Local Emergency Planning Committee

As per NJ Executive Order #284, facilities with extremely hazardous substances over the threshold planning quantity must participate in the local emergency planning process through the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and provide necessary information which supports this committee.  

The LEPC is responsible to have two meetings a year that includes representation of all stakeholder groups and that is open to the public and media networks. An Emergency Response Plan (ERP) must be created for each applicable community or district. Facilities must follow procedures to report an incident and the ERP's must be reviewed and tested annually. The LEPC must also provide public access to review the ERP's offsite from the facility and any other requested information must be done through the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) process.
