Safety & Loss Prevention
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
Note: In October 2008, Wisconsin Emergency Management gave notice of intent to develop a request for a fee increase for facilities that store hazardous materials and extremely hazardous substances. No information on the specifics of the fee increase are available at this time.
The Office of Safety and Loss Prevention has created a 
guide to EPCRA which is intended to provide University of Wisconsin System campuses with information on how the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) affects campuses in Wisconsin. It covers the following topics:
- Emergency Planning Notification for Extremely Hazardous Substances
- Emergency Notification of Release and Wisconsin Spill Reporting Requirements
- MSDS Chemical List Submission
- Tier Two Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory Reports
- Toxic Chemical Inventory Release (TRI) Reporting
