Watch it now on-demand

If your company stores, uses, and releases hazardous substances at or above state or federal threshold quantities, a robust EPCRA compliance program is essential to ensure accurate Tier II reporting and 100% environmental compliance. Such a program should be well-structured, detailed, up-to-date, and aligned with EPCRA Sections 302, 311, and 312.

Does your company’s compliance program measure up? Especially with Tier II reports due March 1st, now is a good time to assess it and find out. 

The first step? Watch the interactive EPCRA Master Class webinar. It features Madison Roe-Martin, one of Encamp’s most skilled compliance gurus and a former state Tier II Program Manager for EPCRA, and Julie Ragains, Encamp’s Director of Customer Success & Fulfillment and a 12-year veteran of the EHS industry.

Then, learn all this…

How to create a best-in-class EPCRA compliance program   

• Develop and implement standardized Tier II compliance strategies and processes (read Hexion’s success story).
• Overcome pitfalls like constant changes in regulations at the state and federal level.
• Increase data transparency across teams and facilities for more accurate reporting.
• Improve employee empowerment, productivity, and collaboration — as well as the way you share institutional knowledge (read Coca-Cola Consolidated’s success story).
• Minimize your risks of Tier II non-compliance… proactively.

“For Tier II, start at the beginning of the year to prepare for next year’s reports. Keep on top of 312 notifications and track changes to regulations to better understand them. Don’t be afraid to ask your SERC.”   – Madison

2. Chemicals are reported inconsistently across sites/facilities
3. Chemical inventory is reported incorrectly or inaccurately
4. Outdated or incorrect contact information

“When an EPCRA program is left to the site level, that’s when things most often get missed for reporting.”   – Julie
