Initially minimize area affected uy the spill or leak. Block any potential routes to water systems (e.g., sewers, streams, lakes, etc.). Based on the product's toxicological and chemical properties, and on the size and location of the spill or leak, assess the impact on contaminated environments (e.g. water systems, ground, air equipment, etc.). There are no methods available to completely eliminate any toxicity this product may have on aquatic environments. Minimize adverse effects on these environments. Buckman Laboratories, Inc. can be contacted for technical assistance. Determine if federal, state, and/or local release notification is required (see Regulatory Classifications section of this MSDS). Recover as much of the pure product as possible into appropriate containers. Later, determine if this recovered product can be used for its intended purpose. Address clean-up of contaminated environments. Spill or leak residuals may have to be collected and disposed of. Clay, soil, or commercially available absorbents may be used to recover any material that can not readily be recovered as pure product. Flushing residual material to an industrial sewer, if present at the site of a spill or leak incident, MU be acceptable if authorized approval is obtained. If product and/or spill/leak residuals are flushed to an industrial sewer, insure that they do not come into contact with incompatible materials. Contact the person(s) responsible for the operation of your facility's industrial sewer system prior to intentionally flushing or pumping spills or leaks of this product to the industrial sewer.
