OF HANFORD, INC.<br />
BUILDING EMERGENCY PLAN FOR Page 30 of 37<br />
CENTRAL WASTE COMPLEX Effective Date July 1, 1998<br />
8.3 INCOMPATIBLE WASTE<br />
After an event, the BED or the onsite recovery organization ensures<br />
that no waste that might be incompatible with the released material is<br />
treated, stored, and/or disposed until cleanup is completed. Cleanup actions<br />
are taken by CWC personnel or other assigned personnel. DOE/RL-94-02,<br />
Section 8.3, describes action to be taken, which might include, but are not<br />
limited to, any of the following:<br />
• Neutralization of corrosive spills<br />
• Chemical treatment of reactive materials to reduce hazards<br />
• Overpacking or transfer of contents from leaking containers<br />
• Use of sorbents to contain and/or absorb leaking liquids for<br />
containerization and storage and/or disposal<br />
• Decontamination of solid surfaces impacted by released material,<br />
e.g., intact containers, equipment, floors, containment systems,<br />
etc.<br />
• Disposal of contaminated porous materials that cannot be<br />
decontaminated and any contaminated soil<br />
• Containerizing and sampling of recovered materials for<br />
classification and determination for proper management<br />
• Followup sampling of decontaminated surfaces to determine adequacy<br />
of cleanup techniques as appropriate.<br />
Waste from cleanup activities is designated and managed as newly<br />
generated waste. A field check for compatibility before storage is performed,<br />
as necessary. Incompatible waste is not placed in the same container.<br />
Containers of waste are placed in approved storage areas appropriate for their<br />
compatibility class.<br />
If incompatibility of waste was a factor in the incident, the BED or<br />
the onsite recovery organization ensures that the cause is corrected.<br />
Examples include modification of an incompatibility chart or increased<br />
scrutiny of waste from an offsite generator or onsite generating unit when<br />
incorrectly designated waste caused or contributed to an incident.<br />
8.4 POST EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND DECONTAMINATION<br />
All equipment used during an incident is decontaminated (if<br />
practicable) or disposed of as spill debris. Decontaminated equipment is<br />
checked for proper operation before storage for subsequent use. Consumables<br />
and disposable materials are restocked. Fire extinguishers are recharged or<br />
replaced.
