TECHNICAL PROPOSAL-
HHW COLLECTION EVENT

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL FOR
HHW COLLECTION EVENT
CITY OF BOZEMAN, MT
1.0 SERVICES REQUIRED
Set Up
A specific site set-up plan for the event will be finalized upon award of this contract during a pre-
project discussion meeting. This plan will be based on the following:
. Weather Conditions
. Anticipated Participation
. Community and Volunteer Participation
. Site Conditions (i.e., ground surface and public access routes)
ONYX will arrive at the designated project site either the evening before or the morning of the
scheduled day of collection approximately two hours prior to the start time of collection and
implement the following:
0 Place appropriate plastic underneath all areas where waste will be managed freely
(i.e., hot zone/segregation, packaging, and bulking areas).
[I Ensure that all operations (bulking, segregation, classification, packaging, etc.) will
take place within the segregation/hot zone area by marking these areas with warning
tapelbaniers.
0 Control access to the receiving areas by requiring all participants to remain in their
vehicles at all times.
0 Ensure that the packaging area will contain all materials and equipment necessary to
carry out the specified operation, i.e., absorbent, drums, tools, tables, safety
equipment, etc.
Volunteers
ONYX highly encourages the use of volunteers on household hazardous waste programs.
Community support and involvement in environmental programs such as households is the success
to having a cleaner and healthier world to live in. Typically, volunteers are used to greet
participants, direct traffic, conduct surveys, and help unload vehicles (if mutually agreed upon
between the hazardous waste coordinator and the sponsoring agency). They also help shuttle non-
hazardous waste to receiving tables, and then also help with project clean up activities (tearing down
tents, picking up trash, etc.). For safety and regulatory reasons, all hazardous waste must and will
be managed by ONYX personnel or 40 hour OSHA trained volunteers.
ONYX proposes the following staffing plan for volunteers at each of these events:
. Greeters set up at 1-3 stations for resident verification, completion of surveys, etc. - 2-3
people
. Traffic Directors to ensure traffic flows smoothly ~ 1-2 people
. Vehicle Unloaders and Waste Shuttlers to aid ONYX ~ 1-2 people
. Project Cleanup - same people volunteering for the day
Unloadinl!
ONYX proposes to utilize cones or other markers to direct traffic through the completed drop off
routes as agreed to by both parties during the pre-project meetings. Strategic placement of signs,
cones, barricades, etc. will assist the participants in staying as far away as possible from the "hot
zone" and working areas. In the event of an overflow of traffic causing congestion onto a street
entering or exiting a collection site, a pre-assigned representative may implement any traffic
contingencies previously agreed upon at the pre-project meetings.
Prior to unloading, ONYX personnel will scan the material for acceptance. Once it is deemed
acceptable, the material (container) will be removed from the participants' vehicle. ONYX
respectfully requests that ALL HAZARDOUS materials ONLY are managed by ONYX OR 40
hour trained personnel as a safety precaution. Although the participants have been handling this
waste in their own home, an accidental drop or spill could cause serious injury if not handled
correctly. Waste that cannot be accepted will not be removed from the vehicle. If there is any
question at all, ONYX's Project Manager will discuss the material in question with an authorized
City representative prior to acceptance.
Participants will be instructed to remain in their vehicles at all times. Once a participant's waste is
accepted, the waste will be shuttled to the packaging/segregation area via boxes, sturdy plastic
containers, shopping carts, or other miscellaneous small containers/carts.
Acceptable Materials
The following is a list of acceptable materials in order of DOT priority sequencing:
I) Division 2.1 - Flammable Gases/Aerosol Cans (i.e., spray paint, WD-40, some
cleaners and furniture polishes, hair spray, propane cylinders and tanks)
2) Division 2.2 - Non-Flammable Gases (i.e., oven cleaners, some window cleaners,
freon)
3) Division 6.1 - Poisonous Liquids by Inhalation (not expected in household wastes
but approved to accept)
4) Division 4.1 - Flammable Solids or Self Reactive Chemicals (not expected in
household wastes but approved to accept)
5) Class 3 - Flammable LiquidslFue1s Waste (i.e., oil based paints, solvents, paint
thinners, gasoline, kerosene, robber cement))
6) Class 8 - Corrosive Materials (i.e., cleaners such as bleach, swimming pool
chemicals, disinfectants, drain openers, photographic chemicals)
7) Division 4.2 - Spontaneously Combustible Materials (i.e., charcoal briquettes)
8) Division 4.3 - Dangerous When Wet (i.e., metal powders such as lead powder)
9) Division 5.1 - Oxidizers (i.e., some fertilizers, cleaners with potassium dichromate
in them)
10) Division 5.2 - Organic Peroxides (i.e., some lubricants containing benzyl peroxide)
11) Division 6.1 - Poisonous Liquids or Solids (i.e., herbicides, pesticides,jleapowders,
insecticides, some laundry products, some latex paints, rat poison, weed killers)
12) Combustible Liquids - (i.e., camp fuel oil or miscellaneous contaminated oils)
13) Class 9 and Non-Regulated Materials - Miscellaneous Waste (i.e., antifreeze, latex
paint, glue.s~ oil filter.s)
Other acceptable materials include antifreeze, oil, batteries, car waxes, and wood
preservatives, pet care products, medication, hobby supplies, degreasers, etc.
Unacceptable Materials
The following is a list of unacceptable materials for "typical" household events:
1) Radioactive Chemicals (i.e., smoke detectors)
2) Biological Waste (i.e., infectious waste, blood contaminated items, syringes/needles)
3) Explosives (i.e.,firework5~ ammunition, crystallized ether::,)
4) Mercury (i. e., thermometers)
5) Fire Extinguishers and Some Compressed Gas Cylinders (possible butane cylinders
or other gases are usually not accepted unless agreed upon prior to the event)
6) Commercial Waste (i.e., paint and window contractors or any operation qf a
commercial busines.s)
It is ONYX's understanding that the City of Bozeman does not intend to accept the following
materials: used motor oil, latex paints, antifreeze, explosives, PCBs, radioactive and bio-hazardous
materials. ONYX would also recommend adding batteries to this list, due to the large number of
battery recyclers available.
Manal!ement of Unknowns and Unacceptable Waste
Identification of unacceptable materials in all publicity for the collection program will reduce or
eliminate the amount of unacceptable materials brought to the site. Also, prior to unloading
materials from participants' vehicles, ONYX personnel scan the material for the above categories.
If they are encountered, the material is not removed from the vehicle.
ONYX is capable of accepting item numbers 2,4, and 6 as well as some 5's (from the unacceptable
list) with the permission ofthe sponsoring agency. Some of the pricing for these items is listed on
the price sheet in the pricing proposal, but other items will be priced case-by-case as cylinders are
priced based off of their size and contents. As for the other items, ONYX suggests checking with
the fire department on acceptance of the explosives for later bomb squad management. ONYX
could also provide a detailed estimate to perform a "remote opening" and stabilization of this waste
after the event is completed, on a separate project day. In regards to the radioactive waste, ONYX
can only provide a referral to eventually manage this waste for the City: EMCI located in Turlock,
CA at 209-667-1102, as we are not permitted to handle radioactive waste. Biological waste can be
managed via ONYX as a "lO-day" storage/transfer through Henderson with ultimate shipment to
Stericycle located in North Salt Lake, Utah. Any waste received falling under numbers 1 or 3 will
have to be stored at the project site until the appropriate management of this waste can be arranged.
Identification of Unknown Wastes
All containers that are received without a label will be determined to be "unknown". Those
containers with "hand written" labels or odd types of containers will be partially screened for
verification (i.e., a container marked "gasoline" will be tested in the field to confirm ignitability, a
container marked "hydrochloric acid" will be pH'd to confirm the acidity, etc.). ONYX will have a
work area set up on one of the tables to hazcat all unknowns prior to packaging these chemicals to
ensure compatibility and proper classification ofthe waste.
The following is a description of ONYX'S Standard Operating Procedure that is used to identity-
unknowns:
l. ONYX personnel will segregate all unknowns for removal to the identification/testing area
at the collection site. Waste containers will be classified as "unknowns" whenever there is
reasonable doubt as to the contents of the waste. Doubt may be due to illegible or hand
written labels, missing, or apparently incorrect labels, or in the case of trade name
chemicals, hazardous constituents or ingredients fail to appear on the label. ONYX will first
make every attempt to identify the waste without opening the container. This will involve
questioning the participant who dropped off the waste if possible.
2. If the waste cannot be identified using the procedure described above, the "unknown" must
be fingerprinted to determine if any hazardous characteristics (DOOl, D002, or D003) are
present so that a hazard class and shipping description may be designated. All materials
designated as "unknowns" will be packaged for destructive incineration once the hazard
class is determined.
3. ONYX personnel will perform chemical and physical tests to determine the hazard
classification of the waste. All personnel involved in the testing of unknowns will be
outfitted with the proper personal protective equipment. This equipment will include, at a
minimum, chemically resistant tyvek suits, steel toe/metatarsal boots, safety glasses and
chemically resistant gloves, full-face air purity-ing respirators and chemical cartridges.
4. The following tests will be used to determine the hazard class of unknown wastes:
a. Identification/Observation of the Material
b. Flash Point
c. pH
d. Water Reactivity & Solubility
e. Oxidizer Screen
f Organic Peroxide Screen
g. Cyanide Screen
h. Sulfide Screen
5. The procedure to perform the above listed tests is as follows:
a. Physical Identification/Observation of the Material
ONYX'S Project Manager will note whether the material is a liquid, solid, gaseous,
semi-solid, or multiple phase waste, and note any unusual observations in color
(which might indicate the presence of metals). The containers, at this point, are
looked at closely to note if any crystals have formed in the bottle or around the cap,
as this could be an indication of peroxide formation
b. Flash Point
A 20-ml sample will be placed into an aluminum sample pan and exposed to a flame
(via a hand torch). If the sample ignites upon exposure, it will be classified as
Flammable. If the sample ignites after one second of exposure, it will be classified
as Combustible. Any sample that does not ignite after two seconds will be classified
as non-flammable/combustible.
c. Iili
A 20-mV20 gram sample of the unknown will be placed into a plastic/aluminum
sample pan. If the unknown is a solid, 5-ml of water will be added. A pH test paper
strip will be dipped in the waste and the resulting color change compared to the
indicator scale. If the pH ofthe waste is determined to be 2 or less, the waste will be
classified as an acid. If the pH is 12.5 or greater, the waste will be classified as an
alkaline.
d. Water Reactivity & Solubility
A 20-ml/20 gram sample will be placed in an aluminum sample pan and to it will be
added 5 ml of water. Solubility will be determined upon visual inspection. If the
mixture exhibits any of the following properties, it will be classified as Water
Reactive:
(1) Heat generation
(2) Gas generation
(3) Internal pressure through expansion, or
(4) Ignition
e. Oxidizer Screen
A 20-ml/20 gram sample will be placed in a plastic/aluminum sample pan. If the
sample is a solid, to it will be added 5 ml of water. A Potassium Iodide/Starch
Iodide test strip will be dipped in the waste and any color change observed. If the
strip changes to purple, the waste will be classified as an Oxidizer.
f. Organic Peroxide Screen
A 20-ml/20 gram sample will be placed in a plastic/aluminum sample pan. If the
sample is a solid, to it will be added 5 ml of water. An Organic Peroxide test strip
will be dipped in the waste and any color change observed. If the strip changes to
blue, blue/green, or darkish purple, the waste will be classified as Organic Peroxide.
g. Cyanide Screen
All unknown wastes with a pH equal to or greater than 8 will be
screened for cyanides. Three solutions will be prepared:
(1) 10% Sodium Hydroxide Solution
(2) 10% Ferrous Sulfate Solution
(3) 5% Ferric Chloride Solution
A 20-ml/20 gram sample will be placed in a plastic sample pan. To it will be added
10 mls of water, 10 mls of sodium hydroxide solution, 10 mls of ferrous sulfate
solution, and 10 mls of ferric chloride solution. Enough 90% sulfuric acid will then
be added until solution becomes acidic. If solution displays the distinctive Prussian
blue or green color, the sample contains cyanide and will be classified as a Toxic
Chemical. Note that if the above solutions are not available, cyantisemo paper can
be used in their place.
h. Sulfide Screen
All unknown wastes with a pH equal to or greater than 8 will be screened for
sulfides.
A 20-m1l20 gram sample of the waste will be placed into a plastic/aluminum test
pan. Wet a strip of lead acetate paper with water. 37% hydrochloric acid will be
added to the sample and a strip of wet lead acetate paper held into the fumes
generated by the reaction.
If the lead acetate paper turns brown or silvery black, sulfides are present and the
sample will be classified as a Poison B.
All information/results obtained from this fingerprinting will be recorded on the ONYX Fingerprint
Analysis Report. Unknown wastes will be labeled or stickered with a number, and this number will
be used to identifY that particular bottle with its test results. A copy of the Fingerprint Analysis
Report will be distributed to the Generator for his records, and a copy will accompany the drum
inventory to the disposal facility. All waste products produced from the testing procedures will be
consolidated into a drum for proper disposal.
Seereeation
ONYX will examine the collected wastes from the participants vehicles and segregate all
chemicals into their proper DOT hazard class (Flammable Liquid, Acidic, Basic, Non-Reg, etc.).
Typically, the waste will be placed on at least six (6) different tables under a protected area (i.e.,
tent) so that good segregation and distance is allowable reducing the risk of a chemical coming
into contact with a non-compatible chemical and possibly causing a reaction. Each table will
represent either the same hazard class (i.e., toxic solids and liquids) or compatible hazard classes
(i.e., Aerosol cans with flammable and non-reg liquids). This ensures that like wastes will be
packaged together.
The segregation and collection areas wilI be off limits to NON-40 hour trained personnel.
Controlled access will be maintained around this area via tape or markers. Within the segregation
and bulking area there will be the following safety equipment:
. Fire Extinguisher
. First Aid Kit
. Eyewash
Waste Packa2in2
Once all segregation and testing has been completed, packaging will take place under the direction
of the Technical Coordinator. These people will wear (as a minimum) the following protective
items:
. Safety glasses,
. Steel-toed shoes,
. Latex or N-dex gloves,
. Paper tyvek suits, and
. Other protective clothing as specified in the health and safety plan.
The appropriate size of the container will be determined based on the total volume of waste to be
packaged. All packaging will be completed in accordance with TSDF guidelines, DOT regulations,
and most importantly in accordance with the compatibility of each hazard class.
Bulkin2lCommineline Procedures
ONYX realizes that cost is of the utmost importance to the City of Bozeman and will work with the
City in determining which items or chemicals are suitable, and more cost effective for bulking/co-
mingling into fifty-five (55) gallon sized drums. At a minimum, ONYX is proposing to bulk all
"good" flammable liquids. Other targeted wastes/materials for bulking on-site include non-regulated
liquids if a large volume is received and it's economically worth on-site bulking.
As for the paint, ONYX is proposing to package all cans/buckets into cubic yard boxes or pallets
(for 5-gallon cans), and ship this waste direct to the TSDF this way. Although there is a distinct
economic advantage for bulking flammables and solvents, paint waste does not need prior bulking
for acceptance purposes at our disposal facilities. In fact, it will be CHEAPER to the City if we
DON'T bulk on-site (less labor required) not to mention the added safety assurance and non-mess
and time that comes with on-site commingling of containers. These wastes will still be recycled
through a supplemental fuels program for cement kilns, but they won't require commingling prior to
shipment.
ONYX'S Standard Operating Procedures for bulking liquids on-site are as follows:
1) ONYX Field Analyst/Project Manager will determine the appropriate waste to be bulked (in
agreement with the sponsoring agency).
2) ONYX Project Manager, with the assistance of our Health and Safety Department, will
determine the appropriate PPE to be worn as detailed in the health and safety plan. At a
minimum, the following PPE will be worn:
. Full face respirator with organic vapor cartridges (unless a self contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) is determined to be required),
. Splash resistant suits (i.e., polytyvek, saran ex, rain suits),
. Neoprene, ANSI boots,
. Latex gloves and nitrile/neoprene overgloves, and
. Hard hat and splash shield (if required).
3) ONYX field crews will set up specialized equipment, tools, and supplies to include:
A) Non-Sparking Bung Wrench
B) Plastic Sheeting (Visqueen)
C) Funnels
D) Absorbent (Floordry)
E) Drums or Containers
F) Bonding and Grounding Cables
G) Miscellaneous Tools (screw drivers, paint can scrapers, etc.)
G) Emergency Equipment (eyewash, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, air horn)
4) ONYX Project Manager will Inspect the area where bulking will take place to:
A) Determine wind direction and weather conditions
B) Locate operational area - preferably outdoors
C) Determine drainage patterns
D) Unload equipment
E) Secure work area with barrier tape
5) ONYX field crews will refer to site specific contingency information.
6) ONYX'S Project Manager will insure chemical compatibility through reference materials or
review ofMSDS sheets.
7) ONYX'S Project Manager will bond and ground the drum in which the waste will be bulked
into.
8) ONYX field crews will begin bulking compatible materials and follow these procedures:
A) Clean up all spills immediately.
B) Close containers as soon as possible or when "standby" is occurring.
C) Do not overfill drums, check by carefully removing funnels and inspecting the level
visually, with a drum thief or other method. Note that at least four (4) inches will
remain between the top of the waste and the top of the drum to allow for expansion
of the contents that may occur with temperature changes. This is referred to as the
outage.
D) Seal the drum.
E) Dispose of the empty containers as per generator's instructions or into an empty roll-
off container located at the project site for trash.
9) Prepare the drum for transportation by properly marking and labeling the container, and
completing the appropriate paperwork.
10) Cleanup the work area.
Drum Sta2in2 or Loadinl! Area
An area will be designated for packaged, closed, and labeled drums/cubic yard boxes to be staged
prior to loading these onto the truck for transportation. Drums will be moved via a drum dolly or
fork lift and will be checked to ensure all labels and appropriate markings are on each container.
Cubic yard boxes will be moved on pallets supplied by ONYX via a forklift (if available) or a pallet
jack supplied by ONYX.
Drums and pallets will be loaded based on compatibility onto ONYX's vehicles via drum dollies,
pallet jacks, and a lift gate attached to the truck. The transportation vehicle will be appropriately
placarded in compliance with applicable DOT regulations.
Paoerwork
ONYX will execute all paperwork necessary to comply with all applicable regulations and ensure
acceptance of packaged waste at our disposal facilities. A drum inventory/packing list will be used
to record each drum's volume contents while packing (if necessary). Household hazardous wastes
are exempt from requiring the actual name of each product/material for all "generic" wastes. All
reactives will actually be inventoried as these wastes will require destructive incineration and do not
fall under a "generic" profile. All containers generated on-site will be manifested to the facility for
ultimate management and disposal; therefore reducing the liability of over-the-road travel associated
with hauling hazardous waste. This tracking document (i.e., manifest) will ensure complete "cradle-
to-grave" tracking.
Site Clean-up
Site clean-up will include bringing in all signs, cones, and banicades; picking up plastic and any
loose materials such as paper or trash; and removal of all equipment (roll-offs, port-o-Iets) and
excess supplies. The site will be cleaned up to pre-event conditions or better.
Transportation
ONYX dispatches fully licensed and permitted drivers specializing in full service equipment and
hauling units. For purposes of this project, twenty-eight and forty (28 and 40) foot-enclosed vans
will be used for the safe transport of hazardous wastes. All drivers will have A or B class license
with a hazardous waste "If' endorsement (DOT certified) and maintain a Green Medical card.
These cards are carried on our drivers at all times, so verification by the sponsoring agency is
available when the driver arrives at the job site.
ONYX will provide transportation of ALL waste associated with this event no later than June 5,
2002.
Final Report
At the conclusion of the event, ONYX will prepare a post event report. This report will outline and
summarize the total amount of waste received, number of participants, types of waste collected and
final disposal locations, and the overall description and success of how efficiently each event was
performed and what improvements could be made (if any) for future projects.
Also included will be inventory sheets, manifests, and related required papelWork.
2.0 DISPOSAL
Disposal Options:
In this section, we offer a detailed chart for the City of Bozeman's review and consideration as to
how ONYX proposes to manage the waste associated with this contract. We believe that with
the capability of providing these services in addition to excellent CUSTOMER SERVICE, the
City will be 100% satisfied with how ONYX proposes to manage this contract. The key thing to
remember, is that we are FLEXIBLE with the ultimate management and disposal of your waste.
If the City should choose to change treatment options (if it's feasible for that particular waste), or
how the waste is processed for disposal (bulking of paint versus direct shipment in cubic yard
boxes), ONYX is open to suggestions. Please consider the fact that we are only proposing how
we BELIEVE we can best service this contract.
The following disposal options summarize the details behind the technologies that we propose to
use.
A. RecyclingIReuse
Vivendi purchased Superior Services, Inc. in 1999, a fully-integrated solid waste services
company providing solid waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services to more than
800,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in 12 states. In addition, Superior has
25 company-owned or operated solid waste landfills, 59 solid waste collection operations, 29
transfer stations and 20 recycling facilities. Superior Service Inc. was incorporated in 1992 with
the consolidation of a group of 22 successful environmental and waste service companies.
The integration of ONYX and Superior Special Services (the recycling and hazardous waste
management division of Superior) offers a wider range of environmental services to offer our
customers, while providing synergy with sister companies. Together, the organization operates a
network of transportation, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) and branch field offices in
locations throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. This national coverage gives
our customers convenient access to a complete line of environmental services. Onyx North
America is now organized into 4 business lines with an executive officer assigned to each
specialty area:
. Superior Services (Solid Waste), Onyx Industries (Canadian Environmental Division)
. Onyx Environmental Services (HazJSpec. projects), Superior Specialty Services, Alaron
Corporation
. Onyx Industrial Services (Industrial cleaning)
. Montenay Power Corp. (WTE)
Superior Special Services (SSS) is a strategically focused recovery and waste management
organization which provides a variety of waste reduction and recycling services. SSS reducing,
recycling, and/or disposal services applicable to this contract include PCB lamp ballasts, and
mercury thermometers or mercury debris/waste that might be received.
ONYX utilizes third party approved facilities for the recycling of battery waste typically
received at Household events (i.e., lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, and sometimes
mercury batteries), as well as latex paint. Producers and users of mercury-bearing waste and
batteries are provided an improved and environmentally sound technique by which the metal is
reclaimed. Mercury lab waste, spill clean-up, thermometers, electrical devices, batteries,
powerpacks, dental amalgam, and fluorescent lamps are processed using patented technology.
Recovered elemental mercury is triple distilled to ACS standards and marketed or resold to
manufacturers and chemical suppliers as a 99.9% pure product.
ONYX understands that RECYCLING, REUSE, and ENERGY RECOVERY are the preferred
alternative to disposal for the City of Bozeman. Due to the large volume of paint waste received
at Household collection programs, ONYX is proposing to utilize these three treatment options as
the number one treatment technology for ALL paint waste and flammable liquids received under
this contract. The oil-based paint and solvents/flammable liquids will be reused as a fuels
supplement at a cement kiln explained in the next section.
B. Fuel Blending
Recovering the thermal potential of wastes can be an efficient, environmentally responsible
option for the hazardous waste needs you face. ONYX is the industry leader when it comes to
safe and efficient fuels-blending programs. Through our realignment with Chemical Waste
Management and Advanced Environmental Technical Services Incineration and Fuels Blending
operations, ONYX is better able to provide a full range of solvent recovery, and solid and liquid
fuels blending. ONYX can access fuels blending at facilities in Henderson, Colorado; and
MFR/Continental Cement in Hannibal, MO, or Systech Environmental Corporation in Fredonia,
KS to name a few. Some of the benefits generators receive from utilizing fuel blending are:
. Pre-treatment analysis that determines compatibility of your liquid wastes for cost-efficient
management.
. A proven network of high-temperature industrial furnaces and cement kilns, approved and
permitted for use of waste-derived fuels under stringent EP A environmental requirements,
for assured destruction of all hazardous wastes involved.
. A rigorous audit program by ONYX experts of all operations selected to use your wastes as
fuel, helping ensure that you are protected from liability now and in the future.
All "good" flammable liquid received at each Household Collection program as well as all oil
based paints (PCB free) will be processed for supplemental fuels at one of the cement kilns
mentioned in Part V.
c. Landfill
ONYX is deeply committed to not only developing better ways to service its customers, but also
to realizing that disposal of hazardous waste is expensive. If the EP A regulations allow for
secure landfill and our generators do not have a "precedence" for how their waste must be
managed, then secure subtitle "C" landfill is the option of choice. It's a safe, cheaper, and
compliant way of managing certain regulated and non-regulated hazardous wastes such as
Household Hazardous Wastes. ONYX only utilizes those landfill facilities that have been
audited, approved, and leaders in the landfill business.
D. Incineration
No other hazardous waste treatment can match the combination offered by high-temperature
incineration: efficient destruction of hazardous organic compounds and the capability to deal
with a wide variety of such wastes. The resulting incineration ash and other residue is stabilized
and placed in a permanent land disposal facility. High-temperature incineration offers the
following benefits:
. Assured destruction of the hazardous wastes you generate, at a cost-effective price.
. Access to the ONYX network of incineration facilities, strategically located across the U.S.
and fully permitted to meet all applicable regulations and requirements.
. The security of complete cradle-to-grave service, from collection and transportation of your
hazardous waste materials in ONYX and ONYX approved vehicles to the incineration
treatment facility.
. A full-range incineration system that includes both rotary kilns and fixed-hearth incineration
technology, providing you with the utmost in flexibility to handle your most difficult
hazardous wastes.
. The ability to handle bulk or drummed wastes, eliminating the expense of special containers
or special packaging of your wastes.
. In many areas, access to the efficiencies and cost savings of rail transportation.
All this and more ensures the generator of incineration services that can be custom matched to
the materials and specific needs they have, a level of specialized service that is unexcelled in the
waste industry.
Facilities
Environmental assessments are conducted annually at our TSDFs to ensure total facility
compliance with RCRA, TSCA, and Corporate Policy. Detailed programs document the manner
in which customer wastes are managed.
The objective of auditing TSDFs is to determine if the facility has implemented systems to
ensure full regulatory compliance:
. Compliance with operating permits and waste analysis plans
. Recordkeeping and reporting
. Waste receipt control
. Site Operations
We intend to utilize the capabilities of ONYX's Part B Permitted Facility located in Henderson,
Colorado and the Chemical Waste Management of the Northwest Landfill in Arlington, Oregon
for the waste that will be managed with this contract. These facilities are fully secured and
staffed 24/7 with guards on duty between business hours Monday through Friday and all day
Saturday and Sundays. In addition, they are equipped to store highly sensitive waste (i.e., waste
associated with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration), so protection and proper assurance
for correct management of hazardous waste is never a question. Due to our award of the U.S.
DEA contract that ONYX holds, we had to comply with a very secure memorandum of
understanding that addresses the detailed security plan in place in order for us to store waste
associated with illegal clandestine laboratories. ONYX is proud to say that we have always
passed the rigorous audits that the U.S. DEA conducts in addition to our many other audits
performed by EPA, DOT, and OSHA.
Once the waste is transported to our Henderson facility, it will either be stored via la-day
transfer or placed into temporary "interim" storage. Once approved and decisioned, the waste
will be transported to one of our final TSDF's proposed to be used with this contract. Please
refer to the table on the following page for a complete list of our proposed facilities.

The majority of expected waste to be received is paint and it is our full intent to recycle 100% of
all paint waste received. The only qualifier is that the paint cannot contain PCB's. Should
PCB's be found in any of the paint, this waste will have to be incinerated. In addition to the
paint waste, ONYX will recycle all good fuels waste by bulking miscellaneous solvents and
thinners on-site. A111ead-acid or nickel-cadmium batteries as well as mercury received will also
be recycled per the treatment technology specified in 40 CFR 268. The majority of the recycled
waste will be shipped to an approved third party facility.
It's important to note that just because a waste is regulated as "non-regulated/hazardous" by the
EP A, it's not necessarily "non-hazardous" to the environment. Note too the fact that residents
who will be participating in these programs will more than likely bring a lot of non-original
containers to the events. Therefore, the contents of a container may not always be 100% what
the container is labeled so ONYX believes every precaution should be taken to protect our
environment from unwanted contaminants. Because of this, all chemicals (hazardous or not) will
be disposed of in strict compliance with regulations and guidelines and managed at either an
approved licensed incinerator or licensed hazardous waste landfill.
3.0 CONTINGENCY PLAN
ONYX will take every precaution necessary to prevent a chemical spill and/or fire from occurring.
Through proper set-up procedures and awareness of activities being performed, a spill and/or
fire should not be a concern. ONYX personnel have all received the proper training (as addressed
later in this proposal) in management of chemicals and hazards associated with each chemical. The
knowledge and expertise of ONYX's personnel have proven the company's success ratio (100%
spill and fire free) and will contribute to an accident free environment.
In the unlikely event that a spill or fire does occur, ONYX will address the situation as follows:
The Safety Coordinator designated on the project site (provided by ONYX) will be the designated
Emergency Coordinator (BC). The EC will follow response procedures as described in ONYX's
Corporate Emergency Response Manual unless another appropriate procedure has been agreed upon
with the City of Bozeman. The EC will determine:
1) The nature of the chemicals involved and the extent of the spill or leak and/or extent
of the fire.
2) If evacuation of personnel is required.
3) If special equipment is needed in order to contain and cleanup the spill or leak and/or
fire.
4) If fire (or the potential for fire) is involved.
The EC will contact the designated City of Bozeman on-site representative as soon as possible to
relay all pertinent information (once the situation is under control).
The EC will direct the spill or leak clean up and/or fire, following emergency response procedures.
If necessary, the work area will be closed off to prevent any potential release. Personnel will wear
appropriate protective clothing and respiratory equipment.
A liquid chemical spill will be contained by surrounding the spill with absorbent. Every effort will
be made to prevent the spill from entering surface water or sewer drainage systems. Once the spill
has been absorbed, the contaminated absorbent will be placed into a non-leaking UN/NA approved
container for proper transportation and disposal.
If the spill was from a drum, the hole causing the leak will be sealed and/or the drum will be
overpacked. After the spill residues are containerized, the area will be appropriately cleaned.
A solid chemical spill will be collected with a non-sparking shovel and placed into an UN/NA
approved drum. The broken container will also be placed in the drum for proper identification,
transportation and disposal.
Should property or equipment become contaminated it will be washed with soapy water and rinsed.
.
A liquid or solid fire will be attempted to be distinguished via ONYX's on-site fire extinguishers
and/or absorbent (floor-dry). ONYX will notify the fire department immediately should their
assistance be required.
All personnel are required to wear protective equipment during spill clean-ups. Types of gear and
decon will be noted in the site health and safety plan. Personnel decon will take place in the
following order:
Remove outer gloves, discard in "PPE Drum"
Remove boot covers, discard in "PPE Drum"
Remove Coveralls (Tyvek), discard in "PPE Drum"
Remove Latex gloves, discard in "PPE Drum"
Remove respirator, put into decon pail with detergent solution
Remove cotton liners, discard in "PPE Drum"
Respirators will be cleaned in a 5-gallon bucket of detergent and air-dried. Then
stored in a clean respirator bag in the employee's equipment bag.
Equipment that will be available to facilitate cleanup of spills or fires is as follows:
Absorbent (floor-dry)
Shovel
Broom
Spill Kit (Soda Ash & Citric Acid)
Berms to prevent run-off
ABC Fire Extinguishers

TECHNICAl" PROPOSAL-
CESQG COLLECTION EVENT

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL FOR
CESQG COLLECTION EVENT
CITY OF BOZEMAN, MT
This procedure, prcpared by ONYX Environmental Services, LLC, is written to addrcss
operational issues concerning Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (CESQG) in
establishing a collection program for thc City of Bozeman. This overvicw generally applies to
municipalities and others who voluntarily establish CESQG programs, and addresses thc pre-
registration, transportation, and onsite collcction and payment procedures.
Applicability
In order to participate in this program, the small business must gcnerate less than 220 Ibs. of a
hazardous waste per month, have in storage less than 2200 lbs. of hazardous wastes, and have no
more than 2 Ibs. of an acutely toxic waste. The CESQG will be asked to sign a certification that
thcir waste does not cxceed the hazardous waste generated at the site to thc above regulatory limits.
Delegation of Duties
Many municipalities wish to have the contractor manage the CESQG program completely. Thc
typical rolc of a municipality in the CESQG collections is providing a site for collection, publicity
ofthc event, and surveys (if required) onsite. ONYX can or will train the City of Bozeman staff to
conduct an information campaign rcgarding the program, and will schcdule and approve CESQG
wastes, off-load, segregatc, inventory, bulk, package, transport, dispose and collect from the
CESQG directly.
ONYX has worked closely with the USEP A to dcvclop this program which we intend to implement
for the City of Bozeman.
Step 1: Pre-registration
Pre-registration of small busincsses under the CESQG program is an cssential element of
the program. This can be accomplished by ONYX and the City utilizing thc pre-
registration packct.
Thc process of pre-registration requircs the CESQG who wishes to participate in the
collection program to call thc ONYX CESQG Coordinator. ONYX will collect thc
following information from thc potential participant: Business namc, Contact person,
Address, and Phone number. The participant is thcn sent a pre-rcgistration packet to
complete.
The participant is asked to send a $25.00 processing and acceptance fce along with their
inventory and certification form. The fee is non-rcfundable, but will be applied to the
disposal cost if the participant uses thc program.
.
The inventory must state the a) chemical name, b) container sizc, c) type of container
(mctaI, plastic, ctc.), d) quantity of containers, e) amount in thc containers, and f) physical
state of the chemical. The cost to the CESQG will be detennined from the inventory.
Step 2: Inventory Rcview
Thc inventory of the chcmicals from cach CESQG will be rcvicwed by ONYX for
acceptability. The generator's name, addrcss and phone will be recorded and a mastcr list
of schedulcd CESQG's will be established for each collection event.
Step 3: Cost Estimates and Scheduling Dates
The CESQG will be scnt a cost estimate based on the amount of materials listed on the
inventory form. Chemicals which arc unacceptable to the program will be higWighted and
the gcnerator will be informed of the available options to dispose of the unacceptable
materials. The cost of acceptabIc material will include: labor, materials, packaging,
transportation and disposal (unless specified diffcrently by thc City of Bozcman). Once
the CESQG has bcen screened and acceptable chemicals identified, each CESQG will be
given a date and time to bring their wastes to the collection event.
Stcp 4: Transportation Instructions
ONYX can suggest the following packaging and transportation tips to the participants:
I. Complete inventory paperwork for all chemicals bcing
transported.
2. Never transport leaking containers. Contact ONYX for
proper overpacking and shipping instructions.
3. Package the chemicals in boxes, keeping compatible
chemicals together.
4. Never ship unknowns with othcr chemicals in the same
box.
5. Label the boxes containing the chemicals.
A major consideration in the successful collection ofCESQG wastes is the safety of the participant
in delivering their wastes to the collcction event. If the CESQG segregates and packages thc waste
in separate boxcs according to compatibility, labels the boxes, and kecps a copy of the completed
inventory of the boxes, then the safety of the CESQG in transit is enhanced. This will help a first
responder to identify the contcnts of the chemicals in each box prior to cngaging in rcsponse to an
accidcntal fire, spill and other release.
Step 5: Acccptance At The Facility
All site safety and waste acceptance procedurcs will be implemented for CESQG waste
collections. For each CESQG, ONYX will compare load contents with the inventory of
chemicals that was pre-approvcd during the pre-registration process. Each chemical will
be compared against the inventory description and amounts. Once material is deemed
acceptable, the waste will be removed from the participants vehicle.
Containers larger than 5 gallons are also screened to determine conformance and waste
description. Screens may include: flash point, pH, physical state, cyanide screen, water
reactivity, sulfide screen, and PCB screen.
Participants will be instructed to remain in their vehicles at all times. Once a participant's
wastes are accepted, the waste will be shuttled to the packaging/segregation area. At this
time ONYX will collect payment from participant in the form of a bank certified check or
cash. The payment should match the quote amount given to the CESQG by ONYX on
their specific inventory of chemicals. If the original inventory is less than the actual
inventory of chemicals brought to the collection, the CESQG will need additional funds
available to pay for the additional chemicals. A receipt for the materials managed and the
associated payments will be given to the generator.
Step 6: Segregation and Packaging of CESQG Wastcs
CESQG wastes will be uniquely identified during the off-load process. These materials
may be segregated, packaged, and combined with other household hazardous wastes.
Since tight control is maintained of the CESQG chemicals through inventory and
certification forms, and marking the CESQG chemicals during the segregation process, the
liability of combining CESQG and HHW wastes is minimized. Packaging these wastes
together makes economic sense and meets regulatory requirements. ONYX will keep a

collection volumes for invoicing purposes.
Step 7: Paperwork
ONYX will coordinate with the City to complete all paperwork necessary, to comply with
all applicable regulations and ensure acceptance of packaged waste at our disposal
facilities. Similar record-keeping and reporting procedures to those reflected for HHW's
will assure regulatory compliance and compliance with the City of Bozeman requirements.
Copies of all required paperwork including receipts, certifications, and volume reports will
be given to the City.
