The Cuyahoga County SARA Plan Decision Trees

The Cuyahoga County SARA Plan provides four decision trees to aid managers in making proper notifications in the event of a release of a hazardous material. The burden of notification may fall upon different individuals, depending upon the type of incident or the person discovering the release.

These decision trees, located in the SARA plan on pages B-8, B-11, B-14 and B-17, found online at the LEPC web site (Opens in new window), demonstrate how reporting requirements can be met for four different scenarios:

  1. Release discovered by a transporter such as a truck driver
  2. Release discovered by a third party
  3. Release discovered by a facility employee or manager
  4. Release discovered by someone on a vessel such as a ship or barge
