Most industrial, institutional and municipal facilities have an inventory of hazardous or toxic chemicals on site. Industrial facilities frequently manufacture, process or use such chemicals on a routine basis, often in large quantities. The presence of these chemicals can lead to liabilities, and often serve as a focal point for regulatory inspections. Simply stated, failing to understand your compliance obligations with respect to the chemicals your facility manufactures, processes or uses, can be a costly mistake.
Fortunately, our environmental attorneys can help you evaluate your compliance with laws and regulations relating to hazardous and toxic chemicals, including requirements arising under the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA) and state right-to-know laws. Whether your concern relates to developing a plan to ensure that chemical reporting and release notification requirements are met, or you have been served with a notice of violation and potential penalties, we are available to help. Our environmental attorneys routinely evaluate our clients' compliance with right-to-know requirements, and help to devise strategies to ensure future compliance. We are familiar with requirements such as inventory reporting, toxic chemical release (Form R) reporting, and notification requirements, and can also help respond to unanticipated environmental releases of chemicals. In the event of enforcement by a regulatory agency, we will be on your side to resolve the matter expeditiously, and have negotiated numerous consent agreements and settlements regarding compliance with right-to-know laws.
