Environmental Health and Safety Services coordinates the University’s compliance with the federal Emergency Planning & Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). The main compliance requirement for the University under EPCRA is the submission of annual Tier II Reports (by March 1st of each year) for all hazardous substances present at the University in quantities that exceed the applicable reporting thresholds. EHSS collaborates with the University’s facilities staff to collect relevant information regarding the hazardous substances and then submits the required Tier II Reports to the applicable agencies.
Additional information regarding EPCRA and Tier II Reporting can be found in the following guidance document.
