Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-52 - Generator Standards › Section 3745-52-261 - Content of contingency plan - preparedness, prevention, and emergency procedures for large quantity generators

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 3745-52-260 and 3745-52-265 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 generator has already prepared a "Spill
			 Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan" in accordance with 40 C.F.R.
			 Part 112, or some other emergency or contingency plan, the generator need only
			 amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are
			 sufficient to comply with the standards of Chapter 3745-52 of the
			 Administrative Code. The generator may develop one contingency plan that meets
			 all regulatory standards. Ohio EPA recommends that the plan be based on the
			 "National Response Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance" ("One
			 Plan").
(C)
								The contingency 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, pursuant to rule
			 3745-52-256 of the Administrative Code.
(D)
								The contingency
			 plan shall list names and emergency telephone numbers of all persons qualified
			 to act as emergency coordinator (see rule 3745-52-264 of the Administrative
			 Code) 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 the emergency coordinators shall assume
			 responsibility as alternates. In situations where the generator facility has an
			 emergency coordinator continuously on duty because the facility operates
			 twenty-four hours per day, every day of the year, the plan may list the staffed
			 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 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 the capabilities.
(F)
								The contingency
			 plan shall include an evacuation plan for generator 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).
