1.1 Owner & Operator

This Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is developed for:

Denbury Resources

Owner/Operator & Address

Denbury Resources Inc. 5320 Legacy Drive Plano, TX 75024

Denbury is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company based in Plano, Texas.

1.2 Purpose

This Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is designed to provide Riley Ridge employees, and designated Incident Management Team (IMT) members with the information necessary to respond to incidents in a safe, rapid, effective, and efficient manner. This response plans primary goal is to help Denbury prevent, as far as practical, any injury or loss of life, damage to property, wildlife, or the environment. The health and safety of the public, Denbury employees, and its contractors will always be the primary objective of any emergency response.

Riley Ridge’s Operations is committed to protecting the health and safety of all who work, live, and recreate within the region. Denbury has developed this Emergency Contingency Plan (Plan) to manage risk and mitigate emergency situations that may arise during the development and operation of the proposed Riley Ridge project. The purpose of this Plan is to act as a guide for employees, contractors, and emergency response officials who may be in or near the project area in the event of an emergency situation occurring. For the Plan to be effective, all employees, contractors, and emergency response personnel must be familiar with and trained regarding all aspects of the Plan.

The Plan describes how Riley Ridge will manage risk and emergency response associated with the project. Details of emergency response policies and procedures used for the assessment and response of the Denbury operations will provide for a safe environment for the Riley Ridge project. The Plan will ensure that: Make certain that all employees and contractors understand working safely is a necessary part of their employment and inherent risks of their jobs are managed continuously to achieve a desired level of safety.


1.0 Introduction




1.2 Purpose (Cont’d)

Through this plan Riley Ridge will have provided all employees, contractors, and visitors to the project area the capabilities, knowledge, and resources necessary to respond correctly and efficiently to any emergency situation that may arise. In addition, all aspects of this project will be conducted in a way that protects employees, contractors, the general public, and the environment with the utmost regard and accountability. Employees will work with government agencies and the general public to provide an operation which performs in the highest standard and protects the environment in which it exists and will respond in a prudent manner to any emergency situation that could occur within the project area. The Plan within this document will detail emergency responses primarily for to a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) release but can be used for any hazardous substance release that may occur within the project area during the operational phase of this project.

All Riley Ridge personnel, including company contractors, will be trained in all aspects of the project operation, operator safety, and emergency response protocol before being allowed admittance to the project area. The training will be given in conjunction with the ES&H training for all new employees, visitors, and contractors. All trained personnel and will complete an annual refresher course.

Section 3 Hazard Evaluation

3.1 H2S

H2S is a colorless, transparent, flammable gas. It is heavier than air. The slightest presence of H2S in the air is normally detectable by its characteristic “rotten egg” odor. However, it is dangerous to rely on odor as a means of detecting excessive concentrations because the sense of smell is rapidly lost. As a result, lethal concentrations can accumulate without warning.

H2S is an extremely toxic and irritating gas. Free H2S in the blood reduces its oxygen-carrying capability, thereby depressing the nervous system. Sufficient high concentrations block the phrenic nerve, resulting in immediate collapse and death, due to respiratory failure and asphyxiation. Because H2S is oxidized quite rapidly to sulfates in the body, permanent after effects rarely occur in cases of recovery from acute exposures, there is the possibility that pulmonary edema may develop. Reports indicate that symptoms such as nervousness, headache, and insomnia, lasting up to about three days have occurred after acute exposure to H2S.

At low concentrations, the predominant effect of H2S is on the eyes and respiratory tract. Eye irritation, eye inflammation, pain, excessive tearing and painful sensitiveness to strong light may persist for several days. Respiratory tract symptoms include coughing, painful breathing and pain in the nose and throat. There is no evidence that repeated exposures to H2S result in accumulative poisoning.

Effects such as eye irritation, respiratory tract irritation, slow pulse rate, fatigue, digestive disturbances, and cold sweats may occur, but these symptoms disappear in a relatively short time after removal from the exposure. Repeated exposure can result in health effects occurring at levels that were previously tolerated without any effect. (OSHA, 2005).

1 From American National Standards Institute for H2S Concentrations (Z37.2 – 1972) 2 0.13 parts per million (ppm): minimal perceptible odor 3 4.69 ppm: easily detectable, moderate odor 4 10 ppm: beginning eye irritation 5 100 ppm: coughing, eye irritation, loss of sense of smell after 2 to 15 minutes 6 200 to 300 ppm: marked conjunctivitis and respiratory tract irritation after one hour of exposure 7 500 to 700 ppm: loss of consciousness and possible death in 30 minutes to one hour 8 700 to 1,000 ppm: rapid consciousness, cessation of respiration and death 9 1,000 to 2,000 ppm: unconsciousness at once, cessation of respiration and death in a few minutes

These concentrations may vary based on the health of the individual exposed.

3.0 Hazard Evaluation




3.2 Riley Ridge Operations

The production of the Riley Ridge operation consists of a complex gas mixture. This gas mixture also includes the presence of H2S, carbon dioxide (CO2), natural gas, as well as helium. Development and production of large reserves of natural gas and helium from this formation has been hampered by the presence of high concentrations of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and toxic H2S.

Re-injection of H2S and carbon dioxide back to the Madison formation is the proposed method of disposal through the use of an acid-gas injection well. This acid-gas mixture would comprise a mixture of 94% CO2 and 6% H2S. The presence of H2S within the gas stream presents possible threats to human health as well as other biological receptors.

If a release of H2S were to occur at concentrations above levels considered to be a risk to an organism’s health, a rapid response to a possible emergency situation would be necessary (See Section 4.6). With the use of predictive air dispersion models, it can be shown that a release of a chemical, in this case H2S, the chemical will disperse out from the source in a predictive nature. That output is modeled below (See Section 3.5)

3.3 Leak Detection and Alarm System

Riley Ridge has established systems for the detection of gas escape. A determination should be made of the exact location and magnitude of any leak along with verification of real problems vs false alarms. Leak detection systems include the following:





3.3 Leak Detection and Alarm System (Cont’d) D

etec

tion

& A

larm

Sys

tem

• All production and processing facilities will have electronic sensors installed to continuously monitor production levels and pressure.

• Sensors will be continuously monitored via the DCS. Any well site H2S detection that is activated will initiate a notification to the Riley Ridge Incident Management Team.

• Air sensors with alarms (both visual and audible) will be located throughout the facility to detect and alert personnel of possible H2S leaks within the production and processing areas.

• Determination of leak magnitude will be made by air sensors and will be automatic.

• Audible and electronic alarms will be automatic and continuous until disengaged by the Emergency Response Facilities.

• Determination of climatic conditions affecting gas movement will be automatic based on real-time data communication from Ambient Air Quality and Air Monitoring Station.

• Data communication between air sensors and air monitoring station and the Emergency Response Centers will be instantaneous and continuous via buried fiber optic lines.

• Determination of the exact location of detected leaks will be electronic and linked to the location of the sensor.





3.4 EPCRA (Emergency Planning & Community Right-to-Know)

Under the Community right-to-know laws, the Riley Ridge designated facility coordinator will make a determination, after a hazard evaluation, whether or not notification under this regulation needs to be initiated. This determination will be made based upon the level of the threat coupled with the ALOHOA (Area Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) model developed jointly with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).

If the determination to make notifications is made then the designated facility coordinator will notify the LEPC (Local Emergency Planning Committee) as well as the SERC (State Emergency Response Commission). Please see Section 5.3 for conducting the appropriate notifications.

3.5 ALOHA (Area Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres)

ALOHA is a dispersion model that requires the input of simple, easily obtainable local data to determine areas of concern regarding significant threshold values for toxicity for a given chemical (H2S). These data include climatic conditions such as ambient air temperature, wind speed, as well as atmospheric stability. Other data inputs include the chemical, the source, and physical properties of the release such as temperature and pressure of the chemical, volume of chemical release, and the source of the chemical. (See Table 3.1 below).

Because ALOHA is a simple dispersion model not requiring detailed input data to run the model, the model itself has limitations regarding reliability in predicting actual conditions which may occur within the environment. These limitations may occur under the following environmental conditions including:

• Very low wind speeds;• Very stable atmospheric conditions;• Wind shifts and terrain steering effects; or• Concentration patchiness, particularly near the release source.

3.5 Determining Worst Case Discharge

The total distance from the facility to the acid-gas injection well is 1.45 miles (7,656 feet). In the event of a rupture of the pipeline at the point of injection (worst-case scenario) and with an automatic shutdown of the delivery of the acid-gas from the facility from an emergency shutdown, it can be determined that the total volume of H2S that could be released into the atmosphere from a rupture would be limited to calculated volume based upon the following calculation:

Section 4 Response Procedure

The purpose of this section is to quickly identify hazardous substance leaks and their incident level along with the necessary response checklist/procedures to follow.

4.1 Incident Levels

4.1.1 Determining Response Levels

In order to properly respond to any emergency, incidents should be classified into one of three levels. The incident level is determined by the complexity of the incident, the risks to Riley Ridge personnel, the public, impact on the environment, and property damage. These level classifications will be used to communicate to all personnel within Riley Ridge.

The focus of this guidance presented in this section is on the organization, functions, roles, and responsibilities associated with IMT’s developed to respond to emergencies.

LEVEL RANKING

1 Lowest

2 Intermediate

3 Highest

NOTE: Notification requirements for each Incident Level are outlined in Section 5.0 of this ERP.

D Direct the initial phase of control, containment, and response until a supervisor arrives. Contact emergency response contractors when needed

D Refer any media inquires to the Plant Manager.





4.4 Fire and Explosion

4.4.1 Fire

Product specific fire and explosion information can be obtained from the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

GENERAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES Only incipient stage fires will be fought! D Appropriate personal protective equipment must be used. D All personnel must first consider their safety and the safety of others.

D Extinguish a fire using a dry chemical extinguisher using the proper fire extinguisher procedures.

D Avoid getting trapped by the fire. D Always fight a fire upwind (wind at your back). D Never attempt to fight a fire that’s around flammable liquids. D If fire proceeds past incipient stages, evacuate all involved personnel.

Fire / Explosion Checklist In the event of an uncontrolled fire, caution should be exercised due to the possibility of nearby fuel sources.

D Upon recognition of fire at facility, secure the source if safe to do so D Account for all personnel in the area where the fire occurred. D Evacuate all non-essential personnel from the facility

D Establish communications, contact the Operations Supervisor/Plant Manager/Drilling Superintendent.

D Conduct air monitoring to ensure the safety of personnel and determine the appropriate PPE that will be required to respond.

D Rescue missing or injured personnel using the Buddy System.

D

Initiate firefighting by Operations personnel if: • Fire is incipient stage• Employees are trained in the use of fire extinguishers• Extinguishment does not expose employees to hazard

D Do not attempt to put out the fire if gas is still escaping. D Evacuate nearby residents if required.

D

If the fire cannot be extinguished right away and has accelerated beyond incipient stage:

• Contact 911 (See External Notifications - Local Notificationssection)

• State the location of the emergency• State the nature of the fire (building, tank, etc.)





4.4 Fire and Explosion (Cont’d)

4.4.2 Gas

NATURAL GAS FIRE PROCEDURES In the event of an uncontrolled natural gas release, caution should be exercised due to the possibility of nearby ignition sources. D Turn off vehicles when arriving on scene.

D Use extreme caution to avoid the possibility of introducing any ignition sources (e.g., cell phone and handheld radios).

D Do not attempt to put out the fire while the gas is still escaping. D Shut off the source of the gas release, if possible and only if it is safe to do so.

D Once the source has been shut off, observe the area from a safe distance to ensure that all potential hazards have been addressed.

If the source of the gas release can’t be safely shut off: D The area should be isolated (entrance gate(s) locked and guarded).

D The on-scene commander will determine the best plan to eliminate the gas release and the appropriate radius of exposure.

D Obtain a combination O2/LEL/H2S/SO2 monitor to measure concentrations while performing work within a vapor cloud. Concentrations of H2S and SO2 /or ::19.5% and 223.5% enriched O2 will require positive pressure breathing apparatus.

D Notify private residents within a ½ mile (or larger depending upon ALOHOA modeling) radius of the location.

D The on-scene commander will determine if area residents should evacuate the area.





4.4 Fire and Explosion (Cont’d)

4.4.2 Gas (Cont’d)

PETROLEUM FIRE PROCEDURES D Stop the source of the spill before extinguishing any fire, if safe to do so. D Do not attempt to fight any fire that may endanger your personal safety.

FLAMMABLE LIQUID FIRE PROCEDURES D Call 911. D Use caution when approaching due to the possibility of intense heat.

D Locate and shut off the source of the liquid as soon as possible and if safe to do so.

D Only attempt to extinguish if the fuel source has been shut off and adjacent equipment is cool, to prevent re-ignition.

4.4.3 Explosion

EXPLOSIONS D Call 911. D In the event of an explosion at the facility, more than likely it will result in a fire.

D If the explosion results in a sustained natural gas leak and fire, review the Natural Gas Fire Procedures in 4.3.1.

D Be aware that multiple gas leaks and/or fires may result in an explosion. Caution should be used and a complete containment plan established before proceeding to eliminate the possibility of secondary explosions.





4.5 Injury/Medical/Rescue

Injury/Medical/Rescue Checklist

The following checklist can assist in preparing for and responding to workplace injuries.

D Properly respond to any injured personnel by first making sure that the area is safe for others to properly respond.

D Notify emergency personnel and emergency services as soon as possible. This includes First Responders, ambulance services, hospitals, etc. as needed (see Section 5.0 for phone list).

D Always use the proper PPE when responding.

D

Move an injured person to a safe location if an immediate threat to their life exists. If you need to move a person you suspect has a neck injury, keep their head and neck immobile and attempt to move them as one unit. Do the same if an injured person must be rolled over.

D Notify the appropriate level of supervision as soon as practical. D Complete a formal report within 24 hours. Only document the facts. D Follow-up on any actions identified by the incident or investigation.

Determining Hospitals

One of the best ways to be prepared for a workplace injury or illness is to pre- identify hospitals that are properly equipped to deal with an injury that may result from the types of hazards involved with Denbury operations.

The following may assist in determining any additional hospitals: D Types of special care units. D Air ambulances service. D Knowledge of hazards associated with oil and gas operations. D Location.





4.6 H2S Release

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Release

General Information

Hazard Information

Physical Description: H2S is a colorless gas with an odor resembling rotten eggs at low concentrations. At high concentrations (> 100 ppm), loss of the sense of smell can occur. Most people can smell H2S at concentrations ranging from 0.1 ppm to 2 ppm. H2S can deaden the sense of smell in a few minutes. At higher concentrations, respiratory paralysis and death may occur quickly. Primary hazards: Toxic, flammable gas. Respiratory hazard. Moderately irritating to eyes, mucous membranes. A potentially hazardous volume of H2S is defined as one which could result in a ground level concentration of 100 ppm or higher where people are known or expected to be located. Concentrations of 100 ppm are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH). Fire hazards/special firefighting considerations: H2S concentration will be lethal at lower explosive limit, as 4% = 40,000 ppm. Gives off sulfur dioxide when burning. Spill/release considerations: H2S is heavier than air and can accumulate in low-lying areas. H2S is corrosive to many materials in the presence of water or water vapor and is reactive with oxidizing agents.

Use Common Sense


D If a fixed or personal monitor alarm goes off, the employee must assume that H2S is present.

D The employee shall immediately leave the area by the safest route possible. D Windsocks will help the employee determine the wind direction. D Notify your Supervisor. D The employee should proceed upwind or move crosswind and then upwind.

D H2S will collect in low lying areas. Employees should also move uphill, where applicable.

D All employees will follow the Denbury H2S Policy & Procedures located in the R2GP Safety Manual.

4.6 H2S Release

4.6.1 Ignition of Uncontrolled Gas Release (Drilling)

4.6.1.1 Ignition Criteria:

Most H2S gas releases are limited to isolating and blowing down a section of pipeline to a flare system. However, under certain conditions, particularly during Drilling and Well Servicing Operations, there is a possibility for a sustained uncontrolled release of H2S gas. In order to protect the public under these circumstances, it may be necessary to ignite the gas release.

When H2S is ignited, it is converted to Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and is carried by the heat of combustion higher into the atmosphere, causing it to disperse over a larger area. This tends to lower the ground level concentrations of SO2 to manageable levels.

If time permits, on-site supervision will discuss the need to ignite an uncontrolled H2S release with the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) or law enforcement. However, if the on-site conditions demand decisive and immediate action, the IC has the authority to ignite the H2S release if the following conditions exist:

• An H2S concentration of 10 Parts Per Million (PPM) is detected for a time weightedaverage of 5 minutes in any public area.

• H2S is being released and downwind monitoring is not occurring because of unforeseencircumstances, such as inclement weather or loss of communication.

• R2GP , in conjunction with local law enforcement, deems it necessary.

4.6.1.2 Ignition Equipment:

A four-man ignition team requires the following equipment:

EQUIPMENT NUMBER Flare gun with two dozen flares 1 Full body harnesses with 100 foot of flame-resistant retrieval rope 2 Flame-resistant coveralls 4 Cotton/leather gloves 4 Hearing protection (earmuff or disposable) 4 Hard hats (preferably with face shields for protection against flashback) 4 Flame-resistant hard hat liners for use with SCBA 4 Combustible Gas Indicator (CGI) (minimum three gas – LEL, H2S O2) 2 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) (minimum 30 minute air supply)

4

Extra bottles for SCBA 4 Intrinsically safe radio (minimum of one for IC, two for ignition team (one for back-up/rescue personnel, one for flare gun shooter/gas monitoring person)

3





4.6.1 Ignition of Uncontrolled Gas Release (Drilling) (Cont’d)

4.6.1.3 Ignition Procedures:

Ignition of an H2S gas release is dangerous and should be performed with caution by H2S trained personnel following safe-work procedures. The ideal ignition team has five members: never attempt the procedure with fewer than three people (On-Scene Commander, Back-up to tend retrieval line, and flare gun).

1. The On-Scene Commander ensures that non-essential personnel have retreated to asafe upwind location.

2. The ignition team consists of two back-up/rescue personnel, one person to operate CGIand radio, and one person to fire flare gun.

3. The ignition team dons all personal protective equipment prior to beginning ignitionoperations for released gas.

4. The two back-up/rescue persons are positioned up wind with a radio to tend the retrievalropes attached to the flare gun and monitoring/communications operators.

5. The flare gun operator, is equipped with flare gun and flares (minimum 12), and themonitoring/communications person, equipped with CGI and radio, will approach within100 yards of the suspected outside perimeter of the gas release. They will positionthemselves such that:

• Allows for a safe retreat• Is upwind of the gas release• Is free of explosive gas concentrations• Is not closer than necessary (the flare should reach the outside perimeter of the

ignitable gas concentration; a 12 gauge flare has an approximate range of 80yards and a 4 gauge flare has an approximate range of 120 yards

6. The person firing the flare gun and the person conducting atmosphericmonitoring/operating radio will assume a prone position prior to igniting the released gas.

7. Person on radio will communicate that the flare will be fired (prior to initial or anyadditional attempt to ignite the gas. On-Scene Commander and Back-up personnel willrespond in the affirmative prior to actual firing of flare(s). If the gas does not ignite, theteam will move 5-10 yards closer and repeat steps 5, 6, and 7.





4.6.1 Ignition of Uncontrolled Gas Release (Drilling) (Cont’d)

4.6.1.4 Post Ignition Procedures:

After igniting the released gas, the On-Scene Commander will perform the following duties:

• Notify the area manager(s) that the H2S gas has been ignited.• Conduct downwind atmospheric monitoring for H2S, SO2, LEL and O2.• Ensure that gas continues to burn.• Evacuate public downwind of burning H2S, if SO2 concentrations reach 5 PPM for 15

minutes.• Implement well control plan.

4.15 Severe Weather

The Severe Weather Checklist below should be used during all severe weather situations.

Severe Weather Checklist The following checklist identifies key items to consider during an event which severe weather could impact the facility:

Weather Monitoring

D Radios and scanners can be used to monitor severe weather reports provided by local emergency response frequencies and radio stations.

D When severe weather approaches, scanners and radios should be turned on and monitored.

D All personnel should be notified of severe storms in the area. All personnel can then assist in the weather watch as they go about their regular duties.

Thunderstorms / Lighting / High Winds Checklist This checklist identifies actions to be taken when threatened by thunderstorms, producing lightning or high winds.

D Upon notification of impending severe weather conditions, notify the immediate supervisor and/or any contactors on location of the situation.

D Personnel will be instructed to shut down all nonessential activities and take shelter inside a permanent building until the storm has passed.

D Immediately bring personnel off tanks, scaffolding, pipe racks, and other elevated work areas. Suspend product loading operations and close all tank openings.

D Take shelter until the storm has passed.





4.15 Severe Weather (Cont’d)

Flooding Checklist

D Evacuate immediately, if advised to do so.

D Avoid areas that are prone to flooding (e.g. dips, low spots, canyons, and washes).

D Avoid areas that are already flooded.

D Never walk through a flooded area. As little as six inches of flowing water can sweep a person off their feet.

D Do not drive through a flooded area. Only two feet of water can lift and wash away a truck.

D If a vehicle stalls in a flooded area; abandon the vehicle and move to higher ground.

D Do not park vehicles near streams and washes, especially during severe storm warnings.






Tornado – General Information

Tornado Checklist Tornado Watch

D Be on alert.

D If funnel-shaped clouds are sighted, call the local field office and follow procedures below.

Tornado Watch

D Unless an actual tornado is spotted, notification will probably come over the Sheriff or Fire Department’s radio frequency first.

D The on-site supervisor or contractor in charge will make the decision to initiate an emergency shut-in.

D If seeking shelter inside a building, move to the interior, away from windows. Seek protection from falling or flying objects by sheltering in a closet, bathroom, under a table or desk, etc.

D

If seeking shelter outside, move away from process areas, product storage, or other areas where release of hazardous materials or hazardous energy may be possible due to storm damage. If in open areas, move to a low-lying area, such as a road ditch, culvert, etc. Lie face down and cover your head to protect yourself from flying debris.

D If driving in open country, move away from the approaching tornado at right angles if possible. If there is not time to find shelter, abandon your vehicle and lie flat in a ditch or depression. Avoid areas with large trees and power lines.

D If the area is hit by a tornado, be aware there is a definite chance of escaping gas, and possibly a fire.






A winter storm may include snow or sleet, or a rainstorm where ground temperatures are cold enough to allow ice to form (i.e. freezing rain).

Winter Storm Checklist This checklist identifies actions to be taken when company offices or facilities are threatened by a winter storm.

D

During the winter storm season, the on-site supervisor or contractor in charge, with the help of the field office personnel will monitor weather forecasts and notify field personnel via 2-way radio or cell phone of any winter storm watches or warnings.

D

If a winter storm strikes and storm severity warrants field evacuation, all personnel will report to the field office for a head count. The drilling and/or production superintendent will ensure that all persons are accounted for prior to closing down operations. Individuals traveling to their residence will telephone and notify the on- duty supervisor of their safe arrival home.

D In the event an individual becomes stranded in the field or on the road, stay with the vehicle and follow winter survival rules until help arrives. Do not attempt to travel on foot until it is safe to do so.

D After the storm, facilities will be checked with the aid of four-wheel drive vehicles. All personnel shall maintain 2-way radio or cell phone communication with the office when in the field during or immediately after a storm.

4.16 Equipment Near High Voltage Lines Overhead and buried power lines at the Riley Ridge Gas Plant, are especially hazardous due to the extremely high voltage they carry. Fatal electrocution is the main risk, but burns and falls from elevations are also hazards. Using tools and equipment that can contact these lines increase the risk. Maintain a sphere of awareness when working in these situations.

Examples of Equipment that Can Contact Power Lines D Drilling Rigs D Backhoes D Workover Rigs D Cranes, man-lifts, forklifts D Metal building materials D Ladders D Tall trucks





4.16 Equipment Near High Voltage Lines(Cont’d)

To Avoid Hazards Employee Responsibility D Look for overhead, buried, warning signs and indicators. D Contact One-Call of Wyoming, and Utility companies. D Stay at least 10 feet away from power lines, and 4 feet during transit. D Assume all lines are energized. D Utilize the proper energy isolation program when working near power lines. D Use non-conductive fiberglass ladders when working near power lines.

4.17 Vandalism/Theft

Discovery of Stolen Items or Vandalism D Leave area undisturbed. D Report stolen items or damaged items to the Supervisor. D Make a list of any missing items; provide as much detail as possible.

Person Discovered Vandalizing or Stealing Property D Do not approach the person; it may not be safe to do so. D Report the incident immediately to the Supervisor. Dial 911 if necessary.

D Remain in the area if safe to do so, until situation is under control by Supervision or local law enforcement.





4.18 Response Termination

Response Termination Termination activities are divided into three phases: debriefing the incident, post- incident analysis, and critiquing the incident. The extent to which these phases are undertaken depends on the nature and magnitude of the spill or release. Even a small product release could elicit very detailed termination activities. For example, a release of H2S with subsequent employee or public negative impact. Additionally, some spills or releases trigger outside agency reporting. These events would trigger the formal termination procedures outlined in this section.

General Information Debriefing the Incident:

D

Debriefings should begin as soon as the “emergency” phase of the operation is completed. Ideally, this should be before first responders leave the scene, and it should include the hazmat response team, sector officers, and other key players such as public information officers and agency representatives who the IC determines would benefit from being involved.

D Inform responders exactly what hazardous materials they were (possibly) exposed to and the signs and symptoms.

D Identify equipment damage and unsafe conditions requiring immediate attention or isolation for further evaluation.

D Assign information-gathering responsibilities for a Post-Incident Analysis (PIA) and critique.

D Summarize the activities performed by each sector, including topics for follow- up.

Safety meeting attendance forms and or memoranda may be utilized to document the debriefing. Post-Incident Analysis:

D PIAAAR is the detailed, step-by-step review of the incident to establish a clear picture of the events that took place during the incident. It is conducted to establish a clear picture of the emergency response for further study.

D

The PIAAAR is not the same as investigations conducted to establish the probable cause of the accident for administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings. Those are usually conducted utilizing root cause or hazard and operability methodologies. One person or (or office) should be designated to collect information about the response during the debriefing. Additional data may be obtained from Command post logs, incident reports and eyewitness interpretations.

D

Once all available data has been assembled and a rough draft report developed, the entire package should be reviewed by key responders to verify the available facts are arranged properly and actually occurred. The PIA should focus on four key topics: Command and Control, Tactical Operations, Resources and Support Services.





4.18 Response Termination (Cont’d)

Post-Incident Analysis (Cont’d)

D Willingness to cooperate through teamwork. D Continuing training of skills and techniques. D Pre-planning for significant incidents. D Sharing information between response agencies.






After Action Review Format: A critique leader is assigned. This can be anyone who is comfortable and effective working in front of a group. The critique leader should:

D Control the critique. Introduce the players and procedures. Keep it moving and end on schedule.

D Follow the agenda. (Sample Agenda format on Pg. 32) D Set the tone of the review. D Ensure all participants feel free to speak their minds, respectfully. D Verify the use of the AAR as a formal or informal format. D Ensure participation from all groups is maintained throughout the meeting.

5.4 Media

Communication and public affairs are best handled by persons trained in dealing with the media. There will be times when it is not practical to refer all questions from the media and public to corporate headquarters. Indeed, a factual, short response can help reduce the time and effort ultimately needed to respond to the media and public.

INITIAL NOTIFICATIONS

Notifications regarding an incident and associated media inquiries should follow the following process.

If the press or media arrive on scene, please follow the procedures below:

./

Immediately contact: Name Office Cell Home

Plano Office 972-673-2000

./ If you cannot contact anyone at the Corporate Office, limit any statement to the information location in Section 7.2 of this ERP.

All information released will be handled in accordance with the following policy:

./ In the event of injuries or loss of life, the names will be withheld until the next of kin is notified.

./

Individuals assigned to guard duty should be courteous, as they will generally be the first Denbury representatives with whom reporters and photographers will have contact. When press representatives ask guards at the facility or lease gates for permission to enter, the guards will tell them, as politely as possible, that they do not have the authority to grant such permission and will suggest that, for official information, they talk to the Public Relations representative who will be at the scene of the emergency.

./ Reporters, photographers, and other unauthorized personnel are not to be permitted to be on the lease or near the facility during an emergency.

./ There is to be no company interference with reporters and photographers who are not on company property. Photographers have rights to take photographs from public highways, and railroad property.,

./

Our representatives must not do any guessing or speculating. They must state only established facts. Say no more than is needed. Whenever it is evident that the reporter is trying to make a sensation out of the incident to represent the danger or loss as being greater than it is, our representatives are to state the facts as they are. This is particularly necessary in the case of petroleum product fires, which are spectacular and usually look more serious than they are.

Section 6 Incident Management

System

6.1 Incident Command System Structure

Denbury has adopted the National Incident Management System (NIMS) ICS organization as outlined in:

• Homeland Security Presidential Directive Five (HSPD-5)• National Response Plan (NRP), December 2005

All Federal, State, tribal, and local levels of government, as well as many private sector and non-governmental organizations use ICS for a broad spectrum of emergencies. These range from small to complex incidents, both natural and manmade, and include acts of catastrophic terrorism. The Company has adopted the NIMS ICS to allow the partnership of Unified Command to be developed when required in training, exercises or responses.

Note: The document, FEMA 501, National Incident Management System was referenced in the development of this document.

ICS Organization

The ICS is applicable across a spectrum of incidents that may differ in terms of size, scope, and complexity because of its: ./ Functional unit management structure.

./ Modular organizational structure that is extendable to incorporate all necessary elements. Responsibility and performance begin with the incident command element, the IC, and build from the top down.

Functional Areas

ICS is usually organized around five major functional areas: ./ Command./ Operations ./ Planning ./ Logistics ./ Finance/administration.

The IC will establish the sixth functional area, intelligence, based on the requirement of the situation at hand.


6.0 Incident Management System




System

6.1 Incident Command System Structure (Cont’d)

Transitional Steps

Some of the more important transitional steps that are necessary to apply ICS in a field incident environment include the following:

./ Recognize and anticipate the requirement that organizational elements will be activated and take the necessary steps to delegate authority as appropriate.

./ Establish incident facilities as needed, strategically located, to support field operations.

./ Establish the use of common terminology for organizational functional elements, position titles, facilities, and resources.

./ Rapidly evolve from providing oral direction to the development of a written IAP.

Modular Extension

The modular concept is based upon the following considerations:

./ Develop the form of the organization to match the function or task to be performed.

./ Staff only those functional elements that are required to perform the task.

./ Observe recommended span-of-control guidelines.

./ Perform the function of any non-activated organizational element at the next highest level.

./ Deactivate organizational elements no longer required.

Management Assignments

The IC’s initial management assignments will normally be one or more section chiefs to manage the major ICS functional areas.

./ Section chiefs will further delegate management authority for their areas as required.

./ If needed, section chiefs may establish branches or units as appropriate for the section.

./ Each functional unit leader will further assign individual tasks within the unit as needed.

./ Section chiefs serve as the general staff for the IC.

Staffing

Use the separate sections to organize staff as the need arises.

./ Section chiefs will further delegate management authority for their areas as required.

./ If needed, section chiefs may establish branches or units as appropriate for the section.





System


Partners

Several types of agencies could be in the operations section, and work together or in combinations depending on the situation. ./ Fire./ Law enforcement ./ Public health ./ Public works ./ Emergency services

Other participants may include private individuals, companies, or nongovernmental organizations, some of which may be fully trained and qualified to participate as partners in the operations section.

Tactical Operations

The specific method selected for organizing and executing incident operations will depend on the: ./ Type of incident../ Agencies involved. ./ Objectives and strategies of the incident management effort.

Organization

The organizational structure for incident tactical operations can vary and may be based on: ./ A method to accommodate jurisdictional boundaries../ An approach that is strictly functional in nature. ./ A mix of functional and geographical approaches.





System


Branches

Establish branches for reasons such as:

./ The numbers of divisions and/or groups exceed the recommended span of control for the operations section chief.

./ The nature of the incident calls for a functional branch structure.

./ The incident is multi-jurisdictional.

The ICS organizational principles that have been adopted are:

./ Ability to address all risks and hazards.

./ Ability to mobilize an organization that is functional (i.e. one that is organized to perform the tactical and strategic work necessary to address the incident and to protect people, the environment and property).

./ Ability to activate and deactivate the functional organization in modular fashion.

./ Maintenance of a hierarchical structure that has a clear Chain-of-Command and will defined reporting relationships.

./ Ability to establish and maintain a Unified Command with involved incident response organizations.

The planning cycle process to manage large events will be followed to ensure the field is supported and plans are in place to manage the incident in safe manner.


Span of Control

The section chief shall set up branches and allocate divisions and groups within them to stay within the recommended span of control. (1 Supervisor per 7 people)

7.2 Training Documentation

All Denbury training shall be documented and training files for each affected employee will be maintained on file for a period of three (3) years.

7.3 Exercise/Drills

7.3.1 Exercises

Denbury requires exercises to ensure effectiveness of the written emergency response / support plan(s) and the capability of the response team(s). As a result, the company IMT will develop and maintain a multi-year program.

Exercises will simulate scenarios and risks identified in the company’s Emergency Response Plan. Exercises should include all activated elements of the IMT and should present a variety of problems that should challenge all segments of the IMT.

7.3.2 Tabletop Exercise

A Tabletop Exercise is an informal gathering of appropriate incident response team personnel to discuss incident response/management issues. The intent of a tabletop exercise is to allow the participants to evaluate plans, procedures, policies and resolve issues of coordination, assignment of responsibilities, interaction between departments and organizations, etc. in a non-threatening environment and under a minimum of stress.

7.3.3 Functional Exercise

A Functional Exercise is designed to focus on testing and evaluating centralized emergency operations capabilities and the response of the various units of government, private industry, and volunteer organizations in a simulated, real time environment. This level of exercise involves (1) EOC personnel who carry out actions and coordination as though the incident were real; (2) a team of controllers and simulators who track exercise events and related objective assessment and represent the incident, responding field units, levels of government not active in the exercise; (3) a team of evaluators who assess operational capabilities based on required criteria for successful performance based on the emergency response plan.





Procedure

7.3 Exercise/Drills (Cont’d)

7.3.4 Full Scale Exercise

The Full Scale Exercise is designed to test and evaluate the operational capability of emergency management systems in an inter-active manner. The full scale exercise includes all the components of the functional exercise with the addition of the actual responding field units and personnel. This level of exercise activity should test all components of the emergency management system that would be involved in the response given the scenario selected for the exercise.

The impact on a community from an incident can be greatly reduced by having good communication between the company and all of the stakeholders (neighbors, emergency response personnel and local officials).

Exercises should be designed to:

./ Test the IMT’s ability to act as expected and required to emergencies that could occur within the Division.

./ Provide response personnel with an opportunity to apply their training and exercise/get comfortable with their roles & responsibilities and the Incident Management System.

./ Identify gaps, limitations, and areas of concern to address with the response team, plans, equipment, and response tools.

./ Build on lessons learned from previous experience from previous drills or actual spill response events.





Procedure

7.3 Exercise/Drills (Cont’d)

7.3.5 Documentation
