Section 6 CCR 1007-3-263.40 - Spill Response
(a) In the event of a spill of hazardous waste at the transfer facility, the transporter must take appropriate immediate action to protect human health and the environment. Further, the transporter must cleanup in a timely manner any spills of hazardous waste at the transfer facility so that the hazardous waste spill no longer presents a hazard to human health or the environment.
(b) Whenever there is a spill, fire, or explosion at a transfer facility, the transporter must immediately identify the character, source, amount, and area extent of any spilled materials. He/she may do this by observation or review of facility records or manifests and, if necessary, by chemical analysis.
(c) If the transporter determines that the transfer facility has had a spill exceeding 55 gallons, a fire, or an explosion, the transporter must report the findings to the Department within 24 hours. The report must include:
(1) Name and telephone number of reporter;
(2) Name, address, and telephone number of facility;
(3) Date, time, and type of incident (i.e., spill, fire or explosion);
(4) Name and quantity of material(s) involved, to the extent known;
(5) The extent of injuries, if any, and
(6) The possible hazards outside the facility to human health or the environment.
(d) Within 15 days after an incident involving a spill exceeding 55 gallons, a fire, or an explosion, the transporter must submit a written report on the incident to the Department. The report must include:
(1) Name, address, and telephone number of the transporter;
(2) Name, address, and telephone number of the transfer facility;
(3) Date, time, and type of incident (i.e., spill, fire or explosion);
(4) Name and quantity of material(s) involved;
(5) The extent of injuries, if any;
(6) An assessment of actual or potential hazards to human health or the environment, where this is applicable; and
(7) Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material that resulted from the incident.

Note: Compliance with the § 263.40 Spill Response requirements does not relieve transporters from any other obligation to comply with all other federal, state and local reporting and notification requirements concerning chemical spills and releases.
