Material Inventory:
This section identifies significant materials stored at the facility. Table 1 below lists any
materials, amounts, storage type, and containment systems for all chemical storage or
handling locations with a potential for slug discharge to the sanitary sewer system.

Spill Prevention:
Table 1 and Figures 1 & 2 above identify chemical storage locations in the MRF, as well as
storage and containment measures. Materials in the storage containers are transferred to
smaller containers (generally 1 to 5-gallons) via hand or air actuated pump. In the event
of a spill, cleanup measures are taken immediately focused on not allowing liquids to
reach sewer drains. Additionally, household hazardous wastes may from time to time
enter the MRF. Operators are trained to identify potential hazards via the Waste
Screening Program, and manage the waste in a manner to prevent spills, as appropriate.
Bulk liquids are also banned from the landfill and MRF, so any release should be small in

volume. Absorbent pads; booms; sock, and oil dry are all kept in known locations on or
near the tipping floor to prevent spills from reaching the floor drains.
Slug Prevention:
As referred to above, it is highly unlikely that a spill in the MRF would result in a slug of
contaminants reaching the wastewater treatment plant. In the event of a larger spill, the
potentially contaminated liquids could be held in the sewer lift station located between the
MRF and the sewer main.
Conversely, it is also unlikely that a hazardous materials spill in the landfill would reach
the wastewater treatment plant. Hazardous wastes and bulk liquids are both banned from
the landfill, and operators are trained to identify and prevent these materials from
disposal. It is, however, likely that a slug of liquids that have been in contact with waste
(leachate) could reach the plant. Figures 2 & 3 above illustrate the leachate collection
system employed at the landfill. Leachate from Phase I gravity feeds into the leachate
lagoon at the wastewater treatment plant. Leachate from Phases II & III is pumped out
of the landfill via sump pumps, into dual containment leachate lines. These lines also
drain into the leachate lagoon. Any slug of leachate, such as after heavy rains, can be
controlled by allowing the liquids to remain in the lagoon, or in the leachate collection
layer at the bottom of the landfill temporarily; so long as 2-feet of freeboard remains in
the lagoon, and no more than 1-foot of head is allowed on the landfill liner. The lagoon
should be pumped down as much as possible prior to major rain events. Leachate from
the lagoon is transferred to the wastewater treatment plant via 40-gpm pumps.
Therefore, the slug of leachate should not affect the plant. Further, the leachate is
regularly analyzed for contaminants at 2L drinking water standards.
Spill/Slug Reporting and Notification:
The Town of Franklin will be notified immediately of any accidental discharge of potentially
hazardous substances or any slug loads or spills that may enter the public sewer from the
landfill or MRF. In the event of a hazardous material emergency, staff will contact
Emergency Services via 911, who will, in turn, contact the appropriate Town personnel.

Training Program:
All employees with job duties related to this Plan receive hazardous waste recognition and
spill awareness training at least annually. This training includes the following topics:
Location of hazardous materials used at the facility.
Good housekeeping practices.
Location of spill cleanup materials.
• BMP's for preventing spills.
• Emergency Notification Procedures.
Emergency Response Plan (in Facility Operations Plan).
• Preventative Maintenance.
Identification of hazardous materials that may be dumped on the tipping floor.
