1.0 Introduction
Federal and State hazardous waste regulations (40 CFR §265 Subpart D— Contingency Plan and
Emergency Procedures) require that hazardous waste generators (by reference in 40 CFR §
262.34) prepare and implement a Contingency Plan which is designed to minimize hazards to
human health or the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned release of hazardous
waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil or surface water.
Target Corporation, uses the term Environmentally Sensitive Items to describe items that may be
harmful to the environment (including Hazardous Waste).
This Contingency Plan sets out an organized, planned and coordinated course of action to be
followed in case of a fire, explosion, or any unplanned sudden or non - sudden release of
hazardous waste or its hazardous constituents which could threaten human health or the
environment. The provision of this Plan must be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire,
explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents which could threaten
human health or the environment. The following is a list of some potential incidents that could
threaten human heath or the environment:
A spill of a hazardous retail product which can be contained on -site but the potential exists
for groundwater impacts.
A spill of any on -site generated hazardous waste from containers which cannot be
contained on -site resulting in off -site soil contamination and /or ground or surface water
impacts.
A fire which could cause the release of fumes from hazardous waste.
If the fire spreads, it could ignite materials at other locations at the Store (non- waste).
A fire which could spread to off -site areas.
Use of water or water and chemical fire suppressant could results in contaminated run -off.
An imminent danger exists that an explosion could occur, resulting in a safety hazard due
to flying fragments or shock waves.
An imminent danger exists that an explosion could ignite other hazardous wastes or
products at the Store.
Severe Weather or natural disaster that has the potential to impact operations.

If the Emergency Coordinator determines that the Store has had a spill, fire or explosion that
could threaten human health or the environment outside they must report the findings to the
appropriate state and /or local agencies.

disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed; and
All emergency equipment listed in the Contingency Plan is cleaned and ready for its
intended use before operations are resumed.
The Emergency Coordinator, in partnership with Target Headquarters, will investigate the cause
of the emergency and take steps to prevent a recurrence of such incidents.
