FItICEIVED FEB 1 1 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT Item#104: Union Pacific directs all emergency communications through its Response Management Communications Center(RMCC). The RMCC is staffed 24 hours per day, seven days per week with communication professionals that have been trained to notify relevant federal, state and local emergency response authorities, as appropriate, and to dispatch the Railroad's emergency response resources as necessary. This infrastructure is utilized throughout the Railroad's system, which encompasses hundreds of facilities within an infrastructure of 32,000 miles in 23 states. It is also sanctioned by federal, state and local authorities, including most jurisdictions within the State of California. To the extent that the Railroad's system deviates from the explicit wording of the local requirement, we believe it accomplishes the objective of the local requirement in a way that provides consistentcy throughout the Railroad's 32,000 mile infrastructure; and to the extent the local requirement is inconsistent, we believe it is preempted by the Interstate Commerce Termination Act of 1995, 49 U.S.C. 10501. This exercise of federal preemption authority does not mean Union Pacific will violate state and local requirements that are designed to protect human health and the environment. It simply means that an alternative method will be utilized to meet those requirements in a way that does not burden interstate commerce. Item#109: Manifests 012422085JJK, 012423729JJK and 010192669JJK were re-submitted by GHD Associates to DTSC, on behalf of Union Pacific. Copies of the final manifests are included as Attachment 6. Item#110: Manifests 012422085JJK, 012423729JJK and 010192669JJK were re-submitted by GHD Associates to DTSC, on behalf of Union Pacific. Copies of the final manifests are included as Attachment 6. Item#301. On January 21, 2016, the oil observed to be leaking from the air compressor was sampled and a waste determination was completed by Union Pacific contractor Arcadis (Attachment 7). The oily material from the compressor unit was sampled and has been determined to be a non-hazardous waste. The oily solids have been containerized in a drum and will be scheduled for proper disposal. The compressor unit has been identified as a bad order and is scheduled for removal and will be returned to the manufacturer. Item#303: The fire extinguishers were tested and replaced as necessary to assure proper operation in time of emergency. The fire extinguishers were inspected and tested on February 11, 2016.
