What is the Emergency Planning and Community Right‐to‐Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 ABC West Texas • 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) www.youtube.com/watch? v=Qeo9WBRwF8s July 2018 Kansas LEPC Conference 3

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 July 2018 Kansas LEPC Conference 4

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 • Submitted to State Emergency Response Commission (KDHE), Local Emergency Planning Committee, and fire department by March 1 July 2018 Kansas LEPC Conference 5

Where to Find TPQs List of Lists • Includes thresholds for several regulations • EPCRA extremely hazardous substances TPQs found in Section 302 column • TPQs for common extremely hazardous substances in R7 • Ammonia (anhydrous) ‐ 500 pounds • Chlorine ‐ 100 pounds www.epa.gov/epcra/consolidated‐list‐lists July 2018 Kansas LEPC Conference 6

Searching Kansas Tier II Reports (cont.) July 2018 Kansas LEPC Conference 11

Issues with Chemical Names On Kansas Tier II Reports • No standardization • Abbreviations and trade‐names used • 7 versions of Anhydrous • 2,4‐D LV6 Ammonia (2,4‐Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, • Anhydrous Ammonia vs 2‐Ethylhexyl Ester) Ammonia Anhydrous • SALVO (2,4‐Dichlorophenoxyacetic • Sulfur vs Sulphur Acid, 2‐Ethylhexyl Ester) • Misspellings • Example: Anhydrouse Ammonia July 2018 Kansas LEPC Conference 12

Issues with Chemical Names On Kansas Tier II Reports (cont.) • No chemical abstracts service (CAS) number provided • Incorrect chemical reported • Chlorine vs sodium hypochlorite • Solutions report incorrect strength • 37% hydrochloric acid regulated under the Risk Management Program • 36% hydrochloric acid is not July 2018 Kansas LEPC Conference 13
