Current Issues: • Weld County currently has facilities filing Risk Management Plans (RMPs) under the Clean Air Act of 1990 (CAA). Numbers of reporting facilities differ depending upon the source of information. It is probable that more facilities should be reporting. Need verification that all RMP facilities reporting to EPA are also known entities to the LEPC and fire districts. • The RMPs that are submitted need to be evaluated to determine if they are useful and accurate. Is there additional information needed for the response community to adequately plan/prepare/train/exercise for a potential response? • Are the fire districts aware of all of the EPCRA Tier II and CAA RMP facilities in their district? Are the facilities and response community communicating? What does that communication look like? • Finally, Weld County is interested in applying complete and accurate Tier II and RMP data to the current GIS framework in the county. Vision of Success: • All EPCRA facilities and RMP facilities that should be reporting, are reporting, — and the information is getting to the local LEPC and associated response districts. The reported information is received in the appropriate response districts and utilized for planning, training and exercising response capabilities for identified hazards. • Response districts are fully educated to the information available to them in the Tier II and RMP reports (and the information available to them upon request) and utilize that information to plan and prepare specifically for the present hazards and the associated transportation hazards. • Entities that have significant quantities of chemicals, and are compliant with EPCRA and CAA reporting requirements, understand the benefit of sharing -2- chemical inventory, transportation data and risk information with the response community. • Reporting facilities (Tier II and RMP) information are available to planning and response personnel in the county's GIS system. The information is utilized for planning, training, exercising and response needs. Activities Proposed to Address Issues RMP Verification Activity: Obtain complete list of RMP facilities for Weld County. Cross reference with EPCRA Tier II information and known chemical facilities in response districts in the county. Identify gaps and pursue compliance with RMP reporting. Outcome: Increased number of facilities reporting under CAA RMP requirements. Increased reliability of data. Tier II and RMP Education — Response Community Activity: Education (workshops, Q & A sessions) of response community to utilize Tier II and RMP information in planning activities. Outcome: Increased number of response districts that receive and utilize Tier II and RMP data in planning, training and transportation analysis activities. RMP Education — Regulated Community Activity: Education (educational materials, site visits, Q & A sessions) to encourage EPCRA Tier II and RMP facilities to communicate and work with the local response community in planning and preparedness activities. Outcome: Increased number of EPCRA Tier II and RMP facilities that share information and actively work with the response community. Planning/Response Access to Information via GIS Activity: Current Weld County GIS System is supplemented with accurate Tier II and RMP facility data. Education of response entities to utilize new system. Outcome: Increased knowledge of response community about how to access Tier II and RMP information in Weld County. Summary of activities proposed: EPCRA/RMP Facility outreach and verification of information, EPCRA/RMP compliance enhancement, enhanced incorporation of Tier II and RMP facility information in emergency plan preparation, enhanced access of Tier II and RMP information via the county GIS system. 3. The specific hazardous materials activities to be addressed by the project. (Details please).

Outline of work plan with personnel, time schedule, and deliverables (attach extra pages as needed for this item). Weld County has a potential for a student intern from Colorado State University (CSU) who could work with the county and fire districts on these projects. Project duration would be from January 2011 through September 30, 2011. Deliverables would include: • Complete list of RMP facility information from the RMP Reporting Center—verified for accuracy and updated as necessary with local information; • Complete list of EPCRA Tier II reporting facilities from State - verified for accuracy and updated as necessary with local information; • Workshop materials for facility outreach on EPCRA and RMP reporting and importance of working with local response entities; • Workshop materials for response districts on access and utilization of Tier II and RMP data; • Incorporated Tier II and RMP layers in the county GIS system; 5.
