Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 600-699 - Environmental Protection - Hazardous Waste Management › Chapter NR 662 - Hazardous Waste Generator Standards › Subchapter M - Preparedness, Prevention, and Emergency Procedures for Large Quantity Generators › Section NR 662.261 - Content of contingency plan

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) The contingency
				  plan shall describe the actions facility personnel shall take to comply with
				  ss. NR 662.260 and 662.265 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.
(2) If the generator has already prepared a
				  spill prevention, control, and countermeasures or SPCC plan in accordance with
				  40 CFR part 112, or some other emergency or contingency plan, it need only
				  amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are
				  sufficient to comply with the standards of this chapter. The generator may
				  develop one contingency plan that meets all regulatory standards. The
				  department recommends that the plan be based on the national response team's
				  integrated contingency plan guidance or the "One Plan."
(3) The 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, according
				  to s. NR 662.256.
(4) The plan
				  shall list names and emergency telephone numbers of all persons qualified to
				  act as emergency coordinator under s. NR 662.264, 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 they
				  will assume responsibility as alternates. In situations where the generator
				  facility has an emergency coordinator continuously on duty because it operates
				  24 hours per day, every day of the year, the plan may list the staffed
				  position, such as operations manager, shift coordinator, and shift operations
				  supervisor, as well as an emergency telephone number that can be guaranteed to
				  be answered at all times.
(5) The
				  plan shall include a list of all emergency equipment at the facility, such as
				  fire extinguishing systems, spill control equipment, internal and external
				  communications and internal and external alarm systems, and decontamination
				  equipment, where this equipment is required. This list shall be kept up to
				  date. In addition, the plan shall include the location and a physical
				  description of each item on the list, and a brief outline of its
				  capabilities.
(6) The plan shall
				  include an evacuation plan for generator personnel where there is a possibility
				  that evacuation could be necessary. This plan shall describe the signal to be
				  used to begin evacuation, evacuation routes, and alternate evacuation routes in
				  cases where the primary evacuation routes could be blocked by releases of
				  hazardous waste or fires.
