RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN
Section 112(r) of the CAA established the Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions. The regulations in 40 CFR Part 68 require facilities that manufacture, process, store, or handle regulated substances in amounts greater than threshold quantities are required to have a Risk Management Plan and Program. KSC must revise the Risk Management Plan (RMP) prior to the activation of any new or increased operations that manufactures, processes, stores, or handles any regulated substance greater than the threshold quantity.

RMP Internal Audit Program
KSC must perform an internal audit at least every 3 years to verify that the procedures and practices developed comply with the RMP regulations. As part of the internal audit program, KSC has implemented the use of several checklists to verify operations and compliance with the RMP regulations. Click on the link below to download the checklist: Florida Rules and Regulations
The delegated authority for both federal and state air emissions and permitting regulations is the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The delegated authority for the Risk Management Planning program is the Florida State Emergency Response Commission (SERC)/Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
