Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-65 - Interim Standards-General Provisions › Section 3745-65-52 - 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
			 3745-65-51
			 and
			 3745-65-56
			 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 3745-65 to
			 3745-69 and 3745-256 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 provisions in an integrated contingency plan, the changes
			 do not trigger the need for a hazardous waste 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
			 3745-65-37
			 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
			 3745-65-55
			 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.
(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).
