It is intended to instruct and prepare Site 300 and Facility personnel for potential emergencies. This section defines the types of emergencies that must be responded to by the Alameda County Fire Department (hereafter referred to as the Fire Department) and those that may be remedied by Site 300 Facility personnel per established protocol. The Fire Department uses a classification system that designates incidents as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3. The designations are as follows: • Level 1: An incident that can be handled by the first alarm companies or can be contained within single jurisdiction without the need for mutual -aid assistance. • Level 2: An incident that requires more resources than those which responded to the first alarm. These additional resources are readily available through the Twin Valley Mutual Aid and are expected to be adequate to handle the emergency. • Level 3: An incident that requires more resources than those that can be readily obtained by local mutual aid. 1.3 Implementation of the Contingency Plan This Contingency Plan is designed to minimize hazards to human health or the environment fr om fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non -sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents waste to the air, soil, or surface water.
