1.0 INTRODUCTION
The institutional foundation of emergency preparedness at Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS) is ERP-100, Consolidated Emergency Response Plan (ERP), which is the site plan for the management, planning, preparedness, response to, mitigation of and recovery from emergencies affecting the site. The ERP provides the framework for response to radiological and hazardous material events that may involve workers, public health and safety and the envir.g~ment. The ERP is consistent with regulatory and industry standards. It also addresses all sta4.~Emergency Management System functions associated with the treatment, storage an~:W13osal of waste containing radiological and hazardous constituents. The ERP uses the gy[ ii'!2iiV contained in United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory GyJs{~~.. andard Format and Content for Emergency Plans for Fuel Cycle and Materials Faejfilj,es, as We multiple

The ERP and its supporting documents will enable WCS to respond to an emergency in a timely, efficient and effective manner resulting in the mitigation of incident consequences.
Site-wide emergency planning is consistent with comprehensive emergency management concepts. These concepts are inclusive of the following:
1.2.1 Planning Planning involves the development and preparation of hazard assessments, emergency plans and procedures and the identification of necessary personnel and resources to provide an effective response.

There are no residential areas within a 3-mile radius of the facility. The terrain at the site and surrounding area consists of gently sloping grassland with scattered small mesquite trees.
Industrial facilities near WCS include a gravel and caliche mining/crushing facility located approximately one mile to the west of the facility boundary, the Lea County landfill located about one mile to the south-southwest and URENCO USA, a facility for enriching uranium located one mile west of the permitted boundary.
Access to the site is via State Highway 176. Trucks carrying hazardous, mixed waste and low level radioactive waste materials turn north off of State Highway 176 onto the facility's access road. The facility's access road is located immediately east of the state border 2-08-2019

Trains access the site from west to east on a rail spur off the Texas-New Mexico Railroad line in Eunice, New Mexico to a rail loop, which surrounds the WCS site.
The city of Eunice, New Mexico, located in Lea County, is the closest populated area to the site, located about 6 miles west of the site. The population of Eunice is approximately 2,922 according to the 2010 census. Lea County had a 2~ 0 population of 64,727. The city of Andrews, Texas is located approximately 30 il~to the east.

on-site meteorological tower for conducting environmental monitoring.
Therefor, real time meteorological data is available for use in emergency response. Data collected over the last six years from the on-site meteorological tower that is located near the Guard House, indicate that the prevailing wind direction is from the south-southeast.
The winds throughout the months of December to February shift occasionally to the southwest. The wind velocity increases from March to May with fhe winds increasing from the south and south-southwest. During the months of June to November, the wind direction is predominantly from the south and south-southeast. The average wind velocity throughout the year is approximately 11 miles per hour. In the event of an airborne release of radioactive material, wind velocity is a key factor in determining the radionuclide concentration at the location of an off-site receptor. As wind velocity increases, the dilution of the radionuclide concentration at the location of an off-site receptor increases. The wind 2-08-2019

Atmospheric stability is a measure of the dispersive capability of the atmosphere and depends on the horizontal temperature gradient of the air. In the event of an airborne release of radioactive material, good atmospheric dispersion dilutes the release and minimizes the radionuclide concentration at the location of an off-site r ptor. Unstable atmospheric conditions (stability class A-C) provide greater dispersio

2.1 2.1.1 Fire scenarios produce greater consequences than other containment failure events because fire offers an increased off-site transport potential. Fire generates heat and combustion gases that may destroy or stress the material and/or the substrate upon which the radioactive materials may be deposited, compromise barriers and/or pressurize containers/enclosures that may lead to the airborne release of contained materials. Mass flux and vapors from the fire suspend material in air. This material mixes with general convection currents that provide transport for particulate materials.
The primary exposure pathways to workers and the public are through inhalation and direct external exposure. The dose from external exposure is much less than dose from 2-08-2019

Secondary emergencies that may result from the onset of the primary condition include medical emergencies, personal injury accidents and property damage accidents. A power failure will not constitute an emergency requiring implementation of the ERP, unless it causes an increased threat of fire or release to the environment.

The WCS Consolidated ERP expresses the philosophy that the WCS Site shall be as self-sufficient as possible in handling emergencies within the facility. Further, the ERP establishes and identifies the groups of individuals to assemble for various types of emergencies at the site. These groups together constitute the ERO.
In an emergency, the IC or designee activates the IERP (after hours, t information relayed from the Security Officer on scene at the emer immediately to the IC or designee).![JCBJ Accordingly, the IC or his designee is re po sible for immediately directing and taking appropriate emergency response actions wit i tfi site boundary and for immediate (within 15 minutes) notification to state and I al me gen jurisdictions, as needed. Protective action recommendations to the state an ocal jurisclicti s are an integral part of the initial notification. The IC may deleg te pecific duties toot er qualified personnel. Personnel elements of the ERO are:

4.3.1 First Responders First responders are operational and security personnel most likely to discover an emergency. These personnel initiate the emergency response actions of the facility by notifying their supervisor/manager and the IC (or designee). Personnel included in this group could be Operations personnel, Radiation Safety Technicians (RST), Lab Technicians and Security personnel. These personnel are trained so they can:

Emergency first-aid treatment and decontamination will be administered in the area where an incident occurs if it is considered safe to do so. If the area is contaminated or considered unsafe, the injured employee will be moved to the primary emergency treatment area. If necessary, off-site emergency medical personnel (ambulance) will be called. The estimated arrival time for an ambulance is approximately 10 minutes.

The EOC is the location having appropriate communications and informational materials to carry out the assigned emergency response mission. The primary EOC is the Executive Conference Room located in the southern section of the main administrative building within the boundaries of the existing facility.

The locations of the primary and secondary site EOCs are shown on the site map in Figure 5. The location of an incident determines which EOC is utilized or evacuated as determined by many factors such as; environmental conditions, plumes, etc.
When activated, the EOC has the following communications and accident assessment capabilities and equipment capabilities:
Radio equipment to monitor and communicate on all radio nets s Overhead video capabilities for displaying information to occ. a s of the EOC A public address system for announcements, status repo s an b i fings to be heard by all EOC personnel Communications Equipment The WCS ERP is based on the philosophy that the facility should be as self-sufficient as possible in handling on-site emergency situations. The facilities that serve in various capacities during an emergency situation are discussed in the following sections.
Emergency equipment, including communications and information handling and display equipment, used or issued during emergency operations varies depending on each situation. The equipment contained in the facility will also vary depending on the operations performed and potential emergencies that can occur.
