Clean Earth Environmental <br /> HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM <br /> Spill Response and Containment <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 /> 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 /> 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 Flammable Small: Wipe up with absorbent pad. <br /> Solvents <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 /> ads. <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.
