This Part establishes the State of Illinois policy for the immediate notification of an accident or incident and subsequent written report as required that involves the release of a reportable hazardous material or extremely hazardous substance or, in the case of a transportation incident, a hazardous material. The procedures in this Part provide for a centralized and expedient method for alerting State and local planning and response agencies about a potential or actual release, so that an appropriate emergency response system can be activated if necessary.
