Citizens can and should know if facilities near them are complying with EPCRA or Community Right-To-
Know laws. Citizens should know if the appropriate chemical emergency plans have been developed for
their neighborhoods. When designing EPCRA, Congress noted that the government itself could not
tackle the enormous job of enforcement and compliance, and EPCRA was designed to enlist the help of
the public. EPCRA gives citizens enforcement powers, the right to sue facilities that do not comply with
the reporting law, and the right to obtain information. It is in the public's best interests that EPCRA be
implemented in all localities.
