Price County emergency management reports hazardous spills, seeks EPCRA grant funds and outlines Integrated Preparedness Plan
Summary
Emergency Management reported hazardous-spill records on file, said the 2025 EPCRA equipment grant is preliminarily $9,301.14 (up to a $10,000 maximum), is awaiting the 2026 EPCRA planning grant decision, and announced an IPP survey to gather hazard mitigation input.
Price County Emergency Management reported a thorough hazardous-spills record that will be maintained on file, updated committee members on EPCRA grant activity, and introduced the Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) at the Jan. 21 LEPC meeting.
Staff told the committee the 2025 EPCRA Computer and Hazardous Response Equipment grant will be completed at the end of the month with a preliminary award amount of $9,301.14 and that the grant maximum is $10,000. The 2026 EPCRA Planning and Administration grant has been applied for and is pending review; Emergency Management noted the 2025 EPCRA allocation for LEPC purposes had been budgeted at $8,000 to support projects, conferences and travel. Committee members were invited to suggest equipment or technology purchases for EPCRA funding.
The Integrated Preparedness Plan (IPP) was described as an all-hazards planning framework that incorporates multiple community levels. Staff solicited members’ input by asking what hazards the committee had encountered and said a survey would be sent to gather further detail; committee discussion included a brief example about containing gasoline leaks at a station as a mitigation point. The minutes record no vote or formal action on project implementation; staff said they are awaiting grant review results and will report back when awards are confirmed.
