EPCRA and Community Right-to-Know

The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 was authorized by Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act to help communities plan for chemical emergencies. It requires industry to report on the storage, use, and releases of certain chemicals to federal, state, tribal, territorial, and/or local governments. It also requires these reports to be used to prepare for and protect their communities from potential risks. 

For more information see the EPA's What is EPCRA? page and the Kansas Department of Health & Environment's Community Right To Know Reporting
