aAdvanced nterconnect rECNNO10611S EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN 1. Purpose The purpose of this Emergency Response Plan is to establish responsibilities and procedures to deal with emergencies that may result from such things as a fire, earthquake, release or spill of a hazardous substance, or a power failure. In case of an emergency, these procedures are to be followed by all employees, visitors, contractors or any other individuals at the facility. This Plan complies with California Title 8, Section 3220, CFR 1910.38, CFR 1910.120, and California Title 22, Section 66265. Appendix A of this Plan includes the Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP) which fulfills the requirements of the San Joaquin County Hazardous Materials Program mandated by Chapter 6.95, Division 20, Section 25500, et seq. of the California Health and Safety Code. 2. Terms and Definitions • Emergency - Any sudden occurrence that could be life threatening or cause damage to the environment, private or public property. Potential emergencies could include among other things a fire, an explosion, an earthquake, or the release or threat of a release of a hazardous waste or hazardous material. • Release - Any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping or disposing into the environment unless permitted or authorized by a regulatory agency. A `threatened release' is a condition that creates the possibility of harm unless immediate action is taken to prevent the episode. • Emergency Response Coordinators (ERC) - Assigned management employees responsible for coordination of response to all plant emergencies. The ERC has the authority for suspending operations by AIT personnel and committing resources needed to implement the Emergency Response Plan (see Appendix A and/or C for a list of ERC members).
