Each county in North Dakota has been designated as a planning district. A Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) has been appointed for each district. The LEPC in each district is required to develop and maintain a hazardous chemicals emergency response plan for the district using information from facilities required to report under the "Right-to-Know" section of EPCRA. If a facility has a response plan of its own appropriate information from it should be incorporated into the LEPC plan.
