waste could jeopardize the protection of human health or the environment, immediate containment and isolation of the waste will be conducted. The generator will be notified, a record will be made in the SOR and the TCEQ Regional Office will be informed. Both the generator and the TCEQ will be involved in preparing the removal and remedial action plan.

For solids, site staff will use shovels, brooms, and/or heavy equipment to pick up spilled materials. For liquids, typical cleanup, materials would include oil dry, absorbent pads, or other available materials to contain the spilled material. Spill cleanup kits are maintained on site. Pumps might also be used, when appropriate, to transfer liquid material from the spill area into containers. For larger spills, or where there is potential for the waste to impact waters in the state, the landfill manager will assess the situation and determine the appropriate means to contain and collect the material. If spilled material threatens to impact storm water discharge from the site, the landfill manager will use booms or diversionary dikes or excavate holes or pits as needed to contain the spilled material. Equipment typically available for spill response includes excavators, backhoes, dozers, pumps and haul trucks. In the event of a spill that cannot be picked up using handheld tools, this equipment will be used as needed to contain and collect spilled material. For larger spills, emergency cleanup contractor or vacuum truck company may be contracted to assist with cleaning up the spill. Once the liquids are removed, a visual inspection of the spill area will be made, and sols observed to be potential impacted will be over-excavated and disposed with the collected material 9.0 Record Keeping and Reporting Any and all documents, manifests, shipping documents, trip tickets, etc. involving special waste shall be maintained in the SOR.
