North Dakota Administrative Code › Title 33.1 - Department of Environmental Quality › Article 33.1-24 - Hazardous Waste Management › Chapter 33.1-24-05 - Standards for Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities and for the Management of Specific Hazardous Wastes and Specific Types of Hazardous Waste Management Facilities › CONTINGENCY PLAN AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES REQUIREMENTS › Section 33.1-24-05-27 - Content of contingency plan

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
1. The contingency
				  plan must describe the actions facility personnel must take to comply with
				  sections
				  33.1-24-05-26 and
				  33.1-24-05-31 in response to
				  fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or nonsudden release of hazardous
				  waste or hazardous constituents to air, soil, or surface water at the
				  facility.
2. 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 these
				  requirements. The owner or operator may develop one contingency plan which
				  meets all regulatory requirements. The department recommends that the plan be
				  based on the national response team's integrated contingency plan guidance
				  ("one plan"). When modifications are made to nonhazardous waste provisions in
				  an integrated contingency plan, the changes do not trigger the need for a
				  hazardous waste permit modification.
3. The plan must describe arrangements agreed
				  to by local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, contractors, and
				  state and local emergency response teams to coordinate emergency services,
				  pursuant to section
				  33.1-24-05-20.
4. The plan must list names, addresses, and
				  telephone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as
				  emergency coordinator and this list must be kept up to date. Where more than
				  one is listed, one must be named as primary emergency coordinator and others
				  must be listed in the order in which they will assume responsibility as
				  alternates.
5. The plan must
				  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 must be kept up to date. In addition, the plan
				  must include the location and a physical description of each item on the list,
				  and a brief outline of its capabilities.
6. The plan must include an evacuation plan
				  for facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be
				  necessary. This plan must 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.
