Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department's Emergency Response Plan required by the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The Area Plan describes the jurisdiction's plan for the prevention of, preparation for, and response to hazardous materials incidents and threatened incidents. In addition, and more importantly, the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department is the primary and first emergency responder for the control of hazardous materials incidents in the cities of Pleasanton and Livermore. Therefore, it is critical that the Fire Department have a comprehensive plan for minimizing the likelihood of hazardous materials emergencies, and preparing for and responding to such events when they do occur. The Plan describes the hazardous materials present in the community, and how the Fire Department plans, trains, equips, and responds to hazardous materials emergencies. The Fire Department provides copies of the Plan to specified Fire Department staff, each fire station, the Livermore and Pleasanton emergency operation centers, the dispatch center, and the State Office of Emergency Services. Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan The Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan also governs hazardous waste programs in Pleasanton. The purpose of the Alameda County Hazardous Waste Management Plan is to forecast the potential future waste generation in the County, to encourage an aggressive waste reduction strategy, and to establish acceptable siting criteria. Household hazardous waste drop off is available three days each month through Alameda County at a location in Livermore near Vasco Road. AVIATION HAZARDS Airports Although not located within the Pleasanton Planning Area boundary, the Livermore Municipal Airport affects land uses in Pleasanton in the form of noise, safety, and air quality. Noise and safety concerns are addressed by the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) in the Airport Land Use Pofiry Plan of 1986, and the City of Livermore's adopted Airport Protection Area (1993). The development of the Airport and phasing of improvements is addressed in the Livermore Municipal Airport Master Plan (adopted December 1975). In March 2004, the City of Livermore released a Public Review Draft Master Plan Update which outlined plans for airport expansion, including additional hangar space, office space, expansion of services serving aviation uses, and creation of a southern parallel taxiway. Due to considerable public opposition from residential neighbors in Pleasanton and Livermore, the City of Livermore withdrew the draft pending the completion of noise studies and the implementation of noise reduction measures. The Airport Land Use Poliry Plan delineates several boundaries, parts of which are located within Pleasanton's Planning Area. All the following are illustrated on Figure V-I O. The General Referral Area is the area which is now or could in the future be affected by airport operations. This area is also referred to as the "airport influence area." Proposed projects within this area must also be referred to Public Safety 082906, dean V-25 City Cooncil8/29/2006
