Purpose Emergency Support (ESF) #10 describes the prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities actions unique to oil and hazardous materials response. ESF #10 addresses: Response to oil and hazardous materials incidents at both fixed sites and on transportation routes Specialized local, regional, state and federal mutual aid resources Hazardous materials planning and reporting requirements Short and long-term environmental clean-up Situation and Assumptions Situation Fire prevention and control are daily problems faced by fire service personnel. These problems become more significant during emergency situations. Several hazards present difficulties with regard to fire protection including extensive fires, grassland fires, and hazardous materials incidents/accidents. Harvey County is served by 11 fire departments and one regional search & rescue team. All fire departments have mutual aid agreements. Assumptions The primary responsibilities of the fire service are: Prevention and suppression of fires. Rescue services. Response to hazardous material incidents. Existing fire personnel and equipment will be able to handle most emergency situations through their own resources or mutual aid. Clearing roads to permit passage of emergency vehicles will be a high priority of the County Engineer (or County Road Supervisor) after a disaster. Law enforcement will handle traffic and crowd control at the scene to permit access for emergency personnel and equipment. In the event of crisis relocation or wide spread disaster, very limited outside resources will be available. In the event of a hazardous materials incident/accident involving Harvey County, response activities of local fire departments will be directed by the EOC. Scope ESF #10 is a functional annex to the Local Emergency Operations Plan (LEOP) and, to the extent possible, information contained in other sections of the LEOP will be referenced but not be repeated in this ESF Annex. Most of the agencies with ESF #10 responsibilities have existing emergency plans and procedures. ESF #10 is not 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 2 of 17

designed to take the place of these plans; rather it is designed to ensure that specific hazardous materials planning requirements are met. When appropriate, ESF #10 will reference and support the departmental staffing and procedures already in place. Policies ESF #10 applies to all agencies with assigned emergency responsibilities as described in the LEOP. Authorities and references specific to ESF #10 Oil and Hazardous Materials Response (A general list of authorities and references is found in the Basic Plan.): Title III of the Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (Public Law 99.499) Kansas Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, KSA 65-5701-65-5712 National Response Team (NRT) Hazardous Materials Emergency Planning Guide; updated 2002 By-Laws of the County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) dated September 1, 1989. The ESF #10 Coordinator and the support agencies are critical members of the EOC Team and will work within the EOC structure described in ESF #5 Emergency Management. Concept of Operations The Harvey County and City Fire Departments are the primary agencies for providing ESF #10 technical assistance, resources and support during response activities. Close coordination is maintained with local, state and federal officials to determine potential needs for support and the most expeditious means of acquiring that support. Various incident management systems will be used for collecting, processing, and disseminating information. Due to the large number of hazardous materials stored or transported in Harvey County, there is a potential of contamination or explosion that may call for the evacuation of an area. The major routes through the county are: I- 135/U.S. 81, U.S. 50, K15, K196 and which along with two railroads covering the county pose a major transport problem and could involve one or more evacuation routes. Responder Certification All firefighters are trained to at least the first responder operations level in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120. Hazardous Materials team members are trained to the hazardous materials technician level under the same regulation. All EMS personnel are trained to at least the hazardous materials awareness level, as well as EMS competencies for NFPA 473 Level 1. Providers of specialized equipment are responsible for ensuring the proper training and certification of equipment operators. Organization Small scale hazardous material incidents occur almost daily and are routinely handled by local fire departments, often with the assistance of utility companies and/or hazardous material (HAZMAT) clean-up contractors. For larger scale 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 3 of 17

incidents or those involving more dangerous hazardous materials, specially trained and equipped fire service HAZMAT Teams are required, accompanied by a HAZMAT Medical Support Team. Responsibility for the clean-up of hazardous materials lies, under Kansas law, with the spiller. The County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) is responsible for reviewing the adequacy of hazardous materials plans, available resources and responder training. The local fire department is responsible for initial response; and, if possible, containment of the hazardous material. All hazardous material incidents will be reported to the Emergency Management Director for coordinating additional support and for notifying/reporting to appropriate state agencies. The Incident Commander will determine the hazard level of the incident, identification of the material, and direct the activities of responders and affected population. The environmental risks, and actions used for containment are to be reported. The Incident Commander will also make all tactical field decisions using their Hazardous Materials Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). These SOPs are maintained by the each fire department. Regional HAZMAT Response Network The HAZMAT teams exist through contracts between individual local fire departments and the State Fire Marshal's Office. The fire departments agree to provide team members and regional response outside their local jurisdiction and the State Fire Marshal's Office provides training and equipment at no cost to the department. The State Fire Marshal's Office also reimburses all costs associated with actual HAZMAT responses. The twelve regional response teams, consisting of nationally accredited hazardous materials technicians, are fully equipped to enter the area immediately surrounding the hazardous material in order to monitor the environment and mitigate the incident. The regional response teams comprise a network and are able to support each other with personnel and or equipment when needed. These teams can respond to most areas in Kansas within an hour or less in order to address HAZMAT incidents and accidents as well as terrorist events involving chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) products. The regional response teams are located in the following areas: Coffeyville, Colby, Emporia, Ford County, Hays, Manhattan, Overland Park, Salina, Sedgwick County, Seward County, Topeka, and Wellington. Types of Incidents The release of a hazardous material into the environment can pose a significant threat to the community. The most likely occurrences of such releases are in the following areas: Transportation Routes Major highways, railroad lines and pipeline routes are primary corridors for the transportation of hazardous materials. The county s major highway and railroad lines are depicted as an attachment to ESF #1-Transportation. A map depicting pipelines can be found in Attachments. Notification of a hazardous materials spill or release from transportation incidents is normally made through the 9-1-1 Dispatch Center, which will notify the Harvey County Emergency Management Director/LEPC. Business & Industry The County LEPC maintains a list of facilities reporting extremely hazardous substances (EHS) under the provisions of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). In the event of a spill/release potentially endangering public safety, the facility is responsible for immediately notifying the Fire Department in the jurisdiction in which the incident has occurred. Notification will be accomplished by calling 9-1-1 and the appropriate Fire Department. The industry has the legal obligation to notify the LEPC, NRC, and KDEM on all 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 4 of 17

releases. This emergency notification must include: Chemical name and whether it is an extremely hazardous substance Estimate of the quantity released into the environment Time and duration of the release Medium into which the release occurred Any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the release Advice on medical attention for exposed individuals Necessary precautions such as evacuation or in-place shelter Name of a contact person The facility is required to provide ongoing information and assistance to the Fire Department, the Emergency Management Department and the EOC as required by the situation. Any facility producing, using or storing one or more hazardous materials must also notify the National Response Center, the KDEM, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) of any release that exceeds the reportable quantity for that substance. Subject to this notification requirement are all materials on the CERCLA list and those on the list of extremely hazardous substances established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Agriculture Pesticides, fertilizers and other common agricultural chemicals may also pose a threat to the environment if involved in an uncontrolled release or otherwise used improperly. Illegal Dumping Used motor oils, solvents, paints, etc. can also threaten health and the environment if not disposed of properly. Biological and medical wastes can pose similar threats. Radioactive Materials Interstates, railroads, and even commercial airlines are authorized routes for the shipment of certain types of radioactive materials. Fire district HAZMAT Teams provide the primary source of radiological monitors and radiological response teams for the county. There are no fixed nuclear facilities located in Harvey County, and there are no planned nuclear shipments in the future through the County. Incident Classification Incident classification according to NIMS: Type 5 No written Incident Action Plan (IAP) is required. The incident can be handled with one or two single resources with up to six personnel. Command and General Staff positions (other than the Incident Commander are not activated. The incident is contained within the first operational period and often within an hour to a few hours after resources arrive on the scene. Examples include a vehicle fire, an injured person, or a police traffic stop. Type 4 No written Incident Action Plan (IAP) is required but a documented operational briefing will be completed for all incoming 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 5 of 17

resources. The role of the agency administrator includes operational plans including objectives and priorities. Examples include a building fire or large protest/rally. Command and General Staff functions are activated only if needed. Several resources are required to mitigate the incident. The incident is usually limited to one operational period in the control phase. The agency administrator may have briefings, and ensure the complexity analysis and delegation of authority are updated. Type 3 The incident may extend into multiple operational periods. A written IAP may be required for each operational period. A Type 3 Incident Management Team (IMT) or incident command organization manages initial action incidents with a significant number of resources, an extended attack incident until containment/control is achieved, or an expanding incident until transition to a Type 1 or 2 team. Examples include a chemical leak with evacuation, tropical storm/hurricane or a hostage stand-off. When capabilities exceed initial emergency response, the appropriate ICS positions should be added to match the complexity of the incident. Some or all of the Command and General Staff positions may be activated, as well as Division/Group supervisor and/or Unit Leader level positions. Type 2 Most or all of the Command and General Staff positions are filled. A written IAP is required for each operational period. Many of the functional units are needed and staffed. Examples include a devastating flood or earthquake. This type of incident extends beyond the capabilities for local control and is expected to go into multiple operational periods. A Type 2 Incident may require the response of resources out of area, including regional and/or national resources, to effectively manage the operations, command and general staffing. The agency administrator is responsible for the incident complexity analysis, agency administrator briefings, and the written delegation of authority. Operations personnel normally do not exceed 200 per operational period and total incident personnel do not exceed 500 (guidelines only). Type 1 All Command and General Staff positions are activated. Branches need to be established. Use of resource advisors at the incident base is recommended. Examples include a major terroristic attack, or a Katrina level disaster. This type of incident is the most complex, requiring national resources to safely and effectively manage and operate. Operations personnel often exceed 500 per operational period and total incident personnel will usually exceed 51,000. The agency administrator will have briefings, and ensure that the complexity analysis and delegation of authority are updated. There is a high impact on the local jurisdiction, requiring additional staff for office administrative and support functions. Evacuation Order With the order by the chief executive of the affected political subdivision, evacuation will start. In situations where rapid evacuation is critical to the continued health and safety of the population, the on-scene command authority may issue the order. In case of a 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 6 of 17

hazardous material accident/incident, it may be the Law Enforcement Officer or Fire Chief. In other cases it may be one of the above or the responsible person. But in all cases the chief executive should be advised at once. Evacuation Decision Considerations Evacuation may be only one protective alternative. Care must be exercised so as to pose more danger to the affected population. Some considerations are as follows: Weather conditions. Evacuation routes, their capacities and susceptibilities to hazards. The availability and readiness of shelters. Modes of transportation for evacuees and for those unable to provide their own. The location of special needs groups who pose unique problems, as the evacuation itself could be more life threatening to these groups than the initial hazard. Be alert to any physical barriers, lack of transportation and considering the time consumption, should be implemented in the evacuation process planning. Evacuation Area Definition The definition of the area will be up to the appropriate agencies or officials order. In all cases, the situation needs to be continually monitored. The command authority will insure that the evacuation area is defined in terms clearly understandable by the general public and that this information is provided to the Public Information Officer for rapid dissemination. Affected Populations Evacuation of an area within 2,000 feet of the incident will be accomplished immediately by law enforcement officers upon declaration of a state of disaster emergency by the onscene commander. The routes of evacuation and staging areas for the evacuees will be determined by the senior law enforcement officer from the affected jurisdictional area at the Command Post/Multipurpose Staging Area (CP/MSA) with assistance of the on-scene commander. Once a 2,000 foot radius area from the incident site has been evacuated, law enforcement officials will stand ready to evacuate additional areas if required. This will be accomplished by orders from the law enforcement officer in charge at the CP/MSA. When evacuation of an area takes place, the Emergency Management Staff will be alerted so that the necessary services can be activated and coordinated. Due to the specialized nature of hazardous materials response, a contingency plan has been developed. Public Warning and Notification Any wide-scale public warning will be accomplished through a combination of different media including, but not limited to: Emergency Alert System (EAS) notifications over radio/television stations and cable TV networks, paging systems for responders & the hearing impaired, public address equipment on fire and police vehicles, and door to door notifications, when feasible. If requested by the IC, the EOC will notify any special facilities located in the affected area. In the event a special facility cannot be notified by telephone and it is safe to do so, a Police Officer will be dispatched to make direct contact with the facility using the 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 7 of 17

appropriate personnel protective equipment. Pre-Evacuation Warning: On slow-moving events, pre-evacuation notice should be given to affected residents if it appears that conditions may warrant such action. Residents should be given warning that they may have to move out upon 30 minutes notice. Consideration must be given to hospitals, nursing homes, elderly, handicapped, schools, and large gatherings. Evacuation Warning: The use of warning modes will be utilized to direct the affected population. Persons who refuse will be left, but should be noted as not going and reported to the EOC. Emergency Public Information: The Public Information Officer will insure information is disseminated to the media on a timely basis. This will include staging area/pick-up points for persons without transportation. Movement Private vehicles will be the major mode of transportation. The movement effort will be conducted by law enforcement agencies. Disabled vehicles will moved to the side of the routes and pulled to the reception area parking lot. Each route will be cleared once a day by order of the transportation coordinator. Under the law enforcement program there will be personnel assigned from the reception center for vehicle security. The use of the wrecker service will be coordinated by the law enforcement communicators. For amplifying information on warning and notification activities, see ESF #2 Communications. Decontamination Hazardous materials decontamination should be directed toward reduction of absorption, prevention of systemic exposure, confinement of the material to specific areas and the prevention of personnel contamination. Decontamination personnel outfitted with proper personnel protective equipment will establish a decontamination area as directed by the IC. At a minimum, decontamination should consist of a minimum two-stage process of deluge water flushing attention should be paid to water runoff. Decontaminated victims should be prepared for transport with the proper clothing. Weather conditions may require adjustment of the decontamination procedures used. The personal effects and equipment of individuals will be removed, collected, decontaminated, documented and properly contained. The IC is responsible for ensuring that hospital personnel are notified of the following: The victims have suffered exposure to a hazardous material The type of hazardous material and amount of suspected exposure Approximate number of victims involved and their estimated time of arrival to facility Current status of the victims (i.e., decontamination in progress) The receiving hospital will notify EMS providers at the scene of special procedures to 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 8 of 17

follow (access route to emergency room, etc.) and the current capacity of their facility. All communications between hospitals and on-site EMS personnel should be coordinated (for additional information, see ESF #8 Health and Medical Services). Resource Augmentation The Senior Fire Officer will activate inter-local agreements when the emergency extends beyond the jurisdictional boundaries or capabilities of the local fire department. When an emergency extends beyond the capabilities or resources of agreement units, the Senior Fire Officer will do the following: Notify the Emergency Management Director to obtain additional support. Request assistance from state and/or their agencies/organizations required at the scene. Personnel and equipment will be deployed to the greater needed area. Outside Resources CHEMTREC The Chemical Transportation Emergency Center (CHEMTREC) is a public service of the Chemical Manufacturers Association that provides immediate advice for those at the scene of an emergency and promptly contacts the shipper of the hazardous materials involved for more detailed assistance and appropriate follow-up. CHEMTREC operates around the clock can usually provide hazard information guidance when given the identification number or the name of the product and the nature of the problem. When contacting CHEMTREC as much of the following information should be provided as possible: Name of caller and callback number Nature and location of the problem Guide number in use Shipper or manufacturer Container type Railcar or truck number Carrier name Consignee Local weather conditions The successful use of the Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Guidebook may depend upon contact with CHEMTREC as soon as the incident has been surveyed and the immediate needs of the people involved in the situation have been handled. Surrounding Jurisdictions There are resources available from surrounding jurisdictions to augment those of the Harvey County fire districts in the event of a major hazardous materials incident. Each of the fire departments maintain mutual aid agreements with other jurisdictions. State and Federal Resources 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 9 of 17

Several state agencies are available to provide resources and technical assistance to the responding fire department(s) including those of the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the Kansas Division of Emergency Management (KDEM). The resources of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Regional Hazardous Materials Response Teams may also be available to supplement County resources. To request state of federal resources see ESF #5 Emergency Management. Spill Reporting Federal and state laws require that federal, state and local agencies be notified in the event of a spill, discharge or accidental release of any material that may endanger people or pollute the water, air or soil. The responsibility for reporting these spills lies with the facility owner/operator or, for transportation incidents, the shipper. Initial notification is made by calling 9-1-1. 9-1-1 will then call the necessary fire units and, if needed, a HAZMAT team and the HAZMAT Medical Support Team. In addition to notifying 911, the spiller is also responsible for notifying the appropriate state and federal agencies depending on the type of incident. Harvey County Emergency Management will check with the responding agency to insure that proper notification has been made to the National Response Center (NRC) as needed. Other notifications will be made in accordance to State and Federal requirements per standard operating procedures. For spills of hazardous materials covered under SARA Title III, the 9-1-1 call fulfills the spiller s obligation to notify both the fire district and the County LEPC. Similarly, the call to the Kansas Division of Emergency Management (KDEM) constitutes the spiller s notification of the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC). For fixed-facility spills that either affect or have the potential to affect other counties, the spiller has an additional obligation to notify the LEPC in each of those counties. If a spill occurs during transport, the shipper is required only to call 9-1-1. Regardless whether CERCLA, EPCRA, Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), or Oil Pollution Act (OPA) notifications must be made to KDEM, KDHE, and the NRC. Notifications Emergency Communications will notify the Emergency Management Department of all hazardous materials incidents. If necessary, the Emergency Preparedness Director, or designee, will activate the County EOC and notify the appropriate officials. A fire department representative will report to the EOC to serve as the ESF #10 Oil and Hazardous Materials Response Coordinator. As additional EOC staffing needs become apparent, other agencies with support responsibilities may be asked to report to the EOC by the ESF #10 Coordinator or the Emergency Management Department. Actions Preparedness Maintain this ESF Annex and its attachments Ensure personnel are appropriately trained and equipped to deal with hazardous materials incidents Develop and maintain standard operating guides and checklists for hazardous 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 10 of 17

Develop and implement mitigation strategies Make necessary changes in this ESF Annex and supporting plans and procedures to improve future operations Prevention Participate in the hazard identification process and identify and correct vulnerabilities Develop Emergency Management programs for hazardous materials incidents Direction and Control The IC will attempt to isolate, contain and stabilize a hazardous materials incident until the material can be removed or disposed of properly. However, an incident could occur that is beyond immediately available resources and the only actions that may be taken are evacuation, shelter-in-place or other measures to protect local inhabitants and responding personnel. The ESF #10 Coordinator will oversee and coordinate all responding organizations and assess their needs. The ESF #10 Coordinator will work with the EOC Team to help responding hazardous materials response resources obtain resources and ensure necessary medical services are provided. Training and Exercises Training will be conducted by each department to meet the certification set up in 29 CFR1910.120 for Hazard Waste Operations and Emergency Response. There will be Full Scale exercises involving as many departments as possible based on the requirement motioned by law. Regular tabletop exercises will be conducted during normal departmental meetings. See Basic Plan-Incident Management Actions. 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 11 of 17

Responsibilities All tasked agencies will: Develop applicable standard operating procedures, guidelines and/or checklists detailing the accomplishment of their assigned functions When requested, deploy a representative to the EOC to assist with ESF #10 activities Provide ongoing status reports as requested by the Hazardous Materials Response Coordinator Maintain updated resource inventories of supplies, equipment, and personnel resources, including possible sources of augmentation or replacement Document all costs and expenses associated with response and recovery activities taking care to clearly separate disaster related work from daily work in the event that State and Federal reimbursement becomes available Maintain up-to-date rosters for notifying personnel and 24-hour staffing capabilities Perform other emergency responsibilities as assigned Organization and Assignment of Responsibilities All of the emergency functions detailed in this plan could play a role in successfully carrying out an evacuation in Harvey County. The overall responsibility for issuing evacuation orders rest with the chief elected executives of the affected political subdivisions; however, the on-scene command authority can make a decision to evacuate when there is an immediate need in order to protect lives and provide for public safety. Coordination of evacuation support efforts will be 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 13 of 17

carried out by the Emergency Management Director. Key organizational requirements are: Fire Departments For hazardous material and fire incidents, the fire department is responsible for on-scene control and advising executives on the evacuation decision. Also responsible for fire security in evacuated areas and assistance in warning the public. Law Enforcement Agencies Responsible for conducting actual evacuation efforts, for designated evacuation routes, providing traffic and movement control, and establishing security for the evacuation area. If necessary, they will also assist in warning the public. Public Information Officer Responsible for dissemination of emergency information advising the public of what evacuation actions to take. Reception and Care Coordinator The Superintendent of USD 373 will be responsible for coordinating Reception and Care activities to include establishing registration, lodging, and feeding facilities. This effort will be supported by the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, and other agencies. County Agencies Will support the evacuation of areas by maintaining routes and providing manpower and equipment to transport evacuees. Assist law enforcement in property protection and perimeter and traffic control. Harvey County Service Organizations Provide manpower and equipment, assist in evacuation, and conduct search and rescue operations. Assist with transportation and provide communications. Harvey County Emergency Management Director Responsible for advising the County Commissioners and City Government on the evacuation decision, coordinating evacuation support activities, providing for special transportation, and managing resources. State Departments Will ensure Social Service programs are continued and supported. Provide manpower and equipment and implement crisis counseling and other activities to assist special needs groups such as the handicapped, infirmed, and elderly. Federal Assistance The 73rd Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team (WMD-CST) based at the Kansas National Guard facility in Topeka provides support to local and state authorities at domestic WMD/NBC incident sites by identifying agents and substances, assessing current and projected consequences, advising on response measures, and assisting with requests for additional military support. The WMD civil support team is able to deploy rapidly, assist local first-responders in determining the nature of an attack, provide medical and technical advice, and pave the way for the identification and arrival of follow-on state and federal military response assets. The team can provide initial advice on what the agent may be, assist first responders in that detection assessment process, and are the first military responders on the ground, so that if additional federal resources are called into the situation, they can serve as an advance party that can liaise with the Joint Task Force Civil Support. 1/26/2012 2:37:28 PM Page 14 of 17

Link to Primary and Support Agency Responsibilities Administration and Support Support Requests for emergency assistance will be resolved at the lowest level direction and control facility with appropriate response resources capabilities. Unresolved assistance requests will normally flow upward from cities to the county, and/or field deployed command posts to responsible representatives in the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC), and as required to other states or the federal government for assistance support. Agreements and Understandings All agreements and understandings entered into for the purchase, lease, or otherwise use of equipment and services, will be in accordance with the provision of laws and procedures. The Proclamation of a State Disaster issued by the Governor may suspend selected rules and regulations that affect support operations. The primary agency will determine the specific impact of the situation and inform the ESF group members. Status Reports The primary agency will maintain status of all outstanding assistance requests and unresolved ESF-related issues. This information will be summarized into periodic status reports and submitted in accordance with applicable operating procedures. Expenditures and Recordkeeping Each ESF agency is responsible for establishing administrative controls necessary to manage the expenditure of funds and to provide reasonable accountability and justification for federal reimbursement in accordance with the established guidelines. The first source of funds for expenditures by agencies in response to an emergency, imminent disaster, or recovery from a catastrophic incident, is to be from County and local jurisdiction funds. Critiques Following the conclusion of any significant emergency event/incident or exercise, the primary agency representative will conduct an after action review of the group activities during the event/incident/exercise. Support agencies will provide written and/or oral inputs for this critique and the primary agency representative will consolidate all inputs into a final report and submit it to the County Emergency Management Director.
