Compliance officers have relied on the Spill Reporting Procedures Guide since 1984 for information on how to deal quickly and accurately with accidental releases of chemicals and contaminants into the environment—and how to comply fully with federal and state hazardous waste requirements. The Guide includes verbal and written reporting requirements for oil, hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, hazardous materials, excess air emissions, wastewater incursions, tank leaks, and SARA Title III. In addition, the Guide contains emergency contact information and internet resources, including 24-hour hotline numbers; notification deadlines; jurisdictional maps and directories; sample reporting forms; and the telephone numbers and addresses of spill reporting offices, environmental protection agencies, police departments, state oil and gas commissions, and highway patrols.

The 2012 Edition has been revised to reflect all significant state and federal reporting requirements and guidance on whether you need to respond via an "800" number, by written report, or online. It also includes:

• 8 new forms, including new excess emissions forms for Connecticut, Indiana, and Massachusetts
• 8 updated forms, including revised spill report forms for 5 states
• Updates to the federal Reportable Quantities listing
• Expanded reporting requirements for oil incidents in Colorado, Minnesota, North Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming
• Changes to requirements triggered by hazardous substances and materials spills in Illinois, Nebraska, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Wisconsin
• Addition of online reporting links, as a result of increased use of internet resources by states and the federal government
• Continued revision of regulatory citations to include the most recent versions

Spill Reporting Procedures Guide, 2012 Edition is edited by Jeffrey J. Kimmel, a regulatory analyst and consultant based in Brookfield, VT, and former Senior Legal Writer with BNA's Environment Reporter.
