Facilities covered by The Emergency Planning and Community
Right to Know Act (EPCRA) must submit an emergency and hazardous chemical
inventory form to the LEPC, the SERC and the local fire department annually.
Facilities provide either a Tier I or Tier II form. Most States require the Tier
II form. Tier II forms require basic facility identification information,
employee contact information for both emergencies and non-emergencies, and
information about chemicals stored or used at the facility:
- The chemical name or the common name as indicated
on the MSDS;
- An estimate of the maximum amount of the chemical
present at any time during the preceding calendar year and the average daily
amount;
- A brief description of the manner of storage of
the chemical;
- The location of the chemical at the facility; and
- An indication of whether the owner of the
facility elects to withhold location information from disclosure to the public.
Some States have specific requirements in
addition to the Federal Tier II requirements. To obtain the current Tier II
reporting procedures in your State, please use State list below.
