National Preparedness Month

National Preparedness Month is observed every September to raise awareness about the
importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could affect our homes, businesses,
and communities. Homeowners, community members and businesses can use this opportunity to
find ways to understand more about preparing for disasters and reducing risks to health and the
environment.

There has been a flurry of incidents within the past few years that
have captured our attention including hurricanes, floods, fires,
and train derailments-all of which have had a relationship with
chemical and oil releases. As we reflect on our future, we may
consider (or even reconsider) our risks. Our communities may
have those obvious risks that may appear to be low hanging fruit.

Perhaps there are large chemical facilities, a large transportation
hub, or a massive mining operation that takes up your attention, but what about those "sleeper"
risks? Are there risks out there that might not appear on your radar but perhaps need a second
look? EPA has been expressing the need to evaluate your risks under the lens of changing weather
conditions. What if that area that never seems to flood might need another review? Hurricane

Harvey inundated the Houston-area with never-before-
seen rain and flooding that resulted in a major chemical
release from the Arkema plant. Do you have long-lasting
hot streaks or cold snaps? Does your community have the
means to withstand these long-lasting weather events if
they were to occur? Perhaps what seemed
previously inconceivable should be assessed
again.

Something we saw in the recent Maui fire was the
cellular network and power grid being damaged if not destroyed early in the incident. I look at my
own family where we no longer have a home
phone but use our own cell phones. Code Red or
other call notification programs have been
promoted for some time, but what about if that
network is not functional? Do you need to consider
how you might communicate with your community
if you cannot use the cellular phone network? Do
those in your community even have ample access
to cell phones to begin with? Might there be
residents who need to be reached using other
mechanisms in other languages?

National Preparedness Month, contd.

Another matter we saw in the Maui fire was regarding the use of sirens. In your respective commu-
nities, could sirens go beyond the typical tornado use, but warn of a fire, shelter-in-place notice, or
for some other emergency? The City of Denver recently just made this
policy change about the use of sirens within their city limits which you
can read about here. Keep in mind that with a major policy change like
this, it may mean your community may need outreach and training on the
various uses of sirens and even perhaps a reminder of what shelter-in-
place even means. Some chemical and oil facilities use sirens as a warn-
ing mechanism for their own employees, but what about those fence-line
citizens who could hear a siren but would not necessarily know what it is
used for on the other side of the fence? Here is where you can work with
your industry in your respective communities and the LEPC is a perfect
forum for that partnership and perhaps even share resources if that bad day ever occurs.

We will continue to learn from these incidents and hopefully
apply this newfound knowledge to our own communities.
Take a moment to re-evaluate your plans and what is con-
tained within your communities. What was never considered
perhaps should be now. What was evaluated a long time ago
may need another look through different lens. Emergency
preparedness is ever-changing and we need to be careful to
not let complacency take over in our daily functions.

When reviewing your plans, also take a moment to answer the question if you have addressed the
access and functional needs of your community? Not only is periodic review and update of the haz-
ards that exist in your community imperative, but
also can you say you have properly addressed the
needs that exist and have those changed with time?

Ready.gov has a number of resources that can be
found here and the Colorado Division of Home Se-
curity and Emergency Management (DITSEM) has a
robust website with national resources that may be
helpful upon your evaluation.

CSB Reports and Video Releases

CSB Releases New Safety Video on 2019 Explosions and Fires at the TPC Group Chemical
Plant in Port Neches, Texas

The CSB released a new safety video on its investigation into the serious November 2019
incident at the TPC Group Chemical Plant in Port Neches, Texas. A series of explosions
destroyed a portion of the TPC facility, damaged nearby homes and businesses, and prompted a
mandatory evacuation of residents living within four miles of the plant. The incident caused
$450 million in on-site property damage and $153 million in off-site property damage to nearby
homes and businesses. Media reports indicated that the blast was felt up to 30 miles away. The
CSB's investigation found that the incident at the TPC plant was the result of inadequate
management of a hazard called "popcorn polymer," which is well known to plants, such as TPC,
that handle or produce butadiene.

CSB Releases Final Report on 2019 Massive Tank Farm Fire at the Intercontinental
Terminals Company facility in Deer Park, Texas

The CSB released its final investigation report on the 2019 tank farm fire at the Intercontinental
Terminals Company, LLC (ITC) bulk liquid storage terminal in Deer Park, Texas. The massive
fire caused substantial property damage, significantly impacted the environment, and led to the
issuance of several shelter-in-place orders that seriously disrupted the local community.

CSB Releases Investigation Report into Fatal 2020 Explosion at Optima Belle Facility in
Belle, West Virginia

The CSB released its final report into the December 8, 2020, fatal incident at Optima Belle LLC
(Optima Bell) in Belle, WV. The incident occurred during Optima Belle's production of a
sanitizing compound for Clearon Corporation (Clearon). A dryer at the Optima Belle facility
that was removing water from the compound exploded, resulting in the death of an employee
and leading to significant property damage and a shelter-in-place order for the neighboring
community.

EPA Updates

Training Video: Management of Hazardous Chemicals at Chemical Warehousing and
Chemical Distribution Facilities

EPA has released a training video reviewing the 2021 Joint Safety Advisory (EPA, OSHA, and
DHS-CISA) for Chemical Warehouses and Distribution Facilities. The video address the types
of operations in the chemical warehousing industry that are of concern, provides a summary of
the applicable federal chemical safety regulations, and defines common issues related to chemi-
cal management and safety. This video and other Chemical Accident Prevention Publications
are available here: https://www.epa.gov/rmp/chemical-accident-prevention-publications.

Amendments to the Revised Definition of "Waters of the United States"

On August 29, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of the
Army (the agencies) issued a final rule to amend the final "Revised Definition of 'Waters of the
United States" rule, published in the Federal Register on January 18, 2023. This final rule con-
forms the definition of "waters of the United States" to the U.S. Supreme Court's May 25, 2023
decision in the case of Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. Parts of the January 2023
Rule are invalid under the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Clean Water Act in the Sackett
decision. Therefore, the agencies have amended key aspects of the regulatory text to conform it
to the Court's decision. Additional information is available on EPA's Waters of the United
States website.

The conforming rule will become effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Please see
the Rule Status and Litigation Update page for information about the status of the January 2023
Rule, as amended by this conforming rule, and litigation. The agencies are hosting public webi-
nars to provide updates on the definition of "waters of the United States" with space still availa-
ble for:

September 20. 2023 (3pm-4pm Eastern Time)

Each webinar will present the same information, so please register for only one event. Please
note that registration capacity is limited, but the agencies will post a recording of the webinar to
EPA's website.

Now Available: Handbook on Indicators of Community Vulnerability to Extreme Events:
Considering Sites and Waste Management Facilities

The EPA released a handbook titled, "Indicators of Community Vulnerability to Extreme
Events: Considering Sites and Waste Management Facilities." This handbook provides steps for
developing indicators to identify local areas and communities that may be vulnerable to acci-
dental releases of hazardous substances during extreme events. By mapping contaminated sites/
waste management facilities, potential extreme events, local environmental conditions, and
characteristics of the population in the surrounding community, this information may be used to
improve local decisions and planning (e.g., adaptation, mitigation, resilience, response).

It is designed to support state and local decision-makers in developing and prioritizing targeted
mitigation, adaptation, resilience, and response strategies to prepare for and prevent potentially
negative health and environmental outcomes from accidental contaminant releases from contam-
inated sites/waste management facilities. Find the Handbook and more information here.

EPA Updates, Cont'd.

EPA has updated the EPCRA website on Lithium-Ion Batteries and EPCRA 311-312 Reporting
Requirements to provide better guidance regarding what lithium-ion batteries are subject to the
federal hazardous chemical inventory reporting requirements. The updated website provides
explanations regarding the consumer product and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) hazardous chemical reporting exemptions, articles, and clarifies that states, tribes, and
territories may impose more stringent
reporting requirements than the federal
regulations.

TRI Updates

OSHA Updates

Department of Labor Announces Rule Expanding Submission Requirements for Injury,
Illness Data Provided by Employers in High-Hazard Industries

The U.S. Department of Labor announced a final rule that will require certain employers in
designated high-hazard industries to electronically submit injury and illness information - that
they are already required to keep - to the department's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration. The final rule takes effect on Jan. 1, 2024, and now includes the following
submission requirements:

•	Establishments with 100 or more employees in certain high-hazard industries must
electronically submit information from their Form 300-Log of Work-Related Injuries and
Illnesses, and Form 301-Injury and Illness Incident Report to OSHA once a year. These
submissions are in addition to submission of Form 300A-Summary of Work-Related
Injuries and Illnesses.

•	To improve data quality, establishments are required to include their legal company name
when making electronic submissions to OSHA from their injury and illness records.

OSHA will publish some of the data collected on its website to allow employers, employees,
potential employees, employee representatives, current and potential customers, researchers and
the general public to use information about a company's workplace safety and health record to
make informed decisions. OSHA believes that providing public access to the data will
ultimately reduce occupational injuries and illnesses.

OSHA Fatal Facts: Confined Space Fire

OSHA has released a Fatal Facts document about a confined space fire. Two contract workers
died of smoke inhalation and multiple blunt-force injuries during maintenance work on the inner
walls of a connected pair of pulp bleaching towers at a paper mill. Access the document here.

PHMSA Announcements

PHMSA/FRA Suspend Authorization for Rail Transport of LNG

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) in coordination with
the Federal Railway Administration (FRA), is suspending recent amendments to the Hazardous
Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) authorizing transportation of "Methane,
refrigerated liquid," commonly known as liquefied natural gas (LNG) in DOT-113C120W9
specification rail tank cars while it conducts a thorough evaluation of the HMR's regulatory
framework for rail transportation of LNG in a companion rulemaking under Regulatory
Identification Number (RIN) 2137-AF54, and determines whether any modifications are
necessary. See the final rule for full details.

DHS Homeland Threat Assessment

DHS Continues to See High Risk of Foreign and Domestic Terrorism in 2024 Homeland

Threat Assessment

Annual Threat Assessment to Replace Regular NTAS Bulletins and Provide the Public and oar
Partners with More Comprehensive Analysis of Most Pressing Threats and Challenges

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the 2024 Homeland Threat Assessment
(HTA), which continues to identify a high risk of foreign and domestic terrorism in 2024. The
HTA provides the public and the Department's partners with a detailed report on the most
pressing threats to the United States as part of the Biden Administration's continuing effort to
assist them in preparing for, preventing, and responding to the diverse and dynamic threat
environment.

Assessments from the 2024 HTA:

•	Foreign and Domestic Terrorism: The Department expects the threat of violence from
individuals radicalized in the United States to remain high, but largely unchanged, mainly
seen through lone offenders or small group attacks that occur with little warning. While
sustained counterterrorism pressure has significantly degraded the ability of foreign terrorist
organizations to target U.S. interests, foreign terrorist groups like al-Qa'ida and ISIS are
seeking to rebuild overseas, and they maintain worldwide networks of supporters that could
seek to target the homeland.

•	Border and Immigration Security: The complex border and immigration security
challenges we have faced over the last year are likely to continue. In addition to the
immigration challenges, the trend of an increased supply of fentanyl and variations in its
production during the last year that have increased the lethality of these drugs is expected to
continue.

•	Foreign Misinformation: The spread of mis-, dis-, and malinformation aimed at
undermining trust in government institutions, social cohesion, and democratic processes will
remain a likely strategy for adverse nation-states. Foreign actors leverage cyber and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to bolster their malign influence campaigns by improving
the translation quality of their content.

•	Economic Security: We expect adverse nation states to continue using predatory economic
practices, espionage, and cyber-attacks to try harm the U.S. economy, gain advantage for
foreign companies, and steal U.S. intellectual property and trade secrets.

NASTTPO Mid-Year Conference

The National Association of Sara Title III Program Officials (NASTTPO) mid-year conference

EPA Enforcement Updates

EPA fines Suncor for chemical accident prevention and
reporting violations

Contact: David Piantanida, (piantanida.david@epa.gov). (720) 879-1951

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (August 18, 2023) - Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) announced a $300,030 settlement with the Suncor Energy USA Inc., Commerce
City Refinery (Suncor) to resolve alleged violations of toxic chemical-related regulations.

The settlement addresses chemical accident prevention, toxic chemical release reporting and
community right-to-know violations at the refinery, which EPA discovered during an inspection
conducted from September 14-17, 2020. Suncor will pay $60,000 in civil penalties. It will also
spend at least $240,030 on emergency response equipment as a Supplemental Environmental
Project to enhance the chemical release accident response capabilities of the South Adams
County Fire Department in Commerce City, Colorado

"Facilities must properly handle hazardous substances to prevent dangerous chemical accidents
and follow reporting requirements when releases occur," said KC Becker, EPA Regional
Administrator. "If they don't, EPA will hold them accountable. We are pleased that Suncor is
implementing critical safety measures to protect workers and the community."

The inspection focused on the root causes related to the catalyst release that occurred on
December 11, 2019, among other areas. The EPA found that Suncor violated the following
regulations:

•	The Risk Management Program under the Clean Air Act, which is aimed at preventing
accidental releases of chemicals that can have serious consequences for public health, safety,
and the environment; Specifically, Suncor failed to maintain correct process safety information,
complete outstanding process hazard analyses, update operating procedures and follow
management of change procedures.

•	Toxic chemical release reporting requirements under the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act and reporting requirements under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, which are designed to notify the
community of toxic releases from facilities to help prepare for and protect against chemical
accidents. Specifically, Suncor failed to timely report two releases and failed to report sulfuric
acid in their industrial batteries to the local emergency responders.

Suncor certified that it addressed these findings.

Please see Consent Agreement and Final Order for more information.

Read more information about the Risk Management Program. Emergency Planning and
Community Right to Know Act and section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act.

Emerging Issues

The use of home energy storage systems to store solar energy has become more widespread, and
yet can pose a significant risk to responders and the environment if damage is caused to the unit.
This damage can range from simple overcharging to being damaged from fire. In a large or
widespread fire impacting many homes or buildings, this can pose substantial challenges for
response and recovery operations in the aftermath of the fire.

Recent ^disasters have^shown that these energy storage

on inspection of the outer
surface (Figure 2). However

the debris. Can you see them all?

once opened, the cells may be only damaged and are not fully
destroyed (Figure 3). Damaged battery cells pose a substantial risk,
as they can spontaneously reignite for an extended period after a

fire - the longest currently
known time to reignition is
10 months. This reignition
can catch surrounding
packaging, structures,
vehicles, and other materials

on fire, as well as release substantial amounts of toxic
gases such as hydrogen fluoride. Accordingly, immediate
scene stabilization, transportation, and disposal of these
damaged batteries can be extremely difficult.

Batteries involved in a fire are considered damaged,
defective, or recalled (DDR). These DDR batteries have onerous requirements for shipment per
the Department of Transportation which you can read about here. If DDR batteries cannot be
shipped, then the issue of de-energizing and de-construction of these DDR batteries may be
necessary to properly prepare batteries for shipment and disposal.

Removal and disposal of damaged lithium-ion batteries is certainly a developing issue, but EPA
is moving forward to learn more about this issue and how to respond safely and effectively. EPA
has developed one-day tabletop exercises aimed at state and local responders as well as develop
a national task force to help share information across the regions and minimize potential
duplication of efforts. We will continue to push out information as we become aware.

RMP Reconsideration Compliance Dates

Are you an RMP facility? Does your facility have one or more of the 140 regulated substances
above threshold quantities in a covered process? Do not forget that you have outstanding re-
quirements and new upcoming requirements under the RMP Reconsideration Rule.

•	Facilities must coordinate annually with local response organizations and document that
coordination. Attending your LEPC meetings is a perfect way to satisfy this requirement.

•	Your facility must have its plan developed for conducting field and table top exercises by
December 2023.

•	The execution of the first annual notification drills will need to be completed by December
2024.

•	Your first tabletop exercise will need to be completed by December 2026 then every three
years thereafter.

•	If your facility has an accident with an off-site impact, you must hold public meeting within
90 days of that accident.

If you have not already, reach out to your LEPC. This organization has already been estab-
lished to help facilitate these requirements. Make sure your LEPC and other local responding
organizations know if your facility would need assistance in the event of a chemical release or
perhaps your facility could provide assistance to the community with the resources your com-
pany has.
