3. HAZARD ASSESSMENT
A. OBJECTIVE
This section identifies the hazardous materials and wastes that are routinely
found at the facility and their spill potential at the facility.
All personnel involved with handling hazardous materials and wastes have been
trained and are familiar with the hazardous properties of the materials and waste
with which they work.
B. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND WASTE INVENTORY
Lists of the hazardous materials and wastes generally har~dled at the facility are
presented in Attachment 1. The inventory reflects "Threshold Level" reporting,
listing hazardous materials or waste present at the facility in amounts which exceed
a total volume of 55 gallons, 200 cubic feet at standard temperature and pressure
for gases, or a total weight of 500 pounds. Substances present at the facility below
these levels may not be listed, unless the material is listed in 40 CFR 355 as an
"Extremely Hazardous Substance" with a "Threshold Planning Quantity" of less than
500 pounds.
C. FACILITY DRAINAGE
The facility yard is graded such that surface runoff from the hillside, gunited yard
area above the powerhouse, and partially paved area near operators garage
discharges into a containment pond and then to the Kern River. Drainage from
yard area above the transformers and paved area immediately outside fence
discharges through a 4" metal pipe into the Kern River. Runoff from the hillside,
the operators residence, and the paved area outside the powerhouse fence
discharges through 18" CMP into the Kern River. The drainage systems are
illustrated on the Facility Layout Map, Attachment 2.
3-1
D. ADJOINING LAND USES
The facility is located in the Inyo National Forest and is surrounded by
undeveloped land. There are no schools, residential areas, hospitals, or medical
care facilities within 5 miles of the facility.
E. PREVAILING WIND DIRECTION
The prevailing wind direction is from the west ("up the canyon") during the day
and the east ("down'the canyon") at night.
F. SPILL POTENTIAL
The oil filled equipment, storage containers, spill prevention techniques currently
utilized and the potential for oil spills are described in this section. Small spills
occurring during normal operation will be contained and cleaned up in accordance
with Section 5 of this Emergency Plan.
1. Turbine/Generator Bearings
Within the powerhouse, there are bearings on the turbine/generator
assemblies containing lubricating oil. The lubricating oil in these bearings is
cooled in coils using water from the penstock which is discharged to the
powerhouse oil sump after cooling the bearing coils. These bearings are
connected to high oil level and high bearing temperature alarms that when
activated will automatically shut down the turbine and generators minimizing
the possibility of an oil spill.
In addition, spills and leaks are prevented by performing .regular, scheduled
maintenance on this equipment as well as daily inspections to detect
incipient failures. If oil is spilled it would eventually drain to the powerhouse
sump where it would be contained.
2. Turbine HYdraulic Control System
There is a pressurized hydraulic oil storage tank for the turbine governor
system inside the powerhouse. The oil storage tank is equipped with Iow
level alarms which automatically shut the system down the unit. Any oil
spilled would drain into the turbine wicket gate pit which then drains into the
powerhouse sump.
Spill prevention measures currently in effect include periodic inspections; cleaning
up all drips, leaks, or oil traces when observed; use of drip pans and absorbent
materials to catch any minor drips or minute traces of oil; and regular preventive
maintenance on the eqUipment. Any significant quantities of oil discharged from
this equipment would drain to the sump at the pressure regulator, pit where it
would be contained.
3-2
3. Switchyard Operating Eo. uipment
The plant switchyard contains operating oil-filled transformers and SF6 circuit
breakers. The insulating oil in the equipment is mineral oil. Operations personnel
are notified at the Midway Switching Station, which is staffed 24-hours per day,
of significant leakage of major operating equipment via remote oil level,
equipment malfunction alarms or customer "no voltage" complaints. The oil
filled operating equipment is located on concrete slabs and is surrounded by
concrete curbs. Any oil spilled from the equipment would be contained in these
areas.
G. FIRE POTENTIAL:
All hazardous .materials and wastes are stored in regulation containers, minimizing
the possibility of fire. All hazardous waste containers are inspected weekly and an
inspection log is kept by facility personnel. "No Smoking," and other appropriate
signs are posted where combustible/flammable materials or wastes are handled,
used, or stored. Storage areas are regularly inspected for compliance with
applicable state and local requirements. The insulating fluid used in operating
equipment is designed to operate at high temperatures and typically has a
flashpoint in the range of 290°F - 400°F. Responsible facility personnel have
been trained in the use of portable fire fighting equipment.

4D. TRAINING
PG&E has complimentary training programs that address the proper handling of
hazardous materials and wastes at Company facilities. The training programs meet the
employee training requirements of both federal and state regulations as they apply to
hazardous waste contingency plans and emergency response plans.
1. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS USE AND HANDLING:
In accordance with California regulations (8 CCR "Worker Right-to-Know" and 19
CCR "Business Plan and Inventory") and California Health and Safety Code,
PG&E's Safety, Health and Claims Department oversees training on hazardous
materials in use at Company facilities.
Employees in each department or facility receive "Right to Know" or "Hazard
Communication Training" on specific substances or classes of toxic or hazardous
chemicals they use. Training includes topics such as safe methods for storage
and handling of hazardous materials, proper fitting and use of personal protective
equipment, and knowledge of the specific hazards of the chemicals to which
employees are exposed. "Right to Know'' instruction is given by the supervisor or
other qualified person. The supervisor documents the training by maintaining a
signed training roster.
2. HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT:
PG&E's hazardous waste management training provides consistent Company-wide
guidance on proper handling of hazardous materials and wastes. Each facility
determines which employees need this training in relation to their job duties.
The level of training that employees receive is commensurate with their work
activities. In general, employees fall into one of two categories. Category 1
consists of employees who only handle hazardous waste. These employees
receive annual awareness level training on hazardous materials and waste
management. Category 2 consists of employees with specific hazardous waste
management responsibilities. These employees receive annual hazardous waste
training for CoOrdinators and Supervisors. Additionally, these employees are
trained within six months of starting a job asSignment that involves hazardous
waste management duties.
All employees involved in hazardous waste management participate in annual
review sessions pertinent to their responsibilities.

hazardous waste.
Post cleanup sampling is not required. However, local
agencies may request additional sampling.
For known spills where it is difficult to determine the spill
boundaries by visible traces, the Company is required to
use a statistical sampling method to determine the spill
boundaries. Contact your local Safety Environmental
Coordinator for advice on how to do the sampling.
Examples of where this situation may occur are spills on
wet ground or where oil is sprayed under high pressure. If
statistical sampling is used to determine the spill
boundaries, then it must also be used for post cleanup
testing.

may only be delayed beyond 24 hours in case of civil
emergency, adverse weather conditions, lack of access or
emergency operating' conditions. If start of cleanup is
delayed beyond 24 hours, records must be kept that
indicate the type and duration of circumstances that
precluded rapid response. The occurrence of a spill on a
weekend or. overtime cost are not acceptable reasons to
delay Cleanup.
2) For spills in this category, the first company representative
at the spill site must barricade and restrict an area
encompassing all visible traces plus at least a 3 foot
lateral buffer and place a clear visible sign advising
persons to avoid the area.
3) Use absorbent material to collect freestanding liquids for

one or more PCB transformer(s) (500 ppm or greater)
must display the EPA "Caution PCB" label on the front,
rear, and sides of the vehicle.
vii)
Sampling Requirements
Spill classification is based on the PCB concentration in an oil Sample
taken from the source of the spill, not the concentration of PCB's in the
material onto which the PCB's were spilled. Only random post cleanup
samples are to be taken for Iow federal concentration PCB spills but
rigorous sampling is required by the EPA for (1) pre cleanup sampling
data when necessary to establish spill boundaries or (2) post cleanup
samples for high concentration PCB spills. PG&E's approach to the
EPA's recommended rigorous sampling procedure is detailed in
Appendix C of PG&E's "PCB/Oil Cleanup Manual". The complete
rigorous sampling procedure manuals issued by the EPA are available
upon request from the Electric Distribution Department or the Technical
and Ecological Services (TES) Department in San Ramon. For
assistance in taking rigorous samples, phone the TES Department at
(510) 820-2000 and state that a chemical spill has occurred.
viii) Identify personal protective equipment which may be required in the
area.
ix) Evaluate the resources needed, such as manpower, equipment, and
cleanup materials, and call for' outside contractor .assistance if needed.
Cleanup/Disposal Resources are listed in Section 9.
The Emergency Coordinator is responsible for determining when a
cleanup is complete. Depending on the nature and magnitude of the
spill, this decision may be made in consultation with state/local agencies
having jurisdiction in the affected area.
x) ": Determine actions needed to successfully complete containment and
cleanup efforts. Establish an exclusion zone (work area where spill has
been identified), a contamination reduction zone (where
decontamination procedures are conducted and contaminated
protective clothing can be removed), and a support zone (where
persons can wait in a clean environment).
Assemble the emergency response personnel and provide a briefing
detailing the cleanup procedures, protective clothing to be worn, and
equipment to be used. Cleanup efforts must be undertaken to restore
the affected area to its pre-spill condition to the maximum extent
possible.
5~34
x~)
xii)
a) For relatively small spills, absorbent will be applied and re-applied
until there is enough to absorb all the liquid. This material will be
picked up with stiff brooms and shovels and placed in approved
waste containers for disposal in accordance with applicable
regulations.
b) For spills in buildings or on paved areas, a second application of
absorbent will be spread over the contaminated area and swept
with stiff brooms to remove residues which may remain. Spill debris
and cleanup materials will be placed in approved containers for
disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
c) Spill debris and cleanup materials will be placed in approved
containers for disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
Soil which has been removed will be placed in approved waste
containers for disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
d) For spills in catch basins or oil retention ponds, the oil will be
removed by using absorbents or with the assistance of a cleanup
company. If the spill is relatively small, rolls of 3M "Sorbent" Type
100 will be cut into manageable lengths and floated on the surface
of the water to absorb the oil. For larger spills, cleanup companies
may use skimming and separation devices or sorbents.
After the surface of the water has been cleaned, 3M "Sorbent"
Type 156 sheets will be used to scrub the walls of the basin at the
water line. Oil and oily water will be collected for disposal in
accordance with applicable regulations.
e) Decontaminate all equipment and surfaces.
Obtain general release information and record it using the Scene
Management Checklist in Section 8.
Identify appropriate company and agency notification requirements.
4. Proper Handling of Hazardous Waste
After com,.pletion of cleanup, contaminated disposable protective clothing will be
removed by cleanup personnel immediately and placed in an approved waste
container for disposal. Gloves will be removed, and hands will be thoroughly
cleaned with waterless hand cleaner or soap and water and wiped with rags and
'paper towels. Rags and other waste material will be placed in approved waste
containers for disposal in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
All oil, hazardous materials, and cleanuP debris recovered from a spill will be

5P UNDERGROUND TANK LEAK
This procedure should be used for suspected and actual spills and/or releases (leaks) from
underground tanks.
SUSPECTED LEAKS:
This procedure applies to cases where a tank leak is suspected due to any of the
following:
a. An electronic monitoring system alarm;
b. Evidence of product or waste in the tank containment systems or double wall
tank interstitial space;
c. An inventory loss of greater than 0.5 percent of product or waste as
indicated by level monitoring or inventory calculation records over a three
month period;
d. Failure of an initial annual precision test.
e. Evidence of contaminated soil and/or ground water or surface water
contamination in the surrounding area.
Evaluate the hazards and take appropriate steps to minimize danger to human
health and the environment such as isolating the area from human and vehicular
contact and removing sources of ignition. ASSESS YOUR OWN SAFETY PRIOR
TO TAKING ANY ACTION. DO NOT attempt any action which may cause
personal injury or exceeds/contradicts your training in emergency response
procedures.
Remove the tank from service.
Check level monitoring or inventory calculation records.
If the monitoring system has failed or is found to be out of calibration or the
calculation records are in error, repair and/or recalibrate the monitoring system
and/or correct inventory records.
Perform a second precision test if the tank system has previously failed an initial
test.
Return the tank to service after resolving monitoring system or records issues and
(if necessary) after successfully completing a precision test.
If after checking the monitoring system and/or inventory records and/or
performing a precision test, the tank is still suspected of leaking, keep the tank
system out of service and continue with the CONFIRMED LEAKS actions
described below.
5-51
CONFIRMED LEAKS
Unexplained product loss and/or failed precision tests must be considered a cOnfirmed
leak. Follow the steps below for tank systems with confirmed leaks.
1. Begin to fill out a Scene-Management Checklist (Section 8).
Notify the Facility Emergency Coordinator - prOvide him/her with the information
gathered in the Scene - Management Checklist (Section 8).
e
During normal working hours, notify the appropriate Safety and Environmental
Coordinator, who will contact the Environmental Services Department.
If your Safety and Environmental Coordinator cannot be reached, utilize the
Environmental Services Department's 24 hour paging system at (800) 874-
4043. A call to this number will page the appropriate environmental support
person. After selecting the appropriate Business Unit, please provide the
public telephone number (including area code) where you can be contacted
during the hour following your call.
Notify the local administering agency by telephone of the conditions found and
document the notification. Send a confirming written notification to the local
agency within 5 working days. (Contact your Safety and Environmental
Coordinator or the Environmental Services Department for assistance with
agency notifications.)
Remove or lower the level of liquid in the tank to minimize the potential for further
release as follows:
a. If tests indicate the piping (rather than the tank) is leaking, lower the liquid
level in the tank and take the pumps out of service.
o
b. If the tank body is leaking, remove the contents of the tank As soon as
possible with a tanker truck. If the product stored is gasoline, leave a 4- to
6-inch layer in the tank to assure a rich, non-explosive vapor mixture and to
avoid contaminating the product with sludge. This will be removed before
excavating the tank.
When the contents of the tank are lowered or removed and regulatory reports
completed, immediate threats to human health and the environment should have
been mitigated and emergency conditions should no longer exist. However,
additional actions will be required to resolve soil and water issues associated with
leakage of product or waste. Some of the actions that may be required include
subsurface investigations, piping and/or tank repairs, piping and/or tank removal,
soil and water remediation, and written investigation and closure plans approved
by administering agencies. Contact your Safety and Environmental Coordinator
or the Environmental Services Department for assistance with underground tank
leak issues.

1. OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Facility Environmental Emergency Plan is to provide the procedures
and other directives to be carried out in the event of fire, explosion, earthqual~e,
accidental release of hazardous materials or waste, or any other similar emergency.
When such an emergency occurs, the Plan will be implemented by the Facility
Emergency Coordinator. This Plan is designed to minimize hazards to human health,
property and the environment from any unplanned release of hazardous materials
and/or wastes into the air, soil, or water, and has been prepared in accordance with
Titles 19 and 22 of the California Code of Regulations and pertain sections of the
California Health and Safety Code.
Emergency Coordinator
The facility Emergency Coordinator or 'alternate are the PG&E employees who are
respOnsible for coordinating all emergency response measures at this facility. The
Emergency Coordinator or alternate are available at all times, either at the facility or on
an on-call basis. Each facility has one primary Emergency Coordinator and one or more
alternates. They are thoroughly trained and familiar with:
1. All aspects of the facility's Environmental Emergency Plan;
2. All operations and activities at the facility;
3. The facility layout;
4.. The location and characteristics of hazardous material(s) and hazardous waste(s);
5. The location of all emergency equipment;
6. The location(s) of hazardous materials and waste inventories, and emergency
equipment inventories and inspection records for the facility;
In addition, the Emergency Coordinator has the authority to commit the resources
necessary to carry out the Facility Environmental Emergency Plan. See Section 7 for a
more detailed discussion of Emergency Coordinator responsibilities.
Changes and Amendments to the Facility Environmental Emergency Plan
This Plan will be revised under any of the following conditions:
1. The applicable regulations are revised;
2. The Plan is deemed inadequate or fails in an emergency o~ a test;
o
The facility changes in its design, construction, operation, or maintenance such

responses necessary in an emergency;
1-1
4. The list of emergency coordinators changes;
5. The list of emergency equipment changes;
6. A 100% increase over the amount reported on the inventory is present at the
'facility; or
A new hazardous material or waste is present at the facility (which was not
previously disclosed) in amounts which equal or exceed a total volume of 55
gallons, 200 cubic feet at standard temperature and pressure for gases or a total
weight of 500 pounds. If the new material is also listed in 40 CFR 355 as an
"Extremely Hazardous Substance" with a "Threshold Planning Quantity" less than
500 pounds, then it also must be disclosed on the inventory;
8. The notification procedures change in any way.

H. FACILITY DESCRIPTION'
The hydroelectric powerhouse, which has been in operation since 1921, houses
the turbine and generator assembly. Controls for the turbine are enclosed within
the powerhouse. The switchyard adjacent to the powerhouse contains large oil-
filled transformers and SF6 circuit breakers and small oil-filled equipment such as
capacitors and regulators.
2-1
In addition to the operating equipment, the following buildings, structures and
areas are located at this facility. Their locations and areas are shown on the
facility layout, Attachment 2.
Powerhouse:
This multi level .concrete building houses
the turbine and generator, equipment
control battery banks, tools and
equipment for maintaining the facility.
Storage Building:
This building 'houses spare parts for the
hydroelectric plant.
Fence:
The entire yard is surrounded by a chain
link barbed wire topped fence. There are
two entrance gates to the yard.
OPERATING SCHEDULE:
The facility is unstaffed; however, it is periodically inspected by a Roving
Operator who resides adjacent to the powerhouse and is connected to the
remote Powerhouse Control System (see details in Section 4C - Security).
In the event of an emergency at this facility, outside of regular business hours,
an on-call supervisor is available 24 hours per day. See title page for the 24-hour
emergency telephone number.

3. HAZARD ASSESSMENT
A. OBJECTIVE
This section identifies the hazardous materials and wastes that are routinely
found at the facility and their spill potential at the facility.
All personnel involved with handling hazardous materials and wastes have been
trained and are familiar with the hazardous properties of the materials and waste
with which they work.
B.. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND WASTE INVENTORY
Lists of the hazardous materials and wastes generally handled at the facility are .
presented in Attachment 1. The inventory reflects "Threshold Level" reporting,
listing hazardous materials or waste present at the facility in amountS which exceed
a total volume of 55 gallons, 200 cubic feet at standard temperature and pressure
for gases, or a total weight of 500 pounds. Substances present at the facility below
these levels may not be listed, unless the material is listed in 40 CFR 355 as an
"Extremely Hazardous Substance" with a "Threshold Planning Quantity" of less than
500 pounds.
C. FACILITY DRAINAGE
The facility yard is graded such that surface runoff from the hillside, gunited yard
area above the powerhouse, and partially paved area near operators garage
discharges into a containment pond and then to the Kern River. Drainage from
yard area above the transformers and paved area immediately outside fence
discharges through a 4" metal pipe into the Kern River. Runoff from the hillside,
the operators residence, and the paved area outside the powerhouse fence
discharges through 18" CMP into the Kern River. The drainage systems are
illustrated on the Facility Layout Map, Attachment 2.
3-1
D. ADJOINING LAND USES
The facility is located in the Inyo National Fo'rest and is surrounded by
undeveloped land. There are no schools, residential areas, hospitals, or medical
care facilities within 5 miles of the facility.
E. PREVAILING WIND DIRECTION
The prevailing wind direction is from the west ("up the canyon") during the day
and the east ("down the canyon") at night.
F. SPILL POTENTIAL
The oil filled equipment, storage containers, spill prevention tech'niques currently
utilized and the potential for oil spills are described in this section. Small spills .
occurring during normal operation will be contained and cleaned up in accordance
with Section 5 of this Emergency Plan.
1. Turbine/Generator Bearings
?
Within the powerhouse,' there are bearings on the turbine/generator
assemblies containing lubricating oil. The lubricating oil in these bearings is
cooled in coils using water from the penstock which is discharged to the
powerhouse oil sump after cooling the bearing coils. These bearings are
connected to high oil level and high bearing temperature alarms that when
activated will automatically shut down the turbine and generators minimizing
the possibility of an oil spill.
In addition, spills and leaks are prevented by performing regular, scheduled
maintenance on this equipment as well as daily inspections to detect
incipient failures. If oil is spilled it would eventually drain to the powerhouse
sump where it would be contained.
2. Turbine Hydraulic Control System
There is a pressurized hydraulic oil storage tank for the turbine governor
system inside the powerhouse. The oil storage tank is equipped with Iow
level alarms which 'automatically shut the system down the unit. Any oil
spilled would drain into the turbine wicket gate pit which then drains into the
powerhouse sump.
Spill prevention measures currently in effect include periodic inspections; cleaning
up all drips, leaks, or oil traces when observed; use of drip pans and absorbent
materials to catch any minor drips or minute traces of oil; and regular preventive
maintenance on the equipment. Any significant quantities of oil discharged from
this equipment would drain to the sump at the pressure regulator pit where it
would be contained.
3-2
3. Switchyard Operating Equipment
. The plant switchyard contains operating oil-filled transformers and SF6 circuit
breakers. The insulating oil in the equipment is mineral oil. Operations personnel
are notified at the Midway Switching Station, which is staffed 24-hours per day,
of significant leakage of major operating equipment via remote oil level,
equipment malfunction alarms or customer "no voltage" complaints. The oil
filled operating equipment is located on concrete slabs and is surrounded by
concrete curbs. Any oil spilled from the equipment would be contained in these
areas.
G. FIRE POTENTIAL:
All hazardous materials and wastes are stored in regulation containers, minimizing
the possibility of fire. All hazardous waste containers are inspected weekly and an
inspection log is kept by facility .personnel. "No Smoking," and other appropriate
signs are posted where combustible/flammable materials or wastes are handled,
used, or stored. Storage areas are regularly inspected for compliance with
applicable state and local requirements. The insulating fluid used in operating
equipment is designed to operate at high temperatures and typically has a
flashpoint in the range of 290°F - 400°F. Responsible facility personnel have
been trained in the use of portable fire fighting equipment.

In accordance with California regulations (8 CCR "Worker Right-to-Know" and 19
CCR "Business Plan and Inventory") and California Health and Safety Code,
PG&E's Safety, Health and Claims Department oversees training on hazardous
materials in use at Company facilities.
Employees in each department or facility receive "Right to Know" or "Hazard
Communication Training" on specific substances or classes of toxic or hazardous
chemicals they use. Training in,cludes topics such as safe methods for storage
and handling of hazardous materials, proper fitting and use of personal protective
equipment, and knowledge of the specific hazards of the chemicals to which
employees are exposed. "Right to Know" instruction is given by the supervisor or
other qualified person. The supervisor documents the training by maintaining a
signed training roster.
2. HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT:
PG&E's hazardous waste management training provides consistent Company-wide
guidance, on proper handling of hazardous materials and wastes. Each facility
determines which employees need this training in relation to their job duties.
The level of training that employees receive is commensurate with their work
activities. In general, employees fall into one of two categories. Category 1
consists of employees who only handle hazardous waste. These employees
receive annual awareness level training on hazardous materials and waste
management. Category 2 consists of employees with specific hazardous waste
management responsibilities. These employees receive annual hazardous waste
training for Coordinators and Supervisors. Additionally, these employees are
trained within six months of starting a job asSignment tha~ involves hazardous
waste management duties.
All employees involved in hazardous waste management participate in annual
review sessions pertinent to their responsibilities.
Some employees receive on the job training which may include procedures for spill
prevention and spill cleanup and the handling of hazardous materials and
hazardous wastes. Spill prevention procedures and cleanup procedures are
documented in PG&E CES Standard C-T&CS-S0320, PCB/Oil Spill Response for
Electric Distribution Line Equipment or various Substation and Hydro Generation
Bulletins.

Sampling Requirements
Spill classification is based on the PCB concentration in an oil sample
taken from the source Of the spill, not the concentration of PCB's in the
material onto which the PCB's were spilled. Only random post cleanup
samples are to be taken for Iow federal concentration PCB spills but
rigorous sampling is required by the EPA for (1) pre cleanup sampling
data when necessary to establish spill boundaries or (2) post cleanup
samples for high concentration PCB spills. PG&E's approach to the
EPA's recommended rigorous sampling procedure is detailed in
Appendix C of PG&E's "PCB/Oil Cleanup Manual". The complete
rigorous sampling procedure manuals issued by the EPA are available
upon request from the Electric Distribution Department or the Technical
and Ecological Services (TES) Department in San Ramon. For
assistance in taking rigorous samples, phone the TES Department at
(510) 820-2000 and state that a chemical spill has occurred.
Identify personal protective equipment which may be required in the
area.
Evaluate the resources needed, such as manpower, equipment, and
cleanup materials, and call for outside contractor assistance if needed.
Cleanup/Disposal Resources are listed in Section 9.
The Emergency Coordinator is responsible for determining when a
cleanup is complete. Depending on the nature and magnitude .of the
spill, this decision may be made in consultation with state/local agencies
having jurisdiction in the affected area.
Determine actions needed to successfully complete containment and
cleanup efforts. Establish an exclusion zone (work area where spill has
been identified), a contamination reduction zone (where
decontamination procedures are conducted and contaminated
protective clothing can be removed), and a support zone (where
persons can wait in a clean environment).
Assemble the emergency response personnel and provide a briefing
detailing the cleanup procedures, protective clothing to be worn, and
equipment to be used. Cleanup efforts must be undertaken to restore
the affected area to its pre-spill condition to the maximum extent
possible.
5-34
xi)
xii)
a) For relatively small spills, absorbent will be applied and re-applied
until there is enough to absorb all the liquid. This material will be
picked up with stiff brooms 'and shovels and placed in approved
waste containers for disposal in accordance with applicable
regulations.
b) For spills in buildings or on paved areas, a second application of
absorbent will be Spread over the contaminated area and swept
with stiff brooms to remove residues which may remain. Spill debris
and cleanup 'materials will be placed in approved containers for
disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
c) Spill debris and cleanup materials will be placed in approved
containers for disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
Soil which has been removed will be placed in approved waste
containers for disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
d) For spills in catch basins or oil retention ponds, the oil will be
removed by using absorbents or with the assistance of a cleanup
company. If the spill is relatively small, rolls of 3M "Sorbent" Type
100 will be cut into manageable lengths and floated on the surface
of the water to' absorb the oil. For larger spills, cleanup companies
may use skimming and separation devices or sorbents.
After the surface of the water has been cleaned, 3M "Sorbent"
Type 156 sheets will be used to scrub the walls of the basin at the
water line. Oil and oily water will be collected for disposal in
accordance with applicable regulations.
e) Decontaminate all equipment and surfaces.
Obtain general release information and record it using the Scene
Management Checklist in Section 8. '
Identify appropriate company and agency notification requirements.
4. Proper Handling of Hazardous Waste
After completion of cleanup, contaminated disposable protective clothing will be
removed bY cleanup personnel immediately and placed in an approved waste
container for disposal. Gloves will be removed, and hands will be thoroughly
cleaned with waterless hand cleaner or soap and water and wiped with rags and
paper towels. Rags and other waste material will be placed in approved waste
containers for disposal in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
All oil, hazardous materials, and cleanup debris recovered from a spill will be
considered hazardous waste unless it is demonstrated to be non hazardous and
must be disposed of according to applicable state and federal regulations.
Contact the Materials Department, Hazardous Waste Coordinator, or your Safety
and Environmental Coordinator for determination of proPer waste disposal
methods.
5-35
5. Follow-up Actions
a. Decontaminate all equipment or other contaminated surfaces.
b. Restock all emergency spill control equipment and supplies to maintain the
invent°ry listed.
c. Critique spill response actions to identify measures to avoid future incidents
and to improve the efficiency of future spill cleanup actions.
Document Response Actions
Reportable oil spills and hazardous materials releases must be carefully "
documented so that sufficient information is available to appropriate agencies.
Information concerning the spill should be recorded on the Oil Spill Report and
should include photographs for major spills when appropriate.
Send a copy of the completed Spill Report to the appropriate Safety and
Environmental Coordinator and file the original in the Facility Records.
7. Follow-up Reporting
Notify the Corporate Law Department of any environmental release (air, ground
or water) that must be reported to a federal, state or local agency; any

5P UNDERGROUND TANK LEAK
This procedure should be used for suspected and actual spills and/or releases (leaks) from
underground tanks.
SUSPECTED LEAKS:
This procedure applies to cases where a tank leak is suspected due to any of the
following:
a. An electronic monitoring s.~ystem alarm;
b. Evidence of product or Waste in the tank containment systems or double wall
tank interstitial space;
c. An inventory loss of greater than 0.5 percent of product or waste as
indicated by level monitoring or inventory calculation records over a three
month period;
d. Failure of an initial annual precision test.
e. Evidence of contaminated soil and/or ground water or surface water
contamination in the surrounding area.
Evaluate the hazards and take appropriate steps to minimize danger to human
health and the environment such as isolating the area from human and vehicular
contact and removing sources of ignition. ASSESS YOUR OWN SAFETY PRIOR
TO TAKING ANY ACTION. DO NOT attempt any action which may cause
personal injury or exceeds/contradicts your training in emergency response
procedures.
Remove the tank from service.
Check level monitoring or inventory calculation records.
If the monitoring system has failed or is found to be out of calibration or the
calculation records are in error, repair and/or recalibrate the monitoring system
and/or correct inventory records.
Perform a second precision test if the tank system has previously failed an initial
test.
Return the tank to service after resolving monitoring system or records issues and
(if necessary) after successfully completing a precision test.
If after checking the monitoring system and/or inventory records and/or
performing a precision test, the tank is still suspected of leaking, keep the tank
system out of service and continue with the CONFIRMED LEAKS actions
described below.
5-51
CONFIRMED LEAKS
Unexplained product loss and/or failed precision tests must be considered a confirmed
leak. Follow the steps below for tank systems with confirmed leaks.
1. Begin to fill out a Scene-Management Checklist (Section 8).

Remove or lower the level of liquid in the tank to minimize the potential for further
release as follows:
a. If tests indicate the piping (rather than the tank) is leaking, lower the liquid · level in the tank and take the pumps out of service.
b. If the tank body is leaking, remove the contents of the tank As soon as
possible with a tanker truck. If the product stored is gasoline, leave a 4- to
6-inch layer in the tank to assure a rich, non-explosive vapor mixture and to
avoid contaminating the product with sludge. This will be removed before
excavating the tank.
7. When the contents of the tank are lowered or removed and regulatory reports
completed, immediate threats to human health and the environment should have
been mitigated and emergency conditions should no longer exist. However,
additional actions will be required to 'resolve soil and water issues associated with
leakage of product or waste. Some of the actions that may be required include
subsurface investigations, piping and/or tank repairs, piping and/or tank removal,
soil and water remediation, and written investigation and closure plans approved

Capt. Griggs:
In compliance with Section 25505(c) of the California State
Health and Safety Code, PG&E has reviewed its Facility
Environmental Emergency Plan for the Kern Steam Powerplant
and made the necessary changes. This document has been
prepared in compliance with planning requirements outlined~
in SARA, Title III, AB2185, AB3777, and California
Administrative Code, Titles 19 and 22.
We have recently contacted a member of your staff who has
confirmed that you will continue to provide services in the
event of an environmental emergency at this facility, as was
agreed in past years. Enclosed is an updated plan for 1992
which is issued to all agencies agreeing to provide response
service. Please replace your 1991 plan with this copy. You
may wish to record this update on the Change Log, Page I-3.
Any questions regarding this material should be directed to
me at (209) 263-5210.
Sincerely,

1. OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Facility Environmental Emergency Plan is to provide the
procedures and other directives to be carried out in the event of fire,
explosion, earthquake, accidental release of hazardous mateYials or waste, or
any other similar emergency. When such an emergencY occurs, the Plan will be
implemented by the Facility'Emergency Coordinator. This plan is designed to
minimize hazards to human health and the environment from any unplanned release
of hazardous substances and/or wastes into the air, soil, or water, and has
been prepared in accordance with state and federal regulations as set forth in
40 CFR Part 265 and Titles 19 and 22 of the California Code of Regulations.
Emerqency Coordinator
The Facility.Emergency Coordinator is the one PG&E employee at the facility Who
is responsible for coordinating all emergency response measures. The Emergency
Coordinator is available at all times, either at the facility or on an on-call
basis. Each facility has one primary Emergency Coordinator and two or more
alternates. They are thoroughly trained and familiar with:
all aspects of the facility's Environmental Emergency Plan
all operations and activities at the facility
3. the location and characteristics of hazardous substance{s}
the location(s)of inventory and emergency equipment records within the
facility
5. the facility layout
6. the location of all emergency equipment
In addition, the Emergency Coordinator has the authority to commit the
resources necessary to carry out the Facility Environmental Emergency Plan.
See Section 7 for a more detailed discussion of Emergency Coordinator
responsibilities.
Chanqes and Amendments to the Facility Environmental Emerqenc¥ Plan
The appropriate sections of the plan will be revised under any of the following
conditions:
1. The applicable regulations are revised.
2. The plan is deemed inadequate or fails in an emergency.
The facility changes in its design, construction, operation, or
maintenance such that it changes the responses necessary in an emergency.
The list of Emergency Coordinators changes.
5. The list of emergency equipment changes.
1-1
The types and/or maximum expected volumes of hazardous substances handled
or stored change significantly.
7. The notification procedures change in any way.
Changes to the facility's Environmental Emergency Plan will be made under the
direction of the facility Emergency Coordinator.
Copies of the facility's Environmental Emergency Plan have been submitted to
local police/sheriff and fire departments, hospitals, and state and local
emergency response teams as appropriate and required by law. These agencies

4C. SECURITY-
This section describes the basic'security controls and procedures in place at
the facility.
The facility is surrounded by a 6-foot high chain-link fence topped with barbed
wire. The yards perimeter and interior are partially illuminated with manually
controlled lights. The access road to the facility and the plant perimeter.
roadways are fully illuminated at dusk by automatic lights. There are eight
gates located around the yards perimeter. Gate #1 and #3 remain open from
7:00 a.m. 'to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Gate #2 is an automatic gate'
that can be key activated from both sides of the gate or remotely activated
from within the power plant building. The remaining gates are locked when not
in use.
The fence perimeter is checked for unauthorized entry by the General Foreman
every morning. Inspections include checking the integrity of the fence and
gates (bent or cut wires, holes under fence, etc.).
In cases of weekend or after,hours, employees entering or leaving the facility
buildings re-lock all gates and doors. All employees are instructed to watch
for strangers at the facility and question them regarding any unusual activity.
PG&E's Security Manual details standard PG&E security measures and is issued to
each facility supervisor.
4-11
4D. TRAINING
PG&E has two complementary training programs that address the proper handling
and management of hazardous materials and wastes at Company facilities. The
training programs meet the employee training requirements of both federal and
state regulations as they apply to Hazardous Waste Contingency Plans {40 CFR
265 and CCR Title 22) and Hazardous Materials Business Plans (CCR Title 19).
Hazardous Materials Use and Handling:
In accordance with California Title 8 "Worker Right-to-Know" requirements
and the provisions of Title 19 of the California Code of Regulations
(AB 2185}, PG&E's Safety, Health and Claims Department oversees training
on hazardous materials in use at Company facilities.
Employees in each department or facility receive "Right to Know"
instruction and additional training on specific substances or classes of
toxic or hazardous chemicals they use. "Right to Know" instruction is
given by the supervisor or by the Safety Engineering Representative.
Training on specific toxic or hazardous chemicals is given by the Safety
Engineering Representative, an Industrial Hygienist, or other technically
qualified personnel who, because of education, training, or experience,
understand the health risks and necessary safety precautions associated
with each toxic or hazardous substance. Supervisors document both types
of training by maintaining a signed training roster.
Hazardous Waste Manaqement:
'PG&E's hazardous waste management training program provides consistent
company-wide guidance on proper handling of hazardous materials and
wastes. Each facility determines which employees need this training in
relation to their job duties.
The training modules include an eight to fifteen-minute videotape
presentation, a question and answer session, optional classroom exercises,
and a self-paced examination. The training modules in this program
include:
a. Introduction to Hazardous Waste Management
b. Hazardous Waste Identification
c. Hazardous Waste Storage Areas
d. Hazardous waste Packaging and Labeling
e. Hazardous Waste Manifests
f. Hazardous Waste Transportation
g. Emergency Response
4-12
Employees assigned hazardous wastemanagement responsibilities complete an
entire module for each hazardous waste job function that they will be
performing. This training is completed within six months of the start of
their new assignment. All employees involved in hazardous waste
management participate in annual review sessions pertinent to their
responsibilities.
o
PG&E employees may receive several other types of training as appropriate
in the'areas of hazardous materials handling and hazardous waste
management. These include:
ao
Weekly "tailboards'' are held, during which job-related haz.ardous
materials andwastes issues may be discussed. Formal Accident
Prevention Meetings are held six times per year.
bo
Fire resp°nse and fire extinguisher training with a reference to the
PG&E Fire Prevention Manual is provided for all physical and
semi-physical PG&E personnel. Each worker also receives a PG&E
Accident Prevention Book which includes information on fire training.
Six hours per year of First Aid instruction is provided for all
physical and semi-physical PG&E personnel. The instruction is
presented by qualified PG&E-approved personnel and includes CPR
training.
PCB training, including PCB sPill response, waste packaging and
labelling, transportation, and general health and safety concerns
related to PCBs, is given to Electric'T&D and Substation empl~i)yees.
Incipient stage fire brigade training, which provides first-response
training for small or easily extinguishable fires, is given to
individuals with emergency response roles.
fe
One-on-one or small group training, where a supervisor zeroes in on
specific tasks or activities related to hazardous materials or waste
management, is given tomany employees.

5. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES
We always try to do all work and transportation activities at a facility in a
safe and legal manner, .but events may occur which could result in an accident
or emergency situation. For.these emergencies, it is important that
appropriate actions be taken by the involved employees to minimize any possible
bad effects.
An emergency situation may include a spill or leak, fire, explosion, equipment
failure, vehicle accidents, a chemical reaction, natural disaster and employee
exposure, accident, injury or other mishap.
The emergency procedUres presented in this section give, in order, the basic
steps to be followed for the "average" emergency situation. For some "average"
emergency situations and more severe emergencies, arrangements-for acquiring
outside, additional assistance have been made by the Facility Emergency
CoordinatOr. (See Section 4E of this plan.)
Here is a brief summary of the basic response actions.that should be taken in
an emergency situation:
1. In a fire event, immediately call the local Fire Department (or.gl1).
2. Take care of any injured; call paramedics or an ambulance for help.
3. Call the Facility Emergency Coordinator or FacilitY Supervisor.
4. Ident'ify the cause of the emergency and IF IT CAN BE DONE SAFELY, take
actions to prevent the situation from worsening.
a. Use personal protective clothing and equipment.
b. Fight only small fires.
c. Remove sources of ignition.
d. Close valves, or containers.
Dike, divert, or absorb liquids.
Cover or sUppress emissions (using soil, water, foam, plastic,
etc.).
g. Protect storm drains and sewers.
h. Turn off building ventilation systems.
i. As appropriate, protect the environment and property.
j. Mark areas to warn others, restrict access, and prevent accidental
contamination or track-out.

5. As time permits, record notes on the incident (who, what, when, where,
why). Use the Scene-Management Checklist in Section 8 for this
purpose.
6. ~rovide assistance to emergency personnel as appropriate.
The emergency procedures presented in this plan cover responding to a fire,
spill, underground tank leak, earthquake, flood, and bomb threat. Each
procedure contains the required notification and reporting requirements.
