What key elements should I include in my Facility Response Plan?

As you prepare your FRP, be sure that your plan includes the following elements: 

• Emergency Response Action Plan (an easily accessible stand-alone section of the overall plan) including the identity of a qualified individual with the authority to implement removal actions;
• Facility name, type, location, owner, and operator information;
• Emergency notification, equipment, personnel, evidence that equipment and personnel are available (by contract or other approved means), and evacuation information;
• Identification and evaluation of potential discharge hazards and previous discharges;
• Identification of small, medium, and worst case discharge scenarios and response actions;
• Description of discharge detection procedures and equipment;
• Detailed implementation plans for containment and disposal;
• Facility and response self-inspection; training, exercises, and drills; and meeting logs;
• Diagrams of facility and surrounding layout, topography, evacuation paths, and drainage flow paths; 
• Security measures, including fences, lighting alarms, guards, emergency cutoff valves, and locks; and
• Response Plan cover sheet (form with basic information concerning the facility).
