How New York takes it

New York takes it through E-Plan, and E-Plan imports the file we build.

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. Filing with New York closes the state’s side only. Whether your local committee and fire department also get it is up to your county — ask them, and post each a copy if they do not take the electronic filing.

Before you send it — what else New York asks for

New York charges a $25 filing fee per facility. If your site is inside New York City limits, there is a city filing as well as the state one. The city’s Department of Environmental Protection takes the local copy, with its own list, its own fee and a copy for the fire department.

Does New York set its own limits?

New York itself follows the federal thresholds. A city or county inside it may be stricter, and that is decided locally.

Outside the five boroughs the federal thresholds are what applies. Inside them the city’s own list governs, and where the city has not set a quantity for a substance the trigger falls to ten pounds — far below the federal 10,000. Two things catch people out there: you file with the city as well, by 1 March, and you must file an update within thirty days whenever a reported amount goes up by a quarter or more.

The words we read

New York State itself uses the federal Tier II thresholds. The strict rule is New York City’s Community Right-to-Know Law (NYC Administrative Code title 24, ch. 7), read 2026-09-07. § 24-703: “If the commissioner fails to set a specific threshold reporting quantity by March first, nineteen hundred ninety-one, then each of the hazardous substances without a specific threshold reporting quantity shall be reported to the commissioner if ten or more pounds are present at a facility.” § 24-706: a responsible party must file a facility inventory update “if an already reported quantity of a hazardous substance increases by twenty-five percent or more, within thirty days of the occurrence of such event.” NYC DEP’s own Tier II Filing System brochure (nyc.gov/dep/tier2filing, read 2026-09-07): filing is “DUE YEARLY BY MARCH 1ST,” you must register online to get a facility ID, and a hard-copy compliance package costs a $20.00 fee.
