AIRPORTS DESK REFERENCE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
CHAPTER 13. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
General. Federal, State, and local laws regulate hazardous materials use, storage, transport, or disposal. These laws may extend to past and future landowners of properties containing these materials. In addition, disrupting sites containing hazardous materials or contaminates may cause significant impacts to soil, surface water, groundwater, air quality and the organisms using these resources. Therefore, airport sponsors purchasing or developing land for airport purposes may encounter hazardous materials contamination. The environmental document should disclose and analyze information about hazardous materials.
Terms and definitions. Generally, the terms "hazardous materials," "hazardous waste," and "hazardous substances" are associated with industrial wastes, petroleum products, dangerous goods or other contaminates. But these terms have very precise and technical meanings that are used for consistency and legal purposes
Hazardous wastes. Regulations developed pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C, define this term. Hazardous wastes are solid wastes that are ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic (sometimes called “characteristic wastes”). In addition, Subpart D contains a list of specific types of solid wastes that the EPA has deemed hazardous (sometimes called “listed wastes”).
Hazardous substances. Section 101(14) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C. § 9601(14)) defines this term broadly. It includes hazardous waste, hazardous air pollutants, hazardous substances designated as such pursuant to the Clean Water Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act and elements, compounds, mixtures, solutions, or substances listed in 40 CFR Part 302 that pose substantial harm to human health or environmental resources. It should be noted that, pursuant to CERCLA, hazardous substances do not include any petroleum or natural gas substances and materials.
Hazardous materials. According to 49 CFR Part 172, Table 172.101, these are any substances or materials commercially transported that pose unreasonable risk to public health, safety, and property. They include hazardous wastes and hazardous substances as well as petroleum and natural gas substances and materials. As a result, the term "hazardous materials" represents hazardous wastes and substances in this Desk Reference.
Environmental Due Diligence Audit (EDDA). An EDDA is a systematic investigation of real property to determine if activities involving hazardous materials have occurred at a site or resulted in environmental contamination. An EDDA is also a form of pre-acquisition protection against CERCLA/RCRA liability and a defense in lawsuits addressing contaminated lands. If the Phase I EDDA indicates that the land is, was, or has the potential for such activities or occurrences, a Phase II EDDA attempts to verify and identify the existence of the materials. If necessary, a Phase III EDDA will delineate the amounts or

Framework Category 6.8 Hazardous Material, Waste, and Substance
Definition This section discusses the definition and the environmental analyses used for hazardous materials, waste materials and substances. Hazardous materials are usually chemicals that are used to create an explosive force within the rocket engine; while waste and substances, concerns the disposal of toxic solid materials and fluids.

Federal, State, and local laws regulate hazardous materials use, storage, transport, or disposal. These laws may extend to past and future landowners of properties containing these materials. In addition, disrupting sites containing hazardous materials or contaminates may cause significant impacts to soil, surface water, groundwater, air quality and the organisms using these resources. Therefore, airport sponsors purchasing or developing land for airport purposes may encounter hazardous materials contamination. The environmental document should disclose and analyze information about hazardous materials. b. Terms and definitions. Generally, the terms "hazardous materials" "hazardous waste" and "hazardous substances" are associated with industrial wastes, petroleum products, dangerous goods or other contaminates. But these terms have very precise and technical meanings that are used for consistency and legal purposes (1) Hazardous wastes. Regulations developed pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C, define this term. Hazardous wastes are solid wastes that are ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic (sometimes called “characteristic wastes”). In addition, Subpart D contains a list of specific types of solid wastes that the EPA has deemed hazardous (sometimes called “listed wastes”). (2) Hazardous substances. Section 101(14) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C. § 9601(14)) defines this term broadly. It includes hazardous waste, hazardous air pollutants, hazardous substances designated as such pursuant to the Clean Water Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act and elements, compounds, mixtures, solutions, or substances listed in 40 CFR Part 302 that pose substantial harm to human health or environmental resources. It should be noted that, pursuant to CERCLA, hazardous substances do not include any petroleum or natural gas substances and materials. (3) Hazardous materials. According to 49 CFR Part 172, Table 172.101, these are any substances or materials commercially transported that pose unreasonable risk to public health, safety, and property. They include hazardous wastes and hazardous substances as well as petroleum and natural gas substances and materials. As a result, the term "hazardous materials" represents hazardous wastes and substances in this Desk Reference. c. Environmental Due Diligence Audit (EDDA). An EDDA is a systematic investigation of real property to determine if activities involving hazardous materials have occurred at a site or resulted in environmental contamination.
