The LEPC supports emergency planning for chemical hazards and provides local government and the public with information about possible chemical hazards. We work together to achieve goals that help our community prepare for emergencies through education and coordinated planning. We also address citizen concerns. If you have a concern, please contact us.

Our members represent many parts of the community: government, private industry, and organizations. Our quarterly meetings are open to the public Some counties, like ours, work together as one LEPC. The State Emergency Response Commission determines how LEPC districts are divided.

The Potter & Randall County LEPC was established in 1987. In 1986, the U.S. Congress passed legislation called the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). This act is also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (or SARA Title III). It requires every county in the nation to form and maintain an LEPC.
