Missouri Environmental Emergency Response Tracking System
Under the Missouri Spill Bill (260.500 - 260.550 RSMo) responsible parties/spillers are required to report releases of hazardous substances to the department's 24-Hour Environmental Emergency Response (EER) Hotline 573-634-2436 or to the National Response Center 800-424-8802.
EER Duty Officers maintaining the EER Hotline provide technical assistance regarding the chemical and necessary cleanup actions, work with the responsible party/spiller to ensure that proper cleanup is completed and impact to the public health and environment is minimized, conduct notifications to various agencies, and determine if an on-site response is needed by EER staff.
EER Duty Officers complete an EER Incident Report into the Missouri Environmental Emergency Response Tracking System (MEERTS) on each incident reported on the 24-Hour Environmental Emergency Response Hotline or via fax from the National Response Center. Once the EER Incident Report is finalized, it is made available on the Web. This Web link allows users to search the reports by county, date reported, or incident cause (leaking underground storage tank, vehicular accident, etc.).
The EER Section provides a weekly report that summarizes the reported incidents for a given week. These reports are distributed via e-mail upon finalization. If you would like to be added to the e-mail group, please e-mail your request to the EER Secretary.
