Facilities that 211u001emeet the criteria found in 40 CFR paragraph 370.20 are required to submit reports 211u001eto the SERC, LEPC, and local fire department. There are two reporting mechanisms 211u001ein the hazardous chemical inventory program: a one-time notification of the 211u001epresence of hazardous chemicals on site in excess of threshold levels (EPCRA 211u001eparagraph 311), and an annual notification detailing the locations and hazards 211u001eassociated with the hazardous chemicals found on facility grounds (EPCRA 211u001eparagraph 312). This information is provided to local officials and can help in 211u001ethe development of a community emergency plan.
