Question of the Month: What is a Tier II Report?

Tier II reports are reports from facilities who have at any time 10,000 pounds on site of a hazardous chemical, or 500 pounds of 365 chemicals listed as extremely hazardous. The report outlines the chemical, quantities, how stored and general location within a facility. These reports are sent to local Fire departments and local emergency planning committees (LEPC) so they can plan in case of an event at that facility. These reports are completed annually.

How We Select Meeting Topics

Every year or so, DPCAC develops a Program Plan to assure it is addressing issues of greatest interest to community members. Community members, plant members, and guests brainstorm topics they believe DPCAC should address. Using sticky dots, they choose those they most want to cover in the coming year. By using different colors for community and plant members, the CAC can schedule the topics of most community interest. The Program Plan is flexible and may be changed by group agreement.

Contact Us if there are issues you would like DPCAC to address or if you would like details and an invitation to a DPCAC meeting.
