RESPONSE

PLAN 1.

PURPOSE To describe procedures and establish responsibilities for community planning for and response to a hazardous material (hazmat) emergency at the facility.

This plan is in accordance with the requirements under Title III of Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA).

2.

SITUATION A.

Situation Susquehanna Steam Electric Station uses chlorine gas, sulfur dioxide, and sulfuric acid in its power production process.

These substances and quantity on hand meet the SARA reporting criteria.

An on-site accident involving any of these substances could cause an evacuation of the plant and surrounding community.

Maps covering at least a

3 mile radius* of the plant showing population density in 1980 and 1990 can be found in Tab G (See Figures 1 and 2).

Tables giving population density for various sectors around the plant can also be found in Tab G (See Tables 1 and 2) and may be used with Figures 1

and 2.

Maps covering at least a

3 mile radius showing institutions/sites at risk can also be found in Tab,G (See Fi'gures 3

and 4).

• Radius was determined by 1987 Emergency

Response

Guidebook, U.S.

Department of Transportation.

The evacuation distance estimate was based on fuming sulfuric acid.

Summary of Hazardous Materials Vulnerability Analysis Three extremely hazardous substances stored at the SSES exceed their Threshold Planning guantities (TPg) as described in 40 CFR 355 and are given below.

Also given are the Reportable guantities (Rg) of these substances as described in 40 CFR 302 and 40 CFR 355.

Extremely Maximum Hazardous Substance EEET'TP Sulfuric Acid Chlorine Gas Sulfur Dioxide 775,200 lbs 30,000 lbs.

Material Safety Data Sheets for these extremely hazardous substances can be found in Tab H.

CI

In case of an emergency involving sulfuric acid, (worst case scenario of the three extremely hazardous substances) evacuation of a three mile radius surrounding SSES could take place which would involve the following populations in various sectors (based on 1990 population estimates in Tab G, Figure 2 and Table 2).

Township, Salem Township Salem Township Salem Township Salem Township Conyngham Township, Salem Township Conyngham Township, Salem Township The dominant topographic feature in the three mile radius surrounding the SSES is the Susquehanna River and its valley.

Much of this area consists of rolling hills, most of which is used for agriculture or is forested.

,In addition to the permanent population estimated to reside in the three mile evacuation

radius, a transient population can also be expected to be present at any given time.

Specifically, the Riverlands Recreational Area (See Tab G, Figure 4) is estimated to have a peak day-time attendance of 200 people, but is typically less than 50 people.

The Riverlands Recreational Area is closed at night.

Other recreational usage in the three mile radius is limited by topography and land use.

Some fishing and boating does occur on the Susquehanna River; however, this is also limited due to shallow depths.

• • The Rg for sulfur dioxide is that listed in 40 CFR 355 since it is not listed in 40 CFR 302.

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A.

General The Pennsylvania Emergency

Response

Commission (PERC), with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PENA) as the operational

agency, and the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), with the Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency (LCEMA) as the operational

agency, established by the Governor's Executive Order 1987-8 (Ref.

6.A.3) under the provisions of SARA Title III, provide the organizational response to hazardous material releases including:

1.

Notification and Response The facility owner/operator initiates the response by following the prescribed notification procedures.

Facility responders are joined by public responders who have been notified by the LEPC via the County Emergency Management Agency (EMA).

2.

Containment and Neutralization The owner/operator and the public responders share the work of containment and neutralization.

3.

Protection of Public County Commissioners, working with the County EMA, will provide for protection of the public from the consequences and impact.

4.

Clean-up The facility owner/operator provides the planning and response capability for cleanup.

5.

Re-entry Department of Environmental Resources (DER) determines when area is safe for reentry.

B.

Categories of Emergencies Four categories have been established reflecting hazardous materials releases of varying severity.

Procedures for categories controlled at the scene require different actions than those with public impact.

Planners will develop procedures to coincide with these four levels.

1.

Category I

Routine release.

Totally within the facility.

Contained within site.

Report voluntary.

2.

Category II Reportable quantity.

Release outside of facility.

Requires assistance of municipal responders.

County EMC provides On-Scene Coordinator.

3.

Category III 4,

Response

requires public notification and may require protective action.

PENA provides On-Scene Liaison Officer.

Category IV Public notification and protective action are required, PENA provides On-Scene Coordinator.

Depending on the intensity and duration of expo-sure, effects may vary from mild irritation to severe destruction of tissues. Symptoms of exposure may include burning sensations, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath. headache,

nausea, and vomiting. Penetra-tion of sulfur dioxide into the lower airway may produce bronchitis, chemical pneumonitis, and pulmonary edema.

Contact of sulfur dioxide with the eyes willcause pain, tearing, inflammation, swelling of tissue and possible de-struction of the eye. Contact of sulfur dioxide with the skin willcause severe burns or irritation of the skin. Cryo-genic burns may be caused by the liquid.

TOXICOLOGICALPROPERTIES Inhalation human TCLo:3 ppm/5 days Exposure to atmospheres contaminated with sulfur dioxide is extremely irritating. Its odor and prompt irritant ac-tion provides a warning of exposure to toxic conditions. High concentrations are extremely destructive to tissues of the airway. eyes and skin. Inhalation may have fatal consequences as a result of spasm, inflammation and edema of the larynx and bronchi; chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. Exposure of the eyes to high con-centrations may result in ulceration of the conjunctiva and cornea and destruction of all ocular tissues. Contact with the skin causes severe burns. Systematic toxicity due to sulfur dioxide is not known to occur.

RECOMMENDED FIRST AIDTREATMENT RESCUE PERSONNEL SHOULD AVOIDUNNECESSARY EXPOSURE N

Inhalation: Move the affected person to an uncontaminated atmosphere.

If exposure has been to minor concentra-tions for a limited time, usually no treatment will be required. If breathing has stopped or is impaired, give assisted respiration (e.g., mouth-to-mouth). Supplemental oxygen should be administered. Keep the victim warm and quiet.

Assure that the victim does not aspirate vomited material by use of positional drainage. Assure that mucus does not obstruct the airway. Seek medical attention at once.

SP ECIALULSEUNQ INFORMATION D.O.T. Green Label, Nonflammable Gas SPECIAL HANDLINQRECOMMENDATIONS Use only in a well-ventilated area. Never drop cylinders or allow them to strike each other violently. Avoid dragging or sliding cylinders. even for short distances. They should be moved by a suitable hand truck. Keep the valve pro-tection cap in place until cylinder is secured and ready for use. Always insert a trap or check-valve in the line to prevent hazardous back-flow into the cylinder. Use a pressure reducing regulator when connecting to lower pres-sure piping systems.

For additional handling recommendations consult the Air Products Specialty Gas Catalog Safety and Technical In-formation Section or Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet P-1.

SPECIAL STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS Protect against physical damage. Store cylinders in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area of noncombustible construc-tion. Protect cylinders from excessive temperature rise by storing away from sources of heat. No part of a cylinder should be subjected to a temperature above 125'F (52'C). Store cylinders in an upright position and firmlyse-cured. Segregate full and empty cylinders. Storage in subsurface locations should be avoided since sulfur dioxide is heavier than air.

For additional storage recommendations.

consult the Air Products Specialty Gas Catalog Safety and Technical In-formation/ection or Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet P-1.

SPECIAL PACKAQINQ RECOMMENDATIONS Ir Anhydrous sulfur dioxide is noncorrosive to steel and other common structural metals except zinc. In the presence of moisture. however, corrosive conditions develop (SOa + HsO HsSOs). Lead, carbon, graphite and stainless steel are recommended for handling moist sulfur dioxide.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONSOR PRKCAUTIONS Do not heat cylinders of sulfur dioxide using heat lamps, etc. to maintain internal pressure. This practice has re-sulted in ruptured safety relief devices.

'Various Government agencies (i.e., Department of Transportation, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Food and Drug Administration and others) may have specific regulations concerning the transportation, handling, storage or use of this product which willnot be reflected in this data sheet.
