• f. Aisle space is sufficient to allow unobstructed movement of emergency equipment and personnel is provided. Specify height and width of aisles. In the hazardous waste storage Buildings 530 and 605, a minimum aisle space of 56 inches will be maintained for movement of forklifts. A floor plan for each building is shown in Figures VI-2, VI-3, and VI-4. 2. Identify methods of collection and disposal of waste water used to decontaminate equipment. Heavy equipment such as forklifts and dolly trains will either be steam cleaned and the waste water will be contained and handled as hazardous or wiped down with an appropriate solvent and the materials used to wipe down the equipment handled as a hazardous waste. The decontamination of heavy equipment would be completed at the Pesticide Building 49. This building has been specifically designed for handling heavy equipment. The floors are epoxy lined and any washdown water would flow to a sump where the decontamination residues can be pumped into 55-gallon containers if found to be hazardous and not reuseable within the pesticide application program. 3. Describe operation procedures to ensure that chance of fire or explosion is minimized. Operational and emergency procedures taken by SHAD personnel in case of fire, explosion, or spill at the storage facilities are addressed in the ISCP and SPCCP. These documents are bound separately and included in the Sharpe • Army Depot Hazardous Waste Management Plan. (See Annex I and J) The office at Building 605 is equipped with a Thorn Automated Fire System which is hooked up to Sharpe's Fire Department alarm system. The four sensors detect heat and smoke triggering an automatic fire alarm response. A smoke detector alarm is also placed in the office. There are also two pull-type alarms as back ups, along with a 50 lb. Halon fire extinguisher, and three 15 lb. dry chemical extinguishers for class B and C fires. The HWF manager has knowledge of the capabilities of the various extinguishers and has been trained on the proper and safe way to operate same. Inspections are conducted daily at both facilities (Building 605 and 530) for container integrity (leakage) , container decay, odors previously not detected, safe placement and compatibility of containers, and proper operation of emergency equipment (e.g. , alarms, eyewashes, showers, etc. ) . Emergency eye wash and shower are located as follows; one inside building 605 and the other outside same near the staging and consolidation areas. VIII-15 •
