Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act Self-Assessment Tools
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know (EPCRA),
also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act (SARA), requires States to establish a process for developing local
chemical emergency preparedness programs and to receive and disseminate
information on hazardous chemicals present at facilities within local
communities. EPCRA also requires EPA to establish a publicly available
toxic chemical release inventory consisting of facility-specific chemical
release and waste management information. The implementing regulations
for EPCRA are found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in 40 CFR Parts 302
,
355
, 370 , and 372 Below are available checklists and audit protocols to help organizations
determine their compliance with EPCRA.
