any accidental release or spill. Should an accidental non -permitted discharge occur United will immediately contain and clean the release and inform the City's Public Works Representative. During service operations if chemicals or hazardous waste are found the City will be notified immediately, and a determination will be made by the City on a case -by -case basis on how the situation will be addressed. Waste Identification & Profiling United's Field Staff will utilize the HAZ CAT method of identifying unknown materials. Unknown substances will be identified based upon the results of a series of bench tests. This information is vital in determining how wastes are to be packaged, shipped and disposed of, as well as what safety precautions are required for field personnel. Additional laboratory analysis will be obtained and submitted to disposal facilities along with waste profile forms. Customer waste profiles will be tracked internally and will be rushed through disposal facility waste acceptance procedures as needed. Lab Packing Guidelines United's generalized lab packing methodology would begin with careful visual inspection and inventory or the review of provided inventory of chemicals to be removed. Trained chemists, certified hazardous material managers (CHMMs), certified environmental compliance managers (CECMs), hazardous material technicians/specialists and/or DOT compliance personnel would ensure that all waste is properly identified, and unknown potentially "prohibited and/or restricted" wastes are properly identified using a "Hazard Categorization" system. Chemical containers and their contents would be evaluated and all unsuitable containers (i.e. leaking containers) re -packaged to ensure safety and compliance. Each potentially "prohibited and/or restricted" chemical would be segregated into compatible groups or hazardous classes, inventoried and transferred into over -pack containers, Each over -pack would be sealed and properly labeled. United would prepare all documentation necessary for transportation and proper disposal. Use of United's computerized TDX manifesting system aids in the accuracy of preparing profiles, packing lists, land bans, and manifests that are in accordance with all rules and regulations. The above mentioned process would be completed by obtaining approvals/authorizations from qualified disposal facilities and scheduling transportation. United Storm Water commits that each waste stream, including "prohibited and/or restricted," will be managed efficiently, effectively and in accordance with all federal and state regulations to reduce liability. Emergency Spill Response If United personnel arrive onsite for a spill, and the spill is larger than anticipated or explained during the initial call, United's Dispatcher will be contacted and additional resources will be sent to the site as soon as possible. United has enough personnel and equipment in house to handle most emergency situations, and has accounts with multiple equipment rental companies that can dispatch additional portable tanks and secondary containments if needed for any major releases. Shipping Containers • MUST be UN approved for their contents • May be up to 55-gallon capacity • Must contain an absorbent material that is compatible with the waste and of sufficient amount to absorb all liquids contained therein. • Must have all US DOT and US EPA labels properly filled out • Lab packs MUST have a packing slip/inventory sheet attached to each drum • It is a non -leaking container • It has a known composition • The following information must be, present on the top, side or on a packing list affixed to the drum: Generator Name, Generator address, Proper US DOT Description, Drum Number, Profile Number, Manifest Number • The drum numbers indicated on the manifest must match the drum numbers on the inventory list. • For additional packing requirements or regulations United will consult 49 CFR 173. • The maximum allowable volume of liquid per waste container size and type must be restricted to meet safety requirements for handling, transportation and disposal. 71 P 14000 i.
