United States; . Oflice of Solid Waste September 1989 Environmental Protection and Emergency Response OSWER-89-005 Agency (OS-120) Series 5 &ER& Computer Systems for Chemical Emergency Planning Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Technical Assistance Bulletin #5 ------- ABOUT THIS BULLETIN EPA is issuing this bulletin to assist local planners with identifying computer systems applicable to Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (also referred to as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act). The purpose of this bulletin is to provide Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs), State Emergency Response Commissions (SERCs), fire departments, and other local planners with a checklist of computer system needs and information on available systems already identified as applicable to local planning. The first section of this bulletin is an edited version of Appendix K of the Technical Guidance for Hazards Analysis. This appendix is entitled "Evaluation Guide for Available Computer Applications Addressing Emergency Response Planning." The second section of this bulletin is entitled "Preliminary List of Computer Applications and Systems of Potential Use Under SARA Tide III" and contains a list of computer systems applicable to local planning. The list is not anticipated to be fully comprehensive of the environmental computer systems market nor is it intended to act as an endorsement for any of the listed systems. The list is only intended to serve an initial reference source. Vendor names, addresses, and phone numbers have been provided: it is essential that the vendor be contacted to obtain current cost, capability, availability, and limitation information for any system of interest. Updates to the evaluation guide and list of computer applications will be made periodically. If you have information relevant to future updates, please send the information to: Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office Environmental Protection Agency Attn: Software List OS-120 401 M Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460 ------- APPENDIX K OF THE TECHNICAL GUIDANCE FOR HAZARDS ANALYSIS EVALUATION GUIDE FOR AVAILABLE COMPUTER APPLICATIONS ADDRESSING EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING PURPOSE OF THIS CHECKLIST This appendix contains a checklist of criteria developed to help local emergency planning committees (LEPCs), or other groups considering purchasing software, to identify computerized applications to assist in emergency response planning as outlined in the chapters of the Technical Guidance for Hazards Analysis. The checklist identifies many of the ways that software applications can be of assistance. The priorities and needs of the local planning district will dictate which criteria are to be considered and may require development of additional criteria. SOURCES OF INFORMATION USED TO DEVELOP THE CHECKLIST The checklist criteria were developed from information in the National Response Team's Hazardous Materials Emergency Planning Guide (NRT-1) and the T>.rhr»cal Guidance for Hazards Analysis. NRT-1 was designed to help local communities respond to potential incidents involving hazardous materials. The Technical Guidance for Hazards Analysis supplements NRT-1 by identifying the facility and transportation route information necessary for hazards analysis and emergency planning, providing guidelines for determining vulnerable zones, and outlining the process for analyzing risks. Understanding the planning processes described in these documents and how the information being assembled will be used is a prerequisite for determining which computer application will best address the specific set of needs involved. STRUCTURE OF THE CHECKLIST Section 1. Provides a checklist for evaluating the computer hardware (equipment) and additional software (programs) required to operate the system. The flexibility and ease of use of the system and the availability of training and other types of vendor support are also addressed. The next sections of the checklist are based on the structure of the TftpJiniral Guidance for Hazards Analysis, and include: Section 2. Hazards Identification (assembling facility, transportation route, and chemical data); Section 3. Vulnerability Analysis (modeling of releases); Section 4. Risk Analysis (ranking of hazards); and Section 5. Emergency Response Planning (assembling hazards, vulnerability analysis, and risk analysis information). Section 6. Regulatory Requirements. This section describes a few of the ways that a software application can explain the requirements under Title in and assist in compliance with requirements, such as tracking deadlines and responding to requests for information. National Response Team, Hazardous Material} F-mergencv Pl^nniny Guide. NRT-1 (March 1987). 1 ------- NOTE: This checklist highlights some important user costs to be considered, however the total system cost is difficult to represent. Some software applications may require the purchase of specialized hardware or additional software from other manufacturers. Vendors may include fees for tailoring of the software application to meet a user's needs in the original price. Training, manuals, technical support services, additional data entry, software updates, and additional copies of the software may be included or may need to be purchased separately. In addition to the initial purchase costs of the application, the long-term investment required to install, maintain, and operate the full working system must be considered. Such costs will include: assembling the required data; validating and entering the data; training new personnel; purchasing updated software; and correcting and amending the data as changes occur. These costs will apply to some extent to any application purchased. Assistance in estimating some of these costs may be available from data processing professionals within the State government or from computer- oriented firms located within the district. SUGGESTED PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATING EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS The suggested procedure for LEPCs to use the checklist is as follows: 1. Identify the local district's need to manage emergency response planning information under NRT-1 and the Technical Guidance for Hazards Analysis. Understanding how the information is to be used in the planning process is an essential first step to focusing the evaluation on the needs. 2. Select the criteria on the checklist that most closely represent the local district's needs and priorities for emergency response planning. It is not expected that all criteria listed will apply. 3. Develop any additional criteria required to address local needs and priorities (e.g., consistency with the type of computer equipment that is already available). 4. Rank the criteria according to levels of importance (e.g., must be met, would be valuable, can be delayed). 5. Identify vendors and their emergency response software from the available literature, advertising, and other sources. An initial list of commercial software applications is included in the second section of this technical assistance bulletin. 6. Request information from the vendors (e.g., sales literature, demonstration software, cost information, and current users of the application who can be contacted as references). 7. Review the information and complete a checklist for each software application. 8. Contact vendors to request any additional information and to clarify data on the applications that seem best suited to the need. CAUTIONS: An evaluation must include the specific priorities and needs of the individual jurisdiction. Any comparison of the cost of computer applications requires the assessment of many factors in addition to the purchase price identified by the vendor. (See note above for a detailed discussion of costs.) Computer systems are continually being modified and refined. The results of the evaluation will become out-of-date and should be repeated if the purchase of a system is delayed. ------- CRITERIA FOR THE REVIEW OF COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING COMPUTER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (Hardware, Software, Support, Etc.) Objective: Provide a basis to evaluate the functional capabilities, design limitations, and operational requirements of the system, and to evaluate the vendor's ability and willingness to support the system.

Some vendors limit the ability to make copies of the software and require copies to be purchased for each user. Tests data against valid ranges (e.g., pH<14) or lists of acceptable data (e.g., chemical names). Data can be identified by other than preset criteria such as through a menu (e.g., user defined searches). Chemical data content is current and generally accepted by science and health agencies such as EPA, OSHA, NIH, NOAA, U.S. Coast Guard, DOT, and others; cost and timeliness of updates should be considered. User can specify data to be included, physical layout, and headings for columns of data. System can communicate with other systems (e.g., Lotus, dBASE, ASCII, and DIP data formats; Macintosh and IBM equipment). Vendors may provide names of current users of the system who would be willing to discuss their experience. New capabilities that are compatible with the current system may be added. If this type of service is available, a maintenance and support fee will probably be charged. ------- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Objective: Provide information on the identity, quantity, location, physical properties, and toxicity of chemicals at sites within the planning district.

The list includes systems identified from readily available information sources. The principal intent is to identify software that is applicable to the information collection, data management, reporting, planning, or scheduling requirements of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). The following list of categories was used in evaluating each of the systems on Table I (* on the category list indicates that the category addresses an area of concentration applicable for meeting the requirements of Title III): * Emergency Response Planning Information (e.g., hazardous materials and facilities: locations, characteristics, training); * Air Dispersion Modeling (e.g., releases; gas clouds); Other Environmental Modeling (e.g., water; groundwater; chemical properties); * Facility Environmental Monitoring and Other Chemical and Waste Data (e.g., monitoring data; schedules); * Facility Chemical or Waste Recordkeeping, Reporting, and Compliance Assistance (e.g., manifests, labels, report generation); * Treatment/Pretreatment Assistance (e.g., recordkeeping); Facility or Treatment System Design Assistance; * Cleanup Assistance; Facility Maintenance and Equipment Monitoring and Repair; Facility Permit Applications Assistance (e.g., NPDES, RCRA Part B); Facility Operations and Management Assistance (e.g., budget keeping, management records); * Chemical and Properties Reference Source (e.g., MSDS information); * Regulatory Reference Data Source; * Federal/State Information Source (e.g., historical accident records). The PURPOSE/DESCRmiON/REQUIREMENTS column of Table I provides information about each system pertaining to these areas of apparent concentration. Within Table I, systems that are double asterisked (**) possess an apparent high degree of usefulness for SARA Title in planning, however this does not indicate any endorsement of the system's ability. The vendor should be contacted to determine the extent to which the system addresses specific needs and to verify the system's capabilities. 12 ------- The names or acronyms given to many applications are not easily recognized for the applications' ability to meet a particular need. The list therefore includes several types of systems that have no direct applicability to SARA requirements (e.g., wastewater treatment plant optimization; assistance with ordering chemicals). The creation of a comprehensive list of environmental applications provides a higher level of assurance that software that is relevant to Title III has not been overlooked. The list can also be used to eliminate systems from the review process and reduce the effort needed to identify a system that has the required capabilities. SOURCES OF INFORMATION USED TO ASSEMBLE LIST The list data were collected from a variety of sources, including: • Published articles, as identified at the end of the list; ^ • Vendors sales literature, advertisements, and promotions; and • Accumulated professional knowledge and expertise concerning the systems that have been developed. Professional areas of expertise that were investigated included: • Emergency response (including fire department) actions and planning; • Occupational Safety and Health data management; • Chemical information reference sources; • Facility environmental data management and reporting; and • Regulatory compliance reporting and data sources. LIMITATIONS ON INFORMATION QUALITY AND CURRENTNESS There are many limitations to assembling this type of list. Among the limitations that must be taken into consideration when the information in the list is used are the following: 1. The information provided to develop the list may be out-of-date. Changes to environmental computer applications occur rapidly, therefore, the list cannot remain current. New systems are being developed, vendors move or go out of business, and identified systems are being updated, sold to other vendors, tailored to new markets, or discontinued. 2. System descriptions are not intended to be comprehensive. The Purpose/Description/Requirements column of the table is provided only as a first indicator of some of the application's capabilities and to assist with modifying criteria that could eliminate the system from further review (e.g., hardware requirements). 3. Systems listed are not endorsed or approved bv EPA. Much of the information regarding application capabilities has been taken directly from vendor sales literature or third party reviews. The information recounted has not been extensively verified or validated due to time constraints. 13 ------- IMPORTANT; Vendor contact information, including addresses and phone numbers, is provided for all systems and has been validated to the extent possible. It is essential to contact the vendor to obtain current cost, capability, availability, and limitation information for any systems of interest. The list is only intended as an initial reference source. Purchase of a system should not be based on the information provided in the list. 14 ------- TABLE I PRELIMINARY LIST OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS AND SYSTEMS OF POTENTIAL USE UNDER SARA TITLE HI ACRONYM/ABBREVIATION SYSTEM NAME VENDOR CONTACT ADDRESS/PHONE I'URPOSF./DRSCRIPTlON/RnQUIRRMRNTS ACAPP ACT ADPM AIRDAS AMINE-1 ANASOFT APE Aqueous Chemical and Physical Properties I'.S.
