Owners and operators of used oil processing and re-refining facilities shall comply with all of the following requirements: NR 679.52(2)(a)1.1. Each 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 used oil to air, soil or surface water. NR 679.52(2)(a)2.2. The provisions of the plan shall be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion or release of used oil which could threaten human health or the environment. NR 679.52(2)(b)1.1. The contingency plan shall describe the actions facility personnel must take to comply with pars. (a) and (f) in response to fires, explosions or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of used oil to air, soil or surface water at the facility. NR 679.52(2)(b)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 300, or some other emergency or contingency plan, the owner or operator need only amend that plan to incorporate used oil management provisions that are sufficient to comply with this chapter. NR 679.52(2)(b)3.3.

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. NR 679.52(2)(b)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. NR 679.52(2)(b)6.6. The plan shall include an evacuation plan for facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This plan shall describe signals to be used to begin evacuation, evacuation routes and alternate evacuation routes (in cases where the primary routes could be blocked by releases of used oil or fires). NR 679.52(2)(c)(c) Copies of contingency plan. A copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to the plan shall be all of the following: NR 679.52(2)(c)2.2. Submitted to all local police departments, fire departments, hospitals and state and local emergency response teams that may be called upon to provide emergency services. NR 679.52(2)(d)(d) Amendment of contingency plan. The contingency plan shall be reviewed, and immediately amended, if necessary, whenever any of the following occur: NR 679.52(2)(d)3.3. The facility changes, in its design, construction, operation, maintenance or other circumstances, in a way that materially increases the potential for fires, explosions or releases of used oil, or changes the response necessary in an emergency. NR 679.52(2)(e)(e) Emergency coordinator. At all times, there shall be at least one employee either on the facility premises or on call (i.e., available to respond to an emergency by reaching the facility within a short period of time) with the responsibility for coordinating all emergency response measures. This emergency coordinator shall be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the facility’s contingency plan, all operations and activities at the facility, the location and characteristic of used oil handled, the location of all records within the facility and facility layout. In addition, this person shall have the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the contingency plan. NR 679.52 NoteNote: The emergency coordinator’s responsibilities are more fully spelled out in par. (f). Applicable responsibilities for the emergency coordinator vary, depending on factors such as type and variety of used oil handled by the facility, and type and complexity of the facility.
NR 679.52(2)(f)1.1. Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the emergency coordinator (or the designee when the emergency coordinator is on call) shall immediately do all of the following: NR 679.52(2)(f)1.a.a.

Notify appropriate state or local agencies with designated response roles if their help is needed. NR 679.52(2)(f)2.2. Whenever there is a release, fire or explosion, the emergency coordinator shall immediately identify the character, exact source, amount and areal extent of any released materials. The emergency coordinator may do this by observation or review of facility records or manifests and, if necessary, by chemical analysis. NR 679.52(2)(f)3.3. Concurrently, the emergency coordinator shall assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the release, fire or explosion. This assessment shall consider both direct and indirect effects of the release, fire or explosion (e.g., the effects of any toxic, irritating or asphyxiating gases that are generated, or the effects of any hazardous surface water run-off from water or chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced explosions).
