Tier II Reporting

The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Section 312, requires facilities to submit their Tier II Report to the local fire department by March 1st of each year for the activities occurring in the preceding year.

How Should Facilities Report to the Arlington County Fire Department:

The ACFD strongly encourages the use of the Tier2Submit™ software in order to stay in compliance with the new reporting regulations. The Tier2Submit™ software has built-in verification steps that will ensure that the report is filed correctly. Reports created using the Tier2Submit™ software can be exported to a file with the .t2s or .zip extension.

Submission requirements:

(1) Submit the electronic .t2s (or .zip) file to tier2report@arlingtonva.us
(2) A hard copy is not required and not preferred.
(3) PDFs or other picture files of the report are acceptable and will be treated as a hard copy submission when emailed to tier2report@arlingtonva.us.

A facility’s Tier II report submittal will be deemed complete only when the Fire Department receives the electronic Tier II report.
