Release Reporting

Whether you are facing an accidental chemical release, a facility emergency, or preparing an emergency response contingency plan, we bring substantial experience in release reporting, chemical notifications, annual submissions, agency inspections, and related issues under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), and state release reporting and notification statutes.

We represent chemical manufacturers, utilities, oil and gas companies, telecommunication providers, agricultural manufacturers and processors, and food processing companies on a wide range of release reporting issues, including agency enforcement for failure to notify, delays in notification, and failure to follow up on notifications under CERCLA, EPCRA, and state requirements. If settlement falls short, we defend clients in “show cause” hearings involving alleged release reporting violations. We also provide detailed training, mock inspections, and plant simulations to prepare for agency inspections, search warrants, and third-party inquiries on release reporting.
