Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)

Important Reminders!

Please be sure to use the correct Tier Two reporting form! The Washington State Emergency Response Commission now requires reporting actual amounts of substances stored on site.

Please note there are no changes to reporting requirements this year.

Department of Homeland Security regulations for chemical facilities DO NOT impact EPCRA or Community Right-to-Know reporting responsibilities.
