Which hotline should be contacted for all uncontained spills?

  1. MDEQ PEAS Hotline

  2. National Response Center

  3. Chemtrec Hotline

  4. MDEQ Waste Management Division

The correct answer is: MDEQ PEAS Hotline

The MDEQ PEAS (Pollution Emergency Alert System) Hotline is specifically designated for reporting uncontained spills in Michigan. This hotline is part of the state's emergency response system and is critical for managing environmental hazards that result from spills. Contacting this hotline ensures that the proper state authorities are notified immediately, which facilitates a timely and effective response to contain and remediate the spill, thereby minimizing environmental impact. While the National Response Center and the Chemtrec Hotline also provide valuable services in emergencies, they are generally oriented towards broader national issues and hazardous materials, respectively. The MDEQ Waste Management Division focuses more on waste handling and disposal regulations rather than immediate spill response. Therefore, for uncontained spills, the most appropriate and effective resource is the MDEQ PEAS Hotline.
