An owner or operator shall determine which of those requirements apply to the covered processes that are present at the stationary source as provided in divisions (B) to (D) of this section. An owner or operator shall comply with all levels of program requirements that apply to the covered processes at the owner or operator's stationary source.(B) The owner or operator of a stationary source at which a covered process is present is subject to program 1 requirements established under division (E) of this section if the covered process meets all of the following conditions: (1) For the five years prior to the submission of a risk management plan, the process has not had an accidental release of a regulated substance where exposure to the substance, its reaction products, overpressure generated by an explosion involving the substance, or radiant heat generated by a fire involving the substance led to any of the following occurrences off-site:(b) Injury to any person;(c) Response or restoration activities for an environmental receptor.(2) The distance to a toxic or flammable endpoint for a worst case release assessment conducted pursuant to a hazard assessment as specified in rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code is less than the distance to any public receptor;(3) Emergency response procedures have been coordinated between the stationary source and local emergency planning and response organizations.(C) The owner or operator of a stationary source at which a covered process is present is subject to program 2 requirements established under division (F) of this section if the covered process does not meet the conditions established under division (B) or (D) of this section.(D) The owner or operator of a stationary source at which a covered process is present is subject to program 3 requirements established under division (G) of this section if the covered process does not meet the conditions established under division (B) of this section and either of the following conditions is met: (1) The process is in standard industrial classification code 2611, 2812, 2819, 2821, 2865, 2869, 2873, 2879, or 2911;(2) The process is subject to the United States occupational safety and health administration safety management standard under 29 C.F.R. 1910.119.(E) The owner or operator of a stationary source at which one or more covered processes are present that meet the conditions established under division (B) of this section shall comply with all of the following program 1 requirements:(1) Submit with the risk management plan an analysis of the worst case release scenario for each covered process and documentation that the nearest public receptor is beyond the distance to a toxic or flammable endpoint;(2) Submit with the risk management plan a five-year accident history for the process;(3) Ensure that response actions have been coordinated with local emergency planning and response agencies;(4) Certify in the risk management plan that "Based upon criteria in rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code, the distance to the specified endpoint for the worst case release scenario for the following process(es) is less than the distance to the nearest public receptor: (list processes). Within the past five years, the process(es) has (have) had no accidental release that caused off-site impacts as described in rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code. No additional measures are necessary to prevent off-site impacts from accidental releases. In the event of fire, explosion, or a release of a regulated substance from the process(es), entry within the distance to the specified endpoints may pose a danger to public emergency responders. Therefore, public emergency responders should not enter this area except as arranged with the emergency contact indicated in the risk management plan. The undersigned certifies that, to the best of my knowledge, the information submitted is true, accurate, and complete. (signature, title, date signed)"(F) The owner or operator of a stationary source at which one or more covered processes are present that meet the conditions established under division (C) of this section shall comply with all of the following program 2 requirements: (1) Develop and implement a management system in accordance with rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code;(2) Conduct a hazard assessment in accordance with rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code;(3) Implement program 2 prevention requirements or implement program 3 prevention requirements in accordance with rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code;(4) Submit as part of the risk management plan information on prevention program elements for covered processes that are subject to program 2 requirements;(5) Develop and implement an emergency response program in accordance with rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code.(G) The owner or operator of a stationary source at which one or more covered processes are present that meet the conditions established under division (D) of this section shall comply with all of the following program 3 requirements: (1) Develop and implement a management system in accordance with rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code;(2) Conduct a hazard assessment in accordance with rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code;(3) Implement program 3 prevention requirements in accordance with rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code;(4) Submit as part of the risk management plan information on prevention program elements for covered processes that are subject to program 3 requirements;(5) Develop and implement an emergency response program in accordance with rules adopted under section 3753.02 of the Revised Code.(H) If at any time a covered process at a stationary source no longer meets the conditions established under this section for its program level, the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of the new program level that applies to the covered process and shall update the risk management plan and information submitted with it not later than six months after the change in compliance with this chapter and rules adopted under it.Effective Date: 9/30/1998.
