EPCRA Section 304

EPCRA Section 304 requires facilities that handle certain hazardous chemicals to notify local authorities if they release these chemicals into the environment, such as through spills or other accidental releases. The goal is to ensure emergency responders and the community are promptly informed about chemical hazards that could impact health or safety. This notification helps coordinate emergency response efforts and promotes transparency, so everyone involved is aware of potential risks and can take appropriate precautions to protect public health and the environment.
