Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The contingency plan shall describe the
				  actions facility personnel shall take to comply with sections
				  66264.51 and
				  66264.56 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 Title 40 CFR Part 112 , or Part 1510, 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 chapter.
(c) The plan shall 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
				  66264.37.
(d) The plan shall list names, addresses, and
				  phone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency
				  coordinator (see section
				  66264.55), and this list shall be
				  kept up to date. Where more than one person is listed, one shall be named as
				  primary emergency coordinator and others shall be listed in the order in which
				  they will assume responsibility as alternates. For new facilities, this
				  information shall be supplied to the Department at the time of certification
				  (see section
				  66270.14), rather than at the time
				  of permit application.
(e) The plan
				  shall 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 shall be kept up to date. In addition, the
				  plan shall include the location and a physical description of each item on the
				  list, and a brief outline of its capabilities.
(f) The plan shall include an evacuation plan
				  for facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be
				  necessary. This plan shall 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).
(g) The plan shall include the current
				  telephone number of the State Office of Emergency Services.
