ESF-10: HAZARDOUS MATERIALSI. GENERAL A. Primary Agencies: Levy County Emergency Management B. Support Agencies: Levy County Fire/Rescue Department Levy County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Levy County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) Levy County Road Department Municipal Police Departments Municipal Public Works and Road Departments Alachua County Fire Rescue Marion County Fire Rescue Citrus County Fire Rescue II. INTRODUCTION: A. Purpose: To provide a support plan in response to an actual or potential discharge and/or release of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) resulting from a natural, man-made or technological disaster. B. Scope: Emergency Support Function (ESF) 10 provides for a coordinated, effective and efficient response to discharges and releases of hazardous materials by placing human, financial and material resources into action in the impacted area. This ESF establishes the lead coordination roles and determines the department and specific responsibilities among county agencies that are brought in to support in response actions. This plan is applicable to all county and municipal departments and agencies with responsibilities and assets to support the local response to actual and potential discharges and releases of hazardous materials. A natural or other catastrophic disaster could result in numerous situations in which hazardous materials are released into the environment. Fixed facilities such as sites, which use, store or dispose of hazardous materials could be damaged so severely that existing spill control apparatus and containment measures are not effective. Hazardous materials that are transported may be involved in rail accidents, highway collisions or pipeline accidents. Abandoned hazardous waste sites could be damaged causing further degradation of holding ponds, tanks and drums. C. Planning Assumptions: 1. Hazardous materials that are transported may be involved in rail accidents, highway collisions or waterway mishaps. Abandoned hazardous waste sites could be damaged causing further degradation of holding ponds, tanks and drums. The damage to or rupture of pipelines transporting hazardous materials if improperly released will present serious problems. 2. Local response agencies will be overwhelmed by the extent of the response effort required to assess, mitigate, monitor, cleanup and dispose of hazardous materials released into the environment. 3. There may be numerous incidents occurring simultaneously in separate locations throughout Levy County. 4. Standard communications equipment and practices may be disrupted or destroyed. 5. Response personnel, cleanup crews and response equipment will have difficulty reaching the site of a hazardous materials release because of the damage sustained by the transportation infrastructure. 6. Additional response/cleanup personnel and equipment will be needed to supplement existing capabilities and to provide backup or relief resources. 7. Even if the natural or other catastrophic disaster does not cause situations where there are actual releases, there will be considerable concern about facilities that are located in or near the affected area. These facilities will need to be monitored by ESF-10. 8. Emergency exceptions will be needed for disposal of contaminated material. 9. Local or other mutual aid responders should be self sufficient in the early part of the response. 10. The Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council and the Local Emergency Planning Council District 5 will be utilized for hazmat data and potential site identification. 11. Levy County has limited hazmat resources and might require mutual aid. Mutual aid response teams will require at least an hour travel time and in some areas of the county may require two hours response time 12. The number of patients could exceed the capabilities of the Levy County EMS. 13. The number of patients, or their conditions, might exceed the capabilities of Natural Coast Regional Hospital. 14 The release might take place simultaneously with another incident, such as tornado or flooding. 15 An area evacuation might be required. 16. The most likely locations of a release include, but are not limited to: a. The major road systems b. Facilities that store and use hazardous substances that could include public schools, restaurants, and manufacturing plants c. Retail outlets that sell hazardous substances to the public. d. Williston Municipal Airport e. Marinas f. Campgrounds D. Priorities 1. First Priority - Response to those releases in which lives are in imminent danger. 2. Second Priority - Response to those areas in which lives are not in immediate danger, but evacuation is advisable. 3. Third Priority - Releases that do not require evacuation and lives are not in immediate danger. III. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS: A. General: ESF-10 will direct the local emergency response actions, within the disaster area, immediately following a disaster involving hazardous materials. Close coordination must be maintained between federal, state and local officials. ESF-10 operations will secure, remove and dispose of hazardous materials from the disaster area and will initiate other early tasks demanded by Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) until further activation is deemed necessary. B. Organization: Levy County Emergency Management is the primary local agency for ESF-10 and will provide response on a 24-hour basis to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to ensure response actions are undertaken. The Florida DEP is the primary State Agency for ESF-10. The DEP provides representatives on a 24 hour basis to the EOC or the incident scene, when required, to insure the full deployment and utilization of Department resources. Regional Response Team Concept: Response Team: If the internal capabilities within the County are insufficient to adequately respond to and recover from a HAZMAT incident, and when inter-local mutual aid agreements are inadequate for proper response to the incident, assistance may be requested by Emergency Management or primary agency representative from the Regional Response Team (RRT). Additionally, assistance may be requested from the Regional Response Team made up of regional representatives of Federal and State agencies and co-chaired by EPA and United States Coast Guard (USCG). The RRT serves as a planning and preparedness body before a response, marshaling these respective agency response resources and providing coordination and advice to the Federal On-Scene Commander (OSC) during response actions. Training and Preparedness: The RRT participates in preparedness activities under the State ESF-10 and is expected to be closely involved in response activities. Coordination and Responsibilities: At the state level, activities under ESF-10 provide a bridge between the State On Scene Coordinator (OSC), directed response of the RRT and the overall disaster response activities. The OSC will carry out their responsibilities under the National Response Plan (NRP) to coordinate, integrate and manage the State effort to direct, identify, contain, cleanup, dispose of or minimize releases of oil, gases or other hazardous substances; or prevent, mitigate or minimize the threat of potential releases. These efforts will be coordinated under the direction of the State ESF-10 leadership. C. Notification 1. In the event of a spill or release involving hazardous materials, the State Warning Point (SWP) will be notified and will be provided the name of the County ESF-10 coordinator or their alternate. This notification will be initiated by ESATCOM in dispatch or telephone and may request that State ESF-10 representative report to the EOC or incident site, if required. 2. The ESF-10 Coordinator or alternate will alert support staff and agencies. D. Command Structure 1. The Unified Command structure will be utilized. 2. The fire department with jurisdiction will establish incident command. 3. The Levy County Fire/Rescue Department Director will be tasked by the primary agency of establishing Joint Command if multiple hazmat exist. 4. The Levy County Fire/Rescue Director will be tasked by the primary agency with establishing Joint Command when a single site is of such magnitude that the primary agency believes Joint Command is appropriate. 5. The Incident or Joint Command will operate from a command post in the field. 6. The Primary Agency will remain at the EOC. E. Command/EOC Coordination 1. The Levy County EOC will coordinate with the Incident Commander and provide resource support. 2. The Incident Command will furnish updated information regarding the site, at-risk populations and release materials to the EOC. 3. The EOC will maintain on-going coordination with the State EOC or State Emergency Response Team (SERT) liaison, if present. 4. The EOC will transmit request for mutual aid resources when requested to do so by the Incident Commander. 5. The EOC will furnish accurate and current information to ESF-14 for public and news media dissemination. 6. The EOC will track mutual aid resources and document their utilization and expenses. 7. The EOC will maintain records documentation for reimbursement. 8. The EOC will coordinate with the owner of the hazardous materials regarding the incident and their responsibilities for the disposal of contaminants. 9. The EOC will coordinate requests for information with the Florida DEP and federal agencies through the State EOC. 10. Through the incident, the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council and the Local Emergency Planning Committee-5 will be utilized as information resource. F. Hazardous Response Teams and Mutual Aid 1. There are no specific hazardous material response teams in Levy County. Capabilities within the county include initial response, HAZMAT identification, limited containment and limited removal and disposal. Removal and disposal is usually the “owners” responsibility. 2. Should a suspect HAZMAT incident occur, the current policy calls for the County resources to concentrate on containment and request the appropriate level of career hazmat teams from Alachua, Citrus and Marion counties. G. Containment 1 The senior representative of each public works and/or private sector crews will receive direction from the Incident Commander. 2. The senior representative will maintain direction and control of their personnel and assume accountability and safety of their personnel. 3. Public works crews will assist in containing the release and coordinating the removal and disposal of contaminated materials. 4. Resources may be pre-positioned at the discretion of the Incident Commander, when adequate knowledge of the incident and time permit pre-staging. H. Radiological Emergency Response Emergencies In the unlikely event of an accident at the Duke/ Progress Energy Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Power Plant, the Levy County Radiological Emergency Response Plan will be implemented to protect the public. The Levy County Radiological Emergency Plan is annexed through the Levy County CEMP and will be Implemented as the federally approved, emergency response plan and guiding document for any and all emergency response to an accident involving the release of radiological contaminants from Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Power Plant.
