2. Description of applicant's project. (Details please).
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.
