rectification is being carried out. The inspecUon authority may require
immediate compliance with any or all of the regulations, or he may grant
a reasonable length of time in which to conform.

such building or structure is not sufficient to provide reasonable fire safe-
ty. Grass and other vegetation located more than 30 feet from such build-
ing or structure and less than 18 inches in height above the ground may
be maintained where necessary to stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.

§ 564. Metric Units.
Metric units of measurement in this standard are in accordance with
the modernized metric system known as the International System of
Units (SI). One unit (liter), outside of but recogi\ized by SI, is commonly
used in international fire protection. The units are listed in Table 1 with
conversion factors.
Table 1
Conversion Factor
1 gal = 3.785 L
1 in. = 2.540 cm
1 ft. = 0.305 m
1 pound (mass) = 0.454 kg
5/9(OF-32) = oC
1 psi = 0.0689 bar
For additional conversions and information see ASTM E380, Stan-
dard for Metric Practice.
If a value for measurement as given in this standard is followed by an
equivalent value in other units, the first stated is to be regarded as the re-
quirement. A given equivalent value may be approximate.
The conversion procedure for the SI units has been to multiply the
quantity by the conversion factor and then round the result to the appro-
priate number of significant digits.

§ 565. Selection of Fire Extinguishers.
(a) The selection of extinguishers for a given situation shall be deter-
mined by the authority having jurisdiction in accordance with adopted
codes or ordinances. The character of the fires anticipated, the construc-
tion and occupancy of the individual property, the vehicle or hazard to
be protected, ambient-temperature conditions, and other factors shall be
considered. The number, size, placement, and limitations of use of extin-
guishers required shall be determined by using Sections 567 through 573.

§ 565.1 . Classification of Hazards.
(a) Light (low) Hazard. Locations where the total amounts of Class A
combustible materials, including furnishings, decorations and contents,
is of minor quantity. These shall include buildings or rooms occupied as
offices, classrooms, churches, assembly halls, etc. This classification an-
ticipates that the majority of contents are either noncombustible or so ar-
ranged that a fire is not likely to spread rapidly. Small amounts of Class
B flammables used for duplicating machines, art departments, etc., are
included provided that they are kept in closed containers and safely
stored.
(b) Ordinary (Moderate) Hazard. Locations where the total amounts
of Class combustibles and Class B flammables are present in greater
amounts than expected under Light (Low) Hazard occupancies. These
occupancies could consist of offices, classrooms, inercantile shops and
allied storage, light manufacturing, research operations, auto show-
rooms, parking garages, workshop or support service areas of Light
(Low) Hazard occupancies, and warehouses containing Class I or Class
II commodities.
(c) Extra (High) Hazard. Locations where the total amount of Class A
combustibles and Class B flammables are present, in storage, production
use, and/or finished product over and above those expected and classed
as ordinary (moderate) hazards. Tliese occupancies could consist of
woodworking, vehicle repair, aircraft and boat servicing, individual
product display showrooms, product convention center displays, storage
and manufacturing processes such as painting, dipping, coating, includ-
ing flammable liquid handling. Also included is warehousing of, or in-
process storage of other Class I and Class II commodities.

§ 565.2. Selection by Hazard.
(a) Extinguishers shall be selected for the specific class or classes of
hazards to be protected in accordance with the following subdivisions.
(b) Extinguishers for protecting Class A hazards shall be selected from
the following: Water-type, halogenated agent types, multipurpose dry
chemical and wet chemical type.
(c) Extinguishers for protection of Class B hazards shall be selected
from the following: carbon dioxide, dry chemical types, halogenated
agent types, and water-type and water chemical extinguishers rated for
Class B hazards.
(d) Extinguishers for protection of Class C hazards shall be selected
from the following: carbon dioxide, dry chemical types, halogenated
agent types, and water mist types rated for Class C. Carbon dioxide extin-
guishers equipped with metal horns are not considered safe for use on
fires in energized electrical equipment and, therefore, are not classified
for use on Class C hazards.
(e) Extinguishers and extinguishing agents for the protection of Class
D hazards shall be of types approved for use on the specific combustible-
metal hazard.

§ 566. Application for Specific Hazards.
(a) Class B Fire Extinguishers for Pressurized Flammable Liquids and
Pressurized Gas Fires. Fires of this nature are considered to be a special
hazard. Class B fire extinguishers containing agents other than dry chem-
ical are relatively ineffective on this type of hazard due to stream and
agent characteristics. Selection of extinguishers for this type of hazard
shall be made on the basis of recommendations by manufacturers of this
specialized equipment. The system used to rate extinguishers on Class B
fires (flammable liquids in depth) is not applicable to these types of haz-
ards.

Title 19
State Fire Marshal
§ S67.4
•
It has been determined that special nozzle design and rates of agent
application are required to cope with such hazards. Caution: It is undesir-
able to attempt to extinguish this type of fire unless there is reasonable
assurance that the source of fuel can be promptly shut off.
(b) Fire extinguishers provided for the protection of cooking ap-
pliances that use combustible cooking media (vegetable or animal oils
and fats) shall be listed and labeled for Class K fires.
(c) Three-dimensional Class B Fires. A three-dimensional Class B
fire involves Class B materials in motion such as pouring, amning or
dripping flammable liquids and generally includes vertical as well as one
or more horizontal surfaces. Fires of this nature are considered to be a
special hazard. Selection of extinguishers for this type of hazard shall be
made on the basis of recommendations by manufacturers of this special-
ized equipment. The system used to rate extinguishers on Class B fires
(flammable liquids in depth) is not directly applicable to this type of haz-
ard.
(d) Water Soluble Flammable Liquid Fires (Polar Solvents). Extin-
guishers used for the protection of water soluble flammable Hquids, such
as alcohols, acetones, esters, ketones, etc., shall be selected in accordance
with Section 565.2. AFFF type and FFFP type fire extinguishers shall not
be used for the protection of water soluble flammable liquids, such as al-
cohols, acetone, esters, ketones, etc., unless specifically referenced on
the extinguisher nameplate.
(e) Electronic Equipment Fires. Extinguishers for the protection of
delicate electronic equipment shall be selected from the following: car-
bon dioxide type or a halogenated agent type, or a distilled water mist
type with a minimum Class A: C Rating.
(f) In patient care areas and sleeping rooms of health care facilities, fire
extinguishers, including the agents and expelling means, should be se-
lected and utilized which would not be detrimental to patients and are ap-
propriate for the type of fire expected, such as distilled water mist type
fire extinguishers with a minimum "2-A: C" Rating.

propevty shall be determined as outlined in this section. Additional extin-
guishers may be installed to provide more suitable protection.
(b) Fire extinguishers shall be provided for the protection of both the
building structure and the occupancy hazards contained therein.
(c) Required building protection shall be provided by fire extinguish-
ers suitable for Class A fires.
(d) Occupancy hazard protection shall be provided by fire extinguish-
ers suitable for such Class A, B, C, D, or K fire potentials as may be pres-
ent.
(e) Extinguishers provided for building protection may be considered
also for the protection of occupancies having a Class A fire potenfial.
(f) Buildings having an occupancy hazard subject to Class B and/or
Class C fires shall have a standard complement of Class A fire extin-
guishers for building protection, plus additional Class B and/or Class C
extinguishers. Where fire exfinguishers have more than one letter classi-
fication (such as 2-A:20-B:C), they may be considered to safisfy the re-
quirements of each letter class. When using multi-purpose exfinguishers
for the protection of Class B hazards, the maximum travel distances de-
scribed in Table 2 must be observed.
(g) Rooms or areas shall be classified generally as light (low) hazard,
ordinary (moderate) hazard, or extra (high) hazard. Limited areas of
greater or lesser hazard shall be protected as required.
(h) On each floor level, the area protected and the travel distances shall
be based on fire extinguishers installed in accordance with Tables 2 and
3.
(i) Fire extinguishers shall not be obstructed or obscured from view.
Exception. In large rooms, and in certain locations where visual obstruction can-
not be completely avoided, means shall be provided to indicate the fire extinguish-
er's location.
(j) Fire exfinguishers shall be conspicuously located along normal
paths of travel where they will be readily accessible and immediately
available in the event of a fire.
(k) Where wheeled extinguishers are installed, aisles and doorways
through which such exfinguishers are to be moved shall have a clear and
unobstructed width not less than one foot (1 ft.) wider than the overall
width of the exfinguisher.

Fires in Flammable Liquids of Appreciable
Depth.
(a) Portable fire extinguishers shall not be installed as the sole protec-
tion for flammable liquid hazards of appreciable depth [greater than 1/4
in. (0.64 cm)] where the surface area exceeds 10 sq. ft. (0.93 m-).
Exception; Where personnel who are trained in extinguishing fires in the pro-
tected hazards are available on the premises, the maximum surface area shall not
exceed 20 sq. ft. (1.86 m^).
(b) For flammable liquid hazards of appreciable depth, a Class B fire
extinguisher shall be provided on the basis of at least two numerical units
of Class B extinguishing potential per sq ft (0.0929 m^) of flammable liq-
uid surface of the largest hazard area. For fires involving cooking grease
or water-soluble flammable liquids, see 566 (b) and 566 (d).
Exception: AFF'F or FFFP type extinguishers may be provided on the basis of
a IB rating of protection per sq ft of hazard.
(c) Two or more extinguishers of lower ratings shall not be used in lieu
of the extinguisher required for the largest hazard area.
Exception: Up to three AFFF or FFFP extinguishers may be used to fulfill the
requirements provided the sum of the Class B ratings meets or exceeds the value
required for the largest hazard area.
(d) Travel distances for portable extinguishers shall not exceed 50 ft
(15.25 m) as shown in Table 3.
(e) Scattered or widely separated hazards shall be individually pro-
tected. An extinguisher in the proximity of a hazard shall be carefully lo-
cated to be accessible in the presence of a fire without undue danger to
the operator.

Hazards.
(a) Fire extinguishers with Class C ratings shall be required where en-
ergized electrical equipment can be encountered which would require a
nonconducting extinguishing medium. This requirement includes situa-
tions where fire either direcfly involves or surrounds electrical equip-
ment. Since the fire itself is a Class A or Class B hazard, the fire extin-
guishers shall be sized and located on the basis of the anticipated Class
A or B hazard.
Note: Electrical equipment should be de-energized as soon as possible to prevent
reignition.

in Section 591.6, an internal examination shall be made prior to the hy-
drostatic test. The procedures for this internal examination shall be in ac-
cordance with the requirements of the Standard for Visual Inspection of
High Pressure Aluminum Compressed Gas Cylinders (CGA C-6.1),
published by the Compressed Gas Association.
(2) The hydrostatic testing of D.O.T. specification cylinders shall be
in accordance with the procedures specified in the pamphlet Methods for
Hydrostatic Testing of Compressed Gas Cylinder (Pamphlet C-1), pub-
lished by the Compressed Gas Association.
(b) Low Pressure Non-D.O.T. Specification Cylinders.
(1 ) All valves and internal parts shall be removed and the extinguisher
emptied.
EXCEPTION: On some dry chemical and dry powder extinguishers (cartridge-op-
erated), the manufacturer recormnends that certain internal parts not be removed.
(2) All traces of extinguishing material shall be removed from the in-
side of dry chemical and dry powder type shells before filling with the
test liquid.
(3) The cartridges, and some cartridge receivers of dry chemical and
dry powder extinguishers having externally mounted gas cartridges,
shall be removed and a suitable plug inserted into the shell opening at the
point of removal.
(4) On wheeled extinguishers of the stored-pressure water, loaded
stream, or cartridge-operated types, the discharge nozzle shall be re-
moved and the complete remaining assembly, including the hose, then
tested as described in Secfion 592.2.
(5) On all wheeled dry chemical, dry powder, Halon 1211, AFFF/
FFFP, and carbon dioxide extinguishers equipped with a shutoff nozzle
at the outlet end of the hose, the hose (complete with couplings but with-
out the discharge nozzle) shall be removed and tested separately.
(6) On all wheeled stored pressure dry chemical extinguishers, the
head assembly is to be removed and be replaced with a suitable test bon-
net.
(7) The hose of the hydrostafic test pump is then attached by the flex-
ible connection to the discharge nozzle, hose assembly, test bonnet, or
test fitting, as is applicable. In the case of wheeled dry chemical and dry
powder extinguishers, procedures and fitfings should be those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
(8) The test liquid supply to the test pump is to be turned on and the
extinguisher then filled to the top of its collar.
(9) For extinguishers tested with their cap in place, the cap must be
tightened SLOWLY while the test liquid supply remains open. When all
of the entrapped air within the shell has been bled off and after test liquid
emerges, the cap must be fightened fully.
(10) For extinguisher tested with a test bonnet or fitting, the bonnet or
fitting must be tightened FULLY while the water supply remains open.
When all of the entrapped air within the shell has been bled off and after
test liquid emerges, the vent must be closed Ughtly.
(11) Pressure is then applied at a rate-of-pressure rise so the test pres-
sure is reached in not less than 30 seconds. This test pressure is main-
tained for at least 30 seconds. Observafions are made at this fime to note
any distortion or leakage of the extinguisher shell.

§ 595.4
( 1 2) If no distortion or leakage is noted and if the test pressure has not
dropped, the pressure on the extinguisher shall be released. The extin-
guisher is then considered to have passed the hydrostatic test.
(1 3) All traces of test liquid and moisture must be removed from all dry
chemical, dry powder, and halogenated agent extinguishers by use of a
cylinder dryer. If a heated air stream is used, the temperature within the
shell must not exceed 150o F (66" C).
(14) Any extinguisher shell that fails this hydrostatic test must be de-
stroyed by the owner or at the owner's discretion.
(c) Testing Procedures — Hose Assemblies.
(1) The discharge nozzle must be removed from the hose assembly
without removal of any hose couplings.
(2) For dry chemical and dry powder types, all traces of dry chemical
or dry powder must be removed.
(3) The hose must be completely filled with test liquid before testing.
(4) Pressure is then applied at a rate-of-pressure rise to reach the test
pressure within one minute. The test pressure is to be maintained for one
full minute. Observations are then made to note any distortion or leakage.
(5) If no distortion or leakage is noted, or the test pressure has not
dropped, or the couplings have not moved, the pressure is then to be re-
leased. The hose assembly is then considered to have passed the hydro-
static test.
(6) Hose assemblies passing the test shall be dried internally. If heat
is used for drying, the temperature shall not exceed 150°F (66*^0.
(7) Hose assemblies failing a hydrostatic test must be destroyed by the
owner or at the owner's discretion.

22. Specifications for Constructing
Enclosures for Protecting Extinguishers
Against Freezing
§515. Enclosure.
This type of enclosure is for use in climates where temperatures below
zero Fahrenheit are encountered; where the temperature does not fall be-
low zero Fahrenheit, enclosure may be constructed of 7/8 inch material
without the double wall.
(a) The inside dimensions of enclosure shall be as small as practical,
but not to interfere with the quick removal of the extinguisher.
(b) Walls shall be tightly constructed of wood, not less than 1/2 inch
thick; the inside of the cabinet to be lined with 1/2 inch wallboard, or its
equivalent, so arranged as to leave a 1/2 inch air space between the inside
and outside walls.
(c) Door shall be of double construction, closing into a rabbet, hinged
and held closed with a spring latch.
(d) Near the bottom of the door, and at point opposite to the incandes-
cent lamp, the door shall be double glazed (size of glass not larger than
4 by 7 inches), with double strength glass, and airspace of 1/2 inch main-
tained between the glazing. The outer glass should be clear red (or blue)
so that the lamp used for heating purposes may be readily observed, and
also the location of the extinguisher indicated.
(e) At a point about four inches up from the bottom, there shall be pro-
vided four 1/4 inch iron rods set into the sides of the cabinet, and arranged
to carry the extinguisher.
(f) Under these rods, on the back of the cabinet, shall be mounted a
three-inch conduit box and receptacle. All wiring shall be done in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code, by means of flexible or rigid
conduit, or approved reinforced portable cord.
(g) An incandescent lamp of sufficient capacity (not less than 50 watts)
to keep the temperature in cabinet above 40° F., but to in excess of 90° F.,
shall be continuously burned or thermostatically energized during cold
weather.
(h) Electric heaters listed by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., may be
used under the conditions specified.
Article 23o Table for Conversion of
Classification of Older Extinguishers to
Approximate Present Classification
§ 616. Method CDassification.
Under the present method of classification it is possible for units of the
same size to have different classifications. For example, 15-pound car-
bon dioxide extinguishers may have a classification of 4-B:C, 6-B:C, or
8-B:C, according to the fire extinguishing potential of the individual
units. Therefore, an exact conversion from the old method to new method
of classification is not possible.
§616.1. Use of Table (ISSew).
Wherever fire extinguishers are found with the present classification
on the label, this table should not be used. The classification is usable di-
rectly in the application of Article 11, "Placement of Portable Fire Extin-
guishers," of this part.
§ 616.2. Old Classification (Conversioo).
Wherever fire extinguishers are found with the old classification on
the label, use this table for approximate conversion and use the resulting
classification value in applying Article 1 1 of this part. For example, a
15-pound carbon dioxide extinguisher has the classification "B-1 , C-1"
on the label. From this table, it is found that the approximate classifica-
tion under the present method is "4-B,C" ( — 158).

(f) All fuses of every type and kind of fireworks items shall be securely
fixed in contact with the composition charge to insure against accidental
loss. Each fuse shall be capable of either supporting the combined weight
of the fireworks item plus eight ounces dead weight, or double the weight
of the item without separation from the fireworks article.
Fuses on all items shall bum for not less than 3 seconds but not more
than 6 seconds.
Fuses on all items shall be treated or coated in such a manner as to re-
duce the possibility of side ignition. The fuse on devices such as "ground
spinners" that require a restricted orifice for proper thrust and contain less
than 6 grams of pyrotechnic composition are exempt from this require-
ment.
Fireworks items sold or offered for sale at retail which are not enclosed
in sealed packages, shall have their fuses or other igniting means covered
in a manner approved by the State Fire Marshal to provide reasonable

vices that operate in a standing upright position shall have the minimum
horizontal dimensions or the diameter of the base equal to at least one-
third (1/3) of the height of the device including any base or cap affixed
thereto.
(h) The appearance of any fireworks items resembling those articles
classified by statute as "dangerous fireworks" shall constitute sufficient
grounds for their classificafions, by the State Fire Marshal, as "dangerous
fireworks." Special reference is intended, though not by way of limita-
tion, to cherry bombs and sky rockets and other fireworks which normal-
ly explode or rise in the air during discharge.
(i) Pinwheels shall be limited to a maximum overall diameter of 15 in-
ches, shall be substantially constructed and all driver gerbs, firepots and
other elements shall be firmly fixed to the wheel.
Drivers shall be securely attached to the device so that they will not
come loose in transportafion, handling, and normal operation. Wheel de-
vices intended to operate in a fixed location shall be designed in such a
manner that the axle remains attached to the device during normal opera-
tion.
(j) Smoke devices shall conform to the following:
(1) Smoke devices shall be so constructed that they wvlV neither burst
nor produce external flame (excluding the fuse and first fire upon igni-
tion).

§1015. Launching Rockets.
(a) Rockets may not be armed or launched except by an experienced
pyrotechnic operator, who, if he or she is not licensed, shall be directly
responsible to the licensed pyrotechnic operator in charge. The actual
arming operation shall be accomplished by a competent person. During
all arming operations all personnel shall take shelter when launching, ex-
cepting only the individual arming the rocket and his or her necessary as-
sistants.
All internal self-contained firing circuits (within the rocket) includ-
ing, but not by way of limitation, multiple stage ignition, parachute re-
leases, bursting charges, etc., shall be provided with an arming and dis-
arming device operable remotely from without the assembled rocket in
the launching position.
(b) The firing circuit shall be shunted at both the control center and the
launching site by the pyrotechnic operator assigned to arm the rocket.
Both shunts shall be in place and he or she shall test them to insure that
the tiring circuit is effectively short circuited, before the rocket is set in
the launching position.
(c) The single special key, which removes the launching site shunt
from the firing circuit, shall be the sole means for completing the firing
circuit at the control center. The arming operator shall retain the shunt
key in his or her personal possession from the time the circuit is initially
shunted until the arming operations are completed and he or she removes
the last shunt in the control center and establishes a ready firing circuit.
(d) No other means or device than a remotely controlled electric circuit
of an approved design may be used to launch single stage rockets or the
first stage of multistage rockets.

Chemicals
§ 1210. Chemical Registration.
Any chemical manufacturing concern desiring to have a chemical reg-
istered by the State Fire Marshal shall accompany its application with the
laboratory test report, and the registration fee as provided in Section
13127 of the Health and Safety Code.
§ 1 21 1 . Standard Fabrics.
Persons wishing to submit a llame-retardant chemical for registration
by the State Fire Marshal shall first obtain standard fabrics in accordance
with the provisions of this section. For exterior chemicals a 10-ounce
double filling grey duck (Federal Specification CCC-D-761 , February,
1933) will be used, while for interior chemical a #250 cotton drill dyed
blue Pontamine 4GLN (or its equivalent) color index #533 will be the
standard.
Chemicals intended for the treatment of synthetics such as acetate, ny-
lon, Orion and Dacron, and various fiber mixtures, shall be tested as
applied to appropriate fabrics made of such fibers or mixtures.
The concern submitting the sample for test may desize the standard ex-
terior fabric before application of the chemical if it so desires. If this is
done, however, the chemical will then be registered only for use on un-
sized or desized fabrics. This is based on the premise that a chemical
which is effective on sized material will be at least equally effective on
unsized material, but that the reverse is not necessarily true. If the con-
cern desires to submit its chemical for test on desized material, the entire
sample of standard fabric shall be desized before any portion of it is
treated with chemical or cut for testing.

laboratory, together with sufficient chemical to treat at least five yards of
the fabric, and the necessary instructions for its proper application. The
chemical shaU be applied as per instructions, by a member of the labora-
tory staff, or may be applied by the person submitting the chemical in the
presence of a member of the laboratory staff or a representative of the
State Fire Marshal's Office. If the applicant so desires he may treat the
test sample in his flame-retardant application plant in the presence of ei-
ther the laboratory staff member or a representative of the State Fire Mar-
shal. (See note.) Exterior chemicals shall be khaki color for testing.
§ 1214. Special Processes.
In cases where chemicals cannot be applied by spray, brush, or immer-
sion, but must be applied by a specialized plant process, they shall be reg-
istered only for such method of application. Samples of both the treated
and untreated fabric or material of sufficient size for test shall be sub-
mitted to an approved laboratory.

(Small Scale Test.) The specimens shall be conditioned by suspending
them in an oven having mechanical air circulation, at temperatures of
140° to 145° F. for not less than one hour, nor more than one and one-half
hours. Materials which distort or melt at the above oven exposure shall
be conditioned at 60" to 80° F. and 25 percent to 50 percent relative hu-
midity for not less than 24 hours.
Six specimens, each not less than two and one-half inches (2 1/2") x
twelve and one-half inches (12 1/2" ), shall be subjected to the fire resis-
tance test. One half of each set of specimens shall be cut with the long
dimension in the direction of the warp, and the other half with the long
dimension in the direction of the filling.
The specimens shall be suspended vertically in a rack which covers the
upper one-half inch (1/2" ) of the length and holds the sides firmly to pre-
vent curling, leaving a strip two inches (2") x twelve inches (12") ex-
posed. To protect the specimens from drafts, the apparatus shall be en-
closed in a sheet metal shield twelve inches (12") wide, twelve inches
(12") deep, and thirty inches (30") high, open at the top, and provided
with a vertical sliding glass front. Sufficient room shall be left at the bot-
tom of the front to allow manipulation of the gas burner used in igniting
the specimens.
The specimens shall be suspended with their lower end three-quarters
inch (3/4") above the top of a three-eighths inch (3/8") l.D. Bunsen or
Tirril gas burner, with the air supply completely shut off, and adjusted to
give a luminous flame one and one-half inches (1 1/2" ) long. The flame
shall be applied vertically at the center of the width of the lower end of
the specimens for twelve (12) seconds, then withdrawn, and the duration
of flaming in the specimens after withdrawal of the burner noted. After
complete extinction of all flame and glow in the specimen, the length of
char shall be measured, as specified in Federal Specifications

Flame-Retardant Application
Standards
§1290. Chemicals.
No flaine-retardant application concern shall apply a flame-retardant
chemical on a job governed by the scope of these regulations unless the
concern and the chemical are registered with and approved by the State
Fire Marshal.
§1291. Use.
No concern shall apply any tlame-retardant chemical to any fabric or
material for use goveined by the scope of these regulations unless the
chemical is registered with and approved by the State Fire Marshal for
treatment of that particular type of fabric or material.
§1292. Application.
The chemical shall be applied evenly and to all parts of the article be-
ing treated.
§1292.1. Fire-Resistance.
The treated fabric or material shall meet the requirements for fire resis-
tance described in Sections 1237, 1237.2, 1261, 1264.1, 1264.2 or
1 264.3, whichever is applicable. Samples for testing may be smaller than
sizes specified in these sections.

proved by the chemical manufacturer.
RECOMMENDED STANDARD PRACTICES
AND PRECAUTIONS
§1300. Pretreatment Examination.
Before applying any flame-retardant chemical, the application con-
cern shall first carefully examine the fabric or material to determine:
(a) The type of fabric or material.
(b) If it has been previously treated.
(c) If it contains any sizing or loading.
(d) If it can be effectively and safely treated.
Assuming that the fabric or material is of a type for which the chemical
has been registered, the concern must then decide how much chemical
must be applied. This will depend on the area to be treated and the type
of fabric. The percent weight gain must be commensurate with that deter-
mined for the cheiTiical on the standard qualifying fabric. It may be neces-
sary to apply slightly more or less chemical than this, depending on the
weight and type of the particular fabric being treated, but in every case
sufficient chemical shall be applied to obtain satisfactory flame resis-
tance.
If examination shows that the fabric has been previously treated, con-
sideration must be given to the possibility that the old treatment com-
bined with the new might nullify the flame-retardant effect, or might
cause excessively rapid deterioration of the fabric. Whenever possible,
all traces of any previous chemical treatment should be removed before
re-treating.
The presence of sizing in a fabric can have a decided effect on the
flame-retardant treatment, especially the exterior type. Some exterior
chemicals will be registered only for the treatment of unsized or desized
canvas, and may not be applied to a sized material unless the sizing is first
removed. Whenever practical, sizing should be removed before treat-
ment with any chemical, since a treatment is always more effective and
will last longer on an unsized fabric.
Celanese and acetate type rayons are extremely difficult to treat suc-
cessfully, even though chemicals may be listed as approved for such fab-
rics. Applicators are cautioned not to undertake the treatment of such fab-
rics unless they have adequate knowledge and experience.
Before treatment of printed or dyed interior fabrics, the applicator
must determine if the colors are fugitive and apt to run if the fabric is wet.
In such a case, the applicator must be especially careful in applying the
chemical, so as not to cause the colors to run.
It is an acknowledged fact that certain metals and metallic pigments
in contact with chlorinated paraffin will accelerate the liberation of hy-
drogen chloride, especially at high temperatures. This effect is most pro-
nounced with iron, zinc, and pigments composed mainly of salts of these
two elements. Zinc oxide is extremely harmful in this respect and its use
should be avoided, since its effect extends even to properly stabilized
chlorinated paraffins.
§1301. Fire Hazards.
Certain solvents, thinners, and penetrating agents (such as alcohol, to-
luol, ketones, petroleum solvents, etc.) sometimes used with flame-re-
tardant chemicals are highly flammable, and manufacturers and applica-
tors must take all necessary precautions to guard against the hazard of fire
when using such liquids, especially indoors.
§1302. Interlinings.
In the case of drapes, curtains, etc., which have interlinings, the appli-
cator shall make every effort to treat the lower, accessible pordon of the
interlining, but it shall not be deemed necessary to treat the entire interlin-
ing, or to open the bottom of the article if it has been sewed.
§1303. Water pH.
Manufacturers whose chemicals are diluted with water by the applica-
tor must take into account the variation in pH of the water supplies of var-
ious localities. The pH of tap water in the Los Angeles area is sometimes
as high as 8.7.
§1304. Liability.
Protection of public property is a primary responsibility of the applica-
tion concern in the field. Dripping, splattering, spilling, etc., should be
anticipated and provision made for use of drop cloths and shields. The
flame-retardant application concern may be held liable for damages to
persons or property arising out of and occurring during the course of
flame-retardant chemical apphcafion and for negligence of his or its
agents, servants, employees or subcontractors.

Article 7. Field Testing for Fire Resistance
§ 1310. Taking Specimens.
The specimens for making fire resistance tests may be taken by tiie in-
spection authority from any part of the fabric or material and in whatever
size and number he deems necessary, and the management shall permit
the State Fire Marshal or his duly authorized representative to take such
specimens for testing purposes. It is assumed that the inspection authority
will use reasonable judgment in taking test specimens to avoid unneces-
sary damage to the article.
§1311. Testing Specimens.
When tests are deemed necessary by the inspection authority, samples
should be taken and tested in accordance with the recommended proce-
dure on file in the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

§1320. Pre-Job Notification.
Prior to the performance of every job of flame-retardant chemical
application by a registered flame-retardant application concern on the
premises of any occupancy mentioned in Sections 13115 or 131 19 of the
Health and Safety Code, such concern shall first notify the local fire de-
partment or the nearest office of the State Fire Marshal, giving the time
and date that the job is to be performed. This provision shall not apply to
work done by an application concern on its own premises. The fire de-
partment or State Fire Marshal may take samples both of the chemical be-
ing applied and of the finished treated fabric(s).

ister 60, No. 23). For prior history see Register 21, No. 5.
2. Amendment filed 3-1-64 as procedural and organizational; effective upon fil-
ing (Register 67, No. 9).
§ 1321. FSame-Retafdant AppSication Certification.
After every job of flame retardant chemical application by a registered
flame-retardant application concern, an approved certificate of flame re-
sistance shall be furnished the person or concern for whom the work was
done, and copies sent the State Fire Marshal and the local fire authority.
These certificates shall be delivered within 10 days after completion of
the job, shall be filled out completely and signed by an authorized repre-
sentative of the registered application concern.
Notation shall be made on the reverse side of the certificate indicating
the kind of material and color, and, where curtains or drapes are treated,
whether they are unlined, lined, or lined and interlined. Whenever possi-
ble the location and use of the treated articles should be given also.
This section shall apply only in cases where treated fabrics are in-
tended for use or may sometimes be used in the State of California.
§ 1321.1. Fabric and Material Certification.
All concerns in whose name an approved flame-resistant fabric or ma-
terial is registered shall issue approved certificates of flame resistance
covering all such products sold for use in occupancies governed by the
statutes. Copies shall be furnished the buyer as well as the State Fire Mar-
shal and the local fire authority of the customer's city. These certificates
shall be delivered within 10 days after the product is shipped and shall
be filled out completely and signed by an authorized representative of the
concern.
In addition to the required description on the reverse side of the certifi-
cate as to yardage or quantity, color and kind, notation should be made
of the manufacturer' s production or lot control number, the purchase or-
der or invoice number, and, where possible, the ultimate location and use.
§ 1 322. Certified True Copies.
Upon receipt of written request justifying such privilege, the State Fire
Marshal may authorize issuance of certified true copies of certificates of
flame resistance where conditions warrant. These certified true copies
shall conform in every detail with the approved standard form on file in
the office of State Fire Marshall. This form is idenucal to the approved
standard certificate of flame resistance, with an additional legend ap-
pended, as follows:
We hereby certify this to be a taie copy of the original "CERTIFI-
CATE OF FLAME RESISTANCE" issued to us, "original copy" of
which has been filed with the California State Fire Marshal.
Spaces are provided below the legend for the names of the authorized
issuing concern and its designated official.
In every instance when a certified true copy is issued, a copy shall be
filed with the State Fire Marshal and the local fire authority in the custom-
er' s city. Test specimens of required size shall accompany the copy sent
to the State Fire Marshal.
All of the data from the original certificate shall be copied exactly, spe-
cial attention being given to the name of the registered chemical, fabric,
or material and its registration number and the name of the issuing con-
cern's official.
Notation shall be made on the reverse side of the certified true copy
showing (a) the location of ultimate use, when known or obtainable, such
as school, theater, night club, or other occupancy governed by the stat-
utes, (b) the yardage or quantity, (c) the kind of fabric or material, (d) its
color, (e) the manufacturer's batch or production control number, and (f)
the purchase order or invoice number as a means for identification.
§ 1 323. Filing Test Samples.
Flame-retardant application concerns shall attach to the certificate
submitted to the State Fire Marshal's office not less than one two-inch
(2" ) X six-inch (6" ) test sample of the fabric or material treated by them,
excepting only where such sample cannot be taken without defacing fin-
ished converted goods such as curtains, drapes, flats, etc. No exception
is permitted for yardage goods.
Test specimens of approved registered fabrics and materials shall be
submitted to the State Fire Marshal. The wide variation in fire resistant
quality of registered products, ranging from noncombustible to flame-
proof, militates against setting a single test size and frequency. In gener-
al, a one foot (1 ' ) by three foot (3 ' ) specimen of each unit or lot of fabric
and film production bearing the production or lot number shall be sub-
mitted by the producer directly to the State Fire Marshal. For other spe-
cial fabrics and materials, the sample size and test frequency will be spe-
cified on an individual basis to the concern in whose name the product
is registered.
§1324. Job Labeling.
To every arficle that is treated and to every roll or package of registered
approved fabric or material a small label or tag shall be securely affixed,
bearing the following information:
(a) The Seal of Registration of the State Fire Marshal of California.
(b) Name and registration number of the concern responsible for the
job or producUon.
(c) Name of the registered chemical used or the registered fabric or ma-
terial.
(d) Date the chemical was applied, or the fabric or material was pro-
duced.
(e) The statement, "This article must be re-treated after washing or
drycleaning by systems with soap and water added" (if treated with a
"Type 11" chemical).
This information may be stamped, printed or stenciled on the article
if so desired.
Concerns which treat or manufacture yardage goods may print or sten-
cil their name, or the name of their fabric if registered, on the salvage (at
least once every three yards) instead of affixing the label or tag as above.

§1326. Retreatment.
In cases where instructions are issued by the State Fire Marshal requir-
ing retreatment or replacement of fabrics or materials previously treated
with a flame-retardant chemical or registered as an approved fabric or
material, the retreatment or replacement shall be made within ten (10)
days after date of the order so requiring. A new certificate of flame resis-
tance covering each such retreatment shall be delivered as for an original
job as is provided for by Section 1321. A new sample of the retreated fab-
ric or material shall be attached to the certificate of flame resistance sub-
mitted to the State Fire Marshal.
§1327. Installation.
The standard fire resistance tests presume installation of approved reg-
istered fabrics in a normal vertical position. Some decorative materials
installed otherwise, such as in narrow strips or suspended overhead in a
horizontal position, may exhibit different burning characteristics. Since
it is not feasible to devise tests for all such installations differing from
normal, they must be judged on an individual basis. Where indicated, the
State Fire Marshal may perform such additional tests as he deems neces-
sary to insure adequate fire resistance of materials as installed.

AGENT SHALL BE DETERMINED BY MEANS OF A NO. 8 TEST
BLASTING CAP AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND AFTER EVERY
CHANGE IN FORMULATION, OR AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY
THE "CHIEF'- HAVING JURISDICTION.
(a) Oxidizers of small particle size, such as crushed prills or fines, may
be more sensitive and hazardous than the ordinary prills and should be
handled with greater care.
(b) No liquid fuel with flash point lower than that of No. 2 Diesel fuel
oil (1 lOF. minimum or equal) shall be used.
(c) Crude oil and crankcase oil shall not be used because they may con-
tain light ends that offer increased vapor-explosion hazards or gritty par-
ticles that tend to sensitize the resulting blasting agent.
(d) If solid fuels are used, they shall be chosen so as to minimize dust-
explosion hazard.
(e) Metal dusts (aluminum powder, etc.), peroxides, chlorates, or
perchlorates shall not be used unless such operations are conducted in a
manner approved by the "Chief having jurisdiction.
(f) Unusual compositions shall not be attempted except under the su-
pervision of competent personnel equipped to determine the overall haz-
ard of the resulting compositions.

Washdown facihties shall be provided. An automatic water-deluge
system with adequate capacity is required to protect mixers and the fini-
shed-explosive storage area in the plant. Floors shall be constructed so
as to eliminate open floor drains into which molten materials could flow
and be confined in case of fire. The floors and equipment of the mixing
and packaging room shall be washed down frequently to prevent accu-
mulation of oxidizers or fuels and other sensitizers. The entire mixing
and packaging plant shall be washed down periodically to prevent exces-
sive accumulation of dust.200.26Z-21

Notes to Table of Distances for Storage of Explosives
Note: 1 — "Barricaded" means that a building containing explosives is effectual-
ly screened from a magazine, building, railway, or highway, either by a natural
barricade, or by an artificial barricade of such height that a straight line from the
top of any sidewall of the building containing explosives to the eave line of any
magazine, or building, or to a point twelve feet above the center of a railway or
highway, will pass through such intervening natural or artificial barricade.
Note: 2 — "Natural Barricade" means natural features of the ground, such as hills,
or timber of sufficient density that the surrounding exposures which require pro-
tection cannot be seen from the magazine when the trees are bare of leaves.
Note: 3 — "Artificial Barricade" means an artificial mound or rivetted wall of
earth of a minimum thickness of three feet.
Note: 4 — When a building containing explosives is not barricaded, the distances
shown in the Table shall be doubled.
Note: 5 — When two or more storage magazines are located on the same property,
each magazine must comply with the minimum distances specified from inhabited
buildings, railways, and highways, and in addition, they should be separated from
each other by not less than the distances shown for "Separation of Magazines," ex-
cept that the quantity of explosives contained in cap magazines shall govern in re-
gard to the spacing of said cap magazines from magazines containing other explo-
sives. If any two or more magazines are separated from each other by less than the
specified "Separation of Magazines" distances, then such two or more magazines,
as a group, must be considered as one magazine, and the total quantity of explo-
sives stored in such gioup must be treated as if stored in a single magazine located
on the site of any magazine of the group, and must comply with the minimum of
distances specified from other magazines, inhabited buildings, railways, and high-
ways.
Note; 6 — The permanent storage of more than 300,000 pounds of commercial
explosives in one magazine or in a group of magazines which is considered as one
magazine is not permitted except by specific approval of the enforcing official.
Note: 7 — This table applies only to the manufacture and permanent storage of
commercial explosives. It is not applicable to transportafion of explosives, or any
handling or temporary storage necessary or incident thereto. It is not intended to
apply to bombs, projectiles, or other heavily encased explosives and small quanti-
ties in commercial establishments.
Note: 8 — All types of blasting caps in strengths through No, 8 cap shall be rated
at 1 1/2 pounds of explosives per 1,000 caps. For strengths higher than No. 8 cap,
consult the chief having jurisdicfion.
Note: 9 — For quantity and distance purposes, detonating fuse up to 60 grains per
foot, shall be calculated as equivalent to nine (9) pounds of high explosives per
1000 feet. Heavier cord loads shall be rated proportionally.

Notes to Table of Separation Distances of Ammonium Nitrate and
Blasting Agents from Explosives or Blasting Agents
Note: 1 — Separation distances to prevent explosion of ammonium nitrate and
ammonium nitrate-based blasting agents by propagation from nearby stores of
high explosives or blasting agents referred to in the Table as the "donor." Anuno-
nium nitrate, by itself, is not considered to be a donor when applying this Table.
If stores of ammonium nitrate are located within the sympathetic detonation dis-
tance of explosives or blasting agents, one-half the mass of the ammonium nitrate
should be included in the mass of the donor. These distances allow for the possibil-
ity of high velocity metal fragments from mixers, hoppers, truck bodies, sheet met-
al structures, metal containers, and the like, which may enclose the "donor." These
distances apply to the separation of stores only. The Table of Distances shall be
used in determining separation distances from inhabited buildings, passenger rail-
ways and public highways.
Note: 2 — When the ammonium nitrate and/or blasting agent is not barricaded,
the distances shown in the Table shall be multiplied by six. Where storage is in bul-
let-resistant magazines recommended for explosives, or where the storage is pro-
tected by a bullet-resistant wall, distances and barricade thicknesses in excess of
those prescribed in the Table of Distances are not required.
Page 104
(4-1-90)
Title 19
State Fire Marshal
§ 1S843
Note: 3 — The distances in tiie Table apply to anunonium nitrate that passes the
insensitivity test prescribed in the definition of ammonium nitrate fertilizer pro-
mulgated by the National Plant Food Institute; and aiTunonium nitrate failing to
pass said test shall be stored at separation distances determined by competent per-
sons and approved by the chief having jurisdiction.
Note: 4 — These distances apply to nitro-carbo-nitrates and blasting agents
which pass the insensitivity test prescribed in the DOT regulations.
Note: 5 — Earth, or sand dikes or enclosures filled with the prescribed minimum
thickness of earth or sand are acceptable artificial barricades. Natural banicades,
such as hills or timber of sufficient density that the surrounding exposures which
require protection cannot be seen from the "donor" when the trees are bare of
leaves, are also acceptable.
Note: 6 — When the ammonium nitrate must be counted in determining the dis-
tances to be maintained from the inhabited buildings, passenger railways and pub-
lic highways, it may be counted at one-half its actual weight because ils blast effect
is lower.
Note: 7 — If any receptor and donor are separated from each other by less than the
specified "'Minimum Separation Distance of Receptor," then such receptor and do-
nor, as a group, must be considered as one magazine, and the total quantity of ex-
plosives and blasting agents stored in such group must be treated as if stored in a
single magazine located on the site of any magazine of the group and must comply
with the minimum distances specified from other magazines, inhabited buildings,
railways and highways.

Unmixed plosophoric compounds shall be transported subject to their
classification in accordance with U.S.D.O.T. regulations governing haz-
ardous materials. When permitted and where unmixed plosophoric com-
pounds are transported with cargoes containing classified explosives
such transportation shall be regulated by applicable permits to transport
explosives. When the quantity or class of initiating devices are deemed
to be explosives under the regulations of the U.S.D.O.T., an appropriate
permit to transport such explosives with unmixed plosophoric com-
pounds shall be required. Any vehicle transporting plosophoric com-
pounds shall be capable of providing reasonable security for the safe-

The storage of all hazardous substances shall comply with the nationally
recognized standards as published by the National Fire Protection Asso-
ciation. Unmixed plosophoric compounds shall be stored so that the indi-
vidual components are separated by a space of at least 50 feet, or they
shall be separated by a wall of not less than one-hour fire-resistive con-
struction, with any opening protected with an approved one-hour fire-
resistive door. When the plosophoric compounds are separated by the
minimum 50 feet, the intervening space may be utilized for the storage
of other materials which under no circumstances are incompatible with
any of the plosophoric compounds. Where any material is incompatible
with any plosophoric compound such materials shall be separated from
the plosophoric compound by a wall of not less than one-hour fire-resis-
tive construction, with any opening protected by an approved one-hour
fire-resistive door.
Notwithstanding any provisions contained within the National Fire
Protection Association standards referenced herein, the storage of all

disks or other tank venting devices installed in the tank vent pipes.
(e) Tank vent pipes shall terminate into the open atmosphere and shall
be at least 12 feet above the adjacent ground level. The outlet shall vent
upward or horizontally and be located so as to eliminate the possibility
of vapors accumulating or traveling to a source of ignition or entering ad-
jacent buildings.
(0 Vent pipes from tanks storing the same class of liquids may be con-
nected into one outlet pipe. The vapor discharge capacity of manifolded
vent piping shall be sufficient to limit back pressure development to less
tlian the maximum working pressure of tanks, associated piping and oth-
er equipment when two tanks are filled simultaneously.
(g) Vent pipes shall be adequately supported throughout their length.
When they are supporting weights in addition to their own, additional
supports may be required.

pliance order or proposed civil penalty amount. A respondent's failure

he will be represented by counsel at the hearing.
(b) In such circumstances as deemed appropriate by the Division, and
only if the respondent concurs, a telephone conference may be held in
lieu of a hearing.

mation. The respondent may then respond to that information.
(h) After the evidence in the case has been presented, the presiding of-
ficial shall permit argument on the issues under consideration.

tion in the case. This recommendation, along with any material submitted
during and after the hearing, shall be included in the case file which is

This Chapter shall be known and may be cited as the Standardized
Emergency Management System (SEMS) Regulations.
Note. Authority cited: Section 8607(a), Government Code. Reference: Section
8607, Government Code.
History
1. Renumbering of former chapter 1 to chapter 2 and new chapter 1, article 1, and
section filed 8-3-94; operative 9-2-94 (Register 94, No. 31).
Article 2= Purpose and Scope
§ 2401. Purpose and Scope.
These regulations establish the Standardized Emergency Manage-
ment System (SEMS) based upon the Incident Command System (ICS)
adapted from the system originally developed by the Firefighting Re-
sources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies (FIRE-
SCOPE) program including those currently in use by state agencies, the
Multi-Agency Coordination System (MACS) as developed by FIRE-
SCOPE program, the operational area concept, and the Master Mutual
Aid Agreement and related mutual aid systems.
SEMS is intended to standardize response to emergencies involving
multiple jurisdictions or multiple agencies. SEMS is intended to be flex-
ible and adaptable to the needs of all emergency responders in California.
SEMS requires emergency response agencies use basic principles and
components of emergency management including ICS, multi-agency or
inter-agency coordination, the operational area concept, and established
mutual aid systems. State agencies must use SEMS. Local government
must use SEMS by December I, 1996 in order to be eligible for state
funding of response-related personnel costs pursuant to activities identi-
fied in California Code of Regulations, Title 19, §2920, §2925, and
§2930. Individual agencies' roles and responsibilities contained in exist-
ing laws or the state emergency plan are not superseded by these regula-
tions.
NOTE: Authority cited: Sections 86075(a) and 8607(b), Government Code. Refer-
ence: Section 8607, Government Code; and Sections 1 3071 and 1 3072, Health and

Title 19
(b) There are five designated levels in the SEMS organization: field
response, local government, operational area, regional, and state. Each
level is activated as needed.
(1) "Field response level" commands emergency response personnel
and resources to carry out tactical decisions and activities in direct re-
sponse to an incident or threat.
(2) "Local government level" manages and coordinates the overall
emergency response and recovery activities within their jurisdiction.
(3) "Operational area level" manages and/or coordinates information,
resources, and priorities among local governments within the operational
area and serves as the coordination and communication linJc between the
local government level and the regional level.
(4) "Regional level" manages and coordinates information and re-
sources among operational areas within the mutual aid region designated
pursuant to Government Code §8600 and between the operational areas
and the state level. This level along with the state level coordinates over-
all state agency support for emergency response activities.
(5) "State level" manages state resources in response to the emergency
needs of the other levels, manages and coordinates mutual aid among the
mutual aid regions and between the regional level and state level, and
serves as the coordination and communication link with the federal disas-
ter response system.
(c) Local government, operational area, regional, and state levels shall
provide for all of the following functions within SEMS: management,
operations, planning/intelligence, logistics, and finance/administration.

dination through the joint efforts of governmental agencies and private
organizations.
(2) Operations is responsible for coordinating all jurisdictional opera-
tions in support of the response to the emergency through implementa-
tion of the organizational level's action plan.
(3) Planning/Intelligence is responsible for collecting, evaluating, and
disseminating information; developing the organizational level's action
plan in coordination with the other functions; and maintaining documen-
tation.
(4) Logistics is responsible for providing facilities, services, person-
nel, equipment, and materials.

History
l.New article 4 and section filed 8-3-94; operative 9-2-94 (Register 94, No. 31).
§ 2405. Field Response Level.
(a) Emergency response agencies operating at the field response level
of an incident shall utilize the Incident Command System, incorporating
the functions, principles and components of ICS.
(1) The functions of ICS are command, operations, planning, logistics
and finance.
(A) Command is the directing, ordering, and/or controlling of re-
sources by virtue of explicit legal, agency, or delegated authority.
(B) Operations is responsible for the coordinated tactical response of
all field operations directly applicable to or in support of the mission(s)
in accordance with the Incident Action Plan.
(C) Planning (may be referred to as planning/intelligence) is responsi-
ble for the collection, evaluation, documentation, and use of information
about the development of the incident, and the status of resources.
(D) Logistics is responsible for providing facilities, services, person-
nel, equipment, and materials in support of the incident.
(E) Finance (may be referred to as finance/administration) is responsi-
ble for all financial and cost analysis aspects of the incident, and for any
administrative aspects not handled by the other functions.
(2) The principles of ICS are that:
(A) The system provides for the following kinds of operation: single
jurisdictional responsibility/single agency involvement, single jurisdic-
tional responsibility with multiple-agency involvement, and multiple-
jurisdictional responsibility with multiple-agency involvement.
(B) The system's organizational structure adapts to any emergency or
incident to which emergency response agencies would be expected to re-
spond.
(C) The system shall be applicable and acceptable to all user agencies.
(D) The system is readily adaptable to new technology.
(E) The system expands in a rapid and logical manner from an initial
response into a major incident and contracts just as rapidly as organiza-
tional needs of the situation decreases.
(F) The system has basic common elements in organization, terminol-
ogy and procedures.
(3) The components of ICS are common terminology, modular organi-
zation, unified command structure, consolidated action plans, manage-
able span-of-control, predesignated incident facilities, comprehensive
resource management, and integrated communications.
(A) Common terminology is the established common titles for organi-
zational functions, resources, and facilities within ICS.
(B) Modular organization is the method by which the ICS organiza-
tional structure develops based upon the kind and size of an incident. The
organization's staff builds from the top down with responsibility and per-
formance placed initially with the Incident Commander. As the need ex-
ists, operations, planning, logistics, and finance may be organized as sep-
arate sections, each with several units.
(C) Unified command structure is a unified team effort which allows
all agencies with responsibility for the incident, either geographical or
functional, to manage an incident by establishing a common set of inci-
dent objecfives and strategies. This is accomplished without losing or ab-
dicating agency authority, autonomy, responsibility or accountability.
(D) Consolidated action plans identify objectives and strategy deter-
minations made by the Incident Commander for the incident based upon
the requirements of the jurisdiction. In the case of a unified command,
the incident objectives must adequately reflect the policy and needs of all
the jurisdictional agencies. The action plan for the incident covers the
tactical and support activities required for the operational period.
(E) Manageable span-of-control within ICS is a limitation on the
number of emergency response personnel who can effectively be super-
vised or directed by an individual supervisor. The kind of incident, the
nature of the response or task, distance and safety will influence the span
of control range. The ordinary span-of-control range is between three
and seven personnel.
(F) Predesignated incident facilities are identified within ICS. The de-
termination of the kinds and locations of facilities to be used will be based
upon the requirements of the incident.
(G) Comprehensive resource management is the identification, group-
ing, assignment and tracking of resources.
(H) Integrated communications are managed through the use of a com-
mon communications plan and an incident-based communications cen-
ter established for the use of tactical and support resources assigned to
the incident.
(b) Where an agency has jurisdiction over multiple-agency incidents,
it shall organize the field response using ICS to provide for coordinated
decision-making with emergency response agencies.

1. New section filed 8-3-94; operative 9-2-94 (Register 94, No. 31).
§ 2409. OperationaS Area Level.
(a) "Operational Area Level" means an intermediate level of the state
emergency services organization, consisting of a county and all political
subdivisions within the county area. Each county geographic area is des-
ignated as an operational area. An operational area is used by the county
and the poUtical subdivisions comprising the operational area for the
coordination of emergency activities and to serve as a link in the system
of communications and coordination between the state's emergency op-
eration centers and the operation centers of the political subdivisions
comprising the operational area, as defined in Government Code
§8559(b) & §8605. This definition does not change the definition of op-
erational area as used in the existing fire and rescue mutual aid system.
(b) All local governments within the county geographic area shall be
organized into a single operational area by December 1, 1995, and the
county board of supervisors shall be responsible for its establishment.
(c) The operational area authority and responsibility under SEMS
shall not be affected by non-participation of any local govemment(s)
within the operational area.
(d) The county government shall serve as the lead agency of the opera-
tional area unless another member agency of the operational area as-
sumes that responsibility by written agreement with county government.
(e) The lead agency of the operational area shall:
(1) Coordinate information, resources and priorities among the local
governments within the operational area.

§2570.1. Purpose.
The Legislature has long provided a state-funded program of workers'
compensation benefits for disaster service worker volunteers who con-
tribute their services to protect the health and safety and preserve the h ves
and property of the people of the state. This program was established to
protect such volunteers from financial loss as a result of injuries sustained
while engaged in disaster service activities and to provide immunity from
hability for such disaster service worker volunteers while providing di-
saster service.

§ 2570.2. Definitions.
(a) Disaster Service Worker.
(a) A disaster service worker is any person registered with a disaster
council or the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, or a state
agency granted authority to register disaster service workers, for the pur-
pose of engaging in disaster service pursuant to the California Emergen-
cy Services Act without pay or other consideration.
(2) Disaster service worker includes public employees, and also in-
cludes any unregistered person impressed into service during a state of
war emergency, a state of emergency, or a local emergency by a person
having authority to command the aid of citizens in the execution of his
or her duties.
(3) Exclusion: Disaster service worker does not include any member
registered as an active fire fighting member of any regularly organized
volunteer fire department, having official recognition, and full or partial
support of the county, city, town or district in which such fire department
is located.
(b) Disaster Service.
(1) Disaster service means all activities authorized by and carried on
pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act, including approved
and documented training necessary or proper to engage in such activities.
(2) Exclusion. Disaster service does not include any activities or func-
tions performed by a person if the disaster council with which the person
is registered receives a fee or other compensation for the performance of
that person's activities or functions.
(c) Training. For purposes of these regulations, training is a planned
activity sponsored by a disaster council (or designated agency or author-
ity) and may include classroom instruction, disaster drills or exercises,
or related activities that are designed to enhance the disaster response
skills (including safety) of the disaster service worker.
(d) Disaster Council. A disaster council is a public agency established
by ordinance which is empowered to register and direct the activities of
disaster service workers within the area of the county, city, city and
county, or any part thereof. In this respect, the disaster council is acting
as an instrument of the state in aid of carrying out general state govern-
ment functions and policy with regard to disaster services.
(e) Accredited Disaster Council. A disaster council may become ac-
credited through certification by the California Emergency Council, or
the Governor when the Emergency Council is not meeting, when the di-
saster council agrees to follow and comply with the rules and regulations
established by the Emergency Council pursuant to the provisions of the
Emergency Services Act. Upon certification, and not before, the disaster
council becomes an accredited disaster council. A disaster council re-
mains accredited only while the certification of the California Emergen-
cy Council is in effect and is not revoked.
(f) Auxiliary Fire Fighter. An auxiliary fire fighter is a person re-
cruited, registered and trained as a supplement or reserve for unusual fire
emergencies or disaster situations. Workers' compensation benefits for
auxiliary fire fighters may be provided by the state. An auxiliary fire
fighter is not a "volunteer fire fighter," who is a person recruited and
trained to meet the day-to-day operadonal requirements of a fire depart-
ment. Workers' compensation insurance premiums for the volunteer fire
fighter are the responsibility of the local government or fire entity.
(g) Public Employee. All persons employed by the state or any county,
city, city and county, state agency or public district, excluding aliens le-
gally employed, are considered to be public employees.

e 3o Classifications and General
[ies of Disaster Service Worker
Volunteers
§ 2572.1 . Classifications and General Duties.
The various classifications of disaster service workers and the general
duties of the members of each classification shall be limited to those de-
scribed below:
(a) Animal Rescue, Care and Shelter. Veterinarians, veterinary sup-
port staff and animal handlers providing skills in the rescue, clinical treat-
ment, and transportation of all animals, including but not limited to com-
panion animals, livestock, poultry, fish, exhibition animals, zoo animals,
laboratory and research animals, and wildlife; assisting in the procure-
ment of shelters, equipment, and supplies; documenting arrival, shelter-
ing, treatment, and discharge or placement of animals.
(b) Communications. Install, operate and maintain various communi-
cations systems and perform related service, to assist officials and indi-
viduals in the protection of life and property.
(c) Community Emergency Response Team Member. Under the di-
rection of emergency personnel or a designated team leader, assist emer-
gency units within their block, neighborhood, or other area assignment;
survey area conditions; disseminate information; secure data desirable
for emergency preparedness planning; report incidents; and generally as-
sist officials and individuals in the protection of life and property.
(d) Finance and Administrative Staff. Perform executive, administra-
tive, technical, financial and clerical functions for the emergency organi-
zation.
(e) Human Services. Assist in providing food, clothing, bedding, shel-
ter, and rehabilitation aid; register evacuees to promote reuniting fami-
lies and to support the needs of special populations; compile authoritative
lists of deceased and missing persons; and other phases of emergency hu-
man services, such as maintaining morale and administering to the men-
tal health, religious or spiritual needs of persons suffering from the ef-
fects of the disaster.
(f) Fire. As auxiliary fire fighters or auxiliary wildland fire fighters, as-
sist regular fire fighting forces or fire protection agencies to fight fire, res-
cue persons, and save property; control forest or wildland fires or fire
hazards; instruct residents in fire prevention and property defense meth-
ods, methods of detecting fire, and precautions to be observed in reduc-
ing fire hazards.
( 1 ) For purposes of these regulations only, the ratios between auxiliary
fire fighters, volunteer fire fighters, and paid fire fighters shall be one
auxiliary for one volunteer and three volunteers for one paid fire fighter.
The basis for applying these ratios is that the staffing of an engine compa-
ny, truck company, or a squad shall not exceed six paid fire fighters, and
a salvage and rescue company shall not exceed two paid fire fighters. A
fire department that has no volunteer fire fighters is liinited to three auxil-
iary fire fighters for each paid fire fighter in the companies and squads,
staffed as above. These staffing standards are based on the number of first
line (not reserve) apparatus operated by the fire department.
(2) When auxiliary fire fighters are registered with other than an estab-
lished fire service organization; for example, auxihary fire fighters in a
county or city emergency management services organization, a total
number of eligible auxiliary fire fighters shall be computed for that city
or unincorporated area. The emergency management services organiza-
tion is entitled to register auxiliary fire fighters not otherwise registered
with other established fire service organizations, and to a number not to
exceed the allowable total as indicated in Secfion 2572.1(f)(1), above.
(g) Laborer. Under the direction and supervision of the responding
agency, performs general labor services and supports emergency opera-
tions.
(h) Law Enforcement. As Auxiliaries, assist law enforcement officers
and agencies to protect life and property; maintain law and order; per-
form traffic control duties; guard buildings, bridges, factories, and other
facilities; isolate and report unexploded ordnance.

in procurement, warehousing, and release of supplies, equipment materi-
als, or other resources. Assist in mobilizafion and utilization of public and
private transportation resources required for the movement of persons,
materials, and equipment.
(j) Medical and Environmental Health. Staff casualty stations, estab-
lish and operate medical and public health field units; assist in hospitals,
out-patient clinics, and other medical and public health installations;
maintain or restore environmental sanitation; assist in preserving the
safety of food, milk, and water and preventing the spread of disease; per-
form laboratory analysis to detect the presence and minimize the effects
of nuclear, chemical, biological, radiological or other hazardous agents.
(k) Safety Assessment Inspector. Survey, evaluate and assess dam-
aged facilities for continued occupancy or use; assist in emergency resto-
rafion of facilities for utiliues, transportation, and other vital community
services; and provide recommendations regarding shoring or stabiliza-
tion of damaged or unsafe buildings or structures.
(/) Search and Rescue. Under the direction of the appropriate author-
ity, perform search and rescue operations in one or more of several areas
including: search and rescue; urban search and rescue; or mine and con-
fined space rescue.
(m) Utilides. Assist uulity personnel in the repair and restoration of
public utilities damaged by disaster.

the meanings noted:
(a) "Alteration": Has the same meaning as specified in Section 6006
of the Water Code.
(b) "Appropriate Public Safety Agency": Any city, city and county,
county, state, or other public agency organized, existing, and acting pur-
suant to the law, which is authorized under the law to exercise police
power to establish emergency procedures and effect emergency actions
within its jurisdiction.
(c) "Breach": A sudden opening through a dam that drains the reser-
voir. An uncontrolled breach is one that results in an unintentional dis-
charge from the reservoir.
(d) "Breach elevation": The elevation of the water in a reservoir above
sea level at the time of the dam failure using the National Geodetic Verti-
cal Datum of 1 929 (NGVD) standard (National Oceanic and Atmospher-
ic Administration, National Geodetic Survey).
(e) "Breach time": The modeled time elapsed from initial dam failure
to total dam failure.
(f) "Cross-section": A lower elevation point or linear representation
on an inundation map where flood measurements are calculated.
(g) "Dam": Has the same meaning as specified in Sections 6002, 6003,
and 6004 of the Water Code.
(h) "Dam Owner": The person, agency, jurisdiction or other legal enti-
ty responsible for a dam.
(i) "Debris": Soil, rock, and organic matter carried by the floodwaters
that emanate from a watershed.
(j) "Debris Basin": A permanent flood control facility that has the pri-
mary purpose of separating debris from the floodwaters and storing the
debris for future removal.
(k) "Debris Dam": A dam that has the primary purpose of holding back
debris captured in, and stored by the debris basin.
(/) "Deflood time": The time elapsed from the initial failure of the dam
until the measured location returns to its preflood water elevation prior
to the failure.
(m) "Design Flood": The flood magnitude that a dam will be subject
to for analysis in a dam failure study. When a federal survey has been au-
thorized, the design probable maximum flood will be determined by the
appropriate federal agency.
(n) "Dynamic Routing": HydrauHc flow routing based on the solution
of the St.-Venant equation(s) to compute the changes of discharge and
stage with respect to time at various locations along a stream. St.-Venant
equations are nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations. The
equations are derived from mass and momentum balances and are given
by
il + -^ =
dt +[^B - A^J dx A +dx +8MSf- S) =
where A is the cross sectional area of the channel, B is the width of the
water surface, Q is the flow (discharge), g is the gravity, .^is the friction
slope, and S is the mean bed slope. The friction slope is a nonlinear func-
tion of the channel geometry. In the above equation it is assumed that the
lateral inflow is zero.
(o) "Enlargement": Has the same meaning as specified in Section 6007
of the Water Code.
(p) "Flood": A temporary rise in water surface elevation of one foot
or more greater than that existing under pre-dam failure conditions re-
sulting in inundation of areas not normally covered by water as a result
of a dam failure.
(q) "Flood Routing": A process of determining progressively the am-
plitude of a flood wave as it moves past a dam and continues downstream.
(r) "Flood Stage": A flood height at which a watercourse overtops its
banks and begins to cause damage to any portion of the defined reach.
(s) "Flood Storage": The retention of water or delay of runoff either
by planned operation, as in a reservoir, or by temporary filling of over-
flow areas, as in the progression of a flood wave through a natural stream
channel.
(t) "Floodwave arrival time": The time counted from the failure of the
dam until the arrival of the wave front (or leading edge of the flood wave).
A flood wave is a minimum of one (1) foot increase in the level of water
above the stream flow or natural surface elevation before the dam failure.
(u) "Floodwave maximum elevation": This is the highest flood stage
elevation of the floodwaters as it passes a specific location. Floodwave
maximum elevation cannot be less than the norma! water elevation prior
to the dam failure event because a "no flooding" condition exists.
(v) "Freeboard": Vertical distance between a specified Stillwater res-
ervoir surface elevation and the top of the dam, without camber.
(w) "Full": For an on stream dam, the maximum elevation of the water
in the reservoir during the Inflow Design Flood (IDF); for an off stream
dam, the maximum elevation of the water in the reservoir at the dam crest.
(x) "Hydrograph": A graphical representation of the water discharge
with respect to time for a particular point on a stream, river or at the point
of breach.
(y) "Inflow Design Flood (IDF)": The flood flow above which the in-
cremental increase in downstream water surface elevation due to failure
of a dam or other water impounding structure is no longer considered to
present an unacceptable additional downstream threat. The upper limit
of the IDF is the probable maximum flood.
(z) "Inundation Area": The area downstream of a dam that would be
inundated or otherwise affected by the failure of the dam and accompa-
nying large flood flows.
(aa) "Inundation Map": A map, as specified in Government Code
8589.5, showing the area that would be inundated by flooding from an
uncontrolled release of a dam's reservoir.
(bb) "Inundation Pathway": The boundary of the floodwaters released
by a dam failure.
(cc) "Office": The Governor's Office of Emergency Services.
(dd) "Overtopping": The mode of dam failure wherein reservoir wa-
ters exceed crest elevation and the resultant flow causes failure by dam
crest erosion.
(ee) "Peak flow": The water flow expressed in cubic feet per second
(cfs) at the floodwave maximum elevation.
(ff) "Probable Maximum Flood (PMF)": The flood that may be ex-
pected from the most severe combination of critical meteorological and
hydrologic conditions that is reasonably possible in the drainage basin
under study.
(gg) "Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP)": Theoretically, the
greatest depth of precipitation for a given duration that is physically pos-
sible over a given size storm area at a particular geographical location
during a certain time of the year.
(hh) "Qmax": Maximum breach discharge as measured in cubic feet
per second (cfs).
(ii) "Reservoir": Has the same meaning as specified in Section 6004.5
of the Water Code.

prior to the filling of any dam under constaiction or enlargement.
(b) An inundation map and technical study shall be submitted to the
Office within 180 days of the final approval of these regulations for any
existing dam not having an approved inundation map, or for which the
dam owner has not apphed for a waiver.
(c) A dam owner shall respond to recommendations made by the Of-
fice to conform inundation maps to sections 2577.4-2577.5. The re-
sponse shall be submitted to the Office within 60 days of mailing of such
recommendations.
(d) Failure by the dam owner to comply with a request for information
from the Office within 60 days and in a reasonably responsive manner
shall be cause for the Office to disapprove an inundation map.
(e) An inundation map submittal will be considered complete when the
Office has received two (2) copies of the completed technical study and
map incorporating the recommendations by the Office.
(f) The Office, for good cause, may extend any time requirement. The
Office may additionally forgo any information required for a complete
inundation map submittal, including but not limited to the requirements
of sections 2577.4 -2577.5 where the Office determines that it has suffi-
cient information to commence and complete a review, and that all re-
quirements for issuance of an approval will be met and substantial accu-
racy will not be compromised by such action.
(g) Each dam must have its own individual technical study. A technical
study may only address multiple dams if it is a situation where it is prob-
able that the failure of one dam will cause the failure of one or more dams
downstream.

(3) If a stationary source has a process with more than a threshold
quantity of a regulated substance as listed in Tables 1 or 2 and Table 3
of Section 2770.5, the owner or operator shall comply with the provision
of this chapter pursuant to the time frames identified in Section
2745.1(b).
(b) The CalARP program defines three program levels with different
levels of requirements depending upon the complexity, accident history,
and potential impact of releases of regulated substances.
(c) Program 1 eligibility requirements. A covered process is eligible
for Program 1 requirements as provided in Section 2735.5(d) if it meets
all of the following requirements:
(1) For the five years prior to the submission of an RMP, the process
has not had an accidental release of a regulated substance where exposure
to the substance, its reaction products, overpressure generated by an ex-
plosion involving the substance, or radiant heat generated by a fire in-
volving the substance has led to any of the following offsite conse-
quences:
(A) Death;
(B) Injury; or,
(C) Response or restoration activities for an exposure of an environ-
mental receptor;
(2) The distance to a toxic or flammable endpoint for a worst-case re-
lease assessment conducted under Article 4 of Section 2750.3 is less than
the distance to any public receptor, as defined in Section 2735.3 (nn) and
Section 2750.5; and,
(3) Emergency response procedures have been coordinated between
the stationary source and local emergency planning and response organi-
zations.
(d) Program 2 eligibility requirements. A covered process is subject
to Program 2 requirements if it does not meet the eligibility requirements
of either section (c) or (e).
(e) Program 3 eligibility requirements. A covered process is subject
to Program 3 if the process does not meet the requirements of section (c),
and if any of the following conditions apply:

management standards of Section 1910.1 19 of Title 29 of CFR or Section
5189ofTitle8ofCCR.
(3) The AA determines that the accident risk posed by the regulated
substance in a process above the threshold quantity as listed in Table 3
of Section 2770.5, because of the nature and quantity of the regulated
substance involved, requires the additional safety measures afforded by
Program 3 requirements, pursuant to section 25534 of HSC.
(f) If at any time a covered process no longer meets the eligibility crite-
ria of its Program level, the owner or operator shall comply with the re-
quirements of the new Program level that applies to the process and up-
date the RMP as provided in Section 2745.10.

analysis, the owner or operator shall use a wind speed of 1.5 meters per
second and F atmospheric stability class. If the owner or operator can
demonstrate that local meteorological data applicable to the stationary
source show a higher minimum wind speed or less stable atmosphere at
all times during the previous three years, these minimums may be used.
For analysis of alternative scenarios, the owner or operator may use the
typical meteorological conditions for the stationary source.
(c) Ambient temperature/humidity. For worst-case release analysis of
a regulated toxic substance, the owner or operator shall use the highest
daily maximum temperature in the previous three years and average hu-
midity for the site, based on temperature/humidity data gathered at the
stationary source or at a local meteorological station; an owner or opera-
tor using the RMP Offsite Consequence Analysis Guidance may use 25
degrees centigrade and 50 percent humidity as values for these variables.
For analysis of alternative scenarios, the owner or operator may use typi-
cal temperature/humidity data gathered at the stationary source or at a lo-
cal meteorological station.
(d) Height of release. The worst-case release of a regulated toxic sub-
stance shall be analyzed assuming a ground level (0 feet) release. For an
alternative scenario analysis of a regulated toxic substance, release
height may be determined by the release scenario.
(e) Surface roughness. The owner or operator shall use either urban
or rural topography, as appropriate. Urban means that there are many ob-
stacles in the immediate area; obstacles include buildings or trees. Rural
means there are no buildings in the immediate area and the terrain is gen-
erally flat and unobstructed.
(f) Dense or neutrally buoyant gases. The owner or operator shall en-
sure that tables or models used for dispersion analysis of regulated toxic
substances appropriately account for gas density.
(g) Temperature of released substance. For worst case, liquids other
than gases liquefied by refrigeration only shall be considered to be re-
leased at the highest daily maximum temperature, based on data for the
previous three years appropriate for the stationary source, or at process
temperature, whichever is higher. For alternative scenarios, substances
may be considered to be released at a process or ambient temperature that
is appropriate for the scenario.

§ 2750.3. Worst-Case Release Scenario Analysis.
(a) The owner or operator shall analyze and report in the RMP:
(1) For Program 1 processes, one worst-case release scenario includ-
ing an offsite consequence analysis, for each Program 1 process using the
offsite consequence analysis parameters in Section 2750.2;
(2) For Program 2 and 3 processes:
(A) One worst-case release scenario that is estimated to create the
greatest distance in any direction to an endpoint as defined in Section
2750.2(a) resulting from an accidental release of regulated toxic sub-
stances from covered processes under worst-case conditions defined in
Section 2750.2 (b) through (g);
(B) One worst-case release scenario that is estimated to create the
greatest distance in any direction to an endpoint defined in Section
2750.2(a) resulting from an accidental release of regulated flammable
substances from covered processes under worst-case conditions defined
in Section 2750.2; and,
(C) Additional worst-case release scenarios for a hazard class if a
worst-case release from another covered process at the stationary source
potentially affects public receptors different from those potentially af-
fected by the worst-case release scenario developed under sections
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B).
(b) Determination of worst-case release quantity. The worst-case re-
lease quantity shall be the greater of the following:
(1) For substances in a vessel, the greatest amount held in a single ves-
sel, taking into account administrative controls that limit the maximum
quantity; or
(2) For substances in pipes, the greatest amount in a pipe, taking into
account administrative controls that limit the maximum quantity.
(c) Worst-case release scenario — toxic gases.
(1) For regulated toxic substances that are normally gases at ambient
temperature and handled as a gas or as a liquid under pressure, the owner
or operator shall assume that the quantity in the vessel or pipe, as deter-
mined under section (b), is released as a gas over 10 minutes. The release
rate shall be assumed to be the total quantity divided by 10 unless passive
mitigation systems are in place.
(2) For regulated toxic gases handled as refrigerated liquids at ambient
pressure:
(A) If the released substance is not contained by passive mitigation
systems or if the contained pool would have a depth of 1 centimeter or
less, the owner or operator shall assume that the substance is released as
a gas in 10 minutes;
(B) If the released substance is contained by passive mitigation sys-
tems in a pool with a depth greater than 1 centimeter, the owner or opera-
tor may assume that the quantity in the vessel or pipe, as determined un-
der section (b), is spilled instantaneously to form a liquid pool. The
volatilization rate (release rate) shall be calculated at the boiling point of
the substance and at the conditions specified in section (d).
(d) Worst-case release scenario — toxic liquids.
(1) For regulated toxic substances that are normally liquids at ambient
temperature, the owner or operator shall assume that the quantity in the
vessel or pipe, as determined under section (b), is spilled instantaneously
to form a liquid pool.
(A) The surface area of the pool shall be determined by assuming that
the liquid spreads to 1 centimeter deep unless passive mitigation systems
are in place that serve to contain the spill and limit the surface area.
Where passive mitigation is in place, the surface area of the contained liq-
uid shall be used to calculate the volatilization rate.
(B) If the release would occur onto a surface that is not paved or
smooth, the owner or operator may take into account the actual surface
characteristics.
(2) The volatilization rate shall account for the highest daily maximum
temperature occurring in the past three years, the temperature of the sub-
stance in the vessel, and the concentration of the substance if the liquid
spilled is a mixture or solution.
(3) The rate of release to air shall be determined from the volatilization
rate of the liquid pool. The owner or operator may use the methodology
in the RMP Offsite Consequence Analysis Guidance or any other public-
ly available techniques that account for the modeling conditions and are
recognized by industry as appHcable as part of current practices. Propri-
etary models that account for the modeling conditions may be used pro-
vided the owner or operator allows the implementing agency access to
the model and describes model features and differences from publicly
available models to local emergency planners upon request.

Title 19
(e) Worst-case release scenario — flammable gases. The owner or op-
erator shall assume that the quantity of the substance, as determined un-
der section (b) and the provisions below, vaporizes resulting in a vapor
cloud explosion. A yield factor of 10 percent of the available energy re-
leased in the explosion shall be used to determine the distance to the ex-
plosion endpoint if the model used is based on TNT-equivalent methods.
(1) For regulated flammable substances that are normally gases at am-
bient temperature and handled as a gas or as a liquid under pressure, the
owner or operator shall assume that the quantity in the vessel or pipe, as
determined under section (b), is released as a gas over 10 minutes. The
total quantity shall be assumed to be involved in the vapor cloud explo-
sion.
(2) For flammable gases handled as refrigerated liquids at ambient
pressure:
(A) If the released substance is not contained by passive mitigation
systems or if the contained pool would have a depth of one centimeter or
less, the owner or operator shall assume that the total quantity of the sub-
stance is released as a gas in 10 minutes, and the total quantity will be in-
volved in the vapor cloud explosion.
(B) If the released substance is contained by passive mitigation sys-
tems in a pool with a depth greater than 1 centimeter, the owner or opera-
tor may assume that the quantity in the vessel or pipe, as determined un-
der section (b), is spilled instantaneously to form a liquid pool. The
volatilization rate (release rate) shall be calculated at the boiling point of
the substance and at the conditions specified in section (d). The owner or
operator shall assume that the quantity which becomes vapor in the first
10 minutes is involved in the vapor cloud explosion.
(0 Worst-case release scenario — flammable liquids. The owner or
operator shall assume that the quantity of the substance, as determined
under section (b) and the provisions below, vaporizes resulting in a vapor
cloud explosion. A yield factor of 10 percent of the available energy re-
leased in the explosion shall be used to determine the distance to the ex-
plosion endpoint if the model used is based on TNT equivalent methods.
(1) For regulated flammable substances that are normally liquids at
ambient temperature, the owner or operator shall assume that the entire
quantity in the vessel or pipe, as determined under section (b), is spilled
instantaneously to form a liquid pool. For liquids at temperatures below
their atmospheric boiling point, the volatilization rate shall be calculated
at the conditions specified in section (d).
(2) The owner or operator shall assume that the quantity which be-
comes vapor in the first 1 minutes is involved in the vapor cloud explo-
sion.
(g) Parameters to be applied. The owner or operator shall use the pa-
rameters defined in Section 2750.2 to determine distance to the end-
points. The owner or operator may use either the methodology provided
in the RMP Offsite Consequence Analysis Guidance or any commercial-
ly or publicly available air dispersion modeling techniques, provided the
techniques account for the specified modeling conditions and are recog-
nized by industry as applicable as part of current practices. Proprietary
models that account for the modeling conditions may be used provided
the owner or operator allows the AA access to the model and describes
model features and differences from publicly available models to local
emergency planners upon request.
(h) Consideration of passive mitigation. Passive mitigation systems
may be considered for the analysis of worst case provided that the mitiga-
tion system is capable of withstanding the release event triggering the
scenario and would still function as intended.
(i) Factors in selecting a worst-case scenario. Notwithstanding the
provisions of section (b), the owner or operator shall select as the worst
case for flammable regulated substances or the worst case for regulated
toxic substances, a scenario based on the following factors if such a sce-
nario would result in a greater distance to an endpoint defined in Section
2750.2(a) beyond the stationary source boundary than the scenario pro-
vided under section (b):
(1) Smaller quantities handled at higher process temperature or pres-
sure; and,
(2) Proximity to the boundary of the stationary source.
(j) Solids. In performing an offsite consequence analysis for solids
that are listed in Section 2770.5 Table 3, an owner or operator may use
a USEPA, California Air Resources Board, or OES approved model
which appropriately considers the dispersion and settling of particles.
For the worst case scenario, the owner or operator shall assume a one-
hour release and pursuant to Section 2750.2(b), use a wind speed of 1.5
meters per second and F atmospheric stability class.

§ 2770.2. Threshold Determination.
(a) A threshold quantity of a regulated substance is present at a station-
ary source ifthe total quantity ofa regulated substance contained in a pro-
cess exceeds the threshold listed in Section 2770.5.
(b) For the purpose of determining whether more than a threshold
quantity ofa regulated substance is present at the stationary source, the
following apply:
(1) Concentrations ofa regulated toxic substance in a mixture:
(A) A mixture of less than one percent by weight of a regulated toxic
substance need not be considered when determining whether more than
a threshold quantity is present at the stationary source. A mixture con-
taining a regulated toxic substance is regulated ifthe concentration of the
toxic substance present in the mixture is one percent or greater by weight.
The owner or operator of a stationary source shall only consider the
weight of the regulated substance in the mixture, not the entire weight of
the mixture.
(B) The owner or operator of a stationary source, when determining
whether more than a threshold quantity ofa regulated toxic substance in
a mixture is present at the stationary source, need not consider portions
of the process which can be demonstrated to have a partial pressure of the
regulated substance in the mixture (solution), under the handling or stor-
age conditions, which is less than 10 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
The owner or operator of the stationary source shall document any ex-
empted portions of processes where the partial pressure measurements
or estimates are less than 10 mm Hg.
(C) The exemption regarding 10 mm Hg of partial pressure in (B) does
not apply to:
(i) Regulated substances which are solids as noted in Section 2770.5,
Table 3;
(ii) Those regulated substances that failed the evaluation pursuant to
Section 25532(g)(2) of HSC as noted in Section 2770.5, Table 3; or,
(iii) Oleum, toluene 2,4-diisocyanate, toluene 2,6-diisocyanate and
toluene diisocyanate (unspecified isomer) as noted in Section 2770.5.
(2) Concentrations of a regulated flammable substance in a mixture.
A mixture of less than one percent by weight of a regulated flammable
substance need not be considered when determining whether more than
a threshold quantity is present at the stationary source. Except as pro-
vided in Sections (b)(2)(A) and (2)(B) of this section, ifthe concentration
of the substance in the mixture is one percent or greater by weight of the
mixture, then, for the purpose of determining whether a threshold quanti-
ty is present at the stationary source, the entire weight of the mixture shall
be treated as the regulated substance unless the owner or operator can
demonstrate that the mixture itself does not have a NFPA flammability
hazard rating of 4. The demonstration shall be in accordance with the
definition of flammability hazard rating 4 in the NFPA 704, Standard
System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency
Response, NFPA, Quincy, MA, 1996. (Available from the NFPA, 1 Bat-

This column identifies substances which may appear on Table 1 . Table 1 may have concentration limitations.
2 Substances that failed the evaluation pursuant to Section 25532(g)(2) of the HSC but remain listed pursuant to potential health impacts. The exemption in Section
2770.2(b)(1)(B) regarding portions of a process where these regulated substances are handled at partial pressures below 10 mm Hg does not apply to these substances.
3 These extremely hazardous substances are sohds. The lesser quantity listed applies only if in powdered form and with a particle size of less than 100 microns;
or if handled in solution or in molten form; or the substance has an NFPA rating for reactivity of 2, 3, or 4. Otherwise, a 10,000 pound threshold applies. The exemption
in Section 2770.2(b)(1)(B) regarding portions of a process where these regulated substances are handled at partial pressures below 10 mm Hg does not apply to these
substances.
4 These extremely hazardous substances are reactive solids. The exemption in Section 2770.2(b)(1)(B) regarding portions of a process where these regulated sub-
stances are handled at partial pressures below 10 mm Hg does not apply to these substances.
5 Appropriate synonyms or mixtures of extremely hazardous substances with the same CAS number are also regulated, e.g., formalin. The listing of anunonia in-
cludes anhydrous and aqueous forms of ammonia pursuant to Section 25532(g)(2).
6 Hydroquinone is exempt in crystalline form.
7 Sulfuric acid fails the evaluation pursuant to Section 25532(g)(2) of the HSC but remains listed as a Regulated Substance only under the following conditions:
a. If concentrated with greater than 100 pounds of sulfur trioxide or the acid meets the definition of oleum. (The Table 3 threshold for sulfur trioxide is 100
pounds.) (The Table 1 threshold for oleum is 10,000 pounds.)
b. If in a container with flammable hydrocarbons (flash point < 73° F).
8 The exemption in Section 2770.2(b)(1)(B) regarding portions of a process where these regulated substances are handled at partial pressures below 1 mm Hg does
not apply to these substances.

§ 2775.2. Audits.
(a) In addition to inspections for the purpose of regulatory develop-
ment and enforcement of the federal CAA, the AA shall periodically au-
dit RMPs submitted under Article 3 of this chapter to review the adequa-
cy of such RMPs and require revisions of RMPs when necessary to
ensure compliance with Article 3 of this chapter. To the extent possible,
any audit shall be fully coordinated with the Unified Program elements
at a stationary source.
(b) The AA shall select stationary sources for audits based on any of
the following criteria:
(1) Accident history of the stationary source;
(2) Accident history of other stationary sources in the same industry;
(3) Quantity of regulated substances present at the stationary source;
(4) Location of the stationary source and its proximity to the public and
environmental receptors;
(5) The presence of specific regulated substances;
(6) The hazards identified in the RMP; and,
(7) A plan providing for neutral, random oversight.
(c) Exemption from audits. A stationary source with a Star or Merit
ranking under OSHA's voluntary protection program shall be exempt
from audits under sections (b)(2) and (b)(7).
(d) In accordance with Section 25534.5 of HSC, the AA shall have ac-
cess to the stationary source, supporting documentation, and any area
where an accidental release could occur.
(e) Based on the audit, the AA may issue the owner or operator of a
stationary source a written preliminary determination of necessary revi-
sions to the stationary source's RMP to ensure that the RMP meets the
criteria of Article 3 of this chapter. The preliminary determination shall
include an explanation for the basis for the revisions, reflecting industry
standards and guidelines (such as AIChE/CCPS guidelines and ASME
and API standards) to the extent that such standards and guidelines are
applicable, and shall include a timetable for their implementation.
(t) Written response to a preliminary determination.
(1) The owner or operator shall respond in writing to a preliminary de-
termination made in accordance with section (e). The response shall state
that the owner or operator will implement the revisions contained in the
preliminary determination in accordance with the timetable included in
the preliminary determination or shall state that the owner or operator re-
jects the revisions in whole or in part. For each rejected revision, the
owner or operator shall explain the basis for rejecting such revision. Such
explanation may include substitute revisions.
(2) The written response under section (f)(1) shall be received by the
AA within 90 days of the issue of the preliminary determination or a
shorter period of time as the AA specifies in the preliminary determina-
tion as necessary to protect public health and the environment. Prior to
the written response being due and upon written request from the owner
or operator, the AA may provide in writing additional time for the re-
sponse to be received.
(g) After providing the owner or operator an opportunity to respond
under section (f), the AA may issue the owner or operator a written final
determination of necessary revisions to the stationary source's RMP.
The AA shall develop a time table for implementing these revisions in
consultation with the stationary source. The final determination may

chaser's contract. If there is any money left (i.e.; surplus), it will be paid
to the original purchaser. If the money from the sale is not enough to pay
off the contract and costs, the original purchaser must pay to the Office
what is still owed on the contract.

will not be allowed to finance another purchase through the Office for
five (5) calendar years from the date of repossession.

tained in Title 44, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 13, Sections
13.35 and 13.36, and Office of Management and Budget Circulars
(0MB) A-102 (Revised 10/7/94, As Further Amended 8/29/97) and
A-1 10 (Revised 1 1/19/93, As Further Amended 9/30/99). Funds with-
drawn by the federal government, due to non-compliance with the appli-
cable federal contracting and procurement requirements shall result in a
loss or reduction of state cost-sharing assistance. The state shall not pro-
vide additional funding to an applicant to substitute for federal funding
withdrawn as a result of noncompliance with federal regulations.
(2) Any work performed by a state agency, at the request of a local
agency, shall be agreed upon in writing and subject to the state Public
Contracts Code. Work perfonued by a local agency shall be subject to the
laws governing the performance of such work by the local agency and
any other applicable state or federal laws. Neither the state nor any officer
or employee thereof shall have any responsibility in connection with any
work performed by a local agency.

(b) Special Provisions for Reclamation and Levee Maintenance Dis-
tricts:
(1) AH work must be bid as required under applicable state or federal
laws or regulations or, including 44 CFR. part 13, whichever is the more
restrictive. Public Contracts Code, section 20924 requires that districts
seeking state or federal assistance comply with the procurement require-
ments of such state or federal program, if they are more restrictive than
the requirements of section 20920 et seq. If the district' s governing board
determines that a district is not required to competitively bid work, that
determination must be documented in writing with a full statement of the
reasons why bids are not required. The determination to bid or not bid
shall be approved by the district board prior to contracting, where possi-
ble. If such prior approval is not possible, the board must ratify the deci-
sion within 15 days after the decision is made.
(2) If the district's governing board determines that a sole source con-
tract is legally justified or that an emergency exists which justifies an ex-
emption, then the district shall utilize informal bids, or shall, at arm's
length, negotiate the best possible price. All contracts will be in writing,
approved by the district board, and supported by documentation justify-
ing the price and detailing the negotiations as required in 44 CFR, part
1 3. or other appropriate law or regulation. All contracts must clearly indi-
cate the specific work to be performed and the time and location of per-
formance of the work, and require the maintenance of adequate source
records for audit. Contracts must also provide separate unit prices for
emergency and non-emergency work, when the contract covers work
which will be done under both emergency and non-emergency condi-
tions.
(3) A written contract shall clearly define the responsibility and the
compensation of the engineer. The district's governing board must as-

ited to, such items as sticking barges, checking quantities of material and
labor, and maintaining adequate auditable records.
(4) In all contracts for work, services, or materials, the contractor must
maintain and retain for three years after notification of the start of the
retention period by the director, auditable source documents and records,
which shall be available for audit by federal or state auditors.
(5) Districts must maintain separate accounts for registered warrants
covering approved work and such other records and accounts as are nec-
essary to assure that all approved work is paid for prior to final reimburse-
ment from the state or FEMA.
(6) Districts will certify and provide OES with verification that none
of the costs reimbursed by the state under the Act or by FEMA have been
claimed or paid through any other state or federal program, including but
not limited to work performed under the Delta Levees Subvention Pro-
gram, Water Code sections 12980 et seq.

§ 2955. Public Buildings.
(a) General Ehgibility
Existing local agency buildings, except inactive or abandoned facih-
ties, maintained by an eligible applicant are eligible for state assistance
for permanent repair or replacement costs. This restriction does not apply
to facilities that are temporarily removed from service for repairs or
maintenance.
(b) Limitations of Eligibility
Permanent restoration or repair eligibility for a damaged or destroyed
public facility will be on the basis of design of such facility as it existed
immediately prior to the disaster, in conformity with current codes, spec-
ifications, and standards. The extent of reimbursement shall be con-
trolled by the facility's use and the function it performs for the communi-
ty. The following information is furnished for guidance:
(1 ) Damage to the exterior of a building shall be repaired with like ma-
terials unless less expensive material is available;
(2) Nonstructural and fixed equipment, such as floors, walls and ceil-
ings, doors and windows, and roofing, is eUgible for repair when dam-
aged;
(3) Mechanical and electrical equipment, heating systems, pluinbing
fixtures, and air conditioning systems are eligible for repair or replace-
ment to the extent of returning the facility to its predisaster condition. Air
conditioning will not be approved where it did not exist prior to the disas-
ter event, unless required by current codes, specifications, and standards;
(4) Fixed appliances, dishwashers, garbage disposals, water heaters,
light fixtures, and sump pumps plumbed into the structure are considered
as a part of the staicture and if damaged or destroyed are eligible for re-
pair or replacement;
(5) Electrical wiring, plumbing and utilities, if damaged as a result of
the disaster, shall be repaired to conform to local codes;
(6) Replacement of a building may be eligible when a determination
has been reached that it would not be economically or technically feasible
to make repairs. A suitable replacement structure equal in functional re-
quirements to the facility damaged or destroyed, conforming to current
codes, specifications, and standards, may be authorized. In such in-
stances, adequate justification will be detailed in the state DSR (OES 90,
Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference), including comparable cost esti-
mates. The inspector shall ascertain if the entire destroyed facility was
being utilized by the applicant prior to the disaster and make appropriate
comments on the state DSR (OES 90, Rev. 1/03, incorporated by refer-
ence). Functional requirements for the new structure shall take prece-
dence over any design factors;
(7) The state cost estimate for the replacement facility will be based
on the floor area of the original building, except in those instances where
local codes require a specific footage or area per person; and then only
to the extent of the capacity originally intended in the original structure;
(8) Relocation from the original site may, in some instances, be more
advantageous and economical. In such cases, the acquisition costs of
land, easements or rights-of-way is the responsibility of the local
agency; and,
(9) Increased capacity and added operating features are betterments
and will be borne by the local agency. Construction materials shall be
those types required consistent with the location, usage, and function of
the replacement. Long-term maintenance expenses are not considered a
controlling factor.

§ 2970. Application Process.
(a) Basic Procedures."
( 1 ) To be eligible for assistance under the Act. a city , county or city and
county must proclaim a local emergency within ten (10) days of the ac-
tual occurrence of a disaster and the proclamation must be acceptable to
the director, or the Governor must make a State of Emergency Proclama-
tion. When a county has proclaimed a local emergency based upon condi-
tions which include both incorporated and unincorporated territory of the
county, it is not necessary for the cities to also proclaim the existence of
a local emergency independently;
(2) The city, county or city and county shall provide the director writ-
ten notification of a proclamation of local emergency and request for a
director's concurrence or State of Emergency proclamation within ten
(10) days of the actual occurrence of a disaster. Upon receipt of the city,
county or city and county's notification, the director shall issue either (A)
approval or denial of the director's concurrence or recommendation that
the Governor proclaim a state of emergency, or (B) written notification
to the affected city, county or city and county indicating the approximate
timeframe for rendering a recommendation. A Preliminary Damage As-
sessment (PDA) may be scheduled with the affected local agency to ob-
tain additional information. If it is determined that state assistance will
be provided, the affected local agency will be notified by the director of
such assistance as well as the application procedures;
(3) The director, or his/her designee, shall notify the affected city,
county or city and county of the incident period beginning and end dates;
(4) A local agency must submit a Project Apphcation (OES 126, Rev.
1/03, incorporated by reference) to OES within sixty (60) days after the
date of a local proclamation. The director or his/her designee may extend
this deadline only for unusual or extraordinary circumstances. When fil-
ing an application for assistance, an applicant must attach a List of Proj-
ects (OES 95, Rev. 7/01, incorporated by reference). Formats other than
the OES 95 may be substituted if they contain the required information.
Prior to application approval by the state, an applicant shall also submit
or have on file a resolution designating an authorized representative. In
the event of a federal declaration of a major disaster or emergency, the
submittal of a federal Request for Public Assistance (FEMA 90^9, Rev.
9/98, incoiporated by reference) within the specified federal application
period, will meet the state application requirement;
(5) After receipt of the apphcation and a hst of projects, OES will, if
necessary, schedule an on-site review of all submitted items, which will
be singly detailed on separate DSRs (OES 90s, Rev. 1/03, incorporated
by reference). Under normal circumstances, the state will complete
DSRs (OES 90s, Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference) with cost esti-
mates for an applicant agency within sixty (60) days from the date of the
local agency application. When a public facility, damaged in a prior di-
saster event, has not been completely repaired or restored at the time of
a subsequent disaster event, the total damage and scope of work for both
disasters, excluding the prior disaster work already completed, will be
detailed on a DSR. In addition, a separate DSR will be prepared to
deobligate any unexpended funds previously provided for the incom-
plete portion of work;
(6) Upon approval of eligible costs, OES will send copies of the state
DSRs (OES 90s, Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference) and a computer-
ized summary of all approved costs to the applicant's authorized repre-
sentative for review and approval. OES will send the completed applica-
tion to the applicant's designated authorized representative for review
and approval with an Applicant Approval Form (CDAA Form 3a, Rev.
1/03, incorporated by reference);
(7) Upon receipt of an Applicant Approval Form (CDAA Form 3a,
Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference), OES will process an allocation for
the state share of approved costs through the State Controller's Office.

§2970
BARCLAYS CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS
Title 19
An authorized representative's signature on the approval form allows the
state to process an allocation of funds. An apphcant does not forfeit the
right to a fair hearing or an appeal, by signing the Applicant Approval
Form;
(8) If the Governor proclaims a state of emergency or a catastrophic
failure due to excessive damage to Federal Aid System (FAS) Roads, the
Governor may request emergency funds pursuant to section 125 of title
23 of the U.S. Codes. Upon concurrence of a natural disaster or cata-
strophic failure by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). an
Emergency Relief (ER) program will be administered by the California
Department of Transportation (CALTRANS);
(9) All projects in the local agency application under the Act on FAS
roads, which are to be financed in whole or in part from federal ER funds
under an approved ER program, shall be transferred to and administered
by CALTRANS in accordance with FHWA policy and procedures unless
retained and administered by OES. A separate local agency-CAL
TRANS state agreement will be entered into covering those ER projects
that are transferred;
(10) CALTRANS, by agreement with OES, will be given authority to
work directly with local agencies on projects that are transferred when
ER funds are involved. CALTRANS will remit to the local agencies any
and all amounts due them from the share of costs assessable against fed-
eral ER funds; and,
(11) When all work is satisfactorily completed and the agreement is
administratively closed, CALTRANS will provide all final documenta-
tion and the closing date of the agreement to OES. This will allow OES
and CALTRANS to make a final settlement with local agencies on the
approved and accepted projects relating to FAS routes, non-FAS routes
and other public facilities restored or replaced under the Act.
(b) Special Procedures for School Districts:
(1) Upon implementation of the Act, OES will notify the Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction of the availability of state financial assistance,
providing copies of eligibility guidelines and instructions and forms, for
distribution to affected school districts;
(2) An affected school district must submit a Project Application (OES
126, Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference) , to the Superintendent, within
sixty (60) days from the date of the local proclamation. The director, or
his/her designee, may extend this deadline only for unusual circum-
stances. When filing an application for assistance, an applicant must at-
tach a separate List of Projects (OES 95, Rev. 7/01, incorporated by refer-
ence) for each affected school within the district. Formats other than the
OES 95 may be substituted if they contain the required information. Prior
to funding authorization, an applicant school district must also submit or
have on file a resolution designating an authorized representative;
(3) After the review and approval of the apphcation for assistance, the
Superintendent will forward the original Project Application (OES 126,
Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference), list of projects, and any other sup-
porting documentation to the director for processing by OES;
(4) After receipt of the application and a list of projects, OES will, if
necessary, schedule an on-site review of all submitted items, which will
be singly detailed on separate DSRs (OES 90s, Rev. 1/03, incorporated
by reference). Under normal circumstances, the state will complete
DSRs (OES 90s, Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference) with cost esti-
mates for an applicant agency within sixty (60) days from the date of the
local agency application;
(5) The completed application will also include a computerized sum-
mary of all approved costs by Une item. OES will send the completed
application to the applicant's designated authorized representative for re-
view and approval with an Applicant Approval Form (CDAA Form 3a,
Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference);
(6) Upon receipt of an Applicant Approval Form (CDAA Form 3a,
Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference), OES will process an allocation for
the state share of approved costs through the State Controller's Office.
An authorized representative's signature on the approval form allows the
state to process an allocation of funds. An applicant does not forfeit the
right to a fair hearing or an appeal, by signing an Applicant Approval
Form (CDAA Form 3a, Rev. 1/03, incorporated by reference); and,
(7) Funds paid against approved claims will be disbursed to the appro-
priate County Office of Education. All school district applicants are re-
quired to comply with the provisions of the U.S. Department of Educa-
tion, when federal school disaster assistance programs are implemented
in accordance with Public Laws 81-815 and 81-874.
(c) Time Limitations for Work Completion:
( 1) In the event of a director's concurrence with a local proclamation
or a state of emergency proclamation involving no federal assistance, the
deadlines shown below are set from the date of the local proclamation
and apply to all projects. AppUcants receiving federal major disaster or
emergency assistance are expected to comply with federal regulations,
which establish deadlines according to the date that a major disaster or
emergency is declared;
(2) Completion deadlines:
TYPE MONTHS
Debris clearance
Emergency work
Permanent work
(3) The director may impose less stringent deadlines for work comple-
tion, if considered appropriate; or
(4) The director may extend work completion deadlines for extenuat-
ing circumstances or unusual project requirements beyond the control of
an applicant. Requests for time extensions, with appropriatejustification,
shall be submitted by an applicant as soon as it becomes apparent that the
applicable deadline cannot be met.
(d) Supplements:
(1) During the performance of approved work, an applicant may dis-
cover that actual project costs exceed the approved DSR estimate. A sup-
plement should be requested:
(A) When there is a change in the scope or method of performing ap-
proved work; or,
(B) When it is discovered that there is a substantial cost overrun to per-
form approved work.
(2) An applicant may submit a supplement request for a substantial
cost overrun, in letter form, to OES in a timely manner and, whenever
possible, prior to the completion of the work in question. The request
shall contain sufficient documentation to support the eligibility of all
claimed work and costs. However, cost overruns may also be addressed
at the time of Final Inspection;
(3) Requests for a change in project scope must be filed, in writing,
prior to work commencement and shall contain sufficient documentation
to support the eligibility of all additional proposed work and costs; and,
(4) OES shall formally notify the applicant of the determination. Ap-
proved supplements are processed in the same manner described above
for a project application.
(e) State Share:
For any eligible project, the state share shall amount to no more than
75 percent of the total state eligible costs unless the local match is waived
by either the director in accordance with section 8687.2 of the Govern-
ment Code or by amendment to the Code. The state shall make no alloca-
tion for any project application resulting in a state share of less than two-
thousand five-hundred dollars ($2,500). This provision shall not apply
to those project applications which result in a state share of $2,500 or
greater and are subsequently reduced.
(f) Advances:
(1) Funds may be advanced for up to ninety percent (90%) of an appli-
cant's approved allocation. Requests for advances should be made using
a Request for Advance of Funds (CDAA Form 3a, Rev. 1/03, incorpo-
rated by reference). No request for an advance will be processed prior to
OES's receipt of a resolution designating an authorized representative.
Advances shall be provided to applicants in order to meet current obliga-
tions and anticipated expenditures for a ninety (90) day period. The state
reserves the right to request documentation justifying large advances.

§2980
(2) As a requirement of this program, an applicant must establish a spe-
cial fund or account for the deposit of any state funds received. Under no
circumstances should expenditures be made from this fund/account for
non-approved disaster related items. Furthermore, all expenditures
drawn on this account must be applied toward damages sustained from
the specified disaster for which funds were advanced. Any interest
earned from state funds is the property of the state and must be refunded.
(g) Loans and Deferred Payments:
(1) The director may loan money to a local agency, if in the director's
opinion, the local agency is currently unable to meet its financial obliga-
tions under the Act.
(2) Money may be loaned to a local agency for purposes of ensuring
that the local agency is able to meet its local share matching require-
ments; for the repair or replacement of a public facility, or, for any other
purpose which the director considers a loan of money, necessary and ap-
propriate.
(3) The loan agreement executed between the director and the local
agency must comply with the State Contract Act and will provide for re-
payment of the principle and interest within ten years from the date of ex-
ecution of the agreement. Interest will be estimated at an amount equal
to the revenue which the state would have derived by investing the total
loan amount, at the interest rate prevailing for legal state investments, on
the date the loan is made.

tor of OES' Disaster Assistance Division's or his/her designee's decision
is unacceptable, attaching to it the local agency's original statement of
the dispute with supporting documents, together with a copy of the

nee' s response. This letter shall be sent to the director of OES within sixty
(60) working days from receipt of the deputy director of OES' Disaster
