Additionally, Emergency Procedures are on file with San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services (OES). See Attachment 1. Evacuation plans for the facility are posted and can be found in Attachment 2. Properties of Hazardous Materials Gasoline and denatured ethanol are both flammable materials with flash point <100 F. Gasoline contains the carcinogen benzene. According the Emergency Response Guide Book, Gasoline is polar and water miscible (ERG 127) while ethanol is water immiscible (ERG 128). Note specials alcohol resistant foams are needed to fight Ethanol fires. Additional information is available by review of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) filed onsite. See Attachment 3, Hazardous Waste Properties of hazardous waste handled at the facility vary depending on the source of waste generation. Most routinely the terminal stores non-hazardous petroleum contaminated debris on-site in 55 gallon drums. However, in the event of a hazardous material release or spill the terminal may generate hazardous waste from it's spill clean up activities. These materials could be saturated with gasoline and/or ethanol making the material flammable as well as toxic due to the presence of benzene_ The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations refer to these wastes as Flammable — D001 and Benzene — 0018. On occasion, if there is construction or tank maintenance work at the site, other types of hazardous waste can be generated. Theses wastes may include flammable liquid wastes and solids or waste materials containing metals such as lead. In accordance with all state and federal regulation these wastes are routinely transported offsite by approved waste transporters for final disposal or recycling. Response Procedures with County Agencies In the event of an emergency event such as fires, explosions or releases involving hazardous material or wastes our employees are trained to respond and make proper regulatory notifications to activate a response by various agencies such as local response authorities by calling 911, State OES, National Response Center and the San Joaquin County OES. We also have contracted emergency response personnel that would be activated to bring equipment necessary to manage the containment and clean up of large releases or spills. In the event of a spill or release of hazardous materials or wastes, the following. services may be needed: 13.Port Stockton Police to assist in securing the release area while on port property and road ways. 14.Stockton Police and/or California Highway Patrol to assist in securing the release area while on public road ways or at ARCO stations.
