2. Emergency Equipment at the Dealership: Tracy Dodge Chrysler Jeep relies primarily upon community provided services for emergency response. Consequently, the variety and availability of on-site emergency equipment is limited. Response equipment typically present at the dealership includes a. Spill absorption material: The dealership maintains a supply of absorbent material in all service areas. This material can serve as an effective tool in containing and cleaning up a spill. The material can be used to dam off the flow of a hazardous material. After any release is contained, the absorbent material can be spread over the liquid until it has been placed in sufficient volume to absorb the released liquid. The contaminated absorbent material should then be collected and placed in a drum or other containment for disposal, normally as a hazardous waste. b. Personal Protective Equipment: This equipment is limited to the following: Eauioment Location Safety Glasses Service dept. (issued to technicians) Rubber Gloves Parts washers Fire Extinguishers All services areas This equipment is available for use when routinely handling hazardous materials common to this dealership. It can also be used under emergency conditions. C. Hazardous waste hauler: Under certain conditions, hazardous waste haulers can be of great service during a release or threatened release of a hazardous material, For example, a hauler can empty a tank that appears to be failing. If a spill is contained, they may be able to pump up a substantial portion of the liquid, thereby reducing the time and cost of cleanup. The following haulers should be contacted in the event of an emergency: • Lube Oil/Used Oil: Asbury Environmental,(800)727-2879 • Solvents: Safety-Kleen,(209)545-1011 Note: In the event the above haulers cannot be contacted, additional haulers can normally be located in the yellow pages of the telephone book under "Oils-Waste" and "Waste Disposal-Industrial". 3. Spill Containment and Clean Up: As noted above, the dealership relies primarily upon community provided services for emergency response to a release of a hazardous material. The following procedures should be generally followed when cleaning up a release: a. Shut off and eliminate all sources of ignition. b. Attempt to prevent any additional release (if possible). An example would be closing a leaking valve or turning off a pump that is causing a release. C. Contain the spill by diking around it using sand, earth or other absorbent material. If necessary,dike around storm or sanitary sewer drains. HMMP-Tracy Dodge Chrysler Jeep 0900vCA ©KPA,LLC A.3
