(1) Your contingency plan shall:

(c) List names, addresses, and phone numbers (office and home) of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see s. NR 667.0055), and keep the list up to date. Where more than one person is listed, name one as primary emergency coordinator and list the others in the order in which they will assume responsibility as alternates.

(d) Include a current 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. In addition, include the location and a physical description of each item on the list and a brief outline of its capabilities.

(e) Include an evacuation plan for facility personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. 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 hazardous waste or fires).

(2) If you have already prepared a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan under 40 CFR part 112, or some other emergency or contingency plan, amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that will comply with the requirements of this subchapter.
