What Is a Spill?
A spill is a discharge of any oil or hazardous material into the environment.
Per Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ);
Reportable spill or release include:
Reportable spill or release include:
- Any amount of oil to waters of the state;
- Oil spills on land in excess of 42 gallons;
- Hazardous materials and reportable quantities that are equal to the Code of Federal Regulations 40 CFR Part 302.
It is important to remember that even if the amount of material spilled is below the reportable quantity, cleanup is required.
Some spills will require separate notification to National Response Center per EPA's Emergency Response.
The responsibility of the spill cleanup lies with the person who spills the product, as well as the person owning or having authority over the oil or hazardous material.
