Community Right-to-Know Compliance

 We assist with New Jersey Community Right-to-Know reporting requirements under Sections 311 and 312 of EPCRA (also known as the community right-to-know reporting) contain provisions for hazardous chemical inventory reporting. Facilities that handle reportable hazardous chemicals at or above their RQ (reportable quantity) must provide information on the quantity, locations, and the potential hazards of these chemicals. This information is submitted to the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), (or Tribal Emergency Response Commission (TERC)), Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), (or Tribal Emergency Planning Committee (TEPC)), and the fire department 

Section 311 requires facilities to submit copies of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (formerly known as Material Safety Data Sheet, “MSDS”) of hazardous chemicals present at or above their threshold reportable quantities. 

Section 312 requires these facilities to submit the hazardous chemical inventory form to their SERC (or TERC), LEPC (or TEPC) and the fire department by March 1st, annually. The inventory form provides the physical and/or health hazard of each hazardous chemical, their locations, and quantities that were present at the facility during the previous calendar year
