5.0 POST-CLOSURE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN <br /> 5.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE <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 /> 5.2 SITE SAFETY OFFICER <br /> The Site Engineer will have the responsibility of Site Safety Officer (SSO). <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. In addition, the SSO <br /> shall be given the authority to commit any of the available resources <br /> necessary to carry out the ERP. <br /> 5.3 EMERGENCY RESPONSE NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE <br /> When any member of the site's maintenance personnel discover or witness <br /> an event, which constitutes an emergency situation, they shall determine the <br /> nature, source, and location of the emergency situation and immediately <br /> report the occurrence to the SSO. The SSO will notify all of the appropriate <br /> response agencies to provide assistance to site personnel. If an emergency <br /> event occurs when field personnel are not on-site, the general public will be <br /> able to use the <br /> Forward Landfill FPCPCMP 5-1 <br /> Z:\PROJECTS\Allied Waste\Forward\Reference Files Prior JTDWune 05 Stage IA Partial FCPCMP\FL-sec 5.doc:6/16/2008 <br />
