Tier 2 & Form R Reporting

Tier Two Hazardous Chemical Inventory Reports

Under SARA Title III, Community Right-to-Know Act, an important annual reporting deadline is approaching. By March 1, owners or operators of facilities that have hazardous chemicals on hand in quantities equal to or greater than set threshold levels must submit either Tier One or Tier Two report forms. The forms are submitted to the local fire department, and to the County and State Emergency Planning Agencies.

These forms have taken on increased importance in recent years as many local fire departments are updating their records to document the amount of extremely hazardous substances stored. In addition, county emergency response agencies, through coordinated efforts with local fire departments are upgrading sophisticated emergency response plans to handle chemical spills and releases in their areas.

Common chemicals such as battery acid, ammonia, and fuel oil are frequently overlooked by facilities, but are subject to reporting. Many companies have been fined by the U.S. EPA for failing to report.

Our professional staff is available to assess your Tier 2 situation and to prepare the necessary reports. We have considerable experience in preparing these reports for industry.


Form R - Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Report

July 1 is the deadline for submittal of the Form R - Toxic Chemical Release Inventory (TRI) Report. Form R is a comprehensive annual report that documents the use and release of toxic chemicals that are commonly used in industry. This requirement is identified under Section 313 of the Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).

Of all the annual EPA reports required of industry, the TRI reporting deadline is possibly the most aggressively enforced. The Chicago office of the U.S. EPA is involved in widespread enforcement of this regulation.

Admiral can conduct a thorough evaluation of your operations to identify toxic chemical usage, and determine if a TRI report is required. And our professional staff is available to prepare all of these forms. At Admiral, we have 40 years of experience meeting the needs of industry.
