WASTE MANAGEMENT FEDERAL SERVICES Manual HNF-IP-0263-CWC<br />

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.
