North Carolina's Department of Public Safety runs Tier II filing through E-Plan, and the fee schedule is priced per substance rather than a flat number -- which makes it worth understanding before you start entering chemicals.
NC DPS administers Tier II reporting through E-Plan. If you've previously filed a Section 302 report, it should already carry into your Section 312 Tier II tab in E-Plan the following season, so check there before assuming you need to start from a blank facility setup.
Standard federal thresholds -- 10,000 pounds for hazardous chemicals, 500 pounds or the TPQ for extremely hazardous substances.40 CFR 370.10 Reporting season runs January 1 through March 1 for the previous calendar year.
North Carolina charges $50 for every hazardous substance above the reporting threshold and $90 for every extremely hazardous substance above threshold, capped at $5,000 per facility. E-Plan calculates this automatically from the CAS numbers you enter, so it's worth reviewing the total before finalizing rather than after.
One more genuinely useful detail: if you file a Section 311 notification for a new substance mid-year, it rolls into your next Tier II report automatically rather than requiring a separate fee at that point -- North Carolina designed it this way specifically to avoid double-charging facilities for the same chemical.
HazRecord tracks which chemicals are above versus below your reporting thresholds continuously, which matters in North Carolina specifically since the fee is calculated per substance rather than as a flat number -- you'll know your likely total before E-Plan calculates it for you.
