Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 11 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Subtitle 1 - GENERAL DEPARTMENTAL PROVISIONS › Chapter 262.1 - HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT: STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO GENERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE › Subpart M - Preparedness, Prevention, and Emergency Procedures for Large Quantity Generators › Section 11-262.261 - Content of contingency plan

Current through June, 2024
(a) The contingency
				  plan must describe the actions facility personnel must take to comply with
				  §§ 262.260 and 262.265 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
				  part 112 of this chapter, or some other emergency or contingency plan, it need
				  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. [The] state
				  department of health recommends that the plan be based on the National Response
				  Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance (''One Plan'').
(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, if applicable, the Local Emergency Planning Committee, pursuant
				  to § 262.256.
(d) The plan
				  must list names and emergency telephone numbers of all persons qualified to act
				  as emergency coordinator (see § 262.264), 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. In situations where 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 can be guaranteed to 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. 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 generator personnel where there is
				  a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This plan must describe
				  signal(s) 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).
