Kawaoka, D.Env., Program Manager Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response Office LORETTA J. FUDDY, A.C.S.W., M.P.H. DIRECTOR OF HEALTH SUBJECT: Hawaii Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act (HEPCRA), Section 128E-6, Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR), Chapter 11-453-25, Filing for the 2012 Reporting Year In reply, please refer to: File: 13-006 SL The 1993 Hawaii Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act (HEPCRA) requires an annual submission of chemical inventories by covered facilities. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have developed a software package, Tier2Submit, which facilities may use to submit their HEPCRA inventories. This program is free and available at: http://www.epa.2ov/emergencies/content/epera/tier2.htm . The Department of Health (DOH), Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response (HEER), Office encourages facilities operators to use the Tier2Submit and provide the HEER Office with an electronic version of their data. Information for the HEER Office is available at our website: http://hawaii.gov/health/environmentalthazard/index.html. Please include an e-mail address with your contact information. In the future, BEER Office would like to send these reminders by e-mail. If your facility does not have access to an e-mail account, we will continue to provide a hardcopy. The provision of information on the Longitude and Latitude, in decimal degrees, of your facility is very important for emergency response personnel, in the event of any incident. There are numerous websites available on the internet to help you find the correct Longitude and Latitude for your facility. We request that you notify us by fax, mail, or e-mail if your facility is no longer operating or is no longer a reportable facility. If you have questions regarding HEPCRA, please contact Curtis Martin or Sharon Leonida with the DOH Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response (BEER) Office at (808) 586-4249, fax (808) 586-7537.
