Accessibility of SARA Title III Hazardous Substance Information

 Section 324 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, also known as SARA Title III (Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, PL99-499) requires public notice at least once annually informing the public of the means to access information about extremely hazardous substances that are manufactured, stored, and used within their community.  Follow-up emergency notices may subsequently be issued. 
 Accordingly, information concerning LEPC meetings, SARA Title III hazardous materials planning which is included in our Neosho County Emergency Operations Response Plan, materials safety data sheets (MSDS), hazardous chemical inventory forms, listing extremely hazardous substances manufactured, stored, or used within Neosho County can be obtained during normal business hours by contacting Neosho County Emergency Management at 620-244-3874.
