PRESENTATION(S)

Agenda Item #7 FLORIDA’S STORAGE TANK

REGULATIONS OVERVIEW

John Meyer/Sarah Brownlee/

Hannah Westervelt

In conjunction with the November 28, 2018 meeting, LEPC staff showed a U.S. Chemical Safety Board video entitled

“Filling Blind” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=41QMaJqxqIo). The video characterized a 2009 explosion at the

Caribbean Petroleum terminal facility near San Juan, Puerto Rico when gasoline overflowed and sprayed out from

a large aboveground storage tank, forming a 107-acre vapor cloud that ignited. No fatalities resulted from the

explosion but approximately 300 nearby homes and businesses were damaged and petroleum leaked into the

surrounding soil, waterways and wetlands. In total, 17 of the facility's 48 storage tanks were destroyed.

The video indicated that petroleum storage facilities are not regulated under the same process safety management

regulations as oil refineries and chemical plants handling the same flammable chemicals. In fact, current EPA

requirements under the Clean Water Act only require that petroleum storage tanks have a single layer of

protection to prevent an overfill. Following the presentation, several questions were fielded, mostly related to

Florida’s storage tank requirements. Not having the answers, Mr. Meyer indicated that he would solicit a

presentation from Florida’s tank regulation official(s) in association with a future LEPC meeting, hence this

presentation.

A presentation will be provided by Sarah Brownlee and Hannah Westervelt of the Department of Environmental

Protection on the basics of storage tank management in the state of Florida. The slideshow will address Florida’s

rules and regulations, the facility inspection process and requirements as a tank owner. Included will be an

overview of field erected tanks and overfill protection. A question and answer session will follow the presentation.

Agenda Item #8 OPERATION DOUBLE STACK LEPC/CSX EXERCISE OVERVIEW John Meyer

With the assistance of Exercise Director Capt. Mike Bloski (SMFR), Exercise Facilitator Compliance Associates Inc.

& CSX, the Tampa Bay LEPC has able to implement a very successful functional exercise known as “Operation

Double Stack.” The exercise simulated the derailment of various rail cars transporting various hazardous materials

commodities adjacent to the entrance to Port Manatee in northern Manatee County. The exercise tested the

response and remediation efforts of various agencies and entities and mandated coordination for additional

hazmat response assistance and resources from Hillsborough County Fire Rescue & Tampa Fire Rescue as well as

CSX Contractors. The exercise was hosted at the Manatee County Emergency Operations Center. Artificially

interjected weather conditions hampered the response efforts and further threatened several critical Manatee

County facilities (e.g. Port Manatee & Manatee County Jail). Road closures, evacuations and implementation of

Shelter-in-Place principles were all ordered.

Many lessons were learned during the exercise including: the need for seclusion of Incident Command to minimize

distractions & disruptions; the plethora of experience and resources available from the CSX Contractors; and the

need to include CSX Contractor(s) with the hazardous materials teams in responding to railcar incident(s).


The following agencies/entities participated in the exercise:

! CSX

! Southern Manatee Fire Rescue/Hazmat

! North River Fire District

! East Manatee Fire Rescue

! Hillsborough County Fire Rescue

! Tampa Fire Rescue

! Manatee County Emergency Management

Agenda Item #10 HMEP PLANNING PROGRAM/FACILITY

DISASTER PLANNING SUBCOMMITTEE (FDPS)John Meyer

The HMEP Planning Team remains ready to conduct Siren Workshops and companion Shelter-in-Place

presentations on short notice at the request of various schools, community groups and/or civic associations

located in close proximity to the Port of Tampa.

The Facility Disaster Planning Subcommittee (FDPS) last met on October 24, 2018 with presentations provided

by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office and the Tampa Police Department regarding their anticipated Re-Entry

programs to affected area following a disaster. Each of these agencies was additionally asked to identify

preferred/recommended badging/credentials that would assist them with enabling critical facility personnel to

expeditiously access their potentially impacted hazardous materials facilities. A similar presentation has been

requested and will be provided by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, perhaps in association with the next

FDPS meeting.

Once the third (of three) presentations from local law enforcement agencies has been provided, the FDPS will

proceed to identify/promote any/all commonality of universal badging/credentialing that has been determined.

The next FDPS meeting has tentatively been scheduled for July 24th. All LEPC members and the public are

welcome to attend and participate in future FDPS meetings.

Agenda Item #11TAMPA BAY LEPC’S

HMEP TRAINING PROGRAMVice Chair James Johnston

Each year, the Tampa Bay LEPC receives HMEP funding in which to assist in meeting some of the hazardous

materials training objectives requested by public-sector first responders located in the Tampa Bay LEPC’s six

County District, including their associated municipalities. Noting that the program has been established with U.S.

Department of Transportation (USDOT) funding, each course must be pre-approved by FDEM/USDOT, must meet

FDEM’s cost effectiveness criteria and be transportation-related or at least include a transportation component

or nexus. All courses will include a nominal fee to be retained by the LEPC/TBRPC in order to cover administrative

expenses.

The FY 2018-19 HMEP Training budget for the Tampa Bay LEPC is $77,719.80 and spans the period of October 1,

2018 - September 30, 2019. Exhibit 3 (i.e. Page 19 of these Agenda materials) identifies the current and tentative

FY 2018-19 HMEP Training expenses.

HMEP Training Subcommittee Chair James Johnston has scheduled a HMEP Training Subcommittee meeting on Wednesday, May

22, 2019 at 9:30 A.M. at the LEPC/TBRPC offices, one hour prior to the scheduled start of the LEPC quarterly meeting. The primary

focus of the meeting will be to further refine and perhaps finalize the training expenditures that are planned in association with

the FY 2018-19 HMEP Training Contract.

is $12,700 (i.e. $12,000 + $700 CM Fee). The remaining balance of $2,850 of the course instruction would be paid by a combination of “Northern District”

Counties at a rate to be pre-determined.

10. The projected cost for three 8-Hr. Toxicology courses is $7,800 for >30 students (i.e. $7,300 + $500 CM Fee).

Italicized dollar amounts signify course cost estimates. These estimates will be replaced with actual costs, once determined.

[INITIAL] Hillsborough County FR (HCFR) reported

“a potential hazmat release at a dairy processing

plant in Tampa. The plant has been temporarily

evacuated while they investigate the source of the

release. Tampa FD is on-scene.” [UPDATE #1]

HCFR FR identified that “two patients were

transported to Tampa General Hospital. The

evacuation order has been lifted. Tampa FR is still

on-scene.” [UPDATE #2] FDEP has advised that

“800 gallons of Nitric/Phosphoric Acid has been

pumped into a tank and foaming caused an

overflow in the street. The RP has acquired a

pallet of Sodium Bicarbonate bags which FD will

apply to neutralize the acids.” [UPDATE #3] FDEP

spoke with on-scene Hazmat Chief who indicated

that “the release occurred during an off-load from

a tanker into a tank that had another chemical in

it and the two had an exothermic reaction which

resulted in foam spilling over the tank and onto

the floor.” [UPDATE #4] It was determined that

Southeast Dairy’s transportation company

(Chemical Systems Inc.) was “taking a refill from

Nitric Acid tanker.” FDEP concluded that “an

unknown amount of Nitric Acid and Phosphoric

mixed together causing the reaction in the tank

during the loading process.”

“a release of Hydrogen Sulfide in a vehicle at

Edward Medard Park in Plant City. The release has

been contained to the vehicle and a perimeter set

up around it until the hazmat team can arrive.

HCSO & HCFR are on-scene.” [UPDATE #1] FDEP

indicated that they “called and spoke with HCFR to

ensure air monitoring was being conducted and

the IDLH was known. HCFR stated that both were.

An inquiry was made as to where to bring the

chemical once it was removed from the vehicle.

HCFR was informed to make sure the chemical was

done reacting (if it was not, they could neutralize

and pH it) and then take it to the Hillsborough

HHW... No OER response warranted at this time.”
