NR 662.254(2)(2) In the event there is just one employee on the premises while the facility is operating, the employee shall have immediate, direct, and unimpeded access to a device, such as a telephone, immediately available at the scene of operation, or a hand-held two-way radio, capable of summoning external emergency assistance, unless such a device is not required under s. NR 662.252.

NR 662.255NR 662.255 Required aisle space. The large quantity generator shall maintain aisle space to allow the unobstructed movement of personnel, fire protection equipment, spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment to any area of facility operation in an emergency, unless aisle space is not needed for any of these purposes.

NR 662.256(1)(1) The large quantity generator shall attempt to make arrangements with the local police department, fire department, other emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, equipment suppliers, and local hospitals, taking into account the types and quantities of hazardous wastes handled at the facility. Arrangements may be made with the local emergency planning committee if it is determined to be the appropriate organization with which to make arrangements. A large quantity generator shall attempt to make arrangements by taking all of the following actions:

NR 662.256(1)(a)(a) A large quantity generator attempting to make arrangements with its local fire department shall determine the potential need for the services of the local police department, other emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, equipment suppliers and local hospitals.

NR 662.256(1)(b)(b) As part of this coordination, the large quantity generator shall attempt to make arrangements, as necessary, to familiarize the above organizations with the layout of the facility, the properties of the hazardous waste handled at the facility and associated hazards, places where personnel would normally be working, entrances to roads inside the facility, and possible evacuation routes as well as the types of injuries or illnesses that could result from fires, explosions, or releases at the facility.

NR 662.256(1)(c)(c) Where more than one police or fire department might respond to an emergency, the large quantity generator shall attempt to make arrangements designating primary emergency authority to a specific fire or police department, and arrangements with any others to provide support to the primary emergency authority.

NR 662.256(2)(2) The large quantity generator shall maintain records documenting the arrangements with the local fire department as well as any other organization necessary to respond to an emergency. This documentation shall include documentation in the operating record that either confirms such arrangements actively exist or, in cases where no arrangements exist, confirms that attempts to make such arrangements were made.

NR 662.256(3)(3) A facility possessing 24-hour response capabilities may seek a waiver from the authority having jurisdiction over the fire code within the facility’s state or locality as far as needing to make arrangements with the local fire department as well as any other organization necessary to respond to an emergency, provided that the waiver is documented in the operating record.

NR 662.260(1)(1) A large quantity generator shall have a contingency plan for the facility. The contingency plan shall be designed to minimize hazards to human health or the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water.

NR 662.260(2)(2) The provisions of the plan shall be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could threaten human health or the environment.

NR 662.261(1)(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.

NR 662.261(2)(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.”

NR 662.261(3)(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.

NR 662.261(4)(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.

NR 662.261(5)(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.

NR 662.261(6)(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.

NR 662.262NR 662.262 Copies of contingency plan. A copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to the plan shall be maintained at the large quantity generator. The contingency plan is also subject to the following requirements:

NR 662.262(1)(1) The large quantity generator shall submit a copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to all local emergency responders, such as police departments, fire departments, hospitals and state and local emergency response teams that may be called upon to provide emergency services. This document may also be submitted to the local emergency planning committee, as appropriate.

NR 662.262(2)(2) A large quantity generator that first becomes subject to these provisions after May 30, 2017 or a large quantity generator that is otherwise amending its contingency plan shall at that time submit a quick reference guide of the contingency plan to the local emergency responders identified under sub. (1) or, as appropriate, the local emergency planning committee. The quick reference guide shall include all of the following elements:

NR 662.262(2)(a)(a) The types and names of hazardous wastes in layman’s terms and the hazard associated with each hazardous waste present at any one time, such as toxic paint wastes, spent ignitable solvent, or corrosive acid.
