EPCRA-Tier II Reporting
The Emergency Planning & Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) requires facilities storing any substance for which material safety data sheet (MSDS) is required by OSHA and in quantities exceeding the Threshold Planning Quantity (specified for Extremely Hazardous Substance or 10,000 pounds for all other substances) to the State, Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPC's) and fire departments. The SC State Emergency Response Commission requires an annual submission of a Tier II report due March 1 from qualifying facilities. There are other provisions of the law, and the law itself should be consulted for proper compliance.
York County strongly encourages the use of E-Plan to satisfy the County's Tier II reporting requirements. E-Plan is a highly secure, web-based information system that holds facility-specific hazard information from numerous sources. Facilities have to sign up for an account in E-Plan and authorize a user to have access to the system. Facilities can enter information directly into E-Plan or import the Tier II Submit files (zip files or .t2s files) into the system. E-Plan has online training on the website.
Please use the EPCRA-Tier II reporting link to the right of our page to go to the E-Plan website and submit your facility information.
Common Terms
Civil Defense - Emergency Management is the Civil Defense program, with additional functions such as Homeland Security, Natural Disaster planning, and other preparedness programs.
Emergency Management- Like Civil Defense, Emergency Management is the current terminology used to describe the comprehensive programs now used to protect the public.
Haz-Mat - Hazardous Materials
SARA Title III - Part of the laws that regulate hazardous materials.
Rescue Squad - A volunteer agency that is not a county government department but is funded in part by the county and provides emergency services as described in the Emergency Operations Plan.
EMS (Emergency Medical Service) - Usually describes ambulance services whether provided by a rescue squad or a paid ambulance provider.
EAS - (Emergency Alert System) - A voluntary service provided by radio and TV stations. (Not all radio and television stations carry emergency messages.)
Watch - Used for weather situations to describe when conditions are favorable for the development of a specific weather system named in the watch. Examples: thunderstorm, tornado, flood, winter storm, hurricane, etc.
Warning - The term associated with the named weather system (National Weather Service) when a weather system has been spotted on radar or is imminent. (Thunderstorm, tornado, flood, winter storm, hurricane etc). Appropriate protective action should be taken when a warning is issued
The Emergency Management Office's mission is accomplished through the following:
MITIGATION programs or accident/injury prevention programs designed to reduce the consequences of emergencies.
PLANNING for emergency/disaster situations, including the development of emergency plans and procedures, drills and exercises to evaluate response capabilities.
RESPONSE to emergencies/disasters to coordinate the most effective use of manpower and resources in the saving of lives and the reduction of property losses.
RECOVERY from emergencies/disasters to return the community to its pre-disaster condition including administration of assistance programs.
The Emergency Management Office is a function of County Government with responsibilities to all government entities in the county including municipal governments, the Catawba Indian Nation, and all county school districts. Although the scope and depth of programs has changed drastically since the pre-World War II days of Civil Defense, keeping our citizens safe from harm continues to be the fundamental element of Emergency Management.

It is too dangerous to be out when a tornado warning has been issued, therefore attempting to go to a shelter could put the public in greater danger than staying where they are. The safest thing to do during a tornado warning is to go to a center room on the lowest point of the structure away from windows and doors and shelter-in-place.
The nuclear plant does not have material that could “blow up”. The process used is a reaction that gives off heat, which boils water turning it to steam. The steam turns a turbine producing electricity. The radioactive material used in this process is then stored in a pool of water on site under heavy security.
Evacuation is required only in the most severe incidents. There are many situations that could occur at the plant that do not put anyone in danger. Should the public require any action, it would be broadcasted over local radio and television stations. Please follow the instructions given, know the evacuation routes for your area and the location of shelters.
All schools have plans in place for protecting the students. When there is no danger to the public offsite then no action is needed. In a situation where it is determined that there is potential for the emergency to effect the public offsite, students could be moved to pre-designated pickup points for their school and eventually moved to shelters.
The local radio stations for York County are:
AM Station
WRHI - 1340
FM Stations
WRHM - 107.9
WRHI - 94.3
During the regularly scheduled tests, the sirens are activated for one 3-minute cycle. During a real emergency, the sirens will be activated for several 3-minute cycles.
Currently, only County-owned pagers are supported by the paging system.
