Duplicate to be deleted - Emergency Planning and List of Extremely Hazardous Substances and Threshold Planning Quantities (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Duplicate to be deleted - Emergency Planning and List of Extremely Hazardous Substances and Threshold Planning Quantities (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is taking final action to revise the manner for applying the threshold planning quantities (TPQs) for those extremely hazardous substances (EHSs) that are non-reactive solid chemicals in solution. This revision allows facilities subject to the Emergency Planning requirements that have a non-reactive solid EHS in solution, to first multiply the amount of the solid chemical in solution on-site by 0.2 before determining if this quantity equals or exceeds the lower published TPQ. This change is based on data that shows less potential for non-reactive solid chemicals in solution to remain airborne and dispersed beyond a facility's fence line in the event of an accidental release. Previously, EPA assumed that 100% of non-reactive solid chemicals in solution could become airborne and dispersed beyond the fenceline in the event of an accidental release.
