Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-54 - General Facility Standards-New Facilities › Section 3745-54-52 - Content of contingency plan

Current through all regulations
			 passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The contingency plan
			 shall
			 describe the actions facility personnel shall take to
			 comply with rules
			 3745-54-51
			 and
			 3745-54-56
			 of the Administrative Code 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 Plan" in accordance
			 with 40 CFR Part 112 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
			  Chapters 3745-54 to
			 3745-57 and 3745-205 of the Administrative Code. The owner or operator may
			 develop one contingency plan which meets all regulatory requirements. Ohio EPA
			 recommends that the plan be based on the "National Response Team's Integrated
			 Contingency Plan Guidance" ("One Plan"). When modifications are made to
			 non-hazardous waste management provisions in an integrated contingency plan,
			 the changes do not trigger the need for a hazardous waste management permit
			 modification.
(C) The contingency
			 plan shall describe arrangements with
			 local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, contractors, and
			 state and local emergency response teams to
			 coordinate emergency services, pursuant to rule
			 3745-54-37
			 of the Administrative Code.
(D) The
			 contingency plan shall list names, home
			 addresses, and 
								home or cellular telephone numbers of all persons
			 qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see rule
			 3745-54-55
			 of the Administrative Code), and this list shall be kept up
			 to date. Where more than one person is listed, one person
			 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 submitted to the director at the time of
			 issuance of an Ohio hazardous waste permit, rather than at the time of permit
			 application.
(E) The contingency
			 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 contingency plan shall include the
			 location and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief
			 outline of its capabilities.
(F)
			 The contingency plan shall include an evacuation plan for facility
			 personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This
			 evacuation plan shall 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).
