This reporting is required annually, from January 1 to March 1, and can be done online by clicking on the link below and selecting “Enter Tier II Form Submission System.”
Businesses that are required to report this information should have received a postcard from NDEQ that included the necessary information to complete the online reporting. Businesses that cannot find or did not receive this information can contact Mark Lohnes, the NDEQ Tier II Coordinator, at (402) 471-4251.The public and local responders can access information about the chemicals stored at facilities within Nebraska towns by going to the link above and selecting “Search for Tier II Reporting Facilities”.
