What questions was EPA trying to find answers to during its first round of sampling at the Norwood Landfill site?

What does it mean when EPA finds contamination that “exceeds screening levels?”
Screening levels are not the same as cleanup or action levels. An exceedance of a screening level indicates the need for additional evaluation, potentially including a site-specific risk assessment.

If EPA finds any contamination associated with the Norwood Landfill site that “exceeds” what is considered safe, will EPA clean up that contamination - even if the Agency cannot find any “pathways” for that contamination to reach humans or sensitive environments?

EPA will also consult with the…

SPCC requirements for transfer areas associated with exempt USTs
Gas stations typically are not subject to the SPCC Rule because completely buried storage tanks subject to 40 CFR Part 280 or 281 are exempt per §112.1(d)(4). However, a gas station would be subject to the SPCC Rule if it has more than 1,320 gallons of oil in aggregate above…

Do the changes in the 2006 Amendments apply to oil-filled manufacturing equipment?
No. The amendment does not change any requirements for oil-filled manufacturing equipment. Oil-filled manufacturing equipment remains subject to the SPCC requirements (including those for containment), but an owner/operator may determine that secondary containment is impracticable and comply with the alternative measures in section 112.7(d).

He/she must also have an inspection or monitoring program for the equipment to…
