EPA Tier II Annual Reporting Requirements

Tier II reporting is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) for facilities that store hazardous chemicals above certain threshold quantities. Under these regulations, annual reporting is required for hazardous and toxic substances that are housed at your facility at any given point during the reporting year.

Facilities are required to report hazardous and Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS) that are equal to or greater than the defined Tier II reporting thresholds. Typically, the threshold is greater than or equal to 10,000 pounds of any hazardous chemical (by OSHA criteria) for the total volume that is stored at your facility within the calendar year. EHS chemicals will have individual reporting threshold requirements.

Individual states can have more stringent reporting thresholds or have specific requirements on how to report your Tier II regulated chemicals. This includes how the Tier II reports are submitted to the state and other local agencies such as fire departments and Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs).

Annual reports are due March 1st to your local state regulatory entity.
