0 5.0 POST -CLOSURE EMERGENCYRESPONSE <br />This Emergency Response Plan (ERP) was prepared in accordance with 27 <br />CCR, Section 21130, as part of the Forward Landfill Stage IA FPCPCMP. <br />The ERP identifies occurrences that may exceed the design of the site and <br />endanger public health or the environment. The ERP also sets forth actions, <br />which will minimize the effects of these catastrophic events. The provisions <br />of this ERP will be carried out immediately whenever an event occurs such as <br />a fire, explosion, flood, earthquake, vandalism, surface drainage problems or <br />release of any waste product which may threaten public health and/or the <br />environment. 27 CCR, Section 21130 also requires provisions for collapse or <br />failure of artificial or natural dikes, levees or dams. The ERP will be kept in <br />the operating record at the on-site administrative offices. <br />The Site Engineer will have the responsibility of Site Safety Officer (SSO). <br />g p Y <br />The SSO will be trained to handle all emergency situations. The main <br />responsibility of the SSO is to oversee the management of all emergency <br />response procedures implemented at the landfill. The SSO is required to be <br />thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the ERP as well as all post -closure <br />maintenance activities, the location and characteristics of buried refuse, the <br />location of facility records and the overall site layout.

The SSO will notify all of the appropriate <br />response agencies to provide assistance to site personnel.
