This document provides guidance on how to conduct the offsite consequence analyses for Risk Management Programs required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). Section 112(r)(7) of the CAA directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue regulations requiring facilities with large quantities of very hazardous chemicals to prepare and implement programs to prevent the accidental release of those chemicals and to mitigate the consequences of any releases that do occur. This guidance document provides a simple methodology for conducting offsite consequence analyses. It provides generic reference tables of distances, applicable to most of the regulated toxic substances, and chemical-specific tables for ammonia, chlorine, and sulfur dioxide. This guidance also provides reference tables of distances for consequences of fires and explosions of flammable substances. In some cases, the rule allows users of this document to adopt generic assumptions rather than the site-specific data required if another model is employed.

A public meeting with angry residents and eager reporters is a common feature on the local news. Whether addressing environmental, or other issues, the experience for the board members, consultants, and specialists at these meetings ranges from uncomfortable to nightmarish. The issues discussed in these meetings usually stem from years of community disappointment, mistrust, fears, factions, political or social positioning, or all of the above. Industry faces a labyrinth of environmental and business regulations, and unique challenges in dealing with the public and the media. Environmental Risk Communication serves as a guide to understanding and complying with the Federal Risk Management Program and applying risk management and communication principles to daily plant operations. This book also helps Risk Management Plan (RMP) facilities successfully meet the new Federal requirements for public disclosure of RMP offsite consequence analysis results and provides techniques for communicating effectively during environmental emergencies. Written in a straight-forward, no-nonsense style the book presents concise informative chapters, flow diagrams, checklists, and a thorough index. The authors present step-by-step instruction on developing a principled plan of action that generates open communications. CEOs, Corporate Communications Specialists, Plant Managers, Environmental Compliance Supervisors, Health and Safety Officers, Environmental Scientists and Engineers, and Consultants will benefit from Environmental Risk Communication.

This updated and expanded edition leads businesses that house more than 100 hazardous or toxic materials on-site through the process of creating an effective risk management plan as mandated by the Clean Air Act. Readers will find answers to key plan-creation questions, including why audits should be done, how to plan an audit, and who to include on an audit team. Risk Management Planning Handbook also discusses the year-2000-issued General Duty Clause in detail and explains EPA's interpretations of this new element of the RMP. Readers will find three new chapters and one new appendix that reflect the increased focus on Risk Management Plans (RMP) in the past four years. Other changes this book addresses include EPA's decision to adopt new consequence analysis modeling practices, revise the list of regulated substances and thresholds for accidental release prevention, and change the designation of regulated facilities from Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes to North American Industrial Classification System Codes (NAICS). This new edition also includes a section-by-section analysis of the RMP standard; multiple charts, tables, and figures; and sample RMP forms and guidance.
