NR 679.52 Note
Note: The emergency coordinator's responsibilities are more fully spelled out in par. (f). Applicable responsibilities for the emergency coordinator vary, depending on factors such as type and variety of used oil handled by the facility, and type and complexity of the facility.

NR 679.52(2)(f)1.a.
a. Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems, where applicable, to notify all facility personnel.
NR 679.52(2)(f)1.b.

NR 679.52(2)(f)2.
2. 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 679.52(2)(f)3.
3. 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 (e.g., the effects of any toxic, irritating or asphyxiating gases that are generated, or the effects of any hazardous surface water run-off from water or chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced explosions).
NR 679.52(2)(f)4.
4. If the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has had a release, fire or explosion which could threaten human health, or the environment, outside the facility, the emergency coordinator shall report the findings according to all of the following:
NR 679.52(2)(f)4.a.
a. If the emergency coordinator's assessment indicated 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 679.52(2)(f)4.b.
b. The emergency coordinator shall immediately notify either the government official designated as the on-scene coordinator for the geographical area (in the applicable regional contingency plan under
40 CFR part 300), or the national response center (using its 24-hour toll free number 800/424-8802). The report shall include all of the following:
1) Name and telephone number of reporter.
2) Name and address of facility.
3) Time and type of incident (e.g., release, fire).
4) Name and quantity of materials involved, to the extent known.
5) The extent of injuries, if any.
6) The possible hazards to human health, or the environment, outside the facility.
NR 679.52(2)(f)5.
5. 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 used oil or hazardous waste at the facility. These measures shall include, where applicable, stopping processes and operations, collecting and containing released used oil and removing or isolating containers.
NR 679.52(2)(f)6.
6. If the facility stops operation 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 679.52(2)(f)7.
7. Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator shall provide for recycling, storing or disposing of recovered used oil, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results from a release, fire or explosion at the facility.
