Department of Corrections Plant Managers and Safety Officers Training The Department of Corrections (DOC) did not have adequate procedures for damage assessments following an earthquake. This was a difficult situation for our prison facilities. After an earthquake someone who is knowledgeable about structures is required to go through and evaluate the condition of each of our buildings before anyone can re-enter the building. Keeping offenders and staff out in the yard until the buildings could be assessed created serious security issues for the prison facilities. . The Plant Managers and Safety Officers Training Team (PMSOT) was formed. Consistent procedures for assessing and processes for reporting natural disaster damages were developed. Training was designed which was tailored to the plant manager’s needs for post-disaster assessments in our correctional facilities. On February 28, 2001, the 6.8 Nisqually Earthquake rocked the Puget Sound Region and much of the state. Before the PMSOT, no facilities had the capability to conduct in-house assessments (0%). After the Nisqually Earthquake, every affected facility had an assessment done by in-house staff (100%). Those assessments enabled offenders and staff to re-enter buildings in a timely manner, ensuring the security of our prison facilities. The assessments also resulted in the following measurable results. Results ! DOC was one of the first state agencies to submit preliminary damage assessment reports to begin the process of damage repair through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). ! DOC had a 100% success rate; every FEMA project worksheet the Department submitted was approved. ! This totaled a return of $1,972,890 for costs of damage repairs.

Department of Corrections Sewage Grinder/Sewage Outflow Meter The Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) received numerous complaints from the City of Gig Harbor regarding the high number of bulk items their sewage treatment plant was receiving from our facility. Types of bulk items included plastic bags, clothing items, etc., which offenders would flush down the toilets. This caused equipment malfunctions for the City. In addition, since WCCW did not have a sewage outflow meter, the City was basing sewer charges on the amount of incoming water the facility received. Since not all incoming water eventually exits via the sewage system, we were being overcharged. As a result, WCCW installed a sewage grinder to grind all effluent before it reached the City sewage treatment plant. WCCW also installed a sewage outflow meter to accurately account for the volume of sewage being sent to the City for treatment. Results ! Reduced the complaints from the City regarding bulk items in our effluent, which caused them mechanical problems, by installation of a sewage grinder. ! Reduced WCCW’s sewer charges by approximately $4,000 per month due to installation of the sewage outflow meter.
