Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan <br /> The Home Depot Store#1022 <br /> 9 Emergency Procedures <br /> The Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan will be implemented under the following conditions: <br /> • A fire involving hazardous waste <br /> • An explosion involving hazardous waste <br /> • A release or spill involving a reportable quantity(RQ) of hazardous waste <br /> Upon discovery, spills or releases that do not exceed an RQ will be cleaned up and properly managed, but will not <br /> require implementation of the hazardous waste contingency plan. The RQs for the potential hazardous wastes <br /> are identified in 40 CFR Part 302, Table 302.4. <br /> The Emergency Coordinator will have the discretion to implement the Plan based on the conditions of an <br /> emergency situation. <br /> The provisions of the Plan must be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of <br /> hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could threaten human health or the environment. A spill of <br /> hazardous waste less than the RQ could potentially trigger either of these conditions. <br /> 9.1 Discovery <br /> Upon discovery of a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste, Store associates will first activate the fire <br /> alarm at the nearest pull box (if not already activated) and notify the Emergency Coordinator via cell phone at the <br /> number found on Table 3-1. The Emergency Coordinator or designee will then assess the situation and follow the <br /> Hazardous Waste Emergency Response Procedures provided in Appendix E. The Emergency Coordinator is <br /> responsible for informing Verisk 3E of the spill, if necessary. Table 3-2 provides additional emergency notification <br /> numbers and information. <br /> 9.2 Summary of Hazardous Waste Incident Response <br /> Steps <br /> In case of a hazardous waste fire, explosion or release, trained associates will follow detailed response steps <br /> provided in The Home Depot's HHM Standard Operating Procedure. A summary of hazardous waste emergency <br /> procedures and response steps are provided in Appendix E. <br /> A discharge notification form is filled out for a release/fire incident involving hazardous waste on the property. <br /> This form is provided in Appendix F. <br /> 9.3 Notification <br /> There are some levels of reporting requirements triggered by a hazardous waste incident. These reporting <br /> requirements involve both internal and external notification. Tables 3-1 and 3-2 provide a list of internal and <br /> external notification numbers, respectively. <br /> www.arcadis.com <br /> 13 <br />
