EPA published two new model permit modules on preparedness and prevention and contingency plans as well as an updated module on general facility conditions. The new Preparedness and Prevention module contains conditions covering those standards in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 264, subpart C. This module includes sections on design and operation of the facility, required equipment, testing and maintenance of emergency equipment, access to communications or alarm systems, required aisle space, and arrangements with local authorities. The new Contingency Plan module contains conditions covering those standards and the emergency procedures standards required by 40 CFR part 264, subpart D. This module includes sections on implementation of contingency plans, content, emergency coordinators and procedures, copies, and amendments. EPA also updated the General Facility Conditions Applicable to All RCRA Permits module.
