3.0 Response Actions Version :27.10.4 Large Response Equipment Consideration must be given to establishing a decontamination process for large response equipment such as boats, back-hoes, fire apparatus, and boom. Locate an area at the edge of the Hot Zone where contaminated equipment can be isolated and the decontamination process can be undertaken. Physical barriers must be erected to limit the spread of the contaminants and to allow for collecting the decontamination solution. Cleaning solutions should be physically separated and arranged in order of descending contamination, as in personal decontamination. Equipment must be physically moved or driven to the next decon station. Rinse solution, spent neutralization agent, or other contaminated solutions shall be collected and be stored in drums or be diverted to the process sewer system. These materials shall be sampled and tests performed to determine if they meet the definition of regulated hazardous materials or waste. Electronic Equipment Procedures shall be instituted to limit the contamination of electronic equipment such as laptop computers, radios, meters, or other electronic equipment. Only necessary or required electronic equipment should enter the Hot Zone. If electronic equipment must enter the contaminated area, covering the equipment with plastic prior to entering the Hot Zone will reduce the overall level of contamination. An isolation area should be established at the edge of the Hot Zone for electronic equipment such as radios, which may be required in the Hot Zone and are difficult to decontaminate. Once the event is completed, contaminated equipment should be decontaminated, if possible, or stored in recovery drums and be considered waste material.
