Comment: <br />PHS requests <br />and specific <br />program. <br />11 <br />an appendix to the RDSI delineating all aspects <br />details of the hazardous waste screening <br />Response: <br />Inert waste will be accepted on a case by case basis by <br />appointment only. Cove Contractors will require prospective <br />generators of inert waste loads to provide statements <br />indicating the composition of the load and certifying that <br />the load does not contain hazardous waste. Cove Contractors <br />may also request to examine samples or sample analyses <br />results from the generator prior to authorizing disposal. <br />For these reasons, presence of hazardous waste in the loads <br />is not likely and therefore a hazardous waste storage locker <br />should not be needed. As stated in the RDSI, the site <br />operator will also visually inspect loads for inappropriate <br />waste and direct the generator to remove such waste from the <br />site at the time of delivery, should these instances arise. <br />Any non -hazardous waste which cannot be segregated from any <br />hazardous waste will also be barred from the site. <br />Comment on Section A-14 <br />RDSI makes no mention of fire fighting equipment other than <br />covering the fire with dirt nor does it mention a burning waste <br />safe area. Is the proposed landfill in compliance with the local <br />fire authority? <br />Response to Comment on Section A-14 <br />The primary method for extinguishing fires in the waste will be <br />covering with soil. Due to the configuration of the site and <br />pit, if ASW is smoldering in the fill, it will be covered in the <br />pit. Attempts to move burning waste to other areas of the site <br />may cause more problems than immediately covering waste in the <br />fill if a fire is detected. <br />It should be noted that Cove Contractors has indicated that all <br />waste loads will be received in a moist condition. In addition, <br />the auto shredding process at the source removes volatiles and <br />encapsulates the remaining waste in a silicate stabilizing and <br />cementing agent using the K-20, Trezak process (see B-1.22). <br />This greatly reduces the potential for fires when compared to the <br />past shredder waste operations prior to the Trezak process of <br />waste treatment. <br />The site is also equipped with a fire hydrant which was installed <br />in the past at the request of the Fire Department. This hydrant <br />can be used by the department in addition to cover soil applied <br />7 <br />
