2) Certification as an environmental trainer; and
The Trainer(s) shall be responsible for instruction on hazardous waste management procedures.
ACCESS CONTROL AND SECURITY
The HHW Collection Facility is located on the property of the Walnut Grove Waste and Recycling Center.
The Center is surrounded by a seven foot high chain link fence. Access shall be controlled at all times to
minimize unnecessary public exposure to potentially harmful substances and to provide facility security.
The HHW storage building is secured against unauthorized access by locked doors. Its location at the
Center provides an extra measure of safety due to the presence of personnel at nearby areas during
normal operating hours. The HHW Collection Facility is staffed during program operational hours and
when customers are present. After these hours the entire site is fenced and secured by locked entrance
gates. The storage building is marked with an NFPA Placard. Areas where chemicals are handled or
stored are clearly marked using one or more of the following: warning tape, barriers, and caution signs.
The signs will contain appropriate warnings such as "Hazardous Waste Storage," "No Smoking," and
"Authorized Personnel Only."
During all times the facility is open to receive waste, it is staffed by Contractor personnel or Orange
County personnel. While the facility is open, Orange County employees are stationed throughout the site
to serve as checkpoint personnel to direct the flow of traffic and people, and to provide additional
security to the facility and facility personnel. In addition to the personnel working at the facility itself,
during all of the facility's operational hours and during all hours that the Center operates, Orange County
personnel monitor access to the center, are working throughout the site, and are available to provide
assistance at the HHW Collection Facility as needed.
A sign with the facility's days and hours of operation is clearly posted at the facility entrance.
C.B. DESCRIPTION OF WASTES ACCEPTED AND STORED AT THE HHW FACILITY
1. Acceptable Wastes

County as well as Wake, Chatham and Durham Counties.
The HHW Collection Facility shall not accept or store Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) wastes as defined
in 40 CFR 761, with the exception of Fluorescent light ballasts and PCB household waste as defined in
40 CFR 761.63.

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 5 Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019February 2020
Operations Manual
The HHW collection program will handle HHW from the following general categories:
1) yard and garden products;
2) automotive products;
3) paint and solvents;
4) household cleaning products; and
5) miscellaneous HHW.
More specifically, the program anticipates handling the following types of wastes:
1) non-friable asbestos and asbestos-bearing products;
2) oxidizers;
3) acids and bases, and alkaline cleaning products;
4) reactive products;
5) lead contaminated materials;
6) paints (alkyd and latex);
7) aerosols;
8) batteries (lead-acid and dry-cell);
9) antifreeze / ethylene glycol bearing products;
10) mixed solvents;
11) cylinders (propane, refrigerant, helium);
12) mercury, mercury debris, and Lights Containing Mercury (LCMs);
13) light ballasts;
14) motor oil, oil filters, and other automotive fluids; and
15) poisonous products.
Because of difficulties in handling a few specific types of wastes (including explosives, radioactive
materials, biologically active or infectious waste, medications, and friable asbestos), the education effort
will continue to actively discourage users from bringing these materials. However, in the event that an
uninformed or misinformed citizen brings such wastes to the facility, program representatives will
consider taking the wastes anyway to avoid improper disposal. The decision regarding the acceptance of
these wastes will be based upon established policies as well as the specific details of each case, as well
as advice from Contractor personnel. As necessary, the Contractor may help find specialized vendors
and or agencies to remove any such wastes for treatment or disposal.
Whenever wastes are rejected, the user will be given a Waste Rejection Notice showing the reasons for
non-acceptance and providing names of people to contact for further information concerning options for
proper disposal. For more information on procedures associated with the management of Unacceptable
Wastes, see Section F, Waste Screening, Collection, and Waste Management Procedures. To see the
Waste Rejection Notice, see Attachment D on Page 24.
2. Waste storage, containers, and containment systems
IV. Accumulation Time
The HHW Collection Facility storage building was designed to accommodate temporary
accumulation of several classes of hazardous materials. Contractor personnel (and Orange
County personnel as applicable) are trained as appropriate concerning proper waste segregation
and safe storage procedures.

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 6 Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019February 2020
Operations Manual
All household hazardous waste not intended for reuse by the Paint Exchange and/or Local Reuse
Program shall be stored in containers, as described below.
In accordance with State requirements for temporary storage, when necessary, the date upon
which each period of accumulation begins is clearly marked and visible on each container.
Furthermore, while being stored onsite, all containers with accumulating hazardous wastes are
labeled or marked clearly with the words "Household Hazardous Waste" unless the material is
recyclable (e.g., used oil, latex paints, batteries) and is separated from other hazardous waste, or
the material is deemed Universal Waste as defined by 40 CFR Part 273.
Time in storage varies according to the volume of waste received, though no waste shall be stored
for longer than one year from the date of acceptance. Removal of wastes by the Contractor is
scheduled as necessary to minimize expense to Orange County, to avoid an over-accumulation of
waste, and to ensure safety and efficiency of operation, while at all times complying with
applicable regulations and safety considerations.
V. Storage Building Specifications
ATTACHMENT B, on Page 20 contains a building schematic showing the building floor plan and
elevation.
According to state guidance concerning storage of ignitable and reactive wastes, the structure is
located at least 50 feet from the facility's property line. Furthermore, the storage building is
separated from the main operational areas of the Convenience Center in order to minimize
damage in case of fire.
The location of the HHW collection facility relative to other operational areas is shown on the
enclosed Site Plan; see Attachment J on Page 45.
As required for proper safety and environmental protection, the HHW Collection Facility structure
is:
1) designed to contain leaks and spills;
2) covered to exclude rain water;
3) secured to control access; and
4) constructed in accordance with all applicable National Fire Protection Association codes.
In meeting these requirements, the HHW Collection Facility building will be weatherproof; and
has a dry fire suppression system. Each compartment within the structure has a floor system
that has grating that is opened to a leak proof spill design. The electrical system is designed
and installed to be intrinsically safe.
.
VI. Storage Containers and Containment Management
Appropriate containers fitting DOT specifications are used for storing wastes at the HHW
Collection Facility. Contractor personnel (or appropriately trained Orange County personnel)
preparing wastes for storage will use only containers that are made or lined with materials that

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 7 Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019February 2020
Operations Manual
will not react, and are otherwise compatible with the wastes to be stored in them, so that
containment ability is not impaired.
Hazardous Waste will not be placed in unwashed containers that previously held an incompatible
waste or material, or in a container that holds an incompatible material.
All containers holding accumulated HHW will be labeled throughout their entire storage period
with information identifying the contents and the start accumulation date. All containers stored
at the facility will be checked at least weekly to ensure that they have not been stored for longer
than one year from the start accumulation date, and also to ensure their integrity. These
inspections, to be conducted by Contractor personnel (or appropriately trained Orange County
personnel), are also used to detect any leaks or deterioration caused by corrosion or other
factors. Results of these inspections are recorded. If a container holding hazardous waste is
found to be in poor condition or if it begins to leak, Contractor personnel (or appropriately trained
Orange County personnel) will transfer the wastes from the defective container to one that is in
good condition, or over pack the container in a suitable storage drum.
Contractor personnel (or appropriately trained Orange County personnel) will also ensure that
any containers holding hazardous waste are kept closed during storage, except when it is
necessary to add or remove waste. Caution will be taken in the movement of all containers to
prevent them from being tipped over or punctured. Furthermore, the containers will not be
opened, handled, or stored in a manner that may rupture them or cause them to leak. On site
spill kits are available and accessible to attendants at all times. The attendant will use
decontamination procedures if necessary. This may involve calling for assistance as outlined in
Attachment G page 30. See picture of spill kits on page 46.
VII. Secondary Containment System
Each storage area at the collection facility has a containment system that was designed and
constructed to have a continuous base that is free of cracks or gaps and is impervious to the
materials stored. This containment system is designed to contain any household hazardous
waste discharges, leaks, or spills and any accumulated precipitation until the collected material
is detected and can be removed. The amount of waste stored at the collection facility will be
managed to ensure that the largest single container of waste does not exceed the storage
capacity of the secondary containment within which that container is stored.
Containment is possible for up to three days should an incident occur over the weekend or a
holiday.
D.C. COMMUNICATIONS, PREPAREDNESS, PREVENTION, AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
1. Communications
Facility personnel have immediate access to both a cellular telephone and a land-line telephone.
Internal communications at the facility will be carried out by voice as the most practical method
given the restricted size of the facility. A complete emergency contact listing is shown on
Attachment G page 30.

facility safety by the Disposal Manager.
5. CONTINGENCY PLAN
A separate HHW Collection Facility Contingency Plan has been developed for this facility to
prevent or minimize public health or environmental damage in the event of fire, explosion, or any
discharge of waste or waste constituents to air, land, ground water or surface water. A copy of the
Plan is included in ATTACHMENT G, on Page 29.
E.D. WASTE SCREENING, COLLECTION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES
1. Participant Screening and Receipt of Waste
I. Participant Screening and Surveying:
Participant screening will be performed by Contractor personnel or by Orange County personnel.
Potential participants may be screened to determine user eligibility, as defined above. The
participant may be asked to produce proof of residency in Orange, Durham, Chatham or Wake
Counties.
As participants are screened, the participant may be asked to respond to a brief survey. When
and if surveys are taken, specific questions may vary, though the primary objective of the surveys
will be to gather information such as the types, quantities, and sources of each user's wastes, or
to solicit user comments on program features such as convenience, program publicity, and
awareness of citizen's hazardous materials in their homes. Finally, during participant screening,
the screener may offer to provide educational materials and program information to program
participants. Educational materials offered to program users may include information on using
less hazardous alternative products and other HHW topics.
II. Receipt of Waste:
Once eligibility has been established as described above, the program participants will be
directed to proceed to the waste removal area.

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 11 Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019February 2020
Operations Manual
2. Waste Identification and Acceptance
I. Waste Identification:
As wastes are received, Orange County personnel (or Contractor personnel) will inspect the waste
as it is removed from the vehicle. Waste will be inspected to ensure that the waste is
acceptable.
If a waste is delivered in an unmarked container, the participant is asked to describe to the best
of their ability the nature of the enclosed material(s).
After the waste is accepted and identified, the Orange County personnel (or Contractor
personnel) perform initial segregation.
Orange County personnel (or Contractor personnel) will maintain safe operations by immediately
dealing with any leaking, damaged, unlabeled, or potentially shock sensitive or explosive
materials as these materials are received and accepted.
II. Unknown Waste:
As waste is received, facility personnel will query participants when and if any waste appears to
be an unknown. When waste is delivered in an unmarked container, the participant is asked to
describe the contents to the best of their ability. When the participant delivering the HHW
material cannot assist with the identification of the material, it will be classified as unknown.
The following characteristics will be evaluated to assist in identifying the unknown materiel:
1) material labeling,
2) type of container,
3) condition of container,
4) physical characteristics of waste, and
5) certain chemical characteristics of the waste such as ph.
If necessary, additional analyses will be conducted at an offsite laboratory. Such offsite analyses
will occur as soon as possible. Contractor personnel will prepare the samples using the
appropriate chain of custody and will send the samples to a laboratory for analysis.
The unknown waste material will be left onsite, isolated in a container by itself, while the sample
is tested. Once the analytical results are obtained, the material will be scheduled for pick up
from the HHW Collection Facility, and will be appropriately managed.
III. Abandoned Wastes:
When wastes are abandoned either at the HHW facility or on other County property, this waste
will be directed into the HHW program and treated as household hazardous waste. An education
and outreach program is in place to discourage illegal dumping and the abandonment of
hazardous wastes.
IV. Unacceptable Wastes:
The HHW Collection Facility shall not accept or store Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) wastes as
defined in 40 CFR 761, with the exception of Fluorescent light ballasts and PCB household waste
as defined in 40 CFR 76l.63.

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 12 Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019February 2020
Operations Manual
Wastes that may be considered unacceptable at the HHW Collection Facility include PCB wastes
(as defined above), radioactive waste, infectious waste, explosive materials, medications, and
friable asbestos.
Whenever wastes are rejected, the participant presenting the rejected waste will be given a
Waste Rejection Notice (See ATTACHMENT D, Page 24) showing the reasons for non-acceptance,
and will be provided a list of resources to contact for further information concerning options for
and assistance with proper disposal.
Program education and outreach efforts will actively discourage users from bringing
unacceptable materials. However, in the event that an uninformed or misinformed citizen brings
such wastes to the facility, program representatives will consider taking the wastes anyway to
avoid improper disposal. The decision regarding the acceptance of these wastes will be based
upon established policies, the specific details of each case, and advice from Contractor
personnel. As necessary, County personnel and Contractor personnel will help find specialized
vendors and/or agencies to remove any such wastes for treatment or disposal.
3. MANAGEMENT OF WASTE
The HHW Collection Facility will be designed, constructed, and maintained in such a way as to
minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion, or discharge of household hazardous waste or their
constituents to the air, land, or surface water. The facility allows for all hazardous waste to be
managed within secondary containment. Further, all reasonable steps shall be taken to prevent
adverse effects on human health and the environment.
I. Waste Segregation and Packaging of Wastes:
Contractor personnel (or appropriately trained County personnel) will conduct and supervise the
packaging and documentation of accepted waste. Appropriate containers fitting DOT
specifications will be used for storing wastes at the HHW Collection Facility.
All containers will be inspected upon receipt for visible evidence of leaks or damage. Following
verification that the containers have retained their integrity, personnel identify the waste as
described in the attached Waste Analysis and Compatibility Plan. Once waste is identified,
facility personnel ensure that the waste and container are compatible based on known
compatibilities. If waste and container are not compatible, the waste will be transferred to a
compatible container.
Waste will be segregated into hazard classes based on chemical characteristics and Department
of Transportation (DOT) regulations. Waste will be transferred to compatible DOT approved
shipping containers, and labeled according to applicable standards. Most waste received by the
program will be consolidated or loose packed. If the accepted wastes require lab packing, lab
packing of wastes may occur on the same day as the waste is collected provided that time and
appropriate personnel are available. If lab packing cannot take place on the day of acceptance,
the waste material will be appropriately stored until such time as the lab packing can occur.
Partially filled or packed containers may remain onsite until adequate amounts are collected and
properly packaged for transport. All wastes received at the HHW Collection Facility will be safely
stored until the next scheduled collection day.

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 13 Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019February 2020
Operations Manual
Some waste materials received at the HHW Collection Facility such as latex paint, used motor oil,
some cylinders, lead-acid and dry-cell batteries may be segregated from the hazardous wastes at
the time of acceptance at the facility and diverted to reuse programs or County programs
designed to handle these materials.
II. Bulking, Blending and Lab Packing of Wastes:
Hazardous waste will not be treated or disposed of at the HHW Collection Facility. In order to
maximize the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the operation of the HHW Collection Facility,
pumping, pouring, blending, consolidation or bulking of wastes may be performed.
Any time that waste will be bulked or blended or otherwise handled, all employees involved in the
operation shall have sufficient knowledge in the chemical sciences and hazardous waste
management disciplines to recognize and prevent the mixing of incompatible wastes, as well as
to recognize wastes that are better managed if not mixed. All waste bulking and blending shall
be performed under the guidelines established in this Operational Plan and by the attached
Waste Analysis and Compatibility Plan. Further, all employees (Contractor or County) involved in
the operation shall have immediate access to an alarm or emergency communication device,
and if there is only one employee on the premises, that person shall have immediate access to a
device capable of summoning external emergency assistance.
If bulking or blending of wastes is required, grounding and explosion-proof equipment will be
used as needed. Waste will only be bulked or blended at the facility after a sufficient waste
analysis has been performed to appropriately identify the waste to be bulked or blended. The
compatibility of wastes to be bulked or blended, as well as the compatibility of the wastes and
their container will be determined based on the attached Waste Analysis and Compatibility Plan.
For both lab pack and bulk packaging, all containers will be of the Department of Transportation
(DOT) specification, type, and size most appropriate for the specific waste type and planned
treatment or disposal method. Wastes will be packed in either fiber, plastic, or steel containers
of open or closed-head types, in sizes ranging from 5-gallon pails to 85-gallon over-packs to
cubic yard boxes.
For any necessary lab packing, wastes will be first segregated according to DOT hazard class,
then by chemical compatibility and by the acceptance criteria of specific waste recycling,
treatment, or disposal facilities. An inert absorbent material such as vermiculite will be used to
surround inner containers, prevent breakage, absorb any leaking materials, and prevent release
from the outer (shipping) container.
Whether loose pack, lab pack, or bulk / consolidation container, the filled containers will be
closed, labeled, and marked in accordance with DOT and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
shipping requirements, and the proper information will be recorded on the manifest. The
generator's notification and certification will be prepared, as required under applicable
regulations.
III. Special Requirements for Ignitable, Reactive Waste, and Incompatible Wastes:
Contractor personnel (or appropriately trained Orange County personnel) will use special
precautions to protect ignitable or reactive wastes from sources of ignition or reaction. These

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 14 Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019February 2020
Operations Manual
wastes will be separated from other wastes being stored in the collection facility. Any ignitable or
reactive wastes are protected from possible sources of ignition or reaction, including but not
limited to open flames, hot surfaces, frictional or radiant heat, and spontaneous ignition (e.g.,
from heat producing chemical reactions).
Any tools used for equipment maintenance in areas containing ignitable wastes will be of a non-
sparking type. Maintenance activities such as welding or cutting, which potentially could
generate sparks or open flame, are allowed only by special permission of the Operations
Manager or designee. This permission is granted only after the area has been inspected and
tested for flammable vapors, and all ignitable or reactive materials have been removed or
protected.
Policy will prohibit smoking or open flame within or near the storage building. "No Smoking" signs
will be located at the entrance to unloading and storage areas and will be conspicuously placed
wherever there is a direct hazard from ignitable or reactive wastes. Areas in which ignitable
materials will be stored require the use of explosion-proof equipment and lighting. Proper
grounding will be maintained in order to dissipate any accumulation of static charges generated
by the movement of hazardous liquids in pouring or bulking operations.
Regarding incompatible wastes, the following special provisions apply:
1) Incompatible wastes will not be placed in the same container;
2) Hazardous wastes will only be placed in new, unused containers or in containers cleaned and
reconditioned by a licensed manufacturer (and labeled as such);
3) A storage container holding a hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or other
materials stored in close proximity will be separated from them by containment structures
such as built-up curbs or has secondary containment such as drip pans constructed of steel
or polyethylene.
As a general rule, the handling and storage of all hazardous wastes (especially any that are
ignitable, reactive; or incompatible) will be conducted so that it does not:
1) Generate extreme heat or pressure, fire or explosion, or violent reaction;
2) Produce uncontrolled toxic mists, fumes, dusts, or gases in sufficient quantities to threaten
human health or the environment;
3) Produce uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities to pose a risk of fire
or explosions;
4) Damage the structural integrity of the device or facility containing the wastes; or,
5) Threaten public health or the environment.
The procedures to comply with these provisions depend upon:
1) Proper identification of waste materials as they are received;
2) Segregated storage according to compatible hazard class; and
3) No commingling, bulking, or combining of incompatible hazard classes.

Operations Manual
4. LOCAL REUSE AND WASTE DIVERSION PROGRAMS
In an effort to reduce waste disposal costs associated with the Household Hazardous Waste
Program and to facilitate the reuse of collected materials before recycling or other disposition,
Orange County operates several programs parallel with the HHW program.
I. Reuse Program:
Waste including paint will be deemed reusable after it has been determined to the best of the
ability of facility personnel to be in its original container with the original label fully legible.
Further, the container must be at least half full, free of corrosion or other damage, and be
reasonably considered a household product. Materials targeted for reuse by this program may
include cleaning products, furniture-related products, automobile-related products, stains,
sealers, water-proofers, waxes, solvents such as mineral spirits and turpentine, adhesives,
garden related products, and other products intended for use by homeowners in a household
setting.
II. Release of Liability:
Citizens seeking to receive items from the Reuse Program are advised that the products
available from these programs have been delivered to the program by others, and that the
program cannot be fully aware of the contents of such products. The sign will further inform
citizens that the HHW program cannot certify or guarantee in any way that the products available
from the Reuse Program are as marked, or that the products have not, in fact, been mislabeled,
contaminated, polluted, or are not of a different quality, quantity, or substance than indicated.
Citizens receiving waste from the Reuse Program must complete and sign a waiver to this effect.
A copy of the "Release of Liability When Taking Reusable from Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Center" is attached in Attachment F on Page 28.
III. Diversion to Other Local Programs:
When determined to be economically desirable, and where alternative management of certain
accepted wastes exists, wastes received by the HHW collection program at the HHW Collection
Facility may be diverted from the HHW waste stream to other locally operated Orange County
recycling programs. Used motor oil, oil filters, antifreeze, food-based fats and greases, batteries
(both Lead-Acid and Dry-Cell), propane cylinders, electronics, Lights Containing Mercury (LCMs),
and other items classified as Universal Wastes may be funneled into County operated programs
designed to accept and manage these materials.
F.E. TRANSPORTATION OF WASTE TO TREATMENT, STORAGE, DISPOSAL OF RECYCLING FACILITIES
Contractor personnel will provide transportation of the hazardous wastes collected at the facility.
Hazardous waste shall only be removed from the HHW Collection Facility by a hazardous waste
transporter with an EPA identification number and all applicable DOT hazardous material licenses.
When the transportation and disposal Contractor arrives at the HHW Collection Facility to collect
and transport waste, facility personnel will ensure that all containers are properly packaged,
labeled, documented, and manifested. The waste containers will be loaded onto a Contractor
vehicle and transported to a permitted or approved hazardous waste treatment, storage, disposal
or recycling facility for final treatment, recycling, or disposal. The NC HHW Facility identification
Number NCPH0681302 shall be used to ship all collected waste to an off-site TSDF.

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 16 Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019February 2020
Operations Manual
G.F. TREATMENT, FINAL DISPOSAL, AND RECYCLING OF ACCEPTED WASTES
For all waste other than that waste directed to Local Reuse and Waste Diversion Programs (as
described above), the hazardous waste Contractor will arrange the recycling, treatment, or
disposal of wastes accepted by the HHW Collection Facility. All waste managed by the Contractor
will be directed to licensed, permitted, or otherwise approved hazardous waste treatment,
storage, disposal or recycling facilities for final treatment, recycling or disposal.
Hazardous waste collected at the facility will be recycled whenever economically practical, and
incineration or landfilling will be used as a last resort. In general, the hierarchy of waste
management for waste received at the facility is described below:
1. Reuse or Other Diversion: Material amenable for reuse or diversion to Local Waste Management
Programs shall be transferred to Local Reuse and Waste Diversion Programs.
2. Recycling: Materials amenable for fuel blending shall be separated for BTU recovery. Batteries, latex
paint, mercury, mercury debris, LCMs, propane, propane tanks, empty cylinders, oil filters, and most
empty metal containers shall be recycled either locally or by the hazardous waste Contractor through
approved facility.
3. Incineration: Loose-packed and Lab-packed materials that are not recyclable shall be shipped to fully
permitted facilities for treatment by incineration, or other acceptable technologies.
4. Landfilling: Landfilling will be used as a last resort. Only appropriately licensed and permitted landfills
will be used. Materials to be landfilled include, but are not limited to: asbestos and asbestos
contaminated debris, certain non-hazardous materials (i.e., dried latex paint or other water-based
products), acceptable PCB Wastes, lead-contaminated wastes, alkaline batteries that are not recycled by
the local dry-cell battery program, and other materials that cannot be managed through incineration.
H.G. RECORD-KEEPING AND DOCUMENTATION
Orange County shall keep and maintain all necessary records. Currently the Contractor provides
access to all records through an online portal system.
1. Record-keeping and Documentation
Records maintained by the County shall include:
I. Documentation of Wastes Managed at Facility:
Thorough and accurate records will be maintained of all waste collected and managed at the
facility. These records shall include a description of the waste managed, its common name, a
hazardous waste number to ensure the accurate tracking of hazardous materials from the
generator to final disposal sites, and records indicating the final disposition of all hazardous
waste accepted at the facility. Specifically, a copy of an approved application, current/valid
permit to operate and the HHW facility drawings should be included in the document held by the
County.
II. Incident Reports:
Summary reports and details of all incidents that require the implementation of the Contingency
Plan shall be maintained.

topics covered shall be maintained at all times while the employee works for the Department of
Solid Waste Management, and for a period of at least three years from the date the employee
last worked at the facility. Records associated with Contractor employees shall be maintained by
the Contractor.
2. AVAILABILITY OF FACILITY RECORDS
All facility documentation and records shall be furnished upon request and made available at all
reasonable times for inspection by the NC DEQ Division of Waste Management.
3. RETENTION PERIOD FOR RECORDS
Orange County understands that the retention period for all required records may be extended upon
written notice from the Division of Waste Management. In order to ensure that the facility complies with
required retention periods, Orange County shall maintain all waste manifests, shipping papers, waste
tracking reports, and certificates of disposal /destruction, and other records associated with waste
managed at the facility for at least the entire operational life of the facility.
4. ANNUAL REPORTING
An annual report on household hazardous wastes collected, disposed of, and recycled by the HHW
Collection Facility shall be filed with the Division of Waste Management each year.
5. RECORDS AND LABELING FOR WASTE TO BE TRANSPORTED
Before transporting household hazardous waste, the waste shall be packaged, labeled, marked; and
prepared for shipment and transportation per DOT 49 CFR Part 172-180.
6. CONTAINER LABELING PROCEDURES
Before storing any waste in the HHW Collection Facility, facility personnel shall properly label each
container of waste if the waste is not in its original container. Each container shall be marked with the
required DOT labels, the generator name, the accumulation start date, a profile and or tracking number;
and a written description of the contents.

Attachment E - Waste Analysis and Compatibility Plan
WASTE ANALYSIS AND COMPATIBILITY PLAN
Walnut Grove Church Road Waste & Recycling Center Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility
The Waste Analysis and Compatibility Plan for the HHW Collection Facility consist of the following
elements:
1. Generator supplied information based on personal knowledge;
2. Visual inspection;
3. Fingerprinting of waste that does not conform to the generator's description;
4. Compatibility Testing;
5. Detailed analyses by a professional laboratory.
Generator Supplied Information
At the time of unloading all materials will be screened for identification and acceptability. Unacceptable
materials will not be removed from vehicles. Generators delivering unacceptable wastes will be
presented with a Waste Rejection Notice.
Generators will be questioned about the type of waste they are delivering. If facility personnel have
concerns about the waste delivered, personnel will ask specific and detailed questions of the generator.
Initial classification of wastes will be performed with the data obtained.
If the identity or compatibility of a waste is in question, the waste shall undergo procedures as
enumerated below. Once a waste is identified, facility personnel ensure that the waste was delivered in
a container type appropriate for the waste based on known compatibilities, and that all waste is
transferred to compatible DOT approved shipping containers, and labeled according to applicable
standards.
Visual Inspections
All wastes received are visually inspected upon receipt for evidence of leaks or damage, to verify the
integrity of the container, and to ensure containers containing wastes are labeled according to the
description provided by the generator. Observations taken during visual inspections will include material
labeling, type of containers, condition of containers, and physical characteristics. Physical characteristics
include color, appearance, texture and viscosity.
Fingerprinting
If a material appears to differ from the description provided by the generator, the container is set aside
from other materials. The waste is then sampled and analyzed for pH, compatibility and water solubility,
as necessary. The pH will be tested using pH paper or pH strips. The compatibility test will only be
performed if deemed necessary and if the waste is to be consolidated at the HHW collection site.
Compatibility Testing
The objectives of Compatibility Testing are to prevent the mixing of incompatible wastes, and to identify
wastes that are better managed if unmixed. Compatibility tests shall be performed in any case where
there is a reason to suspect that the materials being consolidated may not be compatible.

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 27
Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019 Operations Manual
Compatibility Test Steps:
1. Representative samples are taken from the waste in question and the waste to be consolidated
into.
2. Small amounts (1 - 2 ml) of the waste in question are slowly added to the consolidated waste.
3. Careful observations are made to detect any of the following:
• Evolution of gases,
• Generation of heat,
• Precipitation of solids,
• Sudden layering,
• Polymerization,
• Drastic change in pH,
• Coagulation,
• Vigorous churning, and
• Other effects that might indicate that the sequentially added materials have incompatible
constituents.
4. Increasingly larger portions of the waste are added to the consolidated waste until all of the
waste has been added.
5. The resultant mixture is then poured into the consolidation container.
6. Due to the nature of the aerosol can recycle system; compatibility studies for individual aerosol
cans are difficult. The operator of the system will examine the label for identification and
chemical constituents. Examination of the manufacturers' labels and knowledge of chemical
compatibility provides sufficient safeguard against mixing incompatible wastes. Aerosol cans are
virtually tamper-proof and therefore the mixing of unknown chemicals is eliminated. In the case
of unlabeled aerosol containers or aerosol containers where the label is illegible, the waste shall
be subject to disposal guidelines based on safety.
Detailed Analyses
In rare circumstances, detailed laboratory analyses may be required to confidently determine the
appropriate treatment technology for safe disposal. Samples of the waste will be sent to the hazardous
waste Contractor's laboratory or a third-party analytical laboratory if such testing is required.

ATTACHMENT G
Contingency Plan for Emergencies for Orange County
Walnut Grove Convenience Center
Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility

Contingency Plan Purpose and Implementation
This plan is designed to minimize hazards to human health and the environment from fires, explosions,
or any unplanned, sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous constituents to air, soil, or surface water.
The provisions of this plan will be carried out immediately whenever there is an emergency at the facility.
Contingency Plan Contents
This plan contains emergency procedures for four types of incidents: spills, fires, explosions and non-project related disaster (as defined below).
• A spill is an unintentional release of materials in a quantity that is sufficient to cause environmental
or personal harm. • A fire is the ignition or conflagration of either waste materials or paper and wood trash. • An explosion is a sudden detonation of waste materials.
• Non-project-related disasters include unlikely events such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, or bomb threats.

Facility Staffing and Emergency Responsibilities
Personnel from Orange County will operate the Orange County Walnut Grove Center Permanent HHW
Collection Facility largely as a standalone operation with supervision by the Contractor. In the event of an
emergency, all appropriately trained personnel who are available will participate in the response as
directed by the designated emergency coordinator. (See page 30, Attachment G)
During normal operating hours, if the Contractor site supervisor is on site, the Contractor employee will act as
the emergency coordinator. After hours, when the Contractor personnel is not on site, the emergency coordinator
will be County staff.
Arrangements with Local Authorities
Local government representatives from the responsible agency will make arrangements to familiarize
local authorities will all pertinent aspects of the facility and its operations. In Orange County, primary

Contingency Plan Revisions
This contingency plan will be kept at the facility and will also be distributed to local authorities (as
described above). The contingency plan will immediately be revised whenever any of the following
occurs:
1. The plan fails in an emergency.
2. There are significant changes in facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance.
3. The list of emergency contacts is changed. 4. The list of emergency equipment is changed.

Emergency Response Materials and Equipment
A variety of emergency response materials and equipment will be kept at the facility. These materials could include some or all of the following, as deemed necessary by the Contractor’s Site Supervisor for
this facility:
• spill control equipment (described in a subsequent section);
• decontamination solutions;
• fire extinguishers;
• dry chemical fire suppression system;
• personal protective equipment;
• breathing apparatus;
• emergency eyewash station; and
• first aid kit.

Designation of Emergency Coordinator
At all times, there will be at least one Contractor representative or local government representative
either on the facility premises or on call with the responsibility for coordinating all emergency response
measures. This coordinator will be familiar with all aspects of the facility’s contingency plan, all
operations and activities at the facility, location and characteristics of wastes to be handled, location of all facility records, and facility layout. In addition, this person has the authority to commit the resources
needed to implement the contingency plan. The emergency coordinator will coordinate all emergency
responses with the contractor’s Project Supervisor or designee and will supervise the implementation of
emergency procedures described in the following sections of this plan.

Response Procedures for Hurricane or Related Storm Event
In the event of a major storm that is forecasted in advance, (i.e. hurricanes etc.) arrangements to move all Household Hazardous waste to the authorized TSDF will be made by calling and arranging
transportation with the vendor (see pages 39-40) in advance as reasonably possible with vetted notice
from NOAA or local news stations that impending whether is going to hit the HHW and surrounding areas.

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 32
Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019 Operations Manual
Spill Response Equipment and Procedures
Normal spill prevention techniques will be used at the facility, and standard spill control equipment will
be available. This equipment could include some or all of the following:
• bulk absorbents; • over pack drums; • absorbent boom or pillows; • polyethylene liners; • containers for contaminated absorbent; • non-sparking tools; and • decontamination products.
In the event that a release occurs, the following procedures will be used:
1. The individual who notices the spill will alert other personnel by voice; 2. All personnel will stop work and secure their areas of responsibility;
3. The emergency coordinator will direct all participants to a safe area if necessary;
4. The emergency coordinator will identify the character, exact source, amount and real extent of any
released materials. The coordinator will assess the possible hazards to human health and the
environment, considering both direct and indirect. The emergency coordinator will also determine
the proper protective equipment needed and will monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation,
or ruptures in equipment as appropriate. 5. If the release is serious enough to affect human health or the environment outside of the facility, the emergency coordinator will immediately contact local authorities and will also notify the National
Response Center or the government official designated as the on-scene coordinator for the area.
6. Personnel will be assigned to control the spill and prevent its spread or other complications. If
necessary, personnel can be assigned to isolate storm drains and sewers. Personnel will don their protective equipment and take appropriate steps for cleaning up the spill. Any incompatible
materials located near the spill will be removed. A fire watch will be established and the local fire
department will be notified. Reasonable measures will be taken to ensure that the problem does not
recur or spread to other wastes. 7. If the emergency coordinator determines that outside assistance is needed, then appropriate calls
will be made using the emergency phone list.
8. Once the spill is contained and cleaned up, any response equipment used will be decontaminated, inspected, and put back in service when returned to an acceptable condition;
9. Immediately after an emergency, the emergency coordinator will provide for treating, storing, or
disposing of recovered waste, contaminated soil or surface water, or any other material that results
from a release, fire, or explosion at the facility. 10. The affected areas of the facility will not be placed in operation again until the responsible agency listed at the beginning of this plan has notified the appropriate authorities that the facility is once
again functional; and
11. The responsible agency will make a report of the incident in the operating record and will also notify
the NC DEQ’s Division of Solid Waste Management within 24 hours. A written report will be filed with the Division within 15 days, and it should include all the information in item 5 above, plus the
estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material from the incident.
This report will include: name and telephone number of the reporter, name, address, and telephone number of the responsible agency; name, address, and telephone number of the facility; date and time
of the incident; type of incident; name and quantities of materials involved; extent of injuries; and
possible hazards to human health and the environment.

Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019 Operations Manual
Fire/Explosion Response Procedures
Emergency procedures to be used in the event of a fire or explosion are as follows:
1. The individual who notices the fire or explosion will alert other personnel by voice; 2. All personnel will stop work and secure their areas of responsibility;
3. The emergency coordinator will alert the local fire department and will move public participants to a
secure location;
4. Personnel will be assigned to contain and halt the fire unless an explosion is possible (in which case the emergency coordinator will call for evacuation). If the fire is chemical in nature or spreads to the
chemical waste, personnel will don positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Personnel
will fight the fire using fire extinguishers and/or soil and absorbents. Water will generally not be
used if the fire is due to the ignition of a flammable liquid; 5. If the fire goes beyond the incipient stage and cannot be controlled with extinguishers, the
emergency coordinator will notify appropriate authorities and prepare to evacuate the work area.
Personnel will assist local responders when necessary. Such assistance may include: helping to evacuate local residents; blocking off storm drains and berm water sources; removing all
unnecessary personnel and vehicles from the area; and removing waste material if possible;
6. If the fire or explosion is serious enough to affect human health or the environment outside of the
facility, the emergency coordinator will immediately contact local authorities and will also notify the
government official designated as the on-scene coordinator for the area. 7. Once the fire has been extinguished, cleanup of the area will commence. During cleanup activities,
the emergency coordinator will monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in
equipment as appropriate. If the fire was chemical in origin or spread to the waste area, all
potentially contaminated cleanup materials will be disposed of as waste; and 8. Further response to a fire will proceed according to steps 8 through 11 described under the
preceding spill response section of this contingency plan.
This report will include: name and telephone number of the reporter, name, address, and telephone number of the responsible agency; name, address, and telephone number of the facility; date and time
of the incident; type of incident; name and quantities of materials involved; extent of injuries; and
possible hazards to human health and the environment;
Procedures for Non-Project Related Disasters
In the unlikely event of disasters such as floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, and bomb threats, the following procedures will be used:
1. The individual who notices the situation will alert other personnel by voice;
2. All personnel will stop work and secure their areas of responsibility; 3. The emergency coordinator will alert the appropriate authorities and move personnel to a secure
location. The affected area will be secured to prevent access; and
4. If necessary, further procedures will be determined and implemented as appropriate given the specific nature of the emergency.

Walnut Grove Church Road Page 34
Waste and Recycling Center HHW Collection Facility June 2019 Operations Manual
Evacuation Plans
Whenever there is an emergency incident at the facility, the emergency coordinator will decide if
evacuation is necessary. In making this decision, the emergency coordinator will consider various
factors, including the following:
• potential for the fire and/or explosion to intensify or spread;
• potential for release of toxic fumes; and
• quantity of released material.

If evacuation of the facility is necessary, personnel will be immediately notified by voice. The following
procedures will then be implemented:

1. All personnel will leave the facility as quickly as possible through the nearest exit and proceed
directly to a designated assembly area at a safe distance from the facility. All site personnel will be
accounted for. If any personnel are missing, attempts to find them will not involve endangering the lives of others. No personnel or vehicles will be allowed to reenter the facility unless specifically
authorized by the emergency coordinator. Normally, the only persons allowed to reenter will be
emergency response personnel.
2. After the emergency is over, reentry will not be allowed until the emergency coordinator has determined that the facility is safe and has given appropriate notification to personnel.

Written Program
The Tradebe Drum and Container Handling Standard is located on file.
GG. Bonding/Grounding (Bulking of Hazardous / Non-Hazardous Liquid Waste
The bonding and grounding guidelines apply whenever transfers of flammable and combustible
liquids occur. Static is generated when liquids move in contact with other materials. This can occur
during mixing, pouring, pumping, filtering, piping and agitating operations. Under certain conditions,
particularly with hydrocarbon fuel liquids, static charges may accumulate in or on the surface of the
liquid. If the accumulation is sufficient and conditions are right, a static spark may occur. The
discharge of static may be of sufficient energy to act as an ignition source for
flammable/combustible vapor-air mixtures. Grounding and bonding of the transfer system helps to
control the accumulation of static electricity and provide a path to dissipate the electrical energy.
Prior to any flammable or combustible liquid transfer, a system must be established to effectively
dissipate any static electricity that develops during the transfer. Grounding and bonding provides this
system. All materials with a flash point of less than 140°F must be grounded and bonded before
transfer can occur. All Bonding and Grounding cables will be inspected and documented on a
monthly basis. The Disposal Manager will keep documented inspections reports.

The Tradebe Bonding & Grounding Standard is located in on file.
HH. Heat Stress
Work in hot environments can cause several types of heat stress illnesses. Physical work combined
with environmental factors such as ambient air temperature, radiant heat from work area surfaces,
humidity and chemical protective clothing can burden the body's heat regulatory system. Heat stress illness can occur when this system gets overloaded. This program establishes guidelines for heat
stress prevention, detection and first aid.

Written Program
Supervisors are responsible for employees taking required breaks and having enough water and an
cool place to shelter during hot weather.
II. Ergonomics
The ergonomic guidelines are established to aid Orange County personnel in the recognition of at-
risk situations and the prevention of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) under the County Risk Manager
office. A repetitive strain injury is an injury or disorder of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints,
nerves, blood vessels or related soft tissue including a sprain, strain, and inflammation that may be
caused or aggravated by work. RSIs are not typically the result of any instantaneous or acute event,
such as a slip or fall, but reflect a more gradual or chronic development.
