Manzo [EH] <br /> Subject: FW: 3097419102 <br /> Attachments: MSDS LB-92.doc <br /> On 2/10/2014, Fedex Freight was notified that trailer EMHU296778 was placed in the Union Pacific Lathrop rail <br /> yard hazmat pit due to an unknown product discovered dripping from the trailer. Union Pacific dispatched NRC <br /> Environmental to provide remediation. NRC Environmental recovered 7 damaged 5 gallon pails of UN1263 paint <br /> and overpacked them into 2—55 gallon recovery drums. They used absorbent to clean up as much of the spilled <br /> product as possible and created 3 —55 gallon drums of absorbent containing paint. They washed the trailer and <br /> captured the water into 2—55 gallon drums. <br /> On 2/12/2014, Fedex Freight obtained disposition from the shipper and owner of the product. Lanning Chemical <br /> Co would like the 7 damaged pails of paint returned to them in order to put the remaining contents back into <br /> their process to make more paint. The authorization is below. Fedex will request NRC Environmental properly <br /> label and transport the material to our Stockton facility on a BOL to return to Lanning Chemical Co as UN1263, <br /> Paint, 3, II. <br /> In regards to the 3 drums of absorbent containing paint. These drums contain aprox 95-99%absorbent and 1- <br /> 5% paint. These drums will be marked as absorbent containing paint. <br /> Using generator knowledge, these drums do not exhibit a characteristic. <br /> M listed waste? No <br /> Appendix X waste? No <br /> California Hazardous waste? No <br /> In regards to the 2 drums of rinse water that contains traces of paint. These drums contain 1-5% paint max. Per <br /> the MSDS the specific gravity of this particular paint is 1.37, so the paint residue in the water would sink to the <br /> bottom, meaning that this product will not flash. These drums will be marked at rinse water containing traces of <br /> paint. <br /> Using generator knowledge, these drums do not exhibit a characteristic. <br /> M listed waste? No <br /> Appendix X waste? No <br /> California Hazardous waste? No <br /> This is how we are going to classify these products. I am still looking through the regs to see if there is anything <br /> that would prevent the drums of absorbent and rinse water from moving on a BOL to our closest facility to be <br /> held for disposal. This is not something that I have come across before as an issue. If you have a regulatory <br /> reference to assist me that would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, we will have NRC Environmental <br /> label the non haz drums at the UP railyard to ensure we meet our 10 day labeling deadline required by the state. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Steven Chaney <br /> FedEx Freight Inc. <br /> Emergency Response Specialist <br /> Southwest Region <br /> Office:501-860-7904 <br /> 2/18/2014 <br />
