1. (a) The owner or operator of a used oil processing/re-refining facility shall have a contingency plan that is designed to minimize hazards to human health or the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of used oil to air, soil, or surface water.
2. (b) The provisions of the contingency plan shall be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of used oil which could threaten human health or the environment.
3. (c) The contingency plan shall describe the actions facility personnel shall take to comply with this section and the emergency procedures in Env-Hw 1408.06 in response to fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of used oil to air, soil, or surface water at the facility.
4. (d) If the owner or operator has a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with 40 CFR 112, or another emergency or contingency plan, the owner or operator may amend that plan to incorporate used oil management provisions that are sufficient to comply with the requirements of this chapter instead of creating a separate plan.

5. (e) The contingency plan shall:

   1. (1) Describe arrangements with local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, contractors, and state and local emergency response teams to coordinate emergency services, pursuant to Env-Hw 1408.04(h);
   2. (2) Provide an up-to-date list of the names and emergency telephone numbers of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator, as described in Env-Hw 1408.06. Where more than one person is listed, one shall be named as primary emergency coordinator and others listed in the order in which they will assume responsibility as alternates;
   3. (3) Provide an up-to-date list of all emergency equipment at the facility, such as fire extinguishing systems, spill control equipment, internal and external communications and alarm systems, and decontamination equipment, including the location and a physical description of each item, and a brief outline of its capabilities; and
   4. (4) Include an evacuation plan for facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This plan shall describe signal(s) to be used to begin evacuation, evacuation routes, and alternate evacuation routes in cases where the primary routes could be blocked by releases of used oil or fires.

6. (f) The owner or operator of a used oil processing/re-refining facility shall prepare a quick reference guide to the contingency plan that includes the following elements:

   1. (1) The properties and hazards associated with used oil handled at the site;
   2. (2) The estimated maximum amount of used oil that might be present at any one time;
   3. (3) The identification of any used oil where exposure would require unique or special treatment by medical or hospital staff;
   4. (4) A map of the facility showing where used oil is accumulated and treated, and routes for accessing the used oil;
   5. (5) A street map of the facility in relation to surrounding businesses, schools, and residential areas to illustrate how to access the facility and also if necessary how to evacuate citizens and workers;
   6. (6) The locations of water supply, such as a fire hydrant and its flow rate;
   7. (7) The identification of on-site notification systems, such as a fire alarm that rings off site or smoke alarms; and
   8. (8) The name of the emergency coordinator(s) and 24-hour emergency telephone number(s).

7. (g) A copy of the contingency plan, quick reference guide, and all revisions thereto shall be:

   1. (1) Maintained at the facility; and
   2. (2) Submitted to the department and to all local police departments, fire departments, hospitals, and state and local emergency response teams that might be called upon to provide emergency services.

8. (h) The contingency plan and quick reference guide shall be reviewed, and immediately amended, if necessary, when:

   1. (1) Applicable regulations are revised;
   2. (2) The plan fails in an emergency;
   3. (3) There are changes to the facility, including in design, construction, operation, or maintenance, that materially increase the potential for fires, explosions, or releases of used oil, or that change the response necessary in an emergency;
   4. (4) The list of emergency coordinators changes; or
   5. (5) The list of emergency equipment changes.
