EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

he State Emergency Response 

Commission’s 2010 Annual Report highlights the preparedness 

measures that hazardous material 

facilities, emergency planners and 

first responders utilize to protect Florida’s residents 

and guests. 

The Commission’s primary focus this year was to 

ensure Florida’s first responders were provided 

with adequate training on updated guidelines, 

procedures and curriculum. In support of this 

goal, the 11 Local Emergency Planning Committees continued their dedicated mission by providing training opportunities and conducting exercises in preparation for any potential real incidents 

The Northeast Florida Local Emergency Planning 

Committee Biennial Exercise provided an excellent 

example of these efforts.

The Commission also continued to provide technical assistance to hazardous material facilities on 

their individual reporting requirements. The Commission focused particularly in 2010 on providing 

training to golf course facilities across the state 

on their specific required reporting measures. The 

Commission’s Training Task Force also developed 

and updated multiple operating guides, responder 

courses and other operational readiness documents. A complete summary of the current landscape of hazardous materials in Florida is available T in the 2010 Annual Report.

Northeast Florida Local 

Emergency Planning 

Committee Biennial Exercise

n March 4, 2010, the District Four 

Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) conducted its biennial full-scale exercise in the City 

of Green Cove Springs, Florida. 

The U.S. Department of Transportation provided 

funding for the exercise through the Hazardous 

Materials Emergency Preparedness Grant Program 

and the State of Florida provided funding through 

the Hazardous Materials Grant Program. The LEPC 

partnered with Clay County Fire Rescue and Response Technologies to create a realistic scenario 

which included a large cross section of nearly 60 

Hazardous Materials Technicians from around the 

Region, including Clay County Fire Rescue, Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department, and St. Johns 

County Fire Rescue. The exercise was designed 

to test a variety of techniques, including: rescue 

entry, decontamination, reconnaissance, substance 

identification and air monitoring. The participants 

were able to use assorted tools and equipment in 

order to fulfill the tasks presented to them. The 

purpose of the exercise was to examine how the 

firefighters’ prior training and education could be 

put to use within the context of a safe, learning environment. An after action report was developed 

to identify the strengths of the HazMat teams, as 

well as to identify areas for improvement and to 

assess training and equipment needs.

In addition, a Type III Incident Management Team 

(IMT) was brought in for training to coordinate all 

the simulated response efforts of the three county 

HazMat teams, as well as manage the staging of 

on-site resources, coordinate the request and acquisition of simulated resources, and serve as the 

main planning and communications hub for the 

entire incident. The exercise was regional in scope 

with participants from around the LEPC District

in attendance. This exercise reflected what a potential incident that requires a multi-jurisdictional, 

or cooperative response, would entail. Several 

LEPC members, volunteers, and staff were involved 

throughout the planning, development and execution stages of the exercise. The Incident Management Team was also glad to have played a part in 

the coordination needs of the exercise. At the end 

of the day, the exercise was deemed a success by 

all the participants because it gave them a chance 

to work together with their colleagues and counterparts from within the District.

he Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) 

was designed to promote emergency planning and preparedness 

at both the state and local level.

It provides citizens, local governments, and local 

response authorities with information regarding 

the potential hazards in their community. EPCRA 

requires any facility that is using or storing specific 

chemicals to inform state and local agencies that it 

is subject to EPCRA requirements. 

With more than 1,200 active golf courses, Florida 

is the golf capital of the United States. To ensure 

that the public and first responders have the best 

Golf Courses and Hazardous 

Material Reporting Requirements

data available to make informed protective action 

decisions, the State Emergency Response Commission is actively providing compliance assistance to 

golf courses. The requirements for golf courses 

are very technical and specific guidance is often 

necessary. As an example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that 

golf course operations do not qualify for the agricultural exemption found at Section 311(e)(5) of 

EPCRA. This exemption excludes fertilizers held for 

sale by retailers and any substance which is used in 

routine agricultural operations. Since golf courses 

derive most of their income from the playing of 

golf, not the sale of turf or other horticultural products, all of the hazardous chemicals (e.g., pestiT

Annu a l Repo r t 2010

cides, and fuel for equipment) handled by the golf 

course must be reported under Section 311/312 if 

applicable thresholds are exceeded.

For EPCRA consideration, one of the most overlooked substances at golf course operations is 

sulfuric acid in golf cart batteries. The sulfuric acid 

and lead that comprise these batteries must be 

included when determining the various thresholds 

for the EPCRA section regulations. The typical golf 

course operation will have a fleet of electric golf 

carts numbering between 50 and 100. Each electric golf cart is powered by several lead acid batteries (six being most common). The batteries are 

found under the golf cart seat and are connected 

together by battery cable. The batteries usually 

weigh between 60 and 90 pounds, depending on 

the brand. The golf carts are used on the course 

daily and the batteries are charged nightly in a cart 

barn or other large interior space usually in the 

clubhouse building. 
State Emergency Response Commission for Hazardous Materials

11

Currently the Commission requires golf courses 

to report under EPCRA Sections 302 and 312 for 

sulfuric acid in golf cart batteries. The reporting 

thresholds are 1,000 pounds onsite at any time for 

Section 302 and 500 pounds for Section 312. Note 

that there are no exemptions for EPCRA Section 

302. However, the Commission does not require 

the reporting of batteries in fleet vehicles parked 

outside on a property since that information would 

be of little value to first responders. 

To add to the complexity of reporting, EPA specifically states that automotive batteries and other 

“non-industrial batteries” are exempt from EPCRA 

Section 312 (Tier Two chemical Inventory reporting) per Section 311(e)(3) which exempts “any substance to the extent it is used for personal, family, 

or household purposes, or is present in the same 

form and concentration as a product packaged for 

distribution and use for the general public.”

An industrial battery is defined as, “any battery 

or battery pack which is designed exclusively for 

industrial or professional uses; used as a source 

of power for propulsion in an electric vehicle; unsealed but is not an automobile battery; or sealed 

but is not a portable battery.” 

The Commission believes that golf cart batteries, as configured on the golf carts, more closely 

resemble industrial batteries (such as fork lift batteries) in form (as configured on the golf carts) 

and function (traction batteries that are deeply 

discharged and charged repeatedly), than they 

do automotive batteries (non-industrial batteries). 

Also, they closely match the previous definition of 

an industrial battery. With regards to portability, 

there is no question that automotive batteries are 

portable (at 35 pounds on average). However, at 

weights between 60 and 90 pounds golf cart batteries would not be considered to be portable. 

Even if one assumes that golf cart batteries are 

“non-industrial” batteries and therefore potentially 

meet the exemption requirement per Section 

311(e)(3), the United States EPA has required the 

reporting of hazardous substances if they pose 

much greater hazards when present onsite in 

significantly larger quantities (see www.epa.gov/

osweroe1/content/epcra/epcra-qa_exempt_311.

htm). 

With these points in consideration, the Commission’s position in this matter is that the quantities 

of lead acid batteries found at many golf course 

operations (10 tons or more in an interior space) 

do meet that greater hazards criterion for emergency responders and, if a golf course exceeds 

the EPCRA thresholds for sulfuric acid, they must 

file for both Sections 302 and 312. These reports 

are available to the public and are used by first responders in emergency planning and responses. 

The Commission will continue its compliance assistance work with Florida’s golf courses to ensure 

the highest level of emergency preparedness is 

achieved to help protect Florida’s residents and 

visitors.

In January 1993, the State Emergency Response Commission 

established the Training Task Force 

to address the requirements of 

the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act grant program. Members include 

representation from the fire service, emergency 

medical services, law enforcement, public health, 

emergency management, environmental response 

and private industry. Since its inception, the Task 

Force’s responsibilities have been expanded to 

include the development of responder training 

guidelines, coordination with responders to ensure 

required hazardous materials training is available, 

establishment of a uniform classification system for

hazardous materials incidents, and the assessment 

of response capabilities of regional hazardous materials response teams. 

This year, the Task Force included the U.S. Fire 

Administration and other federal agencies in its 

discussions so that Florida continues to be at the 

forefront ensuring responders have the skills and 

capabilities to provide for its citizens.

Major projects the Training Task Force has completed include:

 Capabilities Assessment Tools for Type II and 

Type III Hazardous Materials Response Teams 

J measuring standards set by the National Fire 

Protection Association (NFPA).

 Hazmat Technician Refresher Certification 

Check-off, providing a standard method for 

ensuring competency is met in accordance 

with NFPA standards for hazmat technicians.

 Medical Surveillance policies for hazardous 

materials responders providing guidance to 

ensure responders meet specific criteria prior 

to, and after entry into a hazardous materials 

environment.

er that provides quick guidance for response 

to various hazardous materials emergencies.

 Medical Response Protocol for Hazardous 

Materials Emergencies, comprising a comprehensive list of toxidromes and treatment

modalities for most medical emergencies 

found in a hazardous materials event.

 Operations-level Hazardous Materials Training Guidelines, which outlines job performance training for non-hazmat fire service 

and law enforcement members in response 

to a hazardous materials emergencies. 

 Hazmat Protocols for the acquisition of suspicious substances for analysis through the 

State Laboratory Network as well as guide

provide preliminary real-time information to 

Incident Commanders. 

 Pro Board Certification, allowing hazardous 

materials responders a national registry capability that facilitates a team its ability 

to respond to another jurisdiction or to an 

other state when requested.

Within the past year, the Training Task Force and its 

partner agencies developed a list of subject matter experts within the public sector, emergency 

response teams to enhance productivity regarding 

target initiatives. The Training Task Force is currently addressing the standardization of hazardous 

materials event reporting, long-term cost and sustainment issues for Florida’s 32 hazardous materials 

teams, the new U.S. Coast Guard requirements for 

shipboard firefighting, and development of recommendations for curriculum elements regarding 

emergency medical services response to hazardous materials incidents. 

The group remains committed to enhancing the 

educational, operational, and procedural approaches associated with emergency response to 

potential releases of hazardous materials within 

the State of Florida.

The oil and natural gas industry 

has a strong safety record despite a work environment that 

often involves heavy equipment, 

hazardous materials, high temperatures and high pressures. The oil and natural 

gas industry’s strategy of mitigating inherent risks 

to prevent hazardous situations was successful during 60 years of safely drilling over 42,000 

offshore wells in the Gulf. The unprecedented 

response to last year’s Gulf accident further illustrates the industry’s efforts to raise the bar on 

safety standards.

Emergency Response in the Oil 

and Natural Gas Industry

The public learned about the industry’s immediate response to the Gulf incident as it unfolded 

on newscasts and the internet over the summer. 

However, the industry was also concurrently working behind the scenes evaluating information 

related to the causes of the incident and the response to the incident and developing a strategy 

for the future. The results are tangible and include 

the immediate release of more stringent standards, 

the creation of an enhanced spill response company, and the establishment of a new safety institute 

to continually evaluate new technology and procedures to recommend best management practices 

to the industry.

T

By David Mica, Florida Petroleum Council

Immediately following the Gulf incident, the oil 

and natural gas industry convened a number of 

task forces to focus on improvements to equipment, operations, subsea well control and spill 

containment. Their recommendations were codified in standards and used by the U.S. Department 

of Interior as the core of regulatory amendments 

adopted in the fall – mere months following the 

incident. The industry is now operating under 

these more stringent standards.

 The Gulf accident in 10,000 feet of water presented challenges never before encountered. 

New equipment and procedures were developed

to contain the well and mitigate the impact of 

oil in the environment. Recognizing the value of 

the successes gained, four companies, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Shell, and Chevron, initially 

contributed $1 billion and valuable engineering 

expertise to create the Marine Well Containment 

Company (MWCC) to design, develop and implement state-of-the-art containment systems that 

go beyond lessons learned to rapidly respond to 

any spill in the future. The MWCC announced it 

has successfully completed testing of its system’s 

capability in 8,000 feet of water and capturing 

60,000 barrels a day. Amazingly, the MWCC is ready 

to respond to incidents with all the necessary 

equipment to contain and cap any well within the 

Gulf of Mexico. Three other companies have since 

joined the initial venture to ensure future success.

The industry did not stop there. It is taking a longer view of addressing future opportunities and 

challenges. Our parent organization, The American 

Petroleum Institute announced the creation of 

the Center for Offshore Safety, which will promote 

the highest level of safety for offshore operations, 

through an effective program that addresses management practices, communication and teamwork. 

In designing the institute, the API reviewed five 

other safety programs, including the U.K.’s Step 

Change in Safety, the chemical industry’s Responsible Care® program, the Institute for Nuclear Power 

Operations, the OSHA Voluntary Protection Program, and the Safety Case Regime for international 

operators. The Center for Offshore Safety will 

draw on the lessons learned from successful, existing safety programs, applying the best elements of 

these programs to accommodate the unique challenges of offshore oil and natural gas operations, 

and will rely on independent auditing and review 

by third-party certifiers, according to API. 

The oil and natural gas industry’s rapid response to 

this unprecedented incident is a model for emergency response organizations. While responding to the emergency, the industry concurrently 

learned and improved its response capabilities for 

the future.
