This training is open to everyone and will provide the foundational knowledge and resources needed for Tribes to develop their chemical emergency planning frameworks. This will include how to develop a Tribal Emergency Response Commission (TERC) or a Tribal Emergency Planning Committee (TEPC), and also to discuss the interactions between Tribes, States, regulated facilities, and locals. The training will include an overview provided by the US EPA’s Jennifer Barre, and insights on the challenges and successes of Tribal implementation of EPCRA will be offered by Chuck Kmet, Emergency Manager for the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community.
This will only include a brief regulatory overview of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which is also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA Title III). Please review the background information below for this fundamental knowledge.
