Solid Waste Section
Date Septem bird, 20�B� Y .rostclactlull
JL.V
The purpose of this plan is to define a standard operations procedure for Henderson County
Landfill to operate an on -site, Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) program. This plan
should be utilized by personnel that have been trained to a minimum, at the operations
level according to the OSHA 1910.120 standard also known as the Hazardous Waste
Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standard. This involves undergoing
twenty four hours of hands - on and classroom training. Please see the Contingency Plan
(Appendix A)
2.0 Facility_ Preparation
Prior to the scheduled HHW collection, Henderson County personnel should complete the
following checklist;
• Check drive thru and post signage such as No Smoking, Stay in your vehicle...
• Set up tables and cover them in plastic.
• Place fire extinguishers under tables.
• Place the emergency air horn (evacuation signal) under table.
• Open storage building and inventory contents.
• Organize work area. Example, locate drums in a convenient area for processing and
make sure they are labeled.
• Make safety supplies available in a convenient area. Safety supplies such as gloves,
Tyvek aprons/suits/coats, safety glasses...
• Conduct site safety meeting including a review of emergency facilities and
procedures.
3.0 Receiving Waste
Personnel should unload wastes onto tables in the receiving area. This process should
remain organized in a manner that prevents incompatible chemicals from mixing, and
minimizes potential exposure, slips, trips, falls and spills. If the work area becomes too
cluttered personnel should stop vehicle unloading until wastes are segregated and placed in
appropriate containers and safe working conditions have been restored. Personnel
unloading vehicles should look for labels on containers and if a container is not labeled ask
the resident about the contents. Vehicle unloaders should look for leaking containers and
provide containment for leaking containers immediately.

Spills associated with leaking containers should be cleaned up immediately. Any
containers that are unknown, in bulging containers, have crystallized or appear to be
unstable should be brought to attention of the chemist immediately. Do not move
these items prior to having the chemist check them. Once the onsite chemist has
determined the best procedure for processing this waste personnel can resume normal work
practices. Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) should be as follows:
• Unloaders Level D
• Segregators Level D with Level C available
• Chemist Level D with Level C available
Personal Protective Equipment
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is necessary when handling hazardous materials to
prevent skin contact with harmful substances. Normally, contractor personnel will not be
opening containers, so airborne exposures will be minimal. However, PPE is needed to
protect persons from spills, broken containers and sharp objects. PPE that is to be worn by
contractor personnel are specified according to the Health & Safety Plan. The following
states the _typical PPE which would be utilized at household hazardous waste_ collection
programs;
Persons Removing Waste from Cars or Pickup Trucks
• White Tyvek- suits/coveralls
• Safety glasses with side shields
• Chemical resistant gloves with outer leather or other puncture resistant gloves
• Safety shoes
• Traffic vest
NOTE: Depending on the substances being handled, a higher level of PPE including
chemical resistant coveralls and appropriate respirators may be required.
Persons Opening containers
• Chemical resistant coveralls (polyethylene -coated type or equivalent), or splash
aprons
• Polyurethane or other chemical resistant safety boots.
• Respirator with organic vapor cartridge and high efficiency particulate air
(HEPA) filter if necessary (as determined by the waste material being handled)
• Chemical resistant inner glove and outer puncture -resistant (leather glove)

Persons Segregating Waste from Vehicles
• Safety glasses
• White Tyvek suits/coveralls
• Safety shoes/ boots
• Respirator (as required for splash or respiratory hazards) Chemical resistant inner
glove and puncture resistant outer glove
Persons Lab Packing Household Hazardous Waste
• Safety glasses (with goggles or full -face shield when necessary)
• White Tyvek or chemical resistant coverall
• Safety boots
• Respirator (as required)
• Chemical resistant inner glove and puncture resistant outer gloves
4.0 Segregating_ Waste
Personnel are unloading wastes onto tables in the processing area and helping segregate
these items during the unloading process. There will be a person working at the tables in
this area whose job is segregating and packing the wastes as they come into the facility.
The wastes should be segregated by DOT hazard class. Please see the Chemical
Incompatibilities Chart Appendix B and the Household Hazardous Substance and Primary
Hazards List Appendix C. Utilize the charts in the appendices to aid in the following
categorization strategy;
• Flammable cubic yard boxes include: 1 gallon containers (or smaller) of adhesives,
glues, cement, oil based - paint, paint thinner, sealants, polishes, and strippers. The
box should be labeled OIL BASED PAINT.
• Non-flammable cubic yard boxes include: 1 gallon (or smaller) containers of, latex
paint, latex based sealants, coatings, strippers, polishes, deck cleaner, glues and
adhesives. The box should be labeled LATEX PAINT. Non-flammables can go in
flammable boxes because it is exempt waste but, flammables are regulated
wastes and CANNOT go into the non-flammables boxes.
• 55 gallon open top Poly drums are suitable for corrosives. The acid drum will
contain products with a pH of 0-7 such as muriatic acid. It is important to pH
products as they are received and write the pH on the container. Place acids in the
acid drum as they are received. Label the drum ACIDS pH 0-7.Acids should be
segregated into Organic and Inorganic and should not be placed in the same
container.
• 55 gallon open top Poly drums suitable for corrosives. The Alkali drum will contain
products with a pH of 8-14 such as oven cleaner and other household cleaners and
strippers. It is important to pH products as they are received and write the pH on the

container. Place alkalis in the alkali drum as they are received. Label the drum
ALKALI pH 8-14.
• The North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) will take all pesticides,
insecticides, rodenticides and lawn care products that have an EPA Registry number
free on scheduled dates. Keep these items on the shelves in the storage building and
in containers in that same room. Segregate these into liquids and solids. NCDA will
not accept fertilizers through this program.
• Reactives and Oxidizers will be handled as they are received in order to assure
secondary containment and. appropriate storage. Photo chemicals and swimming
pool products usually fit into these categories.
• Aerosol cans should be placed into 55 gallon steel open top drums as they are
received. This drum should be labeled FLAMMABLE AEROSOLS.
• Small flammable containers (16 ounce or less) can be placed in a 55 gallon steel
drum labeled FLAMMABLE LOOSEPACK. These items may include touch up
paints, glues, caulks, epoxies, polishes, waxes, gasoline additives, inks, and various
chemicals.
• A small 5 gallon Poly lab pack should be designated for mercury wastes such as
thermometers and thermostats. This container should be labeled MERCURY.
• _ Fluorescent_light_bulbs should_ be placed_ in cardboard boxes_ labeled_ UNIVERSAL
WASTE LAMP(S) and kept CLOSED except when adding or removing wastes
(this is true for 4' & 8' lamps). Compact fluorescents should be placed into a 5
gallon Poly lab pack and labeled UNIVERSAL WASTE LAMP (S) also.
• Used oil will be collected or poured in the tank labeled USED OIL.
• Used antifreeze should be collected or poured in 55 gallon steel drums labeled
USED ANTIFREEZE.
• Used automotive and recreational vehicle batteries should be collected on pallets,
shrink wrapped and stored in a manner that prevents potential release into the
environment.
• Rechargeable batteries should be segregated into lithium ion, nickel/metal hydride,
or cadmium categories. Each category may be stored in a 6 gallon lab pack that is
appropriately labeled.
Unknown wastes that are received will undergo field screening tests to determine their
classification. In the event that field screening measures are not adequate for identification
purposes the waste will remain on -site, isolated in a container by itself. If it is necessary for
off -site analysis to be performed, contractor personnel will prepare samples for chemical
analysis. Contractor personnel will maintain a chain of custody and deliver samples to a
state certified laboratory for analysis. Once the analytical results are received, the material
will be properly packaged for transport and scheduled for appropriate disposal.
Partially filled containers will remain on -site until adequate amounts are collected and
properly packaged for transport. At the end of each collection event all materials will be
properly packaged and safely stored in accordance with state and local fire codes until the
next collection or transportation whichever comes first.

If pumping, pouring, or bulking of wastes is required, grounding and explosion -proof
equipment will be used as needed. For lab pack and bulk packaged waste, all containers
will meet DOT specifications, as far as type, and size most appropriate for the specific
waste type and planned method of treatment or disposal. 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 1 cubic yard boxes.
5.0 Packing and Labeling
The Project Manager for your contractor will assist with packing, labeling, transporting,
placarding, manifesting and disposal. When packing waste remember that waste must be
packed in a suitable DOT - approved container that is compatible with the waste. When
packing wastes the following containers will be used;
• DOT - approved for shipping hazardous materials, triple walled cubic yard boxes
with poly liners.
• DOT - approved open top steel drums with bungs, ring and gasket.
• DOT - approved open top poly drums with bungs, ring and gasket.
The container will have at least one 4" X 4" DOT diamond indicating the appropriate
hazard class. If the container contents have more than 1 hazard then there will be more than
1 label with the primary hazard label being placed above the secondary hazard. For
example acetic acid is an organic acid that is both acidic and flammable. A drum of acetic
acid would have a primary hazard of corrosive and a secondary hazard of flammable. When
labeling this drum the corrosive label would be first and on top then the flammable label
would be placed beneath and to the right. Please see the DOT Hazard Classes listed below;
• Class 1 Explosives
• Class 2 Flammable, Non-flammable and poisonous Gases
• Class 3 Flammable and combustible liquids
• Class 4 Flammable solids, spontaneously combustible materials, and dangerous
when wet materials.
• Class 5 Oxidizers and organic peroxides
• Class 6 Poisonous materials and infectious substances.
• Class 7 Radioactive materials
• Class 8 Corrosive materials.
• Class 9 Miscellaneous hazardous materials.
The majority of the waste coming into the facility will be class 3 flammable and
combustible liquids class 6 poisonous materials and infectious substances and class 8
corrosive materials. The operations permit issued by the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Waste Management (DWM)
forbids the acceptance of explosives, Biohazardous waste, and radioactive materials.
The wastes will also have a Non -Hazardous Non -Regulated label or a Non -Hazardous
Waste label on each container to the left of the DOT hazard class diamond. The Non-

Hazardous Waste label is a 6" X 6" square that includes the waste description and
generator information such as address, EPA ID # and phone number. The waste description
should include the name such as oil based - paint; DOT hazard class, packing group, and
Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) guide number. This information will also be
required on the manifest.
For any necessary lab packing, wastes will first be segregated according to DOT hazard
class, then by chemical compatibility and by acceptance criteria of specific waste recycling,
treatment, or disposal facilities. An 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. Each inner container will be recorded on
container content forms, providing a complete report of the contents of any drum.
Whether lab pack or bulk, the filled drums will be closed, labeled, and marked in
accordance with DOT and EPA shipping requirements, and the proper information will be
recorded on the manifest. The generator's notification and certification will also be
prepared as required under the land -ban regulations if applicable.
6.0 Storage and Accumulation
The Henderson County Permanent HHW Collection Facility will be designed and
constructed to ensure safe and efficient operation. According to state guidance concerning
the storage of ignitable and reactive wastes, the structure will be located at least 50 feet
from the facility's property line. The storage building will be segregated from other
operational areas of the solid waste facility in order to minimize damage in the event of a
fire. The location of the HHW facility relative to other operational areas is shown on the
enclosed map.
As required for safety and environmental protection the structure will be:
• Designed to contain spills and leaks
• Covered to exclude rainwater
• Secured to control access
• Constructed in accordance with all applicable National Fire Protection Association
codes
The storage building will be designed to accommodate the temporary accumulation of
several classes of hazardous materials.
In accordance with state requirements for temporary storage, the date upon which each
period of accumulation begins will be clearly marked and visible on each container. A
complete inventory log of materials will be kept on -site.

Storage time may vary according to the volume of wastes received. The contractor will
schedule removal of waste as necessary to minimize expense while still complying with the
applicable regulations and safety considerations. Wastes will not be stored longer than 180
days without written permission from the NC DENR Division of Solid Waste Management.
7.0 Provisions for Ignitable, Reactive, or Incompatible Wastes
Facility and contractor personnel will use special precautions to protect ignitable or
reactive wastes from sources of ignition or reaction. These wastes will be separated from
other wastes being stored in the collection facility. Any ignitable or reactive wastes will be
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,_will_be allowed only by special permission of the contractor's Project
Supervisor or designee. This permission will be 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 placed 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 are stored will 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:
Incompatible wastes will not be placed in the same container;
Hazardous wastes will only be placed in new, unused containers or in containers
cleaned and reconditioned by a licensed manufacturer (and labeled as such);
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 will have secondary containment
such as drip pans constructed of steel or polyethylene.
As a general role, 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;

3. Produce uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities m
pose a risk of fire or explosions;
4. Damage the structural integrity of the device or facility containing the
wastes; or
5. Threaten human health or the environment.
The procedures to comply with these provisions depend upon:
Proper identification of waste materials as they are received:
Segregated storage according to compatible hazard class: and
No co -mingling, bulking, or combining of incompatible hazard
classes.
8.0 Manifesting and Transporting
HHW is exempt and should be manifested using a Non -Hazardous Waste manifest. The -
manifest should include the following information:
• Generator's ID number (this is the facility's EPA ID #).
• Emergency response phone number
• Waste tracking number
• Generators name and mailing address
• Generators site address if it is different from the mailing address.
• Transporter name and EPA ID #
• Designated facility name, site address, phone # and facility EPA ID #
• Waste shipping name and description (this will include DOT hazard class, packing
group and ERG Guide #).
• The number of containers for each description, container type, total quantity, and
the unit weight/volume.
• Any special handling instructions
• The Generator's Certification including signature
• Transporter signature
• Designated facility information including signature and certification of receipt of
materials
Once the waste has been received by the designated facility and the manifest has been
signed by the facility certifying receipt the receiving facility will send a signed return
manifest back to the County. This return manifest must be received within 45 days or the
County must file an exception report with the NC DENR HWS which will start an
investigation of the disposition of the waste. For this reason it is strongly recommended
that in the event the County has not received a signed return manifest from the
receiving facility within 30 days they should call the facility and make arrangements
to get the appropriate documentation from them.

Once the return manifest has been received it should be stapled to the initial manifest and
kept on file for a minimum of 3 years.
When transporting the waste you must use a licensed hazardous waste transporter. The
facility generating the waste is equally liable for the waste during transportation as the
transporter. Facility personnel will need to verify that all of the information on the manifest
is accurate and that the truck is placarded correctly on all 4 sides before allowing the
transporter to leave the facility.
9.0 Unacceptable Waste
Radioactive Waste
Smoke detectors are the most likely household waste to contain radioactivity. Residents
will be advised by government employees to mail the used smoke detector back to the
manufacturers -if they are still in business. If the company is no longer in business, then the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission recommends landfilling the smoke detector in a municipal
solid waste landfill.
Other household wastes are unlikely to have any measurable radioactivity except static
eliminators from record players which have a very short life. The Radiation Protection
Office of University of North Carolina recommends landfilling these when they become
unusable.
Explosives
If explosives are delivered to the facility, the first step will be to immediately assess the
possible danger and close the site if necessary until these materials are removed. Henderson
County Sheriffs Department will handle any small arms ammunition including rifle,
shotgun, and handgun. For any military type explosives, the Sheriffs Department can be
contacted to handle explosives.
Infectious Waste
The County will receive sharps if they are packaged in approved collection boxes, and will
contract for collection and disposal at an approved facility.
Other, non -sharp, unregulated or regulated medical waste that may show up at the facility
may be received by the County, on a case by case basis, and collected and transported by a
contractor to be disposed of at an approved medical waste facility. Regulated medical
waste will either be treated through steam sterilization, incineration per the regulations of
the State, or microwaving which is a new technology, that the State allows for medical
waste.

10.0 Closure Plan
When the County decides to close the HHW facility and cease operations all wastes will be
removed from the storage areas, packed in accordance with the receiving facility and DOT
requirements, transported by an approved hazardous waste transporter to a permitted
treatment, storage and disposal facility for appropriate disposal.
Once all waste have been removed and appropriately disposed the County will contact their
designated Waste Management Specialist from NC DENR DWM for inspection.

Solid Waste Section Operations Plan
Asheville Regional Office
1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this plan is to define a standard operations procedure for Henderson County
Landfill to operate an on -site, Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) program. This plan
should be utilized by personnel that have been trained to a minimum, at the operations
level according to the OSHA 1910.120 standard also known as the Hazardous Waste
Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standard. This involves undergoing
twenty four hours of hands - on and classroom training. Please see the Contingency Plan
(Appendix A)
2.0 Facility Preparation
Prior to the scheduled HHW collection, Henderson County personnel should complete the
following checklist;
• Check drive thru and post signage such as No Smoking, Stay in your vehicle...
• Set up tables and cover them in plastic.
• Place fire extinguishers under tables.
• Place the emergency air horn (evacuation signal) under table.
• Open storage building and inventory contents.
• Organize work area. Example, locate drums in a convenient area for processing and
make sure they are labeled.
• Make safety supplies available in a convenient area. Safety supplies such as gloves,
Tyvek aprons/suits/coats, safety glasses...
• Conduct site safety meeting including a review of emergency facilities and
procedures.
3.0 Receiving Waste
Personnel should unload wastes onto tables in the receiving area. This process should
remain organized in a manner that prevents incompatible chemicals from mixing, and
minimizes potential exposure, slips, trips, falls and spills. If the work area becomes too
cluttered personnel should stop vehicle unloading until wastes are segregated and placed in
appropriate containers and safe working conditions have been restored. Personnel
unloading vehicles should look for labels on containers and if a container is not labeled ask
the resident about the contents. Vehicle unloaders should look for leaking containers and
provide containment for leaking containers immediately.

container. Place alkalis in the alkali drum as they are received. Label the drum
ALKALI pH 8-14.
• The North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) will take all pesticides,
insecticides, rodenticides and lawn care products that have an EPA Registry number
free on scheduled dates. Keep these items on the shelves in the storage building and
in containers in that same room. Segregate these into liquids and solids. NCDA will
not accept fertilizers through this program.
• Reactives and Oxidizers will be handled as they are received in order to assure
secondary containment and appropriate storage. Photo chemicals and swimming
pool products usually fit into these categories.
• Aerosol cans should be placed into 55 gallon steel open top drums as they are
received. This drum should be labeled FLAMMABLE AEROSOLS.
• Small flammable containers (16 ounce or less) can be placed in a 55 gallon steel
drum labeled FLAMMABLE LOOSEPACK. These items may include touch up
paints, glues, caulks, epoxies, polishes, waxes, gasoline additives, inks, and various
chemicals.
• A small 5 gallon Poly lab pack should be designated for mercury wastes such as
thermometers and thermostats. This container should be labeled MERCURY.
• Fluorescent _light -bulbs should-be-placed--in-cardboard-boxes-labeled-UNIVERSAL
WASTE LAMP(S) and kept CLOSED except when adding or removing wastes
(this is true for 4' & 8' lamps). Compact fluorescents should be placed into a 5
gallon Poly lab pack and labeled UNIVERSAL WASTE LAMP (S) also.
• Used oil will be collected or poured in the tank labeled USED OIL.
• Used antifreeze should be collected or poured in 55 gallon steel drums labeled
USED ANTIFREEZE.
• Used automotive and recreational vehicle batteries should be collected on pallets,
shrink wrapped and stored in a manner that prevents potential release into the
environment.
• Rechargeable batteries should be segregated into lithium ion, nickel/metal hydride,
or cadmium categories. Each category may be stored in a 6 gallon lab pack that is
appropriately labeled.
Unknown wastes that are received will undergo field screening tests to determine their
classification. In the event that field screening measures are not adequate for identification
purposes the waste will remain on -site, isolated in a container by itself. If it is necessary for
off -site analysis to be performed, contractor personnel will prepare samples for chemical
analysis. Contractor personnel will maintain a chain of custody and deliver samples to a
state certified laboratory for analysis. Once the analytical results are received, the material
will be properly packaged for transport and scheduled for appropriate disposal.
Partially filled containers will remain on -site until adequate amounts are collected and
properly packaged for transport. At the end of each collection event all materials will be
properly packaged and safely stored in accordance with state and local fire codes until the
next collection or transportation whichever comes first.

If pumping, pouring, or bulking of wastes is required, grounding and explosion -proof
equipment will be used as needed. For lab pack and bulk packaged waste, all containers
will meet DOT specifications, as far as type, and size most appropriate for the specific
waste type and planned method of treatment or disposal. 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 1 cubic yard boxes.
5.0 Packing and Labeling
The Project Manager for your contractor will assist with packing, labeling, transporting,
placarding, manifesting and disposal. When packing waste remember that waste must be
packed in a suitable DOT - approved container that is compatible with the waste. When
packing wastes the following containers will be used;
DOT - approved for shipping hazardous materials, triple walled cubic yard boxes
with poly liners.
DOT - approved open top steel drums with bungs, ring and gasket.
DOT - approved open top poly drums with bungs, ring and gasket.
The container will have at least one 4" X 4" DOT diamond indicating the appropriate
hazard class. If the container contents have more than 1 hazard then there will be more than
1 label with the primary hazard label being placed above the secondary hazard. For
example acetic acid is an organic acid that is both acidic and flammable. A drum of acetic
acid would have a primary hazard of corrosive and a secondary hazard of flammable. When
labeling this drum the corrosive label would be first and on top then the flammable label
would be placed beneath and to the right. Please see the DOT Hazard Classes listed below;
• Class 1 Explosives
• Class 2 Flammable, Non-flammable and poisonous Gases
• Class 3 Flammable and combustible liquids
• Class 4 Flammable solids, spontaneously combustible materials, and dangerous
when wet materials.
• Class 5 Oxidizers and organic peroxides
• Class 6 Poisonous materials and infectious substances.
• Class 7 Radioactive materials
• Class 8 Corrosive materials.
• Class 9 Miscellaneous hazardous materials.
The majority of the waste coming into the facility will be class 3 flammable and
combustible liquids class 6 poisonous materials and infectious substances and class 8
corrosive materials. The operations permit issued by the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Waste Management (DWM)
forbids the acceptance of explosives, Biohazardous waste, and radioactive materials.
The wastes will also have a Non -Hazardous Non -Regulated label or a Non -Hazardous
Waste label on each container to the left of the DOT hazard class diamond. The Non-

Hazardous Waste label is a 6" X 6" square that includes the waste description and
generator information such as address, EPA ID # and phone number. The waste description
should include the name such as oil based - paint; DOT hazard class, packing group, and
Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) guide number. This information will also be
required on the manifest.
For any necessary lab packing, wastes will first be segregated according to DOT hazard
class, then by chemical compatibility and by acceptance criteria of specific waste recycling,
treatment, or disposal facilities. An 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. Each inner container will be recorded on
container content forms, providing a complete report of the contents of any drum.
Whether lab pack or bulk, the filled drums will be closed, labeled, and marked in
accordance with DOT and EPA shipping requirements, and the proper information will be
recorded on the manifest. The generator's notification and certification will also be
prepared as required under the land -ban regulations if applicable.
6.0 Storage and Accumulation
The Henderson County Permanent HHW Collection Facility will be designed and
constructed to ensure safe and efficient operation. According to state guidance concerning
the storage of ignitable and reactive wastes, the structure will be located at least 50 feet
from the facility's property line. The storage building will be segregated from other
operational areas of the solid waste facility in order to minimize damage in the event of a
fire. The location of the HHW facility relative to other operational areas is shown on the
enclosed map.
As required for safety and environmental protection the structure will be:
• Designed to contain spills and leaks
• Covered to exclude rainwater
• Secured to control access
• Constructed in accordance with all applicable National Fire Protection Association
codes
The storage building will be designed to accommodate the temporary accumulation of
several classes of hazardous materials.
In accordance with state requirements for temporary storage, the date upon which each
period of accumulation begins will be clearly marked and visible on each container. A
complete inventory log of materials will be kept on -site.

Storage time may vary according to the volume of wastes received. The contractor will
schedule removal of waste as necessary to minimize expense while still complying with the
applicable regulations and safety considerations. Wastes will not be stored longer than 180
days without written permission from the NC DENR Division of Solid Waste Management.
7.0 Provisions for Ignitable, Reactive, or Incompatible Wastes
Facility and contractor personnel will use special precautions to protect ignitable or
reactive wastes from sources of ignition or reaction. These wastes will be separated from
other wastes being stored in the collection facility. Any ignitable or reactive wastes will be
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, will be allowed only by special permission of the contractor's Project
Supervisor or designee. This permission will be 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 placed 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 are stored will 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:
Incompatible wastes will not be placed in the same container;
Hazardous wastes will only be placed in new, unused containers or in containers
cleaned and reconditioned by a licensed manufacturer (and labeled as such);
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 will have secondary containment
such as drip pans constructed of steel or polyethylene.
As a general role, 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;

3. Produce uncontrolled flammable fumes or gases in sufficient quantities m
pose a risk of fire or explosions;
4. Damage the structural integrity of the device or facility containing the
wastes; or
5. Threaten human health or the environment.
The procedures to comply with these provisions depend upon:
• Proper identification of waste materials as they are received:
• Segregated storage according to compatible hazard class: and
• No co -mingling, bulking, or combining of incompatible hazard
classes.
8.0 Manifesting and Transporting
HHW is exempt and should be manifested using a Non -Hazardous Waste manifest. The
manifest should include the following information:
• Generator's ID number (this is the facility's EPA ID #).
• Emergency response phone number
• Waste tracking number
• Generators name and mailing address
• Generators site address if it is different from the mailing address.
• Transporter name and EPA ID #
• Designated facility name, site address, phone # and facility EPA ID #
• Waste shipping name and description (this will include DOT hazard class, packing
group and ERG Guide #).
• The number of containers for each description, container type, total quantity, and
the unit weight/volume.
• Any special handling instructions
• The Generator's Certification including signature
• Transporter signature
• Designated facility information including signature and certification of receipt of
materials
Once the waste has been received by the designated facility and the manifest has been
signed by the facility certifying receipt the receiving facility will send a signed return
manifest back to the County. This return manifest must be received within 45 days or the
County must file an exception report with the NC DENR HWS which will start an
investigation of the disposition of the waste. For this reason it is strongly recommended
that in the event the County has not received a signed return manifest from the
receiving facility within 30 days they should call the facility and make arrangements
to get the appropriate documentation from them.

Once the return manifest has been received it should be stapled to the initial manifest and
kept on file for a minimum of 3 years.
When transporting the waste you must use a licensed hazardous waste transporter. The
facility generating the waste is equally liable for the waste during transportation as the
transporter. Facility personnel will need to verify that all of the information on the manifest
is accurate and that the truck is placarded correctly on all 4 sides before allowing the
transporter to leave the 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 disasters (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
The Henderson County Permanent HHW Collection Facility will be operated largely
through existing County and Government staff. Contractors will be used for some over -packing,
transport, and disposal/recycling of materials. Local government representatives (from the
responsible agency listed above) intend to receive appropriate training prior to undertaking
related tasks. In the event of an emergency, all appropriately trained personnel who are available
(possibly including both contractor personnel and local government representatives) would
participate in the response as directed by the designated emergency coordinator (Gary Corn).
Accordingly, throughout the remainder of this plan, the term "personnel' will be used to refer to
appropriately trained representatives of both groups.
Arrangements with Local Authorities
Local government representatives from the responsible agency will make arrangements to
familiarize local authorities with all pertinent aspects of the facility and its operations. In
Henderson County, primary emergency authority is assigned to Henderson County Emergency
Management, with other agencies in supporting roles. The responsible agency will therefore
f:"

work with this Emergency Management office to ensure that all appropriate local authorities are
properly prepared. In this case, Park Ridge Hospital and/or Pardee Hospital may be utilized as
needed.
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:
a) The plan fails in an emergency;
b) There are significant changes in facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance;
c) The list of emergency contacts is changed;
d) 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 will include some or all of the following, as deemed necessary by the
Coordinator or Project Supervisor for this facility: spill control equipment (described in a
subsequent section), decontamination solutions, fire extinguishers, personnel protective
equipment, emergency eyewash station, and first aid kit.
Designation of Emergency Coordinator
At all times, there will be at least one 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, local and characteristics of wastes to be handled, location
of all facility records, and facility layout. In addition, this person will have the authority to
commit the resources needed to implement the contingency plan. The emergency coordinator
will coordinate all emergency response activities with the contractor's Project Supervisor or
designee and will supervise the implementation of emergency procedures described in the
following sections of this plan.
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 will include some or all of the following: bulk
absorbents, over -pack drums, absorbent booms 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 adhered to:
1) The individual who notices the spill will alert other personnel by voice or three blasts of an
air horn.
2) All personnel will stop work and secure their areas of responsibility.
II

3) The emergency coordinator will direct all public 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 effects (e.g., the effects of any
toxic, irritating or asphyxiating gases that are generated, or the effects of any hazardous
surface -water runoff from water or any chemical agents used). 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. 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. If this level of notification becomes necessary, it is essential keep a record
of the notification including the assigned Incident Number and the name of the Officer
spoken to.
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 the 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) If the emergency coordinator determines that a significant amount of wastes escaped from the
facility's secondary containment structures, the facility's transportation and disposal
contractor will take soil and/or surface -water samples to determine the extent of
contamination of the area and possible remedial action.
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.
11) The responsible agency will make a report of the incident in the operating record and will
also notify the NC DENR's Division of Waste Management within 24 hours. A written report
will be filed with the Division within 15 days, and it should include all the information listed
in item 5 above, plus the estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material from the
incident.
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 or a long
blast (at least 10 seconds) from an air horn.
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 because the water spray could cause spattering or allow the liquid to spread.
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 berming 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 National Response Center or the government official designated as the on -
scene coordinator for the area. 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.
7) Once the fire has been extinguished, then 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.
8) Further response to a fire will proceed according to steps 8 through 11 as described under the
preceding spill response section of this contingency plan.
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 noticing the situation will notify other personnel by voice or long blast (at
least 10 seconds) of an air horn.
IM

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.
4) If necessary, further procedures will be determined and implemented as appropriate given the
specific nature of the emergency.
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: a) potential for the fire and/or explosion to
intensify or spread; b) potential for release of toxic fumes; and c) quantity of released material.
If evacuation of the facility is necessary, personnel will be immediately notified by voice
or air horn. 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 re-enter
the facility unless specifically authorized by the emergency coordinator. Normally, the only
persons allowed to re-enter the facility will be the emergency response personnel.
2) After the emergency is over, re-entry will not be allowed until the emergency coordinator has
determined that the facility is safe and has given appropriate notification to personnel.
3) Drills will periodically be held to practice these evacuation procedures and will be treated
with the same seriousness as an actual emergency.
