NOTICE OF AVAILABLE PUBLIC INFORMATION ***
The public is advised that information concerning chemical inventories of
certain facilities within Coshocton County, as well as information concerning
Coshocton County’s chemical response planning efforts is available for review.
The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, known as SARA and/or
the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act or EPCRA provides a
framework for chemical response planning in each local planning district, in
this instance Coshocton County.
The Coshocton County Local Emergency Planning
Committee, (L.E.P.C.) working with the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC or
Commission) and local fire departments, implements these requirements within
Coshocton County.
Chemical inventory information for facilities that meet or exceed
the reporting threshold requirements of 10,000 pounds for hazardous chemicals
or approximately 500 pounds for certain defined extremely hazardous substances
is available. (The threshold for extremely hazardous substances is as low as
one (1) pound in certain instances.) This information may be viewed during
normal business hours of 8:00 am. to 4:00 p.m. It is suggested that you confirm
staff availability beforehand. Such requests must be facility specific, using
forms approved by the Commission.
These forms can be obtained from the Coshocton County L.E.P.C. by calling
740-622-1984, FAX:
740-623-6510 or writing to the E.M.A. Office, 724 South 7th Street - Lower Level, Coshocton,
