Attachment B <br />Scope of Work <br />Purpose <br />On October 17, 1986, Congress enacted the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act <br />(EPCRA), also known as Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). <br />EPCRA requires hazardous chemical emergency planning by Federal, State and local governments, <br />Indian Tribes. and industry. Additionally, EPCRA required industry to report on the storage, use and <br />releases of certain hazardous materials (HazMat). <br />At the Federal level, the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers EPCRA. <br />At the State level, the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) serves as the lead agency <br />responsible for oversight and coordination of the local planning efforts required by EPCRA. Chaired by <br />the Director of FDEM, the State Emergency Response Commission for Hazardous Materials (SERC) <br />serves as a technical advisor and information clearinghouse for State and Federal hazardous materials <br />(HazMat) programs. Additionally, the SERC conducts quarterly public meetings in varying locations <br />throughout the State. Currently, SERC membership consists of 28 Governor -appointed individuals who <br />represent the interests of State and local government, emergency services, industry and the environment. <br />At the district level, Regional Planning Councils (RPCs) each coordinate the activities of a Local Planning <br />Committee (LEPC) that: (1) performs outreach functions to increase hazardous materials (HazMat) <br />awareness; (2) collects data on hazardous materials stored within the geographical boundaries of the <br />RPC; (3) develops hazardous materials emergency plans for use in responding to and recovering from a <br />release or spill of hazardous or toxic substances; (4) submits hazardous materials emergency plans to <br />the SERC for review; (5) provides the public with hazardous materials information upon request. LEPC <br />membership consists of local professionals representing occupational categories such as firefighting, law <br />enforcement, emergency management, health, environment, and transportation. <br />At the local level, each of Florida's 67 Counties performs a Hazards Analysis (HA) (a county may elect to <br />contract to the Regional Planning Committees (RPC) or qualified vendor). The Counties' Hazards <br />Analysis (HA) is used as input for the LEPC Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for Extremely Hazardous <br />Substances (EHSs) required under EPCRA and encompasses; identification of facilities and <br />transportation routes of Extremely Hazards Substances (EHS); description of emergency response <br />procedures; designation of a community coordinator and facility emergency coordinator(s) to implement <br />the plan; outline of emergency notification procedures; description of how to determine the probable <br />affected area and population by releases; description of local emergency equipment and facilities and the <br />persons responsible for them; outline of evacuation plans; a training program for emergency responders; <br />and, methods and schedules for exercising emergency response plans. This Agreement provides <br />funding so that the Recipient, can assist in maintaining the capability necessary to perform the duties and <br />responsibilities required by EPCRA. The Recipient shall update the Hazards Analysis (HA) for all facilities <br />listed in Attachment D, which have reported to the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) the <br />presence of those specific Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs) designated by the U.S. <br />Environmental Protection Agency in quantities above the Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ). The data <br />collected under this Agreement will be used to comply with the planning requirements of the Superfund <br />Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Title III, "Emergency Planning and Community Right -To - <br />Know Act of 1986" and the Florida Emergency Planning and Community Right -To -Know Act, Florida <br />Statutes, Chapter 252, Part II. <br />19 <br />
