We have seen some renewed interest in TEAD/DCD, so I looked up all the info I could find.
We already covered the freqs, here is some good info.
Deseret Chemical Depot, 12 miles S of Tooele, UT
Despite the hazards, the operations are very controlled.
The security is really tight.
Except for routine medical calls, nothing much exciting ever happens.

I used to have a pdf document, obtained online.
It detailed the emergency response procedures or CAIRA Plan:
Deseret Chemical Depot-Chemical Accident/Incident Response and Assistance plan
http://www.orau.gov/eml/csepp/resources/deseret/caira.pdf
I have been unable to locate this document since Sept 2001. Go figure.
It contained detailed information about:
Concept of operations, Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
Intelligence, Notification procedures, Fire and rescue support
As I recall, the plan required an EOC be set up and manned 24 hrs a day.
All local agencies are to be notified in the event of an accident/incident.
(County, State, Federal, & Military).
The Army has developed a contingency emergency response plan
with a trained emergency response team.
Installation emergency response teams serve as the initial response force
for any chemical accident or incident.
The teams are organized into command, response, and support groups.
Installation Emergency Response Team
Organization Group Role Functions
Command: Perform command and control. Legal, public affairs, safety, and chaplain.
Response: Apply and control emergency response resources.
Toxic material handlers, hotline and contamination control, firefighters, and security.
Support: Provide services and supplies to the emergency force.
Administration, communications, transportation and engineering.
Typically, personnel in the response group are referred to as first line
responders. The teams vary in size, depending on the type and quantity
chemical munitions and agents stored as well as the potential threat.
Are staffed with personnel from the chemical activity at each site whose
primary jobs are to monitor the stockpile. Other personnel who provide
day-to-day base operations services, such as public works and information
management, are also team members on a part-time basis. All team
members participate in quarterly exercises and receive training to
ensure they are prepared to respond to a chemical accident or incident.
