EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
INTRODUCTION
This Plan is designed to mJ.nJ.mJ.ze hazards to employees, public
health or the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned
sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous materials, hazardous
waste or hazardous constituents to air, soil, surface water or
groundwater. The Plan is designed to set procedures for reporting
all releases or threatened releases of hazardous materials which
pose a potential hazard to public health and/or to the environment.
The local regulatory agency will be notified within thirty (30)
days after a change to this Plan or change of inventory. The
agency will be notified immediately on all reportable releases or
threatened releases of hazardous materials.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
When a RELEASE is obsèrved or threatened, that poses a potential
hazard to public health and/or the environment, the following steps
will be taken:
1. THE FIRST STEP is to determine the existence, or
potential existence of hazardous material. Where
unidentified substances or vapors are involved in these
incidents, it is always prudent to assume they are toxic
or hazardous until determined otherwise.
2. IMMEDIATELY after ascertaining the location of any
incident involving hazardous materials, contact the
Safety Coordinator, who will determine appropriate
personnel/equipment to be dispatched to the scene.
3. THE SAFETY COORDINATOR, or his designee, will contact 911
and the local regulatory agency will initiate the
emergency response plan. When there is a potential for
hazardous material of any type to enter drains or
waterways, call 911 and give full particulars.. . they will
make notification.
4. SCENE MANAGEMENT shall be' the responsibility of the
Primary Contact/Safety Coordinator until the arrival of
public safety response personnel.
5. PROTECTION ON SCENE It is imperati vet;o . protect
responders and by-standers from minor ~nJury or
contamination. Personnel first on the scene should
immediately take steps to secure the area and establish
perimeter control at a safe distance until such time that
an agency, e.g. Police or Fire Personnel, arrives and
assumes this responsibility. This would include, when
applicable, attempt to contain any hazardous material
spill, utilizing spill containment material available at
the site.
6. EVACUATION - The Safety Coordinator must determine if
there is any potential danger to individuals in the area
and take appropriate steps to notify and evac~ate.
Assistance will normally be furnished by law enforcement
agencies. In major incidents, county and/or City
Disaster Officials will be involved. In major incidents
evacuation, reception and care will be followed as
described in the County's Major Disaster Plan.

7. CLEAN-UP RESPONSIBILITY is determined by the cause of the
incident. If caused by this Company, this Company has
the responsibility to clean-up (either by Company
personnel or approved contractor). If it is determined
to not be this Company's responsibility, responsible
party will be liable for clean-up.
8. DECONTAMINATION - Appropriate steps must be taken to
decontaminate all victims and response personnel. Local
hospitals have facilities to assist in this procedure.
Care must be taken to avoid spread of contamination by
response vehicles leaving the scene.
9. EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONSE - When needed, the Safety
Coordinator or his designee should contact the nearest
emergency hospital facility, ambulance service, and/or
other medical services. If 911 is called, County
Communications will be responsible for dispatching
all necessary ambulances and coordinating reception of
victims at appropriate hospitals. They will follow
normal prescribed procedures and supplement with specif ic
exchange of information if contamination is involved.
10. IDENTIFICATION - As requested, County Communications will
relay information between the response units at the scene
and certain other agencies.
RELEASES TO BE REPORTED
a. Upon discovery of any release or threatened release of
a hazardous material that poses a hazard to public health
and/or the environment, we will immediately report to the
local agency, and to the Office of Emergency Services.
We will provide all State, City, County, Fire or Public
Heal th or Safety Personnel and Emergency Rescue Personnel
with access to the facility.
b. Release is defined as spilling, leaking, pumping,
pour ing , emi tting , emptying, discharging, inj ecting ,
escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing of any material
which poses a potential hazard to public health and/or
the environment, unless permitted or authorized by a
regulatory agency.
c. "Threatened Release" means a condition creating a
substantial probability of harm, when the probability and
potential extent of harm make it reasonably necessary to
take immediate action to prevent, reduce, or mitigate
damages to persons, property or the environment.

SECTION V. REACTIVITY DATA
1'I11s 1s a stable ¡wIld il\ u sealed container at room tcmperatun¡. When exposea 1:0 I:nC i11.(,
it will slowly absorb carbon dioxide to torm cálclum carbonate. When heated at tempera-
tures above suO C, it loses water to form calcium oxide or lime.
Calcium hydroxide is a strongly alkaline material which is incompatible with acidic
materials. It forms salts with nitroparaff1ns in the presence of water which are
explosive when dried. It can cause the explot>ive decomposition of maleic anhydride.
lloiling elemental phosphorus in a calcium hydroxide solution can liberate spontaneously
f lanunable phosphlno:s. It liberates NHJ from ammonium sales. ;

Inhala tiun: ltemove to fresh air. Res tore and/or support breathing. Consult physician for
~bseiVãt10n and treatment.
lnges~~~: If victún is conscious, give 2-3 glasses of milk or water to drink to dilute.
Do I\ot induce vomiting. Contact physician promptly. If vomiting occurs, give more flules.
SECTION VII. SPILL, LEAK, AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
Notify süfety )¡.:rsonnel for large l:ipill¡¡. Avoid producing duaty conditionti. Scoop up solid
for recovery or disposal. Flush residues and liquid spills to holding area for neutra-
li~ation before discharge. Those involved in clean-up need protection against skin
contact or inhalation of dU$t or mist. Flu5h residue with copious amounts of water.
~SAL: After neutralization with, for example, dilute HC1, and further dilution,
liquid waates can u$ually be flushed to drain with much water.
Follow Federal, State, LInd Local regulatiol\a. -
Solid $crap can be reserved for neutralization of acidic wastes.
SECTION VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
UäC general and local cxhuu:>t ventilation to meet TLV for nuisance duat and to prevent
irritating concentrations of dust or mist in the workplace. Ventilation requirements
