Who should the Local Emergency Planning Committee provide information to regarding the Superfund Amendments?

The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) plays a vital role in fostering communication and collaboration among various stakeholders concerning hazardous materials and environmental safety. Under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), the LEPC is tasked with providing information to relevant agencies and organizations that can take action or can be affected by hazardous materials.

The county air quality office is key in this context because it is responsible for monitoring and regulating air quality, which may be impacted by hazardous substances. Providing information to this office aids in ensuring that necessary air quality standards are maintained and that appropriate measures are taken to protect public health and the environment.

The other stakeholders mentioned have important roles as well; however, they may not have the regulatory or oversight functions specifically related to air quality that the county air quality office has. Therefore, involving the county air quality office aligns directly with the intent of the Superfund Amendments in monitoring and regulating hazardous materials in the environment.
