1.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACTION PLAN

This Installation Contingency Plan, has been extracted from Sections of the

Picatinny Arsenal (the Arsenal) Combined Discharge Plan for easy access by response personnel during an actual emergency. This plan contains adequate information and material to combat the discharge and is arranged so response actions are not delayed. Parts of the extracted materials have been condensed or otherwise edited where appropriate and as permitted by regulation. Figure numbers have been changed for sequential organization for this permit.

Note: All Picatinny Arsenal phone numbers are (973) 724-####, and will be written as 4-####. While on the Base, you must dial a 4 prior to the extension.

Also both the Police Department 911 and the fire department are manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

4.0 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS FOR ALL DISCHARGES

The initial actions taken upon discovery of a discharge must be to ensure the safety of all personnel present. After determining that a response can be safely made, initial actions to contain the discharge may be instituted. As soon as initial containment actions are concluded, or if no initial containment is needed or possible, the discharge must be reported to the Arsenal Police Department. The highest-ranking military or civilian employee at the scene of the discharge takes initial responsibility for actions at the discharge site. The EC/EnvCo will take responsibility upon being notified of the discharge, and will delegate responsibility to the IRT, local assistance units and/or outside assistance levels as the situation demands. The response time of the First Response Team (Fire

Department) is three to five minutes.

The course of action for the discoverer of a discharge is as follows:

1) Assess the danger of the discharge: The personal safety of all personnel present is the first priority. The location, quantity, and physical/chemical/ toxicological properties of the material or materials involved along with the training and equipment available to on-site personnel will determine the level of danger present. Unless onsite personnel can identify the discharge and determine that containment action can safely be taken, personnel should evacuate the site and immediately notify the Arsenal Police Department.

2) When initial containment is safe and possible, efforts should be made to prevent flow from reaching storm sewers or water courses.

NOTE: The appropriate level of discharge response is contingent upon the scope and extent of the discharge. The IRT should use this plan, the Combined

Plan, their knowledge, and creativity to determine the appropriate response, control, cleanup and remediation of the discharge.

6.0 EVACUATION ASSESSMENT

The following factors will be assessed and considered by the EC, EnvCo, and the

Arsenal Police Department in determining the need to implement evacuation plan:

(1) Location of stored/discharged materials

(2) Hazards imposed by discharged material

(3) Discharge flow direction

(4) Prevailing wind direction and speed

(5) Water current and wave conditions

(6) Weather conditions

(7) Use of shelters versus evacuation

6.1 EVACUATION NOTIFICATION AND ROUTES

Evacutation notifications will be made by means of Picatinny’s e-mail system and a reverse 911 phone notification system for installation evacuation. for smaller scale evacuations the electronic mailsystem will be used in conjuction with security forces going building to building will be used. Evacuation routes will be dependent upon the nature and extent of the discharge. There are five primary gates for entrance to and exit from the Arsenal (see general site map). These are the Main Gate found at west end of Parker Road and southern corner of the base;
