Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part V - Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Materials › Subpart 1 - Department of Environmental Quality-Hazardous Waste › Chapter 10 - Generators of Hazardous Waste › Subchapter D - Preparedness, Prevention and Emergency Procedures for Large Quantity Generators › Section V-1053 - Content of Contingency Plan

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A.
					 The contingency plan shall describe the actions facility personnel shall take
					 to comply with Sections 1051 of this Subchapter in response to fires,
					 explosions, or any unplanned sudden or nonsudden 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  40 CFR part 112, 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 Chapter.
					 The generator may develop one contingency plan that meets all regulatory
					 standards. EPA recommends that the plan be based on the National Response
					 Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance (i.e., one plan).
C. The plan shall 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, in
					 accordance with Section 1049 of this Subchapter.
D. The plan shall list names and telephone
					 numbers of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see Section
					 1059 of this Subchapter), 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 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 staff 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 shall include a
					 list of all emergency equipment at the facility (e.g., 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 physical description of each item on the list, and a
					 brief outline of its capabilities.
F. The plan shall include an evacuation plan
					 for generator 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).
