15. REMEDIES
If Grantee is in breach under any provision of this Grant, provided that a breach is not necessary under §15(B),
the State shall have all of the remedies listed in this §15 in addition to all other remedies set forth in other
sections of this Grant following the notice and cure period set forth in§14(B). The State may exercise any or all
of the remedies available to it, in its sole discretion, concurrently or consecutively. If the form of financial
assistance is a loan, as specified in the table on page 1 of this Grant, and in the event of a termination of this
Grant, such termination shall not extinguish Grantee's obligations under the Promissory Note and the Deed of
Trust.
A. Termination for Cause and/or Breach
If Grantee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder with such diligence as is required to ensure its
completion in accordance with the provisions of this Grant and in a timely manner, the State may notify
Grantee of such non-performance in accordance with the provisions herein. If Grantee thereafter fails to
promptly cure such non-performance within the cure period, the State, at its option, may terminate this
entire Grant or such part of this Grant as to which there has been delay or a failure to properly perform.
Exercise by the State of this right shall not be deemed a breach of its obligations hereunder. Grantee shall
continue performance of this Grant to the extent not terminated, if any.
i. Obligations and Rights
To the extent specified in any termination notice, Grantee shall not incur further obligations or render
further performance hereunder past the effective date of such notice, and shall terminate outstanding
orders and sub-grants/contracts with third parties. However, Grantee shall complete and deliver to the
State all Work, Services and Goods not cancelled by the termination notice and may incur obligations
as are necessary to do so within this Grant's terms. At the sole discretion of the State, Grantee shall
assign to the State all of Grantee's right, title, and interest under such terminated orders or sub-
grants/contracts. Upon termination, Grantee shall take timely, reasonable and necessary action to
protect and preserve property in the possession of Grantee in which the State has an interest. All
materials owned by the State in the possession of Grantee shall be immediately returned to the State.
All Work Product, at the option of the State, shall be delivered by Grantee to the State and shall
become the State's property.
ii. Payments
The State shall reimburse Grantee only for accepted performance up to the date of termination. If,
after termination by the State, it is determined that Grantee was not in breach or that Grantee's action
or inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination in the public interest and
Page 9 of 17
HMEP: 11EM71H63
the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be the same as if this Grant had been terminated in the
public interest, as described herein.
iii. Damages and Withholding
Notwithstanding any other remedial action by the State, Grantee also shall remain liable to the State
for any damages sustained by the State by virtue of any breach under this Grant by Grantee and the
State may withhold any payment to Grantee for the purpose of mitigating the State's damages, until
such time as the exact amount of damages due to the State from Grantee is determined. The State may
withhold any amount that may be due to Grantee as the State deems necessary to protect the State,
including loss as a result of outstanding liens or claims of former lien holders, or to reimburse the
State for the excess costs incurred in procuring similar goods or services. Grantee shall be liable for
excess costs incurred by the State in procuring from third parties replacement Work, Services or
substitute Goods as cover.
B. Early Termination in the Public Interest

Colorado, as determined by its Governor, General Assembly, and/or Courts. If this Grant ceases to further
the public policy of the State, the State, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Grant in whole or in part.
Exercise by the State of this right shall not constitute a breach of the State's obligations hereunder. This
subsection shall not apply to a termination of this Grant by the State for cause or breach by Grantee, which
shall be governed by §15(A) or as otherwise specifically provided for herein.
i. Method and Content
The State shall notify Grantee of such termination in accordance with §16. The notice shall specify
the effective date of the termination and whether it affects all or a portion of this Grant.
ii. Obligations and Rights
Upon receipt of a termination notice, Grantee shall be subject to and comply with the same obligations
and rights set forth in§15(A)(i).
iii.Payments
If this Grant is terminated by the State pursuant to this §15(B), Grantee shall be paid an amount which
bears the same ratio to the total reimbursement under this Grant as the Services satisfactorily
performed bear to the total Services covered by this Grant, less payments previously made.
Additionally, if this Grant is less than 60% completed, the State may reimburse Grantee for a portion
of actual out-of-pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this Grant) incurred by Grantee
which are directly attributable to the uncompleted portion of Grantee's obligations hereunder;
provided that the sum of any and all reimbursement shall not exceed the maximum amount payable to
Grantee hereunder.
C. Remedies Not Involving Termination
The State, at its sole discretion, may exercise one or more of the following remedies in addition to other
remedies available to it:
i. Suspend Performance
Suspend Grantee's performance with respect to all or any portion of this Grant pending necessary
corrective action as specified by the State without entitling Grantee to an adjustment in price/cost or
performance schedule. Grantee shall promptly cease performance and incurring costs in accordance
with the State's directive and the State shall not be liable for costs incurred by Grantee after the
suspension of performance under this provision.
ii. Withhold Payment
Withhold payment to Grantee until corrections in Grantee's performance are satisfactorily made and
completed.
iii.Deny Payment
Deny payment for those obligations not performed, that due to Grantee's actions or inactions, cannot
be performed or, if performed, would be of no value to the State; provided, that any denial of payment
shall be reasonably related to the value to the State of the obligations not performed.
Page 10 of 17
HMEP: 11EM71H63
iv. Removal
Demand removal of any of Grantee's employees, agents, or Sub-grantees whom the State deems
incompetent, careless, insubordinate, unsuitable, or otherwise unacceptable, or whose continued
relation to this Grant is deemed to be contrary to the public interest or not in the State's best interest.
v. Intellectual Property
If Grantee infringes on a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right
while performing its obligations under this Grant, Grantee shall, at the State's option (a) obtain for the
State or Grantee the right to use such products and services; (b) replace any Goods, Services, or other
product involved with non-infringing products or modify them so that they become non-infringing; or,

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 ll
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). Include details of how this grant will support the Regional TCL for WMD and
Hazardous Materials Response and Decontamination.
-3-
Improve reporting and planning compliance with Tier II and RMP; increase understanding of risk
from EPCRA and RMP facilities in response sector of the community; increase awareness of
local emergency planning role and access to EPCRA and RMP information; increase
communication between EPCRA and/or RMP-regulated community and the response sector.
4. 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;
