73 <br /> County of Orange,NC RFP#5183 <br /> ( <br /> We will set aside an area at collection site designated for the classification of unknown <br /> compounds. Here the Project Manager will perform quantitative and qualitative tests to <br /> determine the physical and chemical properties of each unknown compound. <br /> "Fingerprint"tests determine whether a compound is acidic,basic, water reactive, a cyanide,a <br /> sulfide,an oxidizing agent,and/or a combination of hazards. <br /> Once these properties are determined,chemicals with similar hazards will be packaged together <br /> by DOT classification in 5-gallon containers for incineration. Any chemicals that are not <br /> compatible will be placed in their own containers for disposal. All"unknown"materials will be <br /> packaged and treated as a"Reactive Labpack". <br /> Bulking Procedures <br /> Individual containers to be poured will be transferred to poly-covered tables adjacent to the pour <br /> operations. Any containers that are questionable will be removed for later inspection. The entire <br /> side and top exterior surfaces of all glass and plastic containers will be wiped with a wet rag;and <br /> each container will be opened slowly to relieve any pressure. <br /> Next the container contents are poured into a receptacle fitted over the collection drum. To <br /> allow for vapor headspaee, drums are considered filled to capacity at approximately fifty gallons. <br /> After reaching capacity,the drums will be closed,and drum tracking numbers, labels and <br /> applicable markings will be attached. <br /> When bulking paint and other flammable liquids,Clean Harbors'personnel will wipe down each <br /> open-head steel drum with a damp rag,and attach flexible grounding cables. Only non-sparking <br /> bung wrenches, screwdrivers and other tools for opening containers will be used. In addition a <br /> twenty pound ABC fire extinguisher will be placed within the consolidation area to comply with <br /> safety protocol. <br /> - _ Employees opening containers and consolidating <br /> flammable materials will be dressed In Level C <br /> f:'personal protective equipment that includes: <br /> .'31 n!"..7, ''.t..,—:—.Air 14::',V• .
