Local Emergency Planning Committee 1998 Annual Report

The Sarpy County Emergency Planning Committee (SCEPC) was created in compliance with the guidelines established by Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), 40 CFR 355 (Pub. L. 99-499). In accordance with Article VII, Section 1 of the Sarpy County Emergency Planning Committee Bylaws, this activity report is distributed to the Chairman of the Sarpy County Board of Commissioners, the State Emergency Response Commission, and to the mayors of the cities of Bellevue, Gretna, LaVista, Papillion and Springfield.

This report covers the period 1 January to 31 December 1998. During this period, 83 facilities filed SARA Title III Tier Two reports with SCEPC. These reports were filed in the Emergency Management Office for public inspection. During this period, six public and numerous responder information requests were handled. Four non-reporting facilities were identified during this period, notified of the reporting requirements, and reported for the first time. This includes three new government entities, due to new SCEPC reporting requirements. The net number of reports declined because OPPD no longer reports substations.
