Ohio Admin. Code 3745-52-261 - Content of contingency plan - preparedness, prevention, and emergency procedures for large quantity generators
(A)
The contingency
plan shall describe the actions facility personnel shall take to comply with
rules 3745-52-260 and 3745-52-265 of the Administrative Code 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 Plan" in accordance with 40 C.F.R.
Part 112, or some other emergency or contingency plan, the generator need only
amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are
sufficient to comply with the standards of Chapter 3745-52 of the
Administrative Code. The generator may develop one contingency plan that meets
all regulatory standards. Ohio EPA recommends that the plan be based on the
"National Response Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance" ("One
Plan").
(C)
The contingency 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 rule
3745-52-256 of the Administrative Code.
(D)
The contingency
plan shall list names and emergency telephone numbers of all persons qualified
to act as emergency coordinator (see rule 3745-52-264 of the Administrative
Code) 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 the emergency coordinators shall assume
responsibility as alternates. In situations where the generator facility has an
emergency coordinator continuously on duty because the facility operates
twenty-four 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 contingency 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 contingency plan shall include the
location and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief
outline of the capabilities.
(F)
The contingency
plan shall include an evacuation plan for generator personnel where there is a
possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This evacuation plan shall
describe 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).
