5.14 WASTE MANAGEMENT <br /> 5.14.4.1.2 Hazardous Wastes <br /> Most of the hazardous waste generated during construction will consist of liquid waste, such <br /> as excavation dewatering water,flushing and cleaning fluids,passivating fluids, and <br /> solvents. Some solid waste,in the form of welding materials and dried paint,may also be <br /> generated. Nonhazardous materials will be used whenever possible to minimize the quantity <br /> of hazardous waste generated. The construction contractor will be the generator of hazardous <br /> construction waste and will be responsible for proper handling in compliance with all <br /> applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including licensing, training of <br /> personnel,accumulation limits and times, and reporting and recordkeeping. The hazardous <br /> waste will be collected in satellite accumulation containers near the points of generation. This <br /> waste will be moved daily to the contractor's 90-day hazardous waste storage area,located at <br /> the plant construction laydown area. The waste will be delivered to an authorized hazardous <br /> waste management facility,before expiration of the 90-day storage limit. <br /> 5.14.4.2 Operation Phase <br /> Handling requirements and mitigation measures for the handling of wastes during <br /> operation are described in the following sections. <br /> 5.14.4.2.1 Nonhazardous Wastes <br /> Wastewater from facility sinks,toilets, and showers will be disposed of using the WPCF. <br /> Nonhazardous solid waste or refuse will be collected and deposited in a local landfill. <br /> Whenever practical,recycling will be implemented throughout the facility to minimize the <br /> quantity of nonhazardous waste that must be disposed of in a landfill. <br /> 5.14.4.2.2 Hazardous Wastes <br /> To avoid the potential effects on human health and the environment from handling and <br /> disposing of hazardous wastes,procedures will be developed to ensure proper labeling, <br /> storage,packaging,recordkeeping, and disposal of all hazardous wastes. The following <br /> general procedures will be employed: <br /> • The LEC will be classified as a hazardous waste generator and will obtain a site-specific <br /> EPA identification number that will be used to manifest hazardous waste from the LEC <br /> facility. Hazardous waste from the LEC facility will be stored on site for less than <br /> 90 days before offsite disposal,treatment, or recycling. <br /> • Hazardous wastes will be accumulated at the generating facility according to the <br /> California Code of Regulations Title 22 requirements for satellite accumulation. <br /> • Hazardous wastes will be stored in appropriately segregated storage areas surrounded <br /> by berms to contain leaks and spills. The bermed areas will be sized to hold the full <br /> contents of the largest single container and,if not roofed, sized for an additional <br /> 20 percent to allow for rainfall. These areas will be inspected daily. <br /> • Hazardous wastes will be collected by a licensed hazardous waste hauler,using a <br /> hazardous waste manifest. Wastes will only be shipped to authorized hazardous waste <br /> management facilities. Biannual hazardous waste generator reports will be prepared and <br /> submitted to the DTSC. Copies of manifests,reports,waste analyses,and other documents <br /> will be kept onsite and will remain accessible for inspection for at least 3 years. <br /> SACI3713221082330007(LEC_5.14_WASTE MANAGEMENT.DOC) 5.14-13 <br />
