Emergency response concept plan for the chemical stockpile emergency preparedness program, Rev. 1, Vol. 5: Emergency planning guide for the Newport Chemical Depot CSEPP site

摘要

In December 1992, the Planning Subcommittee of the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) convened a new working group, the Accident Planning Base Review Group (APBRG). This group's mission was to update the accident planning base for CSEPP. Such action was needed because of a number of changes in CSEPP and in the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program (CSDP) since the publication of the original, site-specific Emergency Response Concept Plans in 1988. These changes include the reassessment of dispersion distances; changes in CSDP process design and operations; and a change to planning on the basis of accident categories, not accident scenarios. The APBRG decided to publish the revised planning base in a practical form for use by state, local, and installation CSEPP planners. For this reason, the group concluded that it would publish eight site-specific Emergency Planning Guides (EPGs). This document is intended for the use of the Newport Chemical Depot (NECD) planning community, including state, local, and installation planners. If you are a CSEPP planner, this guide gives procedures you can follow to develop protective action strategy plans. The guide is meant to help you develop, revise, and update plans to protect the public in case of a chemical stockpile emergency at NECD.
