	Heading is revised to add “and recordkeeping.”	262.11 heading						
	A person who generates a solid waste, as defined in 40 CFR 261.2, must make an accurate determination as to whether that waste is a hazardous waste in order to ensure wastes are properly managed according to applicable RCRA regulations. A hazardous waste determination is made using the following steps:	262.11 introductory text						
	The hazardous waste determination for each solid waste must be made at the point of waste generation, before any dilution, mixing, or other alteration of the waste occurs, and at any time in the course of its management that it has, or may have, changed its properties as a result of exposure to the environment or other factors that may change the properties of the waste such that the RCRA classification of the waste may change.	262.11(a)						
	A person must determine whether the solid waste is excluded from regulation under 40 CFR 261.4.	262.11(b)						
	If the waste is not excluded under 40 CFR 261.4, the person must then use knowledge of the waste to determine whether the waste meets any of the listing descriptions under subpart D of 40 CFR part 261. Acceptable knowledge that may be used in making an accurate determination as to whether the waste is listed may include waste origin, composition, the process producing the waste, feedstock, and other reliable and relevant information. If the waste is listed, the person may file a delisting petition under 40 CFR 260.20 and 260.22 to demonstrate to the Administrator that the waste from this particular site or operation is not a hazardous waste.	262.11(c)						
	The person then must also determine whether the waste exhibits one or more hazardous characteristics as identified in subpart C of 40 CFR part 261 by following the procedures in paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section, or a combination of both.	262.11(d)						
	The person must apply knowledge of the hazard characteristic of the waste in light of the materials or the processes used to generate the waste. Acceptable knowledge may include process knowledge (e.g., information about chemical feedstocks and other inputs to the production process); knowledge of products, by-products, and intermediates produced by the manufacturing process; chemical or physical characterization of wastes; information on the chemical and physical properties of the chemicals used or produced by the process or otherwise contained in the waste; testing that illustrates the properties of the waste; or other reliable and relevant information about the properties of the waste or its constituents. A test other than a test method set forth in subpart C of 40 CFR part 261, or an equivalent test method approved by the Administrator under 40 CFR 260.21, may be used as part of a person’s knowledge to determine whether a solid waste exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste. However, such tests do not, by themselves, provide definitive results. Persons testing their waste must obtain a representative sample of the waste for the testing, as defined at 40 CFR 260.10.	262.11(d)(1)						
	When available knowledge is inadequate to make an accurate determination, the person must test the waste according to the applicable methods set forth in subpart C of 40 CFR part 261 or according to an equivalent method approved by the Administrator under 40 CFR 260.21 and in accordance with the following:	262.11(d)(2)						
	Persons testing their waste must obtain a representative sample of the waste for the testing, as defined at 40 CFR 260.10.	262.11(d)(2)(i)						
	Where a test method is specified in subpart C of 40 CFR part 261, the results of the regulatory test, when properly performed, are definitive for determining the regulatory status of the waste.	262.11(d)(2)(ii)						
	If the waste is determined to be hazardous, the generator must refer to parts 261, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, and 273 of this chapter for other possible exclusions or restrictions pertaining to management of the specific waste.	262.11(e)						
	Recordkeeping for small and large quantity generators. A small or large quantity generator must maintain records supporting its hazardous waste determinations, including records that identify whether a solid waste is a hazardous waste, as defined by 40 CFR 261.3 Records must be maintained for at least three years from the date that the waste was last sent to on-site or off-site treatment, storage, or disposal. These records must comprise the generator’s knowledge of the waste and support the generator’s determination, as described at paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section. The records must include, but are not limited to, the following types of information: the results of any tests, sampling, waste analyses, or other determinations made in accordance with this section; records documenting the tests, sampling, and analytical methods used to demonstrate the validity and relevance of such tests; records consulted in order to determine the process by which the waste was generated, the composition of the waste, and the properties of the waste; and records which explain the knowledge basis for the generator’s determination, as described at 40 CFR paragraph (d)(1) of this section. The periods of record retention referred to in this section are extended automatically during the course of any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity or as requested by the Administrator.	262.11(f)						
	Identifying hazardous waste numbers for small and large quantity generators. If the waste is determined to be hazardous, small quantity generators and large quantity generators must identify all applicable EPA hazardous waste numbers (EPA hazardous waste codes) in subparts C and D of part 261 of this chapter. Prior to shipping the waste off site, the generator also must mark its containers with all applicable EPA hazardous waste numbers (EPA hazardous waste codes) according to § 262.32.	262.11(g)						
	Remove and reserve	262.12						
	Add sections 262.13 to 262.18 as follows:	
	Generator category determination.	262.13 Section heading						
	A generator must determine its generator category. A generator’s category is based on the amount of hazardous waste generated each month and may change from month to month. This section sets forth procedures to determine whether a generator is a very small quantity generator, a small quantity generator, or a large quantity generator for a particular month, as defined in § 260.10 of this chapter.	262.13 introductory text						
	Generators of either acute hazardous waste or non-acute hazardous waste. A generator who either generates acute hazardous waste or non-acute hazardous waste in a calendar month shall determine its generator category for that month by doing the following:	262.13(a)						
	Counting the total amount of hazardous waste generated in the calendar month;	262.13(a)(1)						
	Subtracting from the total any amounts of waste exempt from counting as described in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section; and	262.13(a)(2)						
	Determining the resulting generator category for the hazardous waste generated using Table 1 of this section.	262.13(a)(3)						
	Generators of both acute and non-acute hazardous wastes. A generator who generates both acute hazardous waste and non-acute hazardous waste in the same calendar month shall determine its generator category for that month by doing the following:	262.13(b)						
	Counting separately the total amount of acute hazardous waste and the total amount of non-acute hazardous waste generated in the calendar month;	262.13(b)(1)						
	Subtracting from each total any amounts of waste exempt from counting as described in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section;	262.13(b)(2)						
	Determining separately the resulting generator categories for the quantities of acute and non-acute hazardous waste generated using Table 1 of this section; and	262.13(b)(3)						
	Comparing the resulting generator categories from paragraph (b)(3) of this section and applying the more stringent generator category to the accumulation and management of both non-acute hazardous waste and acute hazardous waste generated for that month.	262.13(b)(4)

	When making the monthly quantity-based determinations required by this part, the generator must include all hazardous waste that it generates, except hazardous waste that:	262.13(c)						
	Is exempt from regulation under 40 CFR 261.4(c) through (f), 261.6(a)(3), 261.7(a)(1), or 261.8;	262.13(c)(1)						
	Is managed immediately upon generation only in on-site elementary neutralization units, wastewater treatment units, or totally enclosed treatment facilities as defined in 40 CFR 260.10;	262.13(c)(2)						
	Is recycled, without prior storage or accumulation, only in an on-site process subject to regulation under 40 CFR 261.6(c)(2);	262.13(c)(3)						
	Is used oil managed under the requirements of 40 CFR 261.6(a)(4) and 40 CFR part 279;	262.13(c)(4)						
	Is spent lead-acid batteries managed under the requirements of 40 CFR part 266 subpart G;	262.13(c)(5)						
	Is universal waste managed under 40 CFR 261.9 and 40 CFR part 273;	262.13(c)(6)						
	Is a hazardous waste that is an unused commercial chemical product (listed in 40 CFR part 261 subpart D or exhibiting one or more characteristics in 40 CFR part 261 subpart C) that is generated solely as a result of a laboratory clean-out conducted at an eligible academic entity pursuant to § 262.213. For purposes of this provision, the term eligible academic entity shall have the meaning as defined in § 262.200; or	262.13(c)(7)						
	Is managed as part of an episodic event in compliance with the conditions of subpart L of this part.	262.13(c)(8)						
	In determining the quantity of hazardous waste generated in a calendar month, a generator need not include:	262.13(d)						
	Hazardous waste when it is removed from on-site accumulation, so long as the hazardous waste was previously counted once;	262.13(d)(1)						
	Hazardous waste generated by on-site treatment (including reclamation) of the generator’s hazardous waste, so long as the hazardous waste that is treated was previously counted once; and	262.13(d)(2)						
	Hazardous waste spent materials that are generated, reclaimed, and subsequently reused on site, so long as such spent materials have been previously counted once.	262.13(d)(3)						
	Based on the generator category as determined under this section, the generator must meet the applicable independent requirements listed in § 262.10. A generator’s category also determines which of the provisions of §§ 262.14, 262.15, 262.16 or 262.17 must be met to obtain an exemption from the storage facility permit, interim status, and operating requirements when accumulating hazardous waste.	262.13(e)						
	Mixing hazardous wastes with solid wastes—	262.13(f)						
	Very small quantity generator wastes.	262.13(f)(1)						
	Hazardous wastes generated by a very small quantity generator may be mixed with solid wastes. Very small quantity generators may mix a portion or all of its hazardous waste with solid waste and remain subject to § 262.14 even though the resultant mixture exceeds the quantity limits identified in the definition of very small quantity generator at § 260.10 of this chapter, unless the mixture exhibits one or more of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in part 261 subpart C of this chapter.	262.13(f)(1)(i)						
	If the resulting mixture exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste, this resultant mixture is a newly-generated hazardous waste. The very small quantity generator must count both the resultant mixture amount plus the other hazardous waste generated in the calendar month to determine whether the total quantity exceeds the very small quantity generator calendar month quantity limits identified in the definition of generator categories found in § 260.10 of this chapter. If so, to remain exempt from the permitting, interim status, and operating standards, the very small quantity generator must meet the conditions for exemption applicable to either a small quantity generator or a large quantity generator. The very small quantity generator must also comply with the applicable independent requirements for either a small quantity generator or a large quantity generator.	262.13(f)(1)(ii)						
	If a very small quantity generator’s wastes are mixed with used oil, the mixture is subject to 40 CFR part 279. Any material produced from such a mixture by processing, blending, or other treatment is also regulated under 40 CFR part 279.	262.13(f)(1)(iii)						
	Small quantity generator and large quantity generator wastes.	262.13(f)(2)						
	Hazardous wastes generated by a small quantity generator or large quantity generator may be mixed with solid waste. These mixtures are subject to the following: the mixture rule in §§ 261.3(a)(2)(iv), (b)(2) and (3), and (g)(2)(i); the prohibition of dilution rule at § 268.3(a); the land disposal restriction requirements of § 268.40 if a characteristic hazardous waste is mixed with a solid waste so that it no longer exhibits the hazardous characteristic; and the hazardous waste determination requirement at § 262.11.	262.13(f)(2)(i)						
	If the resulting mixture is found to be a hazardous waste, this resultant mixture is a newly-generated hazardous waste. A small quantity generator must count both the resultant mixture amount plus the other hazardous waste generated in the calendar month to determine whether the total quantity exceeds the small quantity generator calendar monthly quantity limits identified in the definition of generator categories found in § 260.10 of this chapter. If so, to remain exempt from the permitting, interim status, and operating standards, the small quantity generator must meet the conditions for exemption applicable to a large quantity generator. The small quantity generator must also comply with the applicable independent requirements for a large quantity generator.	262.13(f)(2)(ii)						
	Conditions for exemption for a very small quantity generator.	262.14 section heading						
	Provided that the very small quantity generator meets all the conditions for exemption listed in this section, hazardous waste generated by the very small quantity generator is not subject to the requirements of parts 124, 262 (except §§ 262.10-262.14) through 268, and 270 of this chapter, and the notification requirements of section 3010 of RCRA and the very small quantity generator may accumulate hazardous waste on site without complying with such requirements. The conditions for exemption are as follows:	262.14(a)						
	In a calendar month the very small quantity generator generates less than or equal to the amounts specified in the definition of “very small quantity generator” in § 260.10 of this chapter;	262.14(a)(1)						
	The very small quantity generator complies with § 262.11(a) through (d);	262.14(a)(2)						
	If the very small quantity generator accumulates at any time greater than 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs) of acute hazardous waste or 100 kilograms (220 lbs) of any residue or contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous waste listed in §§ 261.31 or 261.33(e) of this chapter, all quantities of that acute hazardous waste are subject to the following additional conditions for exemption:	262.14(a)(3)						
	Such waste is held on site for no more than 90 days beginning on the date when the accumulated wastes exceed the amounts provided above; and	262.14(a)(3)(i)						
	The conditions for exemption in § 262.17(a) through (g).	262.14(a)(3)(ii)

	SUBPART M – PREPAREDNESS, PREVENTION, AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR LARGE QUANTITY GENERATORS	
	Applicability.	262.250 section heading						
	The regulations of this subpart apply to those areas of a large quantity generator where hazardous waste is generated or accumulated on site.	262.250						
	Maintenance and operation of facility.	262.251 section heading						
	A large quantity generator must maintain and operate its facility to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment.	262.251						
	Required equipment.	262.252 section heading						
	All areas deemed applicable by § 262.250 must be equipped with the items in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section (unless none of the hazards posed by waste handled at the facility could require a particular kind of equipment specified below or the actual hazardous waste generation or accumulation area does not lend itself for safety reasons to have a particular kind of equipment specified below). A large quantity generator may determine the most appropriate locations within its facility to locate equipment necessary to prepare for and respond to emergencies:	262.252 introductory text						
	An internal communications or alarm system capable of providing immediate emergency instruction (voice or signal) to facility personnel;	262.252(a)						
	A device, such as a telephone (immediately available at the scene of operations) or a hand-held two-way radio, capable of summoning emergency assistance from local police departments, fire departments, or state or local emergency response teams;	262.252(b)						
	Portable fire extinguishers, fire control equipment (including special extinguishing equipment, such as that using foam, inert gas, or dry chemicals), spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment; and	262.252(c)						
	Water at adequate volume and pressure to supply water hose streams, or foam producing equipment, or automatic sprinklers, or water spray systems.	262.252(d)						
	Testing and maintenance of equipment.	262.253 section heading						
	All communications or alarm systems, fire protection equipment, spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment, where required, must be tested and maintained as necessary to assure its proper operation in time of emergency.	262.253						
	Access to communications or alarm system.	262.254 section heading						
	Whenever hazardous waste is being poured, mixed, spread, or otherwise handled, all personnel involved in the operation must have immediate access (e.g., direct or unimpeded access) to an internal alarm or emergency communication device, either directly or through visual or voice contact with another employee, unless such a device is not required under § 262.252.	262.254(a)						
	In the event there is just one employee on the premises while the facility is operating, the employee must have immediate access (e.g., direct or unimpeded access) to a device, such as a telephone (immediately available at the scene of operation) or a hand-held two-way radio, capable of summoning external emergency assistance, unless such a device is not required under § 262.252.	262.254(b)						
	Required aisle space.	262.255 section heading						
	The large quantity generator must maintain aisle space to allow the unobstructed movement of personnel, fire protection equipment, spill control equipment, and decontamination equipment to any area of facility operation in an emergency, unless aisle space is not needed for any of these purposes.	262.255						
	Arrangements with local authorities.	262.256						
	The large quantity generator must attempt to make arrangements with the local police department, fire department, other emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, equipment suppliers, and local hospitals, taking into account the types and quantities of hazardous wastes handled at the facility. Arrangements may be made with the Local Emergency Planning Committee, if it is determined to be the appropriate organization with which to make arrangements.	262.256(a)						
	A large quantity generator attempting to make arrangements with its local fire department must determine the potential need for the services of the local police department, other emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, equipment suppliers and local hospitals.  	262.256(a)(1)						
	As part of this coordination, the large quantity generator shall attempt to make arrangements, as necessary, to familiarize the above organizations with the layout of the facility, the properties of the hazardous waste handled at the facility and associated hazards, places where personnel would normally be working, entrances to roads inside the facility, and possible evacuation routes as well as the types of injuries or illnesses which could result from fires, explosions, or releases at the facility.	262.256(a)(2)						
	Where more than one police or fire department might respond to an emergency, the large quantity generator shall attempt to make arrangements designating primary emergency authority to a specific fire or police department, and arrangements with any others to provide support to the primary emergency authority.	262.256(a)(3)						
	The large quantity generator shall maintain records documenting the arrangements with the local fire department as well as any other organization necessary to respond to an emergency. This documentation must include documentation in the operating record that either confirms such arrangements actively exist or, in cases where no arrangements exist, confirms that attempts to make such arrangements were made.	262.256(b)						
	A facility possessing 24-hour response capabilities may seek a waiver from the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) over the fire code within the facility’s state or locality as far as needing to make arrangements with the local fire department as well as any other organization necessary to respond to an emergency, provided that the waiver is documented in the operating record.	262.256(c)						
	Purpose and implementation of contingency plan.	262.260 section heading						
	A large quantity generator must have a contingency plan for the facility. The contingency plan must 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.	262.260(a)						
	The provisions of the plan must be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents which could threaten human health or the environment.	262.260(b)						
	Content of contingency plan.	262.261 section heading						
	The contingency plan must describe the actions facility personnel must take to comply with §§ 262.260 and 262.265 in response to fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil, or surface water at the facility.	262.261(a)						
	If the generator has already prepared a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with part 112 of this chapter, or some other emergency or contingency plan, it need only amend that plan to incorporate hazardous waste management provisions that are sufficient to comply with the standards of this part. The generator may develop one contingency plan that meets all regulatory standards. EPA recommends that the plan be based on the National Response Team's Integrated Contingency Plan Guidance (“One Plan”).	262.261(b)						
	The plan must describe arrangements agreed to with the local police department, fire department, other emergency response teams, emergency response contractors, equipment suppliers, local hospitals or, if applicable, the Local Emergency Planning Committee, pursuant to § 262.256.	262.261(c)						
	The plan must list names and emergency telephone numbers of all persons qualified to act as emergency coordinator (see § 262.264), and this list must be kept up to date. Where more than one person is listed, one must be named as primary emergency coordinator and others must be listed in the order in which they will assume responsibility as alternates. In situations where the generator facility has an emergency coordinator continuously on duty because it operates 24 hours per day, every day of the year, the plan may list the staffed position (e.g., operations manager, shift coordinator, shift operations supervisor) as well as an emergency telephone number that can be guaranteed to be answered at all times.	262.261(d)						
	The plan must 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 must be kept up to date. In addition, the plan must include the location and a physical description of each item on the list, and a brief outline of its capabilities.	262.261(e)						
	The plan must include an evacuation plan for generator personnel where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary. This plan must describe signal(s) 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).	262.261(f)						
	Copies of contingency plan.	262.262 section heading						
	A copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to the plan must be maintained at the large quantity generator and—	262.262 introductory text						
	The large quantity generator must submit a copy of the contingency plan and all revisions to all local emergency responders (i.e., police departments, fire departments, hospitals and State and local emergency response teams that may be called upon to provide emergency services). This document may also be submitted to the Local Emergency Planning Committee, as appropriate.	262.262(a)						
2	A large quantity generator that first becomes subject to these provisions after May 30, 2017 or a large quantity generator that is otherwise amending its contingency plan must at that time submit a quick reference guide of the contingency plan to the local emergency responders identified at paragraph (a) of this section or, as appropriate, the Local Emergency Planning Committee. The quick reference guide must include the following elements:	262.262(b)						
2	The types/names of hazardous wastes in layman’s terms and the associated hazard associated with each hazardous waste present at any one time (e.g., toxic paint wastes, spent ignitable solvent, corrosive acid);	262.262(b)(1)						
2	The estimated maximum amount of each hazardous waste that may be present at any one time;	262.262(b)(2)						
2	The identification of any hazardous wastes where exposure would require unique or special treatment by medical or hospital staff;	262.262(b)(3)						
2	A map of the facility showing where hazardous wastes are generated, accumulated and treated and routes for accessing these wastes;	262.262(b)(4)						
2	A street map of the facility in relation to surrounding businesses, schools and residential areas to understand how best to get to the facility and also evacuate citizens and workers;	262.262(b)(5)						
2	The locations of water supply (e.g., fire hydrant and its flow rate);	262.262(b)(6)						
2	The identification of on-site notification systems (e.g., a fire alarm that rings off site, smoke alarms); and	262.262(b)(7)						
2	The name of the emergency coordinator(s) and 7/24-hour emergency telephone number(s) or, in the case of a facility where an emergency coordinator is continuously on duty, the emergency telephone number for the emergency coordinator.	262.262(b)(8)						
2	Generators must update, if necessary, their quick reference guides, whenever the contingency plan is amended and submit these documents to the local emergency responders identified at paragraph (a) of this section or, as appropriate, the Local Emergency Planning Committee.	262.262(c)						
	Amendment of contingency plan.	262.263 section heading						
	The contingency plan must be reviewed, and immediately amended, if necessary, whenever:	262.263 introductory text						
	Applicable regulations are revised;	262.263(a)						
	The plan fails in an emergency;	262.263(b)						
	The generator 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 hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents, or changes the response necessary in an emergency;	262.263(c)						
	The list of emergency coordinators changes; or	262.263(d)						
	The list of emergency equipment changes.	262.263(e)						
	Emergency coordinator.	262.264 section heading						
	At all times, there must be at least one employee either on the generator’s 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 and implementing the necessary emergency procedures outlined in § 262.265. Although responsibilities may vary depending on factors such as type and variety of hazardous waste(s) handled by the facility, as well as type and complexity of the facility, this emergency coordinator must be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the generator’s contingency plan, all operations and activities at the facility, the location and characteristics of hazardous waste handled, the location of all records within the facility, and the facility’s layout. In addition, this person must have the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the contingency plan.	262.264						
	Emergency procedures.	262.265 section heading						
	Whenever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the emergency coordinator (or his designee when the emergency coordinator is on call) must immediately:	262.265(a)						
	Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems, where applicable, to notify all facility personnel; and	262.265(a)(1)						
	Notify appropriate state or local agencies with designated response roles if their help is needed.	262.265(a)(2)						
	Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion, the emergency coordinator must 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 the facility records or manifests and, if necessary, by chemical analysis.	262.265(b)						
	Concurrently, the emergency coordinator must assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the release, fire, or explosion. This assessment must 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-offs from water or chemical agents used to control fire and heat-induced explosions).	262.265(c)						
	If the emergency coordinator determines that the facility has had a release, fire, or explosion which could threaten human health, or the environment, outside the facility, the emergency coordinator must report the findings as follows:	262.265(d)						
	If the assessment indicates that evacuation of local areas may be advisable, the emergency coordinator must immediately notify appropriate local authorities. The emergency coordinator must be available to help appropriate officials decide whether local areas should be evacuated; and	262.265(d)(1)						
	The emergency coordinator must immediately notify either the government official designated as the on-scene coordinator for that geographical area, or the National Response Center (using their 24-hour toll free number 800/424-8802). The report must include:	262.265(d)(2)						
	Name and telephone number of reporter;	262.265(d)(2)(i)						
	Name and address of the generator;	262.265(d)(2)(ii)						
	Time and type of incident (e.g., release, fire);	262.265(d)(2)(iii)						
	Name and quantity of material(s) involved, to the extent known;	262.265(d)(2)(iv)						
	The extent of injuries, if any; and	262.265(d)(2)(v)						
	The possible hazards to human health, or the environment, outside the facility.	262.265(d)(2)(vi)						
	During an emergency, the emergency coordinator must take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other hazardous waste at the generator’s facility. These measures must include, where applicable, stopping processes and operations, collecting and containing released hazardous waste, and removing or isolating containers.	262.265(e)						
	If the generator stops operations in response to a fire, explosion or release, the emergency coordinator must monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes, or other equipment, wherever this is appropriate.	262.265(f)						
	Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator must provide for treating, storing, or disposing of recovered waste, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results from a release, fire, or explosion at the facility. Unless the generator can demonstrate, in accordance with § 261.3(c) or (d) of this chapter, that the recovered material is not a hazardous waste, then it is a newly generated hazardous waste that must be managed in accordance with all the applicable requirements and conditions for exemption in parts 262, 263, and 265 of this chapter.	262.265(g)						
	The emergency coordinator must ensure that, in the affected area(s) of the facility:	262.265(h)						
	No hazardous waste that may be incompatible with the released material is treated, stored, or disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed; and	262.265(h)(1)						
	All emergency equipment listed in the contingency plan is cleaned and fit for its intended use before operations are resumed.	262.265(h)(2)						
	The generator must note in the operating record the time, date, and details of any incident that requires implementing the contingency plan. Within 15 days after the incident, the generator must submit a written report on the incident to the Regional Administrator. The report must include:	262.265(i)						
	Name, address, and telephone number of the generator;	262.265(i)(1)						
	Date, time, and type of incident (e.g., fire, explosion);	262.265(i)(2)						
	Name and quantity of material(s) involved;	262.265(i)(3)						
	The extent of injuries, if any;	262.265(i)(4)						
	An assessment of actual or potential hazards to human health or the environment, where this is applicable; and	262.265(i)(5)						
	Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material that resulted from the incident.	262.265(i)(6)
