This training provided an overview of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), which is also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorizations Act (SARA Title III). The presentation focused on how EPCRA may be useful for remediation programs and offered an introduction to how Tribal communities can organize to work within the emergency planning and response framework to enhance chemical safety.
The training included an overview provided by the EPA’s Jennifer Barre. Insights on the challenges and successes of Tribal implementation of EPCRA were offered by Ruby Dawn Manning of the Shosone-Paiute Tribe. The target audience for this training is the Tribal Superfund community, but it is open to everyone.
