Right To Know Filing - Deadline March 1, 2012

Automobile dealerships and other facilities are required to complete the annual New York City Community Right-to-Know Program (RTK) Tier II filing with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and New York City Fire Department each year by March 1st. The filing consists of a Facility Inventory Form which documents all of the hazardous substances that each dealership has on-site. Failure to complete the filing or doing so incorrectly can result in fines of up to $2500. Taking an inventory of all of the substances, calculating the volumes and percentages, compiling the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and filling out all of the paper work can be laborious and time consuming. That is time that can be better spent making money by servicing your customers.
