   The following management practices apply to the SAAs in use at Florida Tech. An SAA must be at or near the point of waste generation and under the control of the operator of the process generating the waste.

   • Up to 55 gallons of hazardous waste and up to one quart of acutely hazardous waste can be accumulated at each SAA.
   • There is no limit on the duration that a container can utilized in an SAA.
   • While in the accumulation area, the containers must be kept closed except when adding or removing waste.
   • The containers must be in good condition, no evidence of leaks, spills, or deterioration and must be compatible with contents.
   • Hazardous waste containers should be stored in secondary containment.
   • Hazardous waste containers managed in the SAAs must be labeled with the words "Hazardous Waste," applicable hazards, and words that identify the contents specific for each waste stream.

Purpose

In accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 265 Subpart D, State of Florida Hazardous Waste Regulations Section 62-730.180(2), Florida Administrative Code (FAC) and 29 CFR 1910.38 the following plan will be used in the event of an emergency. The purpose of the Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan is three-fold:

1. To act as a guide during actual emergency situations.
2. To minimize hazards to human health and the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to the air, soils, or surface water; and
3. To familiarize local emergency response personnel (i.e. police, fire, and rescue departments, hospital and governmental personnel) with the types of material handled and internal emergency response procedures.

The provisions of this plan will be carried out immediately whenever there is a fire, explosion, and release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents which could threaten human health or the environment (air, soil, surface water). This plan is also intended to describe the actions university personnel must take to minimize hazards to human health or the environment in the event of fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous wastes.

Emergency Coordinators

The following Florida Tech employees must be notified in case of a fire, explosion, or any sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents:

3. The Emergency Coordinator will complete the written incident reports for the regulatory agencies referred to in Section 9.

Evacuation Plan

Evacuation of Florida Institute of Technology Personnel and Students

All emergencies require prompt and deliberate action. The Emergency Coordinator or his/her alternate is responsible for determining which emergency situations require university evacuation. Only the Emergency Coordinator or his/her alternate indicates total university evacuation by voice command.

In the event the Emergency Coordinator or his/her alternate calls for a university evacuation the following actions will be taken:

1. Inform all employees and students to evacuate the effected building(s) by fire alarm, university’s emergency notification system where warnings are issued by text, email, verbal instructions, posted notices, shorinji-kempo.net website, social media (Facebook, Twitter) Local TV and Radio Stations.
2. All personnel, students, visitors, and contractors will immediately leave the campus area using emergency exits.
3. No persons shall remain or re-enter the location unless specifically authorized by the person(s) calling for evacuation. In allowing this, the person in charge assumes responsibility for those persons within the perimeter.
4. Once outside the building, employees and students are to report to the . If the nature of the emergency or the activities of emergency responders make this impractical or unsafe, the Emergency Coordinator or his/her alternate may direct evacuees to an alternate rally point.
5. Managers/Departmental Assistants will take a head count to determine if there are any missing employees.
6. Managers/Departmental Assistants/Resident Assistants will take a head count to determine if there are any missing students.
7. Contractors will be accounted for by the individuals they are working for at the rally point.
8. No attempt to find persons not accounted for will involve endangering lives of others by re-entry into emergency areas; and
9. Re-entry into the area will be made only after the Emergency Coordinator or his/her alternate gives clearance. At his/her discretion, an "All Clear" signal will be given for re-entry into the university building(s).
10. Visitors will be the responsibility of those employees/students they are seeing. Contractors are the responsibility of those persons administering the individual contracts.

Off-Site Notification/Evacuation Procedure

To notify the neighboring properties in an emergency, Florida Tech will contact the City of Melbourne Fire Department (phone number: 911). If necessary, an evacuation of the neighboring properties will be done by the City of Melbourne Police Department under the direction of the City of Melbourne Fire Department.

Shut-down of Operations

In the event of an emergency, the following critical operations may need to be shutdown before or during evacuation of the University. The Emergency Coordinator or Alternate will make judgments regarding the safety and need for these actions.

1. Boilers within a building.
2. Electricity Main for the building.
3. Water Main for the building.
4. Natural Gas Main for the building.
5. Nitrogen Main for the building.
6. Other propane tanks and fuel sources.

Control Procedures

Fire and/or Explosion Control Procedures

The < 90-day hazardous waste container storage areas can be easily accessed by fire fighting and other emergency vehicles and equipment. If a fire breaks out, concentration will be placed on contacting local fire fighting officials (see Emergency Response Procedures diagram) and the orderly evacuation of the affected area(s).

The following actions will be taken in the areas affected by a fire or explosion:

1. The fire department will be called by dialing 911. Be prepared to give name, location of fire, possible chemicals involved, and approximate quantity.
2. The area will be cleared of all personnel and/or students. These persons are to report to the designated rally point for accountability.
3. All injured persons will be removed and qualified personnel will administer medical treatment.

University personnel may only extinguish minor incipient fires (e.g. fires contained in waste paper baskets).

Spill or Release Control Procedures

For all spills or leaks, the following guidelines will be followed as closely as possible:

1. 1. If a leak or spill of chemicals or oil develops, the person discovering the discharge will leave the immediate area and contact the Emergency Coordinator or Alternate. The following information will be collected by the Emergency Coordinator or Alternate:
   • Person(s) injured and seriousness of injury.
   • Location of the spill or leak, material involved, and source.
   • The approximate amount spilled, an estimate of the liquid and/or gas discharge rate, and the direction the liquid flow or gaseous cloud is moving.
   • Whether a fire is involved.

2. For chemical, oil and/or hazardous waste spills the Emergency Coordinator or Alternate will use the following procedure:

   • Initiate evacuation of the hazard area and shutdown all equipment. Evacuation procedures are contained in Section 6 and 7. For small spills or leaks isolate at least twenty-five (25) feet in all directions. For large spills, initially isolate at least fifty (50) feet in all directions and keep all personnel upwind of spill.
   • Call the ambulance service for any injured persons.
   • Call the fire department (911) if a fire is involved. Note that fire emergencies generally supersede spill emergencies (see Fire Control Procedures, Section 8).

     IF A HISSING SOUND COMES FROM A VENTING DEVICE OR IF A DRUM BEGINS TO DISCOLOR, WITHDRAW FROM THE AREA IMMEDIATELY.

   • Determine if the spill can be absorbed, neutralized, or otherwise controlled at the time of release without involving employee exposure or reasonable possibility for employee exposure to safety or health hazards. If there is no reasonable possibility for employee exposure to safety or health hazards, then the procedure in 3 below can be used.
   • If a spill poses a safety or health hazard and therefore cannot be cleaned-up by Florida Tech personnel, contact a licensed commercial emergency cleanup firm.
   • Contact the proper authorities to report the spill or release. Contact local authorities first so that, if necessary, downstream water users and/or persons downwind of the vapor can be notified and, if necessary, evacuated. Additional reporting requirements are contained in Section 8 and 9.
3. If the spill is incidental and can be absorbed, neutralized or otherwise controlled at the time or release by employees in the immediate release area or by maintenance personnel and does not pose an adverse physical or health hazard to employees, then the spill will be handled in the following manner:
   • Make sure all unnecessary persons are removed from the hazard area.
   • Remove all surrounding materials that could be especially reactive with the materials in the spilled waste/chemical/oil.
   • Use absorbent pads, booms, earth, sandbags, sand, and other inert materials to contain, divert, neutralize a clean up a spill if it has not been contained by a dike or sump.
   • Procedure to follow for leaking drum:
     • Move drum into or construct containment area or over-pack drum;
     • Roll drum or stand up on end away from leak;
     • Drain contents (transfer to clean drum);
     • Label drum accordingly;
     • Absorb spillage or leakage with absorbent;
     • Transfer absorbent waste to drum, label accordingly; and
     • Store until final disposal
   • Place all containment and cleanup materials in drums for proper disposal. Some items, such as absorbent rags or booms, may have to be cut up.
   • Place all recovered liquid wastes in drums for removal to an approved disposal site.
4. If the spill is too dangerous for university personnel.  University personnel may assist in handling incidental releases of hazardous waste that present no risk to personnel and can be cleaned up easily using readily available absorbent materials.  University personnel will not respond to spills or any other emergency incident that poses a safety or health hazard to personnel. An outside contractor will be contacted if a spill or any other emergency incident poses a safety or health hazard to college personnel.

   For incidents that require outside assistance, the Emergency Coordinator or Alternate will contact the City of Melbourne Fire Department (911) and/or a commercial cleanup firm:

   Clean Earth
   24 hour Hotline: (877) 577-2669

5. All emergency equipment used in the emergency will be returned to ready status prior to resumption of normal University operations in the affected area.

Disposal of Used Cleanup Material

All potentially contaminated material (i.e. clothing, gloves, disposable equipment, soil, absorbents) and decontamination liquids (decontamination wash water) must be managed according to the procedures listed below.

• Contain the cleanup material into a dedicated 55-gallon drum as soon as a spill is absorbed, but no later than the end of the day in which the spill occurred.
• The dedicated drum should be labeled with the words "FL REGULATED WASTE" and "WASTE CHEMICAL SOLID".
• Determine if the recovered spill residue is on the lists of P- or U- hazardous wastes (see 40 CFR 261.33).
• Conduct a characteristic hazardous waste determination on the cleanup material.
• The used cleanup material must then be disposed properly based on the outcome of the hazardous waste determination. If the material is identified as non-hazardous by analytical testing, the waste profile must be submitted to Brevard County Solid Waste Management Department for approval prior to disposal at the Central Disposal Facility, Cocoa. Alternately, the cleanup material may be disposed by properly licensed transporter and disposal facility.
• Shipping records for used materials that are transported off-site should be maintained in Florida Tech’s files.

Reporting of Emergency Hazardous Waste Incidents

Immediate Notifications

State Spill/Release Notification

Any oil or petroleum products, chemical liquid, chemical solid, liquid product, gaseous product or hazardous waste that is released above the reportable quantity which constitutes a spill and poses a potential threat to human health or the environment, must be immediately reported to the following:

Florida 24-hour State Watch Office — (800) 320-0519

CERCLA Spill/Release Notification

Consult the Safety Data Sheet of the released substance to determine if it is a CERCLA hazardous substance and, if it is, the 24-hour reportable quantity. If a CERCLA hazardous substance is spilled or released to the environment and the amount equal or exceeds its reportable quantity within a 24-hour period, it must be reported to the following agencies:

National Response Center — (800) 424-8802

Local Emergency Planning Committee — (407) 262-7772

Brevard County Emergency Management — (321) 637-6670

Follow-Up Reporting

State Spill/Response Reporting

Any spill or release that has been immediately reported to the Florida DEP Bureau of Emergency Response must be followed by a written report submitted to the FDEP Central District Office within seven (7) days. View a copy of the Florida spill reporting form.

Hazardous Waste Emergency Reporting

Within fifteen (15) days of an emergency involving hazardous waste that requires implementation of this Contingency Plan, Florida Tech will report the incident in writing to the Florida DEP Central District Office at the following contact address:

Florida Department of Environmental Protection
Central District
3319 Maquire Boulevard
Orlando, Florida 32803-3767
(407) 897-4100
DEP_CD@DEP.state.fl.us

If the EPA Regional Administrator was notified during or immediately after the emergency, Florida Institute of Technology will also provide a follow-up report to the following agency within fifteen (15) days:

The Regional Administrator
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 4
Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center (SNAFC)
61 Forsyth Street SW
Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8960
(800) 241-1754

Both the Florida DEP and the EPA reports must include at least the following informational items:

• Name, address and telephone number of the owner/operator.
• Name, address and telephone number of the college.
• Date, time and type of incident (e.g. fire, explosion).
• Where did the incident occur.
• How did the incident occur.
• Name and quantity of material(s) involved.
• What actions were taken to respond and contain the incident.
• The extent of the injuries, if any.
• An assessment of actual or potential hazards to human health or the environment, where applicable; and
• Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material that resulted from the incident.

Decontamination

Decontamination Procedures

Decontamination of personnel and equipment must be conducted to reduce or eliminate the transport of contaminants from the emergency area into other areas of the facility or out into the environment where unprotected personnel may be exposed.

University personnel may assist in decontamination that presents no risk to personnel.

University personnel will not assist in any decontamination activities that pose a safety or health hazard risk to personnel.

Decontamination methods for personnel will depend on the type of contaminants, protection level, and work assignment and operation location.

• If a contractor has to be called in, the contractor will be responsible for the decontamination of his or her own equipment.
• If an incident occurs where contamination levels are expected to be elevated, a more rigorous decontamination protocol may be necessary, such as a soap wash station along with appropriate rinsing.
• If oils or heavy contamination is encountered, then steam cleaning of work surfaces may be necessary.
• For small equipment (hand tools, analytical equipment), a wipe down with a soap spray should be sufficient. For heavy contamination, additional measures may be warranted.

Disposal Procedures

All discarded materials, waste materials, or other objects shall be handled in such a way as to avoid the potential for spreading contamination, creating a sanitary hazard, or causing litter to be left on site. All potentially contaminated material (i.e. clothing, gloves, disposable equipment, soil, absorbents) and decontamination liquids (decontamination wash water) must be managed according to the Control Procedures.

Preparedness and Prevention

Florida Tech must maintain the emergency equipment necessary to safeguard college personnel during a release of hazardous waste and for appropriate use to contain a release and prevent it from reaching or spreading further into the environment.

All equipment is inspected periodically by University Facilities personnel and is maintained to ensure it is present and fully functioning.

Table 5 lists the types of emergency equipment present at the University and describes its capabilities.
