Accumulation of petroleum in diked areas, spill containment pallets or on an unprotected surface area must be promptly removed.

Equipment and materials will be available for controlling, containing, and removing soiled/ leaked material. Spill control kits will be positioned near storage tanks and containers. The Hazardous Waste Accumulation Building has the equipment and materials required for further or more expansive clean- up. Used absorbent material will be placed in drums provided by HazMat Specialist. Materials available in the typical spill control kit includes: • Sorbent booms (socks): two 4-foot booms • Protective equipment: at minimum two pairs of chemical resistant gloves, one pair goggles and two poly bags for holding waste sorbents • Absorbing pillows and pads Materials and equipment typically stored at the Hazardous Waste Accumulation Building: • Sorbent, Sawdust, Sandbags • Universal pads • Spill control pillows • Street Booms 19
