EPCRA Tier Two Reporting

Tier Two reporting applies to all University of Wisconsin System campuses that have present, at any time, either of the following:

  • A hazardous chemical in quantities of 10,000 lbs. or more.
  • An Extremely Hazardous Chemical (EHS) in quantities at or above 500 lbs. or the TPQ for that chemical, whichever is lower.

The Office of Safety and Loss Prevention has created a pdf Documentguide 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. For more information on Tier Two reports, refer to the " Tier Two Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory Reports" section in the guide. Included in this section, you will find a list of chemicals that have been reported on other campuses.
