Cleaning caustics - tank and floor cleaning . This <br /> substance is referred to as hypo-chloride solution and <br /> is used in a 2 - 5% concentration level similar to that <br /> of household bleach . This product is received by the <br /> Applicant in 50 gallon drums , and is stored in our <br /> chemical storage area , which is near eye-wash shower <br /> and drains . Employees using this substance are required <br /> to wear goggles and protective gloves . Because the <br /> solution used of this substance is basically the same <br /> concentrated level as household bleach , excess amounts <br /> of the substance used in cleaning are washed down the <br /> normal sewer and drain systems . <br /> Activated carbon - used as a wine additive . This <br /> substance is added directly to our wine in the storage <br /> tanks . All employees wear respirators when handling this <br /> substance . Any spillage of this substance during use is <br /> simply hosed down into our normal drain and sewer system. <br /> The Applicant also intends to install an ion exchanger used <br /> to adjust the PH in our wine products . This ion exchanger <br /> utilizes sulphuric acid . The sulphuric acid is delivered <br /> by a vendor who loads our holding tank directly in a sealed <br /> process . Our holding tanks will be contracted in an area <br /> surrounded by a concrete retaining wall that will retain <br /> any spillage within that specific area . if a leak would <br /> take place , proper authorities would be notified immediately <br /> by the applicant . Employees do not handle this substance <br /> directly . The use of this substance is handled by way of <br /> manipulating valves within the entire ion exchange system. <br /> These valves are also located within the concrete retaining <br /> wall . While employees are using these valves , they wear all <br /> protective clothing, including goggles . <br /> -26- <br />
