§ 650.97   Air pollution emergency episode plans.

(a) Army installations or activities located in areas susceptible to air pollution episodes (smog conditions) will cooperate with local authorities in reducing air emissions during such emergency periods. Specific contingency plans are to be developed and coordinated with the local air pollution emergency episode plans to provide for:

(1) The curtailment of all but essential services;

(2) To provide for required mission activities;

(3) Announcement of notification procedures; and

(4) Instructions on those control measures to be invoked during the various phases of such episodes. The following control measures are to be considered in such contingency plans:

(i) Restrict use of private automobiles by requiring carpools or use of mass transit facilities.

(ii) Conduct an educational program on the hazards of air pollution episodes.

(iii) Publicize episode warnings and notification procedures.

(iv) Postpone all except mission-essential activities which produce air emissions; (e.g., vehicle use, operation of incinerators, etc.).

(v) Grant personnel administrative leave, but only as a last resort. This action will be coordinated with other DOD and Federal installations in the affected area.

(b) The shutdown or reduction of activities should be well coordinated with all installation personnel. The plan will be implemented on a test basis upon completion and should be reviewed and tested on a biannual basis thereafter.

(c) Government assets provided a contractor managing a Government-owned facility, are subject to the same use restrictions during an air pollution emergency episode as those imposed on a contractor by a State on the use of his private assets.
