Control Procedures <br /> This contingency plan will be implemented in the event of a spill of hazardous waste, fire, any <br /> explosion, or a combination of these. Additionally, the contingency plan will be implemented if <br /> the emergency coordinator determines that a threat to human health or the environment exists. <br /> Implementation of this contingency plan is intended to mitigate or protect the facility and <br /> neighboring community from injury; contamination of storm sewers with hazardous materials; <br /> damage to equipment; damage to the environment; or a combination of these. <br /> This section of the contingency plan addresses control procedures relative to hazardous waste <br /> emergency episodes within the container accumulation area: <br /> Container Accumulation Area: The hazardous waste container accumulation area is <br /> located between the filter press and west vehicle entrance gate south of the <br /> maintenance building.
