SECTION VI
Spill Notification
Environment Policy - Guidance on Spill Reporting
Reporting of spills is required under the following Federal legislation:
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)
Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) (often referred to as the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act, SARA Title - III).
Requirements for reporting under these acts are similar in that listed substances are assigned reportable quantities
whose exceeding during a spill event triggers reporting. Unfortunately, the reportable quantities are not always the
same between lists, and certain States require reporting of all spill events regardless of size of locations.
Compliance with these spill reporting provisions is mandatory, and it shall be the policy of Ice Cream Partners USA,
LLC., operating companies to notify the appropriate agencies (listed below) in the event of a reportable spill in a timely
manner (this should be as soon as possible after discovery of the spill). If questions arise, you should contact one of the
individuals listed below using your best ju, dgment. It is safer to report a non-reportable spill than to not report a spill
that is later deemed reportable.
The list of reportable substances is extremely lengthy, and most of the substances are of no concern to our operations,
however you need to be aware 6f the entire listing.
