Prevention and Response Branch - EPCRA
Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA)
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), also
known as SARA Title III, was enacted in November 1986. This law provided
an infrastructure at the state and local levels to plan for chemical
emergencies. Facilities that have spilled hazardous substances, or that
store, use, or release certain chemicals are subject to various reporting
requirements. All of this information is publicly available so that
interested parties may become informed about potentially dangerous chemicals
in their community.
Common EPCRA topics include: emergency planning, hazardous chemical
inventory reporting, and public access to chemical information.
