LLNL Emergency Plan Rev-22 January 2017 9 Facilities with unique specialized response requirements may have additional planning beyond what is detailed in this Emergency Plan. For instance, emergency planning for research animals at LLNL is addressed in accordance with federal regulations and the LLNL Animal Program Disaster Plan (LLNL-AM-642420). Furthermore, medical waste actions are planned for in accordance with the California Medical Waste Management Act and LLNL documents Medical Waste Management and Emergency Action Plan for the LLNL Biosafety Level 3 Facility (UCRL- AM-694545), and Medical Waste Management and Emergency Action Plan for the LLNL Biosafety Level 2 (and Lower) Facilities (UCRL-AM-694544). 1.3.2.2 Operational Emergency Hazardous Material Program At certain thresholds, as prescribed by DOE Order 151.1C and associated Emergency Management Guides, hazardous materials identified in the Hazards Survey must undergo a further quantitative analysis through development of an EPHA. For radiological classifications, DOE-STD-1027, Attachment 1, Table A.1 is used for differentiating between Nuclear Facilities and Radiological Facilities. Radiological materials exceeding the quantities listed on the table are screened in for quantitative assessments and documentation in a facility EPHA. Chemicals must be quantitatively analyzed in the EPHA unless they may be excluded by one of four criteria:  Common Public Use Exclusion  Laboratory Scale Quantity Exclusion  Low Dispersibility Exclusion  Low Toxicity Exclusion For biological classifications, facilities and/or operations with agents in type and quantity as described in DOE Order 151.1C, CRD 2b (2) (c), require an EPHA. Inventories of biological agents and toxins are assessed in accordance with the LLNL ES&H Manual, Document 13.1, “Biogovernance,” Document 13.6, “Safe Handling and Use of Biological Materials,” the LLNL Institutional Biosafety program, and the requirements of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s standard, Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories. All buildings/facilities and/or operations requiring a documented EPHA are included in the Operational Emergency Hazardous Material Program. Additional information about the Hazards Survey and EPHA development process is found in Section 1.4.1.2 of this Emergency Plan. 1.3.3 Severe Event Response To prepare for severe events, LLNL has developed a Disaster/Self-Help Program Plan that describes how LLNL and the ERO will respond to a large-scale or regional severe event (e.g., earthquake) impacting LLNL when, for a significant period of time, there may be limited
