Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 600-699 - Environmental Protection - Hazardous Waste Management › Chapter NR 664 - Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage And Disposal Facility Standards › Subchapter D - Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures › Section NR 664.0052 - 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
				  664.0051 and 664.0056 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 owner or operator has already
				  prepared a spill prevention, control and countermeasures (SPCC) plan according
				  to 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 the requirements of this chapter.
				  The owner or operator may develop one contingency plan that meets all
				  regulatory requirements. The department recommends that the plan be based on
				  the national response team's (NRT) integrated contingency plan guidance. 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
				  license modification.
(3) The plan
				  shall 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 s.
				  NR
				  664.0037.
(4) The plan shall list names, addresses and
				  phone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency
				  coordinator (see s.
				  NR 664.0055
				  ), 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. For
				  new facilities, this information shall be supplied to the department at the
				  time of certification, rather than at the time of feasibility and plan of
				  operation report submittal.
(5) The
				  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
				  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 facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be
				  necessary. This plan shall describe the signal or 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).
