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. THIS IS A MATTER FOR RECORD PURPOSES ONLY NO FORMAL BOARD ACTION TAKEN . . .a = Contra Costa County Health Services Department ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH/HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TO: C.L. Van Marter DATE: 24 OCT 95 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.
