This week, the Environmental Daily Advisor discussed managing refrigerants, pesticides and endangered species reviews, and liability under CERCLA.
Here’s the Environmental Daily Advisor week in review.

Record Maintenance for Refrigerant Management-- Here’s a list of the records under the Clean Air Act that you need to keep, and keep organized, for a minimum of 3 years, if you handle and recover refrigerants.

Refrigerant Management Best Practices-- To ensure that your organization is prepared to meet refrigerant compliance requirements, you need a well defined and documented refrigerant compliance program. Here's a checklist to help you assess your refrigerant program.

ESA Pesticide Review Overlap -- Pesticide manufacturers seeking to bring their products to the market or keep them there sometimes must navigate the various problems encountered with endangered species reviews conducted by wildlife agencies under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

Improving ESA Pesticide Reviews --EPA has proposed to better integrate the Agency’s registration reviews of pesticides with endangered species reviews.

What EPA Means by ‘Affiliated’ Under CERCLA--If you want to purchase a contaminated property or if you own a property that has become contaminated from hazardous waste that has migrated from a contiguous property you may be able to escape liability as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under CERCLA provided certain conditions are met. One condition is that the party not be affiliated with the PRP.
