Does the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) regulate air emissions?
EPCRA does not regulate air emissions, nor does it require solvent users to make any changes in their operations. Instead, it requires facilities to report annually their “releases” of certain listed chemicals to air, water, or land. These reports must be filed each year and are publicly available through the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). Under Section 313 of EPCRA, 667 chemicals and chemical categories are listed as “toxic chemicals” for which emissions information must be reported annually.
