Wis. Admin. Code Department of Natural Resources NR 662.261

Current through August 26, 2024
Section NR 662.261 - Content of contingency plan
(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.
