	LEPC Introduction The passage of the SARA Title III: Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act of 1986 mandates that facilities which produce, utilize and/or store certain hazardous materials must report these chemicals to State environmental authorities. This Act has also intensified local governmental authorities' and the community's concern and interest about these facilities. It encourages these facilities to initiate community awareness about the chemicals they use and to work with local governments, emergency response organizations, and neighborhood groups in developing emergency plans in the event of a hazardous materials incidents at these facilities.

The LEPC would like to extend a big THANK YOU to everyone for all of the your help in planning and working the 2009 Recycle Rama event. This was the best Recycle Rama ever for many reasons. We took in more, did it faster than ever before and did it safely. ..more w/ pictures
