Smaller containers may require the placement of a steel <br /> plate under one inch of absorbent mixture to facilitate the <br /> crushing operation. The containers will then be crushed by a <br /> Cat-225 trackhoe using the bucket of the machine. The trackhoe <br /> will be equipped with a supplied air respiratory system and a 3/4 <br /> inch thick explosion shield. <br /> The contained fluid, solid, or semisolid will be absorbed by <br /> the inert bed material. Cyanide and Sulfide monitors equipped <br /> with audible alarms will be positioned on the downwind side of <br /> the consolidation bed. If the monitors sound an alert, lime <br /> positioned adjacent to the bed will be spread over the bed with <br /> the trackhoe. Likewise, a sand pile will be adjacent to the bed <br /> for use as fire control. <br /> f <br /> Following consolidation, the sand bed will be removed <br /> with a CAT-225 trackhoe and placed in 17H drums. Analysis of the <br /> bed contents will follow the procedures detailed in the Waste <br /> Stream Characterization plan (Section 2.2 .3) . The drums will be <br /> surrounded by a barrier tape and signs erected to deter access <br /> by unauthorized personnel until analysis is completed. <br /> With the exception of the removal from the drum, <br /> segregation, and placement in the sand bed, the unknown <br /> container consolidation will be a totally mechanical <br /> process. Personnel protection will, at all times be <br /> Level B. With the exception of the trackhoe operator, all <br /> personnel will be positioned upwind of the consolidation <br /> area; the operator will also be positioned as upwind as much <br /> as possible. <br /> s <br /> r, <br /> OHM <br />
