C. Natur al Gas Leak4

Natural Gas is a colorless, tasteless, odorless and non-toxic substance. The “rotten odor ” smell is added tomake it easier to recognize a leak.

Natural Gas can not burn by itself; it must be mixed with air and have an ignition source like a pilot light or anelectric arc. If the gas does ignite let it burn because burning gas will not explode.

Natural Gas is NOT a liquid petroleum gas such as propane. Liquid petroleum gases are heavier than air andtherefore settle near the ground and in low places. Natural Gas however is lighter than air so it rises.

If you think you have a natural gas emergency, go to a safe location and call the REO Town Control Room.

Knowing how to recognize, react to and report natural gas emergencies can eliminate or minimize theirconsequences.

1. Recognize

Signs of a natural gas leak include:

o A "rotten egg" odor

o A blowing or hissing sound

3Such as the BWL Safety Manual Sections 105 Fire Control & Prevention, 106 Emergency Plan and 119 Adverse Weather Conditions

Michigan Occupational Safety and Health (MIOSHA) Standard 1107, Part 6, Fire Exits; and MIOSHA Standard 1314, Part 18, FireProtection and Prevention.

4From the Consumers Energy website Gas Leaks and Safety Tips and modified for BWL




o Dead or discolored vegetation in an otherwise green area

o Flames, if a leak has ignited

o Dirt or dust blowing from a hole in the ground

o Bubbling in wet or flooded areas

2. React

If you suspect a natural gas leak, follow these steps

o Go to a safe location and call the REO Town Control Room, and follow the instructions given.

o Do not use any electrical device, such as light switches, telephones or appliances such asgarage door openers. They could spark and ignite the gas.

o Do not use an open flame, matches or lighters

o Do not try to locate the source of the leak

o Do not try to shut off any gas valves or appliances

o Do not start vehicles

o If the natural gas ignites, let it burn. Do not put out the flame; burning gas will not explode.

3. Report

It is important that natural gas emergencies are reported.

o If you think there is a natural gas emergency go to a safe location and call the REO TownControl Room.

o If you see any unusual activity near the natural gas pipeline or facility, and call the REO TownControl Room.

Calls can be made 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

D. Bomb Thr eat

The person receiving the call or threat should be alert so that they can carefully and accurately remember what

the caller said and to answer the following questions:

1. What time was the threat received?

2. When is the bomb going to explode?

3. What does it look like?

4. What kind of bomb is it?




5. What will cause it to explode?

6. Has the bomb been placed? Where?

7. Where is the caller calling from?

8. Male or female voice?

9. Anything unusual about the caller ’s voice or choice of words?

10. Did you recognize the voice?

11. Is there any unusual background noises (machinery, vehicles, music, street noise, etc.)?

12. If a threat is made by letter or document, handle carefully to preserve fingerprints.

The person receiving the call should contact the following:

1. 911(4-911 on BWL VoIP line) – to get the proper authorities en route as quickly as possible.

2. Employee-in-Charge. The Employee-in-Charge will make the following notifications:

o Security Coordinator

o Department Manager

o Assistant General Manager

o Any available Executive Director or Director

o Human Resources

If evacuation is ordered by either local law enforcement or any of the individuals above, please follow theevacuation procedures for your specific facility.

No Attempt Should Be Made By The BWL Employee To Locate The Bomb.




7: Inclement Weather Conditions

The purpose of this Section is to describe the actions to be taken during inclement weather situations andprovide some basic guidelines for determining employee exposure while working in the immediate vicinity ofinclement weather (except during emergency restoration procedures). The Employee-in-Charge shalldetermine weather conditions by referencing the following information.

Inclement Weather Conditions (per MIOSHA) – Thunderstorms, high winds, snowstorms, ice storms or anyother weather situation that has the potential to make work hazardous.

NOTE: Work shall be discontinued/altered at any time when adverse weather conditions make workhazardous

Employees should take extra care to assist any disabled employee, and to instruct contractors,vendors, customers and other guests within the area that are unaware of the procedures for thatfacility.

A. Gener al

1. When major life threatening weather or a natural disaster is approaching the BWL service territory,appropriate alarms and sirens should be activated. The National Weather Service5 will also broadcastan alert. When BESOC is notified, they will provide radio communication to field crews to take shelter.

The Employee-in-Charge shall make the determination whether adverse weather conditions have thepotential to make field or outdoor work hazardous6.

2. All departments are required to create and regularly review/update department specific plans forevacuation and inclement weather. The plans shall include, but are not limited to:

o Department maps which illustrate evacuation routes with meeting areas and ”Take Shelter ”

areas

o The identification of the Incident Commander and the alternate

3. Occupants of BWL buildings shall be given instructions on building evacuation and inclement weatherprocedures.

o The Employee-in-Charge shall instruct employees on area evacuation and inclement weatherprocedures.

o Building or area evacuation and inclement weather procedures shall be reviewed with newemployees at their initial departmental orientation and periodically.

o Building or area evacuation and inclement weather procedures shall be posted.

Periodic drills shall be held in each BWL department or area for fire, adverse weather conditions and/or otheremergency response actions.

B. Tornado or Ma jor Stor m

1. If an employee sees an approaching funnel cloud, they should call BESOC immediately so theappropriate individuals can be notified3.

2. If the employee is in a BWL facility, some means of alerting all the facility employees should also betaken immediately3.

3. Outdoor or field work shall be discontinued or altered in the presence of adverse weather conditions,except in the case of emergency restoration3.

o Employees exposed to adverse weather conditions in a shelter area should try and maintaincommunications with the Employee-in-Charge and with BESOC to update their situationperiodically.

o

Employees should go to identified shelter area as soon as possible.

• BWL Facilities –

Shelter areas may change, and specific instructions and maps for your facility should befollowed.

7BWL Safety Manual Section 119 Adverse Weather Conditions




• Electric Substations –

It is strongly recommended that you do not take shelter in an electric substation orsubstation yard, especially for most storm/tornado conditions. You should leave thesubstation and/or yard immediately, and either take shelter at the lowest point possible(away from transmission and distribution electric lines), or get into your vehicle and driveto the nearest shelter; or drive away from the tornado’s path.

• Field Personnel –

NOTE: BESOC will make every attempt to notify field crews of approaching severeweather.

Additionally, BESOC is not responsible for the declaration or the “all clear notification” ofa severe weather alert.

• If you are caught outdoors, seek shelter in a basement, shelter or sturdy building.The safest place to be is underground.

• If no underground shelter or safe room is available, a small, windowless interiorroom or hallway on the lowest level of a sturdy building is the safest alternative.

• Construction trailers (mobile offices, office trailers or mobile homes) are not safeduring tornadoes or other severe winds.

• If you cannot quickly walk to a shelter immediately get into a vehicle, buckle yourseat belt and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter.

o If flying debris occurs while you are driving, pull over and park. Now youhave the following options as a last resort:

• Stay in the car with the seat belt on. Put your head down belowthe windows, covering with your hands and a blanket if possible;

• If you can safely get noticeably lower than the level of theroadway, exit your car and lie in that area, covering your head withyour hands;

• Your choice should be driven by your specific circumstances.




C. Flooding8

Periodic updates on flood water conditions should be issued to the heads of the potentially affected BWLDepartments. Refer to the EMERGENCY RESPONSE CALL LIST. These updates should come fromdesignated Flood Emergency Response Plan Experts in the areas affected. It is possible that the extent of the

flooding will be sufficient to cause the Lansing Emergency Operations Center 9 to be activated.

Buildings located within the floodplain should be marked with elevation markings and checked periodically todetermine if and when they may become impacted. Several facilities have Site specific Flood EmergencyResponse Plans which identify when and what actions to be taken. Some examples of these actions include:

1. Move Equipment to higher ground

2. Fill and place sand bags

3. Make arrangements for alternative fuel supplies

4. Contacting BESOC or other qualified personnel to assist in de-energizing equipment and areas

Contact your Supervisor to see if your facility has a Flood Emergency Response Plan.

The following conditions will warrant the facilities in the table below to be watched closely for possible flooding:

1. Red Cedar Monitoring Station reaches 830.00', (1.39' below stage).

2. Sycamore Creek Bridge Gauge reads 820.00'.

3. Moores Park Dam Tailwater reads 821.00'.

4. North Lansing Dam Headwater reads 820.00'.
