EPA’s “List of Lists” is a tool to use when determining the threshold amounts of a chemical and which program the chemical falls under for reporting purposes. CERLA regulates just over 1000 chemicals under this law and 700 hazardous substances subject to spill reporting under Section 304. 356 extremely hazardous substances from the “List of Lists”. Facilities that store EHS chemicals in reportable quantities, must report to the local fire department and the SERC.

Hazardous chemicals such as fuel oil and propane require a 10,000 lbs. threshold to report. Extremely hazardous chemicals such as ammonia or nitric acid require a 500 lbs. or less depending on its threshold planning quantity to report. 2500 facilities currently report to the SERC and local fire departments 500 of those are EHS or extremely hazardous substance facilities, about 100 have off-site consequences.
