FOREWORD
This is a compendium of the documents developed for
the State of Wisconsin for its Emergency Episode Program.
Basically there are two types of documents - those which
are required to be filed with the Environmental Protection
Agency in the State's Implementation Plan pursuant to
Section 110(a) (1) of the Clean Air Act and those which the
State can actually use as working man~als in implementing
its program.
These documents, in the order of their
appeara~ce herein, are as follows:

CHAPTER 4
PREVENTION OF AIR POLLUTION EMERGENCY EPISODES
FOR
STATE OF WISCONSIN
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Citation o~"Requirements
Part 420.16 of Title 42 - Public Health (EPA), published i~
the Federal Register of Saturday, A~gust 14, 1971 cites,
in part, the following implementation plan requirements: .
"For the purpose of preventing air pollution.
emergency episodes, each plan for a Priority
I region shall include a contingency plan
which. shall, as a minimum, provide for taking
any emission control actions necessary to
prevent ambient pollutant concentrations at
any location in such region from reaching
levels which would constitute i~~inent and
.substantial endarigerment to the health of
persons, which levels shall be prescribed
by the Administrator. .
Each contingency plan shall (1) specify
two or more stages of episode criteria such
as those set forth in Appendix L to this
part or their equivalent (2) provide for
public announcement whenever any episode
stage has been determined to exist, and
(3) specify emission control actions to be
taken at each episode stage. . ."
The Emergency Action Plan
4 .' 1 . 1
Objective
The objective of the:Wisconsin Emergency Action Plan is
to provide a total mechanism capable of providing
rapid, short-term emissions control to prevent the
accumulation of pollutants to hazardous levels.
T!1e
transient nature of an episode, its sporadic occurence
and the requirement for immediate response to avoid
deleterious effects on the public health and welfare,
-------
4 '0 1. 2
require the implementation of a system to take pre-
planned actions above and beyond the normal day-by-
day activities of Wisconsin air pollution control agencies
at all levels.
.Specifically, the State will cooperatively
establish two (2) Emergency Operations Control Centers
to perform the technical functions required of the
Agency in, the event of'an episode.
.Description
The Wisconsin Emergency Action Plan is composed of the
following.: .
o
. .
Specific regulations for emissions reduction
triggered by measurement criteria based on
health effects from pollutant dosage.
o
Surveillance procedures for the measurement
and rapid transmission of ambient air quality
levels and related meteorological factors as
well as for observation and on-site inspection
of emission sources.
o
Establishment of EOCC's with sufficient technical
manpower and physical resources (communications,
monitoring, etc.) to allow the accumulation and
evaluation of data, determination of episode control
strategy and subsequent implementation of staged
emission reduction plans under the authority of state
or local regulations.
o
Pre-determined emission reduction strategies for
all Priority I Air Quality Control Regions based on
engineering evaluation of the effectiveness of
regulations on quantities of pollutant emissions
currently defined for point and area sources in the
State.
Figure 4-1 presents the episode control procedures in
flow-chart format.
These procedures, numerically keyed

Regulations
4.2.1
Criteria
, -
The ambient levels of pollutants which trigger the
various stages of episode activities and emission
reduction strategies are tabulated in Table 4-1.
The documentation which supports these levels and
their respective impact on human health is as
follows:
o "Air Quality Criteria for ",
Reports AP-49, AP-50, AP-62, AP-63, AP-64, AP-84;
Environmental Protection Agency. -
o "Imminent and Substantial Endangerment-Levels
of Air Pollutants." (To be prescribed by the
Administrator, EPA.)
In most cases, the unit of measurement employed is
an accumulated dose rather than an arithmetic average.
The dose is calculated simply by multiplying the
consecutive hourly average value of a pollutant by
the number of consecutive hours indicated as sample
time.
For example, if for eight consecutive hours
the sulfur dioxide monitored at a specific site.
averaged 0.35 ppm for each hour, the dose would be
equal to 0.35 X 8 or 2.8 ppm-hr. S02'
We favor this
approach since it significantly shortens the averaging
time (by 6-8 hours) required for detecting deterioration

in air quality, thus allowing the Agency to impose
)
emission reduction schemes early in an episode when,
their impact will be maximized.
Description of Curtailment Actions
Episode curtailment actions are of two types --
mandatory and voluntary.
The formulation of the
. mandatory regulations is based in part upon the expected
gains obtained from voluntary reductions by those
sources which are difficult to control from an
. administr~tive standpoint or for which mandatory controls
would inflict significant adverse social impact.
A general summary of the curtailment actions resulting
from the episode regulation is given in Table 4-2.
In order to adequately present an overview of the
regulation, certain voluntary actions are also displayed
in the Table, indicating the areas which are. not
regulated.

4.4
Emission Reduction Strategy
Emission control during emergency conditions must
be carried out pursuant to a preconceived program based
on a regulation.
Two types of emitters are generally
. .
considered in a reduction program--large point sources
which are significant contributors and small individual
sources which are significant only in the aggregate.
For
simplicity, these sources are referr~d to as IIpoint" and
"non-point" sources.
Episode reduction strategies have been developed for
the following air quality control regions in Wisconsin:
1. Duluth-N.W. Wisconsin
2. S.E. Wisconsin
3. Rockford-Beloit
4. Dubuque-S.W. Wisconsin
Strategies for interstate regions involve only those
sources located within Wisconsin's portion of the region.
4.4.1
Sources Defined
Point sources are defined as those operations which
emit 0.25 tons per day or more of any of the Set I or Set
II pollutants.
These sources are required to develop an
emission control action program for each pollutant.
This
program describes the specific actions and resultant
21
-------
reduction in emissions at each stage of the episode.
The
emergency regulation provides basic guidelines for the
development of these plants.
Non-point sources consist of small commercial and
industrial establishments, schools, incinerators, trans-
portation, and the. like.
Since these sources are more
difficult to reduce than tha large sources, they are
subject to broad orders in the event .that critical stages
of the episode are reached.
4~4.2 . Strategy
Each point source must adopt an episode emissions
reduction program in accordance with the State's regulation.
Episode strategies were based on preliminary reduction
programs formulated by the State.
These preliminary
programs also serve as a guide in reviewing the programs
actually submitted by each establishment pursuant to the
episode regulations.
In general, the strategies require
emission reductions at the Alert Level based on a sub-
stantial decrease in production or a fuel switch.
Should
the ~pisode progress to the Warning Level, further production
decreases are required--generally a 30 percent reduction from
the Alert Level.
All operations are terminated at the
22
-------
Emergency Level except as is necessary to protect equipment
and public health.
. .
Individual preliminary episode reduction
programs are on file with the state agency.
The following is a short, step-by-step description
of how emission reductions were estimat~d fo! each stage
of an episode.
These steps apply to each pollutant for
which a region has been designated Priority I~
4.4.2.1
Point Sources ~ Point sources of each pollutant
for which the AQCR is a Priority I region were determined.
Control strategies were developed for each source for
each pollutant in accordance with the regulation.' This
is the emission control action program.
4.4.2.2
Regional Emission Inventory - From a regional
,inventory for each pollutant, emis~ions were grouped into
the following categories:
o Power Generating
o Other Fuel Burning Sources
Industrial
Commercial/Institutional
Processing
Residential
o Incineration.
Municipal
Commercial
Residential
Open Burning
23
-------
o Manufacturing
Continuous
Batch Process
o Motor Vehicles
o Public Transportation
After this had been done, the emissions were converted
to a daily basis to coincide with episode time frames.
Daily emissions were considered evenly spread over the
year for utilities, motor vehicles, and transportation.
All other sources were assumed to operate on a 220-day
year.
4.4.2.3
,
Point source reductions - Point sources were put
into the same categories as described in 4.4.2.2.
The
reductiona in each category were tabulated and compared
with the overall emissions within, the region thereby
determining the percent decrease in emissions.
The
summation of each category then is the total regional
reduction obtained from the point sources.
4.4.2.4
Non-point source reductions - Non-point source
emissions are the difference between total emissions and
point source emissions.
These sources were reduced for
each stage commensurate with the emergency ,regulation.
Percent reduction was determined similar to the method used
for the point sources.
24
-------
4 4.3
Staged Emission Reduction Summaries
Emissions reduction were totaled- for all, sources with-
in the ~tate's portion ,of the various regiqns.
The results
of these strategies are tabulated in Table 4-4' .
Episode
emission inventory forms and tables listing staged reductions
by individual categories are included in Appendix 4 .
,Point
source emission reduction procedures, upon which the point
source strategy ~s bas~d, are also included in Appendix.

State and Local Emergency Operations Control System (EOCC)
4.5.1 Standard Operating Procedures
4.5.1.1 General
The £OCC System serVes as the interface between the policy
and decisionmaking structure of the State and the episode
sit'uation. . It acts as the operational control and comrnunica...
tions point during an episode.
. .
The EOCC System receives air
quality and meteorological information and processes. it into
intellige~ce which serves as the basis for determination of
control strategies best suited to the episode situation.
Control strategies are then implemented through the EOCC
System. The relationship of. the EOCC System, the episode
. '
situation, and the policy and decisionmaking structure is
shown in Figure 4 - 2 .
The Director, Bureau of Air Pollution Control and Solid Waste
Disposal, serves as the Director of the EOCC System upon its
'activation. Authority to activate the system is contained in
the decision of the Director, Environmental Protection Division,
Department of Natural Resources, to initiate air pollution
control procedures.
The EOCC System consists of two major elements:
the Primary State EDCC which normally exercises direct,
control over episodes other than those occuring in the
Southeastern Wisconsin Interstate Air Quality Control
Region, and
the SEWIAQCR EDCC w~ich, under the ge,neral supervision
of the State Primary EDCC, exercises direct control over
episodes occuringin its area of responsibility.

4.5.2 Communications
4.5.2.1 Communications Systems
The effectiveness of an air pollution episode-avoidance plan
depends to a great extent on the availability of a simple,
efficient and reliable means of commun~cations between the
EOCC, air quality monitoring network, emitters, government
officials and the public.
The Dial Access Interci ty Network (DAm) \.,ill be the primary
means of communications during an episode situation.
DAIN
is comprised of dedicated lines which serve the entire state
or Wisconsin plus many out-of-state locations including
Chicago where the EPA, Region V, Office is located, and
Minneapolis, where a National Weather Service Station is
located.
This system can be used for outgoing calls to any
telephone within the state and out of state locations served
by the system. Incoming calls using VAIN can be made only
from other state phones. Therefore, the Primary/Regional
Eoce will have at least one regular telephone line in the
center and have access to others in offices adjacent to
the center ior incoLd.ng calls from non-state telephones. .
Access to DAIN lines 18 almost unlimited; there will be at
least three lines in the Primary/Regional EOee and several
other located in offices throughout the building.
.In case of an emergency where telephone services (DAIN and
regular) are disrupted, the DNR conservation and the
Emergency Government law enforcement networks will serve
as backup systems. Through these networ~s communications
can be maintained with any sheriff's office in the state,
and 3-400 mobile units engaged in conservation work and
with the DNR district offices.
31
-------
4.5.2.2
The State EDCC will have access to a teletype terminal for
Weather Services A and C from- the National Meteorological
Center in Suitland, Maryland. Na~ional Weather Services
from stations within the state and in adjacent states will
be obtained using the DAINor regular telephone lines.
Table 4-6 lists the available means of communications and
the different classifications of contac~s. An estimate is
made of the percentage of time that a specific means will
be used to communicate with a given classification of
contracts. These estimates include both incoming and
outgoing communications.
Communications Procedures
In Wisconsin there are four air quality control regions
having one or more pollutants with a priority I rating.
Communications procedures are outlined, in the following
paragraphs, for each of the four regions.
In the event of an air pollution'episo~e occurring in the
Southeastern Wisconsin Intrastate Air Quality Control Region
(SEWIAQCR) both the primary EDCC in Madison and the Regional
EDCC in Waukesha are activated.
The communications network
in Figure 4-4 shows the division of responsibility between
the primary and Regional EOCC's. Figure 4-2 in section
4.5.1.1 gives the relationship between the primary and
Regional EOCC's, the episode situation, and the policy
and decision maker. .
The primary EDCC exercises direct control over episodes other
than those occurring in the SEWIAQCR.The communications
network will be the same as in Figure 4-4 with the exception
that the primary EDCC will also perform the duties of the
regional EDCC.

-------
4.5.2.3
In all instances the EOee works with and utilizes the full
communications capabilities of existing local air pollution
agencies.
This means that the local agencies are responsible
for directing episode avoidance actions, to the extent of
their ability, for areas under their jurisdiction.
Communications Records
Special forms and sheets are used by the EOCC staff for
recording information pertinent to the episode situation.
All the sheets, forms and instructions necessary for perform-
ing the communications activities of the primary and regional
EOCC are contained in communications manuals on file in each
of the EOee's.
Following below is a list of the special
sheets and forms with a short explanation of each:
Atmospheric Stagnation Advisory Record and Forecast
Declaration Sheet
This sheet is used by the primary EOCe to recQrd Atmospheric
Stagnation Advisories, c~rrent air quality data from the
affected area, and the declaration of a FORECAST stage.
Declaration Sheets
The declaration sheet is used by the primary EOCC when chang-
ing stages during the episode situation.
Meteorological and
air quality data as well as a judgment of the effectiveness of
the abatement actions from the previous state are recorded on
this sheet.
Communications Checklist
There is a set of checklists containing the offices and indi-
viduals that must be contacted from the EOCC (primary or
regional) for each air quality control regibn for which the
EAP is written.
Once the proper set of checklists has been
selected for the affected region, the episode stage is filled
in and all the indicated contracts made.
A checklist must
be completed for each stage of the episode.
38

Air Quality Data Sheet'
Air quality data as ,reporte~ by the monitoring network are
recorded on this sheet.
Field Inspection Record
All communications from field inspectors pertaining to the

l54.Xl
AIR POLLUTION EMERGENCY
This regulation is designed to prevent the excessive
buildup of air pollutants during air pollution episodes,
thereby preventing the occurrence of an emergency due
to the effects of these pollutants on the health of
persons.
l54.X2
EPISODE CRITERIA
Conditions justifying the proclamation of an air
pollution alert, air pollution warning, or air pollution
emergency shall be deemed to exist whenever the Director
determines that the accumulation of air pollutants in any
place is attaining or has attained levels which.could,
if such levels are sustained or exceeded, lead to a
substantial threat to the health of persons. In making
this determination, the Director will be guided by the
following criteria:
(a) "Air Pollution Forecast":. An internal watch by
the Department of Air Pollution Control shall be actuated
by a National Weather Service aavisory that Atmospheric
Stagnation Advisory is in effect or the equivalent local
forecast of. stagnant atmospheric condition.
(b) "Alert": The Alert levei is that concentration of
pollutants at which first stage control actions are to
begin. An Alert will be declared when anyone of the
following levels is reached at any monitoring site:
o The S02 dose is equal to or greater than 2.8 ppm-hr.
(7500 ~g/m3-hr.) for any consecutive 8-hour period in the
preceding 16 hours.
o The particulates dose is equal to or greater than
28 CORs-hr. (3500 ~g/m3-hr.) for any consecutive 8-hour
period in the preceding 16 hours.
o S02 and particulate combined--productof S02' ppm,
24-hour average, and CORs, 24-hour average equal to 0.3

-------
for twelve (12) or more hours or increase unless control
actions are taken.
(d) "Emergency": The emergency level indicates that air
quality is continuing tQ degrade to a level that should
never be reached and that the most stringent control actions
are necessary. An emergency will be declared when anyone
of the following levels is reached at any monitoring site:
o The 502 dose is equal to or greater than 8.0 ppm
(21,500 ~g/m3-hr) for any consecutive 8-hour period in
the preceding 16 hours.
o The particulates dose is equal to or greater than
72 COHs-hr (9000 ~g/m3-hr) for any 8-hour period in the
preceding 16 hours.
o 502 and particulate combined--product of 502 ppm,
24-hour average and CORs, 24-hour average equal to 2.0
or P50duct of 502 ~g/m3, 24-hour average and particulate
~g/m , .24-hour average equal to 650 x 103.
o The CO dose is equal to or greater than 300 ppm-
hr (345 mg/m3-hr) for any consecutive 8-hour period in
the preceding 16 hours.
o The oxidant (03) dose is equal to or greater than
2.0 ppm-hr . (4000 ~g/m3-hr) for any consecutive 4-hour
period in the preceding 8 hours.
o The N02 do~e is equal to or greater than 8.0 ppm-
hr (15,000 ~g/m -hr) for any consecutive 4-hour period
in the preceding 8 hours.
and meteorological conditions are such that this condition
can be expected to continue for twelve (12) or more hours.
(e) "Termination": Once declared, any status reached
by application of these criteria will remain in effect
until the criteria for that level are no longer met. At
such time, the next lower status will be assumed.

EMISSION CONTROL ACTION PROGRAMS
(1) Any person responsible for the operation of a
source of air contaminant which emits 0.25 tons per day
or more of air contaminants for which air standards have
been adopted shall prepare emission control action
programs, consistent with good industrial practice and
safe operating procedures, for reducing the emission of
air contaminants into the outdoor atmosphere during
periods of an AIR POLLUTION ALERT, AIR POLLUTION WARNING,
and AIR POLLUTION EMERGENCY. Emission control action
programs shall be designed to reduce or eliminate emissions
of air contaminants into the outdoor atmosphere in accord-
ance with the objectives set forth in Tables 1-5 which are
made a part of this Section.
)'.
(2) Emission control action programs as required under
Section (1) shall be in .writing and show the source of
air contamination, the approximate amount of reduction of
contaminants, the approximate time required to effect the
program, a brief description of the manner in which the
reduction will be achieved during each stage of an air
pollution episode, and such other information as the
Department shall deem pertinent.
(3) During a condition of AIR POLLUTION ALERT, AIR
POLLUTION WARNING,. and AIR POLLUTION EMERGENCY emission
control action programs as required by Section (1) shall
be made available on the premises to any person authorized
to enforce the provisions of the Department's emergency
procedure.
(4) Emission control actio n programs as required by
Section (1) shall be submitted to the Department upon
request within thirty days of the receipt of such request;
such emission control action programs shall be subject to
review and approval by the Department. If, in the opinion
of the Department, such emission control action programs
do not effectively carry out the objectives as set forth
in Tables 1-5 the Department may disapprove said emission
control action programs, state its reason for disapproval
and order the preparation of amended emission control
action programs within the time period specified
81
-------
in the order. Any person aggrieved by the order requir-
ing the preparation of a revised program is entitled to
a hearing in accordance with Section 144.35 Wisconsin
Statutes. .If the person responsible fails within the
time period specified in the order to submit an amended
emission control action program .which in the opinion of
the Department meets the said objectives, the Department
may revise the emission control action programs to cause
it to meet these objectives. Such revised program will
thereafter be the emission control action program which
. the person responsible will put into effect upon the'
issuance of an appropriate order by the Director.
l54.X4

EPISODE CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS
There are, at present, four air quality, control regions within
the s~ate having one or more air pollutants with a priority I rating.
This manual specifies the communications, to be carried out by the
state EOCC in the event of an air pollution episode in any of the
four regions.
This communications manual is written such as to be consistent
with the belief express'ed by the EOCC, EPA, Durham, North Carolina
that "air pollution episode-avoidance actions should be taken at
the lowest level that is legally, technically, arid politically
competent" .
In all instances the state/regional EOCC works with
and utilizes the full capabilities of existing local air pollution
agencies.
Table I lists the available methods of communications with an
estimate of the percentage of time that a given method will be used
for a particular classification of contacts.
These estimates are
for both incoming and outgoing communications.
An example of the division of communications responsiblity
between the State EOCC and the Southeast Region EOCC, for an episode
situation in the SEWIAQCR, is given in Figure 1.
The State EOCC
alone directs the episode-avoidance actions in the other three regions.
Since a geat deal of the communications activities will ,be concerned
with meteorological and air quality data, Figure 2 is included to
indicate the direction of flow of these data in the SEWIAQCR.
Again,
for the other three regions all data will flow directly into and out
of the State EOCC.

Air Quality and Meteorological Data Flow During an Episode Situation
in the SEWIAQCR.
-------
Special forms and sheets to be used by the EOCC during an air
pollution episode are contained in this manual.
A generous supply
of these forms should be maintained in the EOCC.
The use of each
form is explained in the following parag~aphs.
Atomospheric Stagnation Advisory Record and Forecast Declaration Sheet
This form is designed for recording all pertinent information on
Atmospheric Stagnation Advisories received by the EOCC.
It also
provides for recording the most recent air quality data from the
affected areas within the state.
This information should be used
by the EOCC personnel when requesting approval for entering into a
Forecast stage.
If a Forecast is not declared this form is discontinued
and filed.
If a Forecast is declared, continue by preparing the
declaration statement and posting this sheet on the EOCC status board.
Declaration Sheet
For each. stage of the episode there is a Declaration Sheet.
The
sheet is filled out by the EOCC coordinator and contains concise
information on the air quality, the affected areas, and the meteoro-
logical conditions.
The declaration statement should contain the
information necessary for filling in the blanks on the prepared
statements for release to the news media, health agencies, etc.
The Declaration Sheet is posted on the EOCC status board.
If
a higher or lower episode stage or an all clear is declared, the
final entry is made on the current Declaration Sheet.
It is removed
from display and filed in the Episode Logbook and a new Declaration
Sheet is posted in its place.
97
-------
Communications Checklist
There are communications checklists containing the offices and
individuals to be contacted from the EDCC for each air quality control
region for which the Emergency Action plan is written.
There is a
checklist for each stage of the episode.
I.
I.
If during the progress of an episode it becomes necessary to make
,Of; .
contacts other than those on the checklist they should be recorded
"
at the bottom of the checklist.
The telephone directory lists tele-
phone numbers of some offices and individuals not on the checklist
but that the EDCC may need to contact during an episode situation.
Air Quality Data Sheet
Air Quality data received from the monitoring network and judged
by the EDCC to be of significance to the episode situation are
recorded on this sheet.
This data should include but not necessarily
be limited to:
(1) readings equal to or greater than the criteria
for entering the next higher episode stage, (2) data showing a
significant change in pollutant levels from the last reporting
period, and (3) data from a sufficient number of stations to allow
for an overall evaluation of the situation.
The air quality data sheet should be posted on the EDCC status
board throughout the duration of the episode.
The sheet is filed in
the Episode Logbook upon termination of the alert.
Abatement Action Record
Once an abatement action plan has been selected, this sheet is
used to record all contacts made with emission sources from the state
EDCC.
This form is also used by local air pollution agencies and the
93
-------
regional EDCC t? record their abatement actions and periodically, as
requested, telephone this information to the state EDCC.
This form is posted on the EDCC status board for the duration of
the episode.
It is filed in the Episode,Logbook upon termination of the
alert.
Field Inspection Record
Communications with field inspectors are recorded on this form.
Inspection information is called in by local air pollution agencies,
the regional EDee, or federal/state inspectors.
The Field Inspection
Record is posted on the EDCC status board throughout the episode situation
and filed in the Episode Logbook upon termination of the alert.
Prepared Statements
There are prepared statements for release to the news media, public
officials, and agencies as the situation dictates.
In some cases these
statements will be released from the EDCC, in other cases they should
be released through the local air pollution agency, or through local
government officials such as the county executive or mayor.
How the
statements are released will depend on the severity of the episode and
whether it is highly localized or widespread.
The blanks in the prepared statement are filled in with information
from the Declaration Sheets.
Episode Logbook
All of the above records form a part of the permanent record of the
EDCC.
They are the objective evidence of actions taken during the course
of an episode.
99
-------
Entries are made whenever poor air quality data are reported or
whenever an Atmospheric Stagnation Advisory is received.
Whenever a
. .
. .
FORECAST is declared, the Episode- Logbook becomes a full-time log, and
all significant developments are noted in it.
After the episode is over and all the records have been placed in the
Episode Logbook, it can serve, along with the logbook from the district
EOCC, as the primary source for analysis of the episode and the effective-
. .
ness of abatement strategies.-

EPISODE CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS
This manual contains detailed information on the communications to
be carried out by the Southeast Wisconsin Intrastate Air Quality Control
Region (SEWIAQCR) EOCC during the progress of an air pollution episode.
This communications manual is written such as to be consistent with the
belief expressed by the Air Pollution Control Office, EPA, that "air pollu-
tion episode-avoidance actions should be taken at the lowest level that is
legally, technically, and politically competent".
For reasons of economy, simplicity, and availability the DAIN system
has been chosen as the primary means of communications.
A regular telephone
line will be maintained in the center for incoming calls from non-government
. telephones.
The DNR Conservation and the Division of Emergency Government
law enforcement networks will serve as backup systems in cases where tele-
phone sevrice is disrupted.
Table I lists the available methods of communications along with an
estimate of the percentage of time that a given method will be used for
a particular classification of contacts.
These estimates are for both
incoming and outgoing communications.
Figure 1 gives a general idea of the communications network configuration
for an episode alert in theSEWIAQCR.
Since most of the communications
will be concerned with receiving or forwarding air quality and meteorological
data, Figure 2 is included to show the general direction of flow of these
data in the communications network.
This manual contains the necessary forms and sheets for perfol~ing
and recording the communications of the regional EOCC.
The forms and sheets
are described in the following paragraphs.

Air Quality Data Sheet
During an episode si.tuation all local air quality monitoring units
in the region will report directly by telephone to the regional EDCC.
All data deemed pertinent to the episode situation are to be recorded on
this sheet and communicated to the state EDCC.
The monitoring network
units should also continue to record their data in the normal fashion.
For examplet state monitoring sites continue to forward their data to
Madison and County ag~ncies continue keeping their own records.
Communications Checklists
For each episode stage there is a communications checklist.
Each
contact on the checklist is to be contacted from the Regional EDCC.
Each
contact will be informed of the latest developments in the air pollution
episode and will be instructed in its duties/responsibilities during this
stage of the episode.
Further exchanges of information are indicated
where appropriate.
The. person making the contact indicates the time of the call on the
checklist and enters his initials next to it.
If the listed contact is
not available, cross out his name and write the name of the individual
receiving the communications.
The telephone directory, included in the
manual, lists additional contacts that may need to be made from the regional
EDCC during an episode alert.
Record these additional contacts at the
bottom of the checklist.
When all contacts have been completed, the checklist is filed in the
Regional Ep.isode Logbook.

Abatement Action Record
Once an abatement action plan has been selected, this sheet is used
to record all contacts made with emission sources from the regional Encc.
This form should also be used by lo~al air pollution agen~ies to record
their abatement actions and periodi(::ally, as requested by the regional
Eoce, communicate this information by telephone to the regional 20CC.
The regional EOee will, in turn, keep the primary EOCC infonned 011 the
contents of this form.
This form should be posted on the status board for the duration of
the episode.
It is filed in the Episode LogboQk upon termination of the
alert.
Field Inspection Record
An inspection report is completed by the inspector (federal, state,
local) fOL eacD source inspected.
This information is reported to the
regional EOCC through the proper local .'11 r pollution agency or if liO agency
exists the inspectors report directly to the regional EOCC.
All communi.-
cations with field inspectors are recorded on this form.
The state EOCC
is
upciated periodically on the contents of this form.
The Field Inspection Record is posted on the status board during the
alert and filed in the logbook upon termination of the episode alert.
..fu2.isode Logbook
All forms and sheets are filed in the Regional Episode Logbook.
At
the conclusion of the episode situation chis logbook is forwarded to the
state office in Nadison to become a part of the state EOee' s Episode
Logbook.
These logbooks will be used to aid in the analysis of the episo(;(~
and the effec~iveness of abatement strategies.

Standard Operating Procedure for the State of Wisconsin Air Pollution Episode
Emergency Operations Control Center System
1.
GENERAL
A.
Authorization
Authority to activate the State Emergency Operations Control Center
(EOCC) System is containe~ in the decision of the SecretarYt Department
of Natural Resources (hereinafter referred to as the Secretary) to initiate
air pollution ~ontrol procedures whenever air quality and meterological
conditions indicate the need for control actions in the form of abatement
measures.
The Directort Bureau of Air Pollution Control a~d Solid Waste
Disposal, will serve as the Director of the EOCe System upon its acti-
vation.
B.
Purpose of the EOCe Syste~
The EOCe System is designed to serve as the interface between the
policy and decisionmaking structure of the State and the episode situation.
The EOCC System receives air quality and meteorological informatio~ and
converts it into intelligence.
In addition the System serves a~1 the
communications and control center for the implementation of abatement
strategies and procedures.
The relationship of the EOCC Systemt the episode
situation, and the Secretary is shown in Figure 1.
The EOCC System consists
of the State Primary EOCC and one or more Regional EOCCs.
Decision as to
the activation and number of Regional EOCCs to be activated will be made
by the Director for each episode or inciuent.
Since the Southeastern \~isconsin Intrastate ~ir Quality Control Regio~
(see Figure 2) is the only area in the State within which an emergency of
extremely high build-up of pollutants might be expected this SOP will
emphasize the activation of the State Primary EOCe and the Southeast Region
Eoee only.
Incidents in the other Air Quality Control Regions wil~ normally
be co~trolled from the State Primary EOeC.
C.
.Organization
During normal operations EOCC functions are carried out in the normal
place of business, i.e. the Bureau of Air Pollution Control and Solid
Waste Disposal for the State and the various Regional offices for the
Regions.
Upon activation during air pollution episodes the EOCe System will
be satellited on and be collocated with the Division of Emergency Government

D.
Air Pollution Emergency
The purpose of the State Regulation for prevention of aiJ pollution
emergency episodes is to prevent the buildup of excessive air pollutants
during air pollution episodes, thereby preventing the occurrence of an
emergency due to the effects of these pollutants on the health of persons.
Abatement actions TIlay be authorized by the Secretary when he determines
that Air Pollution Emergency Episode conditions exist at one or more
monitoring sites solely because of emissions from a limited number of
sources.
The action taken should be the minimum required to preclude health
damage to the population of the affected area.
Normally Air Pollution Episode conditions will proceed through a series
of stages which usually determine the level of control required.
Episode
stages and general statements as to associated pollutant levels are shown
in Table 1. Detailed pollutant ~riteria for each episode stage are con-
tained in Table 1 ~ Master Checklist which accompanies this SOP. The Air
Pollution Forecast stage is entered automatically upon the issuance of
an atmosphere stagnation advisory effecting the state.
entered when declaration is made by the Secretary.

Abatement strategies appropriate to the various episode stage are
contained in paragraph 4.4 of the Implementation Plan.
E.
Level of Activation
Level of activation of the EOee System is dictated by the episode
stage jn effect. Decision to implement Regional EOCe(s) is based on a
determination whether the episode can be controlled better from the Regional
Eoee of the State Primary EOee.
Three levels of activation are required.
These are shown in Table 2.
These levels are intended as guides only.
Decision to fully activate the
Eoee System during Alert, Warning, and Emergency stage will be made by
the Director, EOee System, based on the condition extant at the time.

MASTER CHECKLIST
AN OPERATIONAL GUIDE
FOR
AIR POLLUTION EPISODES
171
-------
INSTRUCTION SHEET
This Master Checklist is to be used by the State of Wisconsin Primary Emergency Operations
Control Center (EOCC) and Regional EOCC(s)t when activated, as an operational guide in the event of an air
pollution episode. Where applicable the Master Checklist also outlines the decision-making cycle for the
Director, Environmental Protection Division, in determining when to declare that an episode stage is in effect.
This Checklist is intended to be used with the Standard Operating Procedure and Communications Manual for the
EOCC System.
The Master Checklist is subdivided into six sections identified by tabs as follows:
NO&~ PROCEDURES which cover actions vertinent to episode control during periods
air pollutant concentrations and atmospheric conditions are such that they do not
constitute a substantial threat to the health of persons.
FORECAST PROCEDURES which cover actions pertinent to episode control once an "Air
Pollution Forecast" has been declared.
when
ALERT PROCEDURES .which cover actions pertinent to episode control once an "Alert" has
been declared.
......
"
N
WARNING PROCEDURES which cover actions pertinent to episode control once a "Warning"
has been declared.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES which cover actions pertinent to episode control once an
"Emergency" has been declared.
SPECIAL OPERATIONS which cover actions common to more than one episode stage.
Entrance to the Master Checklist is normally through NORMAL OPERATIONS.
other portions as required by events.
Each section exhibits triggering events appropriate to the contingencies covered by the particular section.
The events are shown at the head and foot of each page. The lower edge of each page should be cut along the
dotted line so that triggering events appropriate to a given situation are in full view. These are the signi-
ficant events for which preplanned actions are contained in the Checklist and to which the user must be alert.
The user is automatically directed to
The events displayed on any given page are those associated with response action. Upon occurrence of one
of these events, the user should flip the covering pages up, exposing the checklist of actions keyed to the
event that has occurred.
Some of the actions direct the user to another section of the Checklist. . Upon such direction the user
should flip up the tab of the appropriate section and proceed as indicated.
Actions may be of three types: automatic, conditionalt or discretionary. Automatic actions will be taken
automatically in response to the triggering event. Where such actions occur consecutively the execution of
the prior action is the triggering event for the following. Conditional actions become automatic actions when
the condition given in the action is satisfied. Discretiona~y actions require a judgment or decision at the
time of a triggering event. Discretionary actions involve a choice of alternative actions associated with a
decisib"n-making process.
