MICHIGAN SARA TITLE III PROGRAM Michael Young DEQ SARA Title III Specialist January 2018
Good Morning!!! I am Mike Young from the Michigan SARA Title lll Program with the DEQ . I am new to the SARA Title lll Program but not new to the DEQ . Its great to be here today This morning we will start with an overview of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.
In 1980, Congress enacted the: Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
Purpose: Cleanup hazardous waste disposal sites Emergency response for hazardous
substances released into the environment
CERCLA = Superfund

HISTORY OF THE REGULATION
Presenter
Presentation Notes
First some history of the regulation. In 1980, Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), to clean up the nation’s inactive hazardous waste disposal sites. It also addressed emergency response for hazardous substances released into the environment. CERCLA is also called Superfund. Hazardous waste clean-up sites became known as Superfund sites.
WHY DO WE HAVE SARA TITLE III?
3
Tragically on December 3, 1984, in Bhopal, IndiaUnion Carbide chemical plant released Methyl isocyanate resulting in 4,000 deaths, and 40,000 maimed & seriously injured. Plants were defoliated and livestock killed.
The Bhopal tragedy sparked an overhaul of U.S. chemical reporting rules and in 1986, congress expanded and reauthorized the Superfund Act.Now Called:Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
SARA Title III = Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)
4
HISTORY OF THE REGULATION
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act is known as SARA passed in 1986. SARA includes 4 titles, one of which is Title III: Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. It established stringent new requirements that companies disclose the presence of hazardous materials, and required that plans be developed that protect the public and the environment.
CERCLA = SuperfundThe Superfund Act was Reauthorized in 1986
SARA Title lll = EPCRA
Regulations implementing SARA Title III are codified in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 350 to 372.

RIGHT-TO-KNOW?(EMERGENCY PLANNING AND COMMUNITY RIGHT TO KNOW)
There are 3 Right-to-Knows
Employee Right-to-Know
Firefighter Right-to-Know
Community Right-to-Know
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Before we go further, let’s look at what we mean by the terms “Emergency Planning” and “Right-to-Know.” First, Right-to-know. There are three Right to Knows
Employee Right-to-Know Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR
1910.1200) Safety Data Sheet (SDS) www.osha.gov
12
PROTECTION OF THE EMPLOYEE
WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO KNOW?
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The first right-to-know regulation was Employee right to know. It addresses the protection of the employee. It is described in the OSHA regulations under the hazard communication standard. Employee right to know says that employers must keep SDSs on site for any hazardous materials to which the employee might be exposed. There are some exclusions to the SDS requirement: such as cigarettes, makeup, or medications for personal use. For all other chemicals, There is no minimum threshold for this requirement. As long as the material meets the definition of a hazardous material., a SDS must be maintained at the facility and made available to the employee.
13
Firefighter Right-to-Know Michigan OSHA (MIOSHA) Fire Prevention Code (1941 PA 207) Fire Dept. Hazardous Material Emergency
Firefighter right to know is an extension of employee right to know and addresses the protection of the firefighter. It is a requirement stipulated in the MIOSHA regulations that the chief of each organized fire dept shall provide the fire fighters with a plan for executing their responsibilities with respect to each site within the jurisdiction. The Fire Prevention Code (sect 29.5p) requires owners/operators of facilities to provide to the fire department the quantities and locations of chemicals specified by the fire chief. Have any of you received a Bulletin 9 survey? Bulletin 9 contains the survey used by fire chiefs to obtain the required information. If the chemicals are above specified thresholds, the fire department is required to have a site-specific plan for the facility. The thresholds were established to protect the first responder.

PROTECTION OF THE COMMUNITY
WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO KNOW?
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Community Right-to-Know addresses the protection of the community. It is established under the SARA Title III regulations and has requirements for LEPCs to write emergency response plans to protect the community. for certain facilities to provide planning information to the LEPCs. For facilities to provide hazardous chemical information to LEPCs and fire departments. The Tier Two report is the format for facilities to provide the hazardous chemical inventory. Tier ll reporting is all the same thing whether its Tier “Two” or “Tier 2” The thresholds for reporting under the Community right-to-know regulation were developed to protect the community. They are higher than the thresholds for firefighter right to know. SARA Title III also has a planning component.

Presentation Notes
The SERC serves two main functions 1. Receive reports which are handled by The MDEQ Michigan SARA Title III Program. 2. Review Emergency Plans written by the LEPCs. This function is handled by the MSP Emergency Management & Homeland Security Division.
Designate a facility emergency (planning) coordinator (included on the Tier II report)
Provide information requested by the LEPC that it needs to fulfill its planning responsibilities
Inform the LEPC of any changes relevant to emergency planning
The facilities that are subject to sect 302 have the responsibility to help the LEPC fulfill its planning responsibilities by: Appointing a facility emergency coordinator, and Providing any information requested by the LEPC to fulfill its planning responsibilities, and Informing the LEPC of any changes that affect emergency planning. SARA Title III thus requires an on-going relationship between the LEPCs and the facilities subject to section 302 Close to 3000 facilities are subject to sect 302 in the State of Michigan.
A facility is subject to section 302 if it has an Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS) at or above the Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ) posted in either the Extremely Hazardous Substance List (Appendix A of your guidebook) or U.S. EPA’s List of Lists (Appendix B of your guidebook).
A facility is also subject to emergency planning requires under SARA Title lll and is require to share their emergency response plan with their local fire department and Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC).
The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is required to develop a community emergency response plan with the 302 facility in mind and send it to the State.
Under SARA Title III, A facility is subject to sect 302 if it has an extremely hazardous substance that is at or above the Threshold Planning Quantity. Non-reactive solid EHSs have 2 TPQs The Lower TPQ applies if EHS is in Powder form Solution or Molten form See chapter 2 in SARA guidebook for special formulas that apply to non-reactive solid EHSs.

Here is an example of the SARA Title lll Extremely Hazardous Substances list. A complete list is available in appendix A of the SARA Title lll guidebook and on the DEQ webpage. You can also view a list of the Extremely Hazardous Substances on the example List of Lists also available in appendix B of the SARA Title lll guidebook and on the DEQ webpage. You can see that there are some Extremely Hazardous Substances listed here that have two threshold planning quantities. These are Non-reactive solid EHSs.
Submit Tier II Report (Update or Annual) within 60 days to• Michigan SARA Title III Program (online)• LEPC
Under SARA Title III sect 302, If a facility has an extremely hazardous substance that is at or above the Threshold Planning Quantity, then it must submit the Emergency Planning Notification form within 60 days after the threshold was reached. EPA has revised the Tier ll Report and, the 302 information is included in it.
LEPC writes Offsite HazMat Response Plans with specific information about certain facilities.

EMERGENCY PLANNINGSECTION 303 LEPC REQUIREMENTS
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Under Section 303 of SARA Title III, LEPCs must write plans that address the off-site response to an emergency – that is the response that addresses the protection of the community. The emergency plan for the community (county or city) must include site-specific plans for certain facilities within their jurisdiction. LEPCs submit these plans to the State Police Emergency Management & Homeland Security Division, and provide copies to responders (fire departments). So how do LEPCs get information to complete the plan?
Provide notification to the LEPC that it has completed a Pollution Incident Prevention Plan (PIPP) or an Integrated Contingency Plan (ICP) containing the PIPP requirements.
Provide a copy of the PIPP or ICP to the LEPC upon request

Presentation Notes
There are other regulations that require a facility to provide information to the LEPC to help the LEPC meet it’s requirements under SARA Title III. Under Part 5 Rules, the Spillage of Oil and Polluting Materials, facilities must: 1. Provide notification to the LEPC that it has completed a Pollution Incident Prevention Plan (PIPP) or an Integrated Contingency Plan (ICP) containing the PIPP requirements and 2. Provide a copy of the Pollution Incident Prevention Plan (PIPP) or Integrated Contingency Plan (ICP) to the LEPC upon request
Subject facility must have aRisk Management Program.
If the facility will respond to the release:• Coordinate their Risk
Management Plan with LEPC Plan.• Provide information to the LEPC upon request for
developing and implementing the LEPC Plan.

EMERGENCY PLANNINGIN CLEAN AIR ACT SECT 112(R)
FACILITY REQUIREMENTS
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The CAA Sect 112(r) was written as a counterpart to the SARA emergency planning requirements. It has a requirement for a facility with an extremely hazardous air pollutant above a specified threshold quantity to develop a risk management program. The coordination with the LEPC depends on whether the facility will respond to a release itself, or if it will evacuate and let the first responders handle the release. If the facility will respond they must develop a Risk Management Plan and coordinate it with the LEPC plan.
If the facility will not respond to the release: Assure that facility with toxic chemicals is
included in the LEPC Plan. Assure that facility with flammable substances
has coordinated response actions with the local fire department.

EMERGENCY RELEASE NOTIFICATIONSECTIONS 304
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Under CERCLA (remember this was the first act that we discussed – it is also known as Superfund), EPA published a list of over 700 hazardous substances. These are called the CERCLA hazardous substances. Under SARA Title III, EPA published a list of Extremely Hazardous Substances. This list contains 355 substances. Some substances are on both lists. Every substance on these 2 lists has its own reportable quantity for RELEASES. The reportable quantity is the amount that, if released to the environment over a 24-hour period of time, triggers Section 304 release reporting requirements.
EMERGENCY RELEASE NOTIFICATION SECTIONS 304
Under Section 304 of SARA Title III, the term “facilities” includes stationary facilities, motor vehicles, rolling stock, and aircraft.Releases that must be reported are those of:• Hazardous substances defined under the CERCLA.• An EHS as defined under SARA Title III.• Each CERCLA hazardous substance and EHS has an associated
Reportable Quantity (RQ). These hazardous substances and their associated RQs are included in the List of Lists. If the RQ of a substance is released to the environment (air, water, or ground) in a 24-hour period, the release must be reported. The reported releases are most often accidental releases, but might also include continuous releases.

• Any substance present as a solid in any manufactured item to the extent exposure to the substance does not occur under normal conditions of use.
40
EXEMPTIONSSection 312 (Tier II) Exemptions
•Any substance to the extent it is used for personal, family, or household purposes, or is present in the same form and concentration as a product packaged for distribution and use by the general public.
• Any substance to the extent it is used in a research laboratory or hospital or other medical facility under the direct supervision of a technically qualified individual. Storage of non research materials must be reported if they are above thresholds i.e. diesel fuel for generators.
41
EXEMPTIONSSection 312 (Tier II) Exemptions
• Any substance to the extent it is used in routine agricultural operations or is a fertilizer held for sale by a retailer to the ultimate customer.
*Note these exemptions do not apply when storing Extremely Hazardous Substances over Threshold Planning Quantities (SARA Title lll 302 sites)
EXEMPTION EXAMPLE
EPA estimates that 200 car batteries contain 1000 lbs of sulfuric acid.
(Sulfuric Acid is an EHS with a TPQ of 1000 lbs)
If you have 200 car batteries on your shelves, your facility is not subject to section 312, but is subject to Section 302 Emergency Planning.
43
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Refer to Appendix A, TPQ for sulfuric acid. Exempt from section 312 because it is packaged for distribution and use by the general public, but still subject to section 302 for emergency planning. So submit the Tier II report which includes the 302 requirements.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
To review the hazardous chemical reporting under SARA Title III…Diagram. The circle with the brown dashed line represents the OSHA Hazardous substances. These substances are subject to Tier Two Hazardous Chemical Inventory Reporting. The line is dashed because there is no list of these substances. The EHSs are listed. They have a Threshold Planning Quantity for Emergency Planning and a reportable quantity for release reporting. They are also subject to Tier Two Hazardous Chemical Reporting. CERCLA Hazardous Substances are listed and have reportable quantities for release reporting. Part of the CERCLA group falls outside of the OSHA group. Hazardous Waste does not need an SDS, so it is not reportable on the Tier Two report. However, if there is a release of hazardous waste that is subject to Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations that is above the listed RQ, then that release must be reported. Are there any first responders out there? Do you want to know if hazardous waste is being stored on a site you are responding too? Although hazardous waste does not need to be reported, we would like you to report it anyway – the responders need to know about it.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Toxic Chemical Release Inventory is an annual report submitted to the Michigan SARA Title III Program and EPA. The toxic chemicals that section 313 addresses are on a list of about 650 toxic chemicals and chemical categories that EPA has published. This report shows the total amount of a toxic chemical that was released or managed as waste during the previous calendar year. The term “Release” includes the amount of the toxic chemical that is allowed by permit or regulation to be released from the facility, plus accidental releases (such as those due to equipment failure). Waste transfers include recycling, energy recovery, & treatment. Only “subject” facilities report.
Subject Facilities: At least 10 full time employees
Subject North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes
Amount manufactured*, processed, or otherwise used exceeds a toxic chemical activity threshold
*Manufacture includes chemicals created as an impurity or byproduct

If we add the Toxic chemicals to this diagram, it would look something like this. Notice that a single substance can be hazardous and toxic. Even though each part of SARA Title III targets a different group of chemicals or substances, these groups overlap. A facility might be subject to more than one part of the SARA Title III because of the presence of only one chemical or substance.
