BLACK HILLS PLATING AND POLISHING, LLC

On September 6, 2019 the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)
requested the U.S. EPA Removal Program to address plating shop chemical wastes discovered on residential
property. DENR requested EPA to assess, cleanup and dispose of the stockpiled chemical waste and
equipment due to concerns that some had visible signs of leaking and water intrusion, presenting an
immediate risk to nearby residents and the environment.

Black Hills Plating and Polishing, LLC
ceased operations in 2014. The business
owner moved equipment and chemical waste
to a storage garage on a residential property
in the Ashland Heights neighborhood
approximately six miles outside of Rapid
City. This neighborhood consists of mixed
residential, commercial and agricultural
properties, and has a population of
approximately 800 people. Young children
were observed actively playing on adjacent
properties, within 100 feet of items of
concern (process tanks). The chemical waste
was stored in containers of various sizes and
conditions since 2015 in one of two garages
located on the 2.5-acre site. Additionally,
there were numerous process tanks ranging
in size from 200 - 1000 gallons stored
outside and behind the garages, exposed to
the elements. The tanks were indicated to be empty but, after inspection, most were found to contain standing
water and process residues.

Two EPA Region 8 On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs) mobilized to the site on September 16, 2019, along with
START and ERRS contractors. The EPA team and contractors met on site with the property and waste
owners to walk the site and discuss the plan and logistics. The EPA team and contractors went on to perform
assessment, characterization and stabilization of the chemical waste. Waste chemicals from the assessment

included: sulfuric acid (93% solution), sodium cyanide,
sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, hexavalent chromate
solutions and many unknowns. These compounds present
significant and serious health risks to both humans and
animals, and routes of exposure include respiratory, ingestion
or direct contact.

All chemical wastes in the 69 waste dnims and containers
were stabilized and secured in a temporary staging area on
site. EPA arranged for the off-site disposal of the containers
by the end of October 2019. Liquids from the 13
electroplating tanks were filtered for on-site treatment. The
process tanks were sent off-site for disposal.

OSC Valeriy Bizyayev, who was with the
project for the duration says, "The project
was a great example of how EPA can
quickly address threats and work with states
to accomplish our shared mission of
protection of human health and the
environment."

OSC Todd DeGarmo added "I take a lot of
pride and get a good deal of personal
satisfaction to have a job where we can
quickly remedy a situation that presents
health hazards to families and wildlife and
walk away knowing you made a big
difference."

America's Water Infrastructure Act, Section 2018

On December 2, 2020, staff from the EPA
Region 8 Drinking Water Program and
Emergency Preparedness Program in
conjunction with EPA Headquarters' Water
Security Division (WSD) hosted an all-day
workshop on release reporting requirements and
chemical data availability to protect drinking
water supplies. The virtual workshop provided
an opportunity to discuss the implementation of
the America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA)

Section 2018 amendments to the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
(EPCRA) and their impacts on emergency
release notifications and hazardous chemical
data availability for Community Water Systems
(CWS). In addition to presentations on the new regulation, there was an opportunity to hold state-specific
break-out groups and roundtable discussions on how implementation might look in the various states.
Participants included Region 8 State Emergency Response Commissions, Tribal Emergency Response
Commissions, Tier II implementation staff from various states, and Region 8 drinking water program
directors. For more information, please contact Bre Bockstahler at bockstahler.breann@epa.gov or Kyle St.
Clair in the Drinking Water Program at stclair.kvle@epa.gov.

Local Haz Mat Response Campbell County Wyoming

When a semi with enclosed trailer tipped over on 1-90 in Campbell County on August 23rd of
2020, Wyoming Regional Emergency Response Team (RERT) #1 was activated and spent 12
hours on scene with multiple Level A and B suit entries. The truck was carrying 20,736 lbs of
hazardous materials, a mixed load containing hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sodium
hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, heptane, potassium carbonate, sodium metasilicate, and various
other chemicals. A section of 1-90 was closed for over 24 hours to facilitate the response and
cleanup efforts. Ambient air temperature in 90's made suit entries even more difficult for

responders.

In a separate incident on October 26, 2020, an R717 ammonia
(A refrigerant grade ammonia (NH3) used in low and medium
temperature refrigeration) leak occurred at an indoor ice arena
at a multi-events center. The ammonia is used in the
refrigeration process to keep the ice frozen. Campbell County
Fire Department Haz-Mat Team conducted a Level A suit
entry to ventilate the
mechanical room and isolate
the leak. A failed rubber seal
is believed to be the cause of
the leak. Over 1,500 ppm of
ammonia was reported on
arrival of first units.

Anhydrous ammonia is used
as a refrigerant in
mechanical compression systems at a large number of
industrial facilities and is a toxic gas under ambient
conditions. Many parts of a refrigeration system contain
ammonia liquefied under pressure. Releases of ammonia have
the potential for harmful effects on workers and the public. If
the ammoni a is under pressure, risk of exposure increases
since larger quantities of the refrigerant have the potential for
rapid release into the air.

Data Manager, a desktop
program for managing
data about chemicals
stored or transported in
communities, especially
data required under the
Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-

Page 5

CAMEO Data Manager replaces CAMEOfm, a software tool designed and maintained in
partnership with EPA since the early 2000s. For decades, emergency responders and planners
have used CAMEOfm and the other programs in the CAMEO software suite to understand and
manage hazardous chemical information. State and local agencies across the nation use
CAMEO suite tools to help plan for and avoid chemical accidents, and mitigate the risks from
hazardous chemicals when accidents do occur.

The totally redesigned CAMEO Data Manager tool offers many new features, such as:

•	A redesigned navigation, which mirrors Tier2 Submit

•	A m ap to vi sual i ze a record' s 1 ocati on

•	The ability to visualize special locations and other points of interest in proximity to your
Tier II facilities

•	A responder-friendly view for emergency response

•	The ability to compare Tier II reports across report years in order to see what's changed
or if reports are missing

•	A contact CSV reports to aid in email and phone outreach

•	A chemical CSV reports to aid in data analysis

•	The ability to edit records as a group

•	The ability to export files divided by field values

•	The ability to export PDF files sorted by fields

•	Updated help topics, explaining how to navigate the program and use the new features

CAMEO Data Manager will still accept files created in Tier2 Submit, CAMEOfm, and
CAMEO Data Manager. Encourage your reporters to download Tier2 Submit 2020 (check out
the tutorial if they need guidance on filling out their Tier II forms) and get an early start on their
Tier II reporting, and download CAMEO Data Manager yourself!

Use of Chemical Countermeasures

The first line of defense in cleaning up oil spills on surface wa-
ters consists of mechanical countermeasures such as booms and
skimmers. However, when the limitations of mechanical
measures are met and oil threatens the public welfare or the envi-
ronment, other response techniques and technologies, such as
chemical or biological countermeasures, including dispersants,
may be considered.

Use of chemical and biological countermeasures in navigable waterways must get site-specific
approval, per the requirements under the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Con-
tingency Plan (NCP). In most cases, the Federal On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) must first obtain
concurrence of the incident-specific EPA representative to the Regional Response Team (RRT)
and, as appropriate, the RRT representatives from the state(s) with jurisdiction over the naviga-
ble waters threatened by the release or discharge, and as practicable, in consultation with the De-
partment of Commerce and Department of the Interior, as natural resource trustees.

The listing of a product on the NCP Product Schedule indicates only that the technical product
data submission requirements have been satisfied. It does not indicate that a product is recom-
mended or endorsed by EPA or the NRT for use on an oil spill, nor does it indicate that a prod-
uct is approved for use on any given spill. Use of these products without appropriate approvals
may place a responder or response organization at risk.

Decisions on public safety issues are typically under the purview of the local lead publi c emer-
gency response agency. Under the safety exception, fire departments and hazardous materials
teams have the authority to treat a spill using a chemical countermeasure if they determine that
the spilled oil could cause an explosion and/or threaten human health. If a chemical counter-
measure is used, responders should make every attempt to contain the fuel/chemical mixture
(runoff) and prevent it from entering storm drains or other environments where 100 percent
product/oil recovery is not possible. However, if local responders use firefighting foam or
"dispersants/surf ace washing agents," which are defined in Subpart J and listed on the NCP
Product Schedule, in situations where they may be discharged into a navigable waterway, OSC
authorization and RRT concurrence must be obtained.

The OSC may authorize the use of any chemical or bi ological countermeasure, including prod-
ucts not listed on the NCP Product Schedule, without obtaining the concurrence of the incident-
specific RRT when the OSC believes that use of the product is necessary to substantially reduce
a hazard to human life.

Chemical Countermeasures Cont'd.

When the OSC authorizes the use of a product under the safety exception, the OSC must inform the EPA
representative to the RRT, the RRT representatives from the state(s) with jurisdiction, and the natural re-
source trustees as soon as possible. Once the threat to human life has subsided, the continued use of addi-
tional products must follow the standard approval process described above.

Failure to obtain proper authorization for the use of chemical countermeasures is a violation of the Clean
Water Act (CWA). Violations of the CWA for misuse consist of up to $55,800 per day per violation in civ-
il fines, and failure to report a discharge is a Title 18 (Criminal Act) violation . For most response scenari-
os, the Region 8 RRT does not support use of chemical countermeasures. The majority of surface water in
Region 8 consists of smaller and fast-moving water channels where mechanical removal techniques are
better suited for collection of spilled hydrocarbons.

In-Situ Burning

The primary goal of an in-situ burn (ISB) is to minimize the oil's
impact on the environment by rapidly reducing the quantity of
spilled oil through burning. Responders should evaluate operational
conditions including spill location, oil type and condition (i.e., thick-
ness, emul sification, degree of weathering), current and forecasted
weather, wave height, and the presence and condition of vegetation
i (moisture level and time of year). Response conditions must include
sufficient oil thickness, ignitable hydrocarbon vapor concentrations,
and an ignition source in order to sustain combustion of the oil
through ISB. In certain instances, ISB might provide the only means
of quickly and safely eliminating large amounts of oil.

The major issues for in-situ burning of inland spills are proximity to human populations (burning must take
place at least three miles away from population at risk), soil type, water level, erosion potential, vegetation
species and condition, and wildlife species presence. Burning may actually allow oil to penetrate further
into some soils and sediments. Because it releases pollutants into the air, in-situ burning requires careful air
quality monitoring. Devices are pre-deployed near populations to measure particulate levels. If air quality
standards are exceeded, the burn will be terminated. Because in-situ burning uses intense heat sources, it
poses additional danger to response personnel. Igniting an oil slick requires a device that can deliver an
intense heat source to the oil.

In the United States, the use of ISB as an oil spill response tool is regulated by both federal and state laws.
Regional Response Teams, made up of federal and state agencies, have developed guidelines that provide a
common decision-making process to evaluate the appropriateness of using ISB during a spill response. The
basic framework for this response management structure is a unified command system that brings together
the functions of the federal and the state government and the responsible party (i.e., the spiller) to achieve
an effective and efficient response, where the Federal On-Scene Coordinator (FOSC) retains authority. Re-
sponders must also obtain an air permit from the state for in-situ burn activities.

Liability is a major deterrent to the use of in-situ fire and must include a substantial evaluation of the risks
from escaped fire.

If you have questions about chemical countermeasures or would like more information, please contact the
R8 OSC Duty Officer at 303-293-1788.

U.S. EPA NATIONAL APPROACH TO
DISASTER MITIGATION AND RECOVERY

PURPOSE.

The purpose for issuing Order 2074 is to reaffirm the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
role in leveraging Agency programs and resources in support of disaster mitigation and
recovery activities and to provide a structure for how regional offices and national programs
will coordinate to support states, tribes, territories, and local communities preparing for or
recovering from disasters.

BACKGROUND.

Disaster mitigation efforts reduce the loss of life and property by lessening the impact of
disasters to people, the community, infrastructure, and the environment. Disaster recovery
involves the use of federal resources to support state, tribal, territorial, and locally led efforts to
rebuild communities for long-term success and resilience. With the right planning and
community engagement, new mitigation and recovery investments have the potential not only
to strengthen resilience to disasters, but also to protect human health and the environment. For
both mitigation and recovery, EPA coordinates with other federal, state, tribal, territorial, and
non-governmental partners to maximize investments; provides critical expertise for building
resilience to disasters; and provides support through financial and technical assistance
programs, guidance, and tools.

This order complements Order 2071 National Approach to Response, which defines roles and
responsibilities of Agency leadership and staff responsible for managing disaster response
efforts in headquarters and regional offices. Additionally, the Agency's emergency support
function mission activities also play a critical role alongside other federal agencies in
supporting disaster mitigation and recovery. With increasing frequency and severity of natural
disasters, it is important that the Agency ensure roles and responsibilities are clear at all levels
in headquarters and regional offices so the Agency can be effective and efficient in providing
support for mitigation and recovery efforts.

POLICY.

In compliance with all applicable authorities and directives, the Office of Homeland Security
shall provide coordination across the Agency related to disaster mitigation and recovery
through the responsibilities highlighted below. This order does not prescribe how each EPA
headquarters program or region will conduct disaster mitigation and recovery work. Each
disaster is unique, and the appropriate EPA expertise and support will depend on the nature of
the impacts to different populations, ecosystems and infrastructure.

-------
Page 9

U.S. EPA NATIONAL APPROACH TO
DISASTER MITIGATION AND RECOVERY Cont'd.

As such, within 120 days of the issuance of this order each EPA national program and region
will develop a set of standard operating procedures addressing the assignment of staff to fulfill
the responsibilities for supporting disaster mitigation and recovery efforts outlined in Section 6
below.

After a disaster, if the impacted region(s) need(s) national EPA expertise, additional field
personnel, or other EPA resources to supplement the region's capabilities and recovery support
operations, the region(s) will work with OHS, national program offices, and other regions to
obtain the necessary personnel and resources. If requested, EPA national program offices and
other regions will support impacted region(s), as appropriate.

SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY.

This order provides guidance on how EPA will support disaster mitigation and recovery efforts
within the Agency's existing authorities and formalizes a structure for how the Agency will
coordinate work on disaster mitigation and recovery across headquarters and regions and with
other agencies. The directive was developed based on processes and procedures successfully
used by EPA in supporting federal, state, tribal, territorial, and community past efforts. It
outlines EPA's internal coordination through EPA's Executive Policy Coordinating Committee
(PCC) and other mechanisms as well as EPA's external coordination through the National
Mitigation Framework (NMF) and National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF). These
national frameworks help to structure EPA's support for mitigation and recovery actions. The
NMF and the NDRF work in conjunction with the National Response Framework (NRF) and
with EPA's National Approach to Response. The NMF provides the context for how a
community works together on risk and resiliency efforts to be better prepared for disasters and
how mitigation efforts relate to all other parts of national preparedness. It is one of the five
documents in the suite of National Planning Frameworks. The NMF describes seven core
capabilities and lists critical tasks for each one. These are:

•	Threats and Hazard Identification

•	Risk and Disaster Resilience Assessment

•	Planning

•	Community Resilience

•	Public Information and Warning

•	Long-Term Vulnerability Reduction and

•	Operational Coordination

EPA's core programs support all seven NMF core capabilities through efforts in response and
recovery, as well as through mitigation efforts not specific to a disaster event.

While most mitigation activities and investments come from the local and regional level, federal
agencies, including EPA, play a critical role in supporting and incentivizing these actions using
federal resources.

U.S. EPA NATIONAL APPROACH TO
DISASTER MITIGATION AND RECOVERY Cont'd.

Coordination among EPA programs and other federal agencies is necessary to successfully
support communities, to effectively leverage federal funds to further EPA's mission, and to track
how funds are used. Close coordination with state, tribal, territorial, and local agencies is also
critical to ensure that communities are well served before and after disasters.

As defined in the NMF, mitigation supports protection and prevention activities, eases response,
and speeds recovery to create better prepared and more resilient communities. Mitigation efforts
can come well before a disaster occurs, but they may also be used as part of recovery to break
the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. Embedding mitigation
activities in the recovery process assures that every opportunity is taken to rebuild in a smarter
way that increases the resilience of communities and supports the Agency's mission to protect
human health and the environment.

Following a Presidential Disaster Declaration, FEMA may activate the NDRF to provide federal
support to state and local recovery efforts by activating one or more Recovery Support Functions
(RSFs). Federal support is coordinated by the corresponding FEMA region with the impacted
state(s), territory(ies), tribe(s), and/or communities. EPA recovery support may be requested by
FEMA and/or the state. For example, FEMA may request EPA to provide a Sustainability
Advisor to advise the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO), RSF teams, state partners, and local
officials on sustainable communities, climate adaptation, resiliency, green and energy efficient
growth, and materials and products for recovery planning and construction. The Sustainability
Advisor is one of many recovery roles or resources that may be requested of EPA. The impacted
EPA region is responsible for deciding how this type of staffing would happen, in consultation
with and support from OHS and other headquarters programs.

The NDRF identifies key recovery principles, as well as the roles and coordinating structures
that organize national recovery efforts. Federal agencies use the protocols outlined in the NDRF
to coordinate recovery activities for a wide array of disasters. Under the NDRF, RSFs are the
structures in which key functional recovery assistance is provided. RSFs support local
governments by facilitating problem solving, improving access to resources, and by fostering
coordination among state and federal agencies, nongovernmental partners, and stakeholders. The
six Recovery Support Functions are:

1.	Community Planning and Capacity Building (CPCB) RSF

2.	Economic RSF

3.	Health and Social Services RSF

4.	Housing RSF

5.	Infrastructure Systems RSF

6.	Natural and Cultural Resources RSF

For each RSF, there are coordinating, primary, and supporting agencies. EPA is a primary
agency for Health and Social Services and Natural and Cultural Resources RSFs and a
supporting agency for the remaining RSFs. In addition, the Recovery Support Function
Leadership Groups (RSFLG) engages national leadership from the corresponding RSF agencies
to enhance coordination and collaboration and facilitate outcome-driven recovery across the
federal government.
