T.F.R. Eofflrprisos, Inc. ® DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION chemicals or fluids or removed by professionals certified and licensed to dispose of them. TFR shall submit a Dirty White Goods Operations, Cleaning and Disposal Plan prior to beginning site operations. Upon award of a contract, a Hazmat removal team will be assigned to oversee the curbside removal and HHW removal at the DMS site and, if given a contract for ROE, precede the demolition team. The Hazmat team will remove all HHW and White Goods to the curbside, separated, before haul off, or demolition begins. This team will document on a daily reporting form, the type and quantity of HHW and White goods at the pick-up location. • Refrigerants with putrescible wastes will be sealed by taping closed so as not to have accidental openings and spillage while in transit to disposal site. • The separated HHW and White Goods will be transported by separate container from the demolition site to the DMS. • Any HHW that may inadvertently become mixed with truckloads shall be separated at the DMS site and stored in the HHW area for removal by the HHW crew. • Automobiles will be removed to a separate temporary storage area where they will be held for recycling. • Loose tires located at curbside will be kept separate and removed by the HHW crew. • Extra caution will be applied to the handling of dirty white goods that still contain putrescible wastes, such as sealed freezers, refrigerators, coolers and iceboxes. Putrescible waste is solid waste that contains organic matter capable of being • decomposed by microorganisms and of such a character and proportion as to cause obnoxious odors and to can attract or providing food for birds or animals. Improper handling of putrescible waste could lead to odor issues that make siting and operating a DMS difficult. There are also numerous potential employee health and safety issues related to the removal and disposal of putrescible wastes. These White Goods shall be delivered to a landfill certified to handle Municipal Solid Waste. • White goods may also have refrigerants (Freon and Freon replacements), and often plastics and motors and sometimes other electronic components that need to be removed before recycling. Refrigerant removal must be done by trained and qualified personnel and can potentially lead to spills of regulated chemicals. Only certified, experienced and trained personnel will be used for these critical tasks to minimize risk and maximize efficiency. • All waste removal, cleaning and handling will be managed to minimize potential exposure of workers and others to waste and minimize generation of odors. • Procedures such as proper sealing of refrigerants and containers will be in place to control vector exposure, attraction of wildlife and minimize volume expansion through addition of water to the waste stream. Vehicles and Vessels Abandoned Vehicles and Vessels will be removed and taken to a temporary staging/storage area. It is anticipated that the State Government's Department of Transportation or Department of Motor Vehicles will be the project manager for title of ownership issues related to any vehicle recovery and recycling project associated with the disaster response. 45
