It explains how to adapt sections to system size and complexity, maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, and incorporate AWIA 2018 overlap guidance. The ERP functions as a “living” document requiring regular updates, clear operational detail, and continuity of operations. It also recommends linking the plan to related documents and establishing structured personnel and communications using NIMS/ICS.","Drinking Water Sector\nEmergency Response Plan Template\nCommunity Water Systems\nThis template is intended to assist in the development of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) tailored to individual water systems. It is suitable for any water system and can be modified to fit each system’s specific needs.  For large water systems, additional sections should be added, as necessary, to address various complexities.  Smaller systems, however, may find that certain sections are not applicable. In making such decisions, special attention should be paid to ensure that regulatory obligations for content are met (N.J.A.C. 7:19-11.2). Additionally, this document has been revised to incorporate requirements created under America’s Water Infrastructure of 2018 (AWIA), which has some overlapping, but not identical requirements.\nAn ERP may not be a single document. Depending on the size and complexity of the system, as well as the management structure, an ERP may contain references to various existing documents (e.g. communication protocols, individual Emergency Action Plans, check lists, additions to existing operations manuals, appendices, etc.). In this case, an overview document, as well as specific locational information for the referenced documents, is recommended.\nIt is important to note that an ERP is a “living” document that requires regular updates. Additionally, it should be flexible and easily understood, while supplying sufficient detail to ensure that personnel can implement necessary emergency procedures without question or delay ensuring continuity of operations.\n\u000f\nDisclaimer:  This Emergency Response Plan (ERP) template is provided as guidance only and establishes a suggested format to be followed in the preparation of an Emergency Response Plan.  Every section of this template may not be applicable to every water system and all potential emergency situations may not be identified.  It is the responsibility of the water system to evaluate their particular vulnerabilities and the appropriate responses to them.  This template should be modified as necessary to reflect the specific conditions of the water system.\nAcknowledgements: This ERP template was prepared from various standards on the content of ERPs, including but not limited to: the New Jersey Water Allocation Rules, specifically N.J.A.C. 7:19-11.1 et seq.; the National Water Association’s Rural and Small Water and Wastewater System Emergency Response Plan Template dated March 2003, the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Emergency Response Plan Guidance for Small And Medium Water Systems dated April 7, 2004; the EPA’s Response Protocol Toolbox: Planning for and Responding to Drinking Water Contamination Threats and Incidents - Module 1:Water Utilities Planning Guide; New York Rural Water Association’s Water Supply Emergency Response Plan Template; and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Drinking Water Program Emergency Response Planning Guide for Public Drinking Water Systems, EPA Emergency Response Plan Template and Instructions for AWIA of 2018.\nNew Jersey Department of Environmental Protection\nDivision of Water Supply & Geoscience\nMail Code 401-04Q\nP.O.
