NR 661.0420(3)(b)(b) Submitted to all local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, and state and local emergency response teams that may be called upon to provide emergency services. NR 661.0420(4)(4) Amendment of contingency plan. The contingency plan shall be reviewed, and immediately amended, if necessary, whenever any the following occurs: NR 661.0420(4)(c)(c) The facility changes in its design, construction, operation, maintenance, or other circumstances in a way that materially increases the potential for fires, explosions, or releases of hazardous secondary material or hazardous secondary material constituents, or changes the response necessary in an emergency. NR 661.0420(5)(5) Emergency coordinator. At all times, there shall be at least one employee either on the facility premises or on call and available to respond to an emergency by reaching the facility within a short period of time with the responsibility for coordinating all emergency response measures. This emergency coordinator shall be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the facility’s contingency plan, all operations and activities at the facility, the location and characteristics of waste handled, the location of all records within the facility, and the facility layout. In addition, this person shall have the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the contingency plan. The emergency coordinator’s responsibilities are more fully explained in sub. (6). Applicable responsibilities for the emergency coordinator vary, depending on factors such as type and variety of hazardous secondary material handled by the facility, and type and complexity of the facility. NR 661.0420(6)(a)(a) Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the emergency coordinator, or the designee when the emergency coordinator is on call, shall immediately do all of the following: NR 661.0420(6)(a)1.1. Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems, where applicable, to notify all facility personnel. NR 661.0420(6)(a)2.2. Notify appropriate state or local agencies with designated response roles if their help is needed. NR 661.0420(6)(b)(b) Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency coordinator shall immediately identify the character, exact source, amount, and areal extent of any released materials. The emergency coordinator may do this by observation or review of facility records or manifests and, if necessary, by chemical analysis. NR 661.0420(6)(c)(c) Concurrently, the emergency coordinator shall assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the release, fire, or explosion. This assessment shall consider both direct and indirect effects of the release, fire, or explosion, such as the effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating gases that are generated, or the effects of any hazardous surface water run-offs from water or chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced explosions. NR 661.0420(6)(d)(d) If the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has had a release, fire, or explosion that could threaten human health, or the environment outside the facility, the emergency coordinator shall report their findings as follows: NR 661.0420(6)(d)1.1. If the emergency coordinator’s assessment indicates that evacuation of local areas may be advisable, the emergency coordinator shall immediately notify appropriate local authorities. The emergency coordinator shall be available to help appropriate officials decide whether local areas should be evacuated. NR 661.0420(6)(d)2.2. The emergency coordinator shall immediately notify either the government official designated as the on-scene coordinator for that geographical area, or the National Response Center using their 24-hour toll free number 800-424-8802. The report shall include all of the following: NR 661.0420(6)(e)(e) During an emergency, the emergency coordinator shall take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other hazardous secondary material at the facility. These measures shall include, where applicable, stopping processes and operations, collecting and containing released material, and removing or isolating containers. NR 661.0420(6)(f)(f) If the facility stops operations in response to a fire, explosion or release, the emergency coordinator shall monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or other equipment, wherever this is appropriate. NR 661.0420(6)(g)(g) Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator shall provide for treating, storing, or disposing of recovered secondary material, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results from a release, fire, or explosion at the facility. Unless the hazardous secondary material generator can demonstrate, in accordance with s. NR 661.0003 (3) or (4), that the recovered material is not a hazardous waste, the owner or operator becomes a generator of hazardous waste and shall manage it in accordance with all applicable requirements under chs. NR 662, 663, and 665. NR 661.0420(6)(h)(h) The emergency coordinator shall ensure that, in the affected area of the facility, all of the following conditions are met: NR 661.0420(6)(h)1.1. No secondary material that may be incompatible with the released material is treated, stored, or disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed. NR 661.0420(6)(h)2.2. All emergency equipment listed in the contingency plan is cleaned and fit for its intended use before operations are resumed. NR 661.0420(6)(i)(i) The hazardous secondary material generator shall note in the operating record the time, date, and details of any incident that requires implementing the contingency plan. Within 15 days after the incident, the hazardous secondary material generator shall submit a written report on the incident to the department. The report shall include all of the following: NR 661.0420(6)(i)1.1. Name, address, and telephone number of the hazardous secondary material generator. NR 661.0420(6)(i)6.6. An assessment of actual or potential hazards to human health or the environment, where this is applicable. NR 661.0420(6)(i)7.7. Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material that resulted from the incident. NR 661.0420(7)(7) Personnel Training. All employees shall be thoroughly familiar with proper waste handling and emergency procedures relevant to their responsibilities during normal facility operations and emergencies.
