§ 117.3 Determination of reportable quantities.
Each substance in Table 117.3 that is listed in Table 302.4, 40 CFR part 302, is assigned the reportable quantity listed in Table 302.4 for that substance.
Table 117.3—Reportable Quantities of Hazardous Substances Designated Pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act
Note:
The first number under the column headed “RQ” is the reportable quantity in pounds. The number in parentheses is the metric equivalent in kilograms. For convenience, the table contains a column headed “Category” which lists the code letters “X”, “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” associated with reportable quantities of 1, 10, 100, 1000, and 5000 pounds, respectively.
