NDZs are established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or state authorities under the Clean Water Act.

Generally, the evacuation distance can range from 0.1 to 0.5 miles, depending on the risk associated with the contents of the tank and local regulations. It’s essential to consult specific safety data sheets and local emergency response guidelines for precise calculations.
