Facilities that store, sell, and/or handle hazardous materials are required to submit an annual report to the State of North Dakota; these reports are submitted ONLY online now. These annual reports are known as TIER II reports and they are due by March 1st of each year.
North Dakota uses a whole-of-government approach for developing long-term strategies for managing energy development in an environmentally responsible manner. The state's Unified Spill/Tier II reporting system is a tool for and effective state response and a mitigation strategy for unanticipated spill events.
This effort also provides transparency with stakeholders, including fellow North Dakotans, producers, transporters, developers and media members.
In accordance with state and federal law, the intentional or unintentional release of hazardous materials must be reported to the state within 24 hours of the incident. This can be accomplished by using this reporting system to meet the requirement of notifying all state agencies, both online and by calling 1-833-99SPILL (1-833-997-7455). This number provides a one-call routing menu with options for reporting based on the nature of the spill.
