The primary mission of the LEPC is to be an effective community network for planning for emergency management of incidents involving spills or releases of hazardous materials. In accordance with its tasking, the Committee:

• Develops, trains, exercises, and revises as necessary a comprehensive emergency response plan for chemical emergencies within Boone County.
  

• Evaluates the need for resources to develop, implement, and exercise the plan.  As appropriate, recommends resources and the means for providing additional resources.
  

• Provides for public participation and information, including, but not limited to public inquires on the regulated materials and industry and the Boone County LEPC’s activities.
  

• Establishes and recommends procedures for receiving reports from the regulated community.
