Preparing for a Risk Management Plan
David Cotter, Senior Environmental Engineer, Capaccio Environmental Engineering, Inc.
If you are the owner or operator of a Risk
Management Program covered facility under Section
112(r) of the Clean Air Act (40 CFR Part 68), then you
should be prepared for a potential audit of your Risk
Management Plan (RMP) by your local implementing
agency. The implementing agency for most states is the
Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). To date
approximately 15 areas (states, territories, and counties)
have been granted delegated authority as implementing
agencies. A complete list of delegated agencies can
be found on the Chemical Emergency Preparedness and
Prevention Office (CEPPO) web site at the following
