DATE: November 7, 1995 MATTER OF RECORD
------------------------------------------------------------------
Lewis G. Pascalli, Jr. , Deputy Director, and Dr. William
Walker, Medical Director, announced that the Contra Costa County
HazMat Incident Response Team had successfully competed against a
number of other HazMat Incident Response Teams around the State to
"Name that Unknown. " The Contra Costa HazMat Team won the
competition and were awarded the rotating trophy until the next
competition in September 1996.

CAO
FROM: Lewis G. Pascall Jr SUBJ: Presentation before
Deputy Director 7 NOV 95 BOS Meeting
Per our conversation today, I am requesting some time at the
beginning of the 7 NOV 95 BOS meeting for Dr. Walker and I to
present an award to members of the HazMat Incident Response Team.
On 6 SEP 95 Maria Duazo and Paul Andrews competed against a number
of HazMat Incident Response Teams from around the State to "Name
That Unknown" . This is a competition where unknown substances are
given to the teams and using their skills/experience and protocols
they attempt to identify the substance within a specified time
frame. This replicates the situations our HazMat Team runs into
each time (238 in the last year) they respond to a possible
hazardous material spill.
The Contra Costa HazMat Team won the competition and are awarded
the rotating trophy until the next competition in SEP 96.
The residents of Contra Costa should feel confident knowing that
the CCC Health Services Hazardous Materials programs has such
competent and capable team members.
I need to know what time we would need to be at the BOS meeting and
how much time Dr. Walker would have to present.
Please call me.
Thank you.
