PART II. EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCECURES <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 community <br />already has written procedures dealing with water emergencies we recommend that you use these <br />guidelines to review and update existing procedures and water supply protection 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 />Eme 1 en Res , onse- Plan " <br />Contact Person <br />Contact Number <br />Emer_enc Res s onse Lead <br />Tim Hillesheim <br />651 982 -2452 <br />Alternate;Emer_en Response Lead <br />Rick De_ardner <br />651 982 -2440 <br />Emer_en Ressouse Plan Certification Date <br />Operational Contingency Plan.
