c)         The provisions of the contingency plan shall be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, release of waste or waste constituents to the environment, or an unscheduled closure of the facility, either temporary or permanent.

d)         The plan shall contain provisions for conducting on-site drills prior to initial receipt of waste for disposal.
