The Newman Zone formulation contains no hazardous materials that would require, by law, an MSDS. To avoid confusion in the event of a spill of the material, RNAS, Inc. has chosen to produce an MSDS and to register with CHEMTREC. A copy of the MSDS is supplied with the material and is also available upon request.

Although nontoxic, a release of the material could have adverse effects on water quality (BOD loading) similar to those of a release of a high fat dairy product or other high fat food product.

Depending state and local regulations small amounts of the dilute amendment spilled on the ground surface rarely need to recovered and can be left to biodegrade on surface soils. If the concentrated amendment is spilled, care should be taken to avoid discharge into sewers, storm sewers, or surface waters.

The material may be recovered with absorbent pads or pigs, or recovered with a vacuum truck. Disposal will depend on local regulations. In most cases, relatively inexpensive disposal options for food wastes are available (including disposal to a wastewater treatment facility or landfarming).
