Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC)

Carbon County’s LEPC provides coordinated, all-hazards planning to assure public health and safety.  The Committee has a diverse membership consisting of emergency management, law enforcement, EMS, school officials, hospital staff, fire, pipeline and mining industries, and elected officials.

The Committee accepts Tier II forms as per Section 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA).  The purpose of this form is to provide State, local officials, and the public with specific information on potential hazards.  This includes the locations, as well as the amount, of hazardous chemicals present at your facility during the previous calendar year.  The Committee prefers Tier II submissions be done through E-Plan although PDF forms can be emailed to lepc@co.carbon.mt.us.

LEPC meets the first Wednesday of every month (excluding January).  We meet in four different communities around the County and stagger the times between day and evening to accommodate both professional and volunteer participants.  The public is always welcome at our meetings.
