Tier II Reporting

Who is required to report?

The primary responsibility of an LEPC is to develop a comprehensive plan for the county. The basis of the plan is a hazard analysis, conducted at the local level using a combination of committee members' first-hand knowledge of the area, including its resources, traffic patterns, and reporting information submitted by facilities.

Facilities are required to file reports under a variety of sections of SARA Title III. The reporting requirements are based on the types of chemicals used or stored, the amounts of these chemicals, the activity in which the facility is engaged, the number of employees, and any releases that may occur. Reporting requirements are discussed in detail in the Compliance Guide [PDF]. Reports are due no later than March 1st every year for materials maintained on-site during a previous calendar year.
