VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
THE RISK NlANAGEMENT PROGR.AM
OVERVIEW
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a new
rule under the Clean Air Act (Section 112R) known as the Risk
'Management (Rule). The Program identifies the potential
for accidental release of toxic and flammable substances.
The Rule consists of a Risk Management Program and a Risk
Management Plan (RMP). Essentially, the Risk Management Program
consists of documents and procedures that are put in place at the
source or process to help prevent, or reduce, the effects of an
accidental release of a toxic or flammable substance. Over the
past several months, the Vill`age has been working on developing a
Risk Management Program, in addition to identifying requirements
for normal safety practices. The Rule is not "technology driven"
meaning that it does not require a source, which is subject to
the Ru1e, to have equipment, facilities, technologies, etc., in
place to prevent or reduce accidental releases of the regula�ed
substances nor. does the Rule set any limits that would require
the Utilities to purchase equipment, facilities or technologies
in order to meet those limits nor does the Rule require the
-- Utilities to change its current disinfection practices. The
Rule requires sources to make the public aware of potential risks
of toxic or flammable substances in their possession or area, and
to help that source assure it has reasonable procedures,
training, planning and documentation at the source. This will
help prevent or reduce risks to employees, public and the
environment associated with an accidental release of a toxic or
flammable substance.
�•
f
The Risk Management Plan (RMP) separates a process into 1 of 3
program levels, Program 1, 2 or 3. As the program level
increases, the Rule increases the criteria and requirements for
documents and procedures that must be in place at the source in
order to be in compliance.
The RMP is a summary, or brief description of the documentation
and procedures that are already in place at the stationary
source. Essentially, the EPA has created a computer software
program called RMP. * Submit, with short answer questions to be
checked off, or filled in, and submitted to the EPA in electronic
form. � � `'
To be subject to the Rule, a stationary source must store over
the threshold amount of a regulated toxic or flammable substance
in any single process. These toxic and flammable substances and
threshold amounts are as listed in the Rule. The Village falls
under the definition of an entity that must comply and stores a
regulated substance, chlorine (in gas/liquid form), above the
threshold amount in all of their existing processes. Therefore,
the Village is subject to the Rule and must submit the RMP by
June 21, 1999.
The Village is considered to be Program 3 under EPA's Risk
Management Plan due to its Water Treatment Facility. Under
Program 3, the Village is required to be OSHA PSM complaint. The
PSM stands for Process Safety Management. This guideline is
being met under the Village Risk Management Plan that is
presently being developed.
The objective of PSM is to identify the location of highly
hazardous materials, how they are stored and handled in order to
prevent unwanted releases of the material. A PSM Program
outlines the entire approach for employees to implement for the
handling of chemicals and its associated processes.
