EPCRA Section 312

EPCRA Section 312 requires facilities that handle certain hazardous chemicals above specific threshold quantities to maintain and report their chemical inventories annually. This information helps local emergency planners and responders prepare for potential chemical emergencies. Facilities must submit detailed lists of these chemicals and their amounts, enabling better community safety planning and risk management. The law aims to improve transparency about chemical hazards and ensure timely response in emergencies involving hazardous substances.
