INVENTORY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />1.13.7.1Hazardous Materials <br />In a regulatory context, the terms "hazardous wastes," "hazardous substances," and "hazardous materials" <br />have very precise and technical meanings: <br />Subpart C of the RCRA defines hazardous wastes (sometimes called characteristic wastes) as solid wastes <br />that are ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic. Examples include waste oil, mercury, lead or battery acid. In <br />addition, Subpart D of the RCRA contains a list of specific types of solid wastes that the USEPA has <br />deemed hazardous (sometimes called listed wastes). Examples include degreasing solvents, petroleum <br />refining waste, or pharmaceutical waste. <br /> <br />Section 101(14) of the CERCLA defines hazardous substances broadly. It includes hazardous wastes, <br />hazardous air pollutants, or hazardous substances designated as such under the Clean Water Act and <br />TSCA and elements, compounds, mixtures, or solutions, or substances listed in 40 CFR Part 302 that pose <br />substantial harm to human health or environmental resources. Pursuant to the CERCLA, hazardous <br />substances do not include any petroleum or natural gas substances and materials. Examples include <br />ammonia, bromine, chlorine, or sodium cyanide. <br /> <br />According to 49 CFR Part 172, hazardous materials are any substances commercially transported that pose <br />unreasonable risk to public health, safety, and property. These substances include hazardous wastes and <br />hazardous substances, as well as petroleum and natural gas substances and materials. As a result, <br />hazardous materials represent hazardous wastes and substances. Examples include household batteries, <br />gasoline, or fertilizers. <br /> <br />Aircraft fuel constitutes the largest quantity of hazardous substances stored and consumed at the Airport. <br />As described in Section 1.10.4, Aviation Fuel Storage, the main fuel facility is located off Lockheed Drive <br />and stores 81,000 gallons of fuel in AGTs. The USEPA identifies the Airport (Handler ID: ORD987188042) as <br />24 <br />a hazardous waste site under the RCRA.The USEPA also identifies two additional hazardous waste sites <br />on Airport property: <br />»USDOT FAA Eugene Ssc (Handler ID: OR0590500021); and <br />»Horizon Air Industries (Handler ID: ORQ000028852). <br /> <br />25 <br />There are no CERCLA superfund sites on or around the Airport. Additionally, there are no known <br />26 <br />contaminated sites on Airport property. <br /> <br />24 <br /> U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Envirofact, Hazardous Waste (RCRA Info).
