				  ignitable or reactive waste. This waste must be separated and protected from
				  sources of ignition or reaction including but not limited to: open flames,
				  smoking, cutting and welding, hot surfaces, frictional heat, sparks (static,
				  electrical, or mechanical), spontaneous ignition (e.g., from heat producing
				  chemical reactions), and radiant heat. While ignitable or reactive waste is
				  being handled, the owner or operator must confine smoking and open flame to
				  especially designated locations. "No Smoking" signs must be conspicuously
				  placed wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste.
(b) Where specifically required by other
				  sections of this part, the treatment, storage, or disposal of ignitable or
				  reactive wastes, and the mixture or commingling of incompatible waste or
				  incompatible wastes and other materials, must be conducted so that it does not:
				  (amended 11/90)
(1) Generate extreme heat or
				  pressure, fire or explosions, or violent reactions;
(2) Produce uncontrolled toxic mists, fumes,
				  dusts, or gases in sufficient quantities to threaten human health or the
				  environment;
(3) Produce
				  uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities to pose a risk
				  of fire or explosions;
(4) Damage
				  the structural integrity of the device or facility containing the waste;
				  or
(5) Through other like means
				  threaten human health or the environment.

				  any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous
				  waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water.
(b) The provisions of the plan must be
				  carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of
				  hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents which could threaten human
				  health or the environment.
South Carolina Code of Regulations › Chapter 61 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL › Subchapter 61-79 - Hazardous Waste Management Regulations › Part 61-79.265 - INTERIM STATUS STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES › Subpart D - CONTINGENCY PLAN AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES › Section 61-79.265.D.52 - Content of contingency plan

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) The contingency plan must describe the
				  actions facility personnel must take to comply with Sections265.51 and 265.56
				  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 (SPCC) Plan in accordance with 40 CFR part 112, or some other
				  emergency or contingency plan, he need only amend that plan to incorporate
				  hazardous waste management provisions that are sufficient to comply with the
				  requirements of this part. The owner or operator may develop one contingency
				  plan which meets all regulatory requirements. 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-RCRA provisions in an
				  integrated contingency plan, the changes do not trigger the need for a RCRA
				  permit modification.
(c) 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 265.37.
(d) The plan must list names, addresses, and
				  phone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency
				  coordinator (see Section265.55) and this list must be kept up to date. Where
				  more than one person 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.
(e)
				  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.
(f) The plan must include an evacuation plan
				  for facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be
				  necessary. This plan must describe signal(s) 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.)

				  Applicable regulations are revised;
(b) The plan fails in an emergency;
(c) The facility changes --in its design,
				  construction, operation, maintenance, or other circumstances --in a way that
				  materially increases the potential for fires, explosions, or releases of
				  hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents, or changes the response
				  necessary in an emergency.
(d) The
				  list of emergency coordinators changes; or
(e) The list of emergency equipment
				  changes.

					 characteristics of waste handled, the location of all records within the
					 facility, and the facility layout. In addition, this person must have the
					 authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the contingency
					 plan.
[Comment: The emergency coordinator's responsibilities are

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a) Within one year
				  after the effective date of these regulations, the owner or operator of a
				  surface impoundment, landfill, or land treatment facility which is used to
				  manage hazardous waste must implement a groundwater monitoring program capable
				  of determining the facility's impact on the quality of groundwater in the
				  uppermost aquifer underlying the facility, except as section265.1 and paragraph
				  (c) of this section provide otherwise.
(b) Except as paragraphs (c) and (d) of this
				  Section provide otherwise, the owner or operator must install, operate, and
				  maintain a groundwater monitoring system which meets the requirements of
				  Section265.91, and must comply with Sections265.92 through 265.94. This
				  groundwater monitoring program must be carried out during the active life of
				  the facility, and for disposal facilities, during the post-closure care period
				  as well.
(c) All or part of the
				  groundwater monitoring requirements of this Subpart may be waived if the owner
				  or operator can demonstrate that there is a low potential for migration of
				  hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents from the facility via the
				  uppermost aquifer to water supply wells (domestic, industrial, or agricultural)
				  or to surface water. This demonstration must be in writing and must be kept at
				  the facility. This demonstration must be certified by a qualified geologist or
				  geotechnical engineer and must establish the following:
(1) The potential for migration of hazardous
				  waste or hazardous constituents from the facility to the uppermost, aquifer, by
				  an evaluation of:
(i) A water balance of
				  precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff, and infiltration; and
(ii) Unsaturated zone characteristics (i.e.,
				  geologic materials, physical properties, and depth to groundwater);
				  and

(1) Monitoring wells (at least one) installed
				  hydraulically upgradient (i.e., in the direction of increasing static head)
				  from the limit of the waste management area. Their number, locations, and
				  depths must be sufficient to yield groundwater samples that are:
(i) Representative of background groundwater
				  quality in the uppermost aquifer near the facility; and
(ii) Not affected by the facility;
				  and
