Release reporting under CERCLA. Threshold Planning Quantities (TPQ) are for reporting Extremely Hazardous Substances for EPCRA reporting. These also vary from the requirements to report annually.

Good Afternoon,
 
Do "Reportable Quantities," RQ's, refer to storage or release?
 
In other words the RQ for chloroform is listed as 10 pounds and the RQ for silver nitrate as one pound.  Is there any requirement that storage of this amount of these chemicals in Texas be reported, and if so, to whom?  I can understand reporting release of these chemicals in the stated amounts, but reporting mere storage would require a lot of paperwork.
 
Thank you.
 
Ruth Ann
