Texas. !,irginia trrrrTl Re: United Parcel Service Arrangement with Yarmouth Fire Department United Parcel Service Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan (For use in states which have not adopted the Generator lmprovement Rule (GlR)) A. Purpose (262.341a1(41, 262.34(dll4l, 265.5'1, 265.52(a), 265.52(c), 265.53, 265.56) The preparedness and prevention requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in 40 CFR 265 specify equipment, procedures, and emergency response arrangements for all Small Quantity (SOG) (40 CFR 262.34(dX4)) and Large Quantity Generators (LOG) (40 CFR 262.34(a)(4)) of regulated hazardous wastes. ln addition,40 CFR 262.34(a)(4) requires that LQG facilities have a written contingency plan that minimizes the hazards to human health and the environment from unplanned releases of hazardous wastes, as well as establish the procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency. Because the requirements in RCRA are similar to those found in the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) required by OSHA in 29 CFR, UPS has chosen to add Appendix XV to the ERPs of subject facilities with the RcRA-required elements pertaining to hazardous waste. This site-specific Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan is the facility's plan for dealing with emergencies involving hazardous wastes and shall be implemented immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous wastes which could threaten human health and/or the environment. A copy will be kept onsite in the facility's ERP. Additional copies will be provided to local emergency agencies as required by RCRA. The Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan includes the following sections and appendices. Sections A. Purpose B. Facility lnformation C. Emergency Coordinators D. Local Emergency Response Arrangements E.

Emergency Coordinators (265.16, 265.52(d), 265.55, 265.56) ln the event ofan emergency involving, or potentially involving, hazardous wastes, the Emergency Coordinator shall have the overall responsibility for implementing the Contingency plan and the applicable sections of the Emergency Response Plan. Emergency Coordinators are typically Building and systems Engineering (BasE) management personnel if domiciled at the facility. Otherwise, the highest ranking, onsite operations manager is the designated Emergency Coordinator. Emergency Coordinators must be thoroughly familiar with this Contingency Plan, allfacility operations and activities, the types and characteristics of waste handled, the location ofpertinent records and the facility layout. The Emergency Coordinator is responsible for assessingpossible hazards to human health and the environment that may result during a release, fire or Address: explosion. The Emergency Coordinator is authorized to commit the resources necessary to implement this Contingency Plan. At ali times there must be at least one Emergency Coordinator on the premises or on call available to respond to an emergency by reaching the facility within a short period of time. Emergency Coordinators are required by RCRA to receive annual, documented training. See Appendix A for Emergency Coordinator contact information. D. Local Emergency Response Arrangements (265.37, 265.52(c), 265.53(b)) This section of the Contingency Plan supplements the Pre-Emergency Planning section of the facility's Emergency Response Plan. Section I of the ERP provides a form and instruction for facilities to prearrange emergency planning and coordination arrangements with the local authorities. ln cases where no arrangements exist records shall confirm that aftempts to make such arrangements were made. Contact sheets documenting arrangements with the various agencies are attached to the Contingency Plan as Appendix A. The agencies listed in Appendix A are the primary response units. lf other agencies may also respond, their contact sheets indicate that they are secondary responders. A listing with emergency phone numbers is posted in the DM P/waste processing area where most hazardous wasles are handled. A copy of the conlingency plan and each subsequent revision or amendment to the contingency plan is submitted to the agencies listed in Appendix A. Communication devices listed in Section H are available for this area as well as the hazardous waste storage area. See Appendix A for list of emergency phone numbers. E. Emergency Procedures, Evacuation and Equipment Shutdown (265.51, 2G5.52(a), 26s.52(f), 265.56) The facility's Emergency Action Plan (ERP) includes the evacuation plans and procedures for various types of emergencies. These procedures include the Emergency Coordinator assessing the emergency conditions and hazards; notifying facility personnel and designated state and local authorities; emergency measures to be taken; and actions to manage wastes generated by the emergency. The Emergency Coordinator or designee shall respond promptly and properly to any emergencies that arise. The applicable responses shall be: o ln the event of a fire, attempt to extinguish it using a fire extinguisher or other suitable fire control equipment or call the fire department . ln the event of a spill, contain the flow of spilled material to the extent possible, and as soon as practicable, clean up the spilled material and contaminated materials. \Menever there is an imminent or actual emergency situation, the Emergency Coordinator (or designee) must immediately: 1 . Activate internal facility alarms or communication systems to notiry all facility personnel; 2. Notify the Massachusetts Bureau of Waste Prevention when there is an imminent or aclual emergency which triggers the need to implement the contingency plan even if it does not result in a reportable release (pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0000); and 3. Notify other appropriate State and local agencbs with designated response roles if their help is needed. The Emergency Coordinator musl immediately identify the:. character, 0762 0556M0@ 119A{-1 . exacl source, . amount, and . areal extent of any released materials The Emergency Coordinator must assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the release, flre or explosion. lf the Emergency Coordinator determines that the facility has had a release, fire or explosion that could threaten human health or the environment outside of the facility, the Emergency Coordinator must: . lmmediately notify appropriate local authorities and be available to help appropriate officials decide whether local areas should be evacuated; Call the Bureau of Waste Site Clean-up at the Department's Regional Office serving the location where the release or threat of release occurred when required by and within the time frames established pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0311 through 40.0317. To report a release after normal business hours, dial (617) 556-1133, (888) 304-1133 (or such other telephone number as may be designated by the Department) or follow any instructions provided on the answering message for the Regional Office; and lmmediately notify either the government official designated as the on-scene coordinator for the geographical area, or the National Response Center (800-424-8802) with the following information: o Emergency Coordinator name and telephone number, o Name, address, and EPA ldentification Number of the facility, o Time and type of incident (e.9., release, fire) o Name and quantity of materials involved to the extent known, o Extent of injuries, if any, o Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered materials, if any; and o Possible hazards to human health and the environment outside the facility. During the 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 facilny. Section lX of the ERP includes procedures for management personnel to shut down equipment and operations throughout the facility. The facility's waste generating processes (i.e. spill cleanup and fleet maintenance) do not involve any automated processes that require shut down. The central accumulation for hazardous waste is stored in the facility's DMP and/or hazardous waste storage area. The facility's ERP (Section ll) also includes a Leaking Package Response procedure, which addresses the spills of products which become hazardous waste. Spills and leaks that occur in the DMP/hazardous waste storage areas would cleaned up followlng the Leaking package Response Procedure. The Site Diagram in Appendix B includes evacuation routes and alternate evacuation routes for cases where primary routes could be blocked. F. Description of Hazardous Waste Operations lndicate this facility's RCRA generator status: Large Quantity Generator (LQG) Small Quantity Generator (SQG) 0762 0556M0@ 1r9 all 1 x Unless state regulations diciate otherwise, LQGS are facilities lhat generale more than 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) of hazardous waste or '1 kg (2.2 lbs) of acute hazardous waste in any one month. SOGS are facilities that generate between 100 kg (220 lbs) and 1000 kg of hazardous waste in any one month. lndicate sources of hazardous waste generation at the facility x 1. Damaged Materials Program (DMP) The DMP was created to ensure proper handling and disposal of regulated materials originating from shipments that are damaged while in transit. Damaged packages that are leaking are evaluated by trained Designated Responders. These Designated Responders are generally UPS employees, but circumstances may dictate that an outside response contractor be used. Designated Responders clean up the spill residues, containerize the waste materials, and submit key information to a third party hazardous waste vendor for a determination of the materials' regulatory status. Waste codes most often include D001 (lgnitable) or D002 (Corrosive) but vary widely due to the nature of customer shipments. ln the typical UPS "small package" facility, individual packages containing regulated materials generally contain a maximum of five gallons, which serves to minimize the potential for a significant release to the environment. The damaged package contenls and spill cleanup residues are individually container2ed and lab-packed into UN approved drums. Some types of wastes, such as aerosol cans, broken fluorescent lamps, and paint may be accumulated in bulk in drums rather than laFpacked. ln other types of facilities, regulated materials can be packaged individually or containerized. ln the event of a spill, the facility will contact an outside emergency responder. Any damaged package contents and spill cleanup residues are containerized by the responder for removal from the facility. Some types of facility generaled wastes, such as aerosol cans, broken fluorescent lamps, and paint may be accumulated in bulk in drums rather than lab-packed. Facility-Generated Wastes The mosl common source of regulated waste materials originating from onsite operations is the Automotive Shop. Depending on state regulations and vendor recycling processes, many wastestreams from the Automotive Shop are not regulated as hazardous wastes. The following facility-generated wastestreams at this facility are managed as hazardous wastes: Used oil used antifreeze G. Facillty Layout (265.52(fl) The site Diagram in Appendix B shows the overall layout of the facility, entrances and exits, thelocations of hazardous waste processing and storage areas, and the location of emergency equipment as specified in the next section. 0762 0556M0@ 119 An-1 x2. _ Spent Parts Washer Solvent X Used Filters _ Spent Lead Acid Batteries X Other (Describe any other hazardous waste streams at the facility below) H. Emergency Equipment (265 .32, 265.33,265.34, 265.35, 265.52(e)) The table below indicates the emergency equipment present at this facility. Personal protective equipment (PPE) and spill clean up materials are maintained primarily in the DMP processing area. However, spill clean up materials are located on mobile carts that can be brought to any spill location. UPS Designated Responders are trained in the use, capabilities, maintenance and decontamination of PPE and spill clean up tools. The training also includes procedures for notifying outside emergency response authorities, particularly when the size or nature of a release is beyond the facility's capabilities. ln facilities that do not have DMP, and therefore do not respond to spills, employees are trained to report any spills or releases to management immediately. The Emergency Coordinator will contact the outside emergency responder. The facility does not maintain any specialized equipment other than basic PPE and materials to clean up minor spills of materials used at the facility during rouline operation. Some of the PPE and spill clean up equipment (e.9. stir sticks, pH tape, paper towels, etc.) are disposable and will be included with the clean up residues for disposal. ln addition, Designated Responders may also dispose of equipment that is easily replaceable (e.9. aprons, boots, gloves, etc.) when it is excessively contaminated. Decontamination procedures are provided in the Decontamination Checklist (Section Vl) of the Emergency Response Plan. 0762 0556M0@ 119 Ar 1 The ERP provides for the regular inventory and assessment of PPE and spill clean up tools used by UPS Designated Responders (see section titled PPE and Response Supplies). These records are generally kept in the DMP processing area or the spill €rt storage area. The Building and Systems Engineering Department is responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of the facility's emergency equipment, including fire control systems (water pressure and volume), portable fire extinguishers, eyewash/showers, two-way communication, evacuation alarms, etc. These records are kept with the equipment or in the Building and Systems Engineering ofiice at this facility. All UPS personnel are responsible for keeping evacuation routes clear. Aisle space in the hazardous waste generation and storage areas is maintained by UPS responders to allow the unobstructed access of emergency equipment and personnel in the event of an emergency. Whenever hazardous waste is being handled, all employees involved in the operation must have immediate access to an internal alarm or emergency communication device, either directly or through visual or voice contact with another employee. lf only one employee is on the premises while the facility is operating, the employee must have immediate access to a communication device capable of reaching exernal emergency assistance.

Post-lncident Reporting and Follow Up (265.56) lmmediately after the incident, the Emergency Coordinator will provide for the proper containment and storage of any waste materials as a result of the emergency while offsite disposal is being arranged. The Emergency Coordinator will ensure that no waste that may be incompatible with the release material is managed in the affected area untilthe cleanup is complete. The Emergency Coordinator will ensure that equipment used during the incident is cleaned or replaced before hazardous waste operations may resume. A UPS Oil/Hazardous Substance Spill lncident Report will be completed and maintained on file for all external notifications triggered by implementing the Contingency Plan. This report must note the time, date, and details of any incident that requires implementing the Contingency Plan. This record shall be kept by the generator at a readily accessible on-site location at all times while the generator is subject to 310 CMR 30.0000. The Emergency Coordinator will determine if a written report is required to be submitted to local, state, orfederal authorities and, rf so, will ensure its timely submittal. lf the incident resulted in a release to the environment requiring notification pursuant to 310 CMR 40.0000, notification to the Bureau of Waste Site Clean-up shall constitute nolice to the Department. lf the incident did not require notificalion pursuant to 3'10 CMR 40.0000, then the generator shall provide a written report within seven days to the Bureau of Waste Prevention at the Regional Office ofthe Department where the incident occurred which includes: . Name, address, and telephone number ofthe generator; . Date, time, and type of incident (e.9., fire, explosion); . Name and quantity of material(s) involved; . Extent of injuries, if any; . Assessment of actual or potential hazards to public health, safety, wetfare, or the environment, when this is applicable; . Estimated quantity and the disposition of recovered material that resulted from the incident; . All differences between the emergency response activities actually taken and those prescribed in the contingency plan and the reasons for each such difference; and . Proposed measures to prevent similar incidents in the fiJture. J. Amendment of Contingency Plan (265.541 This plan must be reviewed, and immediately amended, if necessary, whenever: 1. Applicable regulations are revised; 2. The plan fails in an emergency; 3. The facility changes 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;4. The list of emergency coordinators changes; 5. The list of emergency equipment changes; 6. There occurs any other circumstance which indicates the need for a change in thecontingency plan The Building and systems Engineering Department is responsible for making any requiredchanges to the contingency Plan. Regardless of the extent of changes madetotie plin (even ifjust the contact tist is amended), BasE must submit the plan in its e;tirety to the agencie; listedin Appendix A. 0762 0556M0S 119Att,1 Site Name: Address: EMERGENCY RESPONSE CONTACT SHEET MAYAR 131 Ansell Hallet Road Yarmouth, MA 02573 PRIMARY EMERGENCY COORDINATOR SECONDARY EMERGENCY COORDINATOR Che enne Laurel Eren AbbakName: Title: Address: Work Phone: Home (24-hr) Phone: BaSE Supervisor Name: Title: Address: Work Phone: Home (24-hr) P hone: Facility EnBineer 1045 Univers Ave Norwood, MA 02062 1045 U niversity Ave Norwood, MA 02062 831-659-5910 781-551-2587 Same as above 973-975-5085 PRIMARY Yarmouth PDAgency Name: Eme rgency Number:911 SECONDARY (if applicable) Agency Name: N/A E mergency Number: N/A FIRE ABency Name: E m e rgency Num ber: PRIMARY Yarmouth FD 911 SECONDARY (if applicable) Agency Name: N/A Emergency Number: N/A HOSPITAL Agency Name: Emergency Number: PRIMARY Cape Cod Hospital 508-771-1800 SECONDARY (if applicable) Agency Name: N/A E me rgencyNumber: N/l EMERGENCY RESPONSE CONTRACTOR Agency Name: Emergency Number:800-229-s2s2 National Response Center 24-hrNumber: 800-424-8802 Date Last Updated: SECONDARY (if applicablel Agency Name: N/A E me rgency Number: N/e ey (Roux) PRIMARY HazMat One s/30/202r Updated by: Alexandra Bail 0762 0556M0@ 119At_1 APPENDIX A POLICE c E Ez ooco l!
