LEPC's develop an emergency plan to prepare for and respond to chemical
emergencies. Because the LEPC's members represent the community, they should be
familiar with factors that affect public safety, the environment, and the
economy of the community.
The LEPC's receive emergency releases and hazardous chemical inventory
information submitted by local facilities, and must make this information
available to the public upon request. It must establish and publicize procedures
for handling these requests.
LEPCs have the authority to request additional information from facilities for
their own planning purposes or on behalf of others. LEPCs may want to visit
facilities in the community to find out what they are doing to reduce hazards,
prepare for accidents, and reduce hazardous inventories and releases.
In addition to its formal responsibilities, the LEPC serves as a focal point in
the community for information and discussions about hazardous substances,
emergency planning, and health and environmental risks.
LEPC meets quarterly in January, April,
July and October.
The meeting Schedule for 2006 has yet to
