13 ATTACHMENT B HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCIDENT REPORTS Treasure Coast Local Emergency Planning Committee The attached tables and graphs provide information on hazardous materials incident reports received by the State Watch Office for periods of January 1, 2002 through August 30, Incident reports are reviewed on a daily basis for compliance with Section 304 and other provisions of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) program. They are also used to identify facilities that may have an obligation to report under the Risk Management Planning (RMP) program. The Potential Section 304 Investigations information in Table I is listed by Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) District. These are incidents involving the release of an Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS) or a Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) chemical at a fixed facility. In order for an incident to be covered under Section 304, the EHS or CERCLA chemical must meet or exceed its designated Reportable Quantity (RQ) and have potential for offsite exposure. Those facilities found not to be in compliance with all Section 304 reporting requirements are referred to the Division of Emergency Management s General Counsel for possible enforcement action. The incidents listed in Table II cover hazardous materials incidents for which evacuations, injuries and/or deaths were reported. The figures in Graph I show the total number of hazardous materials incidents per year (including Section 304) reported to the State Watch Office for the period of January 1, 2002 through August 30, The figures in Graph II compare incidents that occurred at fixed facilities to those involving transportation-related incidents during the past 12 months (June 1, 2016 through August 30, 2017). And note that the incidents in Graph II have been further refined to list petroleum vs. non-petroleum incidents for both fixed and transportation related incidents. 13
