TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
TO LEPCs
Wisconsin developed tools to
enhance technical assistance to
LEPCs for planning require-
ments under SARA Title HI, Oil
Pollution Act (OPA 90), Clean Air Act (CAA), and
the Hazardous Material Transportation Uniform
Safety Act (HMTUSA). Tools were designed to
improve the ability of LEPCs to conduct hazards
analyses, exercise plans, and conduct risk commu-
nication. Reports and guidance materials were
developed that may be helpful to other emergency
planning organizations; these products aie avail-
able on request. In addition, several items from
the original grant have been completed and
expanded, including off-site planning guidance
for farms, farm emergency planning outreach., and
vulnerability zone calculations for high profile
extremely hazardous substances (with
CAMEO™). Copies of the manual are av lilable
upon request. However, because of the si ze of the
manual, there may be a charge for a hard
copy to
cover the printing cost and postage. It is preferred
that anyone requesting an electronic copy of the
manual provide diskettes on which the manual
may be copied and forwarded.

TERC ENHANCEMENT
The Bad River Band Indian Tribe enhanced the
effectiveness of the TERC and LEPC by conduct-
ing a comprehensive investigation into the tribe's
responsibilities and options in complying with
Title IE requirements. The result was a monthly
newsletter that was produced and distributed to
all tribes in Region V in an effort to share Bad
River's knowledge and experience with others.
The newsletter was also shared with Indian Health
Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and area county
LEPC staff members, all of whom were coopera-
tive and added many helpful suggestions to
improve the tribe's emergency response plan.

and curriculum for inspector training. The
manual has been expanded from the original
version developed under the grant and now
includes guidance for all aspects of the state's
EPCRA Compliance Program. A fourth edition of
the document "Compliance Outreach, Investiga-

TITLE III EDUCATION
This project improved North Dakota's Hazardous
Chemicals Preparedness and Response Program
and assisted the hazardous materials community
with Title in compliance. The state updated and
improved their database of critical facility infor-
mation, developed a management system for the
state's new fee system, provided technical and
administrative assistance to all LEPCs, assisted
reporting facilities, and enhanced outreach to
facility owners to increase compliance. Develop-
ment of the database was conducted in two
phases. In phase one the state reviewed facility
reports, emphasizing Tier n information and
ensuring accuracy of information, and developed
new software to manage the fee system. This
software is available to other states. During phase
two, the 18 larger LEPCs in the state were linked
to the state's database. CAMEO™ software
programs were used to complement computer
support of LEPC activities.
Chemical Safety for Your Community: Grant Products You Can Use / 15
-------
Outreach efforts to support LEPCs and business
and industry were enhanced during all reporting
periods, the state developed a day-to-day system
to provide updated information from the state's
computer files to LEPCs, and developed proce-
dures for the exchange of information between the
state and the LEPC. The state also provided
CAMEO™ training for the larger LEPCs and
conducted a train-the-trainer course to further
CAMEO™ software training. The state also
conducted two special EPCRA training sessions
for member of the five tribal councils in North
Dakota.
The state assisted business and industry by
conducting special training sessions, with empha-
sis placed on Tier II reporting and compliance. An
extensive outreach program was conducted.
Facility owners and operators were sent Tier II
forms, sample completed forms, and additional
EPCRA materials. Industry-specific guidance was
sent to oil production facility owners and opera-
tors. Grant: X81874010, FY1991.

ets, updating the Title in database of
facility information, and sharing this
information with the LEPCs. This

Iowa developed a PC-compatible
database management program
called "Tier2 5.0" to manage
EPCRA Tier II information. "Tier2
5.0" is a PC-compatible database
management program that auto-
mates the submission of Tier II data
for reporting facilities and the
collection and maintenance of data
for local and state agencies. The
software package facilitates data
entry, retrieval, reporting, and data
transfers of Tier II data.
Grant: X818936010, FY1991.
Iowa modified and improved the
software package called "Tier2 5.0".
The updated version was adapted
for a Windows environment and
features improvements including
additional search functions and the
ability to generate more reports.

HIGH RISK AREA ANALYSIS
Florida developed a report designed to make
community members in the Port of Tampa area
more aware of risks from chemical accidents. The
report concentrated on three key facilities with
high levels of anhydrous ammonia. LEPC and
emergency responders reviewed facility-devel-

worst case and worst case releases. Lessons
learned and recommendations from the tabletop
exercise were included in the report and may be

Vermont conducted a statewide hazards analysis
and developed a hazmat database to increase
available information on high risk facilities and

LEPCs used this information to update emergency

federal and state regulations regarding chemical
reporting and planning. The project has limited

Vermont provided hazardous

transportation of hazardous

Information was then incorporated into the
District Hazmat Emergency Plan. This project was

helpful for the community, in that plans and
model hazards analysis were developed. This was
an area of high risk for a chemical accident, which
is why it was chosen for this grant. It is not
