Stats. III. HAZARD ANALYSIS (See appendices and attachments for more information) A. County Profile St. Croix County encompasses 729.45 square miles in the West Central region of Wisconsin. There are 41 bodies of water in the County; 10 rivers, 27 streams and 19 lakes (See Figure 3). St. Croix County is located in west- central Wisconsin and is bounded to the west by the St. Croix River and the State of Minnesota. The County encompasses 33 civil divisions consisting of 21 towns, eight villages, and three cities. Portions of an additional city and village also lie within the County. The largest city, Hudson, is also the County seat. St. Croix County is part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area and is experiencing a pronounced transition from a rural to an urban county. St. Croix County is the fastest growing county in Wisconsin according to the 2010 U.S. Census with a 33.6% population increase since 2010 and is projected to remain the fastest growing county until 2030 by the Wisconsin Department of Administration. The reasoning given for these increases is the major highway links in the County provide shorter commutes for workers and encourage growth along Interstate 94 and other major highway corridors. In 2009, according to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, approximately 18,500 St. Croix County residents commuted into Minnesota for employment. Of the estimated 84,503 residents in 2011, approximately 66% reside in one of the fourteen incorporated communities, while 34% reside in the more rural, unincorporated towns. According to Wisconsin Department of Administration estimates, the 2011 St. Croix County population by civil divisions is 21 towns (42,711), Village of Baldwin (3,960), Village of Deer Park (216), Village of ST. CROIX COUNTY COUNTY-WIDE STRATEGIC PLAN 4 February, 2013 Hammond (1,880), Village of North Hudson (3,772), Village of Roberts (1,654), Village of Somerset (2,639), Village of Star Prairie (560), Village of Spring Valley (6), Village of Wilson (184), Village of Woodville (1,348), City of Glenwood City (1,238), City of Hudson (12,790), City of New Richmond (8,389), City of River Falls (3,156). While the incorporated municipalities have more than one-half of the County's residents, these communities are less than 5% of the County's total land base. Though the County is urbanizing and experiencing significant development, agriculture remains the primary land use comprising almost 70% of the land acres in unincorporated areas. Forested areas have been slowly increasing and are the second largest land use with about 15% of the land acres. With the large increases in development and population come corresponding demands on infrastructure and emergency services. The County contains approximately 300 miles of state highways, 350 miles of county highways, and more than 1,385 miles of local roads, 37 miles of inter- state, totaling more than 2,072 miles of road network. There are two airports located in the county: Village of Baldwin and the City of New Richmond. The New Richmond Regional Airport has two runways averaging 122 flights per day. The New Richmond airport has one lighted runway equipped for instrument landing. The Baldwin airport is privately owned and has one runway. St. Croix County also has 66 miles of rail. Canadian National rail runs through the City of New Richmond and the Village of Somerset including the towns of Glenwood, Cylon, Emerald, Erin Prairie, Richmond, and Somerset. Union Pacific Railroad runs through the City of Hudson, Villages of Baldwin, Hammond, Roberts, Wilson, and Woodville including the towns of Baldwin, Hudson, Hammond, Warren, and Springfield. Manufacturing is the principal area of employment followed closely by small businesses and private sector services. There are approximately 1,500 farms in the County, of which 700 are fulltime farms, based on 1997 statistics from the Wisconsin Agricultural Statistical Service. The County is serviced by 4 hospitals; Hudson Hospital in the City of Hudson; Westfield's Hospital in the City of New Richmond; Baldwin Area Medical Center in the Village of Baldwin, and River Falls Area Hospital in the City of River Falls.

(Appendices 1 - 33) F. Most common EHS and Tier II chemicals transported through the county 1. There are approximately 6 different EHS chemicals located in fixed facilities throughout St. Croix County. These substances range in quantities from 18 - 130,000 pounds per facility site (See Subsection E of this hazard analysis for facilities, EHS chemicals and amounts). It is assumed that exposure to all transported hazardous substances in St. Croix County will be the result of road, rail and air transportation and pipeline delivery. Furthermore, it is assumed that the largest over-the- road container does not carry more than 55,000 pounds of a product and that the largest on-rail container carries between 66,800 - 263,000 pounds of product during transport. The 6 different EHS chemicals identified at the fixed facility sites (planning facilities) are transported annually throughout St. Croix County, but the potential exists for the transport of any EHS chemical listed on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's List of Lists or the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Toxic and Hazardous Substances List. These substances are transported in containers that range from 10-ounce agricultural packages to 263,000 pounds of rail car quantities. There are no local ordinances in St. Croix County which mandates specific routes for vehicles carrying EHS chemicals/substances. Thus, EHSs may be transported over any local, state or federal highway for which weight limits are met. IV. NOTIFICATION A. Methods for determining that a release has occurred ST.

CROIX COUNTY COUNTY-WIDE STRATEGIC PLAN 53 February, 2013 Multi-County Commodity Flow Study Project Contractor: Five Bugle Training & Consulting, L.L.C. July 19, 2012 1.0 Introduction Established in 1990 by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act, HMEP grants, provided by the US Department of Transportation, are intended to assist public sector planners and response agencies to fund emergency response planning and training activities. A January 12, 2012 U.S. Department of Transportation memorandum states there have been nearly 165,000 hazardous materials incidents that have occurred in the United States, resulting in more than 2800 injuries, including several fatalities, and about $640 million in damages. The report also states that "The importance of adequately trained responders is highlighted when deficiencies in emergency response contribute to an endangerment of public safety."* The goal of this HMEP study conducted by Five Bugle Training and Consulting for the Wisconsin Counties of Chippewa, Eau Claire, Dunn and St. Croix was to determine 1) the hazardous materials involved in manufacturing processes within the target area (which are also assumed to be transported to the manufacturing facility via either a transportation highway, rail or both); 2) identify other hazardous materials are being transported through the target counties on selected primary highways, 3) evaluate emergency response departments (primarily fire departments) preparedness to respond to a hazardous materials incident, and 4) provide a status update on the Mutual Aid Alarm Box System (MABAS). The commodity flow study consisted of three parts: highway, rail and industrial chemical use as reported through the Tier II reporting process. The highway commodity flow study focused on the observations of commercial vehicles placarded with the United Nations (UN) symbol and number. The survey information is provided in detail in tables within this report. The commodity flow study for rail transportation summarizes information gathered from the Canadian National, Union Pacific and Progressive Railroads. The results of surveys and telephone calls to the first response agencies of the counties in this study reveal that basic training has occurred at most levels, but there is a need and desire for updates in haz-mat awareness, identification and response strategies. To our knowledge, this is the first formal commodity flow study for any of the counties involved. Before this study, raw data existed in various locations throughout the counties, such as on-site at businesses, emergency government offices, and fire department pre-plans. The goal of this report is to bring all the information together in a single source. * U.S. Department of Transportation, Jeffrey B. Guzetti, Assistant Inspector General; January 12, 2012; re: JA-10 1 La Local examples of incidents involving hazardous materials The 2011 LEPC Hazardous Materials Report for Eau Claire County listed a total of 154 incidents that qualified as reportable to the LEPC, including two "other oil or other combustible liquid" spills, 23 hazardous conditions incidents, and 2 "other chemical spill or leak" incidents besides the Hwy 121 incident. Dunn County was notified of 8 spills, 5 being petroleum based products and the other 3 agriculture related, including liquid nitrogen, herbicide and cayenne pepper. Chippewa County reported a lightning strike to an ethanol tank at Ace Ethanol in Stanley, WI and an anhydrous ammonia leak at an agricultural store. An unmeasured, but reportedly small amount of product was released. In addition to these, leaks of gasoline and hydraulic oil were also reported. St. Croix County experienced leaks/spills involving a barrel of an unknown corrosive material, another incident involving small amount of mercury, an LP tanker leaking and a Fed Ex truck leaking an unknown "milky substance and several fuel leaks. Haz Mat teams were not called to respond to these incidents. While not in the study area, an example of an incident in nearby Jackson County, WI involving the release of hazardous occurred in June, 2011 on Hwy 121 near Alma Center in which an estimated 3,321 gallons of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide leaked from totes aboard a semi- trailer as the result of a rollover accident. Although not prevalent, the potential for incidents involving hazardous materials exists and as such, emergency responders must be adequately prepared and trained for the unexpected hazardous material incident and have the appropriate equipment to adequately secure the scene until a higher trained chemical emergency response team arrives. 2 Table of Contents Section 1: Introduction (pg. 1) 1a: Local examples of hazardous material incident response 1b: Table of Contents 1c: EPCRA Tier II; Dept. of Transportation Controlled Hazardous Materials (Tier II) 1d: Highway Placard Observations (HPO) Section 2: Report Narrative (pg.5) Section 3: Tables (pg. 6) 3.1 DOT Hazard Classifications (pg. 7) Process utilized Hazardous Materials and Traffic Observation Results by County Table 1.0 Chippewa County: Tier II (pg. 8) 1.1 HPO (pg. 9) Table 2.0 Eau Claire County: Tier II (pg. 11) 2.1 HPO (pg. 13) Table 3.0 Dunn County: Tier II (pg. 14) 3.1 HPO (pg. 15) Table 4.0 St. Croix County: Tier II (pg. 17) 4.1 HPO (pg. 18) Railroad Transportation Data DOT Classifications of Railroad Transported Hazardous Materials (Pg. 21) Section 4: Fire Department and First Responder Survey Results - Chippewa County (pg. 27) - Eau Claire County (pg. 28) - Dunn County (pg. 29) - St. Croix County (pg. 30) Section 5: Fire Department Survey Observations (pg. 31) Section 6: Law Enforcement and EMS Hazardous Materials Response Training (Pg. 32) Section 7: Mutual Aid Alarm Box System (MABAS) Status (Pg. 33) Section 8: Summary and Recommendations (Pg. 35) Appendix Table A-1 Wisconsin's Regional Haz Mat Response Teams (Pg. 37) Table A-2 Wisconsin's Local (County) Haz Mat Response Teams (Pg. 38) Table A-3 Wisconsin Railroad Map 2011 (Pg. 39) Table A-4 Eau Claire Fire Department MABAS Haz Mat "Box" Card (Pg. 40) 3 1c: EPCRA Tier II Reporting Requirement The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, was implemented with the intent of providing local governments and the public with information about possible chemical hazards in their communities. It also served the purpose of encouraging and supporting emergency planning for responding to chemical accidents, and utilizing the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) to help accomplish these goals. In order to facilitate the flow of information for planning and response purposes, facilities that utilize or store hazardous materials as part of the manufacturing process must document, notify and report information relating to those materials per requirements specific to a chemical or group of chemicals to satisfy EPCRA requirements. As part of this report, 5 Bugle Training and Consulting, LLC obtained the 2011 EPCRA Tier II listing of chemicals as submitted by the reporting facilities for the four counties covered in this research. Many of the materials listed were not considered a controlled material in the United States by the Department of Transportation. As such, those materials were not included as part of this report's data. 1d: Highway Placard Observations (HPO) Random highway placard observations were performed at strategic locations throughout the County at varying times of day. The intent of these observations was to 1) determine what chemicals were being transported thru the County in sufficient quantities to require placards, and 2) to identify chemicals being transported through the County that are not utilized in local industry per the County's EPCRA Tier II report. Because these are unknowns, they are not normally taken into account in emergency response planning. Although the Tier II reporting information confirms that many hazardous chemicals are present in industry, and that they must be transported by some means to get there, it does not mean that all of these chemicals were noted during the random observations performed during this study. It should be noted that many of these chemicals may be being transported in either small quantities or quantities that are below the threshold amount that would require placarding. It could be 1 gallon or 1 pound, or 1000 gallons or pounds below the threshold, but still a significant amount of a chemical. The lack of a placard could hide the type and amount of a dangerous chemical present on the scene, so caution and discretion should always be foremost in the First Responders assessment of a scene. Binoculars were used to identify placards. Limiting factors in the HPO process included dirty and obscured placards, multiple placards on a single vehicle, observation point distance from the highway that impaired clarity and passing traffic blocking view of the placards. 4 2.0 Report Narrative As stated, the goals of this 4-county commodity flow study are four-fold: 1) To identify which DOT controlled hazardous materials are utilized in business and industry in the target county; 2) provide a sampling of what DOT controlled hazardous materials are travelling on the roads of that county; 3) Survey fire departments and other first responders as to their level of hazardous materials response training and preparedness and 4) Provide recommendations to enhance responder preparedness, response capabilities and safety. The tables in Section 3 identify 1) the known process hazardous materials per the EPCRA reporting system, and 2) the results of the random highway placard observations. Those chemicals that are common to both sources are highlighted in the tables. The remaining chemicals were either not observed on the highways or may be transported in quantities below those required for placard utilization Railroad chemical transport information, which is considered confidential information, is listed in Tables 5 & 6 and is treated in the same manner, with chemicals listed in common to the Tier II reports highlighted. The highlighted listings, in all of the tables, represent those known DOT controlled hazardous materials utilized by businesses in the target county, and therefore transported to the site in some quantity by some surface transportation means. By County, the following are the percentages of known and identified chemicals being transported in quantities requiring a haz-mat placard, to the total amount of chemicals identified as traveling on the highway through random observation: EPCRA Tier II HM Observed Tier II HM Tier II Not Observed Transit HM or Unkn. Chippewa County 45 10(22%) 36(78%) 12 (54% of total RHO) Eau Claire County 66 15(23%) 51(77%) 9(37%) Dunn County 31 8(26%) 23(74%) 11(58%) St. Croix County 31 13(42%) 19(58%) 26(67%) The above data indicates that only a small portion of the materials observed in the HPO's are process-utilized haz mat as listed in the Tier II reports for each county. Even leaving a margin in the data for materials that may be being transported, just not observed during this study, the data still suggests that the majority of hazardous materials being transported in each county is either not placarded or not listed in the Tier II report. Some of the EPCRA reported chemicals may be being transported under a generic placard indicating a n.o.s. (non-specific) product listing and as such cannot be specifically identified visually. These chemicals could, therefore, impact the percentages in the above table. First 5 Responders will not know what the product is specifically, however, without additional manifest information. The most common DOT controlled material observed in all counties was gasoline, or gasoline product (such as ethanol blend), and with the placard number 1203. Other common observations included cryogenic nitrogen, propane and products requiring the "Flammable" and "Non-Flammable" gas placards, including welding gases. Section 3: Tables Tables 1.0 - 4.1 lists the chemicals considered hazardous and reportable by the DOT as listed in the EPCRA Title II reports, and by comparison the chemical placards that were noted during the random observations of highway locations in each county. The even-numbered tables provide the reporting facility information and the odd-numbered tables provide the highway observation data. Each table is specifically labeled as well. Highlighted materials are those observed materials that also appear on the Tier II reporting information. The non-highlighted materials are either non-reported materials, reportable materials with general placards (i.e.: "Flammable") or reportable materials in quantities below the threshold for placard identification that are in transit along that highway route. 6 3.1 DOT HAZARD CLASSIFICATION The following is the listing of the DOT Hazard Class for regulated chemicals. This class is referenced for individual chemicals on each of the Process Utilized Hazardous Materials tables. Class 1 - Explosive Class 2 - Gases Class 3 - Flammable liquids (and Combustible liquids [U.S.]) Class 4 - Flammable solids; Spontaneously combustible materials; and Dangerous when wet materials/Water-reactive substances Class 5 - Oxidizing substances and Organic peroxides Class 6 -Toxic (poisonous) substances and infectious substances Class 7 - Radioactive materials Class 8 - Corrosive substances Class 9 - Miscellaneous hazardous materials/Products, Substances or Organisms *Note: There are sub-classifications under each Class that are not listed. Refer to the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) for more detailed information on each chemical. 7 Table 1.0 Chippewa County EPCRA Tier II Hazardous Materials (Chemicals observed on highways are highlighted) PLACARD NUMBER CHEMICAL NAME GUIDE # DOT HAZARD CLASS 1005 ANHYDROUS AMMONIA 125 2 1013 CARBON DIOXIDE 120 2 1017 CHLORINE 124 2 1035 ETHANE, 1,1-DIFLUORO (HFC) 152A 115 2 1066 NITROGEN 120 2 1072 OXYGEN 122 2 1073 OXYGEN (REFRIGERATED LIQUID) 122 2 1075 LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS 115 2 1075 / 1978 PROPANE 115 2 1079 SULFUR DIOXIDE 125 2 1153 /1171 / 1188 ETHYLENE GLYCOL 127 9 1170 ETHANOL 127 3 1170 ETHYL ALCOHOL (200 PROOF) 127 3 1172/1189 ETHYLENE GLYCOL 129 9 1198 FORMALDEHYDE 132 3 1202 DIESEL FUEL 128 3 1203 UNLEADED GASOLINE 128 3 1203 UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH ETHANOL 127 3 1265 ISOPENTANE 128 3 1307 XYLENES 128 3 1325 FLAMMABLE SOLID N.O.S. 133 4 1495 SODIUM CHLORATE 140 5 1593 METHYLENE CHLORIDE 160 6.1 1740 HYDROGEN FLUORIDE 154 8 1773 FERRIC CHLORIDE 157 8 1789 HYDROCHLORIC ACID 157 8 1789 MURIATIC ACID 157 8 1791 HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION 154 8 1823 SODIUM HYDROXIDE 154 8 1824 CAUSTIC SODA LIQUID 50% 154 8 1830 SULFURIC ACID 137 8 1848 PROPIONIC ACID 132 8 1863 AVIATION GAS / JP8-JET FUEL 128 3 1977 NITROGEN- CRYOGENIC LIQUID 120 2 1986 / 1987 DENATURED ETHANOL 127 3 1993 42 FUEL OIL PETROLEUM HYDRCARBON 128 3 2032 NITRIC ACID 157 8 2315 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS 171 9 2357 1-CYCLO H EXYLAM I N E 132 8 2487 METHYLENE BIS (PHENYLISOCYANATE) 131 6 2672 AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE 154 8 2672 AQUA AMMONIA SOLUTION - 23% 154 8 2802 COPPER CHLORIDE 154 8 2922 BENZENE SULFONIC ACID 154 8 3475 E-85 GASOLINE 127 3 8 Table 1.1 Chippewa County Highway Observations (Total Hours: 25) Date: 1/09/12 & 1/11/12 Location: Hwy 29 E @ HWY 53 Time period: 1000-1300 (6) 0900-1200 UN Number Product Vehicle Type 1005 Anhydrous Ammonia MC-331 1073 02 - cryogenic MC-338 1075 Propane MC-331 1203 Gas - petro MC-306 1908 Chlorite Solution MC-307 1977 Liquefied Nitrogen MC-331 Corrosive Unknown 53' Box Semi Used Oil Petroleum Based Truck Dangerous Unknown 53/ Box Semi Date: 1/10/12 & 2/6/12 Location: Hwy 29 W @ HWY 53 Time period: 0900-1200 (5) 1400-1600 UN Number Product Vehicle Type 1073 02 - Cryogenic MC-338 1203 Gas - petro MC-306 1824 Caustic soda; sodium hydroxide MC-312 1830 Sulfuric Acid MC-312 1908 Chlorite Solution MC-307 1977 Nitrogen, Refrigerated Liquid MC-338 2187 Carbon Dioxide, Refrigerated MC-338 Corrosive Unknown 53' Box Semi Date: 2/06/12 Location: Hwy 29 @ Hwy 27 Time Period: 1000 - 1200 (2) UN Number Product Vehicle Type 1073 02 - Cryogenic MC-338 1203 Gas - Petro MC-306 1357 Urea Nitrate MC-307 1977 Nitrogen, Refrigerated MC-338 1993 Combustible Liquid, N.O.S.

Type: Not specified. 25 Section 5: Fire Department Survey Observations • All fire departments have a percentage of their personnel trained at the haz mat Awareness level. • A number of departments have a large portion of their personnel trained at the Operations level. • Most departments have at least one trained haz mat Technician. • Most departments do not consider themselves 'Level B' response qualified as defined by the State of Wisconsin; as such they rely on a designated county level 'B' team. • The actual number of dangerous goods/hazardous materials incidents is a very small percentage (approximately 5% or less) of their total call volume. • Approximately 1/3 of the fire departments stated they have not trained with their primary county or regional hazardous materials response team. o For those that have trained with them, it has been several years since the last such training has occurred. • On average, the typical fire department will train 6 hour per year or less on hazardous materials response. • The vast majority would like to see additional training made available to them; popular topics included gaining a better understanding of the decontamination process, a greater awareness of the hazardous materials that are present within their response jurisdictions, and specific training with haz mat target facilities. • Several departments expressed an interest and willingness to be a component of a higher level haz mat response effort by being qualified to perform decontamination procedures in support of the Level 'A' team. 26 Section 6: Law Enforcement & EMS Haz Mat Response Training Per the Chippewa Valley Technical College, which provides the State of Wisconsin 520-Hour Basic Law Enforcement training/certification, only 4 hours is dedicated to hazardous materials awareness training. All Law Enforcement personnel are required to attend 40-hours of annual in-service training, but according to area police and sheriff's department training officers, refresher or continuing education on hazardous materials exposure in their regions is rarely, if ever offered. Law Enforcement cruisers are generally equipped with the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) in either the book form or as part of their in-squad computer software to reference during the initial phase of a dangerous goods/hazardous materials transportation incident, but their familiarity with this resource is dependent upon the individual and how often they review it. A Captain with one of the local Sheriff's departments responded that "The (chemical identification) training is hit and miss and is something that we could benefit from. Evacuation training... is also something that would be good to update our staff with." At least one agency receives bi-annual haz mat updates from their local fire department. Some enforcement officers have binoculars in their squad while others told me that binoculars are not standard issue, so sizing up an incident becomes more difficult for them, even with the ERG information available. Law enforcement agencies within the scope of this study generally have available some respirators that utilize activated charcoal as the filtering agent that is effective against organic chemicals that could range from paint fumes to a nerve toxin like Sarin. These respirators are not carried as standard equipment, but are reserved for special team use such as investigators of clandestine drug labs. Emergency Medical System (EMS) personnel are required to take a 4-hour on-line course provided by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services entitled Weapons of Mass Destruction. There is no in-class curriculum or further training on this topic mandated. 27 Section 7: Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) Status Three of the four counties involved in this project have been designated as MABAS counties. All of the fire departments in Eau Claire (Division 126) and Dunn (Division 117) Counties are "on-line", having completed their MABAS Box Cards and revised their accountability guidelines to reflect MABAS requirements. While Chippewa County (Division 132) has a 50% competing rate with the balance working to finalize theirs at this time. Most departments have completed their fire-related MABAS cards and are working on the "specialized" cards, such as hazardous materials response. The County MABAS coordinator stated the County fire departments are in the final phases of the project and it will be completed in total in 2012. All departments have also completed revising their accountability guidelines to be in line with MABAS requirements. St. Croix County is securing contracts with its fire departments as the first step towards seeking Division status. It is anticipated that all contracts will be secured by July, 2012 and at that point they will apply to Wisconsin MABAS to become a Division. Section 8: Report Summary & Recommendations The recognized need for better preparedness and increased response capability to dangerous goods/hazardous materials transportation incidents occurred in the 1990's when the State of Wisconsin created the Regional Hazardous Materials Response Teams. It was reaffirmed and expanded to include weapons of mass destruction (WMD) after several "anthrax" threats and incidents across the country and after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Dangerous good/hazardous materials incidents fortunately remain a low-frequency (albeit potentially high-severity) occurrence today. While responders' awareness of the risks involved in these and WMD have been heightened, the relative low frequency of them has caused sustainability issues for equipment and training dollars over the past decade. In addition, the low frequency and relatively low consequences of those releases that do occur have led to a reduction in the perceived need for response training/preparedness on the part of the average fire department. At the very least, the need for significant response preparedness has been delegated to the designated county level 'B' team or the regional level 'A' team. Even this response structure is currently undergoing evaluation by the Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) office and at the time of this writing there have been serious recommendations made by WEM to change the current structure and team designations, eliminating the traditional "Level A" and "Level B" titles and modifying the funding mechanisms of the teams. Action on this change has, however, been delayed until mid-2013. 28 Other factors exist that help improve the response to and mitigation of dangerous goods/ hazardous materials incidents. These include, but not limited to: ➢ Increasingly strict regulations intended to prevent or reduce the impact of a release of dangerous and hazardous commodities as the result of a transportation incident. ➢ Mandates that require the spiller to pay for clean-up costs; some transportation companies have contracts with clean-up companies and require their drivers to contact their company dispatchers immediately in the event of an incident. This action can result in a clean-up contractor being dispatched simultaneously or even before an emergency response agency, which speeds up the entire mitigation process. In general, first responder awareness of the potential for dangerous goods/hazardous materials involvement in a transportation accident or fixed facility event is present. Specific situational awareness can suffer however, because responders may not recognize the incident as potentially haz mat in nature. For example, a semi-trailer may contain a mixed load of household chemicals that in and by itself is not in sufficient quantities to pose a hazard in the event of an incident. But when mixed together as a result of an incident, the synergistic effect of the chemicals combined could cause a significant hazard to health or life. If a first responder does not have the situational awareness to recognize this type of 'hidden' hazard, then there is increased risk for injury or death to the first responder. Again, in general, responders with a high level of situational awareness may tend to be more cautious (perhaps viewed as over-cautious by some) and set up larger hot zones or evacuation areas. In the case of a rural area, such a release may have less of an impact as life safety is not as big a problem, but the risk to the responder will remain if a competent understanding of dangerous goods/hazardous materials is not present and situation awareness is absent. Aside from the administrative evaluative efforts and financial sustainability challenges faced by today's first responders, dangerous goods/hazardous materials continue to have a presence in every fire department and law enforcement agency's jurisdiction as the EPCRA Title II reporting system and this study's highway observations have demonstrated. 29 Summary of Specifics: 1. Chippewa County: 22% of EPCRA reported materials were observed on County Highways; the balance of the materials were either transported in quantities below threshold amounts, or were not observed during the study. 54% of observed placards were either in-transit non-EPCRA haz mat or Unknowns. 2. Eau Claire County: 23% of hazardous materials utilized by business and industry were observed on County Highways; the balance of the materials were either transported in quantities below threshold amounts, or were not observed during the study. 37% of observed placards were either in-transit non-EPCRA haz mat or Unknowns. 3. Dunn County: 26% of hazardous materials utilized by business and industry were observed on County Highways; the balance of the materials were either transported in quantities below threshold amounts, or were not observed during the study. 58% of observed placards were either in-transit non-EPCRA haz mat or Unknowns. 4. St. Croix County: 42% of hazardous materials utilized by business and industry were observed on County Highways; the balance of the materials were either transported in quantities below threshold amounts, or were not observed during the study. 67% of observed placards were either in-transit non-EPCRA haz mat or Unknowns. 5. 40% of hazardous materials transported by railroad are listed on the EPCRA Tier II report; the balance (60%) could be considered materials that are "in-transit" through the county. 6. Several fire departments have declared themselves Level '13' response capable; the question remains if this is a mutual understanding among all haz mat response agencies. 7. The majority of fire departments have had some training with the county's primary haz mat response team; training is as old as 5 years in some cases. 8. There is a fair perception of what chemicals are being transported through the county, but not a thorough or specific understanding. 9. The vast majority of response agencies would like to have additional training or updates on hazardous materials response practices. 30 10. Law Enforcement and EMS have limited initial training, and refresher training varies from department to department. 11. Fire departments have a range of annual refresher training on haz mat with many volunteer departments doing the minimum required by the State of Wisconsin for certification maintenance (for those that hold a certification). 12. First responders have minimal equipment to address a dangerous chemical/haz mat release. Recommendations: 1. Each County should work with the Regional Level 'A' team and County Level 'B' team to identify immediate training that would best benefit First Responder (fire, law enforcement and EMS) safety in response needs and actions; work with the regional team and/or Technical College to provide the training. 2. Work with the Regional Level 'A' team and County Level 'B' team to identify equipment that would best benefit First Responder safety in response needs and actions; research potential grants as a funding source for this equipment. 3. Hold county-wide training on response procedures and equipment; include Law Enforcement and EMS providers in training process. 4. Continue dialogue and training with Railroads; continue efforts to obtain haz mat manifest from Canadian Northern Railroad. 5. Establish a regular schedule for county-wide annual dangerous goods/hazardous materials updates and training; include railroad and any other transporting industry that could impact first responders (pipelines, storage and/or target facilities, etc.). 6. Distribute this commodity flow study to each Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS response agency as well as the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) for review and discussion of the results and recommendations of this study. It is with gratitude for the support and involvement of each County's Emergency Management Director (particularly Dennis Brown who served as the grant coordinator), the County's LEPCs, the departments that participated in the surveys (both written and telephone) as well as the individual officers who provided information and their personal perspective on the state of dangerous goods/hazardous materials response capabilities and preparedness levels of their respective County, that 5 Bugle Training and Consulting is able to submit this Transportation Commodity Flow Study. 53utc,e fuet6Wn9,ft, M.S., EFO President 31 Appendix Table A-1 • '1.r a ~t E f Wy MW L ix: 40 -F i 32 Table A-2 ~ i kw F # f dr 71 lye t Zip ~ Note: The Taylor County haz-mat team disbanded in 2010 ~ and there is no current haz-mat level county team. _ 33 • If e r:- 94 !~T~ i■ ~ Vii,' .l:s: ` r.,~ . x-}1_y~. ;:bra:-.'.'
