Program Overview
Started in 1988, the Hazardous Chemicals Preparedness and Response Program requires yearly reporting to inventory hazardous and toxic chemicals stored across North Dakota.
Typical facilities reporting are:
- Bulk fuel plants
- Anhydrous ammonia plants
- Propane plants
- Agricultural processing plants
- Energy producing sites
- Oil producing sites
Storage fees collected are divided equally between NDDES to cover program expenses and the Local Emergency Planning Commissions (LEPCs) located in each county. The LEPCs may use the money to fund training, exercising, equipment, response, and salaries related to Hazardous Materials response.
