ACRONYM Expertise
• Have you ever seen so many acronyms' in one spot????
• Acronyms that open more windows of acronyms etc., etc., etc..
How We Respond
• Pre Incident Surveys • Sara Title III 302 Facilities • Tier II Reporting • LEPC Local Emergency Planning Committee • Fire Prevention • Fire Chief • Hazardous Materials Coordinator • National Preparedness System
EPCRA is
• Emergency planning
• Emergency release notification
• Hazardous chemical storage reporting
• Toxic chemical release inventory
Emergency Planning
• Community Emergency Response Plans • Describe response procedures • Designate a community and facility
coordinator • Provide training with responders • LEPCs update annually
Emergency Release Notification
• Notify LEPC/SEPC of release
• 355 Extremely Hazardous Substances
• 700 hazardous substances
Hazardous Chemical Storage Reporting
• Safety Data Sheets SDS
• 500,000 products
• Threshold quantities require Tier I or II
• Updated annually through LEPC
Knowing What We Know RMP
• Risk Management Plan Due to Ammonia & Nitric Acid (Under Clean Air Act)
• 40 CFR Part 68 Risk Management Program
SPCC Also Necessary
• Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure
• Aboveground storage capacity exceeds 1320 gallons
• Underground storage capacity exceeds 42,000 gallons
• If the facility could reasonably expect to discharge oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States.
PIPP Required
• Pollution Incident Prevention Plan • Many of these plans overlap • Thus see (ICP) Integrated Contingency
Plan • There is a rule allowing the ICP to
integrate all the information for Federal, State and Local
• Confusing to a Fire Guy
No Real Surprises
• Due To Reporting, plans are in place
• We know this location is a high hazard
• 704 Placard on buildings
• Site Specific drills & or Table Tops
