The Contractor must have a County Safety Officer reviewed and County approved Emergency/Contingency Plan for handling spills of hazardous, liquid or nuisance materials it is using while working on County property or elsewhere when performing work on the County’s behalf. This shall include proper handling, removal and disposal of these materials per all applicable Federal and State requirements. The Plan shall also include emergency notification to County staff and emergency personnel. The spill-damaged area(s) must be restored/repaired to its original condition by the Contractor in a correct and timely manner and to the satisfaction of the County. The Contractor shall provide copies of all manifests, bills of lading, etc. to the County upon request to verify proper disposal to a licensed, permitted facility has occurred. The County has the authority to perform inspections of the Contractor’s work area at any time to insure all applicable regulations are being adhered to. The Contractor is responsible for training their employees, as required by OSHA CCR Title 8, in the proper handling, storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials. These employees must also be trained in the Emergency/Contingency Plan and know immediate response procedures should a release occur. The Contractor shall keep emergency response equipment and materials available in the working area, should a release occur.
CONTRACTOR GENERATED HAZARDOUS WASTE. Contractor generated hazardous waste means materials that, if abandoned or disposed of, may meet the definition of a hazardous waste. These waste streams would typically consist of material brought on site by the Contractor to execute work, but are not fully consumed during the course of construction. Examples include, but are not limited to, excess paint thinners (i.e. methyl ethyl ketone, toluene etc.), waste thinners, excess paints, excess solvents, and waste solvents.
