Submit Tier II Reports

Tier II Requirements

Certain facilities located in Chesapeake which are subject to The Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) are required to submit an emergency and hazardous chemical inventory form to the Chesapeake Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), the Virginia Emergency Response Council (VERC) and the Chesapeake Fire Department by March 1 every year.

Methods to Submit Tier II Reports

There are two means by which a Tier II report can be generated:

• Tier II Report, a free Government software
  Here is a primer on how to fill out the Tier II submission using EPA's Tier2 Submit free software.
  • Download Presentation: Tier2 Submit Tutorial (PPSX) 
  • Print PDF: Tier2 Submit Tutorial (PDF)
• E-Plan, a fee base software from the University of Texas, Dallas
  • Submissions methods:
    • The generated Tier II report, either an export file form,.ts2 from Tier 2 Submit or a PDF file, should be emailed to Tier 2 Reports. The E-Plan report is automatically retrieved.
    • Paper Tier II submittals mailed to the Office of Emergency Management are still acceptable, but not preferred. Mailing address is:
