Environmental News
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act requires facilities that use extremely hazardous substances to develop risk management plans to prevent accidental releases that can cause serious harm to the public and the environment. In November 2019, EPA finalized changes to the Risk Management Program (RMP) Amendments to better address potential security risks, regulatory consistency, and reasonable consideration of costs.
The webinar discussion focuses on changes to incident investigations; public meetings following RMP-reportable accidents; emergency response exercises; and enhanced coordination with local emergency planners and responders.
To access a video recording and read a full description of the webinar, go to EPA’s website. Click on the Microsoft® Teams link under Links to view the recording. Then you can open your Teams app, download the app, or watch on the web.
Course slides are available upon request by emailing to: r7publicaffairs@epa.gov.
