Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)

Please be sure to use the correct Tier Two reporting form! The Washington State Emergency Response Commission requires reporting actual amounts of substances stored on site and has revised the form to include a field for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes.

Department of Homeland Security regulations for chemical facilities DO NOT impact EPCRA or Community Right-to-Know reporting responsibilities.
