Attachment D Page 2EMERGENCY CONTINGENCY PLAN GENERAL PROGRAM This contingency plan has been developed to aid Emergency Coordinators and Project Managers in the event of an emergency at any one of the Ramsey County Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facilities. This plan, implemented by Bay West LLC, will address emergency topics by defining what constitutes an emergency situation and the subsequent action for properly handling such emergencies. Emergency topics to be addressed include fire, explosion, medical emergencies, toxic vapor release, severe weather and an evacuation plan. In addition, a listing of emergency contacts and response coordinators, along with an Incident Reporting Form may be found in this plan. Site specific information for each Ramsey County HHW facility can be reviewed in the appendices starting on page 9.
