SARA Title III/EPCRA was implemented to create a cooperative relationship among government, business, and the public, involving them in the effort to prevent, plan, prepare for, and manage chemical emergencies.
Annually by March 1, all owners and operators of manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities with one or more covered hazardous chemicals are required to fill out Tier II forms to report chemical inventory data to their local fire departments, local emergency planning committees, and state emergency response commissions. In California, a facility may be required to file the Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP).
Our trained staff helps you easily comply with the requirements. We visit your facility to conduct an assessment to verify whether you need to file a Tier II report and determine the specific federal, state, and local environmental requirements for your location(s). We then prepare and file the Tier II report quickly and accurately for you if necessary.

The state of California requires an owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit a Hazardous Material Business Plan (HMBP) if the facility handles a certain quantity of hazardous material or mixture containing a hazardous material any one time during the reporting year.
A HMBP is a document containing detailed information to provide basic information necessary for use by first responders in order to prevent or mitigate damage to the public health and safety and to the environment from a release or threatened release of a hazardous material. It also satisfies the federal and state Community Right-to-Know laws.
