EPCRA 42 USC §11003(c)(3) reads:
Designation of a community emergency coordinator and facility
emergency coordinators.
The LEPC is required to appoint a Community Emergency Coordinator who is responsible for implementing the CERP. DeKalb County has appointed the DeKalb Co. Emergency Services & Disaster Agency (ESDA) coordinator, whose office has representatives on the LEPC. The Community Emergency Coordinator is the DeKalb Co. ESDA Coordinator. In the event that the position is empty, the LEPC Chair is responsible for implementing the CERP.
Every Tier II facility is required by EPCRA to designate at least two emergency contacts. In addition, the LEPC may ask each EHS/Hazardous Material facility to designate a facility emergency coordinator. This person would be responsible for coordinating planning activities between the facility and emergency responders and planners. Emergency contact information (including phone numbers) for every emergency contact and facility emergency coordinator who has been reported on Tier II Reports, is maintained in the CAMEO database.
