LLNL Emergency Management Plan(EPlan) Rev 26 January 2021 directly at the junction of the west-east increments. In 2016, a new Seismic Safety Engineering Study was performed by an external independent engineering firm. Numerous structural and construction seismic deficiencies were identified by the evaluation. Due to the presence of the EOC, the space within the facility housing the EOC is identified as an Essential Facility. This space has been upgraded with positive air pressure ventilation. Essential emergency electrical components in the EOC space can be supplied with emergency power by a dedicated and separate back-up diesel generator located outside the facility. DOE HQ has approved a DOE-funded line item acquisition project to relocate the EOC from its current seismically deficient location into a permanent facility meeting California building code seismic structural design requirements for an Essential Facility. This new facility is anticipated to house the EOC and EPO staff, and consolidate life-safety, facility industrial alarms monitoring, and dispatching and communication with LLNL emergency response units. DOE HQ approved LLNL's execution plan for the Design-Build project in Fiscal Year(FY) 2019. Congressional budget line item funding for architectural engineering and design was included in the FY 2020 Federal budget and full funding for construction in the FY 2021 Federal budget for NNSA. Construction of the EOC began in October 2020 and project completion is scheduled for FY 2022. 4.1.2 Alternate Emergency Operations Center If habitability or accessibility issues preclude use of the EOC at Site 200, the EOC location will move to the LLNS corporate office in downtown Livermore. This office has been specifically outfitted with communications equipment to support functioning as an alternate location for the LLNL EOC. Per requirements, this location for the alternate EOC falls outside of the one-mile EPZ. 4.1.3 Department Operations Centers The Laboratory uses DOCs as technical support centers. These centers are located throughout LLNL within organizations that may be called upon by the ED to ensure an adequate level of support for the onsite response and recovery activities. These organizations may include the PAO, the Security Organization (TOC), and Site 300. Each DOC maintains the communications and information management capabilities that are necessary to enable connectivity with the EOC. The physical configuration of individual DOCs is the responsibility of each organization but includes, at a minimum,telephone, fax, COPS connectivity, and VERG support. Site 300 has the capability to operate independently using their DOC in the event of an incident primarily affecting that site. The Site 300 DOC may be activated at the request of the on-scene IC, the Site 300 manager, or the on-duty LEDO. In the event of Site 300 DOC activation, the Site 200 EOC may also be activated at the discretion of the LEDO, should the emergency warrant notifications or additional emergency resources from the Livermore site. 57
