EPCRAEmergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know

Act (EPCRA) of 1986 (EPCRA) was created to help communities plan for emergencies involving hazardous substances

The Act establishes requirements for federal, state and local governments, Indian tribes, and industry regarding emergency planning and "Community Right-to-Know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals

The Community Right-to-Know provisions help increase the public's knowledge and access to information on chemicals at individual facilities, their uses, and releases into the environment.

There are four major provisions of EPCRA: Emergency Planning (Sections 301 – 303) Emergency Release Notification (Section 304) Hazardous Chemical Storage Reporting (Sections 311 – 312) Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (Section 313)

SERCEstablishing procedures for receiving and

processing public requests for information collected under EPCRA

Committees (LEPC) for each districtSupervising the activities of the LEPC

LEPCLEPCs must develop an emergency response plan, review it at least annually Provide information about chemicals in the

community to citizensThe LEPC membership must include (at a

minimum): Elected state and local officialsPolice, fire, civil defense, and public health

professionalsEnvironment, transportation, and hospital officialsFacility representativesRepresentatives from community groups and the
