State Response. The State will either concur with a consistency certification for a project, concur with stipulations, or object to a consistency certification. A State objection to a consistency certification must meet the requirements of 15 CFR 930.64. Concurrence with stipulations does not obligate the FS to carry the stipulations on its permit.
State Response. The State of Arizona can provide assistance for hazardous materials incidents to San Luis, Arizona, and San Xxxx Río Colorado, Sonora, if the combined PRP and local capabilities or resources prove to be insufficient, incapable or inadequate. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) will appoint a State On Scene Coordinator (SOSC) who will assist the Incident Commander by providing and overseeing needed State resources. In Sonora, Civil Protection in San Xxxx Río Colorado notifies Civil Protection at the State of Sonora level when an incident occurs. If necessary, Civil Protection at the state level will respond with appropriate resources.
State Response. If the requesting jurisdiction invokes the Statewide Mutual Aid Program, the reimbursement requirements are established in state law. If the requesting jurisdiction has a separate mutual aid agreement in effect and invokes it in either a Tier I or Tier II activation, the reimbursement arrangements must be set forth in the written mutual aid agreement. Those reimbursement arrangements may vary widely from agreement to agreement, as long as the agreements are authorized under state law and are approved by the Attorney General. The parties may also consider adopting the “24 hour rule” in which reimbursement is not triggered until a deployment has lasted for two 12 hour shifts. This arrangement might be appropriate among the neighboring jurisdictions in Tier I or whenever the requesting jurisdiction has a desire to minimize its obligations for reimbursement. Mutual aid agreements are designed to provide a legal framework for a collaborative response to disasters. The template that follows merely provides a sample agreement. However, mutual aid agreements function within a larger planning and organizing effort. As strategies are developed and task forces stand up, mutual aid agreements will need to address the needs of responders and participating jurisdictions on an ongoing basis. They will need to be refined and revised in response to an ever changing environment characterized by the emergence of new threats and new opportunities. The governing body of each participating jurisdiction must grant approval of the mutual aid agreement in accordance with the established procedures of that jurisdiction concerning entering in to legal agreements. The agreement must be signed by the official or officials authorized by the governing bodies of that jurisdiction to sign such agreements. If prior approval of the governing body is required, the official authorized by the governing body to enter into the agreement must sign the agreement after, not before, the governing body has given its approval.
State Response. The State of Arizona can provide assistance for hazardous materials incidents to Naco, Arizona and Naco, Sonora if the responsible party and local capabilities or resources prove to be insufficient, incapable or inadequate. The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) is the primary state agency for criminal and transportation-related incidents in Arizona. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is the primary state agency for non-transportation related incidents and would be the scientific advisor and technical assistant for transportation related incidents having environmental consequences. The primary agency will appoint a State On-Scene Coordinator (SOSC) who will assist the Incident Commander by providing and overseeing needed State resources, as available. The Arizona Division of Emergency Management (ADEM) manages the state Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and can assist in providing necessary resources for an incident. In Sonora, Civil Protection in Naco notifies Civil Protection at the State of Sonora level when an incident occurs. As necessary, Civil Protection at the state level will respond with appropriate resources.
