The objective of this agreement is to coordinate the action of LEPC and facility personnel in the event of an emergency. A letter from the LEPC stating that the facility has submitted its emergency plan for incorporation in the municipality's emergency operations plan is sufficient to meet this requirement. Please note that arrangements with hospitals must still be obtained. This is required by the hazardous waste regulations. Notification procedures may be combined as much as feasible, making sure that the notification requirements of all three programs are met.
Most facilities rely on a cleanup contractor to handle off-site discharges.
In such instances, this must be stated in the plan, the name of the organization must be provided, and a list of equipment and personnel available through the organization. The emergency response actions must be specific for the types of substances regulated by each program. A site evacuation plan and a site re-entry and recovery plan must be included. A table of contents must be used to list the page number and heading where the appropriate information may be found in the plan. This section gives a listing of the typical contents of a combined emergency response plan.
