Local Emergency Planning Committee
What is the Greenville County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC)
![]() The Greenville County LEPC was formed in 1988, and reorganized in 1999. The LEPC strives to develop emergency plans to educate, communicate, and protect the local community in case of a hazardous materials emergency. The LEPC also collects inventories of regulated chemicals each year. The Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 called for the creation of Local Emergency Planning Committees. The role of the LEPC is to form partnerships with local industries and governments as a resource for enhancing hazardous materials preparedness. Members of the LEPC come from the local business and citizen community and are familiar with environmental and public safety issues. LEPCs also play a role in community education concerning citizen response to hazardous materials incidents, health and environmental planning, and environmental risks.
