Our History

The Potter & Randall County LEPC was established in 1987. In 1986, the U.S. Congress passed legislation called the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). This act is also known as Title III of the Superfund Ammendments and Reauthorization Act (or SARA Title III). It requires every county in the nation to form and maintain an LEPC.
