Chemical Spill at 12971 Newport Avenue, 8/9/81
At the August 17 meeting of the Tustin City Council, several
comments were made regarding the report which I prepared on August
11, 1981, concerning this action. Several of the Councilmen
expressed a desire for a "white paper" dealing with the spill in
greater detail than was taken up in that report. A copy of the
August 11 report is attached and should be considered as
incorporated in this report. In this report we will attempt to
analyse in as great a detail as practical, the various problems
raised by the spill and items of potential Council interest.
CAUSE OF SPILL
The analysis by the Orange County Sheriff's Office Crime Lab has
shown that the cause of the spill was the improper use of a metal
connector nipple between the two portions of the valve. This
metal was corroded by the acid and eaten through, causing the
spill. Inspection would not have revealed the problem since the
entire connector nipple was wrapped in "joint tape"; therefore an
inspector would be unable to tell that the nipple was ferrous.
metal instead of acid resistive PVC pipe. Despite this negligence
on the part of Mr. Etzold, the Hartford Insurance Company has paid
out to date some $80,000 in claims, based on an "accidental
spill." This information was obtained from Mr. Herrera, the
representative for Hartford Insurance. It would be an appropriate
question for the City Attorney as to whether the negligent
installation of a metal connector pipe in an acid container system
exposed the Fricker Company to any liability for the City's cost
in providing emergency response.
COST OF RESPONSE
In estimating the cost of the response by the City, only those
additional costs were considered. In other words, there was no
cost figure given for on-duty Police Officers as they would have
been on duty ~u any event. The cost is broken down in the
following four areas:
1. Overtime:
69.75 hours of overtime were credited to
Police Department employees for the acid
spill. However, a quick check by staff
indicates that this is approximately 1/3 to
./

8/31/81
Newport Avenue, 8/9/81
2. Flares:
3. Mutual
Aid:
4. Food:
1/4 of the actual overtime hours put in by
employees~ The high morale and dedication of
the employees was such that although they were
told to turn in all overtime, in many cases
they did not, or only turned in a partial
request for the actual hours they spent on the
scene of the disaster. ~he expense for the
time turned in will be $1,172.20. This, of
course, will come from previously budgeted
overtime accounts in the Police Department's
Budget.
The use of flares was quite heavy with
approximately 25 gross of flares being
expended during the 12-hour duration of the
problem. At $46.50 a gross, the cost to
replace those flares is $1,162.50.
initially, there was some consideration by
some of the mutual aid agencies that they
might attempt to bill the City of Tustin for
the mutual aid response, however after
consideration of that position and the
ramifications of it, and after discussions
with staff officers of the Tustin Police
Depatment, those agencies which were
considering such a move have decided against
it. Unless there is.a reversal of those
feelings or some other agency decides to bill,
there will be no bills received for the police
mutual aid received. Therefore, this is a no
cost factor.
The local McDonald's Restaurant, operated by
Mr. Shuster, provided a large quantity of food
for the emergency response personnel. It is
estimated that the cost of this should have
been in the neighborhood of $200 to $300,
however Mr. Shuster has declined to bill the
Police Department or the City for the food.
would recommend that the City Finance
Department contact Mr. Shuster and see if
perhaps a letter of thanks for his donation
would be beneficial to his tax preparer for
this fiscal year. Through the generosity of
Mr. Shuster, this becomes a no cost item.

Thus, the actual funds expended in the response will be less than
$2,500. The potential was, of course, for a far greater expense.
ITEMS OF INTEREST
As was mentioned in the report of August 11, several items of
interest came up which we needed to study andlearn from. As a
result of that, and subsequent debriefing sessions, even more
items have been identified and Police Department planning
continues. Currently, I have assigned Sgt. Wilcox to develop the
emergency response plan for the Department, specifically dealing
with hazardous substances.
Things in Progress at chis Time
1. Roll Call Training: We are currently taking advantage of
those officers who have had some training in th~ handllng of toxic
substance spills and are putting together a Roll Call Training
Program so that all officers wi.Il have some training in this
area. This is primarily being prepared by Officer Goodavish with
the assistance of the Training Section of the Department.
Additionally, advanced training for all managers and supervisors
is being arranged. The Operations Division Commander will be
attending the California Specialized Training Institute Hazardous
Haterials Course, September 21 through September 25 of this year
and other supervisors and managers will follow him to that school.
1. Haps: Large scale maps are being obtained and prepared for
the Field Supervisor's Unit and they are being broken down so that
a large number of sectional maps can be duplicated and held ready
Co distribute to mutual aid units in the event of some future
disaster. One of the problems encountered was. that officer~ from
mutual aid agencies did not know the City of Tustin and therefore
needed maps to find their way Co their assigned post and to
understand the area being discussed.
3. Resource List: As a part of his project, Sgt. Wilcox is
preparing a resource list which will be available to all
supervisors so Chat we will know where specific items are located
and how to obtain them if they are needed. In Chis particular
spill, the necessary heavy equipment happened to be adjacent to
the command post. However, many times a skiploader, bulldozer,
crane, or ocher piece of equipment is not readily available. An
additional benefit in this incident was that a fireman on the
scene was a qualified heavy equipment operator, familiar with the
piece of equipment which was commandeered. The resource list will
provide us with a list of contractors in the area and their heavy
equipment, qualified operators, suppliers for special equipment

S/31/gl
(for example, sandbags and sand in the case of flooding) and items
of this type.
4. Up-to-date Rosters of all police personnel are being placed in
the Field Supervisor's Unit so that in the event of a future
disaster, recall of off-duty personnel can be more easily
facilitated.
Items to be Done in the Immediate Future
These items are items which must be purchased or arranged for, but
are available within the current budget constraints of this fiscal
year's budget.
1. Two blackboards with easels will be purchased with a supply of
chalk so that they may be used at the scene of any future
disasters. The first will be used to provide information to the
public and the press and will list the nature of the incident, the
number of personnel involved in an evacuation area, the evacuation
center, etc. The Orange County Fire Department had such a
blackboard and many persons who approached the command post
satisfied all their information needs by simply referring to that
blackboard. Had the Fire Department not been present with their
blackboard, we would have felt a severe hindrance of command post
operations without'it. The second blackboard will be used to
detail out the status of all personnel and the incident for
instant ready reference by the incident commander and his staff.
In this incident, a Clerk was used to take notes of all
activities, however much time was lost in her sorting through her
notes to find specific assignments of personnel, locations of
positions, etc.
2. Rope off Tape: Additional rope off tape will be purchased
both to replace that which was expended at the scene and to
provide a-larger supply for scenes of greater magnitude. This is
a relatively inexpensive item but is invaluable in crowd control,
both at the scene of an incident and at the command post
operations.
3. Coolers: We will purchase two or three large Igloo type
coolers which can be filled with water or other appropriate
beverages and taken to the scene of an incident of this type.
Particularly during the summer months, dehydration becomes a
problem and it is absolutely essential that an adequate supply of
appropriate fluids be present at the command post so that officers
may refresh themselves.
Page 5
Chemical Spill at 12971 Newport Avenue, 8/9/81
8/31/81
4. Pre-planned Items: As a part of the overall plan which Sgt.
Wilcox will be developing, pre-arrangements will be made for
feeding, refreshments and sanitary facilities in any future
disaster. In the particular case at hand, the McDonald's was
extremely cooperative in providing food, however had the spill
occurred during the early morning hours, McDonald's would not have
been open and it would have been difficult to obtain food for the
emergency response personnel. Therefore, we will attempt to pre-
arrange with a vendor (perhaps McDonald's) so that someone could
be called out if such an emergency occurs during the time apart
from their normal business hours. The same types of arrangements
will be made for refreshments of various types at the command
center. This could include cold drinks during the hot summer
months, ho~ coffee during the cold winter months, etc. In both
these cases, we will attempt to arrange for an open purchase order
t'o be pre-designated through City Finance so that record keeping
can be expedited.. Additionally, contact will be made with a
contractor for portable, outdoor toilets. Toilet facilities at
any disaster are always a problem and there are such companies
available that can bring trailered "porta-potties" to the scene of
incidents, thus alleviating this problem.
Major Items for Future Consideration
In Council's discussion on August 17, they mentioned the need to
establish a "shopping llst" of items which would have been helpful
and perhaps should be considered for purchase at some future
date. To fill that need, the following items are offered for con-
sideration.
1. Mobile Telephones: As was identified in our report of August
11, mobile telephones are a matter of prime importance to the
command staff. We would recommend a priority of four mobile
telephones and that they be installed in (descending order
priority) the Field Supervisor's Unit, the Chief's Unit, the
Operations Captain's Unit and the Services Captain's Unit.
Attached to this memorandum are two purchase data sheets and
comparison data on three mobile telephone systems. Based upon
these, the Police Department would recommend that Council allocate
the funds for the purchase of four Harris Alpha 2000 systems.
Either the lease option or outright purchase are viable
alternatives. The discussion of these items is rather extensive
in the report of August 11 and it is unnecessary to repeat it at
this time.
Page 6
Chemical Spill at 12971 Newport Avenue, 8/9/81
S/31/gl
2. Breathing Apparatus: In this case, the Fire Department was
present on the scene prior to the Police Department arriving.
However, that is not always the case in disasters. It might be
appropriate for the Police Department to have two "Scott Air
Packs" available for immediate implementation in lifesaving
situations. Had the officers initially arrived on the scene and
observed bodies lying about the spill, they would have had to make
a decision as to whether to risk their own lives in a rescue
attempt or wait for Fire Department personnel to arrive with the
appropriate breathing apparatus. In cases such as this, the delay
time is a critical factor and it is imperative that lifesaving
efforts begin immediately. Therefore, we would recommend the
purchase of two such breathing units and their deployment with the
police units. It is not necessary to have more than two because
Fire Department response should be of such a short duration that
they can supply needs beyond that. The Fire Department should
also be able to supply any re-charging needs that would exist.
3. Lighted Barricades: There is the need for sufficient lighted
barricades to be available at City Yard so that extensive flare
use not be necessary should such an incident occur in the future.
During this incident there was a delay due to a pager malfunctlon
in the contact with the City employee responsible for providing
barricades for emergencies and most of the City's barricades were
in use at other sites and coul~V~e taken away without creating a
hazard elsewhere. We would recommend that approximately forty
flashing barricades be available for at least 80% of the time for
such emergency use if needed.
4. CB Radio: In this particular disaster, telephone
communications were not affected, however in the event of an
earthquake or major fire, it could very well be that telephonic
communication would be out over large segments of the City or
County. In that case, it would be extremely beneficial for the
Fiel~ SuPervisor's Unit to be equipped with a multi-channel double
side citizen bandradio. This would allow the Field Supervisor to
use it for communications in lieu of telephone through the normal
emergency use of such citizen radio networks.
5. Radio Pat-Set Batteries: One of the problems encountered
during the response to this emergency was that the pat-set radios
carried by the officers, and their only radio communication while
at a fixed post without their unit, are battery operated and the
batteries run down after appoximately 8 hours of steady use. We
will consider budgeting to purchase sufficient extra batteries so
that they can be kept charged and available for specific
replacement in situations of this type. Although the cost of
batteries is high (approximately $30 per battery) it is
Page 7
Chemical Spill at 12971 Newport Avenue, 8/9/81
8/31/81
considerably cheaper than buying extra radios at approximately
$1,200 per ra~io.
6. The last item we need is a major budget item. The particular
disaster in this case was made much easier to handle due to the
presence of the Fire Department's mobile command post. It
provided an easily recognizable command center and it provided
facilities necessary for performing the command functions along
with weather protection and personal comfort items. However, this
command post will not always be available to the City of Tustin.
The City Council may wish to consider the purchase of a trailer
mobile command post for the Police Department. This would
basically be a travel trailer, specially equipped without bedding
or kitchen facilities inside, but equipped with an outside awning,
two complete police radios, one CB radio, an independent
electrical generator, interior and exterior lighting, maps, toilet
facilities, a small refrigerator, water tank for drinking water,
heater, counter workspace and stacking type chairs to provide
chairs for both the i~terior and exterior of the trailer, as well
as a television and AM radio so that news coverage of any future
disaster may be monitored at the command post. If specific items
are requested regarding this to satisfy Council interest, a
proposed plan can be designed which will deal with each item.
Such a vehicle would serve multiple uses as it could be used not
only in the infrequent disasters which will affect the City, but
would also be beneficial as a highly visible command post for
special events such as the Tustin Tiller Days, the Tustin Meadows
Fourth of July Parade, the fireworks display at Tustin High School
on the fourth of July, etc. The design of the trailer would be
such that it could serve double duty as a mobile display center
for Crime Prevention materials, etc. We would anticipate
equipping two vehicles (the Field Supervisor's car and the
Department van) with trailer hitches so that the command post
could be quickly moved to the scene of need, whether that be a
disaster, either natural or manmade, or special event, or display
purposes. We would anticipate that such a vehicle could be
procurred and equipped for approximately $50,000. It may be that
this is a long range item of Council interest.
CONCLUSION
The Police Department has learned much from the response to the
acid spill at the Fricker Company and through the analysis of it,
we believe that future incidents will be handled with even greater
dispatch than this incident was. It is again important to
Page 8

reiterate that the citizens of the City and the personnel of the
emergency services units responded extremely well in this case
and that is the primary reason that injuries were minimal, there
was no loss of life, and property damage was extremely low.

CI~MICAL SPILL AND P, ESULTING POLICE ACTION AT 12971 NEWPORT AVE.
At approximately 12:20 p.m. on Sunday, August 9, 1981, the Tustin Police
DepartmenC was notified of a chemical spill which had just occurred at the
Larry Fricker Co. Inc. 12971 Newport Avenue, Tustin. Initial response was by
the Orange County Fire Department ~nd ~hey discovered a ~,000 gallon capacity
tank containing phosphoric acid was open and had leaked onCo che open
ground its entire contents (the tank was empty upon ~he arrival of asy
of[icial personnel). The resultant acid spill flowed onCo the public street
into the adjacent storm drains ~nd onto private property Co the rear of the
concerned business.
Lt. Wedemeyer responded to the scene at che request of the Fire Department
and was on ~he scene by 12:26 p.m. He i~mediately assumed co--~and and be$~n
coordinating all the area to prevent citizen injury and property d----Se fro~
vehicles driving through ~he puddled acid. I was notified via ~y pager at
approximately 12:35 p.m. and responded to the scene arriving at approximately
12:~5 p.m. Upon ~y arrival I found an initial co--~and Location set up at
Century 21 Reality on Irvlne just west of Newport within sight of a Large
puddle of ~he acid.
Lc. Wedemeyer had the initial cordoning off of the area completed and fire
personnel were setting up to begin a scouting mission to determine the exact
perimeCer and Che subscance involved. Initial reports were that the spill
was of sulphuric acid and it was necessary to determine if in fact this was
valid end what other chemicals, if any, may be involved. Due to ~he heav~
fumes the co~nd post was i--aedlately relocated at the northeast corner of
the Mer~nyn's parking Lot at Holt and lrvine. As ~he acid began to vaporize,
fuming in the area bec~ intolerable causing eye irration, skin irration and
difficulty in breathing for people subjected to heavy concentration.
Upon the return to the co,--and post by Fire Department personnel they were
able to determine that Che substance involved was phosphoric acid, not
sulphuric acid. In referring co che hazardous materials in the Emergency
Response Guide Book, published by the United States Department of
Transportation, phosphoric acid was determined to have these health hazards:
contact burns to skin and eyes, harm to individuals inhaling the fumes, and
that a fire involving these substances could produce irritating or poisonous
August 11, 1981
Page
gases. Additionally, dilution water waa a potential source of pollution both
to the water cable and co other water sources. The reco,s~ended ~,rgency
action was to keep people away, to isolate the hazard area and deny entry,
and that all persons in the area should wear self-contained breathing
apparatus and full protective clothing. Based upon that information and the
fact that Officers in the area were experiencing severe irritation to their
eyes and skin, a decision was made toevacuate people in the i~edlate area.
This was a voluntary evacuatation but was "strongly suggested" by official
personnel at the scene.
We were then informed from Fire Department scouts that there was evidence of
ocher chemical materials on or about ~he premises from previous 'spills.
Being faced with an unknown potential it was decided to expand the evacuaClon
area until eventually approximately 1 square mile was evacuated. This was
the area of Newport Boulevard and Packers Circle north to Was8, west to
Warren along the railroad tracks to Irvlne and back to Holt.
Mutual aid was called for and Officers responded from Santa Aha Police
Department, Orange County Sheriff's Department, the California Highway Patrol
and later the Irvine'Pollce Department. All available Tustin Police
personnel except those assigned to the a.m. shift were contacted and chose
who could be reached responded to assist with the scene. Additionally,
efforts were made to contact Tustin Police Department Reserve Officers and we
were successful in obtaining ~hree of them to assist as well as three of the
Tuetin Police Explorers.
Due to the high temperature (in the high 80's during the first three to four
hours of the incident) the acid vapo=ized rapidly and erratic wind conditions
caused fuming to be a problem in different areas of the evacuation area
therefore preventing us fro~ reducin$ the size of it.
All major intersections about the evacuation area were manned with Tustin or
mutual aid Officers while Fire Department personnel concentrated their
efforts on first COntaining and then assisting with the clean up of the acid
spill. Orange County Fire Department was assisted in the incident by the
Newport Beach Fire Department, the Garden Grove Fire Department and the
Anaheim Fire Department.
The American Red Cross was contacted and they opened and staffed an
evacuation center at Columbue-Tustin SchOol as well as a "refreshment" aid
station at the Command Post dispensing coffee and lemonade to involved
personnel. A medical aid station was established in the parking lot in front
of ltervyns and staffed by Orange County Paramedics. Due to the high
temperature and the presence of the acid fumes it was necessary to relieve
traffic control personnel and personnel in the i~diate area after only
approximately three hours on their poet. This allowed us to free regular
Officers from the various --,fuel aid agencies and replace them with Reserve
Officers. Total police personnel at the scene excluding the coemand staff
numbered sixty-seven with approximately eighty-five fire personnel at one
time or another on scene. Thus, approximately one hundred ~ fifty
personnel were used during the twelve hour course of the incident. It must
be remembered that not all of those people were involved at any one time.

The Cou~and Post was adjacent to a construction site where a skip loader was
present. That was commandeered and operated by a qualified operator from the
Orange County Fire Department ~nd dirt from ~hat sight was used to dike ~he
flood control channel to prevent the spread of the acid ~n the contaminated
area. Additionally, a~ approximately 3:13 p.na. diking was placed at Holt to
stop a back flme from the flood control syste~ and its pumps.
Upon the arrival of the appropriate XT personnel, they, £ncooperation' with
the Orange County Fire Department, began neutralizing the acid with a potash
solution and flushing the cont-mdnated area, then us£ng a tanker truck to
vacumn up ~he resultant contaminated fluid ~rom ~he area. At ~he compXetion
of that chemical checks were made of the ground which had been saturated by
the acid to determine ~he safety of it. At approximately 1:00 a.m. of
Honday, August 10th. the Co~-nd Post was advised by the IT Corporation that
it was nov safe for people to return to ~he evacuated area.
The evacuation center and ~he news media were notified and all streets were
opened at approimately 1:15 a.m., with the exception of the intersection of
Newport and Irvlne which was kept closed for a short period longer while the
IT Corporation finished clean up at the site of the main spill
concentration.
1'£m~S TO NOTE
During the course of ~his incident several ~hings ~orthy of note occurred.
First, the mutual aid agreements and the assistance for the County of Orange
were tested under actual conditions and were found to work exceptionally
well. Adequate lme enforcement personnel and fire fighting personnel was
imedlately available and performed well. The cooperation was excellent and
all agencies involved are to cou~aended for the way in which they handled the
situation.
Secondly, the citizens, for ~he most part, reacted very well to the
emergency. They followed direction with minimal compla£nt and delay and were
patient and understanding as ~hey waited clearance to return to their homes.·
There are, of course, a few exceptions to this who undoubtedly ~11 be or
have been £n contact w~th you and members of. ~he City Council.
August Il, 1981
Pag? ~our
Th£rd, there vas some problem in availability of resources (it was necessary
Co borrow fourteen boxes of [lares [rom Santa Ana F.D.) and we may have
strained some of our budget accounts particularily in the area of [1are
usage. ~flen it £s considered chat eight major £ntersectlons were 'blocked [or
approximately twelve hours it is understandable chat a large number of flares
had Co be used. Additioually, there was the need [or large detailed City
maps for the Field Supervisor Units which we did uot have.
Another major problem in the area of loglstic8 which showed up ~ras the
absence of telephone co~mu,uications. I would recomend chat we seriously
consider equiping the Field Supervisors Unit, the Chiefts car and the ~wo
Captain's car with mobile telephone units. The radio system was operating at
maximum capacity vlth the ~utual aid Officers on the scene. The resultant
extra radio traffic that vas generated caused ~he need [rom time Co time for
comau,scat[ohs between the Counand Post and the Scat[on or concerned City .
executives and/or legislators. It vas necessary [or the Comander to leave
the Comm~nd Post and move out of sight and out o[ co,nun[cation vi~h it while
he made phone calls from ~he closest phone booth.
The last area in ~his category of logistics was the need [or a larger number
of [lashing barricades availability at City Yard and a better system o[
contacting the City Yard employee who is on call OVer the weekend. There was
a delay of several hours in finally contacting this employee as apparently
his pager was inoperative.
Fourth. There is a need for ~reater training in the area of cheudcal
spills. A recently passed State law placed chis ~ole area within the realm
of police primary, responsibility. Our existing emersency plans worked veil
and all personnel reacted well. However, the potential for a greater problem
vas present and it would be best if more complete Cralning could be obtained
in this particular area. Some of our Supervisors have attended a course
offered by the California Specialized Training Institute, specilially dealing
with this area and I would recomend Chat the rest of our supervisory and
staff personnel be scheduled to attend it in the near future.
CONCLUSIONS:
The ever-present and usually'critical n~ws media have perhaps best svmed up
this incident.' All of the accounts Chat I have read and heard have been
complimentary of the way in which the incident was handled and the safety to
citizens and the environment which was maintained because of the methods
used. Hy personal feeling is ~hat the Officers of all ~he agencies at the
scene handled themselves in a very good manner and were able to minimize what
could have been a mch more serious incident. There are lessons Co be
learned and improvements to be made and in the course of analysis these will
be addressed as we continue the prosrem o[ up ~rading chis already excellent
Department.
