Hazardous Materials Release Response Business Plan TRACY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP INTRODUCTION This dealership handles a number of hazardous materials. They include such products as lubricating oils and a number of different solvents. Waste materials, such as used oil, are also classified as hazardous. Most of the hazardous materials handled in quantity are located in our automotive service(shop) areas. Various state and federal agencies have assembled lengthy lists of hazardous materials. In general, a material is added to one of these lists if it is determined that it has characteristics that pose a significant potential hazard to human health and safety or to the environment if it were to be released into the workplace or the environment. An example is gasoline. It is highly flammable so, if it were spilled, it would present an immediate fire hazard. If a material is not on any list but appears to have hazardous characteristics, it should also be considered a hazardous material. Tracy Dodge Chrysler Jeep wants to ensure that employees are aware of what hazardous materials are present in a significant quantity at the dealership and how these materials should be handled, particularly in an emergency situation. We have, therefore, prepared this business plan. The objectives of the plan are: • To provide the dealership and the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services with an inventory of hazardous materials that are handled at the dealership in excess of regulatory threshold limits. • To promulgate emergency response plans and procedures to be used in the event of a reportable release or threatened release of a hazardous material. • To outline training in hazardous materials handling procedures that will be provided for dealership employees. This training will include both initial and refresher training in emergency response plans and procedures. This plan will be updated annually or within 30 days of one or more of the following events: 1. A 100%or more increase in the quantity of a previously disclosed material. 2. Any handling of a previously undisclosed hazardous material in a quantity equal or greater than 500 lbs., 55 gals or 200 cubic feet of gas (19CCR Sec 2729.4(d). 3. A change of business ownership, business name or business address. A copy of the most recently updated version will be held by the Environmental Compliance Coordinator. Another copy will be submitted to the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services. Questions or comments on this plan should be addressed to the dealership Environmental Compliance Coordinator,Ron Imperiale at(209)820-1800. HMMP-Tracy Dodge Chrysler Jeep 0900vCA 0 KPA,LLC
