20    hazard   appears   to   warrant   such   action.   The  above
21    notwithstanding, any farm operation shall not  be  considered
22    as a facility subject to this definition.
23        Notwithstanding  the  above,  for  purposes  of this Act,

29    for any instance where the  Agency  provides  notice  that  a
30    significant release of a chemical substance has occurred at a
31    facility.   Such  assessment  shall explain the nature, cause
32    and known effects of  the  release,  any  mitigating  actions
33    taken,  and preventive measures that can be employed to avoid
34    a future release.  Such assessment shall be available at  the

17    its threshold planning quantity if it is also  an  "extremely
18    hazardous  substance",  and any petroleum including crude oil
19    or any fraction thereof that is present at a facility  in  an
20    amount  exceeding 100 pounds unless it is specifically listed
21    as  a  "hazardous  substance"  or  an  "extremely   hazardous
22    substance".  "Chemical substance" does not mean any substance
23    to  the  extent it is used for personal, family, or household
