Adams County Local Emergency Planning Committee was created by the Colorado Emergency Planning Commission pursuant to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act ("EPCRA"), 42 U.S.C. section 11001 et seq.
Its mission is to enhance and create plans directing the response to hazardous materials incidents, increase compliance with hazardous materials reporting requirements and to continue to offer access to information on the storage of such materials, for the benefit of the county's residents, businesses and industries. The LEPC shall carry out compliance with SARA Title III and other federal, state and local requirements in such a way that meets both the letter and spirit of those requirements and that enhances and encourages a partnership between county residents, businesses and industry though an exchange of information and mutual planning.
Facilities covered by Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) requirements must submit an Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form to the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC), and the local fire department annually. Colorado accepts the Tier II form.
