The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Water Act Hazardous Substances Facility Response Planning (FRP) rule is officially in effect as of May 28, 2024! 🌊🛑
While you have a three-year grace period to comply, understanding how this rule impacts your facility or corporation can be complex, especially with its ties to navigable waters of the State/US.
Previously, only facilities storing certain amounts of oil near sensitive environments needed FRPs and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure plans. But now, the new CWA FRP Rule expands these requirements to include facilities handling hazardous substances above certain thresholds.
If your facility is affected, you must prepare for worst-case discharge scenarios involving CWA-listed hazardous substances.
🔍 **Need guidance?** Our regulatory experts at AllenES are here to help you navigate the applicability process, plan preparation, modeling, and submission. Let’s ensure your business stays compliant and prepared.
📞 Contact us today to discuss how the new CWA Hazardous Substance FRP Rule impacts you!

RCRA Subtitle D is a groundbreaking law that changed how the U.S. manages solid waste, setting the stage for cleaner, safer communities.
Fun Fact: Enacted in 1976, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) was one of the first federal laws to focus on environmentally sound waste management. Subtitle D specifically addresses non-hazardous waste like household garbage.
Why It Matters: RCRA Subtitle D established the framework for proper waste management, driving innovation and expertise that helped Allen Engineering and Science become leaders in solid waste management engineering – roots planted 30 years ago.

Navigating PFAS Regulations: Are You Prepared?
The EPA’s final rule designating two specific per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS), namely PFOA and PFOS, as hazardous substances under CERCLA was finalized on April 19, 2024 and went into effect July 8, 2024.
How does this action affect how you manage your residuals, land transactions and ongoing / previously closed assessment and remediation actions?
Other applicable Federal rules including Safe Drinking Water, NPDES, TRI, and TSCA are already codified with RCRA months away. Is your company and operations ready for the direct and indirect impacts and liabilities created by this avalanche of regulation and requirements?
AllenES’ multidisciplinary PFAS/Emerging Contaminants Services Team has developed a proactive framework to help navigate and manage your operations to understand, mitigate and control costs and liability associated with this minefield.
