Smith <br /> ■ Operation and maintenance; and <br /> ■ May include capital and operational needs for risk management <br /> As part of this task,CDM Smith will facilitate one (1)workshop (to be conducted over a one (1) day <br /> period)with Utility staff across the water treatment,pumping,distribution,and other units to <br /> qualitatively conduct the initial risk and resilience assessment.The workshop is anticipated to take <br /> place after the initial threat characterization is completed.The deliverable from this workshop is a <br /> populated risk matrix for hazards and critical assets (with a focus on above-ground assets)which <br /> will provide the basis for creation of the threat-asset pairs as defined in the AWWA J100 Guidance <br /> Document. <br /> Assets may be categorized into broad groups as necessary to move the discussion forward. <br /> Stakeholder workshops provide an efficient method to gather institutional knowledge about <br /> hazards,risks,and resilience from stakeholders by: <br /> ■ Understanding connections between ongoing issues and challenges,hazards,and current <br /> plans or actions <br /> ■ Identifying vulnerabilities to inform the risk and resilience profiles for the threat-asset pairs <br /> under j100 <br /> ■ Developing and prioritizing actions to improve resilience that inform the Emergency <br /> Response Plan <br /> The J100 guidance recommends that a core team of individuals collaborate at these workshops, <br /> including members from security,safety,treatment/distribution, 0&M, engineering,and <br /> information technology(IT).Additional stakeholders may include legal,human resources (HR), <br /> customer service,finance,laboratory,and local first responders. <br /> CDM Smith proposes modifying the assets to match categories required under the AWIA(such as <br /> pipes and constructed conveyances,physical barriers,source water,etc.).The hazards analysis will <br /> include the following hazards (or threats): <br /> ■ Malicious acts <br /> ■ Natural hazards <br /> ■ Accidental/intentional (source to finished)water contamination <br /> ■ Vandalism and tampering of storage/pumping facilities <br /> ■ Distribution system incursions <br /> ■ Facility intrusions <br /> ■ Employee assaults/threats/pandemic <br /> ■ Drone/other physical attacks <br /> 10 � Page <br />
