December 26, 2007, Canton, MI - Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA Title III), also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act, requires facilities to report information that can be vital to the community’s safety.  Over 6,000 facilities in Michigan annually submit Tier Two hazardous chemical inventory reports required by SARA Title III to the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs), and local fire departments.


Learn how to complete and submit the online Tier Two report at the 2008 SARA Title III Tier Two Workshops, presented by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality’s Environmental Science and Services Division. SARA Title III emergency planning notification requirements and chemical release reporting requirements in Michigan will also be addressed.

This half-day workshop is recommended for owners, operators, and environmental and safety personnel of facilities that have hazardous materials (material safety data sheets required by OSHA) on site.  Environmental consultants, LEPCs, and fire department personnel can also benefit from this workshop and are encouraged to attend.
