EPA ED_001523_00002388-00004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hurricane Harvey 2017 9/10/2017 - 0700 CDT Update Office of Emergency Management Director Reggie Cheatham and 0MB Budget Manager Jodi Beringer will visit the Region 6 Emergency Operations Center and ASPECT aircraft during scheduled maintenance in Addison today, September 10, 2017. They will travel to Houston on Monday, September 11, 2017 to tour EPA's command post, the Houston laboratory, TAGA mobile laboratory and the San Jacinto Waste Pits Superfund site. Monitoring teams identified elevated readings of volatile organic compounds in the area between Pasadena Refining Systems, Inc. and Kinder Morgan's Pasadena Terminal near the Houston Ship Channel and have scheduled additional air monitoring by the TAGA in the area on September 10, 2017. EPA has confirmed 21 of the 39 disaster declaration counties are currently providing private well testing for area residents. Four counties are offering free testing. The other seventeen are providing low cost ($16.50) well testing through the Department of Health. EPA is assessing if the remaining 18 counties need additional support. Community Liaison deployments continue to assist impacted counties by providing information about environmental and health challenges associated with returning to flood damaged homes. EPA shared approved fact sheets from TCEQ/EPA for returning residents to over 5,000 local, state, tribal and industry partners for further distribution. The Houston Branch and the Port Arthur/Beaumont Branch will both begin collection and staging of recovered orphan containers this week. Corpus Christi Branch is will complete reconnaissance activities within the next 10 days. Houston Branch is projected to complete these activities within 20 days and Port Arthur/Beaumont Branch within 30 days. As EPA prepares to complete response activities in different counties, a standardized procedure to formally close out with local officials (County Judge) will be completed prior to departure. 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00002389-00001  EPA will complete sampling of the 43 Superfund sites potentially impacted by the storm by Tuesday. Preliminary analytical results should be available by Thursday. EPA continues to hear reports of sampling of Superfund site by the New York Times. EPA received an amendment to Mission Assignment 4332DR-TX-EPA-03 for an increase of an additional $1.5 million on September 9, 2017. PUBLIC AFFAIRS EPA Liaison Officers will hold a meeting at Salt Lake Baptist Church in rural Rockport, Texas on September 10, 2017, to meet with residents and disseminate information about environmental and health challenges associated with returning to flood damaged homes. A joint news release from EPA and TCEQ was issued on September 9, 2017 updating the public on the Hurricane Harvey overall response. DEBRIS RECOVERY The Dallas REOC has been staffed with a Debris Management Technical Expert who participates as a member of the FEMA Debris Task Force. EPA currently has no mission assignment for debris recovery operations. AIR MONITORING The four EPA air quality technical specialists deployed to Houston conducted total volatile organic compounds (VOC) area monitoring in the Ship Channel area. They used a photoionization detector and a forward looking infrared radiometer camera to monitor areas downwind of four refining and terminal facilities. The team reported that the only VOC readings of significance were observed in the area between Pasadena Refining Systems, Inc. and Kinder Morgan. The team recommended additional TAGA monitoring in that area. If TAGA identifies elevated levels of VOCs of benzene, personnel will conduct site specific evaluations.

EPA is part of Emergency Support Function 10 (ESF-10) and currently has 6 FEMA Mission Assignments (MA) for pre-depioyment planning, implementation, and deployment of personnel for damage assessments on St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, including the islands of Vieques and Culebra. Preplanning activities include establishing a Command structure to direct and manage the response, compiling a response staffing plan, creating a web site, maintaining the Common Operational Picture (COP) display, ensuring field personal are ready and cleared to deploy, identified regulated industrial facilities such as oil and chemical storage and manufacturing facilities, as well as Superfund sites that may pose a threat of a release as a result of Irma. EPA assessment teams have been deployed to Puerto Rico and the US. Virgin Islands starting on September 9, 2017. Additional EPA and contractor personnel will be deployed in the next few days as mission assignments are received from FEMA. Currently there are 53 EPA and 5 contractor personnel involved in the response. The overall number is expected to increase dramatically as other MAs are issued by FEMA. 1. Introduction 1.1 Background Site Number: D.O. Number: Response Authority: Stafford Act Response Lead: FEMA NPL Status: Mobilization Date: Demob Date: 9/3/2017 CERCUS ID: ERNS No.: Contract Number: Action Memo Date: Response Type: Emergency Incident Category: Removal Assessment Operable Unit: Start Date: 8/31/2017 Completion Date: RCRIS ID: State Notification: 1.1.1 Incident Category An emergency response is warranted under the Stafford Act for responding to threats associated with Hurricane Irma. The President has made emergency declarations for all of Puerto Rico and all of the U.S. Virgin Islands. EPA is responding under these delegations and authorities. 1.1.2 Site Description and Locations Puerto Rico is a U.S. Commonwealth consisting of a main island and smaller includes, including Culebra and Vieques. Approximately 3.4 million people live in Puerto Rico, however due to recent economic instabilities habitants have been migrating to the Continental U.S. The island is diversified in terrain with a central mountain range, southern dry zones and coastal beaches. With varied natural resources, such as El Yunque National Rain Forest and prized beaches, Puerto Rico receives many tourists each year. There are 78 municipalities throughout Puerto Rico. The United States Virgin Islands (USVI) consists of three counties that coincide with the three largest island; St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix. The island receives many tourists each year, particularly through the port in Charlotte Amalie, via cruise ship. Land structure is consistent with Caribbean islands in that the center areas have elevated peaks that lead to fiat coastal areas. 1.1.2.2 Description of Threat Release of chemicals and petroleum products as a direct result of high winds and flooding. Damage to facilities located within impacted areas have the potential to transport containers, chemical waste, and process equipment that contain hazardous materials. High winds have the potential to collapse chemical and oil storage tanks and damage on-shore chemical facilities. Water and wind damage to commercial and residential buildings can generate large amounts of household hazardous waste (HHW) which poses a threat to the public and the environment. Because of the insular nature of the impacted areas there is an additional threat of releases of chemicals and petroleum products into sensitive shoreline areas including Green turtle breeding grounds, mangrove swamps, and coral reefs. In addition, there is a strong likelihood that both drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities will be severely impacted by the storm. Besides the physical damage to these facilities that may put them temporarily out of commission, there is a possibly that large cylinders of compressed gases may be dislodged and scattered by flood waters, posing a threat of release to the environment and the public 1.2 Incident Objectives 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00002395-00001 Region 2 - Hurricane Irma Incident Objectives The health and safety of our responders is our highest priority. Develop health and safety messages daily for all field operations. Ensure health and safety of the public by conducting environmental assessments and operating in accordance with approved site safety plans; Coordinate deployments and field activities with community involvement coordinator; Generate prioritized fixed target list from FRP/SPCC/RMP and Superfund Site data sets; Generate web-based field assessment forms for documenting abandoned oil and hazardous materials containers, fixed facility assessments, and field safety officer observations and provide them in a fieiddeployabie format to support field operations in support of the USVI assessment MA; Develop a six-week incident staffing plan for field and REOC duties. Region 2 - Hurricane Irma Management Objectives Protect the health and safety of EPA employees pre-deploying and/or responding to the storm aftermath. Integrate EPA response assets with federal, state and local response structures Minimize social, political, and economic adverse impacts Keep the public, stakeholders and the media informed of response activities Protect communities from incident hazards Keep communities informed of incident hazards and clean up progress Establish communication and briefing schedule with R2 senior executives and EPA Headquarters. Support a consistent communications approach agency-wide, enabling EPA to act and speak in unison during these incidents. Provide situation reports and other information on schedule provided by RIC Secure all NPL and removal sites. Regulated facilities and Superfund and oil sites will be surveyed prior to storm fall if a land impact is expected. Identify vulnerabilities at regulated facilities Address any immediate hazardous substance releases or oil spills resulting from the storm's impact Assist state and local agencies in ensuring safety of drinking water systems. Monitor air quality when/if necessary in response to conditions on the ground. Provide guidance for length of work day and deployments as it pertains to this specific event Coordinate logistics with deployed personnel to provide transportation options, lodging, security, ground transportation on site; Coordinate national resources to assist the Region; Identify clearly defined roles for both Regions and Headquarters; The response will use the Region's incident specific Data Management Plan (DMP); In collecting, sharing, and analyzing environmental data, EPA will give primacy to data with potential human health consequences; EPA will work to ensure that its decision-makers have access to the data and expertise they need to make decisions based on sound science; Identify early in the response the long term recovery issues the Agency may be requested to support and determine the resource needs to support and sustain those requests to completion. 1.3 Critical Resource Needs 1. Develop work products, deliver necessary briefings, and continue making preparations to ensure the health and safety of responders. 2. Ensure staffing adjustments meet current and future operational needs. 3. Assure timely and accurate data management to enhance the operational function of the ESF #10 response effort. 4. Accurately document ESF #10 response actions and ensure it is captured in appropriate official repositories. 5. Support the regional and national public affairs needs to provide effective messaging. Command expects to have the personnel, equipment, and financial resources available to complete all activities planned However due to extensive infrastructure damage on St. Thomas, including the airport and lodging facilities, and personnel safety concerns, deployment of R2 assessment teams has been closely coordinated with FEMA to avoid delays. 1.4 Strategic Considerations There are no changes to any long-term planning or changes in response strategy. 2. Current Activities 2 .1 Operations Section The RICT remains fully engaged in the response with senior meetings and briefings conducted daily.

He is forwarding updates and press releases issued by VITEMA. FEMA is processing a MA for environmental assessments in PR under the Emergency Declaration funding, due to the delay in receiving the major disaster declaration request from the Governor of PR. That MA is expected to be finalized and funded by COB today. Our OSC's in PR have been in communication with the ESF-10 desk, as they assist the Commonwealth government in the preparation of the Resource Request Form (RRF) for EPA to conduct oil and hazardous substances field operations. Once the RRF is in FEMA's WebEOC, the ESF-10 desk will track its progress to expedite its approval and funding. 2.5.3 Information Officer: The PIO is Elias Rodriguez and can be reached at 212-637-3664. Ail press inquiries are directed to him. PAD continues to maintain a public-facing EPA Response web site at: www.epa.gov/hurricane-irma. Note: This public-facing web site is distinct from the EPA OSC Response website for the incident which is being managed jointly by both R2 and R4. A coordination call was held between R2, R4 and EOC PIO. Topics covered included developing site content, the need for local hotline contacts, the possibly of other EPA contact(s) for general public inquiries, logistics for content update and considering the creation of a EPA.gov page for Irma due to the complexity of reporting information from 2 regions with multiple territories and up to 5 states with anticipated impacts. The web site will continue to be updated and leveraged for maximum public utility. Community Involvement: A third CIC was requested and is being supplied for deployment. Members of the public should be directed to EPA's toil free hotline 1-888-283-7626. Media Inquiries: A third news release was developed by OPA with input from R2 and R4. It is scheduled to be released on Sept. 9. Reporters should email their inquiries to press@epa.gov. 2.5.4 GIS and Data Continued edits to field collection forms and target lists for Regulated Facility inspections and Hazard Evaluation teams. Conference call to coordinate with R6 and HQ EOC regarding data reporting requirements. Continue updating the Site Specific Data Management Plan to encompass field operations and processing map requests. WebEOC: One Spill Report related to H. IRMA was received in the R2 REOC on 9/7 but was not previously reported in a SITREP. The data team continues to work on a site specific data management plan. The team also continues to work with the Regulated Facilities Assessment Coordinator to up-load assessment reports to the Flexviewer. The data team also continues to work with the R2 Drinking Water program to update locational data for drinking water and waste water facilities in PR and VI. GIS continues to update mapping application for the response. A GIS analysis was conducted to identify NPL, Non-NPL, SPCC, RMP, and FRP sites located within potential inundation areas identified through NOAA SLOSH modeling. GIS continues to maintain the Common Operating Picture (COP) response viewer for Hurricane Irma. For additional information see Section 7. 2.5.5 Caribbean Environmental Protection Division (CEPD): CEPD continues to integrate into the response at the FEMA interim operating facility. 2.5.6 Regulated Facility Assessment Coordinator: The Regulated Facility Team (RFT) continues to receive email and telephone responses to EPA's post-Irma facility damage, oii spill, and chemical release assessment efforts. As facility personnel begin obtaining access to their facilities, they continue to report no spills, no chemical releases, and no upset conditions. High risk facilities in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, such as Puma, HOVENSA, PRASA, and WAPA have reported no significant damage to their oii and/or chemical operations. The RFT has contacted the VI DPNR and provided a brief update on the status of major oil and chemical facilities that have responded to the post-impact damage assessment/oil spill/chemical release mass email and phone calls. The RFT is prepared to provide technical assistance to field assessment teams currently being deployed. 2.5.7 Drinking Water and Waste Water Treatment Puerto Rico Drinking Water Status: As of 0600 hours 189,900 PRASA service connections are without drinking water. Each service connection serves an estimated 3 people. PRASA serves 96% of the PR population (3,411,000). It is estimated that 569,700 people are without drinking water from 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523_00002395-00004 PRASA. The total PR PRASA population without drinking water is 569,700 out of 3,274,560 (96% of 3,411,0000) which represents 17,4%. This doesn't include the non-PRASA systems which account for 4% of the PR population. PR remains under a boil water advisory. Non-PRASA Systems EPA continues to assist PRDOH in contacting the non-PRASA communities. Two communities have been identified in need of generators: La Cuchilla, in San Lorenzo and Jaguey Chiquito in Aguada. PRASA: All PRASA waste-water treatment plants are operational. USVI Drinking Water Status: DPNR reports that all St. Croix drinking water and waste-water facilities are fully functional. St. Croix is currently under a drinking water advisory due to the heavy rains. St. Croix has a fully functional laboratory. DPNR reports, based on limited information, that St. Thomas and St. John are under a boil water advisory. Some of the drinking water storage tanks in St. Thomas survived the storm. VIWAPA has staff on hand and expects to start gravity feeding drinking water sometime today on St. Thomas. VIDPNR is unable to get staff to St. Thomas due to the storm damage. St. Thomas laboratory is currently offline due to power and needs a generator. There is no information on the drinking water and wastewater situation in St. John.
