These facilities must report each year and submit quantities, locations, and chemical composition of chemicals stored. This information is vital to the safety of police and fire personnel as well as to the community at large. There are disclosure protections for trade secret chemical names and confidential locations. The Coffee County LEPC is a committee of unpaid volunteers. The LEPC meets semi-annually in the EOC of the Coffee County Complex.
Meetings are open to the public.
The Coffee County LEPC actively supports HazMat and other personnel from around the county in attending training seminars and workshops, and conducts drills and emergency exercises which test the plan and the response of HazMat and other emergency personnel in simulated emergency situations. The LEPC maintains an office which is staffed as part Coffee County Emergency Management Agency. For the reporting of chemical spills or other matters which require immediate attention, you should call the fire, police or the sheriff's office. There are more than 100 reporting facilities which store hazardous or dangerous chemicals in the county.
