As a bulk gas supplier, we wish to remind our customers of the approaching March 1, 2024 deadline for SARA Title Tier II reporting.
Due to hazardous materials stored at our customers’ facilities, they may be subject to reporting requirements to file a SARA Tier II report with the State and Local Emergency Planning Commissions.
