STATUS REPORT
REFERENCE:
PSC Letter, Gahm to Gagliardo, dated 08/27/86 (P-86406)
Dear Mr. Gagliardo:
The purpose of
- ais letter is to provide you with an update on the emergency response personnel notification process improvement efforts underway at Fort St.
Vrain.
Per our commitments made in the referenced letter, the current method of telephone "fanout" notification has been revised, the responsible personnel have been trained, and the new process has been implemented.
An unannounced test of the revised fanout process has not yet been conducted, but, a telephone test (with no physical response) and one announced fanout (with physical response) has been conducted to determine adequacy of the revised process.
Additional corrective items have been identified through these tests, but the revised process was deemed to be a significant improvement on the previous process and facilitated activation of the emergency response facilities within the required nuety (90) minutes. The additional corrective action items will be incorporated into future process revisions.

4 P-86678 December 31, 1986 A long term notification system has been selected and is in the final stages of installation.
The system is a Motorola paging system which is being adapted into PSC's existing load-shed network, thereby utilizing existing transmitter / receiver equipment. The paging system is expected to be fully operational by early March,1987.
Including anticipated time required for procedure development, personnel training, and final system testing, it is anticipated that Fort St.
Vrain will implement the new paging system as its primary notification system by May 1, 1987.
The Motorola paging system being installed at Public Service Company of Colorado, consists of a network of locations throughout Colorado and portions of Wyoming. The northeast sector of Colorado is being designated for use by Fort St. Vrain's emergency preparedness (EP) program.
Upon final installation and testing of the EP portion of the system, there will be three transmission towers in the Denver Metro area, one at the company's Valmont Station (near Boulder, Colorado), one near Fort Collins, Colorado, one in Greeley, Colorado, and one at the Fort St.
Vrain site.
These seven towers will be sequenced to transmit any paging signals associated with Fort St.
Vrain, and should cover all areas inhabited by Fort St. Vrain emergency response personnel. A total of approximately 120 pagers (initially) will be distributed to emergency response personnel to ensure sufficient coverage.
The pagers have been placed in up to four paging " groups" which allow the operating staff at FSV to signal anywhere from 10 to 120 (depending on the group) pagers with one telephone number. The pagers have numeric, digital, message read-out capability which allows special coding to provide basic information to the personnel receiving the signal.
The pagers can also be utilized individually for normal day-to-day contact.
A telephone call-back system is also being designed specifically for Fort St. Vrain's needs.
The system will involve several phone numbers on a rotary receiver system and will transmit, to the FSV site, those personnel that have responsed to the signal, and at what time. This system may not be fully functional upon implementation of the basic paging system, but work is currently progressing ahead of schedule.
The call-back system is similar to the one being utilized i
at the River Bend Nuclear Station, and will be utilized to document contact percentages from routine tests.
Upon finalization of the systems and operating procedures, all appropriate personnel will be trained on the specific uses of the paging devices, use of the paging system, and specific training on emergency response coding. The telephone numbers for the paging l
groups will be controlled and distributed on a limited, need-to-know basis.
