 file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. We handle materials that may be regulated as hazardous substances as defined under CERCLA, or similar state statutes, in the course of our ordinary operations, but we are unaware of any liabilities for which we may be held responsible that would have a material adverse effect on us.

We also generate and accept for disposal from our customers wastes that are subject to the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes. RCRA regulates the generation, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of both non-hazardous and hazardous wastes, but it imposes more stringent requirements on the management of hazardous wastes. In the course of our or our customers’ operations, some amounts of ordinary industrial wastes are generated that may be regulated as hazardous wastes. Most E&P waste, if properly handled, is exempt from regulation as a hazardous waste under RCRA. However, it is possible that certain E&P waste now classified as non-hazardous waste and exempt from regulation as hazardous wastes may in the future be designated and regulated as “hazardous wastes” under RCRA or other applicable statutes. For example, in December 2016, the EPA and several environmental groups entered into a consent decree to address EPA’s alleged failure to timely assess its RCRA Subtitle D criteria regulations exempting certain exploration and production related oil and gas wastes from regulation as “hazardous waste” under RCRA. Pursuant to the consent decree, in April 2019, the EPA determined that revision of the Subtitle D criteria regulations pertaining to oil and gas wastes would not be necessary. In the future, any revision to the RCRA exclusion for drilling fluids, produced water and related wastes could result in an increase in the costs to manage and dispose of generated wastes and could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

In the course of our operations, some of our storage and process vessels, piping work areas and other equipment may be exposed to naturally occurring radioactive material (“NORM”) associated with oil and gas production. NORM-contaminated scale deposits and other accumulations exhibiting trace levels of naturally occurring radiation in excess of established state standards are subject to special handling and disposal requirements, and any storage and process vessels, piping and work areas affected by NORM may be subject to remediation or restoration requirements. It is possible that we may incur costs or liabilities associated with elevated levels of NORM.
