Essential Compliance Guides & Regulatory Truths

Key legal frameworks extracted from RMA's 335+ published industry articles and regulatory whitepapers.

DUE DILIGENCE β€’ ASTM E1527-21

The 180-Day Phase I ESA Lifespan Rule

Under ASTM E1527-21 and EPA AAI rules, a Phase I ESA is fully valid for 180 days prior to property closing. Between 180 and 365 days, a formal update is required. Reports older than 1 year cannot be updated and must be completely redone.

Key Factor: Interviews, database searches, and physical reconnaissance must be updated.
OIL POLLUTION β€’ 40 CFR 110

The EPA "Sheen Rule" & Reporting Triggers

Any oil discharge that causes a visible sheen, discoloration, film, or sludge on a navigable water body, drainage ditch, or storm sewer triggers mandatory immediate reporting to the National Response Center at 800-424-8802.

Key Factor: Volume does not matterβ€”even a single drop creating a visible sheen triggers NRC reporting.
EPCRA 312 VS 313 β€’ MARCH 1 VS JULY 1

Tier II vs. TRI Reporting: The Fundamental Difference

Tier II (EPCRA 312) focuses on storage of hazardous chemicals for emergency first responders and is due March 1st. TRI (EPCRA 313) focuses on releases, recycling, and transfers of toxic chemicals and is due July 1st.

Key Factor: Missing either deadline exposes facilities to $65,000+/day statutory penalties.
NJDEP N.J.A.C. 7:26A β€’ SOIL RECYCLING

New Jersey "Dirty Dirt" Law & Soil Fill Rules

New Jersey imposes strict licensing, registration, soil testing, and background checks for facilities receiving, storing, or processing soil fill and aggregate materials to eliminate illegal contaminated dumping across the state.

Key Factor: Facilities must maintain chain-of-custody documentation and daily tonnage records.
INSPECTOR AUDIT PROTOCOL β€’ RED BINDER

The 15-Minute Audit Preparation Strategy

When an EPA or state DEP inspector arrives unannounced, your facility should produce current permits, SWPPP logs, SPCC inspection sheets, and employee training records within 15 minutes using an organized "Red Binder" or digital portal.

Key Factor: Disorganized records signal broader non-compliance and trigger deep inspection dives.
WATER QUALITY β€’ EPA METHOD 150.1

Stormwater pH Monitoring & Calibration Rules

Under 40 CFR Part 136, stormwater pH must be analyzed within 15 minutes of sample collection using a properly calibrated field meter (such as the Oakton 30 pHTester) with 2-point buffer calibration and temperature compensation.

Key Factor: Sending stormwater pH samples to an offsite lab violates federal holding time regulations.
