The LEPC receives staff support and emergency communications assistance from the Cuyahoga County Division of Emergency Services, at 1255 Euclid Ave. #102, Cleveland, Ohio. The Division works cooperatively with the Cuyahoga County Emergency Services Advisory Board and the LEPC under the direction of the Board of Cuyahoga County Commissioners.
Since 1987 the LEPC has received over 1000 annual chemical inventories and has completed planning requirements for all facilities storing extremely hazardous substances. Facilities storing extremely hazardous substances have special emergency planning requirements and must provide the LEPC with information requested for an annual update of its emergency response plan for hazardous materials.
The LEPC has also processed annually over 500 emergency release notifications and almost 200 requests for information about chemicals stored at local facilities near neighborhoods and businesses.
Information about hazardous substances stored in Cuyahoga County can be obtained by calling (216) 443-7597 between 8:30 P.M. and 4:30 P.M. Information about emergency releases of hazardous substances can be reported by calling (216) 771-1365. The LEPC meets bi-monthly and all meetings are open to the public. Meetings are held at the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District's Environmental Maintenance Center at 4747 East 49th Street in Cuyahoga Heights.
