SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Emergency Response
•Created / Developed / Managed Emergency Response and Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasures Plans. As Emergency Response Manager and Coordinator, developed, reviewed
and updated emergency and oil spill response plans, as well as Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasures (SPCC) plans for the electric energy, major oil and gas, chemical, and pipelines
companies, including the Electric Reliance Council of Texas (ERCOT), Chevron, Williams Pipeline
Company, Duke Energy, and Genesis Crude Oil Company. Results include assurance of compliance
with applicable federal, state and local regulations, updated and improved plans for spill prevention
and response for minor, major and sustained response action in the continental U.S.
•Coordinated / Oversaw / Conducted Emergency Training. As Emergency Response Manager,
coordinated numerous hazard waste operations and emergency response operations (Hazwoper)
training programs for spill management team members and qualified individuals. These training
sessions, which also included Preparedness for Response Exercises Programs (PREP) drills and
equipment deployment drills with participation of federal, state and local regulatory agencies. These
training sessions and drills were very effective in preparing and familiarizing facility response teams
and incident commanders with emergency response plans and incident and unified command
operations.
•Cultivated excellent working relationships with federal, state, and local regulatory agencies.
Trust established with regulatory agencies in normal course of business became crucial when major
pipeline catastrophe caused several deaths, extensive environmental damage, and enormous public
concern. When State of Washington removed approval status of all oil spill removal organizations, all
pipeline operators automatically became "out of compliance" with federal and state regulatory
standards. I immediately enlisted EPA and DOE support to train local firefighters in Hazwoper and
equipment deployment drills and reestablish approval ratings for newly established emergency
responders. Within 3 months, my company was declared in compliance; industry regained public
support needed to resume and maintain operations.
•Established Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response (TRANSCAER)
Process and Outreach Program. As the primary responder to off-site emergency response
transportation incidents, I developed and coordinated the TRANSCAER process and outreach
program which provided assistance to State Emergency Response Commissions (SERCs) and Local
Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs). Process provided assistance to local emergency
planners, responders, and the public in identification and assessment of hazardous materials
transported through their community. Process assisted community in development of local
emergency response plans to deal with hazardous material incidents and highly effective in
establishing positive community relations.
•Coordinated Joint Emergency Response Team. I was instrumental in forming a joint emergency
operations team and joint emergency response plan for responding to emergency operations in the
pipeline and production/drilling operations. The result of the formation of the emergency team and
emergency plan was proven very effective in responding to several emergency incidents since it's
conception. The Mineral Management Service (MMS), lead regulatory agency for offshore pipelines
and drilling/production operations, was very impressed with the effectiveness of the responses. The
MMS resulting decision was to use the joint emergency response team as the preferred responder to
offshore incidents when the responsible party is unknown or not identified.
•Participation in Crisis Management Response Actions. With fifteen years in the emergency
response field, served as a member of the Corporate Crisis Management Team and Oil Spill
Response Team (OSRT). This select team provided emergency response support to all company
subsidiaries involving major emergencies and spills/releases involving sustained response action in
the continental United States.
