Community Right-to-Know Notice

Community Right-to-Know Notice Community Right-to-Know Notice The Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 created a network for chemical emergency planning that promotes public awareness and participation in managing chemical risks in the community. Under EPCRA, the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) was established by the Delaware State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) for New Castle County, Delaware. Public attendance and participation are encouraged. Chair: David Irwin Vice Chairs: Dave Olsen and Thomas Kovach Phone: (302)395-3633 Address: Delaware State Fire School – New Castle Division 2311 MacArthur Drive New Castle, DE 19720 Meeting Schedule: The LEPC for New Castle County (NCC) conducts six bi-monthly meetings per year. The meetings are held the second Monday of every odd month (January, March, May, July, September, November). For specific meeting information please visit https://publicmeetings.delaware.gov/#/ For more information about the LEPC for NCC please visit - https://www.nccde.org/154/Emergency-Management. The New Castle County LEPC prepares an emergency response plan based upon chemical safety data sheets (SDS) and inventory forms that are submitted by facilities under EPCRA. Follow-up emergency notices may subsequently be issued. Members of the public who wish to review the plan, safety data sheet, form, or follow-up notice should contact the LEPC. If you would like to know about facilities in your community that use or store hazardous chemicals, or have questions about related community emergency plans, contact your LEPC. In addition, visit the Delaware Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act webpage (de.gov/epcra) for more information and to access the online EPCRA Public Portal. The EPCRA online public portal (de.gov/chemicalportal) has been developed to enhance public awareness and knowledge of chemicals in Delaware communities. This portal provides public access to the EPCRA data such as facility names and locations, chemical names, and physical and health hazards. Delawareans have the right to know about chemicals in their communities. The more residents learn about, understand and participate in managing chemical hazards, the safer our communities will be.
