Title III or The Emergency Planning and Community Right - To
- Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 was created to increase public knowledge
of and access to information on the presence of toxic chemicals
in communities, releases of toxic chemicals into the environment,
and waste management activities involving toxic chemicals. The
EPCRA establishes requirements for federal, State and local
governments and industry regarding Emergency Planning and Community
Right - To - Know reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals.
SARA
Title III or EPCRA under Section 312 of the Community Right
- To - Know Act requires owners or operators of a facility
to submit an emergency and hazardous chemical inventory to
the State Emergency Response Committees (SERC), the Local
Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC), and the local fire department.
These organizations encourage prevention, preparedness, and
quick response to chemical emergencies.
The
Compliance Group can provide this service for all of the following
states that are required to submit a SARA Title III report,
by submitting an inventory as a Tier Two Report that must
be filed by March 1st of each year. We provide up to date
forms and regulations for State and local agencies that have
the authority to modify reporting requirements as long as
the minimum federal guidelines are being addressed. It is
important that the owner or operator be familiar with the
"Right-to-Know" laws and that the reporting procedure
your company decides to use satisfies state reporting requirements.
