Tier II Reporting System Now Online
What is the Henrico Online Tier II Reporting System? Beginning with the 2009 Reporting Year, the County of Henrico will enable its businesses to submit information online to fulfill a portion of the SARA Title III, Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know (Tier II) reporting requirements using the Online Tier II Reporting System. A few of the main benefits for online reporting are: chemical inventory information can be reviewed and revised throughout the year as inventories vary; submitters can log in, access existing records, and make edits to the existing information anytime; the process eliminates the need to submit redundant information each reporting year; and supplemental files, like a site plan, can be attached and submitted online, as part of the report.
The Tier II reporting process consists of the following processes: (1st year that business submits information online)
- Business contact applies for user account
- Once, user account is approved, user enters facility details; including chemical and storage information; repeat for each chemical as needed; then upload attachments
- Certification of Tier II form
For additional information, see the Tier II User Guide (PDF, 2MB).
Questions? Please email: henricotier2@co.henrico.va.us or call at (804) 501-4900.
