19. For all spills involving oil with known or suspected PCBs the Emergency <br />Coordinator will advise emergency response personnel to wear the following <br />protective clothing: disposable saranex-coated coveralls, plastic <br />overshoes, solvex gloves, face shields and, if appropriate, respirators. <br />Sleeves of coveralls will be taped to eliminate possible exposure of hands <br />and wrists to hazardous materials. <br />20. If facility operations are stopped, monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, <br />gas generation, or ruptures in valves, pipes or other equipment. <br />21. IF ABLE TO DO SO SAFELY, clean up small spills using the following steps: <br />a. Contain all free-flowing liquids with proper absorbent compound. <br />b. Sweep up absorbent compound with stiff brooms and place in a 55 -gallon <br />drum. <br />c. Spread second application of absorbent compound over spill area. <br />After a few minutes, sweep area with stiff brooms and place material <br />in a drum. <br />d. Place all materials used in spill cleanup in approved containers for <br />disposal. <br />e. Properly label all drums. <br />22. For large spills, the Emergency Coordinator will call for the assistance <br />of a cleanup company which is on contract with PG&E. Cleanup resources <br />are listed in Section 4E. These firms have the necessary equipment, such <br />as vacuum trucks, pumps and sorbents, for cleanup of major spills. <br />23. If PCB or PCB -contaminated oil is spilled, notify the Division PCB <br />Coordinator who will make the appropriate General Office notifications. <br />24. For spills in buildings or on paved areas, a second application of <br />absorbent will be spread over the contaminated area and swept with stiff <br />brooms to remove residues which may remain. If PCB or PCB -contaminated <br />oil or debris is spilled, the surface will then be scrubbed with stiff <br />brooms using Penetone Power Cleaner No. 155. The surface will <br />subsequently be swabbed with mops or rags. Absorbent will then be placed <br />on the surface and swept up to remove any remaining moisture. <br />25. For spills on soil with PCB concentrations less than 50 ppm, the _ <br />contaminated soil will be removed until there is no visible evidence of <br />contamination. For spills of oil containing a PCB concentration of <br />greater than 50 ppm, sampling and soil removal will be performed until the <br />remaining soil contains less than 50 ppm PCB. Removed soil will be placed <br />in approved waste containers for disposal in accordance with applicable <br />regulations. <br />5-27 <br />
