SARA Title III Reporting
Community right to know
As required by the International Fire Code adopted by the Town of Castle Rock, all businesses within the Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Department jurisdiction shall report their chemical hazards via the Internet at the
Douglas County Hazardous Materials Web site.
These actions ensure you are in compliance with the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act. SARA established authorities and mandatory requirements for emergency planning and preparedness, community right to know reporting and toxic chemical release reporting. In substance, the act requires facilities using or storing hazardous chemicals to submit to their local fire department, emergency planning committee and state planning commission.
