Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 724 - STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart D - CONTINGENCY PLAN AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES › Section 724.152 - Content of Contingency Plan

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
				contingency plan must describe the actions facility personnel must take to
				comply with Sections
				724.151
				and
				724.156 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 owner or
				operator has already prepared a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures
				(SPCC) Plan in accordance with federal 40 CFR 112, or some other emergency or
				contingency plan, the owner or operator need only amend that plan to
				incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are sufficient to comply
				with the requirements of this Part. The owner or operator may develop one
				contingency plan that meets all regulatory requirements. USEPA has recommended
				that the plan be based on the National Response Team's Integrated Contingency
				Plan Guidance (One Plan). When modifications are made to non-RCRA provisions in
				an integrated contingency plan, the changes do not trigger the need for a RCRA
				permit modification.
BOARD NOTE: The federal One Plan guidance appeared in the
				  Federal Register at 61 Fed. Reg. 28642 (June 5, 1996), and was corrected at 61
				  Fed. Reg. 31103 (June 19, 1996). USEPA, Office of Resource Conservation and
				  Recovery, Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office, has made these
				  documents available on-line for examination and download at
www.epa.gov/emergencie
(search for
				  "one plan" or "integrated contingency plan" documents).
c) The plan must describe arrangements agreed
				to by local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, contractors, and
				state and local emergency response teams to coordinate emergency services
				pursuant to Section
				724.137.
d) The plan must list names, addresses, and
				phone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency
				coordinator (see Section
				724.155 ),
				and this list must be kept 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. For new
				facilities, this information must be supplied to the Agency at the time of
				certification, rather than at the time of permit application.
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. This list
				must be kept 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 facility 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 alternative evacuation routes (in
				cases where the primary routes could be blocked by releases of hazardous waste
				or fires).
