    Sec. 10. Release notification. (a) If a release requiring notification under Section 304 of the Federal Act or under Section 103(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) occurs from a facility at which a hazardous chemical is produced, used or stored, the owner or operator of the facility shall immediately provide notice as described in subsection (b).
    (b) Notice required under this Section shall be given immediately after the release by the owner or operator of the facility (by such means as telephone, radio or in person) to the community emergency coordinator designated by the LEPC for any area likely to be affected by the release and to the SERC of any State likely to be affected by the release. The SERC shall submit any such notification report to the appropriate LEPC. With respect to transportation of a substance subject to the requirements of this Section, or storage incident to such transportation, the notice requirements of this Section with respect to a release shall be satisfied by calling the local fire department of the affected area, the sheriff's office of the affected county, or the 911 emergency number.
    (c) Notice required under this Section shall include each of the following (to the extent known at the time of the notice and so long as no delay in responding to the emergency results):
    (1) the chemical name or identity of any substance involved in the release;
    (2) an indication of whether the substance is on the list referred to in Section 302(a) of the Federal Act;
    (3) an estimate of the quantity of any such substance that was released into the environment;
    (4) the time and duration of the release;
    (5) the medium or media into which the release occurred;
    (6) any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the emergency and, where appropriate, advice regarding medical attention necessary for exposed individuals;
    (7) proper precautions to take as a result of the release, including evacuation (unless such information is readily available to the community emergency coordinator pursuant to the emergency plan); and
    (8) the name and telephone number of the person or persons to be contacted for further information.
    (d) As soon as practicable after a release which requires notice under this Section, the owner or operator shall provide a written followup emergency notice (or notices, as more information becomes available) setting forth and updating the information required under subsection (c), and including additional information with respect to:
    (1) actions taken to respond to and contain the release;
    (2) any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the release; and
    (3) where appropriate, advice regarding medical attention necessary for exposed individuals.
    (e) This Section does not apply to any release which results in exposure to persons solely within the site or sites on which a facility is located. This Section does apply to transportation and storage incident to such transportation.
