The owner or operator shall have a contingency plan for the facility. The contingency plan shall 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.

NR 664.0052(2)
(2) If the owner or operator has already prepared a spill prevention, control and countermeasures (SPCC) plan according to
40 CFR part 112, or some other emergency or contingency plan, the owner or operator need only amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are sufficient to comply with the requirements of this chapter. The owner or operator may develop one contingency plan that meets all regulatory requirements. The department recommends that the plan be based on the national response team's (NRT) integrated contingency plan guidance. When modifications are made to non-hazardous waste provisions in an integrated contingency plan, the changes do not trigger the need for a hazardous waste license modification.
NR 664.0052(3)

(4) The plan shall list names, addresses and phone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see s.
NR 664.0055), and this list shall be kept up to date. Where more than one person is listed, one shall be named as primary emergency coordinator and others shall be listed in the order in which they will assume responsibility as alternates. For new facilities, this information shall be supplied to the department at the time of certification, rather than at the time of feasibility and plan of operation report submittal.
NR 664.0052(5)
(5) The plan shall include a list of all emergency equipment at the facility (such as fire extinguishing systems, spill control equipment, communications and alarm systems (internal and external) and decontamination equipment), where this equipment is required. This list shall be kept up to date. In addition, the plan shall include the location and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief outline of its capabilities.
