Part IV- Waste Management Plan
133-135 Greenwich Street/21-23 Thames Street
Airtek Project 05-0701— August 10, 2005
8.1 Hazardous Waste
Hazardous waste will be placed in containers (e.g., USDOT approved drums,
bags, roll-off containers) and transferred to the waste storage area prior to off-site
disposal. Drums will be closed at all times during storage, except when waste is
added or removed. Drums will be stored in manner to prevent ruptures or leaks in
the waste storage area. Containers will be inspected to ensure containers are not
over packed or leaking.
Hazardous waste may be kept in the waste storage area for up to 90 days from the
accumulation start date. If the generator status should change from large quantity
generator to small quantity generator, then up to 13,200 pounds of waste may be
stored in the waste storage area for up to 180 days from the accumulation start.
8.2 Universal Waste
Universal waste will be treated according to hazardous waste regulations. See 8.1
above.
8.3 Asbestos Waste
Waste containing asbestos will be wet down to prevent visible emissions of
asbestos dust into the air. The asbestos waste will be sealed while wet in a leak-
tight container. A supply of leak tight containers will be kept in the waste storage
area to provide adequate repackaging if a break in the container should occur.
Storage area shall be maintained under a negative pressure ventilation system.
Daily inspections of the waste storage area shall be required.
Storage of asbestos waste will not exceed 50 cubic yards. Authorization from the
New York City Department of Sanitation (NYCDOS) and additional
requirements, per code, will be required if accumulation of asbestos is anticipated
to be greater than 50 cubic yards. Containers holding asbestos waste will be
inspected daily to ensure no visible emissions of asbestos dust in the air or breaks
in the container.
8.4 PCB Waste
Non-leaking waste PCB waste will be placed in containers and maintained in the
waste storage area prior to disposal. Any leaking PCB articles or containers will
be transferred to properly marked, non-leaking containers or an over-pack
containers. Leaking waste PCB articles and equipment that cannot be transferred
to a non-leaking container or over pack container will be placed in a containment
pad with sorbent material and tarp. PCB bulk product waste, including fluorescent
light ballasts, may be kept in the waste storage area up to 180 days.
