I UNIFIED SAN DIEGO COUNTY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EMERGENCY
RESPONSE PROGRAM Q
SECTION I - BACKGRO-UND
General: Emergencies created by releases of hazardous wast
and/or materials occur in San Diego County on a daily basis
Many of these emergencies are confined to a small area, do not pose a public health threat, and are easily mitigatc by the responsible party. Frequently, however, hazardous materials incidents are of such a nature, that routine resc are not capable of containing them or, of preventing expost to surrounding populations. When such an incident does
occur, specially trained and equipped staff must be availak Currently, approximately 5-10 incidents per week occur in San Diego County which require an emergency response by a fire agency, the County Department of Health Services, or both.
In San Diego County, as elsewhere, hazardous materials incj
response is conducted by fire agencies as first responders,
with a supporting role played by the Department of Health
Services' Hazardous Materials Management Unit (HMMU). Wher an incident occurs, it is the responsibility of the local e fire unit to respond to the scene and, after making an init evaluation, act to contain the release, maintain site contr
order and arrange for the evacuation of surrounding resider
and generally function as incident commander. The City
of San Diego Fire Department currently has the only adequat trained and equipped Hazardous Materials Response Team in
San Diego County. The HMMU, once notified, deploys to the scene and is responsible for making public health evaluatic and providing technical assistance to the incident command< Under current procedures, the HMMU's responsibilities inclt arranging for clean-up of the area, preparing enforcement cases against violators and initiating recovery of costs
f

e
c incurred for clean-up and other activities.
Hazardous materials incident response is a highly specialir and expensive endeavor . Preparation of an emergency respor
can require approximately 200 hours of initial training
in chemistry, hazard analysis and risk assessment, personal 0 protection and safety, and the use of a wide variety of chemical monitoring instruments. A large part of this traj is currently available only through expensive courses whick
have very limited enrollments. The provision of this trair
with personnel time included, can cost more than $6,000 per person per year. Personal protection gear for a singlc
dollars and a basic set of equipment for an emergency respc e emergency responder can easily run into the thousands of

t
4 vehicle can cost approximately $50,000. Vehicle costs ran5 from $50,000 to $150,000.
In the past, San Diego county fire agencies have responded to hazardous materials incidents with only limited equipmer and training. As the incidence of emergencies and the numk
of hazardous chemicals increases, so does the need for higk
trained and equipped staffs. One option would be for each
fire agency to provide such service within its own district
*
Unified Disaster Council- Task Force: Recognizing that the
costs involved in staffing, equipping and training 50 fire
agencies would be substantial, the Unified Disaster Council
directed the preparation of a study to evaluate the potentj 0 for providing a regional mechanism for responding to hazarc
materials incidents. A task force was formed consisting of representatives from the Unified Disaster Council, the Department of Health Services, the San Diego City Fire Depz ment, and the Office of Disaster Preparedness. In additior
a liaison from the Sheriff's Department participated and e provided a law enforcement perspective.
The task force spent several months examining the current status of hazardous materials emergency response capabilitj in San Diego County and identified several options for deal
with short-comings in the current system. Each option was
considered by the Unified Disaster Council on September
26, 1985. At that time the Unified Disaster Council conceE approved the option calling for a joint response by the San Diego City Fire Department HAZMAT Response Team and
the Department of Health Services' Hazardous Materials Mani
Unit. The Council further directed the Task Force to more e fully refine the proposal for presentation at a future Unif Disaster Council meeting.
On November 21, 1985, the refined proposal was presented to the Unified Disaster Council for consideration. The
Council approved the program in concept and directed the e task force to prepare refined cost figures for the Decembei 19, 1985 Disaster Council meeting. The Council also refer1
the program to the County and City Managers for appropriate action and directed staff to amend the Joint Powers Agreemc
under which the Council operates (See Appendix B - Draft Amended JPA). Finally, at the suggestion of the Council,
Managers' Association at their regular meeting of December
6, 1985.
The revised proposal that follows addresses the issues rai2 at the Disaster Council and City/County Managers' meetings,

emergency hazardous materials incidents will be as specifiec
in the currently adopted "San Diego County Unified Hazardou!
Material Incident Contingency Plan" (HAZMAT Contingency Plan). (The currently adopted plan is Hated March 15, 1984 and is included as Appendix A).
This HAZMAT Contingency Plan identifies the first public safety official to arrive at an incident as the Scene Managc (or Incident Commander) until relieved by the appropriate official. See page 44 of the HAZMAT Contingency Plan for listing of designated Scene Managers for San Diego County
jurisdictions.
The primary responsibility of first responders is to safegu<
all personnel at the scene. This will be accomplished by
restricting access to the scene, initiating containment, if it can be done safely, and isolating persons and materia
until the arrival of qualified HAZMAT specialists. Notific will be initiated in accordance with FigUKe V-B-1, page

SECTION I11 - CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS +
Overview: The program developed herein calls for hazardous materials emergency response to be provided county-wide through the joint efforts of the San Diego Fire Department HAZMAT Response Team and the San Diego County Department
of Health Services' Hazardous Materials Management Unit a (HMMU). Each of these are state-of-the-art teams with more
than three years experience in hazardous materials emergenc response. They have developed a refined working relationsh in their joint efforts within the City of San Diegop each applying its specialized skills to mitigate hazardous mater incidents and protect the residents of San Diego. In these * efforts, the HAZMAT Response Team is responsible for isolat
and containing the incident, stopping the release, effectin
rescues and other related tasks. The HMMU, on the other
hand, is responsible for assessing the risk to public healt
and safety and the environment, taking the necessary steps to mitigate these hazards, insuring adequate clean-up of
*
e the area and conducting cost recovery and enforcement actik
As part of the county-wide program, the HAZMAT Response Team and HMMU will apply this same working relationship throughout San Diego County. When an incident occurs, the
first-responding fire agency will determine if the services of the HAZMAT Response Team and HMMU are needed. If so, they will be requested through San Diego Dispatch and/or Station X. An average response time will be between 30
and 45 minutes county-wide. When dispatched to incidents that will require a great deal of at-scene time, a back-up team will be placed into service to provide necessary cove1 e in the event of concurrent incidents.
Vehicles/Equipment: Three fully-equipped emergency respon: vehicles are currently available to provide county-wide
response to incidents: The SDFD HAZMAT Response Team's apparatus; HMMU's response vehicle and the State HAZMAT
I, vehicle provided through SB 618, the State Superfund. The
HAZMAT Team will respond in either the SB 618 vehicle for
responses outside of the City of San Diego or their specia unit as appropriate. Each will be utilized as a back-up for the other in concurrent incidents. The HMMU will purc: two emergency response sedans for rapid response to hazard1 * materials incidents and will utilize their van for lengthy
responses and long term enforcement or clean-up efforts.
Staffing: Staffing of the county-wide Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Program will be provided by existing
personnel from the SDFD HAZMAT Response Team and HMMU.
HAZMAT Response Team and eight trained specialists in the

Traininq: Training will be provided by the hazardous mater teams throughout San Diego County on a regular basis. Two
four-hour training sessions will be offered per fire zone per year on several subjects, including: the Incident Corn
hazardous materials identification; and integrated agency
coordination. Training will be made available to all agenc

< SECTION V - PROGRAM FUNDING AND COST RECOVERY
Funding of the county-wide hazardous materials emergency response program can be provided through an amended Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) of the 17 entities comprising the
Unified Disaster Council. Costs can be assessed among the members on the basis of assessed valuation and population
as shown in Table 11, The last two columns contains the
percentage portion of the program costs that each member
would be responsible to bear for the first year and subseqL
years, respectively.
Under this program, aggressive cost recovery will be pursue Any costs recovered will first be used to offset expenses
incurred by participating member jurisdictions. The balanc
will be placed in a trust account to reimburse operating expenditures and reduce member contributions. Cost recovei
activity will be directed by the Hazardous Materials Policj Committee. The Task Force believes that cost recovery will have a significant positive impact on program costs within the initial three years of the program, Significantly,
there are several pieces of legislation recently signed
into law which authorize cost recovery. The most recent is AB 2185 which appears to allow for full cost recovery for industry related incidents. Also, SB 618 is still in e effect. As you know, this bill created a ten year program
which, among other things, provides for vehicles and equip]
to cities and counties of hazardous materials response.

< SECTION VI - JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT (JPA)
Enclosed as Appendix B is a draft of the revised second amended Joint Powers Agreement (1979) which authorizes a
Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization.
County Council informally advises us that the JPA is probal
not sufficiently broad enough to encompass a Unified Hazarc
Materials Program as proposed in this study. A copy of this material is being sent to County Counsel for their
review and input. we will be advised.
If County Counsel's assessment does not change, an approack
would be to amend the existing JPA, as drafted, which will allow programs like the proposed Unified Hazardous Material Emergency Response Program to fall under the JPA umbrella.
Proposed changes are indicated by striking out the old tesl
and underscoring the new. Approval of the amended JPA wou: - not commit any jurisdiction to the HAZMAT program. Each jurisdiction would have to specifically and individually
approve participation in the proposed HAZMAT program or any other program that might be proposed under an amended
JPA.

This section covers the activities before, during and after a hazardous material incident. In a1 1 three phases, pre-emergency, emergency respons and post emergency, coordination of Federal, State and local resources is required. Additionally, private industry, in the form of transporters, consumers and generators maintain a primary responsibility in all three phases.
Once responsi bi 1 i ty is identified, individual juri sdi cti ons and county departments can determine the need for personnel, funds, equipment and training. Responsibility of pertinent State agencies is covered in Chapt IV of the State of California Hazardous Material Incident Contingency Pli

1. Planning
In a region as large and diverse as San Diego County, coordinati between the cities and the county is absolutely essential. €mer plans are almost constantly under review as situations occur, personnel change or the urban picture is modified.
Planning is the key to pre-emergency effort. department with a role in hazardous material response should hav clear and concise response plan or SOP.
This preplanning greatly simplifies the emergency effort especia when external assistance or funding is required or when multi- jurisdictional response is necessary. This plan lists private advisory and response resources which are avai lab1 e w4 thi n the County.
Mutual aid is also important in our unified effort, not only bet jurisdictions, but also within the industrial community.

a. Scene Mangement System *
The variety of potenti a1 hazardous materi a1 incidents requi r systematic approach to scene management. Incidents range fr very small releases to releases of potentially disastrous proportion. The Scene Management System begins to develop f the time an incident occurs until the requirement no longer a exists. The requirements of the situation dictate which por of the Scene Management structure are used during a particul i nci dent.
In a small incident involving low toxicity material, operati and logistics may be handled by one individual with a shovel .c a bucket; planning would include determination that no othe resources were required; logistics would include identificat of a suitable disposal site; and costs might not be of any consequence, so financial considerations would not be significant. On the other hand, a potentially disastrous ri could require teams for each specified function. The Scene Management System allows an orderly expansion from a small incident to one that involves a multitude of agencies. The contingency pl an covers the expansion in detai 1.
In the event of any hazardous material incident, the first . official on site shall assume the duties uf the State Agenc: Coordinator (SAC) until relieved by the designated SAC.

Training is also broken down into initial and recurrent. Initi training is required whenever new personnel enter a position of responsibility or whenever there is a major revision to an inci response. Recurrent training is required on at least an annual for all personnel. Primary responders and decision makers requ considerably more involvement. This involvement may be in the
of real life situations or training if the involvement level is Readiness in responding to hazardous material incidents can on1 mai ntai ned through vi gorous trai ni ng.
Exercises work hand-in-hand with training. A properly run exe not only trains the participants, but also tests the plan for completeness, accuracy and effectiveness. The critique is the important facet of an exercise as it usually identifies the str and weaker sections of a plan, permi tti ng revi sions or addition required.
Exercises should be conducted in a progressive manner, starting small scale drills within a department or agency. (Priority is placed on communications, checklists and internal organization) next level of exercise might be a table top seminar with agency responding to posed problems. Thirdly, would follow an emergenl operations simulation test for operations personnel. The final is a full field exercise with the EOC staffed and several agenc jurisdictions involved in responding and coordinating their joi efforts.

VI. FUNDING
A. Introduction
Proper response to hazardous materials incidents requires adequate funding for pre-i nci dent considerations as we1 1 as post-i nci dent cleanup - fhi s section outlines various opportunities that are available for financing
local pre-incident activities such as planning, tkaining, and equipment. Local revenue sources will be particularly fmpot-%ant since it is clear that Federal and State funds will not fully finance all the necessary
expenses i ncurred by 1 oca1 government. Mechani sms to recover cl eanup costs are very different from financing program costs and are discussed
separately.
1, Pre-incident Activities
Each agency which partfcipates in hazardous material response
activities has the responsibility to provide equipment and to fund
training of its own personnel in operational tactics appropriate to that agency I s function e
hfttle Federal assistance is currently avaflable to finance the development of local hazardous spi 7 1 programs. The Federal Superfund- --under the Comprehensive Environmental Responsep Compensation and
b%abi 1 i ty Act of 198B---provi des some funds for emergency response to
and cleanup of hazardous substances, but not for pre-incident acts” vi t ies o
At the State level9 Senate Bill 618 (enacted fn 1981) created a $10 md%%ion State Superfund financed by a flat fee upon hazardous waste
lanc@ill disposal, Most crP this money will be spent on remedial
action and emergency response. However, some money has been opecdf fcal ly earmarked f 81” pre-incident activities: $800,000 has been
allocated for State and local mergency response equipment; nearly $3@3,000 would go &Q the CHP to tsafn State and %oca% response pa~sonnel; and $83,006 would go to the State Office of Emergency
Services fer wotificatfsw and response planwfng. The $8OO,OOO will be avaflable yearly as part a$ a planned 8 year program to provide minimum level of equipment to all pertinent localities.
Gdhereas some 1 fmited fundi ng can be expected f $om S8 618 in 1983-84 an$ 1984-85, it io dffficult to predfct what ws”P1 happen in subsequent
years. Consequently, it is imperative that each local jurisdiction and responding agency evaluate its own needs for staffing, equipment and training and determine the most appropriate means of meeting those goal s.
2. Clean-up Coot Recovery
’bhe basfc polfcy whfeh guides the actions of all agencl’es that respond to hazardous material incildents is that the party responsible for an inddent should ultimately pay the cost of handling it. Parties at

. fault are liable for the costs of damage caused by the release, cleanup, and restoration of the environment. frequently requires actions to be taken and costs to be incurred before agreements can be reached with responsible parties, it is practice for local and state agencies to do what is necessary at time and seek redress later.
In the past, some private emergency response companies have respc
in good faith to contain a spill before deciding who will pay the
bi 11. Before initiating cleanup operations, however, they must 1 commitment that someone will pay. If the party at fault cannot t found or does not have enough money, the responding agency reque: cleanup services may be required to pay the bill. Even if the pi at fault eventually pays, a local jurisdiction may be faced with handling the bill until they receive reimbursement from the responsible party. governments, several special funds have been created to help cov c 1 eanup costs .
Senate Bill 618 created a State Superfund financed by a flat fee hazardous waste landfill disposal. The fund is used to meet Fed Superfund matching requirements as well as for victim's compensa emergency response, epidemiology studies and additional cleanup. fund is being administered by the State Department of Health Ser (DHS). At this time, it is uncertain as to what type of spill k eligible for funding. In any event, the financial burden for c7 of most minor spills will continue to be handled by local agenci when the responsible party is not identified.
The scarcity of funding avai lable at the State or Federal level local hazardous materials incident cleanup programs places addit f i nanci a1 burdens on 1 oca1 agenci es . Proper i nci dent management require informed decision making on the part of the Scene Wanagi Consequent 1 y, advance i nci dent pl anni ng should i ncl ude assi gnmei person or agency who will be able to comnit local funds for immc cleanup of an incident, as we1 1 as a proper mechanism for acces! those funds.

11 e RESPONSE TO HAZARDOUS SUBSTAN& SPILLS -
Where deft’nite infomation ~n the materia?^ spilled is available, response will be based on informatlsn taken from the Chemical Hazards Response Informatfon System (CHRIS, CG-446) 9 with amplifying information obtained vi a the Ched cal 1 ransportation Emergency Center (CHEMTWEC) and the National Response Center as necessaryo
Where the type of material spilled io unknown, response efforts wfll emphasize the following:
A. Attempts to obtain as much information as possible concerning the nature of the pollutant.
8. Monitor the spread of the pollutant as closely as possiblewhile keeping pekssnnal contact with the material to a minimum.
C. Warn all waterfront facilities, water users, inhabitant of waterfront areas, and vessels in the affected area of the potential hazard. Cl”vi1 preparedness and response to civil emergencies is normally the responsibi l ity of local governisant ageplcf es,
As spills of thfs nature can be expected to have a drastic effect on marine life, response efforts should be closely coordinated with the California Department of Fish and Gam and the Water Quality Contsol Board. Relevant telephone numbers are listed in Tab G of Annex XVI of this Plan.

111. ORGANIZATION RESPONSIBILITY ASSIGNMENTS * A. Command Post Personnel
The command post exists as the center of information flow to and from On Scene Coordinator. The various personnel staffing the command pos manage this flow of information and make recommendations to the OSC. number of watchstanders assigned will be based on the scope and size
WJ the spill. For small spills, one individual may fill several positio For larger spills, separate individuals will be required for each position.
B. Cleanup Manager * The cleanup manager has a dual role dependent on the actions taken bq spiller. If the spiller does not accept responsibility for the clear or is unknown, or is proceeding in a manner not acceptable to the OS( cleanup manager assumes responsibility for a cleanup operation as dir by the OSC. He determines the actions to be taken, orders the neces: equipment and personnel and works closely with the civi 1 i an contractc insure the spi 11 is cleaned up in a thorough and efficient manner. Additionally, he may have to utilize and integrate other Federal ager personnel or civilian volunteers into his work force. He also must t alert to see that a1 1 safety standards and procedures are followed.
In the case where the spiller accepts responsibility for the cleanup, cleanup manager supervi ses and directs the moni tori ng activities. Tk number of monitors involved will, of course, be dictated by the exter the spill. Monitoring is done to determine the ability of the force( equipment at a particular site to accomplish the cleanup tasks assigi them. Monitors will be required to keep the cleanup manager informel the progress of cleanup in their assigned areas. The cleanup manage shall work through the logistics officer to obtain the necessary equ and the duty officer to insure that personnel re1 ief is provided for meals, rest, etc. as needed.
