 YOUR LEPC
 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.

                         PROGRAM

                         Kansas developed a chemical safety management
                         program for five pilot counties that traditionally
                         face the most serious risks of chemical releases.
                         The program enhanced LEPCs effectiveness by
                         Improving emergency planning and prevention
                         iff orts and formulating a common risk assessment
                         jnethodology. The product is partially transferable
                         to other states and is available on request.

 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.

areas vulnerable to hazardous transportation
incidents.  The state developed a half-day work-
shop for LEPCs and others interested in conduct-
ing a commodity flow study and using the infor-
mation developed in emergency response plan-

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.

COMPLIANCE PROGRAM

South Dakota was awarded a Title HI
technical assistance grant with the
aim of increasing the rate of compli-
ance with Title HI in the state. The
grant helped the state lay a founda-
tion on which to build its Title n
program. Tasks undertaken included
designing packets for compliance
strategies for the LEPCs and provid-
ing assistance about using the pack-
ets, updating the Title in database of
facility information, and sharing this
information with the LEPCs. This
project has been informally shared
with other states and LEPCs.

MENT IMPROVEMENTS

Delaware enhanced the information management
capability of the SERC and LEPCs by implement-
ing key recommendations of a SERC-commis-
sioned study of Title in data management prac-
tices in the state. The project's four major steps
included: (1) cleaning up the current data files to
eliminate errors; (2) ensuring the completeness of
existing data by identifying covered facilities that
are currently not in compliance; (3) establishing
data entry procedures; and (4) loading existing
data into a centrally located CAMEO-H™ DOS
system that is easily accessible by the LEPCs and
various state agencies with Title HI responsibili-
ties. Grant:  X817721010, FY1990.

HAZMAT PLANNING AND
RESPONSE INFORMATION

Vermont provided hazardous
materials planning and
response information on the
transportation of hazardous
materials to first responders
and local government offi-
cials of the 9th local emer-
gency planning district.
Information was then incorporated into the
District Hazmat Emergency Plan. This project was
specific to the community involved. It was very
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
transferable to other communities, but may be
helpful to the surrounding area.

                          HAZMAT TRANSPORTATION PLANNING

                          The Umatilla Tribe developed a risk analysis of
                          hazmat being transported through the Reserva-
                          tion. The finished document has been used to
                          help set priorities for the tribal Government on
                          dealing with hazardous materials, for example,
                          safe parking during inclement weather. The
                          product could be used by other tribes as a guide to
                          produce their own risk assessment, but could not
                          be used directly without some modifications.

Tennessee provided a profile of actual and poten-
tial hazardous materials problems in the state by
designing a comprehensive analysis system to
identify the components required to support
hazard identification, risk analysis, and the
evaluation of emergency response coverage. A
geographic information system (GIS) was used to
identify the location of fixed facility sites and
transportation routes. Tennessee reports that this
grant was very successful and that the technology
can be shared with other SERCs.

UNITED STATES/CANADIAN BORDER

ENHANCEMENT

Vermont improved the commxmication link
between U.S. and Canadian border representatives
by providing training on CAMEO™, ALOHA™,
arid funding issues. Representatives from, both
sides of the border also attended a joint hazardous
materials exercise in Quebec as part of the border
enhancement project. LEPCs on the Vermont/
Quebec border also received project funds for
hazardous materials emergency planning. The
products from this grant are not useful to other
areas; however, because the project allowed
responders from the U.S. and Canada to work
together, the communication link between the two
countries has improved remarkably.
Grant:  CX822552010, FY1993.
