HAZMAT Chapter 16:Hazard Analysis—HAZMAT CHAPTER 16 - HAZMAT 16.1 History The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act or SARA became law in 1986 (PL 99- 499). A major SARA provision is Title III, or SARA Title 111, also referred to as Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). EPCRA established guidelines for Federal, State and local governments, and industry regarding emergency planning and providing communities with information on hazardous chemicals within their jurisdiction. The Hawaii Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act became law in 1993 (HRS 128E), and promulgated SARA Title ITT in the State of Hawaii. The State Department of Health Office of Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response is responsible for implementing Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapters 128D (Environmental Response Law) and 128E, Hawaii Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act. Chapter 128D, HRS, Environmental Response Law, Section 7, HRS mandates that a State List of Sites be published annually listing the sites with potential or known hazardous substances or pollutants or contaminants. The DOH Hawaii SRP List of Priority Sites shows 464 sites with potential or known hazardous substance or petroleum contamination. The Hawaii SRP List of Priority Sites is sorted in order of Island, Locality, the Program Area, and the Facility/Site Name. The site Status and Potential Hazard are also identified for each Facility/Site. Chapter 128E, HRS, Hawaii Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, governs the threshold quantities of hazardous chemical material subject to inventory, reporting, and emergency response plans required to be filed by the facility owner/operator. The Hawaii Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (HEPCRA) requires that facilities must report annually on hazardous substances stored on their premises if the amounts stored exceed specified threshold planning quantities. HEPCRA requires that an owner or operator of a facility that stores, uses, or manufactures above defined thresholds, any hazardous substance, or extremely hazardous substance, is required to file a notification of such"Tier II"activity, and to pay a filing fee. A Hawaii State Emergency Response Commission (HSERC) was formed and each of the four counties in Hawaii was designated as an emergency planning district. A Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) was established in each county. Functions of the LEPC include preparing a hazardous material emergency response plan, reviewing the plan annually, evaluating resources to mitigate an emergency, receiving emergency response notifications, and receiving and processing requests for information from the general public. 16.2 Organization of the State and Local Emergency Planning Committee The Hawaii state emergency response commission, is placed within the Department of Health for administrative purposes and to carry out the requirements of HRS 128-E.
