Special Instructions: Tier II reports and fees are due annually by March 1. Kentucky facilities must submit their EPCRA section 312 reports, corrections, updates, and payments using the Hazconnect® online reporting system: https://kentucky.hazconnect.com/Account/Login.aspx.

The Kentucky Emergency Response Commission (KERC) is responsible for the collection and maintenance of Kentucky’s EPCRA notifications and reporting of sections 302, 311, and 312 (Tier II). The purpose of the online reporting portal is to provide state and local officials with specific information on hazardous chemicals present at Kentucky facilities for use in emergency preparedness, planning, and emergency response.

Reports submitted after the due date of March 1, will be fined a one-time late fee of $250 per facility IAW KRS 39E.990 (2).

Facilities no longer need to submit to the KERC, Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), and Fire Departments. Instead, a single submittal through Hazconnect® satisfies all three submissions.

Submission of the Tier II report form by facilities that meet the reporting requirements established under Section 312 of SARA Title III is required. Specifically, facilities are required to report their possession of Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS) stored at 500 pounds or the Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ), whichever is less. In addition, facilities must report any hazardous chemical for which a Safety Data Sheet is required under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, and which is stored in the amount of 10,000 pounds or more. For more information on the list of EHS and their TPQ, or to obtain more information on the reporting requirements, please review the information available on the Kentucky Emergency Response Commission website at https://kyem.ky.gov/programs/Pages/KERC.aspx.
