Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan The Home Depot Store#6660 2 Purpose and Scope Store#6660 is registered as a state of California LQG and has the potential to exceed LQG thresholds. Therefore, the Site is required to prepare and maintain a Contingency Plan for the Store. This Plan is designed to minimize hazards to human health and the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non- sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents into air, soil, or surface water. The provisions of this plan must be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents which could threaten human health and/or the environment. 2.1 Contingency Plan Requirements As required by 40 CFR 262.34(b), "A generator of 1,000 kilogram or greater of hazardous waste in a calendar month or greater than 1 kg of acute hazardous waste..." must fulfill the requirements in 40 CFR 265 Subpart D which states, "each owner or operator must have a contingency plan for his facility. The contingency plan must 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." In California Code of Regulations (CCR)Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapter 15 (22 CCR 66265 Article 4), the California Environmental Protection Agency (CaIEPA) incorporates 40 CFR 265 and its appendices. The Plan has been prepared in accordance with applicable federal and CaIEPA regulations and guidance for hazardous waste contingency plans (40 CFR 265 and 22 CCR 66265). Understanding and implementing this Plan will ensure that personnel are familiar with the Site's response procedures for fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil or surface water. It will also make them aware of hazardous waste spill prevention and response procedures, as well as related regulatory requirements. This Plan includes: • Contact information (name, address, phone number)for primary and alternate emergency coordinators; • A list of emergency equipment and capabilities; • A figure showing where the equipment is located; • An evacuation plan listing primary and alternate evacuation routes; • Emergency response steps for incidents involving hazardous waste at the Store; • Hazard classifications, emergency action, and evacuation procedures; • Response functions and support organizations (both internal and external resources); and • A description of the required reporting documentation and investigative follow-up for a hazardous waste incident. Activities that represent a potential hazard from fire, explosion, or release due to hazardous waste storage at the Store are minimal. Any hazardous waste generated is stored in the 90-day hazardous waste storage areas, referred to as the Handling Hazardous Materials (HHM) or Handling Hazardous Materials Automation (HHMA) Central Storage Areas (CSAs). There is one HHM CSA located in the Receiving Area. There are two Satellite Accumulation Areas in the building. One is located in the Tool Rental Center(TRC) and the other is located in the Garden Center(Figure 2). www.arcadis.com 2
