Washington (State) Administrative Code 173-303-350 for treatment, storage, and/or disposal (TSD) units within the State of Washington requires that an emergency response plan (commonly called a Contingency Plan'') be in place. This plan, called the Hanford Facility Contingency Plan, and TSD unit-specific building emergency plans are provided to meet the stated requirements. This Plan is an extension of the TSD unit-specific plan and addresses response needs beyond the capability of a particular TSD unit. This Plan will be maintained in the manner and locations required by the Westinghouse (State) Administration Code. The scope of this Plan includes actions that are performed whenever a fire, explosion, or release of dangerous waste or dangerous waste constituents that could threaten human health or the environment occurs. The Plan also describes the protection of employees, other contractor personnel, visitors, the general public, and the environment if a dangerous waste spill or event outside the boundaries of specific TSD units occurred. In addition, this Plan describes how to minimize hazards resulting from fires, explosions, or any other unplanned sudden or nonsudden release of dangerous waste or dangerous waste constituents to air, soil, or water. Thus, the scope of this Plan is broader than a TSD unit- specific building emergency plan, which only covers events that can be addressed by unit-specific personnel and resources.
