Box 6607 Englewood, co 80155-6607 Tel 303 740.0019 Fax 303 74o.7o61 March 16, 1999 Mr. Danny R. Johnson Director of Utilities City of Stephenville 298 W. Washington Stephenville, TX 76401 RE: Proposal for Preparing an EPA Risk Management Plan and OSHA Process Safety Management Plan for the Stephenville Wastewater Treatment Plant Dear Mr. Johnson: Per your request, this letter provides a proposal and budget for preparing a Risk Management and Process Safety Management Plan for the Stephenville Wastewater Treatment Plant operated by Operations Management Inc. (01VU). The Plans are required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Risk Management Program (RMP) rule, Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (40 CFR Part 68), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Process Safety Management (PSM) standard (29 CFR 1910.1 19) when listed chemicals exceed the threshold quantities detailed by these regulations. For your Wastewater Treatment Plant, chlorine exceeds the threshold limit triggering the need for this Plan. As we discussed, OMI has the capability to prepare these Plans for the City of Stephenville much more economically than an outside consultant. OMI has retained the in-house expertise to prepare PSM/RIvIP's and offers the following scope of work and budget to complete the project by the June 21, 1999 regulatory deadline. Scope of Work The Project consists of providing the City of Stephenville assistance in developing a Process Safety Management/Risk Management Plan (PSM/RMP) for the Stephenville Wastewater Treatment Plant. Peter J. Cohlmia, OMI's Risk Management consultant will work with ONE and the City of Stephenville to complete the following scope to meet the key elements of the PSM/RMP: l4 8 I. Prepare Orientation Materials A. Develop a summary paper containing the following elements to educate the City of Stephenville personnel regarding the purpose of the program and its key requirements: 1. Clean Air Act Section 112(r) overview, 2. Specific elements of the program, 3. Potential affects on OMI and the City of Stephenville personnel, and 4. Schedule for project. II. Develop Required Data Elements for the PSM/RMP including: A. Management System B. Hazard Assessment 1. Analyze the circumstances and events that could result in releases of acutely hazardous substance. 2. Identify the worst -case release for the Plants and alternative release scenarios for each regulated chemical. 3. Use air dispersion models with the release modes and suitable representative meteorological data. 4. Evaluate potential off -site consequences of release scenarios in terms of public health and environmental receptors. 5. Compile a five-year accident history. C. Prevention I. Determine and describe how employees will be involved in the development of the hazard analysis and other program elements. 2. Document covered process safety information. 3. Develop a thorough, orderly and systematic approach to the identification, evaluation and control of processes involving hazardous substances. 4. Develop and document operating procedures for the covered processes. 5. Develop a training program to help employees and contractors understand the nature and causes of potential hazards arising from operation of the covered processes. 6. Develop a program to ensure that contractors working on or near the covered processes are trained and aware of the dangers associated with the process. 7. Document requirements for the start-up of the covered processes after shutdown for routine or non -routine maintenance or in case of emergency shutdown. 8. Develop a mechanism to ensure the mechanical' integrity of the covered processes. 9. Ensure that procedures and a checklist are prepared for any hot work performed around the covered systems. 209 10. Prepare a procedure that will capture any proposed or intended change to the covered systems such that the hazard review and operating procedures are modified to reflect the changes prior to operation. 11. Develop a formal documented system of managing and recording incident investigations. 12. Develop a process safety program evaluation methodology. D. Emergency Response Program 1. Develop an emergency planning and response procedure. E. Risk Management Plan 1. Develop a Risk Management Plan that summarizes the PSM/RMP and meets the data elements requirements (EPA Submit) for submittal to EPA by June 21, 1999. The PSM/RMP shall be submitted to the City of Stephenville in draft form for review and approval prior to submittal to EPA. Budget and Schedule We propose to provide these services to the City of Stephenville for approximately $15,000. This price compares very favorably to the cost of hiring outside consultants who do not know the Stephenville Wastewater Treatment Plant operations or personnel. OMI has developed contacts with the local regulators and emergency planning authorities which will assist greatly in the efficient and timely completion of this project. These contacts will be very beneficial in the development of the off -site consequence analyses and in the emergency notification requirements. OMI would appreciate approval to begin this work for the City of Stephenville as soon as possible in order to complete the project by the June 21, 1999 regulatory deadline. If you concur with this proposal or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 965-3668 or Mr. Pete Cohlmia at 303-268-4201. Upon written approval from the City of Stephenville, OMI will begin work immediately on the PSM/RMP for the Stephenville Wastewater Treatment Plant. We appreciate the opportunity to propose on this work Sincerely, 2 Johnny Davis, OMI Project Manager Stephenville Wastewater Treatment Plant cc: Pete Cohlmia, OMI Risk Management Consultant Ed Schwab, OMI Regional Business Manager L Z:a MAXIM T[CNNOLOG IIS INC March 1, 1999 Mr. Ronnie Isham Director of Community City of Stephenville 298 W.
