicle, rolling stock, aircraft, vessel, or pipeline pumping station engine.
• Certain releases of source, byproduct, or special nuclear material from a nuclear incident.
• Normal application of fertilizers.
