Contingency Plan

Facility Name

This plan is reviewed annually and amended whenever changes occur that will significantly affect the ability of this facility to respond to an emergency situation. This includes revision of the regulations, if the plan fails in an emergency, if this facility changes in a way that materially increases the potential for an emergency or changes in the response necessary in an emergency, if the list of emergency coordinators changes or if the list of emergency equipment changes.  When warranted, revisions are made to the plan within 24 hours.

Purpose and Scope of Plan
Although this facility is designed, constructed, maintained and operated in a manner that minimizes the possibility for emergency incidents such as fire, explosions and any unplanned sudden or non- sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil or surface water, this plan is designed to minimize hazards to human health and the environment in the unlikely event of such incidents. This plan is designed to satisfy the requirements of the Colorado Hazardous Waste Regulations (6 CCR 1007-3 Sections 262.34(a)(4) and 265.50-265.56 ) and the following regulations:

Overview of Facility Operations, Wastes, and Processes Generating Wastes
Briefly describe what operations occur at your facility, then list the processes you have and what hazardous wastes are generated from each (for example: Corrosion protection and painting of replacement aircraft parts; conversion coating on aluminum – F019 sludge, painting operations – F005 spent lacquer thinner).

Emergency Response Coordinator
At all times, there must be at least one employee either on the facility premises or on-call to respond to an emergency by coordinating all emergency response measures. The duties and responsibilities for emergency response are covered in Section 8 of this plan.

The Emergency Response Coordinator (or alternate) has full authority to commit resources needed to respond to emergencies at this facility and to direct other trained employees to assist in the implementation of this contingency plan.

A list of emergency response coordinator(s), spill response team members (if designated) and first aid specialists (if designated) is included in Appendix A. A list of the available emergency equipment, its location and capabilities is included in Appendix B.

Coordinated Emergency Services with Off-Site Emergency Responders

This facility is not within an established fire protection district.  We have developed our own fire protection and prevention plan based on the Uniform Fire Code, the National Fire Code, the Uniform Building Code and 29 CFR Chapter XVII, part 1910, subpart L, Fire Protection. This plan has been reviewed and approved by a registered professional engineer experienced in fire protection. The plan has also been approved by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division and is included in Appendix C.

OR

This facility is within an established fire protection district.

Name of Fire Protection District

Briefly describe arrangements with the local fire department, police department, hospitals, response contractors, and/or State and local emergency response teams, including how to obtain assistance, what assistance will be provided, and designation of the primary emergency response authority.  The table in Appendix D may substitute for a written description.

1  A list of LEPCs can be found at http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/oeis/SARA/lepclist.html.

The roles and responsibilities of internal and external responders should be defined and clarified by these agreements. Written agreements, if obtained, are included in Appendix E. If any State or local authorities declined to provide emergency response assistance, this has been documented in the facility operating record and may also be included in Appendix E.

This facility has contracted for the services of a spill response contractor.

Name of Spill Response Contractor

Briefly describe arrangements with the spill response contractor, including when to call for assistance, how to call for assistance and what response services will be provided. More detailed information may be provided in Appendix F.

Evacuation Plans
Description of evacuation plans including signal(s) to be used, primary and secondary evacuation routes, and safe assembly areas (if designated). Facility diagrams with evacuation routes annotated may substitute for the written description and should be included in Appendix G.

Location of 90-day and Satellite Accumulation Areas
The location of all (permanent and temporary) 90-day container and/or tank storage areas and satellite accumulation areas must be designated in the contingency plan. Facility diagrams with accumulation/storage areas annotated may be included in Appendix H or you may include a list of storage areas below (for example: Building 10, Room 19 – 90-day storage area; Room 32A – 3 satellite accumulation areas; Lab 11 – 1 satellite accumulation area).
