EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN QUESTIONNAIRE
This document, when properly
completed, meets the requirements of Arizona Revised Statutes 26-347. It will be reviewed annually by the
facility coordinator. The capability
to execute the plan on the request of the Arizona Emergency Response Commission
or the Local Emergency Planning Committee can be demonstrated. In preparing this plan, the coordinator
has consulted with the local emergency planning committee and other emergency
and health professionals to assure maximum coordination with those whose
cooperation or services may be required in the event of a reportable release.

11. Briefly
specify the in-house emergency response procedures to be used in the event of
an imminent or accidental reportable release of an extremely hazardous
substance (EHS), to safeguard the public health, safety, welfare and the
environment to the maximum extent practicable.
Include:
A.
On-site response capabilities and levels
of training commensurate with 29 CFR 1910.120, as applicable, to include
personnel involved and actions to be taken.
B.
Identification of emergency units on or
in close proximity to the facility to include fire, emergency medical and law
enforcement.
C. Planned
notification procedures: on-site personnel and response agencies and off
site-site response and regulatory agencies. Address both on-site/off-site alarms, sirens/horns etc., for
personnel notification, and procedures for providing reliable, effective,
and timely notification by the facility emergency coordinator to the public
that a release has occurred.
D. Evacuation
plans to include routes, assembly areas and personnel accounting procedures.
12. Briefly describe
methods the facility will use to determine 1) the occurrence of a release, and
2) the area likely to be affected during a release of an EHS (e.g., computer
modeling, chemical detection equipment, emergency personnel surveillance, etc).
Include methods used both on/off-site, as applicable.
13. Identify general
transportation routes and methods to transport extremely hazardous substances
to/from the facility, if known.
This information will assist in the overall hazard analysis program. Identification of routes on the site
map requested in question #20 would be helpful, along with alternative emergency
traffic routes to be used in the event of an evacuation or for emergency
response access.
14.
Describe technical expertise (e.g.,
chemist, engineer, industrial hygienist, etc.) you would make available to
public agencies in the event of an EHS release from your facility.
List
titles and the type of expertise (names/ phone numbers are not required).
o If not applicable, check here.
Note: This information will assist local
emergency agencies. Contact, if
required, will be through the Facility Emergency Coordinator.
15. Indicate all
internal electronic communications systems to be used by facility personnel in
an emergency situation.

16. Please specify
the general property use of sites contiguous to your facility.
For
purposes of this questionnaire, the term "contiguous" means
"directly adjacent to and within approximately one-quarter mile of the
property line in the indicated direction." It is likely that along one property line there may be
multiple uses of the land. Please
list all major uses of the land within the definition (i.e., mixed
residential/commercial or residential/light industry or apartments/residential
or vacant land/residential, etc.).

facilities on multiple sites or multiple areas may choose to use more than one
map to show all applicable information requested.
HAZARD ANALYSIS WORKSHEET
Instructions: Complete
a hazard analysis worksheet for each Extremely Hazardous Substance on-site at
any one time at or above the threshold planning quantity.

4. If
the extremely hazardous substance is a component in the mixture enter the
weight percentage or the range of weight percentages for multiple mixtures of
the EHS (e.g., 10% arsenic or 2-98% sulfuric acid)
Mixture
Percentage (if applicable)
5. Is
the temperature of the liquid above ambient temperature o Yes o No or near boiling temperature o Yes o No, if the extremely hazardous substance is
stored as a liquid?
In
general what is the temperature of the EHS?

interconnected vessels.
Pounds
Note: List
only the actual weight of the extremely hazardous substance in the single
largest container or interconnected group of containers at your facility. Keep in mind that for mixtures or
solutions use only the weight of the actual EHS. If the EHS is a liquid or gas, conversion data to pounds may
be found on the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the EHS or by contacting
the vendor.
8. Identify
additional engineering controls, safeguards and/or actions taken by the
facility which could decrease the risk associated with the worst case scenario
involving this EHS (e.g., written procedures, alarm systems, building/fire code
compliance, etc.).
