Risk Management
National Summary
In 1986, Congress began its overall hazardous release program by passing the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) as part of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. EPCRA requires facilities to report on the extremely hazardous chemicals used at the facility and notify state or local planning agencies if a release occurs. This provides the community and local emergency response agencies with information needed for the proper planning of an emergency release at that facility.
