EEIVED <br />The WAA Operator must: JAN 14 2016 <br />1. Stop waste container handling operations. ENVIRONMENTAL <br />2. Initiate the following onsite response activities: HEALTH DEPARTMENT <br />A. Dial extension 911 to contact the Fire Department Dispatch, or use a <br />handheld radio, call sign "MIKE", to contact the CAS Operator. <br />B. Identify his/her name. <br />C. Give the location of release (including the fact that it is at Site 300) and any <br />injured parties. Include WAA number, cross streets, and significant <br />landmarks. <br />D. Indicate the nature of the release, if known (i.e., material identification, <br />quantity, and extent of release). <br />E. Remain on the phone (if it is safe to do so) to verify the information given to <br />the Fire Department and receive further instructions. <br />F. Request the Fire Department to contact the ES&H Team Environmental <br />Analyst, the Site 300 ES&H Team Deputy Leader, and the H&S Technician. <br />3. Give emergency aid to the injured, if possible. <br />4. Notify the WAA Coordinator. <br />4.2.4.3 Removal of Liquids in Secondary Containment <br />All liquid waste containers are stored on secondary containment pallets to contain <br />accidental releases. Depending on the source of liquid, the liquid wastes may be <br />hazardous, radioactive, mixed or nonhazardous. When liquids are observed in <br />secondary containment, the source of the liquid must be determined. If the liquid is <br />determined to be rainwater, contact the RHWM Tech for assistance with removal. <br />However, the amount of rainwater collected can and should be kept to a minimum <br />through proper preventive measures such as covering the waste containers and <br />secondary containment pallets stored in an uncovered area with plastic or tarps prior to <br />the rainfall. <br />Liquids within secondary containment must be removed in a timely manner. Large <br />volumes of liquid are pumped into appropriate containers, and small volumes of liquid <br />are absorbed with cloth, paper rags or dry sorb material that is collected into appropriate <br />containers. All liquids captured in berms are collected, sampled, and analyzed unless <br />the source of a spill is readily traceable. Waste sampling and analysis are not <br />necessary if the waste contents are known. Contact the ES&H Team Environmental <br />Analyst for assistance. <br />4.2.4.4 Removal of Released Waste Solids <br />If hazardous or mixed solid waste is released, the waste will be repackaged and left in <br />the WAA or transferred to the permitted onsite DTSC authorized facility for future <br />shipment offsite to a permitted TSDF. <br />15 January 2016 <br />
