Removal Operations <br /> Refrigerant Removal <br /> -Discarded major appliances that contain CFCs are delivered to a central staging <br /> area. The appliances are processed inside of a small mechanical operations <br /> building, where the units are connected to an EPA-certified, and closed loop <br /> refrigerant recovery system. The used refrigerant is evacuated to DOT-41BA-400, <br /> recovery tanks, and temporarily stored pending reclamation. Reclamation is <br /> achieved through the utilization of an ARI-700 compliant, hermetically sealed <br /> Freon reprocessing unit. Reclaimed Freon is recycled and reuse by Freon Free <br /> (707-429-9013). <br /> -Empty refrigerator carcasses are sent back outside and processed in <br /> conformance to the 1991 Metallic Discards Act. AC mechanics are certified to <br /> meet Clean Air Act, Title VI, Section 608 training requirements. <br /> Used Oil Removal <br /> -Used oil is removed from refrigerator compressors employing the use of a drill <br /> press. Punctured compressors are inverted over a funnel table, which (gravity) <br /> feeds to DOT-approved collection containers. Used oil is labeled with a <br /> hazardous waste label and stored in a hazardous waste generator area and/or <br /> one year permitted hazardous waste storage area in compliance with Title22 <br /> California Code of Regulations. <br /> -Used oil is picked up quarterly by American Valley waste oil (1800-732-4645) . <br /> Mercury-bearing articles <br /> -Mercury gauges, switches, thermostats, and ignitrons are removed from <br /> deenergized major appliances utilizing basic hand tools. The mercury is not <br /> drained from the article housing at any point during waste management process. <br /> Removed articles are containerized, labeled, and managed onsite as hazardous <br /> waste. The waste is sent to Mercury Waste Solutions, located in Union Grove. <br /> Dielectric fluid is not removed from the capacitor housings; the capacitor is <br /> managed "intact" as hazardous waste. <br /> -Technicians assigned to remove capacitors that contain hazardous waste <br /> receive four hours of initial hazardous waste generator training and annual <br /> refresher training. <br /> 01 -C, SSS6*,t,6602 I 10h03N 30I AN3S 1USd3n I wn 69 :8 L002 Few 60 <br />
