But under the General Duty Clause (GDC), the EPA still expects these facilities to identify hazards, maintain a safe system, and prevent accidental releases. While GDC sites are less likely to receive random “lottery” inspections, they will be thoroughly inspected if a release occurs. If you have onsite or offsite consequences, your fa
