Section V-1055 - Copies of Contingency Plan

A. A copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to the plan shall be maintained at the large quantity generator's facility.

B. The large quantity generator shall submit a copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to all local emergency responders (i.e., police departments, fire departments, hospitals, and state and local emergency response teams that may be called upon to provide emergency services). This document may also be submitted to the local emergency planning committee, as appropriate.

C. A large quantity generator that first becomes subject to these provisions after July 20, 2020, or a large quantity generator that is otherwise amending its contingency plan shall at that time submit a quick reference guide of the contingency plan to the local emergency responders identified at Subsection B of this Section or, as appropriate, the local emergency planning committee. The quick reference guide shall include:

1. the types/names of hazardous wastes in layman's terms and the hazard associated with each hazardous waste present at any one time (e.g., toxic paint waste, spent ignitable solvent, corrosive acid);

2. the estimated maximum amount of each hazardous waste that may be present at any one time;

3. the identification of any hazardous waste where exposure would require unique or special treatment by medical or hospital staff;

4. a map of the facility showing areas where hazardous wastes are generated, accumulated and treated and routes for accessing these wastes;

a. in the case of satellite accumulation areas that are designed for managing small quantities of waste at multiple locations throughout a facility, identification of the general waste-generation locations is acceptable;

b. short-term (i.e., temporary) central accumulation units used for no more than 90 days (unless in compliance with the accumulation time limit extension or F006 waste accumulation conditions for exemption in Subsections C through F of LAC 33:V.1015) that are primarily event related (e.g., maintenance events, spill cleanups, etc.) need not be identified in the quick reference guide or contingency plan;

5. a street map of the facility in relation to surrounding businesses, schools, and residential areas to understand how best to get to the facility and also evacuate citizens and workers;

6. the locations of water supply (e.g., fire hydrant and its flow rate);

7. the identification of on-site notification systems (e.g., fire alarm that rings off-site, smoke alarms); and

8. the name of the emergency coordinator(s) and 7/24-hour emergency telephone number(s) or, in the case of a facility where an emergency coordinator is continuously on duty, the emergency telephone number for the emergency coordinator.

D. Generators shall update, if necessary, their quick reference guides, whenever the contingency plan is amended and submit these documents to the local emergency responders identified in Subsection B of this Section or, as appropriate the local emergency planning committee.
