Note: This requirement differs from the requirement listed in
4.2.6. The General requirement measure wind speed on
a five-minute average, PCB requirement is whenever
wind gusts exceed 35 miles per hour.
4.3.6 When PCB wastes have been managed at the shredder, annually,
wastewater and sludge samples shall be collected from the Northwest

conveyor at the direction of the Control Tower Operator.
Management and Disposal of LLRW,
11e.(2), and Mixed Waste
CL-LD-PR-020
Revision 15
Non-Proprietary Page 24 of 45
4.4.3.2 The Equipment Operator shall monitor material loaded
onto the conveyor to ensure non-shreddable or non-
conforming material, as defined in Section 3.3.9 is
removed.
4.4.4 End of Shift Shutdown:
4.4.4.1 The Control Tower Operator shall inform the Equipment
Operator to discontinue placing waste in the Hopper and
that the In-Feed Conveyor will shut down.
4.4.4.2 If possible, the Equipment Operator shall ensure all
material has traveled to the feed chute, that the conveyor is
free of any material, and shall inform the Control Tower
Operator that the In-Feed Conveyor is ready for shut down.
4.4.4.3 The Control Tower Operator shall follow the
manufacturer’s shut down directions.
4.4.4.4 If possible, the Control Tower Operator shall ensure the
Out-Feed conveyor is free of all managed material prior to
shut down.
4.4.4.5 The Control Tower Operator or designee shall perform an
end of shift visual inspection of the Shredder Facility and
perimeter fence in accordance with the GWQDP.
4.4.5 Post PCB Operational Requirements (Daily when PCB Operations occur)

following:
• All reports, including water injection monitoring
and temperature data monitoring are downloaded in
accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and
formatted to an excel spreadsheet.
• The reports shall be evaluated and managed in
accordance with sections 3.4 and 4.3 of this
procedure.
• The reports shall be available on the shared network
drive and forwarded to the Environmental Engineer
daily after PCB shredding operations.
4.4.6 Prior to changing the Shredder Facility from PCB Management to General
Waste Management, perform the following:
4.4.6.1 Collect samples if accumulated volumes of water and
sludge in the sumps allow for sampling. Consult with the
Environmental Engineer for detailed sampling
requirements.
Management and Disposal of LLRW,
11e.(2), and Mixed Waste
CL-LD-PR-020
Revision 15
Non-Proprietary Page 25 of 45
Note: Prior to removing water from the
collection tanks, the water will be
sampled and analyzed for PCB content.
Note: If PCB concentrations exceed five-tenths
of a microgram per cubic liter, the water
shall remain in the storage tank until an
action plan can be approved by the
Environmental Engineer.
4.4.6.2 Ensure catch basins, sumps, manholes, and the shredder
pad surfaces are cleaned of bulk PCB material to a limit of
500 grams per square foot average, with a maximum limit
of 100 lbs.
4.4.6.3 Remove or cover the “PCB Waste Management” sign at the
southwest corner of the facility.
4.5 Disposal of HPTC Material
4.5.1 Upon notification of HPTC arrival in accordance with Reference 2.25,

with section 4.1.10 of this procedure.
4.5.3 HPTC containers shall be staged on the lift chosen for final disposal.
4.5.4 If the container lid cannot be removed without disrupting the container
contents, the container lid latching devices shall be removed by hand as an
effort to prevent abrupt handling characteristic of opening some containers
by way of mechanical assistance.
Note: For example: B-25 lids with metal clips can be carefully
removed using an excavator, however; drum rings and
B-25’s with bolted lids will require the use of hand tools
to carefully remove the lid.
4.5.5 Container contents will be carefully removed in such a way that the
material can be properly dispersed on the lift with minimal effort and
contact with construction equipment. Equipment operators shall avoid
forceful handling of containers as an unloading method consequently
minimizing friction and potential for sparking or combustion.
4.5.6 After the HPTC material has been properly dispersed it shall immediately
be covered with an approved fill material prior to the end of the shift.
Management and Disposal of LLRW,
11e.(2), and Mixed Waste
CL-LD-PR-020
Revision 15
Non-Proprietary Page 26 of 45
4.5.7 The risk for combustion is significantly reduced when all HPTC material
is covered. The fire watch may leave the area immediately following the
completion of the fill material.
4.6 Asbestos Disposal
4.6.1 Asbestos containing material must be properly identified and labeled by
the receiving department before such waste shall be accepted for disposal.
4.6.2 Asbestos containing material which is stockpiled or placed in temporary
storage shall either remain in the original packaging or shall be covered
with non-asbestos containing material. Alternative Daily Cover shall not
be used to cover exposed asbestos containing (torn bags, or exposed bulk
material) material that has been stockpiled or placed in temporary storage.
Note: Alternative Daily Cover can be used to cover bagged
asbestos containing waste in stockpiles or directly on a
lift. Bagged asbestos containing waste covered with
Alternative Daily Cover shall not be compacted until it
has been completely covered with soil or other non-
asbestos containing material.
4.6.3 Damaged containers or other inadequately containerized asbestos
containing material shall be identified by the receiving department and the
Disposal Supervisor shall be notified in writing of the damage or
inadequate containment.
4.6.4 If the receiving department accepts damaged or inadequate containment,
authorized Facility Operator(s) shall be instructed to spray the asbestos
containing material either with water or alternative cover in quantities to
sufficiently wet the material and eliminate the possibility of generating
airborne asbestos. If possible, employees shall contact the Industrial
Hygienist prior to working to determine proper PPE and sampling
requirements.
• Spill clean-up activities for asbestos containing material shall be
conducted using wet methods. If wet methods or HEPA vacuuming
are deemed impractical then clean-up may be conducted with dry
sweep methods.
• All surfaces shall be maintained as free as practical of asbestos
containing waste and debris and any spilled material shall be
cleaned up as soon as possible.
• Any exposed asbestos containing material shall be covered with
alternative cover and/or water during handling, transport, and cell
placement to eliminate the possibility of airborne contamination.
4.6.5 When an open or damaged bag or other containment device is discovered
inside an intermodal container, the intermodal container shall be sprayed
with water or alternative cover and if possible, the Industrial Hygienist
Management and Disposal of LLRW,
11e.(2), and Mixed Waste
CL-LD-PR-020
Revision 15
Non-Proprietary Page 27 of 45
shall be contacted to determine proper sampling and PPE requirements as
required in the RWP.
4.6.6 Asbestos containing material must be transported to and placed in a cell
for disposal and covered with either six inches of non-asbestos containing
material or with an adequate layer of alternative cover before the end of
the work shift.
• Alternate cover shall not be used as fill material.
• Alternate cover may be used to prevent airborne contamination of
asbestos containing material that has been placed in an active lift
area of a disposal cell provided that daily inspections verify that
the asbestos containing material is adequately covered.
• Alternate cover shall only be used as a treatment to prevent
airborne contamination of asbestos and shall not be a permanent
disposal option.
4.7 Ion Exchange Resin (IER) Blending and Disposal
4.7.1 Disposal with CLSM
4.7.1.1 Ten percent of all IER containers that will be disposed in a
CLSM lift area shall be tested for free liquids prior to
placement in a CLSM pour. This is measured per CLSM
lift: for example, if 10 containers of IER are to be placed in
a particular CLSM pour, at least 1 of these containers shall
have a free liquid inspection.
4.7.1.2 This inspection is performed by operations personnel.
Operations will provide container information to Quality
Control. The container information will be documented on
the CLSM lift approval.
4.7.1.3 Headspace voids shall be filled in accordance with section
4.7.3 of this procedure.
4.7.1.4 A Quality Control Technician shall inspect and verify that
the IER containers are placed and disposed in accordance
