 6. (1) Plans required by clause 91.1 (b) of the Act to prevent, eliminate or ameliorate any adverse effects that result or may result from spills of pollutants must contain the following, in writing: 1.  For each spill identified under paragraph 1 of subsection 5 (1), an identification of the steps that will be taken to prevent, eliminate or ameliorate any adverse effects that result or may result from the spill, where the identification includes a consideration of the appropriateness of taking each of the following steps: i.  Acquiring spill response equipment. ii.  Installing and maintaining an alarm system or other notification system to alert personnel who operate the plant when the spill occurs and to notify members of the public who may be adversely affected by the spill. 2.  For each spill identified under paragraph 1 of subsection 5 (1) that has the potential to cause an adverse effect at any of the places identified in subparagraphs 4 i to vi and x of subsection 5 (1), an identification of the steps that will be taken to monitor the movement of the pollutants that are spilled and their potential to cause an adverse effect on those places. 3.  The identification of all spills that are non-reportable under subsection (2) that may occur at the plant or relate to the operations of the plant. 4.  Procedures to ensure that notification of a non-reportable spill is given in accordance with subsection 10 (3) of Ontario Regulation 675/98 (Classification and Exemption of Spills) made under the Act, if that subsection applies to the spill. 5.  Procedures to ensure that before a spill occurs, i.  a person who is responsible for implementing plans under this section, and his or her alternate, are identified, ii.  the anticipated circumstances of the spill and its potential adverse effects are assessed and the appropriate level of response is determined, including whether a team needs to be established to respond to the spill, iii.  a spill response team is established, if determined to be necessary under subparagraph ii, iv.  the roles and responsibilities of personnel in responding to a spill are identified and documented, v.  personnel are trained in their roles and responsibilities under subparagraphs iv and vi and paragraphs 6 and 7 and, as appropriate, in the use of spill response equipment and material, and vi.  equipment and material referred to in subparagraphs 6 vi and vii that are needed to respond to the spill are regularly inspected and maintained in a state of readiness to respond to a spill. 6.  Procedures to ensure that, if any spill at or related to the operations of a plant occurs, i.  sections 92 and 93 of the Act are complied with, ii.  relevant persons at the plant, including the persons identified under subparagraph 5 i, are notified of the spill, iii.  the appropriate level of response to the spill determined under subparagraph 5 ii is implemented, iv.  members of the public who may be directly affected by the spill, including any persons who may be at a place identified in subparagraphs 4 i to vi of subsection 5 (1), are notified of the spill, v.  if an alarm system or other notification system is in place, it is operated appropriately, vi.  appropriate equipment, material and personnel are available to monitor the movement of pollutants and the adverse effects of the pollutants for those spills for which steps are identified under paragraph 2, vii.  appropriate equipment, material and personnel are available to immediately respond to the spill, and viii.  wastes generated as a result of the spill and spill response are disposed of appropriately. 7.

(2) A spill that may occur at the plant or relate to the operations of the plant may be identified as a non-reportable spill for the purposes of this Regulation and Ontario Regulation 675/98 if, (a)  the spill is not likely to enter any waters, as defined in subsection 1 (1) of the Ontario Water Resources Act, directly or through drainage structures; (b)  information, including past experience, about the type of spill indicates that, for a specified quantity and quality of the spill and in specified circumstances, the spill would not have the potential to cause adverse effects other than those which can be readily remediated through cleanup and restoration of paved, gravelled or sodded surfaces; and (c)  the quantity, quality and circumstances referred to in clause (b) are specified in the plans.
