Emergency Planning was created as Chapter 3750 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) in December 1988. The federal regulations under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) are listed in 40 CFR, Part 355. Ohio's implementing regulations can be found in Chapter 3750 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). The SERC provides LEPCs with current copies/revisions of the ORC & OAC. Additional copies of these documents are available from Ohio EPA at minimal costs. EPCRA outlines the composition, jurisdiction, and responsibilities of the SERC and LEPCs and defines four basic types of reporting. These are:
- EHS Notification and Emergency Planning
- Emergency Spill/Release Notification
- Chemical List and Annual Reporting
- Toxic Chemical Release Reporting
Below are the tentative dates for 2025 LEPC meetings:
