Spill Reporting Threshold Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

After a release, you have minutes to work out the chemical, the quantity, whether it reached water and which agencies must be told by when. This agent takes the release facts and compares quantities and locations to the reporting thresholds that apply, such as reportable quantities, waterway rules and facility permit conditions. It tracks each deadline and drafts the reports required with the facts known so far. It asks for missing facts and rechecks the thresholds as numbers change. You approve every notification before it is sent. Edge case: a quantity reported as a range is checked at the upper end for the threshold and marked as an estimate.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It compares the quantity at the upper estimate to each threshold, adds location rules such as waterways, and sets deadlines from the discovery time.

  • Quantity at or above the reportable quantity: notification required
  • Reached a waterway or storm drain: apply the location rule regardless of quantity
  • Quantity given as a range: use the upper end
  • Facts change after sending: draft an update notice

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Threshold tables used
  • Agencies and contacts
  • Notification wording
  • Internal call list
  • Deadline reminder timing

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Each notification and update

Hard limits

  • Never send a notification
  • Never state a quantity as confirmed when it is an estimate

It stops when

  • Done: all required notifications sent and logged
  • Stop: release confirmed below all thresholds, record logged

An example run

What happensAt 10:20, a tank overflow was reported: 180 gallons of diesel, possibly reaching a drain. The agent set the quantity at 220 as the upper estimate. The facts were incomplete, so the check failed, and the responder confirmed the drain was reached. It found a waterway rule with a 2 hour call deadline and a written follow-up at 5 days. The engineer approved the call script and written draft.
