INTRODUCTION
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986
establishes requirements for Federal,State, and local governments and
industry regarding emergency planning and "community right-to-know"
reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals.
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) is
divided into four major parts. You should be aware that there are certain
emergency planning, notification, and reporting provisions which industry
must fulfill under this Act. The requirements are as follows:
PART 1
Section 301-303: EMERGENCY PLANNING - Planning for Chemical
Emergencies. Requires facilities that store extremely hazardous sub-
stances in designated quantities to notify the State Emergency Response
Commission (SERC) and Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) as
well as to participate in local emergency response planning.
PART 2
Section 304: EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION - Emergency Notification of
Chemical Accidents and Releases. Requires facilities to immediately notify
the LEPC and SERC of releases of certain hazardous substances in
designated quantities.
PART 3
Section 311-312: COMMUNITY RIGHT-TO-KNOW REPORTING RE-
QUIREMENTS - Reporting of Hazardous Chemicallnventories. Under
Section 311, a facility that has Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs), or
any chemicals which meet OSHA definitions as "hazardous chemicals,"
above established threshold quantities, must submit a Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS), or lists of those chemicals, to the SERC, the LEPC, and the
fire department with jurisdiction over the facility.
The initial submission of MSDSs was due on October 17, 1987, or three
months after the facility is required to prepare or have available an MSDS
under OSHA regulations. An MSDS or a revised list must be provided,
however, when new hazardous chemicals become present at a facility in
quantities above the established thresholds levels after the deadline. A
revised MSDS must also be provided to update the original MSDS if
significant new information is discovered about the hazardous chemical.
Under Section 312, a facility must submit emergency and hazardous
chemical inventory forms for those same chemicals, to the SERC, the
LECP, and the fire department. The inventory form incorporates a "two-tier"
approach. Under the Tier I inventory form, a facility must identify an
estimate of the maximum amount of chemicals by hazard category present
at the facility at any time during the proceeding calendar year, an estimate
of the average daily amount of chemicals on site, and the general location
of hazardous chemicals in each hazard category.
If requested by the LEPC, the SERC, the local fire department or the public,
the facility must provide more detailed information on the Tier II form. This
-------
information includes the actual chemical name, a brief description of the
method of storage for the chemical, and the location of the chemical at the
facility. The owner of the facility may, however, elect to withhold the
location information from disclosure to the public.
Filing of inventory forms under Section 312 is required annually on March 1,
for all covered facilities.
PART 4
Section 313: TOXIC CHEMICAL RELEASE REPORTING - Reporting of
Routine Toxic Chemical Emissions from Certain Facilities. Under Section
313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act
(EPCRA) certain businesses are required to submit reports each year on
the amounts of chemicals their facilities release into the environment.
The reports must be sent to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and to designated state agencies. Reports are due by July 1
each year. Those who fail to report as required are subject to civil penalties
up to $25,000 per day per violation.
The final Toxic Chemical Release Inventory rule under Section 313 was
published in the Federal Register on February 16,1988. Since that time,
1.4 million dollars has been assessed in penalties in EPA Region II (New
York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) for failure to comply
with this regulation.
A plant or factory or other facility comes under the provisions of Section 313
if it meets all of the following criteria:
• If it conducts manufacturing operations - Standard Industrial Codes (SIC)
20 through 39;
• If, in addition to the above, it has 10 or more full-time employees; and
• If, in addition to the above, it manufactures, imports, processes, or other-
wise uses any of the chemicals on the following list in amounts greater
than the "threshold quantities" listed below:
- if you manufacture or process any of the listed chemicals the thresh-
old quantity would be:
25,000 pounds in 1989 and subsequent years
- if you use any listed chemical in any other way (without incorporating
it into any product or producing it at the facility), the threshold quantity
would be:
10,000 pounds in 1987 and subsequent years
The chemicals subject to reporting are listed on the following pages. Addi-
tions or deletions of chemicals from this list may result from petitions or
EPA's own review of the list. Any such changes will be by public notice and
comment rule making. The EPA will identify the reporting years to which
they apply.
