HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RESPONSE
  

LFD is the lead agency in the public-private partnership providing Level A hazardous materials emergency response to the five-county area of Clearwater, Idaho, Latah, Lewis and Nez Perce.

The State funded the North Central Emergency Response Team (ERT) with $97,000 in 1994 for three vehicles and equipment, and pays for some of the training. The State is the lead agency in cost recovery for ERT response.  Lewiston also has intergovernmental agreements to provide ERT service to Washington State University and City of Pullman.
