Yellowstone River sub-Area Contingency Plan Overview
Supplementary Environmental Project – Yellowstone sACP
Supplemental Environmental Project• Yellowstone River Basin Sub-Area Contingency Plan (sACP)• Tactical Response Plan (TRP)• Additional spill response equipment and equipment
staging • Training and exercises for local emergency responders
including:• Training on the content and use of the sACP and TRP• Boom deployment and hands-on use of response equipment; • Additionally, targeted grant funding may be provided to
assist LEPC’s or other appropriate party in the region provide training (e.g., HAZWOPER) to local individuals
• sACP and TRP annual maintenance for three years
Tactical Response PlansPurpose: To provide responders with a pre-developed plan of action in
the event of an incident.
1.) Reduces critical initial response time by identifying the following:- Staging Areas- Protection areas- Recovery areas
2.) Pre-identified response sites take the guess work out of resource deployment.
- Booming strategies on maps with optional driving directions
- Pre-populated ICS 204 forms (Work Assignment)
3.) It aims to protection the public’s Health and Safety and Environment.
- Environmentally Sensitive Areas- Water Intakes/Irrigation Intakes- Local, State, and Federal Parks/Schools/Public
Facilities
Tactical Response PlansFunction:Tactical Response Plans may be used for actual emergencies or
training purposes.
1.) Actual emergencies:- Pages from the document may be copied and sent into the field for rapid deployment.
2.)Training purposes:- Familiarizes responders with the surrounding terrain, response techniques, and procedures.
Tactical Response Plans are created to be NIMS compliant, to adhere to the “universal language” of the ICS process.- ICS 204 forms- Response techniques- Equipment types and deployment methods
Tactical Response PlansBenefits:
1.) All parties (RP, local, state, federal, contractor) involved are able to work off the same plan with the same set of instructions.
2.) Ensures allocation of resources to the highest priority protection sites.- If no plan is in place to begin with, OSRO’s and field responders have to develop impromptu strategies, potentially proving costly to the response.
