EPA Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Fact Sheet
To be clear, the legislation calls for chemicals that have any hazard, such as those that require an MSDS to be reported at 10,000 lbs of chemical stored on site or for (EHS) Extremely Hazardous Substances at 500 pounds or the Threshold Planning Quantity, whichever is less.

 EPA List of Lists

The "List of Lists" is the commonly used name of the Consolidated List of Chemicals Subject to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and has been recently updated as of July 2011.

The List of Lists was prepared to help firms handling chemicals determine whether they need to submit reports under sections 302, 304, or 313 of EPCRA and, for a specific chemical, what reports may need to be submitted.

It also helps firms determine whether they will be subject to accident prevention regulations under CAA section 112(r).

To obtain the latest copy you may download an Adobe PDF or Microsoft Excel version from the EPA.

Stay tuned for a date, EPA has offered to host a training session on EPCRA for business on what to report and how in Erie County, NY.
