The American Chemistry Council appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the Environmental Protection Agencys proposed Clean Water Act Hazardous Substances Discharge Prevention Action. ACC members own and operate chemical manufacturing facilities subject to various federal, state, and local regulatory permit and discharge requirements. As such, ACC members have a significant interest in EPAs consideration of potential new CWA regulatory requirements and this Proposed Action. In addition to these comments, ACC also joined with a number of other trade associations to provide separate comments on the Proposed Action.

Abstract
Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 311(j)(1)(c) reads, in part: “…as soon as practicable after October 18, 1972, and from time to time thereafter, the President shall issue regulations … establishing procedures, methods, and equipment and other requirements for equipment to prevent discharges of … hazardous substances from … onshore facilities … and to contain such discharges …” The CWA hazardous substances and their associated reportable quantities (RQs) are identified in 40 CFR part 116 and 117 respectively. The EPA will assess the consequences of hazardous substance discharges into the nation’s waters, and evaluate the costs and benefits of potential preventive regulatory requirements for facilities handling such substances.
