ObjectiveThis session will show how to comprehensively risk screen and assess tank facilities for fitness against large scale earthquakes.
DescriptionAlthough seismic design standards are well developed, the codes, standards, and regulations typically do not require upgrading older tanks to current seismic design criteria which have changed substantially. Therefore, in general, older facilities are at higher risk than newer ones. Since there are no regulations that require upgrading, this course shows how to screen these for the risks that they pose.

ObjectiveThis session will provide participants with an update of the Hazardous Materials Area Plan (Area Plan) requirements and will cover various styles and formats of the Area Plan Update that will meet CalOES guidelines.
DescriptionThe Hazardous Materials Area Plan (Area Plan) program was established in 1986 to allow for local implementing agencies (UPA, CUPA) to respond to, minimize, and mitigate the impacts of a release or threatened release of hazardous materials within their jurisdictions. Area Plans are required to be updated every three years and are prepared in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Division 20, Chapter 6.95, Article 1, Section 25500 et. seq. and Title 19 California Code of Regulations, Division 2, Chapter 4, Article 3: Minimum Standards for Area Plans. Updates to Area Plans over the last several years include the renumbering of the Sections of the Area Plan, the addition of the response to a Pesticide Drift Exposure Incident under Article 1, Section 2622, and where applicable, the emergency communication plan for any release or threatened release from a refinery within the CUPAs jurisdiction in accordance with California AB 1646. The required elements of the Area Plan are as follows: Article 1 2622: Pesticide Drift Exposure Incident Article 3 2640: Proposed Area Plans 2642: Procedures and Protocols for Emergency Rescue Personnel 2643: Pre-Emergency Planning 2644: Notification and Coordination 2645: Training 2646: Public Safety and Information 2647: Supplies and Equipment 2648: Incident Critique and Follow-UP Area Plans can be prepared using different styles and formats, and this is dependent upon the objectives and needs of the CUPA. The ultimate goal of the Area Plan is to make it functional, easy to access during an incident, contain all of the required elements of the Area Plan, and contain any additional information that the CUPA deems necessary. The narrative of the Area Plan should be concise and contain all the information required in Articles 1 and 3 above. Additional information and data relevant to the Area Plan and the individual CUPAs can be placed in Appendices as desired. This allows for easy access to both the basic Area Plan and the additional information contained within the appendices on an as-needed basis. Area Plans can be completed in any format providing that the all the above elements are included in the document. One major format of the Area plan is to follow the sequencing of the elements shown above. Another typical format of an Area Plan is one that discusses the various elements in order of Preparedness, Response, Recovery, and Mitigation. Whatever format is utilized, it is important to know that the Area Plan is a living document that comprehensively supports the CUPAs requirements and provides a concise guide to response to a hazardous materials incident.

ObjectiveThe California State Water Board administers groundwater cleanup through two programs. This presentation will give an overview of the two programs and upcoming changes.
DescriptionThe California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) administers groundwater cleanup primarily through two programs. One has had decades of robust funding to assist with cleanup and oversight. The other has had fewer resources even though the sites are often more complex and have had a greater impact on water resources. This presentation will give an overview of the two programs and updates about current changes. The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) program, which has been funded from a gasoline storage fee since 1991. Primarily small business owners and some major oil companies have had the benefit of nearly 4 billion dollars to assist with investigation and cleanup for over 39,000 LUST cases. The contaminant plumes emanating from LUST sites consist of petroleum products, and have a higher propensity to naturally biodegrade. This factor - along with the readily available funding for most cleanup and oversight - has resulted in LUST cases moving through cleanup more quickly, the number of open cases declining, and fewer impacts to water supply wells. The other program, the Site Cleanup Program (SCP), has had fewer revenues to assist with cleanup and oversight. For the vast majority of SCP cases, the discharger is required to finance the cleanup of their site in its entirety and pay for agency oversight under the State Water Boards Cost Recovery Program. Approximately one-half of the 4,900 open SCP cases are in the Water Boards Cost Recovery Program. The other half of open SCP cases had been subject to limited funds for administrative oversight or under local agency oversight. To help with some of the funding limitations, the Site Cleanup Subaccount Program (SCAP) has new authority to increase its funding from $17 million to $34 million per year to help insolvent RPs. SCP cases are typically more complex and higher risk than LUST cases in part to the high variability of contaminants (chlorinated hydrocarbons, metals, PCBs, etc), the wide variability in cleanup cost, the higher propensity for vapor intrusion, and the lower propensity for biodegredation - resulting in legacy groundwater plumes that are more likely to impact water supply wells. In fact, the number of impacted water supply wells indicates there are many more discharges out there than have been reported to date. The State Water Board promotes collaboration with sister agencies and water districts to identify and capture groundwater contaminant plumes, identify unreported sources of contamination, and to clean up contaminated groundwater in California.
