Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 722 - STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO GENERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE › Subpart M - PREPAREDNESS, PREVENTION, AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR LARGE QUANTITY GENERATORS › Section 722.361 - Content of Contingency Plan

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
				contingency plan must describe the actions required of facility personnel to
				comply with Sections
				722.360
				and 722.365 in response to fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or
				non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air,
				soil, or surface water at the facility.
b) If the generator has already prepared a
				Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with
				40 CFR 112 or some other emergency or contingency plan, the generator needs
				only amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that
				are sufficient to comply with the standards of this Part. The generator may
				develop one contingency plan that meets all regulatory standards.
BOARD NOTE: USEPA recommends that the plan be based on the
				  National Response Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance ("One Plan"). The
				  National Response Team published the Guidance at 61 Fed. Reg. 28642 (June 5,
				  1996).
c) The plan must
				describe arrangements agreed to with the local police department, fire
				department, other emergency response teams, emergency response contractors,
				equipment suppliers, local hospitals, or the Local Emergency Planning
				Committee, if applicable, pursuant to Section 722.356.
d) The plan must list names and emergency
				telephone numbers of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see
				Section 722.364 ), and the generator must keep this list up to date. Where more
				than one person is listed, one must be named as primary emergency coordinator
				and others must be listed in the order in which they will assume responsibility
				as alternates. If the generator facility has an emergency coordinator
				continuously on duty because it operates 24 hours per day, every day of the
				year, the plan may list the staffed position (e.g., operations manager, shift
				coordinator, shift operations supervisor), as well as an emergency telephone
				number that will be answered at all times.
e) The plan must include a list of all
				emergency equipment at the facility (such as fire extinguishing systems, spill
				control equipment, communications and alarm systems (internal and external),
				and decontamination equipment), where this equipment is required. The generator
				must keep this list up to date. In addition, the plan must include the location
				and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief outline of its
				capabilities.
f) The plan must
				include an evacuation plan for generator personnel where there is a possibility
				that evacuation could be necessary. This plan must describe signals to be used
				to begin evacuation, evacuation routes, and alternate evacuation routes (in
				cases where the primary routes could be blocked by releases of hazardous waste
				or fires).
