3. Scope of ESF #10 work and related support
4. Scope of ESF #10 Work GeneralRespond to oil and hazardous materials (hazmat) releases to the environment:Assess and detectPrevent, mitigate, minimizeContain and stabilizeCollect, manage, and disposeClean up/decontaminate environment, structures, buildingsDevelop site safety plan for oil/hazmat siteESF #10 doesn’t transition to a National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) Recovery Support Function (RSF)
5. Scope of ESF #10 WorkNatural DisastersAssess extent of spills/contaminationAerial asset and mobile labs available (more on this later)Soil, sediment, air, water monitoring/samplingRespond to oil/hazmat spills and threats of spillsRemove oil/hazmat from impacted vesselsCollect/dispose “orphaned” containers (e.g., drums, tanks, cylinders) from impact area and debris piles
6. Scope of ESF #10 WorkNatural DisastersCollect/manage household hazardous wasteCollect/manage freon from white goodsNote: ESF #3/USACE may also conduct certain hazmat-related activities when managing natural disaster debris
7. Scope of ESF #10 WorkNatural DisastersDebris support to USACE/states – ESF #10 or ESF #3 subtaskAir monitoring of debris operations/landfillsLandfill monitors to assure compliance with environmental requirementsTechnical advice to USACE/states/locals on proper debris management/disposalReview USACE/state/local debris management plansCheck debris piles for oil/hazmat contamination
8. Scope of ESF #10 WorkNatural DisastersAnimal carcass management in Response FIOP and FEMA fact sheet:ESF #3/USACE - carcasses classified as debrisUSDA - may have some independent authority for certain carcassesESF #10 - oil/hazmat-contaminated carcasses (not typical in natural disasters)ESF #11 - carcasses infected from foreign animal disease
9. Scope of ESF #10 WorkNatural DisastersOther items to note:ESF #10 doesn’t include collection/management of firearmsAnother key EPA role is water infrastructure supportCovered under ESF #3 for natural disasters
10. Scope of ESF #10 WorkCBRN IncidentsAssess/determine extent of contaminationAerial asset and mobile labs available (more later)Soil, sediment, air, water, structure, building monitoring/samplingReal-time environmental monitoringSampling and laboratory analysisNote: Laboratory capacity to analyze samples may become a critical factor
11. Scope of ESF #10 WorkCBRN IncidentsContain/stabilize contamination as possibleDevelop and implement appropriate cleanupRemoval/excavation, decontamination, etc.Manage wastesCoordinate with ESF #8 on risk to public healthPotential need to also coordinate with ESF #8 to track off-site contamination to ID individuals needing medical attention by ESF #8 and areas needing environmental cleanup by ESF #10Note: Public decontamination and contaminated fatality management not within ESF #10 scopeESF #10 decons environment/buildings/structures/cars, not general public or contaminated fatalities
12. Scope of ESF #10 WorkCBRN IncidentsESF #10 expects to need to increase its coordination with JFO UCG and other ESFs/RSFs for CBRN incidents:ESF #10 information on type and extent of contamination may be needed for many tasks, e.g.:Identify safe ingress/egress routes for public/respondersIdentify need for evacuations and relocationsSupport safety for S&R and other on-site teamsIdentify areas where support facilities may be located
13. Scope of ESF #10 WorkCBRN IncidentsESF #10 information on status of environmental/structural cleanup efforts will be needed by other ESFs/RSFs conducting short- and long-term recovery activities, e.g.:Status of decontamination/cleanup of critical infrastructureStatus of decontamination/cleanup of other residential, business, and government areas
14. Scope of ESF #10 WorkCBRN IncidentsEPA/USACE/FEMA Contaminated Debris MOU (2010)CBRN blast/explosion incidents create debris fieldIs it “debris” (ESF #3) or is it “hazmat” (ESF #10)??MOU clarifies ESF #3 and #10 rolesCBRN contamination from non-blast/explosion scenarios led by ESF #10 and outside MOU scope
15. Scope of ESF #10 WorkCBRN IncidentsContaminated Debris MOU (cont)ESF #3 Lead Responsibilities – in coordination with ESF #10:Emergency phase debris clearanceAssessment of structural instability and stabilization of structuresBuilding demolition
16. Scope of ESF #10 WorkCBRN IncidentsContaminated Debris MOU (cont)ESF #10 Lead Responsibilities:Minimize/stabilize releaseDetect/assess contaminationAnalyze/implement options for environmental and structural cleanup (including management of debris remaining after emergency phase)Manage waste
17. Scope of ESF #10 WorkNuc/Rad IncidentsNuclear/Radiological Incident Annex Identifies specialized federal interagency teams that may be activated:Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC)Advisory Team for Environment, Food, and Health (Advisory Team)Nuclear Incident Response Team (NIRT)
18. Scope of ESF #10 WorkNuc/Rad IncidentsFRMACMission: Coordination of environmental radiological monitoring, sampling, assessment (not cleanup!)Includes several federal agenciesDOE leads initially, transitions to EPA for site cleanupEPA deploys its FRMAC assets under ESF #10DOE deploys its FRMAC assets under ESF #12 Close coordination and integration of FRMAC and ESF #10 UC functions critical for common operating picture of radiological and other hazmat releases
19. Scope of ESF #10 WorkNuc/Rad IncidentsAdvisory TeamEPA provides representative under ESF #10NIRTEstablished by Homeland Security ActGives DHS authority to decide to activate and manage certain DOE and EPA radiological response assetsEPA expects to deploy its NIRT assets through ESF #10 MA process when NIRT activated
20. Scope of ESF #10 WorkWorker S&H for Natural Disasters and CBRNNRF Worker S&H Support Annex led by OSHACoordinates federal support for worker S&H management activitiesAddresses broader worker S&H issues for entire response, e.g., physical hazards, heat exhaustionAlso includes advising on oil/hazmat issuesEPA/USCG are support agenciesESF #10 develops a worker S&H plan for its oil/hazmat response areaCoordinates with Worker S&H Support Annex as neededOSHA also a support agency under ESF #10
21. Scope of ESF #10 Work GeneralESF #10 has Pre-Scripted Mission Assignments (PSMAs) that can be tailored to incidentDeveloped more for natural disastersNo CBRN-specific PSMAs yet

38. ESF #10 Response Organization ASPECT: Operational ConceptProvide a readiness level on a 24/7 basisProvide a simple, one phone call activation of the aircraftWheels up in under 1 hour from the time of activationOnce onsite and data is collected it takes about…. ~ 5 minutes to process and turn around data to first respondersDeployment Simplified:Once on-scene, collect chemical, radiological, or situational data (imagery) using established collection proceduresProcess all data within the aircraft using tested automated algorithmsExtract the near real time data from the aircraft using a broadband satellite system and rapidly QA/QC the data by a dedicated scientific reachback teamTeam provides the qualified data to the first responder enabling them to make informed decisions in minimal time 38
39. ESF #10 Response Organization ASPECT: Types of DeploymentsPre-Deployments to NSSEs/SERE (Presidential Inauguration, Rose Bowl, Super Bowl, 9/11 Anniversary) Hurricane Sandy West Texas ExplosionHalliburton Lost SourceField Exercises with NGB WMD-CSTs & DOEDeepwater HorizonChem & Rad Urban Background Surveys39Program CostsThe cost per flight hour is less than $1,300. There is no additional cost for data processing and QA/QC since the federal employees who run the team are getting paid regardless.
40. ESF #10 Response Organization ASPECT: Multi-Hazard Identification/Reporting ConceptBase MapAerial ImageIR Plume Image Chemical ID/ConcentrationRadiological Map A single pass of the aircraft produces a data set that permits mapping, aerial photography, Infrared imaging, chemical identification and radiological detection. These products can be generated in under 5 minutes and transmitted to the Incident Commander using the SatCom Link.
