Tier II reporting software for a small facility: the four ways
If you run one site, or a few, there are four ways to get a Tier II filing done by 1 March. They differ in price, and in who works out the answers — which chemicals count, how many pounds you hold, and which hazard boxes to tick.
Free. No account, no email.
The four ways, side by side
Your state’s system, or EPA’s Tier2 Submit
- Price
- EPA’s software is free, but many states charge a fee — 34 of the 52 we have read do. E-Plan states can charge $25 a site; Texas charges a fee. Check yours on its state page.EPA · EPA · TCEQ
- Who works out the answers
- You do. The form asks for each chemical, its pounds and its hazard classes.
- Who hands it in
- You do.
- Fits you if
- You already know which chemicals count, how many pounds you hold, and their hazard classes.
An environmental consultant

- Who works out the answers
- We do, from what you keep on site — and we show the rule behind each answer.
- Who hands it in
- You do. The owner or operator, or someone they officially name, has to certify it — so we cannot.
- Fits you if
- One site, or a few. You are doing it yourself and are not sure where to start.
What we do not do
We do not hand in your filing or pay state fees. The owner or operator, or someone they officially name, has to certify it40 CFR 370.42(a), so we build it and you send it. If you want someone else to send it, a consultant or an enterprise platform is the honest answer.
Will the file work in your state?
25 states take the file we build. In 27, you type the answers into the state’s own system, and our answer works as the worksheet you type from. Find your state.

Questions people ask
- Is there free Tier II software?
- Yes. EPA’s Tier2 Submit is free. Many states still charge a fee to file — 34 of the 52 we have read do — so check yours. These systems are forms: they ask for each chemical’s pounds and hazard classes and do not work those out for you.
- How much does a Tier II consultant cost?
- One firm that publishes its prices says most projects run $1,000 to $8,500, and $1,500 to $3,000 for a small, first filing at one site.
- Can software hand in my Tier II filing for me?
- Some enterprise platforms do — Encamp says it hands in filings and pays the fees. Tallymark does not: the owner or operator, or someone they officially name, has to certify the filing, so we build it and you send it.
