ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Utility Committee AGENDA ITEM: DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Public Works DATE SUBMITTED: 3/14/14 PREPARED BY: Sharon J. Duca, P.E., Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: Delaware Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement for Intrastate Water / Wastewater Agency Response Network (DEWARN) REFERENCE: N/A RELATED PROJECT: N/A APPROVALS: City Manager EXHIBITS: Attachment A – DEWARN Agreement EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): N/A TIME TABLE: Upon Council approval, and following review of the DEWARN Agreement by the City Solicitor, the City Manager will execute the agreement and the City of Dover will become a member utility. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorization for the City Manager to execute the DEWARN Agreement. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS Following the events of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and Rita in 2005, and severe flooding in New England and the Midwest in 2007 the need for water and wastewater systems to share resources to overcome disasters became evident. As a result the Water Sector’s professional associations and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Water Security Division (WSD) have been working to have every State establish intrastate mutual aid and assistance agreements between drinking water and wastewater utilities known as Water / Wastewater Agency Response Networks (WARN). The Delaware Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement for Intrastate Water / Wastewater Agency Response Network (DEWARN) has been executed by numerous water and wastewater utilities (public and private) throughout the State. Becoming a member would allow the City of Dover to receive assistance from other members should an emergency occur as well as provide assistance if possible. Emergencies do not need to be catastrophic such as those that led to the formation of the WARN communities but can be any incident which requires emergency response. This agreement would not mandate any obligation to assist other members in the event of an emergency. It simply provides a means for members to assist each other if they are able. A summary of the agreement is provided below: Recognizing that emergencies may require aid or assistance in the form of personnel, equipment, and supplies from outside the area of impact, the signatory utilities hereby establish an Intrastate Program for Mutual Aid and Assistance. Through the Mutual Aid and Assistance Program, Members coordinate response activities and share resources during emergencies. This Agreement sets forth the procedures and standards for the administration of the Intrastate Mutual Aid and Assistance Program across jurisdictional and county boundaries in the State of Delaware. This Mutual Aid Program is limited to Water and Wastewater utilities and in no way affects other mutual aid or other agreements relating to the provision of other types of services in Emergency situations. The participation in this network would be achieved through the Department of Public Works and the City Manager’s Office via Public Affairs & Emergency Management.

Delaware Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement for Intrastate 2 WaterlWastewater Agency Response Network (WARN) 3 4 5 AGREEMENT 6 7 This Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into by public and private Water and 8 Wastewater Utilities (the "Utilities") operating in the State of Delaware, who , by executing this 9 Agreement, manifested their intent to participate in an Intrastate Program for Mutual Aid and 10 Assistance, known as Delaware WaterlWastewater Agency Response Network (DEWARN). II 12 The formation of a mutual aid and assistance network is consistent with Delaware Code, 20 Del. 13 C. § 3203, and Homeland Security Presidential Directives No. 5 (HSPD-5) and No. 8 (HSPD-8). 14 A basic premise of the National Response Plan, as established by HSPD-5, is that state and 15 local resources and interstate mutual aid agreements will provide the first line of emergency 16 response until such time state resources and capab ilities are overwhelmed and Federal 17 assistance is requested . HSPDD-8 calls for regional collaboration through mutual aid 18 agreements and assistance compacts to strengthen preparedness and the capability to respond 19 to, and recover from, emergency srtuations. 20 21 ARTICLE I. 22 PURPOSE 23 24 Recognizing that emergencies may require aid or assistance in the form of personnel, 25 equipment, and supplies from outside the area of impact, the signatory utilities hereby establish 26 an Intrastate Program for Mutual Aid and Assistance. Through the Mutual Aid and Assistance 27 Program, Members coordinate response activities and share resources during emergencies. 28 This Agreement sets forth the procedures and standards for the admin istration of the Intrastate 29 Mutual Aid and Assistance Program across jurisdictional and county boundaries in the State of 30 Delaware. This Mutual Aid Program is limited to Water and Wastewater utilities and in no way 31 affects other mutual aid or other agreements relating to the provision of other types of services 32 in Emergency situations. 33 34 1 DEWARN Agreement (revised 4/25/ 13)
