<br /> <br />Spill P,esoonse <br /> <br />PCB SPILL P,ESPONSE AND CLEAN-UP <br />before beginning any spill response activity that requires con- <br />tact with PC6s, don the protective equipment required. (See PCB <br />Health Hazard Control Bulletin) <br />1. Stop the flow of PCBs from the container. Place something <br />uncer the leak or spill to catch it if the PCBs are still <br />flowing or place the container of PCBs itself into another <br />leak-proof container. <br />2. Contain the spill by creating dikes of dirt and/or oil- <br />absorbent material such as Kitty Litter, sawdust, vermicu- <br />lite, or Safe-Step. Flag the spill area so only authorized <br />j~ personnel may enter. <br />`-'~ 3. Start the clean-ua by removing contaminated materials and <br />equipment ana piacing•them in appropriate containers. The <br />PC6s may be absorbed with the above-mentioned absorbent <br />materials. <br />a. Soil - remove all soil to a minimum depth of six inches. <br />If there is still evidence of contamination, continue to <br />remove the soil until there is no further evidence. De- <br />pending on the size of the spill, shovels, a back-hoe, <br />or a dozer can be used. Place soil in thick plastic <br />bans, then in a metal container, or in 55 gallon drums <br />drums or larger steel containers such as garbage dump- <br />ster containers lined with a plastic boa or a sheet of <br />plastic. <br />b. Vegetation - remove all bushes and ground cover that are <br />visibly contaminated. If the soil underneath the vebeta- <br />tion is visibly contaminated, remove it. Place the <br />vegetation in plastic bans, 55 gallon drums or larger <br />~ steel containers. <br />c. Concrete and asphalt - once all free-flowinb insulating <br />fluid is contained and removed with oil-absorbent ma- <br />~, terial, scrub the surface using solvent or kerasen2. Use <br />absorbents to prevent excess solvent from leaving the <br /> spill area. All absorbent material must be placed in <br /> plastic bans or other appr opriate containers. Brooms, <br /> mops, brushes or robs whicn have been contaminated shou'_d <br /> also be treated in the same manner. <br /> Original, 10/20/00 <br /> ATTACHMENT C Revision 01, 3/23/61 <br /> <br /> <br />
