(e) Standby plans as required by this Section shall be submitted to the Department upon request within 30 days of the receipt of such request; such standby plans shall be subject to review and approval by the Department.

Such revised plan will thereafter be the standby plan which the person responsible will put into effect upon the issuance of an appropriate order by the Governor.
