Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 725 - INTERIM STATUS STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart D - CONTINGENCY PLAN AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES › Section 725.152 - 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
				725.151
				and
				725.156 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 federal Spill Prevention Control and
				Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with 40 CFR 112, or some other
				emergency or contingency plan, it needs 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
				  yosemite.epa.gov/oswer/Ceppoweb.nsf/content/serc-lepc-publications.htm.
c) The plan must describe
				arrangements agreed to by local police department, fire departments, hospitals,
				contractors, and State and local emergency response teams to coordinate
				emergency services, pursuant to Section
				725.137.
d) The plan must list names, addresses, and
				phone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency
				coordinator (see Section
				725.155 ),
				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.
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 alternate evacuation routes (in
				cases where the primary routes could be blocked by releases of hazardous waste
				or fires).
