This regional committee maintains the Hazardous Materials Plan for the towns of Boylston, Holden, Sterling and West Boylston. Input from all of the groups within the REPC membership is incorporated into hazardous materials planning.

Meetings are held at least twice per year and are publicly posted at the Town Clerk's Office in each of the towns. The public is welcome to attend.

The South Wachusett REPC is a fully-certified Stand-Alone Regional Emergency Planning Committee by the Massachusetts State Emergency Response Committee (SERC). Re-certifcation was issued on 7/29/10. Certification is given for a five-year period.
