Operations Planning Training Equipment Grant: Local Emergency Planning Committees (NV)

The Operations Planning Training Equipment Grant supports Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) in Nevada. Funded by fees from hazardous materials facilities, this grant enables LEPCs to enhance their emergency preparedness training and equipment. Eligible committees must comply with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act and SERC policies. The funding period runs from July to June, with reimbursement options available, and advance funding for expenses exceeding $2,000.

The SERC has developed this application kit as a template for Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) to apply for the SERC Operations, Planning, Training, and Equipment (OPTE) Grant. The source of funding is derived from fees collected from SARA Title III facilities within the State that store and/or produce hazardous materials in specified amounts.
The grant project period is July through June.  Grant funds will be distributed on a reimbursement basis; however, the LEPC may request advance funding for expenses over $2,000.
LEPCs are eligible for funding through this grant if they are in compliance with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Nevada Administrative Code (NAC), and SERC policies.
