19. HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

This plan establishes guidelines for the proper storage, handling, and disposal of
flammable/combustible liquids and potentially hazardous wastes generated by the Project
during the course of construction.

References:-

A. GENERAL

Contractor shall maintain a bookcase, centrally located, of all hazardous waste and waste areas
on the project and document all disposals.

Contractor is responsible for maintaining a copy of Material Safety Data Sheet(s) of all
hazardous waste on site for Contractor’s own reference and employee training. A complete set
of MSDS copies shall also be kept at Contractor’s medical facilities and the medical staff must
be fully familiar with the contents thereof.

The legal storage, use and disposal of wastes of any hazardous chemicals or substances are the

and disposal of hazardous waste.

C. DEFINITIONS

1. Hazardous Waste

Wastes (includes liquids, semi-solids or combination gaseous material) or a


combination of solid wastes which, because of the quantity, concentration, or physical,

Any liquid having a flash point below 60 C (140F).

3. Combustible Liquid

Any liquid having a flash point at or above 60 C (140F) and below 93 C (200F).

4. Flash Point

The minimum temperature, at which a substance gives off a flammable vapor which, in
contact with a spark or flame, will ignite.

5. Spill or Leak

Any release of hazardous material or hazardous waste into the environment.

D. EQUIPMENT

A fire extinguisher rated not less 20AB will be mounted no closer than 8 meters (25 ft). and no
further than 24 meters (75 ft.) from the Flammable, Combustible Liquid and Hazardous Waste
Collection Storage Area.

E. SIGNS

Signs will be mounted one on each side. Each sign will be visible at all times. Every sign will
read, "DANGER, FLAMMABLE STORAGE AREA, NO SMOKING WITHIN 16
METERS (50 FT.)"

F. HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION

1. A 55-gallon drum container will be provided by the existing facility for collection and
storage onsite of hazardous wastes. The container must be labeled "HAZARDOUS
WASTE." A schedule for pickup and disposal at 90-day or sooner intervals has been
coordinated with the following Project personnel.

Contact Personnel -

2. A receptacle must be provided for the collection of used containers of hazardous wastes
(i.e., paint cans, aerosol cans, oil cans, etc.). The receptacle will be located in the
Flammable, Combustible Liquids and Hazardous Waste Accumulation Storage Area.
All containers must be completely empty before placing in dumpster.

COLLECTION AND STORAGE AREA LAYOUT SPECIFICATIONS

1. Spill Confinement - A 300-mm (12-inch) minimum earth dike (berm) shall surround the
perimeter of the storage area for spill confinement.

2. Ground Cover - A non-permeable ground covering shall be placed on the storage area
floor to prevent spills from contaminating ground soil.

3. Drain Pipe - A drain pipe shall be positioned to facilitate and control drainage of water
and/or contaminants from the flammable storage area. The drain pipe must be a type
that can be capped for control of drainage.

pH and total organic carbon need to be analyzed before disposal.

4. Perimeter Barrier - The perimeter will be identified by orange safety netting or similar
or better material with stakes at proper intervals to support the barrier.

5. Access - The entrance should be of sufficient width so that project forklifts might enter
and pick up heavy loads. Heavy drums or containers will be put on pallets to allow safe
handling by project forklifts.
