Book excerpt: In light of recent terrorist activity within our nation's borders, the United States has become increasingly aware of the need to be prepared to respond to emergencies, including those involving hazardous chemicals. To help protect communities from incidents involving hazardous chemicals, local emergency responders need information such as the types of chemicals used or stored at facilities in their communities. Two federal laws require chemicals facilities to provide such information: the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. EPCRA, among other things, requires facilities to annually complete and submit chemical inventory forms to their state and local emergency response officials to help them prepare for and respond to chemical incidents. The Clean Air Act's risk management plan provisions, which focus on accident prevention and preparedness planning, require facilities that handle specified quantities of certain substances to develop and register risk management plans with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), at least every 5 years. The Clean Air Act also requires that these plans be submitted to state and local agencies responsible for preparing for or responding to accidental chemical releases. EPA oversees the implementation of both acts, but has delegated some authority for implementation of the Clean Air Act's risk management provisions to some state and local governments.

Download or read book Chemical Plant Security written by Linda-Jo Schierow and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facilities handling large amounts of potentially hazardous chemicals (i.e., chemical facilities) might be of interest to terrorists, either as targets for direct attacks meant to release chemicals into the community or as a source of chemicals for use elsewhere. Because few terrorist attacks have been attempted against chemical facilities in the United States, the risk of death and injury in the near future is estimated to be low, relative to the likelihood of accidents at such facilities or attacks on other targets using conventional weapons. For any individual facility, the risk is very small, but risks may be increasing with potentially severe consequences for human health and the environment. Available evidence indicates that many chemical facilities may lack adequate safeguards.
