occurs, or if accidents occur. Contamination could occur anywhere in the facility if waste oil is spilled or leaks, and could also occur in the laboratory where other chemicals are used in waste oil analysis. Mitigation Measure. As a hazardous waste, all used oil brought to the site must be accompanied by a manifest. Falcon Energy Associates plans to apply for a variance to use a modified manifest procedure for drain lubricant. The Operations Plan describes the manifest procedures, which must be agreed to by the lubricant generator. No deliveries would be accepted from the public. Upon arrival at the facility, the waste would be identified and analyzed at the on-site laboratory, whose employees would be required to comply with safe-operating procedures. The following tests would be performed: water content, specific gravity, chloride concentration and flash point. These tests would help to ensure: 1) that the oil is not contaminated with hazardous materials such as PCBs; 2) that it is not highly flammable; 3) that its water content is acceptable; and 4) that it does not contain significant amounts of metals. The intentional contami- nation of used oil with any other hazardous waste is illegal . Oil which is not acceptable based on manifest inspection or laboratory analysis would be returned to the supplier, sold to another recycler or trans- ported to a permitted hazardous waste facility. On-site facilities would include a nearly enclosed system for handling waste oil , a two-foot high berm around the oil processing area, personal safety gear (respirators, gloves, boots, etc.) and the following equipment: • telephones at key locations; • a warning system covering the entire site; • a safety shower and an eye wash station; • first aid supplies; and • spill control equipment. During operation of the facility, Occupational , Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and procedures should be followed. These 3-16 104-9.R3 4/11/89
