DISCLAIMER



• Identify the key factors that should be considered as part of the decontamination, clean-up and incident termination process.

• Describing the process for transitioning from emergency phase to post-emergency response operations.

OBJECTIVES



• State and federal environmental agencies will assume key roles, especially with spill control, remediation and public health monitoring.

• Response objectives will change as the incident moves from response to PERO

• Containment and recovery will be conducted in coordination under the direction of Unified Command.

OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS



The railroads consider the following factors for incident remediation and clean-up:• Determine and implement appropriate decontamination processes

and procedures to minimize secondary contamination.• Determine an effective means to contain all decontamination/gray

water runoff.• Ensure re-entry air monitoring for evacuees.• Implement product transfer and remediation measures to minimize

further contamination.• Transition from emergency phase to post-emergency response

operations.




• For both ethanol and petroleum crude oil the recommended decontamination method is large amounts of water.

• For skin contact use soap and water.

DETERMINE APPROPRIATE DECONTAMINATION



• Establish the decon line outside of the exclusion/hot zone, downwind and downhill of cold zone/occupied areas.

• Containment of runoff/gray water is important.

• Construct a lagoon or pool using existing terrain features.




• Use bladders or portable tanks.

• Plan on daily service, treatment and/or removal.

• Ensure re-entry monitoring is conducted for evacuees




• Follow the Emergency Response Plan.

• Transfer of command is a formal process. Ensure a complete handoff briefing.

• Conduct a After Action Review (AAR):– What worked– What didn’t work– Lessons learned– What changes are needed

TRANSITION TO POST-EMERGENCY OPS



• Commodity Preparedness and Incident Management Reference Sheet

• Clean-Up and Post Emergency Operations

REFERENCE SHEET RECAP



• In this module we presented the following information:– Key factors that should be considered as part of the decontamination, clean-

up and incident termination process.– The process for transitioning from emergency phase to post-emergency

phase.
