How Georgia takes it
Georgia takes Tier II only through E-Plan, and E-Plan imports the file we build. Nothing by email or post.
The file we build is the one this state works from.
The filing is due 1 March each year and covers the calendar year before it. Georgia is finished with you once you file — no copies, no e-mails, nothing else. Your local committee and fire department are separate: Georgia says to ask them directly.
Before you send it — what else Georgia asks for
There is a $25 filing fee per facility, paid to the University of Texas at Dallas — who run E-Plan — during the upload, not to Georgia. Read Georgia’s wording carefully: once the upload succeeds, the STATE’s requirements are done and it wants nothing else. Your LEPC and fire department are a separate matter — Georgia says they may have rules of their own and tells you to ask them yourself.
Does Georgia set its own limits?
Georgia's own agency says it uses the federal thresholds, and we read that page rather than assuming it. We have not gone behind it to the state code, so we say that too.
Georgia adds no rule of its own on top of EPCRA, so the federal 10,000 lb / 500 lb-or-TPQ tests apply unchanged. All reporting is electronic through E-Plan.
The words we read
Searched Georgia’s own rule publisher (rules.sos.ga.gov) across Department 391 (Natural Resources / EPD), Department 266 (Georgia Emergency Management Agency) and Department 155 (Defense — Emergency Management Division): no chapter mentions EPCRA, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, or Tier II reporting. Georgia therefore administers the federal programme without adding state thresholds. US EPA’s state page records only the filing route: “Georgia now requires all reporting to be electronic utilizing E-Plan.”

Where we read this
- Georgia Environmental Protection Division, “SARA Title III / EPCRA — Tier II Annual Report Submission Information” (epd.georgia.gov filing information document), read 2026-09-06: “Georgia requires the use of E-Plan for all Tier II related reporting. The State of Georgia does not accept Tier II reports via email or postal mail.” Fee: “The University of Texas at Dallas, administrators of the E-Plan website, will charge a $25.00 facility filing fee that is paid directly to UT at Dallas during the upload process at time of submission.” On the local question: “Once the upload is successful an e-mail confirmation will be sent and the State of Georgia reporting requirements have been fulfilled. No copies, e-mails, notifications, or additional actions are required by the State of Georgia. Local LEPCs or Fire Departments may have reporting and notification requirements specific to their jurisdictions and they should be contacted individually for guidance.” That settles Georgia’s own inbox, not the other two — so we do not treat it as one-stop.E-Plan, 2025 User’s Guide (erplan.net/news/docs/EPlanTier2SubmitUsersGuide.pdf), read 2026-09-07 and 2026-09-12: “You can use the Import Tier2 function to import an existing Tier2 Submit export file (ZIP), Tier2 submission file (T2S), or CAMEO export file (ZIP) into your E-Plan account” — so the file we build goes across instead of being retyped; you still complete the fields Georgia adds and pass E-Plan’s validation before submitting. On the fee: “For Tier II filing year 2025, UT Dallas institutes an E-Plan administrative charge from the organizations that use E-Plan for their online Tier II report.” Its table gives $25 per facility for Georgia (a few states have covered the cost for their own facilities; Georgia is not one of them). The figure is set per filing year, so we recheck it every year.Checked 2026-09-12
