Intel
Final Project Agreement
-- Terms and Conditions of the FPA (cont.)
- CONTINGENCY PLANNING
Various federal statutes require the development
and implementation of emergency plans in the event of industrial accidents
and/or releases of chemical substances that may be harmful to human
health or the environment. Intel is required to implement for the
Ocotillo Site a contingency plan under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, a hazardous materials management plan under the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, a spill prevention control
and countermeasure plan under Section 311 of the Clean Water Act and
a risk management plan under Section 112r of the Clean Air Act.
Under this FPA, Intel will implement by January 1,
1997 a single emergency plan for the Ocotillo Site that integrates
all applicable environmental requirements as they relate to emergency
planning, to the extent authorized by law. In particular, these emergency
planning requirements will be incorporated within the already effective
and nationally recognized Chandler Fire Department Hazardous Materials
Management Plan ("HMMP") for Intel. The information in the HMMP will
be integrated into the computer-based Emergency Information System
maintained by Intel and the Chandler Fire Department. The benefits
associated with this innovative approach are:
- Enhanced community accessibility and understanding
of emergency response information, including public availability
of the Emergency Information System;
- Enhanced preparedness and prevention activities
by Intel and the Chandler Fire Department due to increased clarity
of requirements; and
- Enhanced emergency response by the City of
Chandler Fire Department due to an on-board HMMP Emergency Information
System computer on emergency response vehicles.
With a single consolidated emergency plan, Intel's
preparedness and prevention activities will be more effective. Moreover,
emergency response by qualified responders is enhanced because of
their greater familiarity with the Ocotillo Site and being able to
respond to all emergencies with consistent information. As a result,
such a plan will provide greater protection of human health and the
environment. This plan also will reduce the administrative burden
associated with developing and maintaining several plans for essentially
the same types of risks.
