INTRODUCTION. A. PURPOSE. Coordination of personnel called upon to respond to an accident or incident involving hazardous materials. Hazardous Materials ESF # 10 coordinates responses to an actual or potential discharge or release of hazardous materials resulting from a natural or man–made emergency. These incidents include, but are not necessarily limited to the following: motor vehicle transport emergencies, watercraft emergencies, release of radioactive and or chemical materials, laboratory emergencies, and criminal or terrorist activities. Detailed tactical response actions are set forth in the Butte-Silver Bow Hazardous Materials Response Plan, referenced in this document. B. SCOPE. Coordinate an effective and efficient response to discharges and releases of hazardous materials. Take necessary steps to assist with evacuation, restricting reentry into affected areas and requesting hazardous materials technical assistance. Coordinate hazardous materials team support in the detection and identification of hazardous materials and provide personnel, equipment, and supplies. C. SITUATION. 1. The threat of an incident involving hazardous materials has escalated due to the increase in everyday use and transportation of chemicals by the various segments of our population. 2. Hazardous materials emergencies could occur from any one of several sources including roadway and rail transportation, aircraft accidents, fixed facility accidents or weapons of mass destruction, although the most probable occurrence is household hazardous materials. 3. The local jurisdiction will respond to the incident in the initial phase without assistance from outside the jurisdiction. This includes notification and warning of the public, evacuation or sheltering in place, immediate first aid and isolation of the scene. 4. Victims of a hazardous materials incident may require unique or special medical treatment not typically available in the City-County. 5. The release of hazardous materials may have short and/or long term health, environmental and economic effects depending upon the type of product. 6. Hazardous materials emergencies may occur without warning requiring immediate emergency response actions. ---PAGE BREAK--- Annex III Emergency Support Function (ESF) # 10 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CEMP July 2011 10 - 5 7. Evacuation or sheltering-in-place may be required to protect portions of the City- County. 8. Large-scale hazardous materials incidents may require an extended commitment of personnel and resources from involved agencies and jurisdictions. 9. Emergency exemptions may be needed for disposal of contaminated material. 10. Resources and/or expertise of local agencies may be quickly be depleted by a response to a major incident and its consequences. Extensive use of area, state, and federal resources and intrastate mutual aid agreements must therefore be anticipated. 11. For terrorist/hazardous materials events involving weapons of mass destruction, there may be a large number of casualties, requiring specialized medical treatment, including decontamination and transport to medical facilities. In addition, incidents may require establishing temporary medical operations in the field. Fatalities may be numerous and special mortuary arrangements are likely to be necessary, because of contamination issues. D. POLICIES. 1. The Fire Department will exercise broad lawful authority, within existing capabilities, to protect life and property threatened by hazardous materials incidents, to include ordering evacuations, in–place sheltering, and necessary actions to contain the spill or release. For the purpose of this plan, a hazardous material is defined as any hazardous substance or material, including radioactive materials, which, when uncontrolled, can be harmful to people, animals, property, or the environment. 2. The Fire Department will retain the role of Incident Commander (IC) until the immediate threat to public safety is abated. Thereupon, the on–scene recovery efforts will normally be transferred to the Responsible Party (spiller) who has primary responsibility for cleanup of the spill/release. Attachment 4 describes orphaned material recovery procedures. The City-County will monitor the activities of the remediation effort to assure it is done correctly in cooperation with state and federal agencies. 3. Training programs for emergency responders in the City-County is coordinated through the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. Exercise schedules for this plan are developed and maintained by the Fire Department and in the Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan. II. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS. A. GENERAL. 1. Hazardous materials response operations will be conducted in accordance with the Butte-Silver Bow Hazardous Materials Response Plan. ---PAGE BREAK--- HAZARDOUS MATERIALS City & County of Butte–Silver Bow, Montana 10 - 6 CEMP July 2011 2. Additional response/cleanup personnel and equipment will be used as needed to supplement existing capabilities and to provide backup or relief resources. 3. There are several potential types of incidents involving hazardous materials: incidents at fixed facilities, shipping incidents, roadway or rail transportation accidents, incidents involving household hazardous materials, known materials on the water, railway or roadway and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD’s). 4. The level of response required for an incident is determined by: • Quantity, quality and the toxic effects of the material involved in the release. • Population and/or property threatened. • Type and availability of protective equipment required for the released material. • Consequences if no immediate action were taken. 5. Depending upon the threat posed by the incident, protective measures initiated for the safety of the public could include sheltering in place, evacuation and/or isolation of the contaminated environment. 6. Response procedures for each incident will be according to local policies and procedures in compliance with worker safety standards. 7. This ESF recognizes that a hazardous materials incident can change with time and necessitate escalating the response or downgrading the response as the situation dictates. 8. The Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) has been established at the City-County level to identify the magnitude of the local hazard, assess the vulnerability of the community to that hazard and provide planning guidance for emergency response. A point of contact, the facility coordinator, will be identified at each covered facility as identified by SARA, Title III, Section 302. 9. Specific hazardous materials facility information will be gathered and made available to the response community through the Fire Department. 10. Rapid and secure communication links will be established to ensure a prompt and coordinated response and communication plan utilized in accordance with existing agreements and regulations. B.
