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:

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.

-------
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.

-------
PRELIMINARY LIST OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS AND SYSTEMS OF POTENTIAL USE
UNDER SARA TITLE III
PURPOSE AND INTENDED USE OF THE LIST
This section contains a list of computer software applications and has been assembled as a reference
source to assist local emergency planning committees (LEPCs) and others in locating potentially useful
software applications. 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.
