     In accordance with the [EPA/RMP]  regulations, this is the documented management system for  
[CHLORINE] Program Three (3) process with a clear delineation of overall [Consumers Illinois Water Company] [DANVILLE W.T.P. ] Management responsibility for the program implementation and lines of responsibility. 
 
For all perssonnel assigned responsibility for individual requirements, this plan identifies the person responsible and is made up of four (4) areas identified as the  [ Management Systyem, Hazard Assessment, Prevention Program and the Emergency Response Program].

*HAZARD ASSESSMENT 
 
     *The Hazard Assessment for  [Danville W.T.P. ] located at [1300 West Fairchild Street ] was prepared  
      by [CH2MHI 
LL] to determine the effects of a accidental [CHLORINE] release and is made up of a  
      [WORST CASE SCENARIO] and [ALTERNATIVE CASE SCENARIO] for a [CHLORINE GAS ONE (1) 
      TON CYLINDER] 
 
     *Using USEPA approved Dense Gas Release Model perfprmed the worst case scenario [DEGADIS] 
       Breeze Haz [DEGADIS+2] 
 
     *The modeling for [CHLORINE simulates only one set of specified meteorological conditions and is not  
       considered applicable over a period longer than one (1) or two (2) hours. 
 
     *[TOXIC END POINT] 
        Is defined as the maximum airborne concentrations below which a Individuals could be exposed for    
        up to one (1) hour without experiencing or developing Irreversible or other serious health effects, 
        or symptoms that could impair an individual's ability to take protective action. 
 
     *[SOURCE PARAMETERS] 
        Four (4) source parameters are required as input to [DEGADS+]
