Staff recommends City Council adoption of the Yellowstone County HazMat Plan by resolution, which will be at an upcoming business meeting agenda.

This Yellowstone County Hazardous Materials Response Plan provides basic guidelines and establishes policies and procedures in the event of a hazardous materials incident within Yellowstone County. This plan is designed to prepare Yellowstone County for an incident response and to minimize the exposure to and damage from materials that could adversely impact the environment or human health and safety. The plan provides guidance for hazardous materials incident planning, notification, and response in accordance with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA), also known as the Federal Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA Title III) of 1986.
 
The Yellowstone County Hazardous Materials Response Plan as revised is now compliant and meets the regulations set by EPCRA, Section 303, requiring the establishment of a comprehensive emergency response plan.
 

City Council may approve or disapprove adoption of the Yellowstone County Hazardous Materials Response Plan by resolution.
