Hazardous Products: These practices are used to reduce the risks associated with <br /> hazardous materials,but are not limited to using additional experience and trained <br /> techniques. <br /> 1. Products will be kept in original containers unless they are not re-sealable. <br /> 2. Original labels and material safety data will be retained. <br /> 3. Products will be handled by personnel trained in the safe handling and use of PPE <br /> relative the products. <br /> 4. If surplus product must be disposed of,manufacturers' or local and State <br /> recommended methods for proper disposal will be followed. <br /> Product Specific Practices: These are in general context and specific direction should be <br /> determined through the CDOT Specifications and the SDS's as well as experience and <br /> trained techniques. <br /> Petroleum Products: All onsite vehicles will be informally monitored for leaks and <br /> receive regular preventative maintenance to reduce the chance of leakage and encourage <br /> safe operations. Petroleum products for vehicle and equipment operation and <br /> maintenance will be stored in tightly sealed containers which are clearly labeled. Any <br /> asphalt substances used onsite will be applied according to the manufacturer's <br /> recommendations. <br /> Leaks occur generally as a result of faulty, old or improperly maintained equipment or <br /> storage facilities. If unintentional leaks are detected, the operator will identify and abate <br /> the material immediately. For impervious surfaces, an absorbent material will be used to <br /> soak up the liquid wastes and then swept up and placed in a contained unit for proper <br /> disposal. When leaks are detected on soils, the operator will remove contaminated soils <br /> from the earth and place them in a contained unit for proper disposal. <br /> Containers used for contaminated materials will be clearly marked and kept from coming <br /> into direct contact with storm water. Storage or fueling areas where leaks can occur shall <br /> be inspected visually on a regular basis. Efforts taken to abate unintentional leaks and <br /> repair faulty equipment should be recorded in the activity log. Unintentional leaks must <br /> not be confused with spills and should be identified accordingly. <br /> Fertilizers: Fertilizers will be applied only in the minimum amounts recommended by <br /> the manufacturer. Once applied, fertilizer will be worked into the soil to limit exposure <br /> to storm water. Storage will be in a covered and contained area. The contents of any <br /> partially used bags of fertilizer will be transferred to a sealable plastic bin to avoid spills. <br /> Soil amendments will be spread and tilled into the soil immediately upon arrival to the <br /> site in order to minimize direct contact with storm water runoff. <br /> Spill Control Practices: In addition to the good housekeeping and material management <br /> practices discussed previously in this plan,the following practices will be followed for <br /> spill prevention and cleanup: <br /> Safety Data Sheets (SDS)recommended methods for spill cleanup should be kept in the <br /> job trailer and site personnel will be made aware of the procedures and the location of the <br /> information and cleanup supplies. <br />
