Who must you report to if you need to comply with community right-to-know requirements?

• A. The EPA
• B. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
• C. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection
• D. The Wisconsin Emergency Management agency and your local Emergency Planning Committee

Answer: (D)

Community right-to-know requirements focus on informing the public and coordinating local emergency planning around hazardous chemicals. In Wisconsin, meeting these requirements means reporting to the Wisconsin Emergency Management agency and your local Emergency Planning Committee. The state emergency management office oversees statewide readiness, while the LEPC brings together responders and local agencies to develop and share information about chemical hazards and to plan for potential releases. The EPA handles federal oversight, but the actual reporting pathway for local right-to-know information is through the state emergency management agency and the LEPC, not directly to EPA. Other agencies like the DNR or DATCP are responsible for different regulatory areas and don’t carry this specific reporting role.
