Tier II Reporting

Businesses operating within the boundaries of the City of West Jordan that have reportable quantities of hazardous materials, as specified by the Environmental Protection Agency reporting lists, will report those quantities to the West Jordan LEPC annually on a Tier II report.

Electronic submittal of Tier II reports is accomplished with the software provided by the Environmental Protection Agency. Send the transmittal to reeds@wjordan.com.
