CalARP Formal Evaluation Review Presented By: Beronia Beniamine, Stanislaus County, Senior Hazardous Material Specialist & Greg Taylor, Foster Farms, Corp. PSM Specialist

GENERAL CalARP REGUIREMENTS Process Applicability Management System Registration Information Qualified Person Certification Recordkeeping Hazard Assessment Emergency Response Program2/3 Requirements Updates

Management System Does the facility have a CalARP/RMP management system? Has a qualified person/position been assigned the responsibility for CalARP/RMP compliance? Can the facility demonstrate that there is not a conflict of interest in their management program (e.g. is the person responsible for the programs also responsible for minimizing costs)?

Registration Information Are items a-u in section 2740.1 of the CCR identified? Please refer to the Formal Evaluation Checklist, it includes all the June 24, 2004 changes. We have handouts with the Formal Evaluation Checklist that you can pick up at the end of our presentation.

HAZARD ASSESSMENT Offsite Consequence Analysis Parameters Worst-Case Release Scenario Analysis Alternative Release Scenario Analysis Defining Offsite Impacts to the Population Defining Offsite Impacts to the Environment Offsite Consequence Analysis Review and Update Offsite Consequence Analysis Documentation Five-Year Accident History

Offsite Consequence Analysis Was the analysis performed by qualified people? Are the technical assumptions credible? Was the source of the population estimate data identified? Was the model used valid for the type of material? Was the initiating event for the scenario derived from a valid resource? (e.g. PHA/HR, accident history, industry evidence, etc.) Does the analysis describe the impacts on local population and the environment? Will any safeguards claimed withstand the event and still function?

Offsite Consequence Analysis Do the system operators know what will happen if a worst case scenario takes place? Is the worst case scenario up to date (within 5 years or within 6 months of a major change)? Do the system operators know what will happen if an alternative case scenario takes place? Is the alternative case scenario up to date (within 5 years or within 6 months of a major change)?

While CalARP and EPA regulations require estimating the population within a circle having a radius equal to the distance to toxic endpoint, the actual area affected by the worst case release as predicted by the SLAB model is less than 6% of the area of the circle. Because the LandView 6 population estimates are based on the area of the circle, it follows that the actual population affected by a worst case release will be much less than the LandView 6 population estimate.

Emergency Response Emergency Response Applicability Emergency Action Plan Owner or operator whose employees will not respond to accidental releases of regulated substances need to meet the following: Coordinate with community plan Coordinate with fire agencies for flammables. Procedures for notifying emergency responders.

Emergency Response Program Emergency response program shall include the following: Emergency Response/Action Plan; Procedures for informing/interfacing w/agencies/public; Documentation of first aid/medical monitoring treatment; Post incident response procedures; Procedures for equipment use, inspection, testing, maintenance.

Management of Change and What Is Considered Change? Change - Any modification which affects the capability of a process to maintain control of the physical and chemical transformations taking place, including all modifications to equipment, procedures, raw materials, and processing conditions other than replacement-in-kind.

For example, a process vessel and/or section of piping is designed with black carbon steel. Replacement of a section of the equipment with stainless steel would constitute a change. Replacement of a vessel with one of a different pressure rating. Replacing a gasket with one of a different material.
