Sixty area companies and water treatment plants in the nine-county region have toxic and flammable materials deemed so dangerous they must file Risk Management Plans with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency outlining safety measures, risk factors, and a “worst-case” scenario for a release of one container — sometimes as large as a rail car — of the chemical. Use the table and map below to explore where those facilities are, what hazardous chemicals they have and how much they have. (Note: Reports must be filed every five years by companies with threshold amounts of 140 chemicals covered by federal Risk Management Plan rules. Due to lag time safety inspections or other changes may have occurred subsequent to most recent filing.)
