What is required of owners/operators of EPCRA facilities by EPCRA §11023?

The requirement for owners and operators of facilities covered under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) is to complete and submit toxic chemical release forms. This obligation, specified under EPCRA §11023, aims to ensure that the public and governmental agencies are informed about the chemicals being released into the environment. This transparency is crucial for community safety and environmental protection, as it allows for informed decision-making regarding health risks and environmental impacts.

By providing this information, facility owners and operators contribute to a broader understanding of chemical management at a local level and enable better emergency planning and risk assessment. The other choices, while they pertain to environmental management, do not align with the specific mandates of EPCRA §11023.
