PART II. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES <br />Water emergencies can occur as a result of vandalism, sabotage, accidental contamination, <br />mechanical problems, power failures, drought, flooding, and other natural disasters. The purpose <br />of emergency planning is to develop emergency response procedures and to identify actions <br />needed to improve emergency preparedness. In the case of a municipality, these procedures <br />should be in support of, and part of, an all-hazard emergency operations plan. If your <br />community already has written procedures dealing with water emergencies we recommend that <br />you use these guidelines to review and update existing procedures and water supply protection <br />measures. <br />Federal Emergency Response Plan <br />Section 1433(b) of the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended by the Public Health Security and <br />Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-188, Title IV — Drinking <br />Water Security and Safety) requires community water suppliers serving over 3,300 people to <br />prepare an Emergency Response Plan. Community water suppliers that have completed the <br />Federal Emergency Response Plan and submitted the required certification to the U.S. <br />Environmental Protection Agency have satisfied Part II, Sections A, B, and C of these <br />guidelines and need only provide the information below regarding the emergency response <br />plan and source water protection plan and complete Sections D(Allocation and Demand <br />Reduction Procedures), and E (Enforcement). <br />Provide the following information regarding your completed Federal Emergency Response Plan: <br />Emer enc Res onse Plan Contact Person Contact Number <br />Emer enc Res onse Lead Ton Thu 651-775-3511 <br />Alternate Emer enc Res onse Lead Duane Schwartz 651-775-3505 <br />Emer enc Res onse Plan Certification Date June 2004 <br />Operational Contingency Plan.
