Activate ngut-miiy and mgdia irfaiinm plana NOW. 2. Make your cantata aware of Section 313 information before it is wmimmm+A pablidy. Consider an internal communications program aimed at informing and educating employees about the facility's emissions, the associated short-term mid long-term risks and emission reduction programs. Open the subject up for discussion in small group meetings. Answer questions, address concerns. Employees should be reminded fhaf official outside inquiries about plant operations should be referred to designated spokespersons. 3. Be prepared for attention from the media and the public. Train spokespersons and equip them with understandable messages. Have a working knowledge of how to communicate risk. 4. Be sure yon have health-based TMiMiiiiy standards for the r*vni**t* for which yon will report rwitmons and release data. CMA has identified several technically valid methods which can be used to evaluate community exposure guidelines. 5. Take every opportunity to make this information public before the mandatory July 1 deadline.. Look for occasions to discuss health, safety, and emergency response programs and emissions and release data. Explain the potential impacts and health significance involved and what your facility and company are doing to minimize them. Several companies have already met with local media and community leaders to discuss emissions data. Plant managers report that in most cases, after meeting with them, they received balanced media coverage and a fair hearing from the community. 6. Establish a plane managers' network to share experiences, information and advice. Gain an understanding of the total emissions in your geographic area. One Texas faculty recently reactivated a plant managers' group that had become part of the local CAER group several years ago. Managers decided they needed to discuss industry's approach to Title m information before addressing larger audiences. 7. rnmifirr t ptuaoivc approach to nnproying air quality. Consistent with CMA's Air Quality Program guidelines, collect emissions data. Model to determine ambient air quality. Consider other methods, such as monitoring if necessary to obtain additional information. If reasonable community standards are available, or if state and federal standards exist, use as a basis for comparison; Where possible, reduce emissions. Tell the community what you're doing and wny. 8. Address community concerns about releases to land and water, m addition to the air. 14 vvv 000008557 This issue of "Communicating Title tit" is devoted to media coverage of the July 1 emissions reporting deadline. "There have been no horror stories and reporting appears to be balanced," says Jon Holtzman, CMA's vice president of communications. "Companies that chose to communicate directly with the public were treated fairly. Some facilities, however, are counting on Local Emergency Planning Committees to communicate with the public. I hope they reconsider because we are seeing some of the confrontive environmental groups putting their own spin on the data." The consensus of the CMA Communications Committee is that companies heaved a collective sigh of relief as the July 1 deadline passed without a great deal of hue and cry from the media or communities, but that feeling may be premature. As someone said, "Everybody seems pleased that we gave them the data -- but they haven't had a chance to study it yet." "No one really believes the quiet will last," says Holtzman, "so it is best to be prepared for a storm by continuing, or starting, to communicate with the employees, the public, government officials and the media." ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS PREPARE TO CHALLENGE INDUSTRY One of the reasons for the quiet surrounding the release of Title III emissions data is that some public interest groups haven't finished gathering the data they need to make an issue of facilities' air emissions. Nevertheless, some groups have started to use the data to attack industry's performance. The National Toxics Campaign (NTC), a Boston-based organization, is undertaking the Chemical Industry Responsibility Project. NTC recently developed a strategy to confront corporations at the local, state and national levels. The strategy consists of gathering information systematically about a company's liability at Superfund sites, economic performance, occupational health and safety record, labor-management relations, Third World development and export policies and a host of other categories. After a series of meetings at which data were reviewed, NTC members narrowed target candidates to Row and Monsanto. The decision was based partially on how the location of existing grassroots anti-toxics groups matched up with facility locations. NTC expects to launch the Chemical Industry Responsibility Project over the next year. Greenpeace is conducting a boat trip down the Mississippi River to investigate chemical management practices at facilities a long the river. In preparing for its investigation, it wrote to facilities located along the river and requested that they fill out and return a "Toxics Usage Reduction and Waste Reduction Survey." A Monsanto facility in Muscatine, la., and two in St. Louts received the survey. 000000558 wvv Greenpeace also sent a similar letter and the identical survey to American Cyanamid's Bound Brook, N.J. facility. Copies of the cover letters and survey are attached. In Maryland, the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has gathered data from the State Emergency Response Commission. The NRDC also sent newspaper reporters throughout the country a letter and a list of questions to ask facilities. Questions include: What toxic chemicals are manufactured at your facility? What are the health and environmental effects of the chemicals you manufacture? and How do emissions from your facility compare with those from similar facilities? The complete list of questions is enclosed. The Sierra Clubrs Louisiana chapter held a meeting in New Orleans on July 23. The meeting informed citizens of Title III requirements and the kinds of information citizens may request under the law. Similar meetings will he held In Baton Rouge in late August and in Lake Charles in September. In the words of Sierra Club literature, the meetings "highlight the impact of industry on the environment." In November, the Sierra Club and the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union will cosponsor the Great Louisiana Toxics March at which there will be songs, food and workshops on the relationship of industry to the environment. In Texas City, Texas, OMB Watch, a Washington-based public interest group and spinoff of the Nader group of organizations, sponsored a four-hour seminar on Title ITT. The seminar was open to the public. An OMB Watch representative presented an overview of the law and focused on citizens' rights and state and local responsibilities under Title III. About 20 people, including one industry representative, attended the seminar. CMA's Title III Community Awareness Workbook contains information on how to undertake communications activities related to the activities of environmental groups in your area. Section 1 (p.14, reprinted on the back of the cover page), Section 2 fpp.19-22) and Section 3 (pp.23-33) offer guidance. *** Title III activities, particularly those deating with Section 313, are many and varied. To help CMA keep you and others informed, please let us know about activities of environmental groups, state and local government and your state chemical industry organization and facility. Please send materials to: CMA Communications Department, Title III, 2501 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037, or call (202) 887-1215.

DC 20005 202 783-7800 TO: Environmental and Business Reporters FROM: Deborah A- Sheiman, Resource Specialist RE: Toxic Release Data OATS: June 21, 1983 On July l, manufacturing plants that handle large quantities cf 323 acutely and chronically toxic chemicals will he required, for the first time, to make public reports of their discharges to land, air and water. The reports*must be filed with ERA and state governments; many companies may also have press events to release them to the public simultaneously. NRDC*wants to alert you to these upcoming events, give you background information, and suggest questions and issues you may want to pursue. The reporting requirements were established by Section 313 of the 1986 Emergency Planning and Community Right To Know Act, adopted with amendments to the Superfund law. The law directs ERA to compile the reports into a computerised database known as the Toxic Release Inventory, with online access via personal computers and modems to be provided "to any person." Information aoout the sources of toxic air, water, and land pollution will be invaluable to researchers, regulators, members of the press, and the general public who simply want to find out what chemicals are being released into the environment. we encourage you to obtain the information from ERA, the state, or industries. The data will be placed on the National library of Medicine's TQXNET computer network, but public access to the computer is not expected until spring of 1989* Prior to computerization, ERA will be establishing a public reading room in Washington, D.C. for access to hard codes cf the Wtf 000008563 :uw% --*&- fltMr New York Office: 122 But 42nd Street New York.

The forms should also be available from state governments and industry itself. The enclosed list identifies stats contacts. Some states will be computerising the information on their own, but many others will await receipt of a computer tape from ?A. We expect that many companies will be releasing their reports to the media and to local communities (including the Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC) set up under this law) on or before July 1. This may occur up to nine months before the public at Large has access to the data via the computerised database or other means. Industry will make a great effort to characterize their toxic releases in a favorable light. The Chemical Manufacturers Association has distributed a public relations manual on "risk communication" and has been running workshops to advise plant managers how to "effectively communicate" aoout their toxic emissions to the media and the public. For instance, companies are advised to compare current emissions with higher levels allowed by permits of that occurred in the past, and to emphasize the "benefits" of the chemical, while certain of these chemicals may have beneficial uses, there is no benefit from environmental contamination% during production. when the computer database is available on-line, you will be able to hook into it directly to perform a variety of analyses, such as ranking the largest polluters in a community or state, determining the toxic pollutants emitted in greatest quantity, calculating the total pollutant discharge to a waterway or airshed, identifying toxic hotspots, comparing control efficiency from facility to facility, and analyzing trends in pollution and pollution control. On July l, however, you will have only industry press releases or hard copy versions of the data, at best, we have outlined some questions you may wish to ask 'to put the information you obtain into perspective. lThe reading room will operated by an EPA consultant. It will open on July 13 and will*be located at: Title III Eecortihg Center, Suite 7103, 470/490 L'Enfant Plaza, Washington, DC 20022. The telephone number there is: (202)438-1501. written requests for information may be addressed to: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, P.Q. 3ax 70266, Washington, DC 20024-0255 Attn: Public Inquiry. 2 vvv 00000956^ Environmental Releases o what substances are emitted in the largest quantity? o what are the major sources of chemical releases? o What are the total chemical releases to air, land and water? o For a particular plant? o For a given geographic area? o For all the tributaries of a river basin? o On a per capita basis? o Are there other major sources in your community that are not covered by the inventory, such as hazardous waste sites, warehouses, or solvent users? o what other toxic chemicals are released? For example, reporting under Section 313 is not required* for 47 of the toxic water pollutants otherwise regulated under the Clean Water Act. There are no reporting requirements for toxic . byproducts, such as dioxin and dibenzofurans. Health and Environmental Effects o what are the health and environmental effects of the chemicals released? The chemicals on the reporting list were selected because of concerns about their toxicity. According to an analysis done for E?A, 33 percent of the substances on the list are carcinogens, 32 percent.are mutagenic, 44 percent are acutely toxic, 33 percent are chronically toxic, 16 percent are reproductive toxins, IS percent are embryotoxic, and 12 percent are teratogenic. (The figures add up to more than lao^s because some substances have more than one effect). The enclosed EFA table identifies effects of concern for the listed chemicals based on a preliminary screening of scientific information/ 31anJcs on the table may indicate either that there is no concern over this effect or that the chemical has not been tested. A study by the National Academy of Sciences found that only a small fraction of toxic chemicals in commerce 3 VVV 000008565 tiave been adequately tested for toxicological effects. o wtiat effects has the particular_chemical been tested for, and what effects have not been tested? For more specific information, states have been provided with a set of fact sheets prepared by the State of New Jersey which discuss the health effects of occuoational exposure to these chemicals. These fact sheets do not discuss effects for which chemicals have not been tasted, either. Please note that the New Jersey fact sheets focus on occupational exposure and thus do not provide complete information on health effects to the general population (which includes sensitive individuals that may be exposed 24 hours per day) or on environmental effects. Basis of Emissions Estimates o what is the basis of the amissions estimates? --Actual monitoring of emissions and effluent at the point of release? The law requires that monitoring information be used if' it is available. Actual measurements provide the most accurate information. --Mass balance calculations? This involves a measure of chemical throughput and calculating how much of the chemical is consumed- in the manufacturing process and how much is left over as an environmental release. In lieu of monitoring, this is the next best method for estimating releases. -- 'Engineering judgment"? This is a somewhat vague term". How were emissions actually calculated? --Emissions Factors? If emissions factors were used, were these EFA's factors, or the industry's own factors? This can make a big difference in the validity of emissions estimates. whatever the basis of the numbers, these are estimates which may be off by as much as an order of magnitude. The **basis of the estimate** cited on the form actually represents the predominant method used. For instance, if monitoring information was available for only sixty percent of the emissions sources, submitters will identify "monitoring** as the basis of the emissions estimate. 4 VVV 000008566 Exposure and Risk Assessments: Ambient Monlto_cinq__ys Computer Modelling a Has the industry measured or merely estimated human exposure to the chemicals? Are the estimates provicea annual average concentrations or hourly or daily peak concentrations? Does the underlying data support these estimates? For examole, if a company reports a release of 5,000 pounds per year of the acutely toxic chemical phosgene were these emissions released evenly over the course of the year or were they all released in a ten minute accident? Dispersion models which assume an even rate of release throughout the year can underestimate shorttarm peak concentrations by one thousandfold. This can make the difference between a narmiess release and a catastrophe. o Is the plant located near a watar body, in mountainous terrain, or surrounded by nearby buildings? These factors can cause dispersion models to underestimate ambient concentrations of pollutants. o Are air or watar quality monitors (if any) located downwind or downstream of the disposal locations? How far are 'they from the point of discharge? 'what specific chemicals do they monitor? How many monitoring stations are there? How often do the monitors collect samples? Continuously? Once a week? Every other year? o what concentrations have been detected? It may be the total environmental loading that is if interest. Ear example, if persistent chemicals such as heavy metals or chlorinated hydrocarbons are being discharged into a waterbody, these substances can build up in the sediments and be taken up by aquatic life. For other chemicals such as chlorofluorccarbcns or carbon tetrachloride that cause depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, it is the total discharge that is significant. Many of the chemicals on the 313 list are volatile organic compounds that contribute to the formation of ozone smog. For carcinogens, there is no "safe* level of exposure. Dependence on dispersion modeling to explain awav toxic releases assumes that it is acceptable to rely on the environment to absorb the disposal of toxic wastes. Furthermore, for many of these chemicals, there are no 3 VVV 000008567 federal environmental standards against which to compare predicted concentrations. o Has tile ccmoany provided a quantitative assessment of cance risks and then compared these figures with the risks associated with natural events or every day activities? The-e is inherent uncertainty in cancer risk assessment models, and a danger of underestimating risks even when models are said to be "conservative.'* tfone of the models take into account the interactive effects of exposure to a multitude of chemicals from a variety of sources. o Is the reported risk for the most exposed persons or a oarson with average exposure? Xf total incidence of cancer is reported, is information also provided on the risk for the most exposed individuals? Trade Secrets o Has the company kept the identity of any chemical releases secret? The emphasis of the community right to know law is on public disclosure. The only information which may ever be claimed as trade secret is chemical identity, even then under very narrow circumstances. One of the four factors which claimants must substantiate is that: The information is not required to be disclosed, or otherwise made available, to the public under any other Federal or State law. NRDC believes that the federal Clean Air Act and Clean water Act require public disclosure of emissions and effluent data and therefore that air and water releases may not ba claimed as trade secret. Xou may challenge claims of trade secrecy by filing a petition with EFA. False claims of trada secrecy may be punishable by a $10,000 fine. Accidental vs. Routine Releases o Do the total releases reported include "accidental'' soills and releases, as required by S?A? ~ o VVV 000008568 o Has tiie company reported its accidental releases has the company reported to the National Response Center and the Local Emergency Planning Committee? Pollution Control Technologies and waste Reduction o what are the specific sources of the toxic releases within the facility? o Do these specific sources have pollution controls? what is the degree of control? o What are the major sources that are uncontrolled? o Are there additional control measures available? why haven't they been installed? o Are there less toxic substitutes or closed processes which could be employed? o Kow do emissions from this facility compare with emissions from similar facilities? o Are claimed reductions in emissions due to installation of pollution controls or a cutback in production? o Has the company ever analyzed what can be done to further reduce releases? Permit Limitations o Are there any federal, state, or local standards governing releases of these specific substances? o Are these health-based standards or technology-based standards? what is the basis of the standards? when were they last updated? o Has any level off government imposed actual emissions reduction requirements for these specific chemicals on the plant For air releases? For water releases? For groundwater releases For land releases? o What local, state and federal permit limits is the facility subject to? For which specific pollutants? Is it in violation of any of its permit limits? Many facilities may assert ohat they are "in ccmolianca with all environmental standards." This claim can be 7 VVV 000008569 misleading. For many of the chemicals there are no pollution standards, due to the slow pace of EPA, state, and local clean-up programs* For instance, under the Clean Air Act,*there are emissions standards for only seven specific hazardous air pollutants. In any case, permits are often way out of date; compliance with them does not mean that the releases are safe or acceotable. Data Management o How will the state organize and make accessible the 213 reports that are filed with them? o How will SPA arrange far public access to the data prior to computerization? o what provisions has SPA made to provide hard copy printouts and analyses of the data? Section 313 requires EPA to make information available by means other than computer telecommunications, to ensure that public access is afforded to all members of the public. The legislative history makes clear that "other means" may include "responding to reasonable requests-for printouts of data or analyses" as well as publication of "the * inventory or summaries of the data." o How will requests for fee waivers be accommodated? The Conference Report provides that EPA may reduce or waive fees for access to the Toxic Release Inventory information when sucn action is in the public interest and consistent with other purposes of Section 212. 3 VVV 000008570 INDEX Associated Press Baltimore Sun Baton Rouge Morning Advocate/State Times Baytown (Texas) Sun Business Insurance (Chicago, 111.)

W 43.768 36 / Business Insurance, May It, 1961 EPA chemical report requirement begins July 1 By DEBORAH SHALOWITZ WASHINGTON--Chemical manufacturers will be subject to a cosily new federal rule on July I that requires them to annually report chemical inventories, waste treatment pro* grams and chemical emissions into the environment. The rule, developed by the U.S. Environmental Protec tion Agency, will cost employers about $500 million in 1818 and as much as S300 million annually thereafter, the agency estimates. Approximately 30,000 facilities will be subject to the rule, according to the EPA. Furthermore, the EPA estimates it could take up to 400 hours to Jill out each form. Employers willfully disregarding the rule can be fined up to $25,000. The rule requires manufacturers with 10 or more full-time employees that use more than 10,000 pounds of any of more than 300 chemicals to report the amount of the chemi cals in the workplace, the amount released into the environ ment and how the chemicals are processed into waste. These manufacturers must submit forms covering 1901 chemical use by July I. Also, facilities that in 1981 made or processed more than 15,000 pounds of any of the specified chemicals must meet the same deadline. However, those threshold amounts for chemical producers and processors will drop over the next two years. Facilities that make or process more than 50,000 pounds of these chem icals in 1988 must submit the reports in 1989, and facilities that make or process more than 25.000 pounds of these chem icals in 1989 and thereafter must submit annual reports. A form for each chemical must include data such as: The company's name, location and type of business. Certification by a senior official of the company that the report is complete and accurate. Whether the chemical is manufactured or processed and how it is used. Estimates of the maximum amounts of the chemical present at any lime during the preceding year. Waste treatment and disposal methods for dealing with the chemical and the efficiency of each method. The quantity of the chemical entering the environment. If an application is improperly filled out. the EPA will give the company 30 days to correct it without penalty. However, the EPA may levy a fine of up to $25,000 for "intentional non-compliancea'"saut an EPA spokeswoman. The new rules will be '`extremely burdensome" to small companies, according to Leslie Aubin, a legislative repre sentative for the National Federation of Independent Busi ness in Washington. Most small companies "don't have an in-house person who can really take care of this for them," she said. The rule "can he pretty onerous for companies in the chemical industry," agreed Jill Gilbert, an associate with Pilko it Associates Inc., a Houston-based business, environ mental and real estate consultant She noted that "the July I deadline is sneaking up on people" and "for some of the larger companies it could lake several man-months of work" tu fill out the farms Marion Hera, manager of health, safely and chemical regu lations lor the Chemical Manufacturers Assn, in Washington, said the rule will be "more difficult (or sume companies than for others." depending on how many people work for the lirm and can take the time to fill out (he forms. Ms. Herz pointed out that the rule does not require chem ical companies to process materials differently, just collect information. However, she emphasized that pulling together all the information requested is very time-consuming. But, the information requested is "pretty fair for the most part," she said. The reports will allow the EPA to compile a data base on the normal ongoing release of toxic chemicals into the en vironment. the agency explained. An EPA spokeswoman added that "we want to make sure that people aren't exceeding annual (emissions) limits." The EPA was charged with this mandate by a section of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorizalion Act of 1986 called Title III--The Emergency Planning and Community Righl-To-Know Act of 1986. A complete list of the chemicals covered by the rule is available from the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Information Hotline. 401 M St. S W., WH- 562A. Washington.

Dead Creek, an ecologieal horror story all by itself, slithers for 7 miles through the towns of that long--began manifesting strange behavior. Sauget and Cahokia in southwestern Illinois, one of the most severely polluted areas of the state. Bod) small towns, across the Mississippi River from St Louis, hove a dear view of the Gateway Arch. They also have air that reeks of chemical and manufacturing odors--scents that even babies come to know as landmarks. Karen Harper of Cahokia recalls the day she was returning home from the hospital with her newborn son. "He crinkled his nose and I said, `Boy, when you mu II ilmi| wm mrrlim to home.* " - Hi hut summer winds are redolent of burning rubber, a throat-grabbing sweet scent of cleaning fluid, and the nose-tingling aroma of bleach. As a result;* the an* nouncement last Thursday by Monsanto Chemical Co.* that it pumped 3.8 million pounds of toxic chemicals into f u its Sauget plant during 1987 was met largely with a shrug in the Sauget- Cahokia area. . Companies across the country on Friday report ed for the first time then* nrmi total omssoiis of toxic chemicals into air, land and water to the U.S. Environmental Protec tion Agency. - About 30,000 companies were expected to report, although industrial groups say there is some con fusion over who is covered by the 1986 CommunityRight-to-Know Acl Monsanto went public with the information, since the reports are intended to alert communities to toxic chemical hazards from plants in their midst It insisted that its. *--?. were within safety limits ' but said neverthdess-that it would spend $59 million by 1991 to dean off ermsswas from its 100 plants woridwiefe, "As a result communities aooss die nation are fbr the first time--that nearby in- plants are using one or more of 327 chemi cals designated by the EPA as* very dangerous. Many of these plants were not recognized before A resident in 1980 reported that his dog rolled in the creek and died the next day of chemical bums.* Caholria's fire department was called out repeated ly to put out flames or quench smoldering fumes in the creek bed. The flams and smoke would only spring up again after firefighters left At about the same time, Caholria's fire chief. Her- dial Riddle, described the eerie sight of Dead Creek at night: "You'd see a blue gipw, like the bottom, of a flame on the stove." The EPA in 1982 erected a fence around put of. Dead Creek, near the Monsanto plant, because of. the danger of skin bums from coming in contact with the creek. The fire department says it doesn't get many these days because of fires in the creek. But just when, residents .of Sauget and Cahokia began thinking all the stories aboutrDcad Creek were just a bad dream, the mmols' Environmental Protec tion Agency found perfectly .good reasons; for the. honor stories. '* Terry Ayers, Dead Creek site manager forthe. HE-; i nois EPA, said recent studies of the Saufle^CahoiriaT' area found 16 chemical dumping grounds-that pose- '.' serious environmental and health hazards. . " : ' : . ; The state agency is hoping the federal government, will declare the whole area a candidate for emergen cy cleanup under the Superfiind program, since the creek and the polluted ground water flow into the nearby Mississippi River. The tests, said Ayers, discovered 25 toxic chemi cals in the creek and surrounding areas--including chemical phosphorus, which bums when opposed to air. "That bears out the buming-dog legend,** said Ayers. It would also account for the creek smolder ing and bunting into flames, or giving off a blue glow at night. In some communities, such a finding might trigger outrage. But in Cahokia, it is cause for an almost perverse pride that is sometimes found in heavily polluted neighborhoods. "We*ve lived here 42 yean," said Mary Royal of Cahokia. "Never been nek and never been in the hospital We might not be able to live in a- place as potential hazajds, such as the one operated by with dean air. Then I'd probably get sick."

NC SOUTHERNER a Ml Hazardous substance law could affect homeowners Br TONY BROW-^ Staff Writer GREENVILLE -- Lwfc of knowledge about the requirements of a 1996 fedoal law baa resulted in wide-spread failure to property report dare concerning the produc tion. use. or storage of hazardous subdanrex according p a chemical industry officiaL Hoi failure to comply could coat you up to $25,000 per day. Speaking as a meeting held do help spread die ward about the re quirements of the Supeiftind Areemhnems and Remahorizstioa Act (SARA), Chemical Maaifectiler's Assnriaiion spokesman Joe Hoitxmao said that while about 90 p----* of chemical compmnea haw mes its requirements, only about 2) pescoa ownll of those who fail tinder the act's pnmsioui haw complied. Ever honeou am may fall un der the requirement to report. For inttaace, 10 pounda of chtorina iiomd for use in a pool meat the threshold for thm chemical. A hun dred pounds of the same material would meet the threshold for meet ing further requirements, md Vrtm Kea. assistant director of the stae Divtaoa of Ewcigacy Man agement Ha said amounts of certain sub stances as little as one pound are reputable in some eases. "We need you (the media) to get the message out about what SARA is all about." ha said. "While the wording says `facility,' tint could mean a waatawawr treatment plant, a motel which uses ddorme far its pool or awn somn farmers.'* He said Title ID of SARA has four mayor provisions: emergency planning: emergency notification: community right-to-kaow reporting reqeueawaa; toxic * u--i--i release reporting and emimkmi in ventory. Kee said that North Carolina has met the law's requtremeaa as far as setting up an emergency respenm commission for the state and local emergency planning coremiuecj in all 100 counties. Those local committees' primary duty is to develop an anergeucy response plan by October 17, using information provided by tnw {ail ing tinder the provisions of the lave Those plans must include: identification of affected facilities aid rentes used to transport extremely hazardous sub stances. emergency response procodates, both on and off-sire. designation of a community coordamor and facility coonfinamr to implemem tha plan. methods for determining the occurrence of a release {including enusBond and tha probable affec ted area and population. a descriptioa of community and industrial unagency equipment and facilities and the identity of persona responsible for them. evacuation plans. methods and schedules for exerasing emergency response plana (such as one conducted new MfiTffHi weanmsyj. The local committees' attoition wiB focus on, but not be limited to, 402 exsemely haiawhna nihnaa cea as published in the Nowmbm 17, 1986 Federal Register. Tha list inducted the threshold planning quantities for each suttttancw. wnich may be revised by the En vironmental Protection Agency based on the chwecteriatie of the substance. Any facility that produces, uses or stores an amount of any listed chemicals above the threshold ptaMtag quantity is subject to tha emergency planning requirements. The stats commission or governor can also designata additional facilities, after public comment, to be subject to those requiremreiu. All affected fxtiities were to have notified the state by May 17. 1987 that they fell under the act. Facilities that begin to produce, use or store any of the extremely haurdous rabsonces in threshold quantity amount! must notify the rate comtmssiaa within 60 days. While tha EPA haa yet to esaiK lisb an enforcement method, a pro vision in the law tint provides for up to a 322,000 fine per day for violations should be plenty of in centive far compliance, said Kea. "I don't know anybody who's got that kind of many to waste." homed. Under the dm law's provisiam. affected facilities ate required to immediately notify the local emer gency planning committee and die stae emwgency responm commis sion if there is a release of a listed hazardous mbtanre that exceeds the limit. The notification can be by tele phone. radio or in person, or in die cam of a nnsponauon accident, by telephone. It should include infor mation such as the chemical name, its haewdness. an estimate of tha quantity, time and dtntion of die release and what precautions might be needed. Fottow-up emergency notice is required after the release, to pro vide flather information on (he actual response, any known or an ticipated dam or chronic health risks associated with the release and advice regarding any medical attention necessary for exposed in dividuals. Two community-right-toknow requirements already in effect) fCuxjrmM A*1 SARA rt>piy primarily to manufacturers and importers. They mandate that facilities required to prepare material safety data sheets must submit copies to the local planning committee.' the state commission and the local (ire deportment. Section 313 of Title III requires the EPA to establish an inventory of toxic chemical emissions from cer tain facilities. Those failing under this requirement mus submit *wg chemical release forms for specified chemicals by Inly 1 and annually thereafter each July 1. Included in that reporaag re CeaMmteti hem front * quirement is information such as: an estimate of the maximurn amours of tha toxic chemical pres ent at any time during the preced ing yew. waste treatinent/disposai meth ods and the efficiency of methods for each wasteareare. the quantity of the chemical en tering each environmental medium (air. ground, water) annually. Key dates to remember for those affected are July I, when covered facilities must submit their initi^ toxic chemical forma to state rod federal officials, and Oct 17. when local emergency planning commit tees complete preparation of their emergency plans. Persons desiring more informa tion may call the chemical industry toll-free number. 1-800-CMA8200, EPA's Chemical Emergency Preparedness Program at 1-800535-0202 (not an emergency line) or (he stare's SARA hotline at t8QIMSI-I403.
