<br /> 8 <br />Clean Earth Environmental <br />HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM <br />Spill Response and Containment <br /> <br />In the event of an unplanned release of a liquid hazardous substance, clean-up operations will commence with <br />the spreading of a non-combustible absorbent material around the perimeter of a liquid spill. This material will be <br />cautiously placed on the spill until absorption is completed. After absorption of the liquid hazardous material has <br />been complete, the hazardous material will be containerized, covered, and transported to the packing area. A <br />release of a solid hazardous waste will be cleaned up by directly sweeping (except Asbestos) the substance into <br />a container. <br /> <br />Clean Earth will use the Spill Response and Containment Matrix shown below, based on the types of materials <br />that may be present, their physical state and hazard class and most effective method of spill response and <br />containment. <br /> <br />Latex Paint None Small: Wipe up with absorbent pad. Rinse with water and <br />wipe up with absorbent pads. <br /> Large: Use absorbent to contain, shovel residue into <br />container. Rinse with water and wipe up with <br />absorbent pads. <br />Solvent Based Paint Flammable Small: Wipe up with absorbent pad. <br /> Large: Use absorbent to contain, shovel residue into <br />container. Final wipe with absorbent pads. <br />Halogenated Solvents Toxic Small: Wipe up with absorbent pad. <br /> Large: Use absorbent to contain, shovel residue into <br />container. Final wipe with absorbent pads. <br />Non-halogenated <br />Solvents <br />Flammable Small: Wipe up with absorbent pad. <br /> Large: Use absorbent to contain, shovel residue into <br />container. Final wipe with absorbent pads. <br />Acids and Bases Corrosive Small: Wipe up with absorbent pad. <br /> Large: Use absorbent to contain, shovel residue into plastic <br />or poly lined container. Final wipe with absorbent <br />pads. <br />Batteries Corrosive all Same as Acids/Bases. <br />Motor Oil None all Same as Solvent Based Paint. <br />Poisons Toxic Small: Wipe up with absorbent pad.
