1 <br />damaging any containers. Such operations will be <br />carried out only by an experienced fork-lift operator <br />under the supervision of the operations supervisor. <br />Container unloading and incompatible waste precautions <br />' are discussed in Section 3.20 and 3.30. <br />9.20 <br />n <br />1 <br />E. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />All incoming drums of hazardous waste will be visually <br />inspected upon receipt for general container condition. <br />In the event a container is noted to be leaking or is <br />corroded or rusted, the contents will be immediately <br />transferred to an authorized DOT container. A supply <br />of empty new or reconditioned appropriate specification <br />drums will be maintained on site for this purpose. <br />Drum transfer will be accomplished using a spark -proof <br />portable, hand -operated drum pump. Both the inc <br />min <br />and the new drum will be grounded during any transfer operations involving ignitahles using copper grounding <br />cable. <br />All drums used for waste shipment off site will be <br />either new, reused, or reconditioned containers which <br />are in good condition. During all transfer and storage <br />operations, all containers of hazardous waste will be <br />maintained securely closed; that is, all bungs and/or <br />head covers will be securely in place. Containers <br />during staging will not be opened, except for the <br />Purpose of obtaining samples in accordance with the <br />waste analysis plan. <br />Movement of containers in storage will be maintained at <br />a minimum. Generally, container movement will occur <br />when the waste is initially received, and again when it <br />is shipped off site. A minimum amount of intermittent <br />drum movement may occur within the containment areas <br />for consolidation purposes. <br />Power and Equipment Failure. <br />9.21 Power Failure. wastes are pumped into the <br />treatment system and from one treatment step to the <br />next. Liquid inorganic wastes are also pumped to <br />storage tanks. In the event of power failure, all <br />waste flow stops and no overflow is possible. Power <br />failure during storage and treatment would result in <br />the following: <br />(a) Tank agitators would stop. <br />(b) Electrically operated pumps would stop. <br />(c) Air -driven pumps would stop when air supply was <br />depleted. <br />(d) Lights would go out. <br />37. <br />
