INITIAL & ANNUAL CHEMICAL REPORTING

Posted on February 20, 2010 by BradKorth

WHAT ARE MY REQUIREMENTS AND WHEN?

Question: Why is Initial and Annual Reporting of Chemicals Required?

Answer: Reporting includes the Local Emergency Planning Commission (LEPC) which is typically the local Fire Department who are the First Responders if there is an on-site incident.  Reporting is required so that the LEPC is aware of the type of dangers present at the site.

Question: As an Auto Recycler what types of Chemicals May Require Reporting?

Answer: Typical Chemicals associated with Auto Recyclers’ which Require Reporting include:

  • Oil (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 1,320 gallons)
  • Antifreeze (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 1,100 gallons)
  • Gasoline (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 1,600 gallons)
  • Diesel Fuel (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 1,400 gallons)
  • Sulfuric Acid (stored in excess of 500 lbs, approx. 100 batteries)
  • Lead (stored in excess of 10,000 lbs, approx. 500 batteries)

Note: Reporting is based on the maximum quantity of the particular chemical stored on-site at any time during the calendar year.  Hence typically a good guideline to utilize is the “Potential” on-site storage capacity for that particular chemical.

 Question & Answer: When is Chemical Reporting Required?

  •  Initial Reporting: Whenever Maximum Quantity of a Particular Chemical is Stored on-site
  • Annual Reporting: By March 1st of the particular Calendar Year

Question: What are the Potential Penalties for Not performing Labeling & Reporting?

Answer: There is the potential of monetary fines from Regulatory Agencies if discovered during an Inspection.  However the most significant concern is Civil and/or Criminal Liability associated with an on-site Incident!
