Today’s Agenda

Kansas LEPC Conference 2 July 2018

  • Regulatory Background
  • Tier II Reports
  • Information in Reports
  • Accessing Reports in Kansas
  • Finding Information on Chemicals
  • Emergency Planning Next Steps

SLIDE 3

What is the Emergency Planning and Community Right‐to‐Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986

  • Established local, tribal, and state emergency

planning groups

  • Facilities required to
  • Inform emergency planners what chemicals

are on‐site and facility contacts

  • Immediately report accidental releases
  • Annually inform communities about routine

and accidental chemical releases (EPCRA 313)

  • Also known as the Superfund Amendments and

Reauthorization Act Title III (SARA Title III)

What Facilities Submit EPCRA 312 Tier II Inventory Reports

  • Any facility where amount on‐site meets or exceeds
  • EPCRA extremely hazardous substance (EHS) threshold

planning quantity (TPQ)

  • Any other substance where OSHA requires a Safety Data

Sheet (SDS)

  • 10,000 or more pounds

EPCRA Tier II Reports

  • Include
  • Facility name
  • Address and GPS coordinates
  • Contact information
  • Amount of hazardous chemicals stored on‐site
  • Potential hazards
  • Locations of hazardous chemicals

Issues with Chemical Names On Kansas Tier II Reports

  • Abbreviations and trade‐names used
  • 2,4‐D LV6

(2,4‐Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, 2‐Ethylhexyl Ester)

  • SALVO (2,4‐Dichlorophenoxyacetic

Acid, 2‐Ethylhexyl Ester)

July 2018 Kansas LEPC Conference 12

  • No standardization
  • 7 versions of Anhydrous

Ammonia

  • Anhydrous Ammonia vs

Ammonia Anhydrous

  • Sulfur vs Sulphur
  • Misspellings
  • Example: Anhydrouse

Ammonia
