More than 100 of these facilities would each put at least one million people at risk of injury or death in the event of a chemical accident or terrorist attack. When Congress passed the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, it required the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish regulations and guidance for chemical accident prevention at facilities using extremely hazardous substances. EPA established the Risk Management Program, requiring companies of all sizes that use certain flammable and toxic substances to develop a Risk Management Plan (RMP), including a hazard assessment that details the potential effects of an accidental release. We reviewed the RMPs submitted by facilities using hazardous chemicals and found that a single company owning many facilities or a single facility in a large population center can endanger thousands and even millions of people. http://www.environmentcolorado.org/reports/other-issues/more-issues/the-dangerous-dozen-a-look-at-how-12-chemical-companies-jeopardize-millions-of-americans Thu, 29 Nov 2007 09:07:36 -0600 Environment Colorado Congressional Scorecard 2008 http://www.environmentcolorado.org/reports/other-issues/more-issues/environment-colorado-congressional-scorecard-2008 http://www.environmentcolorado.org/reports/other-issues/more-issues/environment-colorado-congressional-scorecard-2008 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:31:42 -0500 On April 15, American Taxpayers, Not Polluters, Will Pay To Clean Up Toxic Wastes Sites http://www.environmentcolorado.org/reports/other-issues/more-issues/on-april-15-american-taxpayers-not-polluters-will-pay-to-clean-up-toxic-wastes-sites To http://www.environmentcolorado.org/reports/other-issues/more-issues/on-april-15-american-taxpayers-not-polluters-will-pay-to-clean-up-toxic-wastes-sites Wed, 30 May 2007 10:52:22 -0500
