This project is for serv~ces to perform technical studies and to prepare t.he "Risk Management & Prevention Program (RMPP) on the syste:ns that store and ha!1dle chlorine and sulphur dioxide at the PARWQCP. Chlorine has been identified b~{ the County of Santa clara Health Department -Office of Toxies Enforcement (OTE) as an Acutely Hazardous Material. OTE is the Adniinistering Agency for the RMTP legislation as designated by the California Office of Emergency Services. The requirements for completing the technical studies and the RMPP are explained in the -RMPP Guidelines" {Attachment ", ... It) that have becon de.vel·Jped by OTE.
