City of Corpus Christi/Nueces County LEPC
Applicant/Local Government:
Toxic Industrial Chemical &Material Vulnerability Assessment
Project Title:
Please refer to Appendix E-Proposal Evaluation Criteria Guide to ensure that all of the
necessary information is included in your Project Narrative
The City of Corpus Christi/Nueces County LEPC intends to build on previous initiatives to complete a
detailed hazardous materials vulnerability assessment to increase effectiveness in safely and efficiently
handling hazardous materials accidents and incidents and to further enhance our implementation of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986.
The Corpus Christi/Nueces County recently completed a Commodity Flow Study to assess hazardous
materials transported throughout the County including our three hazardous materials highways(IH37,
US77&US181), major rail carriers and hundreds of miles of pipelines. Additionally, in 2011, the Corpus
Christi/Nueces County LEPC contracted services to develop a comprehensive list of regulated industrial
facilities, complete with associated hazardous material storage based on available regulatory data.This
compressive list yielded 400 facilities with approximately 2,500 stored chemical substances.
The LEPC has approved 100%funding for phase one of a project which will entail subcontracting with
Alliance Solution Group, Inc. (ASG)to conduct a risk assessment of the Tier 11 facilities in Nueces County.
This will include a review of the previously identified facilities from work conducted by ASG in 2011, an
assessment of the risks, and a narrative description of the results and methodology used. Phase 1 will
begin on October 1, 2014.
DELIVERABLES PHASE I: Upon completion of Phase I,ASG will deliver a(1)Risk Assessment
Spreadsheet for a high risk facility,(2)model files exported from ALOHA, (3)casualty impact analysis,and
(4)a narrative description containing methodology for capturing and interpreting qualitative data in a final
report.
We are asking funding for Phase II and Phase III.
PHASE II:will consist of an Assessment of the Impact, Capabilities and Controls for Response to High
Risk Facilities. In Phase II of this project,ASG will:
1. Asses Critical Infrastructure as risk from high risk facilities.
2. Identify populations at risk(using census data, tourism data)
3. Analyze Controls
a. Facility Response Plans for those high risk facilities identified in phase I
b. Notification procedures(facility, responders, community)
c. Pre-fire plans
4. Assess response capabilities(City, County, Port, Regional, State, Federal, Private/Corporate
entities to include equipment,training, and technical capabilities. Nueces County and the LEPC will
provide a current assessment. The LEPC will provide a list of hazmat detection,decontamination
and PPE assets to the extent practical so that ASG can assess preparedness to response to high
risk facilities.
5. Conduct needs assessment through an on-line survey instrument.
6. Develop potential risk scenarios.
24
PROJECT NARRATIVE Continued
7. Conduct evacuation modeling(day/night time, seasonal populations)using Real Time evacuation
Planning Mode(RtePM)to provide planners with analysis on evacuation versus shelter in place
protective actions. This may aid responders in implementation of public protective action.
DELIVERABLES FOR PHASE II: The information assessed will be provided in a report outlining
community and high risk facility capabilities and population/areas at risk from those facilities. The report
will detail the notification procedures for the facilities, emergency responders and the community. It will
provide evacuation models for the top three high risk facilities and recommendations on parameters for
emergency response. additionally, it will contain a training and exercise plan for the future based on the
needs assessment.
PHASE III: ASG will review the current LEPC plan for compliance with Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act(SARA)Title III Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986
(EPCRA) section 301 and 303 and its ability to be successfully implemented. Based on the results of the
evaluation,ASG will provide the LEPC a synopsis of this review with best practices and any
recommendations for changes, modifications, improvements,or other identified shortfalls to meet
compliance standards.
In coordinations with Nueces County and the LEPC,ASG will update the LEPC Emergency response plan.
ASG will incorporate all the assessments, data, modes, commodity flow study information and
implementation actions into a comprehensive updated plan in compliance with the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act(SARA)Title III Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know
Act of 1986(EPCRA)in compliance with Section 301 and 303.
Upon Completion of the updated plan,ASG will submit the plan to the LEPC for review. Upon completion
of the review ASG will incorporate any changes and/or edits needed to finalize the plan.
DELIVERABLES FOR PHASE III: Once a final plan is developed, the plan will be delivered in a format
(Hard Copy,CD,or PDF)agreed upon at the beginning of the contract for review and adoption.
Note: If we can not receive funding for full amount,will except funding for only Phase II which is
$19,927.73 minus 20%hard match.
