Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 11 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › Subtitle 1 - GENERAL DEPARTMENTAL PROVISIONS › Chapter 264.1 - HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT: STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Part 264 - STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart D - Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures › Section 11-264.52 - Content of contingency plan

Current through June, 2024
(a) The contingency
					 plan must describe the actions facility personnel must take to comply with
					 §§ 264.51 and 264.56 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 part 112 of this chapter, or some other emergency or
					 contingency plan, he 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 which meets
					 all regulatory requirements. [The] state department of health recommends 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.
(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 § 264.37.
(d) The plan must list names and emergency
					 phone numbers of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see
					 § 264.55), 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
					 director 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 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).
