Tier 2 Information

Note: In an effort to reduce the paperwork costs, last year (2012) was the final year that DEQ mailed Tier 2 filing reminder letters. Current and future communications concerning Tier 2 report filing will be accomplished via e-mail.

Current Oklahoma Requirements for EPCRA Tier 2 Filing
--Tier 2 reports are submitted to DEQ only; DEQ distributes to LEPCs and Fire Departments.
--Tier 2 reports must be submitted electronically to DEQ via the Internet.
--Tier 2 reports must be prepared using the EPA Tier 2 Submit software.
--Tier 2 locations must be identified using Latitude / Longitude coordinates.
--Tier 2 program fees are based on the number of chemicals reported.

You may obtain a .T2S file of last year’s report after logging onto the DEQ Tier 2 Filing Website, or by contacting Jimmy Carter at 405-702-1015 or Tom Bergman at 405-702-1013 at DEQ offices.

2012 Tier 2 Invoicing
DEQ has created a new invoicing process for 2012. You will create, print, and pay your invoice using the DEQ online filing system.

2012 Tier 2 Filing Assistance
DEQ is offering personal assistance for completing your Tier 2 filing.  Tom Bergman can help you operate the Tier 2 Submit software, import last year’s report, determine accurate Lat/Long coordinates, and submit the file via the DEQ Internet system.  You will need to bring a listing of your facility locations, contact names with phone numbers, and reportable chemicals; along with any Site Plans or other documents you wish to submit.  For many of you, processing your Tier 2 submission in person will take less than 30 minutes.

Tier2 Site Plans

Tier 2 Submit 2012 Software incorporates "site plans" to your filing. Site plan filing is voluntary, not required, in Oklahoma. If you wish to include a site plan with your filing, it must be attached using the Tier2 Submit 2012 software
