6.2 Unloading Unloaders will ask the participants to turn off their engines, extinguish any smoking materials, request that the participants remain in their vehicle, screen the waste for unacceptable or dangerous items, unload the waste, and question any unlabeled or odd items. Unloaded items will be placed in single layers on the top of the cart and taken to the segregation area. 6.3 Hot Zone (Lab Packing, Loose Packing, Bulking) The Hot Zone (Exclusion Zone) will be the area for those conducting categorization, segregation, packing of (loose pack) flammables, corrosives, poisons, etc., and bulking. This zone will also contain the "lab pack" area, which include hazardous categorization (HAZCAT); where unknown materials will be tested to determine their proper classification. No smoking, eating or drinking will be allowed within this hot zone, and all occupants in the zone must be properly attired at all times. 6.4 Bulking Only motor oil, antifreeze and latex paint will be bulked during collection hours. This operation will continue during collection until all materials are bulked. All water-based latex paints will be separated from oil-based paint during segregation. After collection from the public has terminated, flammable liquids may be bulked on-site. During bulking operations, safety glasses, goggles or face shields, PVC or nitrile gloves, tyvek jumpsuit or apron, and steel -toed shoes must be worn at all times. • No smoking or ignition sources of any sort will be allowed within 50 feet of the liquids bulking areas. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Section 66730, personnel participating in bulking operations shall follow the procedures described below: • Each container shall be emptied as much as possible so that material within the container, when inverted, can no longer be poured or drained. Each 5 -gallons and/or less in capacity container as emptied must be managed by puncturing or otherwise changing the container to prevent subsequent use or reuse, prior to disposal at a solid waste facility or reclamation of its scrap value. 6.5 Reuse Area As feasible, a reuse area may be set up where participants can obtain reusable materials. This area will be located away from the main unloading area and in such a place so as not to impede exiting vehicles. It shall be manned by at least one person who will be responsible for implementing the required Re -Use Guidelines and obtaining a signature on the required Release of Liability Form. 6.6 Decontamination Area (Warm Zone) Decontamination of equipment and personnel is necessary to confine the contaminants to the exclusion zone. Prior to leaving the exclusion zone, all major equipment, tools and materials will be cleaned to remove grease, oil, or other contamination. PSC will provide the necessary components for personnel and equipment decontamination. 9
