LEPC Policy for Hazardous Waste Generator Arrangements with Local Authorities
In early 2018, the membership of the Guilford County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) asked the Guilford County Emergency Management (GCEM) office to investigate the ability to use the Tier 2 reporting system, E-Plan, as an avenue for submitting the required contingency plans to emergency management, the LEPC, and local first responders. Staff at the emergency management office spent the spring and summer researching the background of the EPCRA legislation and determined that this was an applicable use for the E-Plan system for agencies that have access to that system. A draft of the “LEPC Policy for Hazardous Waste Generator Arrangements with Local Authorities” was submitted to the LEPC at the August, 2018 meeting for review. The draft was submitted again at the November, 2018 meeting for approval. A roll call of voting members and alternates present passed the motion unanimously, with the amendment that GCEM has the authority to makes changes as needed to the document.
