📢 #EPA announced new requirements to help protect the environment & communities by ensuring that certain industrial facilities have planned for and can respond to 'worst-case discharges' of hazardous substances to water. ✅ A 'worst-case discharge' would be the largest foreseeable discharge, including in adverse weather conditions, especially at facilities that could reasonably be expected to cause substantial harm to the environment based on their location. ✅ Plans must account for #ClimateChange extreme weather events and sea level rise, risks to drinking water supplies, and potential harm to communities, particularly overburdened communities with #EnvironmentalJustice concerns that are often disproportionately located near industrial facilities. https://lnkd.in/eBn5EVUD
