Reported Hazardous Materials
There are a large number of fixed-site facilities reporting hazardous chemical substances. Planning for each individual facility should be carried out by doing a Hazard Analysis. Fixed site facilities report presents levels of inventories via Tier II forms. Analysis of these forms indicates storing and/or processing hazardous materials poses an overall limited threat to the general population of Randolph County.
