to bring back the EPCRA curriculum for LEPC members to those who are in the EPCRA  
role. Hoping to record the training to have a video option and also have the ability to do a  
refresher on site, if County would like. Hoping to do the training in modules, so it can be  
broken down to only cover topics that apply to individuals.

anything you would like to see in there.
