Section R315-262-261 - Preparedness, Prevention, and Emergency Procedures for Large Quantity Generators - Content of Contingency Plan(a) The contingency plan shall describe the actions facility personnel shall take to comply with Sections R315-262-260 and 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.(b) If the generator has already prepared a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with 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 Rule R315-262. The generator may develop one contingency plan that meets all regulatory standards. The plan should be based on the National Response Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance, "One Plan."(c) 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, pursuant to Section R315-262-256.(d) The plan shall list names and emergency telephone numbers of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see Section R315-262-264), 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, e.g., operations manager, shift coordinator, shift operations supervisor, as well as an emergency telephone number that can be guaranteed to be answered at all times.(e) 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.(f) The plan shall include an evacuation plan for generator personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This plan shall 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.Utah Admin.
