LLNL SITE 300 CONTINGENCY PLAN 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose This Contingency Plan was prepared to minimize negative impacts to human health and the environment from fires, explosions, and unplanned sudden or non-sudden releases of hazardous or toxic waste constituents from the hazardous waste management facilities located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's(LLNL) Experimental Test Site 300(Site 300). This Plan also establishes the relationship of other LLNL emergency plans with this Site 300 Contingency Plan. Hereafter, Site 300's three hazardous waste management facilities—the Building 883 Container Storage Area(CSA), the Explosives Waste Storage Facility(EWSF), and the Explosives Waste Treatment Facility(EWTF) and the closed Building 829 Facility will be collectively referred to as the"Facilities." In addition,the LLNL employees who have functional responsibility for the operation of the Site 300 Facilities will hereafter be referred to as the"Facility Managers"or "Representatives." This Contingency Plan reflects LLNL's emphasis on an ordered,consistent response to unplanned events in that the response actions required,the resources used,and the lists of contacts are much the same for all of the Site 300 Facilities.This Contingency Plan includes Facility-wide planning and addresses general responses in the main body, Sections 1-13,and in Appendices A-F. Individual differences in emergency response planning(because of differences in location,type of waste managed,or organizational headship)are addressed in Appendices I-1 (EWTF), I-2(EWSF),I-3 (CSA)and I-4(B-829)of this Plan. This Contingency Plan replaces all previous hazardous waste facility contingency plans at Site 300. The Contingency Plan has been developed in accordance with requirements of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 264(40 CFR 264),Subparts C and D, and Part 270.14 (40 CFR 270.14);Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations,Parts 66264.50-66264.56 and 66270.14(22 CCR 66264.50-66264.56 and 66270.14); and the LLNL Emergency Plan (UCRL- AM-218588). This Plan outlines the responsibilities and the procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency at a Site 300 Facility. In most cases,the Site 300 emergency service elements are capable of managing operational emergencies at the Site.However,this Contingency Plan may be used in conjunction with the LLNL Emergency Plan(UCRL-AM-218588). The LLNL Emergency Plan is a Laboratory-wide Plan that provides procedures for response to major accidents and disasters,including fires, explosions,hazardous or toxic material and waste releases, and other emergencies that are mitigated by the LLNL Onsite Emergency Response Organization.(The LLNL Emergency Plan [UCRL-AM-218588] and Plan Implementation Procedures are collectively referred to as the Emergency Plan throughout this document.)
