State of California-California Environmental Protection Agency Department of Toxic Substances Control 8) Describe: Your ability to properly remove and manage all materials that require special handling. Including, but not limited to: 1.)A technical description of all equipment used in removing and managing the materials, and 2.) List the training provided to personnel who participate in the removal and/or managing of the materials. (Use additional pages as necessary.) MRSH with respect to major appliances (Appliances) include: (a) encapsulated PCBs and DEPH and metal encased capacitors (Capacitors); (b) CFCs, HCFCs and other non- CFC refrigerants (Refrigerants); (c) used oil; and (d) mercury switches and temperature control devices (Switches), in addition to any other material that is a hazardous waste when removed. A. Removal and Management of MRSH The following describes the ability of the facility to properly remove and manage MRSH from those Appliances not received from a certified appliance recycler (CAR). First, the weighmaster at the scale of the facility will inspect each load of scrap materials received at the facility from a supplier not already a CAR to determine whether it contains any Appliances. Second, a designated inspector will inspect each load of scrap material that contains any Appliances to determine whether each such Appliance within that load may require removal of Refrigerants and used oil. The designated inspector then will segregate Appliances from the other scrap material, into one area for those Appliances that may contain Refrigerants and used oil (e.g. refrigerator, freezers, and air conditioning units) and another area for all other Appliances. The facility will collect such Appliances in each area in quantities that are reasonable for efficient removal of MRSH by trained personnel. Once the MRSH are removed, the facility will return the Appliances into the general scrap metal handling areas appropriate for such materials. The facility will handle the Appliances in either of the following ways: o Arrange with an Appliance recycling service (such as Freon Free or American Freon Recovery, or the equivalent) for removal either of all MRSH, or just for removal of Refrigerants and used oil from applicable Appliances (Contractor). o For those Appliances not otherwise handled by a designated Contractor, trained facility personnel will remove MRSH. As of January 1, 2006, the Contractor will (a) remove Refrigerants and used oil from those Appliances potentially containing those MRSH and (b) supervise trained facility personnel as they remove Switches and Capacitors from those Appliances containing those MRSH. Upon removal, the facility will: (a) inspect Capacitors to determine appropriate handling, storage, and disposition; (b) collect Refrigerants in gas cylinders appropriate for the removed Refrigerants; (c) collect the used oil in containers appropriat.e for used oil (e.g. DTSC 1428(04/21/2005) 2 of 2
