A Release is when a hazardous substance goes from a controlled condition (for example, inside a truck, barrel, storage tank, or landfill) to an uncontrolled condition in the air, water, or land.
So a release means the emission or discharge of a substance from the facility site to air, surface waters, or land and includes a spill or leak.
