Regulatory Checklist of Federal Regulations Potentially Applicable to Die Casting Facilities

 NOTE:  Environmental law is a complex, rapidly changing area and requires attention to overlapping and sometimes conflicting laws at the federal, state, and local levels.  This checklist list is a compliance assistance tool developed as part of the NADCA/EPA Sustainable Industries Partnership. It provides guidance as to what federal regulations may apply to different aspects of your facility.

It does not include state or local requirements that may apply in addition or may be more stringent than the federal requirements.

It should not be considered as legal advice or opinion.
