® 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 CCR, <br /> Section 21130, as part of the Forward Landfill Stage IA FPCPCMP. The ERP <br /> identifies occurrences that may exceed the design of the site and endanger <br /> public health or the environment. The ERP also sets forth actions, which will <br /> minimize the effects of these catastrophic events. The provisions of this ERP will <br /> be carried out immediately whenever an event occurs such as a fire, explosion, <br /> flood, earthquake, vandalism, surface drainage problems or release of any waste <br /> product which may threaten public health and/or the environment. 27 CCR, <br /> Section 21130 also requires provisions for collapse or failure of artificial or <br /> natural dikes, levees or dams. The ERP will be kept in the operating record at <br /> the on-site administrative offices. <br /> 5.2 SITE SAFETY OFFICER <br /> The Site Engineer will have the responsibility of Site Safety Officer (SSO). The <br /> SSO will be trained to handle all emergency situations. The main responsibility <br /> of the SSO is to oversee the management of all emergency response procedures <br /> implemented at the landfill. The SSO is required to be thoroughly familiar with <br /> all aspects of the ERP as well as all post-closure maintenance activities, the <br /> location and characteristics of buried refuse, the location of facility records and <br /> the overall site layout. In addition, the SSO shall be given the authority to <br /> commit any of the available resources 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 an <br /> event, which constitutes an emergency situation, they shall determine the nature, <br /> source, and location of the emergency situation and immediately report the <br /> occurrence to the SSO. The SSO will notify all of the appropriate response <br /> agencies to provide assistance to site personnel. If an emergency event occurs <br /> when field personnel are not on-site, the general public will be able to use the <br /> Forward Landfill FPCPCMP 5-1 <br /> ):\Allied\Forward\2005.0051 Partial Closure\Partial Closure Plan\FL-sec 5.doc:6/9/2005 <br />
