A current LEPC Signatory Authority Form and Membership Roster must be completed and returned with the Application. These documents can be found on the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHS&EM) Grants website.

The following table reflects the baseline funding level for all current LEPCs, and may change from year to year depending on the availability of funds and decisions by the SERC Finance Committee. The baseline funding level for each LEPC was determined by the following:

  • Number of Tier II reporting facilities
  • Number of extremely hazardous substances (EHS) in the Local Emergency Planning District (LEPD)
  • Hazmat transportation issues
  • Population at risk from an EHS release within the LEPD (excluding work-site population)
