| Partial Activation: A minimal number of ICS positions are assigned and activated. Incident management needs are fairly simple and the Operations Center as a whole may serve as the EOC. The Control Room at either the Schwartz Wastewater or Bull Creek Water Treatment Plants may serve as a basic EOC if appropriate.
Limited Activation: Incident management needs are more complex and the ICS structure is also more complex. Again, the Operations Center as a whole may serve as the EOC. The Schwartz Wastewater or Bull Creek Water Treatment Plants may serve as a basic EOC if appropriate. Full Activation: Incident management needs are significant and the ICS structure is proportionally complex. Typically the Operations Center will be set up as a fully functioning EOC. Primary Emergency Operations Center: When necessary and appropriate, an Emergency Operations Center shall be established at GSWSA’s Operations Center at 170 Jackson Bluff Road. The primary telephone number is (843) 443-8200. The SCADA/Communications area will become a vital part of the EOC, but during an incident, access to this area must be limited and closely controlled. During full EOC activation, the Training Room will become the core of our Emergency Operations Center. Incident Command staff will work out of this room which will be equipped with PCs, mobile radios, status boards, telephones, and other resources to assist those directing and managing incident operations and activities. Alternate Emergency Operations Center: If the primary EOC is unusable for any reason there are two alternate EOC locations. One is the Bull Creek Water Treatment Plant, located at Treatment Plant Road in Bucksport. The primary telephone number for this location is (843) 443-8300. The second alternate location is the Schwartz treatment plant located on Freewood Road in Burgess. The primary phone number there is (843) 234-8433. The location of the alternate site will be determined based on the type of emergency and the potential for damage to water and/or wastewater operations.
