EPA SARA Title III
Section 302 EPCRA Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS): Sulfuric acid is a listed “Extremely Hazardous Substance” under
EPCRA, with a Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ) of 1,000lbs. EPCRA Section 302 notification is required if 500 lbs. or more of
sulfuric acid is present at one site (40 CFR 370.10). For more information consult 40 CFR Part 355.
Section 304 CERCLA Hazardous Substances: Reportable Quantity (RQ) for spilled 100% sulfuric acid under CERCLA
(Superfund) and EPCRA (Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act) is 1,000 lbs. State and local reportable
quantities for spilled sulfuric acid may vary.
Section 311/312 Hazardous Categorization: EPCRA Section 312 Tier II reporting is required for non-automotive batteries if
sulfuric acid is present in quantities of 500 lbs. or more and/or if lead is present in quantities of 10,000lbs. or more. For more
information consult 40 CFR 370.10 and 40 CFR 370.40.
Section 313 EPCRA Toxic Substances: 40 CFR Section 372.38(b) states: If toxic chemical is present in an article at a covered
facility, a person is not required to consider the quantity of the toxic chemical present in such article when determining whether an
applicable threshold has been met under 40 CFR’s 372.25, 372.27, or 372.28 or determining the amount of release to be reported
under 40 CFR 372.30. This exemption applies whether the person received the article from another person or the person
produced the article. However, this exemption applies only to the quantity of the toxic chemical present in the article.
The reporting of lead and sulfuric acid (and their releases) in lead acid batteries used in cars, trucks, most cranes, forklifts,
locomotive engines, and aircraft for the purposes of EPCRA Section 313 is not required. Lead acid batteries used for these
purposes are exempt from Section 313 reporting per the “Motor Vehicle Exemption.” See page B-22 of the U.S.EPA Guidance
Document for Lead and Lead Compound Reporting under EPCRA Section 313 for additional information of this exemption.
Always check your state/local requirements as they may differ.
