Chemical Database continuation • Waste Codes (EPA) H/D 001 (ignitable) • Chemical location Flammable cabinet, corrosive cabinet, chemical cabinet • other 10

Waste Characterization • IS IT A WASTE? Some items are reusable. Reusable labels shall be used for identifying these items (e. g. ethanol). DON’T USE WASTE LABELS. 11

REUSABLE 12

1. RADIOACTIVE? • Did it come from a radiation area? If so, the material may be a radioactive or mixed waste. • Items must be surveyed Note: only certain chemicals are approved to be used in rad areas (i. e. , KPC 820 N). • For assistance, contact a Radiological Technician. 13

2. TRASHABLE no chemicals/ liquids • Regular garbage and shop trash • Empty containers rendered unusable *(carboys, poly and fiberboard drums) – remove the cap or cut the container in half so it can’t be reused for draining fluids from vehicles or motor equipment 14

TRASHABLE BROKEN WOODEN PALLETS • may only go into a 20 yd 3 dumpster. Contact Sue Populorum @ X-3876. • Contact Larry Rodriguez (BS) @ X-4225 to have pallets picked up from your location. 15

3. RECYCLABLE? free liquid • Electronic components (printed circuit boards, ballasts ), wire, empty cans, toxic metals, i. e. , lead and silver solders, etc. 16

3. RECYCLABLE? Electronic ballasts Remove the Ni. Cd battery* prior to recycling *RECYCLE AS UW 17

Lead and Silver Solder • Hand soldering is common assembly and repair of electronic parts. • Best way to manage solder is to use it up completely; however, this doesn’t always happen. 18

Lead and Silver Solder RECYCLABLE Disposal as regular trash is PROHIBITED 19

Lead and Silver Solder RECYCLABLE The Silver and lead concentration from waste (drippings) generated from soldering operations is too high & therefore will fail EPA’s toxic limit (5 mg/L) 20

3. RECYCLABLE? When solder waste is recycled, hazardous waste classification may be avoided 21

RECYCLING PROCEDURES for LEAD or SILVER Recyclable • Container must have a lid (e. g. , coffee can or poly bottle) • Container must be marked Recyclable Lead or Silver Solder 22

LEAD [Ag] SOLDER PROCEDURES Recyclable • Lead and silver solder must be segregated • Container shall remain closed unless adding or removing solder • When full, secure lid to container (tape) 23

LEAD [Ag] SOLDER PROCEDURES Recyclable 2 OPTIONS (pickup) • Contact Mike Frett (Mechanical Dept. ) or AD/WC to utilize scrap metal bins (X/Gallery) • Or complete a Material Move Request Form to have it picked up from your location 24

Paint Cans Recyclable Empty aerosol/paint cans Only water based paint, with a minimum volume of liquid left in the metal can, may be left open to air dry before recycling the can. Note: Oil dry or kitty litter can also be used to absorb any liquid 25

Oil Based Paints However, containers with leftover oil based paint must be processed as “hazardous waste” and can’t be left- open to air dry. 26

CORROSIVE (AD Incident) Lessons Learned Incident: Feb. 16, 2006 Involved: Mislabeled/Mischaracterized 55 gallon drum of liquid Waste Stream: descaling operation. What Happened? • Generator used p. H paper to check the p. H. Results = 3 • Drum of liquid was labeled SPECIAL WASTE and submitted to the Waste Coordinator for approval. 40

CORROSIVE (AD Incident) Form was approved and submitted to ESH/HCTT for pickup. • At Site 55 (HWSF), the HCTT technician conducted a routine p. H check of the waste, using 0 -14 p. H strips and the results = 0 to 1 41

CORROSIVE (AD Incident) He conducts another p. H test using 0 -6 range p. H strips, increments of 0. 5 for better accuracy. Results this time = 0 • HCTT technician reclassified & relabeled the waste, HAZARDOUS WASTE Notified the AD Waste Coordinator of the error. 42

CORROSIVE Methods to Prevent this Ø outdated p. H paper Ø 5 yr shelf life ALTERNATIVES • p. H strips have no shelf life • calibrated p. H meter 43

REACTIVE Waste Code: D 003 CFR 261. 23 Ø Normally unstable and readily undergoes violent change w/o detonating; Ø Reacts violently w/water; generate toxic gases, fumes, and vapors Ø Explosives Ø Cyanides AP 0 - LITHIUM METAL 44

TOXIC Waste Code: D 004 – D 043 CFR 261. 24. If the concentration of the contaminant exceeds EPA’s regulatory limits, the waste is hazardous. • Metals – lead (5 mg/L) Common to test old paint on bldgs and other bldg structures for toxic metals • Organics – methyl ketone (200 mg/L) • Pesticides – lindane (0. 4 mg/L) 45

4. HAZARDOUS? Is it a listed EPA hazardous waste • Non-specific • Specific 46

LISTED HAZARDOUS WASTE? (261. 32) K- listed - hazardous waste from specific manufacture of inks, organic or inorganic chemicals and pigments, petroleum refining, iron and steel industries, wood preserving, manufacture of pesticides Not generated @ FNAL 47

LISTED HAZARDOUS WASTE? CFR 261. 31 • The F- Listed waste is from nonspecific sources and includes spent solvents used in degreasing or other solvent operations, and various spent solvents no longer useful • EPA Waste Codes: F 001 – F 039 48

F- LISTED HAZARDOUS WASTE • Common @ Fermi spent halogenated and non-halogenated Waste Codes F 001 F 002 F 003 F 005 49

F – Listed Waste F 001 – spent halogenated solvents (degreasing) 1, 1, 1 - trichloroethane methylene chloride tetrachloroethylene trichloroethylene carbon tetrachloride chlorinated fluorocarbons Includes all spent solvent mixtures/blends used in degreasing, containing, before use, a total of 10% or more (by volume) of one or more of these halogenated solvents or those listed in F 002, F 004, F 005… 50

F – Listed Waste F 002 – spent halogenated solvents (non- degreasing) 1, 1, 1 - trichloroethane methylene chloride tetrachloroethylene trichloroethylene carbon tetrachloride chlorinated fluorocarbons Includes all spent solvent mixtures/blends, containing, before use, a total of 10% or more (by volume) of one or more of these halogenated solvents or those listed in F 001, F 004, F 005. 51

F – Listed Waste revised 6/2/2010 Solvent Contaminated Rags/Wipes with F 001 and F 002 must be managed as Hazardous Waste It is prohibited to purposely allow rags to air dry. Rags must be contained inside of an approved container. 52

F 003 – Listed Waste Acetone, methanol xylene Ethyl acetate, ethyl benzene ethyl ether, ethyl isobutyl ketone n-butyl alcohol Cyclohexanone All spent solvent mixtures/blends containing, before use, only the above spent nonhalogenated solvents; and all spent solvent mixtures/blends containing, before use, one or more of the above solvents, and a total of 10% or more (by volume) of one or more of these halogenated solvents or those listed in F 001, F 002, F 004 and F 005 53

F – Listed Waste F 005 – spent non-halogenated solvents Toluene methyl ketone carbon disulfide isobutanol Pyridine benzene 2 -ethoxyethanol 2 -nitropropane All spent solvent mixtures/blends containing, before use, a total of ten percent or more (by volume) of one or more of the above nonhalogenated solvents or those solvents listed in F 001, F 002, F 004 54

F 003 and F 005 Rags/Wipes revised 6/2/2010 Are managed as Hazardous Waste and can be commingled with other flammable solvent rags (i. e. , ethanol , isopropanol, mineral spirits). 55

It is prohibited to purposely air dry solvent rags and wipes • Solvents naturally evaporate from rags and wipes during the course of their use. This is unavoidable and it is acceptable if rags and wipes become devoid of free liquids in this way. However, it is not permissible to spread wet rags/wipes out to deliberately allow them to dry. This is considered treatment and would require a special permit from IEPA. It also would potentially create safety and health hazards and contribute to ground-level ozone (i. e. , smog) formation. Hint: Try to minimize the amount of solvent you apply to the rag/wipe. Use repeated applications, if necessary, rather than saturating the rag/wipe with solvent. 56

6. SPECIAL WASTE Special waste is a waste that isn’t hazardous as defined by RCRA; however, there are state regulations that govern the transportation and disposal of these types of waste. Liquids and TSCA materials. TSCA: to control substances determined to cause unreasonable risk to public health or the environment. Asbestos abatement and the use, storage, transport and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are included in these regulations. 72

INDUSTRIAL PROCESS WASTE Liquid, solid, semisolid, or gaseous waste generated when manufacturing a product or performing a service Examples: cutting lubricants, equipment cleanings, used solvents from parts cleaners, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) containing materials. POLLUTION CONTROL WASTE PIMW (potentially infectious medical waste) Pollution control waste is generated when contaminants are removed from the air, soil, or water. Generated in connection with diagnosis, treatment, medical research, biological testing, immunization of humans Examples: Cleanup waste or animals. from PCB spills (includes empty containers) and Examples: Needles, asbestos-containing syringes, medical sharps, materials (ACM) bandages generated during demolition and renovation operations. 73

BALLAST/CAPACITOR • Capacitor and ballast manufactured after July 1, 1978 that didn’t contain PCB’s should be marked No PCB's if it didn’t contain PCBs. • If unmarked, the item should be treated as PCB contaminated. . 74

IMPORTANT Non-PCB liquid filled ballast Can’t be disposed of via dumpster because they may contain a toxic fluid (diethylhexyl phthalate*) or other fluids (oil). These types of ballasts shall be discarded as Special Waste. * If unused, the waste code would be U 028. 75

Mandatory Requirements for PCB Materials included in handout • Temporary storage areas must be labeled with Large PCB Mark - label that is 6”x 6” 76

Mandatory Requirements for PCB Materials included in handout • Both Special Waste and PCB labels must be affixed to the waste container. Avoid covering manufacturer’s information • Contact the WC for labels. 77

Mandatory Requirements for PCB Materials • The out-of-service date must be marked on the “Special Waste” label. If items are collected in a container, the earliest out-ofservice date applies. • Capacitors and ballasts may only be stored at the SAA for up to 30 days from the date of removal from service. • Chemical Waste Pickup Request Form must be completed promptly. 78

Mandatory Requirements for PCB Materials included in handout • Leaky capacitors and ballasts - containerized and separated from non-leaky capacitors. • Containers shall be in good condition and labeled • Use only non-regulated metal to short out your capacitors 79

Mandatory Requirements – PCB Mat’ls • Hi-Bay/X-Gallery SAA is for approved, nonradioactive PCB capacitors and ballasts only. • Generators should notify the waste coordinator prior to placing any PCB waste at this location to ensure that the waste is being processed promptly. 80

PCB COLLECTION SITE X/GAL 81

SPECIAL WASTE LABELS ASBESTOS WASTE • The contractor is responsible for labeling ACM (pre-printed marked bags or containers). • The WC is responsible for affixing a “Special Waste” label to the waste. 82

SPECIAL WASTE LABEL THE ACCUMULATION START DATE BEGINS AT THE TIME OF WASTE ACCUMUATION 83

Absorbed Waste from Cleanups oil/glycol Trashable: Usually involves non -contaminated absorbent materials (wipes, rags, pads) from non-PCB oil or glycol cleanups Rule of thumb: ≤ 1 ft 3/dumpster and waste should be double bagged. Large liquid spills – Used Oil or Special Waste 84

WHAT IS COLD SOLVENT CLEANING? (Cleaning electronic components and wipe cleaning aren’t included) Process of cleaning and removing grease, wax and other impurities from metal and other parts and keeping the solvent below its boiling point (BP). If it exceeds its BP it is vapor degreasing and requires a permit. Also referred to as degreasing or parts washing 85

Cold Solvent Cleaning 1. Degreasers must remain closed when parts aren’t handled (prevent evaporation and ground level ozone (smog) 2. Cleaned parts must be drained inside the degreaser until drip free. 3. Waste solvent shall be stored in a covered container. 86

Cold Cleaning Dept Heads should notify the EO whenever: • New potential air emission sources are introduced • Modifications to your operations that increases the amount of air contaminants being released 87

Cold Cleaning More Information : • ADSP-08 -0501, AIR EMISSION SOURCE PROGRAM 88

7. USED OILS • All transformer oils (Shell Diala) and petroleum based oils > 5 gallons are tested for halogens (i. e. , PCBs, CFCs (freons) 89

USED OIL CONTINUATION • If oil is contaminated, then another sample is taken and analyzed off-site • Also there is a storage limitation of no more than 3 days for contaminated oil (i. e. , freon) to be stored at a SAA. • Greater than 55 gallons of oil must be relocated to the lab’s permitted facility (Site 55) 90

USED OIL CONTINUATION Oils contaminated with PCB and CFC can’t be recycled. DON’T use the same chemical funnel to transfer oils 91

USED OIL 89

8. USED OIL FILTERS non-radioactive • NON-REGULATED WASTE and can’t be disposed of as regular trash. • Must be stored in a covered and sealed container for disposal. 93

UNIVERSAL WASTE MERCURY DEVICES 40 CFR 273. 4 Thermostats, thermometers, barometers, switches • Pack mercury devices in rigid, sealable containers with packing materials i. e. , bubble wrap or other adequate materials to prevent breakage • Store mercury devices in an inside, dry area not exposed to weather; • Mark container with a “Universal Waste Mercury Containing Equipment” label 107

Universal (Hg devices) 108

12. UNKNOWNS Chemicals should always be identified and labeled properly Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. 109

UNKNOWN WASTE (abandoned) • Creates serious concerns, problems and extra costs (sampling and analysis). • Usually lacks the initial and necessary information to properly characterize the waste. • Difficult to handle and store 110

WHAT CAN YOU DO? 1. Check w/others in the location to see if they may have any process knowledge of the waste or it’s origin 2. Look for written records, check the container for any legible markings (bar codes manufr/stock #s) on lid/bottom of container 3. Check to see if the material looks like another material already in use 111

WHAT CAN YOU DO? • Contact the AD/Waste Coordinator. • He/She will give you a form (Unknown Material Request Form) to complete • Attach the completed form to a completed “Chemical Waste Pickup Request Form” and submit both forms to the WC for review and approval. 112

UNKNOWN MATERIAL REQUEST FORM • • • Requestor: ______________________ Phone #: ___________ Location of Material (Bldg/Room/Cabinet #) _____________________ Description of Container (size) ______________ (type) ___________ 1. General Description of the Material (aqueous, color, p. H) • • • • a) circle one: solid/ liquid/ oil/ multi-phase (describe) b) c) d) describe the material color: e) f) describe the material texture: Document p. H results, only if it can be easily obtained. Is there a distinct odor? Note: If the smell is not very obvious, then don’t sniff the material. Does the waste resemble another product normally used in the area that the unknown was found? 2. PERSONNEL SURVEY: Describe the actions that you’ve taken to identify the waste (e. g. , discussions with building and area managers, co-workers and contractors in the work area). AD/ESH Dept. 113

DON’T LET YOUR WASTE BECOME A STRANGER ! WAYS TO PREVENT UNKNOWNS • Label all containers (i. e. , product and waste containers). • Don’t remove or cover the manufacturer’s label. • Keep track of the expiration dates on materials and • Use materials that are about to expire first. • Only order what is necessary to do the task to prevent unnecessary chemical waste. 114

Ways to Prevent Unknowns • Get rid of chemicals you don’t want or plan on using in the future. • Secure loose and deteriorating labels on containers • Complete a waste pickup form to ensure that waste does not have a chance to remain in a work area and be forgotten. 115

UNKNOWN (catastrophic event) • If you find any unlabeled chemical that has crystallized or there is any other indication that it may be unstable, DO NOT TOUCH IT! • Contact the WC or AD/ES&H Department ASAP 116

Labels Available 117

12. EMPTY CONTAINERS 40 CFR 261. 7 A container is considered empty when all materials have been removed, using common practices e. g. , pouring, pumping, aspirating 118

EMPTY CONTAINERS all metal cans > 5 gallons • Complete a waste form and check Non-Regulated category on the form • Label the container with an “EMPTY” label. Note: Containers that once contained a “P-listed” waste shall be disposed of as a “Hazardous Waste” 119

Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA) • Label waste containers @ the time of accumulation • Containers shall be compatible with the waste/chemical (preferred manufacturer’s container) • Ensure chemical compatibility with other nearby waste (MSDS) 121

Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA) • Inspect containers for corrosion, leaks and deterioration • Containers shall remain closed, unless adding or removing waste • Hazardous waste must remain @ SAA 122

Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA) • Use secondary containment when storing hazardous waste near or with products. • Hazardous waste shall never exceed 55 gallons or 1 qt of P-listed waste @ the SAA 123

Common Mistakes @ SAA (delay pickup) • Unable to locate item • SAA isn’t accessible • Containers should be clean & free of liquid residue on lids and side surfaces 124

Common Mistakes @ SAA (delay pickup) • Incomplete or improperly labeled item(s) • Containers without tight fitting lids or closures • Information on label is defaced Use a Sharpie permanent black marker, other colors will fade due to sunlight and weather conditions 125

Common Mistakes @ SAA (delay pickup) • Integrity of the waste container is poor (corroded, not road worthy, leaky, etc) • Containers aren’t protected outdoors (i. e. , no lid covers, conditions too cold for outdoor storage, snowbound 126

D R U M CA P ACITY (problem @ SAA) • Drum is too full. Drums can hold more than 55 gallons. Extra space allows liquids to expand in the container due to temperature. • Rule of thumb - maintain at least 3” of headspace in waste container. Bulging containers present a safety hazard for others who handle them 127
