(A) Any operator of a facility falling under the requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (SARA Title III) must report to the director immediately any incident dealing with the chemicals under that act. The director shall coordinate with the agencies involved in a hazardous materials incident to insure the proper mitigation of the incident.
(B) Any person in control of any chemical, substance, explosive or device requiring a material safety data sheet or any material which requires a license or permit must report the location of any quantity of such to the office of emergency management. The office of emergency management officials or the county fire marshal shall be empowered to inspect all reporting locations. The county LEPC may further enact regulations for the safe handling, storing or shipping of these substances.
(C) The LEPC may recommend to the County Council an annual reporting fee. The fee would be imposed per site or reporting entity. All collected fees will be used for administration, mitigation, planning, response or recovery associated with hazardous materials. These funds shall be maintained by the county treasurer in an account separate from the county general fund.
