<br /> <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> <br />. Encourage small communities, which depend upon individuol <br />sewers, septic systems and private water wells, to develop central <br />ized systems in areos that will not be impacted by flooding <br /> <br />LEAD AGENCIES: <br />Local jurisdictions, DOLA, DLG, CDPHE, CWQCD, EPA <br /> <br />FUNDING: <br /> <br />EPA, Drinking Water and Sewer State Revolving Funds, WAPA and <br />local jurisdictions <br /> <br />SCHEDULE: <br />Immediate <br /> <br /> <br />ISSUE: <br /> <br />HE-2 Collection and disposal of hazardous household chemicals impacted by <br />flooding; chemicals impacting landfills, flooded areas ond public water supplies <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />Municipalities and counties often budget for periodic collection and disposal of <br />household hazardous chemicals, but lack funding and procedures during an <br />emergency. Flooding compounds problems for landfills that are experiencing <br />difficulties with water issues, and creates the possibility of impacting down- <br />stream woter quality. Hazardous materials from various sites were released in <br />the flooded areas and may have also moved downstream into public water <br />supplies. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> <br />. Develop a contingency plan that includes procedures for handling <br />household chemicals during flooding periods and other <br />emergencies <br />. identify a funding source for emergencies <br />. Encourage increased mitigation measures such as elevation, diking <br />or diversion around existing hazardous materials sites that might <br />experience flooding <br />. Establish partnerships through the Local Emergency Planning <br />Commissions to address issues at the local level <br />
