Proposed amendments to risk management program rules

Ohio EPA has provided notice of proposed amendments to its Accidental Release Prevention Program/Risk Management Program rules, which are found in Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3745-104. Many of Ohio EPA’s proposed changes are in response to US EPA changes. The proposed rules impact requirements for areas such as agency coordination, recordkeeping and notifications to the public. Ohio EPA will hold a virtual public hearing on the proposed rules on Tuesday, May 18, 2021, at 2:30 p.m., and will accept comments through the close of business on that same day. More information about the proposed rule amendments can be found here, and on Ohio EPA’s website.
