Tier II Reporting

How Tier II Reporting Works in Michigan

Michigan's Tier II reporting runs through the Tier II Manager online system, and the agency behind it might surprise you: it's administered by the Michigan State Police, not the state's environmental department.

Last reviewed: July 2026

Michigan's SARA Title III program sits inside the state police's Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division, which administers the Tier II Manager online submission system. That's a different home for this program than most states, where it's usually the environmental agency.

Who has to file, and when

Standard federal thresholds -- 10,000 pounds for hazardous chemicals, 500 pounds or the TPQ for extremely hazardous substances.40 CFR 370.10 Deadline is March 1st for the previous calendar year.

Filing, and what goes to LEPC and fire department separately

Reports are submitted online through Tier II Manager. As in most states, that submission satisfies your obligation to the state -- but your county LEPC and local fire department still need their own copies, typically as a PDF generated from the system, and it's worth confirming each one's preferred format directly rather than assuming they've pulled your data from the state system themselves.

If your facility has previously filed under Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality-era program name, note that administration has since moved to the state police -- old contact information or saved instructions referencing the environmental department may be pointing at the wrong office.

Where HazRecord fits

HazRecord keeps your chemical inventory and facility details current throughout the year, so your Tier II Manager entry and your LEPC/fire department packets are generated from the same up-to-date source rather than reconstructed separately each time.

Keep your chemical records organized

HazRecord helps facilities organize chemical inventory, SDS records, storage locations, and Tier II reporting preparation in one place.
