viii. Hazardous Waste Storage Area <br />A hazardous waste storage area is located near the northeast corner of <br />the Service Center yard. Hazardous wastes are temporarily stored here <br />prior to shipment to a licensed hazardous waste disposal facility. <br />Fifty-five gallon drums of waste oil or oil containing PCBs with <br />concentrations of 5-500 ppm may be stored in this area. Drums of spent <br />solvent or empty paint/solvent containers may also be stored in this <br />area. The greatest potential for spillage is during movement of a <br />transformer drum when it could be dropped from a forklift. The hazardous <br />waste storage area is clearly labeled as a waste storage area. <br />Operations and maintenance personnel are trained in safe operation of <br />forklifts to avoid such accidents. The maximum spill volume would be 750 <br />gallons. The spill would be retained and cleaned up immediately. <br />ix. Drums of Oil <br />There are usually two to ten 55 gallon drums of transformer oil located <br />just outside the Transformer Repair Building. This oil is used to refill <br />transformers after repair. <br />There are usually two to five 55 gallon drums of oil or grease stored <br />next to the Auto Repair Shop Storage Shed. <br />These drums are stored upright and against a wall where they are less <br />likely to overturn. The highest potential for spillage is during <br />movement of a drum. The spill volume would be 0-55 gallons. This type of <br />spill would be noticed and corrective actions would be initiated <br />immediately. <br />X. Fuel Islands <br />There is a fuel island with two pumps which transfer unleaded gasoline <br />and a fuel island with one pump which transfers diesel fuel from the <br />underground fuel storage tank to the fleet vehicles. The pumps are <br />equipped with automatic shut-off valves to prevent over -filling during <br />the pumping process. Small spills, 0-5 gallons, which may occur are <br />confined and cleaned immediately. <br />G. Fire Potential: <br />All hazardous materials and wastes are stored in regulation containers, <br />minimizing the possibility of fire. All storage areas are inspected weekly <br />and an inspection log is kept by qualified facility personnel. "No Smoking," <br />"Flammable" and other appropriate signs are posted where combustible or <br />flammable materials or wastes are handled, used, or stored. Storage areas and <br />firefighting water supply, fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems are <br />regularly inspected and comply with all applicable NFPA and local <br />requirements. Responsible facility personnel have been trained in fire <br />prevention techniques and incident stage fire suppression. <br />REV. 11-87 <br />3-7 <br />
