INTRODUCTION
1.1
SCOPE
The Gunnison River Sub-Area Contingency Plan (the Plan) has been prepared for the following
counties in western Colorado: Mesa County, Delta County, Gunnison County, Montrose County,
and Ouray County.
The Sub-Area Contingency Plan is provided in two parts, the Support Document and the Emergency
Response Action Plan (ERAP). The Support Document provides information that should be helpful
in planning to minimize the impact of an oil spill or hazardous material incident. It contains
discussions of planning and response roles, hazards identification, vulnerability analysis, risk
analysis, cleanup, cost recovery, training, and health and safety. The ERAP is intended to be a “grab
and run” document in the event of a spill. The ERAP includes information on the incident command
system, notifications, response capabilities, emergency response organizations, evacuation and
shelter-in-place, immediate actions, and mapping.
1.2
PURPOSE
The Gunnison River Sub-Area Contingency Plan is designed to coordinate timely and effective
responses by private industry, local and state officials, and various federal agencies to minimize
damage resulting from releases of oil or hazardous materials into the environment. It is intended to
describe how notification and response activities are coordinated in the area, especially for incidents
involving multiple jurisdictions. The Plan outlines the type of cooperative response that should be
carried out during an oil or hazardous material incident response.
This Plan was prepared under the direction of the predesignated U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Federal On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) in conjunction with the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), Region VIII Regional Contingency Plan
(RCP), the Colorado Emergency Operations Plan (CEOP), and the applicable local contingency
plans/emergency operations plans.
In addition, this Plan intends to identify potential sources of oil and hazardous materials releases,
identify vulnerable environments and populations, and analyze the associated risks posed to the
Gunnison River basin environment and populations.
To serve these functions, this Plan must be a current, evolving document. Responsibility for yearly
updates rests with EPA, but timely notification of changes to information included in this Plan is the
responsibility of each agency named herein. Proposed changes to this Plan may be submitted to:

STATUTORY AUTHORITY
This Plan is required by Section 311(j) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended by the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.
This Plan is written as part of and in conjunction with the Region VIII RCP; the NCP (40 CFR Part
300); Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA),
42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
(SARA); and Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA, also
known as SARA Title III), Public Law 99-499.
1.4
COORDINATED EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING
Federal, state, local, and industry plans are available to supplement this Plan in the event of an oil
spill or hazardous material incident. Federal plans include the NCP, the Federal Response Plan, and
the Region VIII RCP. The state plan is the CEOP. Local plans have been prepared by the Local
Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) for each county as designated by the Colorado State
Emergency Response Commission (SERC). LEPCs may use this Plan as their oil and hazardous
material emergency response plan. All of these plans are described in the following sections and are
incorporated by reference into this Plan.
1.4.1
Federal Response Plan
The Federal Response Plan, developed under the Disaster Relief Act of 1974 as amended by
the Stafford Disaster Relief Act of 1988, coordinates federal assistance to supplement state
and local response efforts to save lives, protect public health and safety, and protect property
in the event of a natural disaster, catastrophic earthquake, or other incident declared a major
disaster by the President.
Copies of the plan may be obtained from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), P.O. Box 2012, Jessup, MD 20794, by fax at 301-362-5335, or by calling FEMA
at 800-480-2520. Additional information about the plan may be obtained by calling the
FEMA Region VIII office at 303-235-4830.
1.4.2
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
The NCP provides for efficient, coordinated, and effective response to discharges of oil in
accordance with the authorities of the CWA. The NCP provides the organizational structure
and procedures to prepare for and respond to discharges of oil and releases of hazardous
substances (40 CFR Part 300).
Information about the NCP may be obtained from the Emergency Response Division
(5202G), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW, Washington, D.C.

Section 1 Page 3
Region VIII Regional Contingency Plan
The Region VIII Regional Response Team (RRT), comprised of representatives from state
and federal emergency response agencies and natural resource trustees, developed the
Region VIII RCP to coordinate timely, effective response by various federal and state
agencies and other organizations to discharges of oil or releases of hazardous substances.
The RCP contains information on facilities and resources in Region VIII from government,
commercial, academic, and other sources. It contains a description of the six states covered
by the RCP, including areas of special economic or environmental importance that might be
negatively impacted by a discharge and for which protection is to be planned; descriptions
of the responsibilities of owner/operators and government agencies in responding to a
discharge; and a description of how the RCP is integrated into Facility Response Plans
(FRPs) and other Area Contingency Plans (ACPs). The Fish and Wildlife Annex to the
Region VIII RCP provides identification of sensitive areas and detailed information on
environmental and human-use resources for evaluating risk, establishing protection
priorities, and planning mitigation strategies. The RCP coordinates with state emergency
response plans, EPA Region VIII ACPs, and EPCRA local emergency response plans.
Information about the Regional Contingency Plan may be obtained from the Preparedness,
Assessment, and Emergency Response Program, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
999 18th Street, Suite 500, Mail Code 8EPR-SA, Denver, CO 80202-2405. The RCP is also
available on the Internet at <http://www.nrt.org>.
1.4.4
Colorado Emergency Operations Plan
The CEOP is an all-hazard document intended to coordinate state government response to
a major emergency/disaster. The CEOP focuses on the assignment of emergency
responsibilities to state agencies and on general emergency operations policies. The
assignment of responsibilities is made relative to twenty key emergency functions. These
are direction and control; warning communications; emergency public information;
hazardous materials; evacuation; shelter; food distribution; emergency programs; legal and
law enforcement; fire; health; medical and mortuary; transportation; debris removal;
economic affairs; military assistance; energy and utilities; damage assessment; radiological
protection; and search and rescue.
The CEOP specifies state government response and recovery policies and procedures dealing
with a potential or actual disaster. The state will supplement the capabilities of local
governments when the situation exceeds the capacity of the local government to provide an
adequate response. If the situation exceeds the capabilities of the state, the state will request
assistance from the federal government. The CEOP integrates the planning procedures that
are described in the local, municipal, and county plans and can be used in conjunction with
this Plan. The CEOP is developed by the Division of Disaster Emergency Services, under
the authority of Title 24, and 29, Colorado Codes Annotated.
1.4.5
Delta County Emergency Hazardous Materials Plan
The Delta County Hazardous Materials Operation Plan contains check lists for the first onscene responder and/or the Designated Emergency Response Authority (DERA) that outline
basic safety precautions, initial actions, site coordination, and containment and counter
measures. The Delta County plan also contains recommended response guidelines to be used
75-00938.00
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 1 Page 4
in response to uncontrolled releases of oil and hazardous substances in Delta County. It also
contains some Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) facility information from the Delta County
Emergency 911 database that includes the name and address of the facility, contact names
and phone numbers, chemicals stored, any special instructions, and the DERA for the area
in which the facility is located. The Emergency 911 database information includes school
names, addresses, contact names and phone numbers and information regarding materials
stored at the schools.
1.4.6
Gunnison County Emergency Hazardous Materials Plan
The Gunnison County Emergency Hazardous Materials Plan consists of a list of HAZMAT
Team members and their phone numbers as well as other useful phone numbers. The plan
outlines the policy for the hazardous material team and states that all people on the hazardous
materials team must be trained at least to operational level and ideally, are trained to
technician level. The plan also includes a request for HAZMAT Team membership form,
incident billing information, a blank alarm record, and brief procedures and protocols for the
HAZMAT Team.
1.4.7
Mesa County Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Plan
The Mesa County Hazardous Materials Operation Plan outlines policies and procedures to
be used in the response to uncontrolled releases of oil and hazardous substances in Mesa
County. It identifies the DERA for areas of Mesa County and describes the responsibility
and authority of local government officials and agencies regarding notifications and specific
response actions to hazardous materials incidents. This plan also outlines in detail
organization and responsibilities of roles to be filled during an emergency response (First
On-Scene Responder, On-Scene Commander, etc.) and discusses civil liability of individuals
and organizations involved in the response.
1.4.8
Montrose County Emergency Operations Plan
The Montrose County Emergency Operations Plan outlines policies and procedures to be
used in response to major emergencies and disasters in Montrose County. It describes the
responsibility and authority of local government officials and agencies regarding
notifications, and general actions to be taken in response to major emergencies and disasters.
Municipalities and communities that will work together in the event of an emergency, names
and phone numbers of contacts for those municipalities and communities, and plan
maintenance and training and exercises are also covered in the plan. The plan does not
address response to hazardous materials incidents.
1.4.9
Ouray County Emergency Hazardous Materials Plan
The Ouray County Emergency Hazardous Materials Plan is in the process of being updated
and will be discussed in this plan when it has been finalized.

Section 1 Page 5
1.4.10 Facility Response Plans
Each facility from which a discharge of oil could reasonably be expected to cause substantial
harm to the environment must prepare an FRP. FRPs, under OPA Section 311(j)(5), address
employee and physical plant issues, as well as the interface with public response entities and
the safety of the neighboring resources and populations. The FRP is kept with the facility’s
existing Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan, and serves as a
reference tool during spill responses. FRPs must be consistent with local, state, and federal
government contingency plans, and identify response personnel and equipment to be used
to mitigate a worst-case discharge of oil to the surrounding environment.
Response plans are also required for transportation-related onshore facilities under 33 CFR
Part 154; for pipeline facilities under 49 CFR Part 194; and for rolling stock under 49 CFR
Part 106, et al.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GUNNISON RIVER SUB-AREA
For the purposes of this Sub-Area Contingency Plan, the scope of the Gunnison River Sub-Area is defined
as the five counties in western Colorado that contain the Gunnison River watershed: Delta, Gunnison, Mesa,
Montrose, and Ouray counties. This planning area is bordered to the west by Grand County, Colorado, and
San Juan County, Utah. It is bordered to the south by San Miguel, San Juan, and Hinesdale Counties, and
to the east by Saguache and Chaffee Counties. Pitkin and Garfield Counties border the area to the north. The
planning area contains the White River National Forest, the Grand Mesa National Forest, the Uncompahgre
National Forest, the Gunnison National Forest, the San Isabel National Forest, the Black Canyon of the
Gunnison National Monument, and the Colorado National Monument (Figure 1).
Delta, Gunnison, Mesa, Montrose, and Ouray counties encompass approximately 10,470 square miles (U.S.
Department of Commerce 1990). The topography includes rolling hills with mountainous terrain throughout.
The Continental Divide runs near the eastern border of the planning area.
Surface water drainage flows generally east to west. Most streams and creeks in the area ultimately feed into
the Gunnison River. The Gunnison River begins in Gunnison County, Colorado, at the confluence of the East
River and the Taylor River, near Almont. The Gunnison River flows south from this point through Blue
Mesa Reservoir and Morrow Point Reservoir. From here, the Gunnison River flows north northwest until
it combines with the North Fork River, six miles west of Hotchkiss where it turns west. The Gunnison River
turns to the northwest at Escalante and flows into the Colorado River south of Grand Junction. This ACP
includes the Gunnison River Basin from the town of Altmont in Gunnison County through Montrose County
and through Delta County to just south of Grand Junction in Mesa County. It also includes the
Uncompraghre River Basin from the town of Red Mountain in Ouray County north to where the
Uncompaghre River meets the Gunnison River in Delta.
There are three major tributaries to the Gunnison River within this Sub-Area: the Lake Fork River, North
Fork River, and Uncompahgre River. The first tributary, when proceeding from upstream to downstream is
the Lake Fork River. The Lake Fork River originates approximately eight miles southwest of Lake San
Cristobal, Hinsdale County. The Lake Fork River flows northeast into Lake San Cristobal and then flows
north into the Gunnison River at Blue Mesa Reservoir. The North Fork River is also a tributary of the
Gunnison River. The North Fork originates in Paonia Reservoir, Gunnison County, and then proceeds
southwest past Paonia and Hotchkiss. The confluence of the North Fork and the Gunnison is approximately
six miles west of the town of Hotchkiss, Colorado. Another major tributary to the Gunnison River, within
this Sub-Area, is the Uncompahgre River. The Uncompahgre River begins in Lake Como, San Juan County,
near the border with Ouray County and then flows north-northwest past Montrose until it converges with the
Gunnison River near Delta, Colorado. The Lake Fork River, the North Fork River, and the Uncompahgre
River have numerous tributaries that will not be discussed here, but are listed for reference in Appendix H.

Section 3 Page 1
RESPONSE OPERATIONS AND ROLES
All emergency response actions and hazardous waste operations must be carried out according to the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and EPA Worker Protection Standards (29 CFR 1910.120
and 40 CFR 311, respectively). OSHA regulations apply directly to private and federal employees. The
same OSHA regulations apply indirectly to state and local government employees (compensated or
non-compensated) through the provisions of 40 CFR 311. Therefore, agencies and individuals involved in
the roles described below must be in compliance with OSHA requirements, including training requirements.
An effective response to an oil or hazardous material release may require cooperation between any
combination of industrial, local, state, and federal entities. The National Contingency Plan states that the
Incident Command System (ICS) will be used for all oil and hazardous materials emergency responses. This
section briefly describes the ICS and describes the response roles of local, state, and federal agencies in
support of the local Incident Commander (IC) and/or State On-Scene Coordinator (SOSC)/Federal On-Scene
Coordinator (FOSC). The ICS is described more fully in the ERAP part of the Sub-Area Contingency Plan.
The NCP specifies the priorities to be followed during a response effort. Safety of human life is the highest
priority during every response action. Stabilizing the situation to preclude the event from worsening is the
next priority. Stabilizing the situation includes securing the source of the spill and/or removing the remaining
product from the container (vessel, tank, pipeline) to prevent additional oil and/or HAZMAT spillage, to
reduce the need for follow-up response action, and to minimize the adverse impact to the environment.
The response effort must coordinate all necessary containment and removal tactics to ensure a timely,
effective response that minimizes adverse impact to the environment. All parts of the national response
strategy should be addressed concurrently, but safety and stabilization are the highest priority. The priorities
set forth in the NCP are broad in nature, and should not be interpreted to preclude the consideration of other
priorities that may arise on a site-specific basis.
3.1
RESPONSE ROLES
This section describes the designation of emergency response roles and authorities for incidents
involving the release of oil or hazardous materials.
Response actions should be monitored or implemented by the lowest level of government with
authority and capability to conduct such activities. The lowest level will generally be local
government agencies. When required, the state will assist with additional resources. When incident
response is totally or partially beyond the capability of state response, the state may request the
assistance of EPA, and the Federal OSC will evaluate the need for federal response action.
Additionally, in the absence of a state or local request for assistance, EPA is authorized by the
President of the United States to take response measures deemed necessary to protect the public
health or welfare and environment from discharges of oil or releases of hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants.
Notification of an oil discharge or release of a hazardous substance in an amount equal to or greater
than the reportable quantity must be made immediately by the responsible party in accordance with
the CWA and CERCLA (33 CFR Part 153 Subpart B and 40 CFR Part 302, respectively). All reports
of discharges and releases shall be made to the National Response Center (NRC) at 800-424-8802.
If direct reporting to the NRC is not practical, or if direct contact with the Federal OSC is needed,
reports may be made to the EPA Region VIII office in Denver, Colorado, at 303-293-1788.
Information about all spills reported to EPA will be relayed to the NRC. In accordance with
75-00938.00
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 3 Page 2
CERCLA and the NCP, all federal agencies are responsible for reporting releases of oil or hazardous
substances from facilities that are under their jurisdiction, custody, or control. Notification to the
NRC of releases on private land is the responsibility of the responsible party, but local or state
agencies may also provide notification. The NRC notifies the Federal OSC, who ensures notification
of the affected state, the National Response Team (NRT), the RRT, and the natural resource trustees.
A notification flow chart and notification form are provided in the ERAP.
It is the policy in Colorado that the first emergency response authority to arrive at the scene of an
incident shall be responsible for the emergency response; except that, subsequent to the emergency
response, continuing responsibility shall be exercised by the emergency response authority with
jurisdiction. As used in this Plan, “emergency response to a hazardous substance incident” means
taking the initial emergency action necessary to minimize the effects of the incident.
If the incident occurs on:
Private Land or Transportation Right-of-Way - The owner or operator thereof may undertake the
emergency response to such hazardous substance incident and shall notify and coordinate such
response with the appropriate emergency response authority. If the owner or operator of the property
does not undertake such emergency response, or if in the judgment of the DERA there exists an
imminent danger to the public health and safety beyond such property, the DERA shall be
responsible for the emergency response to such incident. The local emergency response authority
in each Colorado county is the head of the county commissioners unless otherwise noted. A list of
the DERAs is provided in Table 1 of the ERAP portion of this plan.
Federally Administered Lands - Response to hazardous material and oil incidents on state and
federally administered lands should also be handled at the lowest possible governmental level. The
agency with jurisdiction will coordinate the non-emergency responses or may request EPA to
coordinate the response. The Federal OSC may be requested to provide technical assistance to the
lead agency at any time. In the event of an emergency, EPA retains response authority and the OSC
will ensure that timely and appropriate response takes place. If the incident is of a location and/or
magnitude such that significant natural resources are threatened, EPA may respond to the incident.
If a non-emergency hazardous materials incident occurs on federal property, response and cleanup
is the lead agency’s responsibility; however, it is anticipated that normal operating procedure will
involve coordination with local and state authorities. If the Responsible Party (RP) or Potentially
Responsible Party (PRP) is known, they can or may be held liable for all response, cleanup, and
remediation costs, and the accomplishment of all phases shall comply with state requirements and
standards.
The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Regional Environmental Officer, Office of Policy and
Compliance (303-445-2500), should be notified and kept advised of any significant spills or releases
on DOI-administered lands. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) should be kept advised of any
significant spills or releases on USDA-administered lands.
3.2
RESPONSIBLE PARTY
The RP is defined as the individual, agency, or company responsible for causing the spill or release.
Legally, the RP is financially accountable and liable for actions necessary to abate and mitigate any
adverse environmental and human health effects resulting from a spill or release of hazardous
substances. The RP is also responsible for containment and cleanup of the spill or release, disposal
of contaminated debris, restoration of the environment, and compensation for damages.
75-00938.00
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 3 Page 3
Sometimes the RP is unknown, fails to respond, or responds in a manner that is considered to be
inadequate. In such cases, the local, state, or federal agency having jurisdiction must exercise its
authority to assume control of the response effort. If the RP is available but unable to respond or the
response is inadequate, the RP is required by law to cooperate with and assist the responding
governmental agencies.
Following the termination of the emergency response, the RP is required by law (United States Code
§ 9601 (23)) to take steps to prevent the recurrence of spills or releases (Environmental Law
Handbook 1995). Corrective actions may include improved planning, increased inspections, or the
implementation of physical preventative measures.
3.3
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
Local agencies may provide the initial Incident Command and establish a command post. The local
agency may also establish a Unified Command (UC) with other government agencies, depending
upon the extent of the incident. Local agencies may consist of local fire, law enforcement,
emergency operations groups, emergency medical services (EMS), public works, and health
departments.
In general, these local agencies may provide: IC; appropriate initial notifications; initial hazard
identification and incident assessments; an Incident Command Post or Unified Command Post; site
security, by isolating the scene and restricting entry; search and rescue functions; emergency medical
care, including the decontamination of exposed persons; fire fighting or other defensive actions;
communications equipment; on-scene liaison with other parties; public information statements; and
protective actions, such as evacuation or sheltering-in-place. Refer to the ERAP for detailed
information regarding specific agency capabilities. All responders must be trained for the assigned
task according to OSHA regulations (49 CFR 1910.120).
3.4
STATE GOVERNMENT
The state government provides assistance for hazardous material and oil spill incidents when
requested by local governments. Requests for assistance are routed through the Duty Officer at the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) at 303-279-8855. State assistance
is intended to supplement the response capabilities of local agencies. The state is primarily in an
advisory role; however, the state may activate the Colorado State Emergency Operation Plan to assist
the IC when necessary. State agencies that may be of assistance include:
Colorado Division of Wildlife - Responsible as natural resource trustee for plants, animals, and

support criminal and/or civil proceedings. The CSP enforces motor carrier safety rules and any state
laws that govern transportation of hazardous materials.
State RRT Representative - The state RRT representative provided by the CDPHE is responsible
to ensure the following actions are completed, as appropriate: notify downstream water users
(municipal, industrial, and agricultural) of all discharges and releases that may pose a threat to the
water supply; notify and coordinate with other state and local agencies, including other state natural
resource trustees, as appropriate; take responsibility, in conjunction with the EPA representative, for
selection of disposal sites, arrange for use of disposal sites, select transportation routes to disposal
sites; make arrangements with the SERC to provide security for all on-scene forces and equipment;
assist EPA with the determination of the degree of hazard of the discharge; and operate a site, if
necessary and when no RP or PRP has been identified.
3.5
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
In the event of an oil and/or hazardous substances incident, the primary role of federal agencies is
to assist and support the Federal OSC, and through the Federal OSC, support the activities of local
and state responders. If requested by the state, or under the authority delegated by the President of
the United States, EPA may direct the response. Federal agencies will coordinate through the Region
VIII RRT with affected local and state governments and private entities. Federal agencies will make
facilities and resources available to the Federal OSC consistent with agency responsibilities and
authorities.
The federal government may respond to an incident in various ways depending on the nature and
magnitude of the incident. Most oil and hazardous materials incidents are handled completely at the
local and/or state level, and federal involvement will merely be the assessment of the situation by the
Federal OSC. In a larger scale incident, EPA may determine the need to respond to the incident and
provide the IC with assistance. In the event the President declares a national disaster, the FEMA will
coordinate the assistance of the resources of the federal government. In any case where a natural
resource is injured or threatened, the natural resource trustees will provide additional assistance and
provide advice regarding response priorities. Specific federal agency roles and responsibilities are
outlined in detail in the NCP, the Federal Response Plan, and the Region VIII RCP, and a summary
is provided in this Plan.
3.5.1
Role of the Federal On-Scene Coordinator
The Federal OSC is the primary federal official, predesignated by the President, for inland
areas during a National Response System emergency response. The Federal OSC
coordinates all federal containment, removal, and disposal efforts and resources during an
incident response financed under Superfund or the Oil Pollution Trust Fund. The Federal
OSC is also the point-of-contact for the coordination of federal efforts with those of the state
75-00938.00
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 3 Page 5
and local response community, and informs the Region VIII RRT of the incident. Predesignated Federal OSCs are listed in the RCP.
In the event of a discharge or a release, the Federal OSC has the following responsibilities:
the Federal OSC is responsible for ensuring appropriate response actions, and may respond
to the incident and coordinate response activities as directed by the NCP and agency
guidance, and will ensure that the required notifications have been made. The Federal OSC
will gather all information pertinent to the discharge or release. This includes information
about the source and cause; potentially responsible parties; physical data (nature, amount,
location, direction, time, etc.); pathways to human and environmental exposure; potential
human and environmental impact; potential impact on property; priorities for protecting
humans and the environment; and estimated costs for the response.
The Federal OSC shall consult with superiors regarding situations that may require
temporary or permanent relocation of citizens. In the event that the President declares a
federal disaster, the Federal OSC shall coordinate with the FEMA’s Federal Coordinating
Officer and shall implement community relations activities to keep the public informed. The
Federal OSC shall address health and safety issues for response workers prior to and during
an incident response in order to ensure the safety of all federal and contracted response
personnel.
The President has delegated authority to EPA to respond to an oil or hazardous material
incident that poses a threat to the public health or welfare or environment for inland areas
such as western Colorado. EPA will respond to an oil or hazardous material incident when
requested by the state or when the Federal OSC deems it necessary to protect the public
health or welfare or environment from discharges of oil or hazardous materials. EPA can
provide a variety of resources to complement those of state, local, and private entities, but
is not a first responder and cannot respond on site to every spill, but can always offer
technical assistance. EPA resources include oil and hazardous substance spill response; air
monitoring equipment; radiological monitoring equipment; level “A” through “D” entry
teams; air, water, and soil sampling; spill containment/remediation; technical assistance; and
response to nuclear, biological, and chemical incidents. EPA can also provide the following
preparedness assistance: chemical and oil spill emergency planning; risk analysis;
emergency response training; exercise development and support; specialized software;
reporting information; SARA Title III and first responder training; risk management plans;
chemical safety audits; and counterterrorism assistance. The NCP describes the authority
and specific responsibilities of EPA for response to certain oil and hazardous materials
incidents. The Region VIII Federal OSC has many tools available for assistance during an
emergency, including Radiological Assistance Teams (RATs), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
Public Information Assist Team (PIAT), the National Pollution Funds Center (NPFC), and
the Environmental Emergency Response Unit (EERU). Additional resources include:
•
75-00938.00
Environmental Response Team of EPA (ERT) - Provides expertise in treatment,
technology, biology, chemistry, hydrology, geology, and engineering.
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 3 Page 6
•
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) - Conducts safety and
health inspections of hazardous material sites to ensure that employees are being
protected, determines compliance with its regulations, and provides the Federal OSC
and other agencies with advice, guidance, and assistance regarding hazards to
persons involved in removal or control of oil or chemical spills.
•
National Strike Force Coordinating Center (NSFCC) - The NSFCC maintains
response equipment inventories and logistic networks, and conducts a national
exercise program. The NSFCC can also provide technical assistance, equipment,
coordination of resources, ACP review, coordination of pollution response exercises,
and inspection of district response equipment.
•
USCG Pacific Strike Team (PST) - Provides trained personnel and specialized
equipment to assist the Region VIII Federal OSC in training for spill response,
stabilizing and containing the discharge or release, and in monitoring and assisting
in the response action.
•
Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START) - Provides technical
expertise for the response to and investigation of oil and hazardous substances
incidents. The team has personnel trained in health and safety, multimedia field
monitoring and sampling, incident documentation, cost monitoring, cleanup and
restoration, and disposal techniques during oil and hazardous substances incidents.
•
Emergency and Rapid Response Services Contractor (ERRS) - Can provide trained
personnel and equipment to control, stabilize, clean up, and subcontract
transportation and disposal during oil and hazardous material incidents.
Additional consulting and cleanup services are available to EPA from the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) through Interagency
Agreements. During the response to any discharge, the Federal OSC may request advice or
support from the Special Teams, RRT agencies, and any local support units identified by the
Sub-Area Committee.
3.5.2
Regional Response Team
The Region VIII RRT maintains the Region VIII RCP and has state as well as federal
government representation. The members of the RRT include representatives of EPA, U.S.
Department of Commerce (DOC), U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE), DOI, U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), FEMA, Health and Human Services
(HHS), the Three Affiliated Tribes, USCG, USDA, and the states of Colorado, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.
The RRT is the regional mechanism for pre-response planning and preparedness activities,
as well as for coordination of technical assistance and advice to the Federal OSC. The RRT
standing team provides communications and procedures, planning, coordination, training,
evaluation of responses, preparedness, and related matters on a region-wide basis. The
incident-specific team is formed from the standing team and performs the following
functions: monitors and evaluates reports from the Federal OSC; provides advice to and
recommends a course of action for the Federal OSC; advises the Federal OSC on the
duration and extent of a federal response and recommends specific actions to respond to a
75-00938.00
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 3 Page 7
discharge or release; requests resources from other federal, state, or local government
agencies or from private sector organizations under their existing authorities to respond to
a discharge or release or to monitor response operations; co-chairs, if circumstances warrant
(for example, substantial movement of the pollution into the predesignated area of another
Federal OSC lead agency); and ensures continuous communications with the NRC as
significant developments occur.
The Federal OSC or any RRT member may request immediate activation of the RRT.
3.5.3
National Response Team
National planning and coordination is accomplished through the NRT. The NRT consists
of representatives from the USCG, EPA, DOD, DOE, USDA, DOC, HHS, DOI, U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ), DOL, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), U.S.
Department of State (DOS), General Services Administration (GSA), and the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission.
When an oil discharge exceeds the response capability of the region in which it occurs,
transects regional boundaries, or involves a substantial threat to the public health or welfare,
substantial amounts of property, or substantial threats to the environment, the NRT will be
activated as an emergency response team. This is an extraordinarily rare event. The NRT
coordinates national preparedness to respond to a major discharge of oil that is beyond
regional capabilities and is the national communications center for handling activities related
to response actions.
3.6
STATE AND FEDERAL NATURAL RESOURCE TRUSTEES
Impacts to natural resources can be minimized through proper planning and coordination with federal
and state natural resource trustees both before and during a spill. Consultation and coordination with
trustees and other natural resource managers during the pre-spill planning phase are essential in
identifying and understanding potential natural resource concerns and issues that may arise as a result
of a spill. Consultation and coordination during a spill response are also essential to ensure that sitespecific resource concerns are addressed. Following a spill, natural resource trustees may have the
additional responsibility of assessing injury to the environment through the Natural Resource
Damage Assessment (NRDA) process. Initiation of the NRDA is typically begun during emergency
response activities.
Because the NRDA activities may be similar to those conducted as part of the response, all sampling
and field work conducted by the natural resource trustees should be coordinated with the lead
response agency, and vise versa.
Specific emergency response responsibilities of federal and state natural resource trustees in the
Gunnison River Sub-Area are described in the following sections.
3.6.1
State of Colorado
Colorado Department of Natural Resources - The Colorado Department of Natural
Resources (CDNR) is the state trustee for all animals and plants and is thereby responsible
to seek restitution for loss of fish, wildlife, and plants in Colorado. They are also the natural
resource trustee for State Parks. They can provide on-site inspections, damage assessment,
75-00938.00
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 3 Page 8
and on-site technical assistance. CDNR provides technical assistance to help minimize the
loss of fish and wildlife, help ensure a timely and effective clean up, and encourage clean-up
techniques to minimize damage to fish and wildlife. They can provide law enforcement
assistance to the CSP. The CDNR may be notified of an incident at 303-866-3311.
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment - The CDPHE is the natural
resource trustee for air and water and is the regulatory authority for environmental issues in
Colorado. The CDPHE may be notified of an incident at 303-756-4455.
Colorado Division of Wildlife - The CDOW is responsible as natural resource trustee for
plants, animals, and parks to seek restitution for loss of those resources. The CDOW
performs on-site inspection, damage assessment, and technical assistance; provides law
enforcement assistance to under the supervision of CSP; and encourages clean-up techniques
to minimize damage to fish and wildlife.
3.6.2
U.S. Department of the Interior
Under Executive Order 12580 and Sec. 300.600 (b) of the NCP, the Secretary of the Interior
is designated as trustee for natural resources managed and controlled by the following DOI
Bureaus.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
DOI is a co-trustee with the Colorado agencies listed above for the protection of migratory
birds and federally listed endangered and threatened species. The primary authorities that
direct DOI through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in carrying out
responsibilities related to oil spill response and contingency planning are OPA, Endangered
Species Act, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
The USFWS has provided critical habitat information for federally listed threatened and
endangered species for this Contingency Plan.
During a response, USFWS may provide the following types of technical advice and
assistance: evidence of oil in water, sediments, soil, and organisms; effects on fish, wildlife,
and/or their habitat; exposure pathways; and the potential need to undertake immediate
mitigation actions to prevent or reduce the immediate migration of oil onto or into fish,
wildlife, or their habitat. Because NRDA activities may be similar to those conducted as part
of the response, all sampling and field work conducted by the DOI/USFWS should be
coordinated with the lead response agency through the ICS, and vise versa.
National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Bureau of Reclamation
The National Park Service (NPS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and BOR personnel
have the following responsibilities during a response on or potentially affecting their lands
or facilities: ensure notification of all necessary NPS/BLM/BOR personnel, and establish
a response protocol delineating the roles of their personnel, including coordinating with other
agencies during a response; identify any lands or facilities they administer that potentially
are threatened or affected by the spill and provide the responder with specific information
about those lands, facilities, and associated resources; approve all response actions and issue
Special Use Permits as necessary for any emergency removal operations or cleanup actions
75-00938.00
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 3 Page 9
on NPS/BLM/BOR lands and facilities; participate as a member of UC when their lands or
facilities are affected, and cooperate with other agencies to identify additional resources
needed to address the spill incident; and, if applicable, request that DOI initiate an NRDA
as it relates to resources impacted on NPS/BLM/BOR lands or facilities. The NPS, BLM,
and BOR will provide information about their lands, facilities, and resources as well as offer
technical expertise on grazing, lands, minerals, geology, archaeology, hydrology, reservoir
and water conveyance facility operations, and recreation.
Should it be necessary to initiate NRDA activities, the DOI may serve as Lead Federal
Administrative Trustee for purposes of accessing the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF)
on behalf of all natural resources trustees, in accordance with Section 6002(b) of the OPA,
Sec. 7(A)(1)(B) of E.O. 12777, and NPFC procedures.

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
The types, quantities, and locations of oil and hazardous material present in the Gunnison River Sub-Area
will be identified here to facilitate planning for response to releases of those substances. The focus of this
hazards identification will be on those facilities that have reportable quantities of extremely hazardous
substances (EHSs). EHSs are chemicals identified by EPA on the basis of acute toxicity (40 CFR Part 355;
Appendices C and D). Other hazardous materials stored above threshold inventory reporting quantities will
also be identified. Hazardous waste facilities, and facilities that routinely release regulated toxic chemicals
will be included. Major transportation routes and pipelines will be included as potential locations of
hazardous materials.
4.1
FIXED FACILITY HAZARDS
Hazards are posed by facilities that store hazardous materials and wastes, by abandoned facilities,
and by oil and gas wells.
4.1.1
Facilities with Reportable Quantities of Hazardous Materials
A total of 68 facilities in Delta County, 8 facilities in Gunnison County, 87 facilities in Mesa
County, 3 facilities in Ouray County, and 22 facilities in Montrose County have reported
possession of EHSs to the LEPC. It is likely that some facilities that were required to submit
Tier II forms have failed to do so; therefore, there may be some chemicals and facilities that
are not presented in this analysis.
Table 1 provides the chemical names of all of the known EHSs stored at these facilities, their
chemical formulas, Reportable Quantities (RQ), Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ), and
Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) values. Reporting facilities that store
hazardous materials (including oil) above the threshold reporting quantities are listed in
Appendix B.

Vulnerable zones, the areas that potentially could be affected by releases of hazardous
materials created by the EHS fixed facilities, were modeled using Computer-Aided
Management of Emergency Operations (CAMEO) Windows Version 1.1 software. A worstcase release was modeled for each facility and the results are reported as a vulnerable zone
radius as shown in Table 2.
For CAMEO computer modeling of the worst-case release hazards, the following
assumptions were made: the maximum storage quantity was released; liquids were stored
at, or below, ambient temperature; the total quantity of the substance was released in one
minute; wind speed was 3.4 miles per hour and the atmospheric stability was F (most stable);
terrain was flat, level, and unobstructed; and the level of concern (LOC) was one-tenth the
IDLH value (when the IDLH data is not available, the threshold limit value-ceiling (TLV-C)
will be used).
The results of the hazardous zone calculation for all EHSs stored at the identified fixed
facilities are provided in Table 2. If the hazardous zone radius of a given incident is greater
than ten miles, limitations of CAMEO will prevent the model from predicting its size; the
model will state only that the hazardous zone is greater than ten miles. The modeling
scenarios do not take storage configurations into account.

4.1.2
Hazardous Waste Facilities
Information was obtained from EPA’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Information
System (RCRIS), which lists hazardous waste notifiers in the Gunnison River Sub-Area
(Appendix C). This database may be accessed online through EPA’s Environfacts
Warehouse web site at <www.epa.gov/enviro>. The RCRIS Notifiers list classifies these
notifiers as either generators; transporters; treatment, storage, and disposal facilities;
burner/blenders; or recyclers of hazardous wastes. Information was received for 18 RCRIS
Notifiers in Delta County, 2 RCRIS Notifiers in Gunnison County, 152 RCRIS Notifiers in
Mesa County, 7 RCRIS Notifiers in Ouray County, and no RCRIS Notifiers in Montrose
County.
4.1.3
Abandoned Facilities (CERCIS Sites)
The CERCLA Information System (CERCLIS) database lists twenty-five CERCLIS sites
in the Gunnison River Sub-Area. Appendix D lists the CERCLIS sites. One of these sites
is in Delta County, there are none in Gunnison County, twenty-one are in Mesa County,
three are in Ouray County, and there are none in Montrose County.
4.1.4
Active Oil and Gas Wells
Most of the oil and gas production in the Gunnison River Sub-Area occurs in Mesa County.
According to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, there are 362 wells in
Mesa County, with less than four percent of these wells producing oil. Gunnison County has
13 wells, Delta County has 1 well, and neither Montrose County nor Ouray County has any.
4.1.5
Oil Storage Facilities
Oil storage facilities in the planning area have been identified by EPA as SPCC subject
facilities, indicating they have the capacity to store oil in aboveground storage tanks in
quantities greater than 660 gallons in one tank or 1,350 gallons total. Twelve of these
facilities are located in Grand Junction, Colorado. Additional SPCC subject facilities may
be present in the planning region that are not identified on the EPA SPCC Tracker database.
Two facilities in the Gunnison River planning area have submitted a Facility Response Plan
as required under OPA Section 311(j)(5). The facilities are the Grand Junction Rail Yard Conoco, Grand Junction, Colorado and the Union Pacific East Yard, Grand Junction,
Colorado. Facility Response Plans are available for each of these companies and should be
consulted in event of a release of oil.
4.1.6
Risk Management Plan Facilities
Facilities that store large quantities of listed chemicals that could be released to the air must
prepare a Risk Management Plan as required under 40 CFR Part 68. Contact information
for facilities in the Gunnison River planning area that have prepared and submitted Risk
Management Plans to EPA is provided in Appendix B.

TRANSPORTATION HAZARDS
Various modes of transportation including highways, railroads, and pipelines are utilized for the
shipment of hazardous materials through Gunnison, Montrose, Delta, Ouray, and Mesa Counties,
Colorado. A listing of the major roads of the Gunnison River Sub-Area is included in Appendix E.
4.2.1
Primary Highways
Several major highways pass through the area. U.S. Interstate Highway 70 (I-70), U.S.
Highway 6 (US 6), U.S. Highway 50 (US 50), U.S. Highway 550 (US 550), State Highway
65 (SH 65), State Highway 141 (SH 141), State Highway 92 (SH 92), State Highway 133
(SH 133), State Highway 149 (SH 149), State Highway 90 (SH 90), State Highway 330 (SH
330), State Highway 135 (SH 135), and State Highway 62 (SH 62) are the primary truck
routes for hazardous material shipments through the area.
I-70 is a main east/west thoroughfare through the western United States, running from St.
Louis, Missouri, to western Utah. In the Gunnison River Sub-Area, I-70 enters northern
Mesa County near De Beque, and follows the Colorado River west into Utah. Quantities of
specific hazardous materials carried via I-70 are not well documented, but state highway
officials have stated that shipment of any hazardous material, including radioactive waste,
can be expected along this route.
In the Gunnison River Sub-Area, US 50 begins south of Grand Junction in Mesa County and
heads south-southeast through Mesa, Delta, and Montrose Counties along the Gunnison and
Uncompahgre Rivers. At Montrose, Montrose County, US 50 turns east and eventually
follows the Gunnison River east through Gunnison County to Monarch Pass. Quantities of
specific hazardous materials carried via US 50 are not well documented, but state highway
officials have stated that shipment of any hazardous material, including radioactive waste,
can be expected along this route.
US 550 begins in Montrose, Montrose County, follows the Uncompaghre River south and
exits Ouray County at Red Mountain Pass. Materials shipped along this highway are not
well documented, but state highway officials have stated that shipment of any hazardous
material, including radioactive waste, can be expected along this route.
Several other state highways connect the designated hazardous materials routes with the
smaller communities. Presumably hazardous materials are occasionally transported on these
routes for delivery to these communities.
A listing of the major roads of the Gunnison River Sub-Area is included in Appendix E.
4.2.2
Railroads
Union Pacific (UP) and Burlington Northern and Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroads conduct
railroad operations in the Gunnison River Sub-Area. The Federal Railroad Administration
has identified 260 categories of hazardous materials, including radioactive materials, and 16
categories of hazardous waste transported on UP in 1996. The hazard classification
categories and the yearly total quantities per category per county are shown in Table 3.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SPILL EVENTS
The tendency of a facility to have chronic or significant releases is a direct indication of the risk it
may pose. Historical spill data can provide vital information when estimating the likelihood of a
release from a specific facility or facility type. Historical spill data can also be used to identify
transportation routes where accidents frequently occur. Emergency Response Notification System
(ERNS) data, accessed through EPA, provide information on chemical spills and releases.
According to the ERNS database, a total of 24 spills were reported in Delta County, 50 spills were
reported in Gunnison County, 206 spills were reported in Mesa County, 50 spills were reported in
Montrose County, and 4 spills were reported in Ouray County from January 1980 to December 2000.
Although releases involving oil are the most common, releases of other hazardous materials have
occurred. It is probable that many releases below reportable quantities have occurred, but were not
reported. It is also possible that some releases that should have been reported were not.

NATURAL HAZARDS
It is important to take into account natural hazards in the Gunnison River Sub-Area that may cause
hazardous material spills or releases. Floods, earthquakes, wildfires, landslides, and avalanches are
potential natural disasters in the area.
High stream flow (potential flooding) originating from rapid snow melt, torrential rainfall, and ice
jams in the Gunnison River may occur in early spring in the area. Most flooding occurs when warm
temperatures cause a rapid snow melt in conjunction with extensive rainfall. Torrential rainfall has
occasionally resulted in flash flooding. Pipelines, highways, and railroads that cross or are adjacent
to the Gunnison River, or its tributaries, could be damaged by flash floods, resulting in a hazardous
material release. Average and maximum flow rates at specified U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
gauging stations in the Gunnison River are provided in Appendix F. Stream and river flow rates are
available from the USGS through the Internet at <http://water.usgs.gov>.
Earthquakes pose a minimal risk as the area is not located near a major fault. Mesa, Grand,
Montrose, Gunnison, and Ouray Counties are within Seismic Zone 1 in the FEMA National
Earthquake Hazard Program scheme of seismic zonation.
Wildfires occasionally occur following dry seasons and are initiated either by people or by lightning.
Wildfires can cover significant amounts of terrain and would be intensified by releases of most
hazardous materials. Fire stresses on hazardous material storage vessels can result in a boiling liquid
expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) resulting in widespread physical and environmental damage.
Landslides pose a risk to the area. Landslides may be caused by earthquakes or torrential rainfall on
unstable slopes. Landslides may impact communities and may damage facilities, pipelines, rail lines,
and highways, resulting in the release of hazardous materials.
Avalanches are also a feasible natural hazard to this region. Avalanches can potentially affect
railroad and surface road traffic throughout Mesa, Delta, Montrose, Grand, and Ouray counties.
Avalanches may damage power lines, pipelines, rail lines, and highways. An avalanche could
directly cause the release of a hazardous substance or it could prevent responders access to a
hazardous substance release area.

VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS
The Vulnerability Analysis identifies populations, environmental resources and wildlife that would be
vulnerable in the event of an oil or hazardous material incident. Vulnerable populations include towns,
schools, hospitals, senior citizens’ centers, nursing homes, and day care facilities. Vulnerable environmental
resources and wildlife include threatened and endangered species, wildlife habitats, lakes, waterways, and
drinking water inlets.
5.1
HIGH DENSITY POPULATIONS
Information concerning population characteristics of the Gunnison River Sub-Area was obtained
from the DOC, Bureau of the Census, 1990 Census of Population and Housing. According to the
1990 census, the total population for Delta, Gunnison, Mesa, Montrose, and Ouray Counties is
151,116. The largest population centers in Delta County are Delta with 3,789 residents and Orchard
City with 2,218 residents. The largest population center in Gunnison County is Gunnison with 4,636
residents. The largest population centers in Mesa County include Grand Junction with 29,034
residents and Clifton with 12,671 residents. The largest population centers in Montrose County are
Montrose with 8,854 residents and Olathe with 1,263 residents. The largest population center in
Ouray County is Ouray with 644 residents. See Appendix G for specific county and city population
information.
The breakdown of population by age group is similar for all counties. Approximately 5 to 7 percent
of the people are less than 5 years old, 18 to 21 percent are 5 to 15 years old, 46 to 51 percent are 18
to 54 years old, and 21 to 31 percent are 54 years and older.
5.2
SENSITIVE HUMAN POPULATIONS
The young, the aged, the ill, and the disabled are considered to be sensitive human populations.
Schools, hospitals, day care centers/preschools, and nursing homes could be particularly at risk
should a release occur.
Ten hospitals serve residents of the Gunnison River Sub-Area. See Appendix B in the ERAP for
hospital information.
There are fifty-three nursing homes in the Gunnison River Sub-Area. Ten are in Delta County, one
is in Gunnison County, thirty-four are in Mesa County, seven are in Montrose County, and one is in
Ouray County. The names and locations of the identified nursing homes are listed in Appendix B
in the ERAP.
There are 110 schools for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. There are 19 schools in Delta
County, 11 in Gunnison County, 57 in Mesa County, 21 in Montrose County, and 2 in Ouray County.
See Appendix C in the ERAP for a list of schools.
There are 75 child care and preschool facilities listed in Appendix D in the ERAP. Several of these
are 24-hour facilities.

5.3
ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS
Environmentally sensitive areas that are typically evaluated in contingency plans include wetlands,
national and state parks, critical habitat for endangered species, wild and natural research areas,
marine sanctuaries, estuarine reserves, conservation areas, preserves, wildlife areas, wildlife refuges,
wild and scenic rivers, recreational areas, national forests, federal and state lands that are research
areas, heritage program areas, land trust areas, and historical archeological areas. Those areas that
were identified in the Gunnison River Sub-Area are listed below.
5.3.1
Waterways
Environmentally sensitive areas such as lakes, rivers, creeks, and reservoirs were identified
from the EPA’s “Surf your Watershed” database (<www.epa.gov>) and from the Colorado
Atlas and Gazetteer, DeLorme Mapping. The surface water runoff of Delta, Gunnison,
Mesa, Montrose, and Ouray counties flows into either the Uncompaghre River or the
Gunnison River. Residential water intakes may be located around these waterways.
Municipal water intakes are identified in the ERAP. A list of the sensitive environmental
areas and resources in the Gunnison River Sub-Area is provided in Appendix E of the ERAP.
5.3.2
Wetlands
Wetlands are sensitive habitats often found near rivers, streams, creeks, lakes, or other water
sources. Wetlands are delineated by the USACE based on three criteria: hydrology, specific
soil types, and specific plant species. If these three criteria are met the area is defined as a
wetland. As such, these areas are protected by the CWA. Wetlands often provide habitat
for specially adapted plant and animal species that may not exist in other environments.
5.3.3
Fish and Wildlife
The USFWS and the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) supplied information
concerning the endangered and threatened species located in the Gunnison River Sub-Area.
The list of species is in Appendix F of the ERAP, and is followed by a breakdown of habitat
and location for each listed species. The USFWS is authorized to enforce the provisions of
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in the protection of all migratory birds listed in the Act.
There are 11 federally listed threatened or endangered species in the Gunnison River SubArea. The list of species is in Appendix F of the ERAP and is followed by a breakdown of
habitat and location for each listed species. The threatened or endangered fishes and birds
could be affected by oil or other hazardous materials discharged into the rivers or waterways
of the Gunnison River Sub-Area.
In addition to the federally listed species, there is a state listing of sensitive, threatened, or
endangered species. The CNHP Endangered Species List indicates the endangered,
threatened, and candidate species that live in the Gunnison River Sub-Area. Numerous
Federal and State protected species, which may occur in the Gunnison River Sub-Area
riparian areas, may be affected by oil or other hazardous materials discharged in these areas.

RISK ANALYSIS
The types and quantities of hazardous materials, and their proximity to sensitive populations and
environments, determine the severity of a potential spill. Considering the likelihood and potential severity
for a given hazard allows for an estimation of risk, and provides a means of prioritizing response planning
and accident prevention efforts. A risk analysis estimates the likelihood that a spill will occur, estimates the
severity of the subsequent effects of a spill, identifies populations or resources that are vulnerable to the spill,
and establishes a ranking of risk for the identified hazards. Technical Guidance for Hazards Analysis:
Emergency Planning for Extremely Hazardous Substances, developed by EPA, FEMA, and DOT (December
1987), will be used in analyzing risks for the Gunnison River Sub-Area Contingency Plan.
A risk analysis score card was completed for each EHS facility identified in Section 4 of this Plan, and a
ranking of risk will be made. These rankings were based upon the likelihood of an incident, the hazards
associated with the incident, and the number of sensitive areas that could be affected. By multiplying the
likelihood of a release by the effects of a release, a risk factor score was determined for the selected hazards.
The total number of vulnerable areas that could be affected by a release will be added to the risk factor score
to obtain the total risk value. For a better estimate of the likelihood of a spill, the facility safety practices,
storage configurations, and processes should be observed first-hand. Score cards are available for review at
EPA Region VIII offices. Table 4 lists facilities in order of Total Risk Value from highest risk to lowest risk.

CREDIBLE WORST-CASE SCENARIO
The Credible Worst-Case Scenario identifies the incident that represents the greatest threat and highest risk
to human populations and environmental resources and habitats. To develop the Credible Worst-Case
Scenario, the Hazards Identification, Vulnerability Analysis, and the Risk Analysis was completed in as much
detail as possible. This information was then used to evaluate the worst credible scenarios that could occur.
The narrative of the Credible Worst-Case Scenario should identify the risks associated with a likely release
of oil or a hazardous material, while highlighting the emergency response capabilities.
It is impossible to know with absolute certainty that these scenarios are the actual worst situations that could
occur in the Gunnison River Sub-Area. Although the information used to select the Credible Worst-Case
Scenario is as complete and concise as possible, it is not comprehensive. Thus, the Credible Worst-Case
Scenario may be an understatement of the actual “worst-case” that may occur in the Gunnison River SubArea.
7.1
SELECTION OF THE CREDIBLE WORST-CASE SCENARIO
In selecting the Credible Worst-Case Scenario, special consideration was given to fixed facilities
where EHSs are used, handled, or stored; heavily used hazardous materials transportation routes;
environmentally sensitive areas; potentially affected human populations and environmental resources;
and local responder training and preparedness. An assessment of the towns and the amounts of EHSs
was performed. One credible worst-case scenario was chosen: a tanker truck incident involving the
release of anhydrous ammonia on US 50, near the Blue Mesa Reservoir. The site was chosen
because of the proximity of the highway to the Blue Mesa Reservoir and the Gunnison River.
7.2
DESCRIPTION OF THE CREDIBLE WORST-CASE SCENARIO
7.2.1
Accident Scenario
On June 20, 2000, at 1 p.m., the ambient temperature in Gunnison, Colorado, is 60° F and
the winds are from the southwest at 3 miles per hour. The sky is mostly cloudy and the
humidity is 100%. There is a severe thunderstorm threat issued for the afternoon and heavy
rain has already begun to fall.
A tanker truck carrying 11,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia is proceeding west along
US 50, through the Curecanti National Recreation Area, along the north side of the Blue
Mesa Reservoir. The tanker truck enters a sharp curve where a large puddle of water has
collected. The tanker truck hydroplanes, hits an oncoming tanker truck carrying
approximately 8,000 gallons of diesel fuel, and flips onto its side, causing a two-inch valve
on the ammonia tank to rupture and violently vent vapor. The truck carrying diesel fuel is
also compromised and begins leaking diesel fuel onto the ground. A witness to the accident
calls 911. Runoff from the rain is flowing downhill toward the Gunnison River. The river
is flowing at 1,500 cubic feet per second (about 2 miles per hour).
Law enforcement (CSP, the Gunnison County Sheriff's Office, and local police departments),
Gunnison HAZMAT Team, EMS, and Gunnison Volunteer Fire Department (GVFD),
Curecanti Park Rangers and BOR are notified of the release by emergency dispatch at 1:05
p.m. All parties immediately grab the Gunnison River Sub-Area Contingency Plan for quick
reference for responder telephone numbers and river access locations downstream of the
accident. Curecant Park Rangers and the Gunnison County Sheriff immediately mobilize
75-00938.00
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 7 Page 2
toward the accident site. The Gunnison HAZMAT Team, EMS, and the GVFD are delayed
because they are attending a hazardous materials training session in Grand Junction.
Mobilization time for CSP and BOR is approximately two hours after notification of the spill.
The Gunnison County Sheriff is the first responder to arrive at the accident site about 25
minutes after the accident. He is greeted by a fisherman who witnessed the accident and is
now experiencing a burning in his lungs. Assessing the situation, the Gunnison County
Sheriff immediately calls the NRC and the CDPHE and initiates the ICS. The NRC contacts
the EPA OSC who in turn notifies federal natural resource trustees, and the RRT is placed
on call. The Gunnison HAZMAT Team and EMS arrive on the accident scene approximately
two hours later (two and one half hours after the accident). The GVFD responders arrive
at nearly the same time, and a UC is formed as previously established in planning exercises.
The EPA OSC sets out from Denver, Colorado, arrives on site about eight hours after the
spill, and begins participation in the UC.
7.2.2
Vulnerable Populations and Resources
The vulnerable populations in the Gunnison River planning area downstream are identified
using Appendices B through F of the Emergency Response Action Plan for the Gunnison
River planning area. In order to protect critical habitat and species, the DOI initiates a
response of its personnel from the USFWS and the National Park Service. The local
representatives from these agencies, along with representatives of state resource
management agencies, assess the situation and assist the responders in the clean up of the
impacted areas downstream. They also make recommendations to assist in selecting
additional booming locations to protect any threatened and endangered species, their
critical habitat, and other sensitive resources. Injured or contaminated wildlife and
waterfowl would be removed for rehabilitation. Endangered fish are affected; the known
habitat of the Colorado Pikeminnow and the Razorback Sucker includes the Gunnison River
and it is possible some numbers exist in the area. The CSP send units upstream to warn
rafters to exit the river immediately, to the reservoir to warn fisherman to exit the reservoir
immediately, and throughout the recreation area to warn campers and hikers to stay clear
of the area. Additionally, US 50 has to be closed and traffic rerouted.
Affected Populations within one hour after the release – The anhydrous ammonia release
was modeled using the software program Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres
(ALOHA). The most vulnerable area for the air pathway is the surrounding land to the
northeast, which includes much of the Curecanti National Recreation Area. Two minutes
after the crash, the ammonia concentration in the air within one-hundred feet of the truck
is 75,000 ppm (250 times greater than the IDLH, which is 300 ppm) and in ten minutes the
ammonia concentration in the air is 126,000 ppm (400 times the IDLH). In 40 minutes the
IDLH concentration has reached 1.3 miles downwind and the front edge of the plume has
reached 3 miles downwind. Due to variability of the wind direction, the potential plume
could affect the area within a 360-degree arc. It takes the Gunnison HAZMAT team thirty
minutes (three hours after the initial release) to stop the ammonia leak and another 30
minutes (three and one-half hours after the initial release) to build a containment berm for
the diesel fuel, with the help of the GVFD.
75-00938.00
Revision: 4
Date: 07/2001
Section 7 Page 3
The diesel fuel reached the Blue Mesa Reservoir only a few minutes after the accident and
began to spread over the surface of the reservoir. It takes the Gunnison HAZMAT team
approximately one hour to set up an initial boom across the reservoir near the US 50 bridge
over the reservoir.
After two hours, CSP is on site and in charge of the response. The need for additional
response equipment, such as boats, a suction skimmer, additional absorbant, generators,
and lights is being met through cooperation with responders from Montrose and Crested
Butte.
After five hours, the cleanup efforts are under way but the concentration of ammonia vapors
around the trucks is still above the LOC. Crews outfitted with absorbant booms and pads
are dispatched to recover oil that has collected along the shoreline of the reservoir. Due to
the volume of the spill and saturation of the initial boom, additional GVFD responders have
set up secondary booming locations at the downstream end of the reservoir and across the
arms of the reservoir.
After eight hours, the EPA OSC is on site and responders at the accident site are finally able
to approach the trucks in level D personal protective equipment (PPE), since ammonia
fumes have dissipated. Responders for the trucking company are now on site assisting with
cleanup and removal of the trucks, and US 50 is reopened.
Forty-eight hours after the spill, there are no ammonia vapors present in the air, but the
release of ammonia and diesel into the reservoir has resulted in a large fish kill and concern
for the quality of the drinking water coming from the reservoir. However, resources
continue to be deployed as pockets of diesel fuel are located, contained, and recovered and
an attempt at quantifying contamination in the reservoir is made. Some unnecessary
resources are demobilized.
7.2.3
Credible Worst-case Scenario Conclusions
Recent response training involving the deployment of absorbant booms facilitated the rapid
response of local responders, particularly GVFD. The relatively remote location of the spill
presented access difficulties, although reservoir access locations were delineated ahead of
time. The timing of the incident was fortunate in that flows on the Gunnison River were
relatively low. Communication between most agencies was efficient and timely.

COST RECOVERY
All actions taken during a hazardous materials incident should be carefully documented so that sufficient and
accurate information is available to support the response and recovery operations and to recover the cost of
these operations. In addition, documentation should be of sufficient quality and detail to prove the source
and circumstances of the incident, to identify the RP, and to determine the impact or potential impact to
public health and/or the environment. Documentation may take the form of written, graphic, audio, visual,
or other media and should include location of the incident; time, date, and duration of the spill; amount and
type of material spilled or released; source and cause of the incident; name of the RP; description of the
material released; response actions taken; resources impacted or threatened; status of response and cleanup;
and accurate, detailed accounting of all public costs incurred.
The following procedures may be utilized to document an incident: Record all relevant response activities
and costs in daily or personal logs. Logs should be kept in bound notebooks for evidential purposes. Use
photographic documentation to depict the source of the release, pathway of the discharge, and affected
populations, biota, soils, and other resources. Collect samples of the released material, and material from the
suspected source according to the sampling and chain-of-custody protocol established by EPA, the National
Enforcement Investigations Center (NEIC) Manual, and NEIC Policy and Procedures. Gather written
statements of witnesses identifying the source of the release.
Whenever possible, the RP should bear all financial costs associated with a specific oil or hazardous materials
incident. When the RP is unidentified, unwilling, or unable to provide adequate response, the responsibility
for taking prompt action to protect public health and the environment will fall on a public agency. Some
local-, state-, and federal-level funding sources are available to response agencies. Generally, funding from
local government sources should be accessed first. State and federal funding sources may be accessed when
local funding is not available. Both state and federal funding sources require prior approval and extensive
documentation for use.
Cost recovery regulations and forms are provided in Appendix I. Cost recovery information is also available
on the Internet at <http://www.epa.gov/oerrpage/superfund/programs/er/lgr> for hazardous materials incidents
and at <http://www.uscg.mil/hq/npfo/claims> for oil spill incidents.
8.1
Federal Statutes and Regulations
The OPA amends the CWA Section 311 to enhance federal authority to respond to oil spills, increase
penalties for spills, expand the federal response organization, and augment preparedness and response
activities. In particular, the amended CWA Section 311 defines the liability and penalties for RPs
in addition to delineating the preparedness requirements for storage facilities.
The amended CWA Section 311 extends the liability of RPs to include damage to natural resources;
damage to property; loss of revenues, profits, or earning capacity; and costs during or after oil
removal activities. Existing spill compensation and liability funds are consolidated into the OSLTF
to pay for removal costs and damages not recovered from RPs. The amended CWA increases civil
penalties for violations resulting from discharges of oil or hazardous substances.

TRAINING
Facility owners or operators must ensure that all private response personnel, volunteers, or casual
laborers they employ are trained to meet at least the OSHA standards for emergency response
operations promulgated in 29 CFR 1910.120. These requirements, commonly referred to as the
Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) regulations, were established
to ensure the health and safety of personnel employed in hazardous substance response and cleanup
operations.
In general, personnel must be provided with adequate training to perform their jobs safely. This
includes the fundamentals of site safety that apply generally to personnel working at hazardous waste
sites. It further includes safety conscious operational training for the particular job (e.g., methods
of safe boom deployment from a boat). An ongoing training program to reinforce and build upon
previous training is also required (i.e., annual refresher training). It is not necessary to conduct all
training in one block of time, or restrict it to a single training event.
OSHA’s Hazardous Waste Operations Standard (29 CFR 1910.120) sets basic requirements for the
training of personnel. These requirements are dependent upon the operations (e.g., general site
operations, emergency response operations, and post-emergency response operations); on the
individual’s duties (e.g., first responders, general site workers, supervisors, special short-term
operations, technicians, etc.); and on the degree of exposure (e.g., minimal exposure, unknown
exposures, etc.).
The following levels of federally designated training are identified;
First Responder Awareness - for individuals who are likely to witness or discover a hazardous
substance release and who have been trained to initiate an emergency response sequence by notifying
the proper authorities of the release. They are qualified to take no further action beyond notifying
the authorities of the release.
First Responder Operational - for individuals who respond to releases or potential releases of
hazardous substances as part of the initial response to a site for the purpose of protecting nearby
persons, property, or the environment from the effects of the release. They are trained to respond in
a defensive fashion without actually trying to stop the release. They are qualified to contain the
release from a safe distance, keep it from spreading, and prevent exposures.
Incident Commander - for the person responsible for all decisions relating to the management of the
incident.
Technician - for individuals who meet the requirements for the First Responder Operational Level
and have received additional training so that they can respond in a more aggressive offensive mode
to actually stop the release at the source.
Specialist - for individuals who meet the requirements of the Technician Level and have received
additional specialized training.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION STANDARDS
Government employees and contract personnel involved in oil spill response activities must comply
with all applicable worker health and safety laws and regulations. The OSHA regulates the safety
and health for employees involved in cleanup operations at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. The
regulations also apply to both emergency response and post-emergency cleanup for hazardous
substance spills. The definition of hazardous substances used in these regulations is much broader
than CERCLA, encompassing all CERCLA hazardous substances, Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous wastes, and all DOT hazardous materials listed in 49 CFR Part 172.
Therefore, most oil materials and oil spill responses are covered by the OSHA regulations. The rules
cover employee protection during initial site characterization and analysis, monitoring activities,
materials handling activities, training, and emergency response. All personnel involved in the
cleanup of an uncontrolled hazardous waste site must be trained according to 29 CFR 1910.120.
9.4
SITE SAFETY
A site-specific health and safety plan as outlined in 29 CFR 1910.120(b)(4) will be prepared for
emergency responses to oil and hazardous material incidents. The Health and Safety Plan must
include a hazard analysis for each task; employee training requirements, personal protective
equipment (PPE) to be used by personnel for each task, medical surveillance requirements, frequency
and types of air monitoring and personnel monitoring, environmental sampling techniques and
instrumentation, site control measures, and decontamination procedures.
A pre-entry briefing will be held prior to initiating any site activity and periodically thereafter as
frequently as required to ensure employee knowledge and assent to the Health and Safety Plan. The
plan shall be reviewed by the site health and safety supervisor. Additional requirements are specified
in 29 CFR 1910.120.

DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS
Definitions contained herein, unless otherwise specified, are taken from the National Contingency Plan (NCP)
Section 300.5 (“Definitions”), Section 1001 of the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), 33 U.S.C. Section 2701
(“Definitions”), and Section 5 (“Definitions”) of the Region VIII Area Contingency Plan (ACP).
Area Committee: As defined by Sections 311 (a) (18) and (j) (4) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as
amended by OPA, means the entity appointed by the President consisting of members from federal, state, and
local agencies with responsibilities that include preparing an ACP for the area designated by the President.
The Area Committee may include ex-officio (i.e., non-voting) members (e.g., industry and local interest
groups). In Region VIII, the regional Response Team also serves as the Area Committee. In the designated
areas of Region VIII, sub-area committees consist of federal, state, and local agencies, as well as industry and
local interest groups as ex-officio members.
Area Contingency Plan: As defined by Sections 311 (a) (19) and (j) (4) of CWA, as amended by OPA,
means the Plan prepared by an Area Committee, that in conjunction with the NCP, shall address the removal
of a discharge including a worst-case discharge and the mitigation or prevention of a substantial threat of such
a discharge from a vessel, offshore facility, or onshore facility operating in or near an area designated by the
President. In Region VIII, the Area Contingency Plan has been combined with the Regional Contingency
Plan.
Contingency Plan: (1) A document used by federal, state, and local agencies to guide their planning and
response procedures regarding spills of oil, hazardous substances, or other emergencies; (2) a document used
by industry as a response plan to spills of oil, hazardous substances, or other emergencies occurring upon
their transportation vehicle, or at their facilities.
Discharge: As defined by Section 311 (a) (2) of CWA, includes, but is not limited to, any spilling, leaking,
pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping of oil, but excludes discharges in compliance with a
permit under Section 402 of CWA.
Drinking water supply: As defined by Section 101 (7) of the Comprehensive Environmental Recovery,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), means any raw or finished water source that is or may be used
by a public water system (as defined in the Safe Drinking Water Act) or as drinking water by one or more
individuals.
Economically sensitive areas: Those areas of explicit economic importance to the public that due to their
proximity to potential spill sources may require special protection. Economically sensitive areas include, but
are not limited to, potable and industrial water intakes, locks and dams, and public and private marinas.
Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS): The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
maintains an ERNS database that includes reports made to the National Response Center regarding accidental
releases of hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities. Reporting requirements are set by Section
304 of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA).
Environment: As defined by section 101(8) of CERCLA, means the navigable waters, the waters of the
contiguous zone, and the ocean waters of which the natural resources are under the exclusive management
authority of the United States under the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act; and any other
surface water, groundwater, drinking water supply, land surface and subsurface strata, or ambient air within
the United States or under the jurisdiction of the United States.

Environmentally sensitive area: An especially delicate or sensitive natural resource that requires protection
in the event of a pollution incident. Guidance on designations of areas considered to be sensitive can be
found in the “Guidance for Facility and Vessel Response Plans: Fish and Wildlife and Sensitive
Environments,” published by Department of Commerce (DOC) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS): The list of extremely hazardous substances is found in Section
355 of SARA. The list currently contains about 360 chemicals. Because of their extremely toxic properties,
these chemicals were chosen by Congress to provide an initial focus for chemical emergency planning.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA): Responsible for the coordination of all civil
emergency planning, management, mitigation and assistance for the federal government. FEMA can also
provide additional financial relief when state and local funds are inadequate.
Federal On-Scene Coordinator: The federal official at an incident scene responsible for coordinating
response activities.
Groundwater: As defined by section 101(12) of CERCLA, means water in a saturated zone or stratum
beneath the surface of land or water.
Hazardous Chemicals: These chemicals are defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
and its promulgated regulations as chemicals that represent a physical or health hazard. Inventories of these
chemicals may be subject to reporting requirements if a facility manufactures, processes, or stores them in
certain amounts. Per sections 311-312 of SARA, if they are stored at the threshold quantity or above,
inventories of these chemicals, and material safety data sheets, must be submitted to the Local Emergency
Planning Committee (LEPC), the local fire department, and the State Emergency Response Commission
(SERC).
Hazardous Materials: In this analysis, “hazardous materials” refers generally to hazardous substances,
petroleum (oil), natural gas, synthetic gas, acutely toxic chemicals, and other toxic chemicals. This definition
was agreed upon by the National Response Team (NRT) for use in the Hazardous Materials Emergency
Planning Guide (NRT-1 1987). EHSs, hazardous chemicals, hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, toxic
chemicals, and oil all fall within this definition.
Hazardous Substances: These substances are defined under Sections 101(14) and 102(a) of the CERCLA
(Superfund). The current list contains about 720 substances. Per Section 304 of the SARA, releases of these
chemicals above certain amounts must be reported to the National Response Center (NRC), who will see that
they are included in the ERNS.
Hazardous Wastes: Hazardous wastes are defined in Section 1004(5) of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) as a “solid waste, or combination of solid wastes, which, because of its quantity,
concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics may: 1) cause, or significantly contribute
to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness or 2) pose
a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored,
transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed.” Hazardous wastes can be listed as characteristic.
Characteristic hazardous wastes are classified according to four characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity,
reactivity, or extraction procedure (tendency to be leached) toxicity.

Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH): The National Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) defines IDLH as a condition “that poses a threat of exposure to airborne contaminants when
that exposure is likely to cause death or immediate or delayed permanent adverse health effects or prevent
escape from such an environment.”
Inland waters: Those waters of the United States in the inland zone, waters of the Great Lakes, Lake
Champlain, and specified ports and harbors on inland rivers.
Inland zone: The environment inland of the coastal zone excluding the Great Lakes, Lake Champlain, and
specified ports and harbors on inland rivers. The term inland zone delineates an area of federal
responsibilities for response actions. Precise boundaries are determined by EPA/U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
agreements and identified in Regional Contingency Plans (RCPs).
Level of Concern (LOC): For purposes of this analysis, LOCs are defined as the concentrations of an EHS
in air above which there may be serious irreversible health effects or death, as a result of a single exposure
for a relatively short period of time. Pursuant to guidelines provided by the National Response Team, for this
analysis the LOC has been estimated by using one-tenth of the IDLH level published by NIOSH.
Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC): A group of local representatives appointed by the SERC
to prepare a comprehensive emergency plan for the local emergency planning district, and carry out all
requirements of SARA Title III of 1986. Among their responsibilities are to develop an emergency plan to
prepare for and respond to chemical emergencies, receive and keep track of hazardous chemical inventories
submitted by local facilities, to make information available to the public, and to serve as a focal point in the
community for information related to emergency preparedness for chemical emergencies.
National Earthquake Hazard Program - A group of agencies including the FEMA, the National Science
Foundation, the United States Geological Survey (USGS), and the National Institute of Standards and
Technology, developing building standards to ensure structural integrity during an earthquake. The standards
are based on the risk to a geographical area of an earthquake with a certain intensity. The geographical areas
are based on seismic zones ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 being the lowest hazard level and 4 the highest.
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH): The NIOSH was created to develop and
recommend health and safety standards. Acting under the authority of the OSHA of 1970 (Public Law 91596), NIOSH develops and periodically revises recommended exposure limits for hazardous substances or
conditions in the workplace.
National Pollution Funds Center: As defined by Section 7 of Executive Order 12777, the National
Pollution Funds Center (NPFC) is the entity established by the Secretary of the Department of Transportation
whose function is the administration of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF). This includes access to
the OSLTF by federal agencies, states, and designated trustees for removal actions and initiation of natural
resource damage assessments, as well as claims for removal costs and damages.
Natural Resource Trustees: Government officials who are to act on behalf of the public as trustees for
natural resources.
Natural Resources: Land, fish, wildlife, biota, air, water, groundwater, drinking water, and other such
resources managed by, held in trust by, or otherwise controlled by the United States, any State or local
government, or Indian tribe.

Navigable waters: As defined by 40 CFR 110.1, the term navigable waters includes: (a) All waters that are
currently used, were used in the past, or may be susceptible to use in interstate or foreign commerce,
including all waters that are subject to the ebb and flow of the tide; (b) Interstate waters, including interstate
wetlands; (c) All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams, mud flats, sand flats, and wetlands, the
use, degradation, or destruction of which would affect or could affect interstate or foreign commerce
including any such waters: (1) That are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or
other purposes; (2) From which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign
commerce; (3) That are used or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in interstate commerce;
(d) All impoundments of waters otherwise defined as navigable waters under this Section; (e) Tributaries of
waters identified in (a) through (d) of this definition, including adjacent wetlands; and (f) Wetlands adjacent
to waters identified in (a) through (e) of this definition: Provided, that waste treatment systems (other than
cooling ponds meeting the criteria of this paragraph) are not waters of the U.S.
Oil: As defined by Section 311 (a) (1) of CWA, means oil of any kind or in any form, including, but not
limited to, petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, oil refuse, oil mixed with ballast or bilge water, vegetable oil, animal
oil, and oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil.
Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund: The fund established under Section 9509 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (26 U.S.C. Section 9509).
Regional Response Team: The federal response organization (consisting of representatives from selected
federal and state agencies) that acts as a regional body responsible for planning and preparedness before an
oil spill or hazardous substance release and for providing advice and assistance to the EPA On-Scene
Coordinator (OSC) in the event of a major or substantial spill or release.
Resource Conservation and Recovery Information System (RCRIS): A database maintained by EPA that
lists hazardous waste generators, treatment, storage and disposal facilities, and transporters.
Spill of National Significance: A spill that due to its severity, size, location, actual or potential impact on
the public health and welfare or the environment, or the necessary response effort, is so complex that it
requires extraordinary coordination of federal, state, local, and responsible party resources to contain and
clean up the discharge.
State Emergency Response Commission (SERC): A group of officials appointed by the state governor to
implement the provisions of SARA Title III. The SERC coordinates the work of the local emergency
planning committees and reviews local emergency plans annually.
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA): This act was passed in 1986 to reauthorize
the CERCLA. Title III of the act, also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know
Act (EPCRA), was enacted in response to chemical emergency preparedness needs, underscored by a
catastrophic chemical accident in Bhopal, India, and a similar, but less serious accident in Institute, West
Virginia.
Tier II Form: Tier II forms are the most common forms used to provide information on hazardous
chemicals, as required by Sections 311-312 of the SARA. As many as 50,000 chemicals can fit the definition
of a hazardous chemical, and thus, if present above thresholds, must be reported. When completed properly,
Tier II forms include information regarding the amounts, general locations, and the names of specific
chemicals used or stored at a fixed facility.

Threshold Limit Value - Ceiling (TLV-C): A maximum exposure concentration set by the American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). This organization is not a regulatory body, but
publishes exposure guidelines adopted as a standard throughout industry. The average worker should not be
exposed to an agent in concentrations exceeding the ceiling concentrations as severe acute effects could result.
Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ): The list of extremely hazardous substances includes a TPQ for each
substance. If this amount or more of the chemical is present at any manufacturing plant, warehouse, hospital,
farm, small business, or other facility, the owner or operator must notify both the state emergency response
commission and the local emergency planning committee.
Toxic Chemicals: This list is found in association with Section 313 of the SARA. There are more than 320
chemicals or chemical categories on this list, which were selected by Congress primarily because of their
chronic or long-term toxicity. Estimates of releases of these chemicals into all media-air, land, and watermust be reported annually for inclusion in the Toxic Release Inventory.
Toxic Release Inventory (TRI): Section 313 of the SARA requires that certain classes of facilities submit
annual reports on toxic chemical releases to the states and EPA. EPA is required to compile them into a
national computerized database called the TRI. This reporting requirement pertains to the total amount of
chemicals released into the environment-either accidentally or as a result of routine plant operations-or
transport as waste to another location.
Used Oil: Any oil that has been refined from crude oil, or any synthetic oil, that has been used and as a result
of such use is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities.
Vulnerable Zone: For the purposes of this analysis, a vulnerable zone is an estimated geographical area that
may be subject to concentrations of an airborne extremely hazardous substance at levels that could cause
irreversible acute health effects, or death to human populations, within the area following an accidental
release.
Vulnerable Zone Corridor: A vulnerable zone corridor is similar to the vulnerable zone except it is
estimated for a transportation route rather than for a fixed site.
Waste Oil: For the purposes of this Plan, waste oil is any oil that has been refined from crude oil, or any
synthetic oil, that has been physically or chemically contaminated as a result of a spill.
Wetlands: Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency or duration
sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically
adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include playa lakes, swamps, marshes, bogs,
and similar areas such as sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, prairie river overflows, mud flats, and
natural ponds (40 CFR 112.2 (y)).
