In the following instances, wastes will be reviewed and characterized via knowledge of
process or sampling:
1. A change in a process/operation that impacts the composition of the
waste stream;
2. The addition of a new process/operation; and,
3. Discovery of an unidentified waste.
All wastes profiles will be reviewed annually for verification by sampling or employee
interviews, and recorded in the Database titled “Waste Analysis Plan” (WAP
database). The minimum waste sampling frequency is performed in accordance with
the sampling frequency table presented on page 9 of the UTC EH&S Standard Work
for Waste Determinations in the U.S. (Exhibit B). Waste may be sampled more
frequently based on the results of the annual review.
1. Physical properties;
2. Chemical composition;
6. Variability of waste
Containers of hazardous wastes generated at the HSC facility are tracked by waste
disposal travelers and by computer using the EH&S Desk WIMS program. An example
waste disposal traveler form is provided in Figure 1. Prior to the movement of waste
from the point of generation or an accumulation area to the HWF, a waste disposal
traveler is completed by facility personnel familiar with the waste. At a minimum, this
form identifies the department group generating the waste; the container ID or
machine number; the location; the waste description; and the name and phone
number of the associate responsible for generating the waste. The information
included on the waste disposal traveler allows the waste to be associated with the
corresponding waste stream identified during the waste determination and
appropriately managed. Waste streams that do not have the characterization
parameters identified above are not accepted into the HWF for storage.
codes, the rationale for testing, and the test methods to be used for the testing of the
HWF’s hazardous and non-hazardous waste. When necessary, laboratory analysis is
performed at a State Certified analytical lab. Results of chemical analyses are
maintained by the Site EH&S Department.
The Environmental Operations-HWF staff performs waste characterization sampling at
the facility in accordance with the procedure outlined in this document (WL-EHS-GUI-
0100-00 Waste Analysis Plan Procedures). The Site Environmental, Health and
Safety (Site EH&S) staff and/or EH&S consultants also perform sampling of
groundwater and soil and of various materials for asbestos and PCB programs.
Representative sampling from the storage containers follow the procedures outlined in
SW-846. Samples are collected with equipment and techniques capable of obtaining a
representative sample of waste throughout the entire depth of the container. Samples
taken from waste streams with various phases include aliquots from each phase. For
example, if a container is 80 percent liquid and 20 percent sludge, the sample will
contain the same percentage of each phase and/or each phase will be sampled
separately.
When sampling large areas for waste characterization, for example concrete pads
designated for removal, the number of samples taken is based on the square footage
and configuration of the area. Samples from a hopper or roll-off are obtained from the
top, middle, and bottom layers to ensure that the sample is representative of the entire
load. Parameters to be analyzed for are determined on a case by case basis
depending on the historic use of an area and any records of past spills or releases.
Tank systems are periodically sampled for waste characterization. In addition, the
facility identifies, by use of waste disposal travelers and the consolidation reports, all
possible waste streams that have been added to a tank system. The resulting tank
system waste stream carries with it the applicable Connecticut Regulated codes
associated with the waste streams that have been added.
Sampling equipment will vary according to the physical and chemical characteristics of
the waste stream. Table 3 provides a summary of the typical sampling equipment used
for specific waste types. Samples are collected in certified clean wide-mouth glass
jars with Teflon lids, or if applicable, poly containers. Samples are kept refrigerated or
placed in coolers prior to shipment or delivery directly to the lab.
Decontamination of sampling equipment can consist of methanol, nitric acid, and
deionized water. These materials remove organics and metals from the sampling
equipment. In many cases dedicated sampling equipment, such as coliwasa tubes,
are disposed of after each use and do not require decontamination.
Samples are closely tracked by assigning them an identification number. In addition to
the identification number the following information is recorded: sample date, sample
location, description of the waste, and parameters for which the sample will be tested.
If any samples are not immediately analyzed, they are containerized and preserved in
accordance with the methods specified in SW-846, or as required in the specific

All waste chemicals and other materials generated on-site which are stored or
otherwise managed in the HWF. Waste verification for waste chemicals and
other materials generated on-site is done by reviewing records associated with
the waste (i.e., waste disposal traveler).
Any waste managed within the HWF prior to the transfer of bulking of a waste
stream into a storage tank, container, or container storage area, to confirm that
the contents of the storage tank, container, or other processing area and the
materials are compatible in accordance with Section 4.0 of this document.
Any waste streams that do not have the required characterization and/or do not meet
the verification parameters are not stored in the HWF.

Residues from spills that occur must be characterized so the resulting wastes can be
properly managed and stored at the HWF.
Spill residues from known sources – Spill residues from known sources of wastes
in storage at the HWF shall be evaluated or analyzed for the appropriate
parameters referenced in Table 2, Parameters and Rationale. The results from
these evaluations of analyses shall be used to characterize the spill residues.
Spill residues from Unknown Sources – Spill residues from unknown sources shall
be evaluated in accordance with Figure 2, Analytical Procedure for Unidentified
Waste, to identify the waste, determine the proper waste management and
compatibility group and ensure that sufficient information is obtained for proper
storage or management of the waste. If the material does not fall within the
permitted hazardous waste codes, the material shall not be managed in the HWF
and must be shipped off-site to an approved facility within 90 days.
The following section details the storage arrangement for typical wastes. The RCRA
Part B Permit limits the total volumetric storage capacity of all containers in the storage
area to a total of 55,000 gallons. Secondary containment requirements include a
containment volume of 10% of all waste, or 100% of the largest container, whichever
is greatest. Although some waste may be deemed incompatible by RGN, due to
concentration, or other factors they have been determined to be acceptable for storage
together. Specific examples of incompatible RGN pairs are described below. A
detailed breakdown of waste stored on each rack and the subsequent compatibility
issues are included in Exhibit C - RGN Compatibility Assessment Table.
Rack Storage:
Rack A, Ignitable/Combustible (90 drums) – Miscellaneous liquid flammables such as
paints, resins (non-isocyanate), and adhesives, jet fuel, calibration fluids, aerosol cans,
and hazardous oils will generally be incinerated and stored on this rack since it is
farthest from the Packaging Room, and accessible to fire trucks. These wastes fall
primarily into the RGN of 101- Combustible and Flammable Materials, Miscellaneous

not an issue on this rack because many of the incompatible pair examples have been
pre-mixed prior to disposal and do not show any signs of a hazardous reaction. There
is one incompatible RGN pair on this rack that result in flammable gas generation and
heat generation; 22/106. The incompatibility of 22/106 originates from dry metal alloy
and water mixtures. The metal powders will not be considered incompatible after
treatment with mineral oil because the oil surrounds the metal alloys to prevent oxygen
and water from reacting with the powder. Therefore this result is not anticipated to be
an issue.
Rack G Toxics, Aqueous wastes, Universal wastes (108 drums) - Typical wastes are
rinse waters from processes, floor wash water, used electronics, and biomedical
waste. There is one incompatible RGN pair stored on this rack, 24/106. The
incompatibility results in solubilization of toxic substances. This result is not an issue
on this rack because many of the incompatible pair examples have been pre-mixed
prior to disposal and do not show any signs of a hazardous reaction. Additionally, the
concentration of toxic substances is very low.
Rack H Supplies or Toxics (36 drums) - Supplies such as pails, and bags are typically
stored in this rack. Space is available for wastes if needed in the future.
Storage Buildings:
These are self-contained, heated units approximately 15 ft x 10 ft, with 500 gallons of
containment capacity. These are used to store wastes that may be incompatible with
most of the chemical families as indicated on the RGN table.
Acid Storage Building (SSC-2) - This building houses acids such as chromic acid,
phosphoric acid, and fixer from printing. These wastes are isolated since they are
reactive with most chemical families such as caustics, halogenated solvents,
hydrocarbons, and flammables. Separate storage shelves are located inside and used
to store oxidizers that are acidic. There are multiple sets of incompatible RGN pairs
stored in this area, however the incompatibility results is either solubilization of toxic
substances which has already been discussed, and heat generation which is an
inherent physical property when mixing or diluting acids. Since no on-site
neutralization is being performed, it is unlikely that any heat generation will occur
during storage.
Alkaline/Cyanide Storage Building (SSC-1)_- This building houses alkalines such as
ammonia solutions, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. Cyanides are not
used in the plating processes at the HSC facility. These wastes are isolated since
they are reactive with most chemical families such as acids, halogenated solvents,
hydrocarbons, and flammables. Separate storage shelves are located inside and used
to store oxidizers that are alkaline. There are two incompatible RGN pairs stored in
this area, 10/24 and 24/106. The incompatibility results in solubilization of toxic
substances. This result is not expected to be an issue as the wastes are not mixed
and if they were, the result would not present a danger in the area.
PCB/Resin Storage Building (SSC-4 & SSC-5) - This building contains two rooms that
are divided by a ceiling to floor wall, each with separate containment. PCB wastes are
K.8
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
stored in one room while isocyanates are stored in the other. Waste that is classified
as PCB waste (waste that contains 50 parts per million (ppm) of polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) or is contaminated with material who’s source contained 50 ppm of
PCBs) is managed in drums. This material is stored in the PCB shed located at the
HWF.There is one incompatible RGN pair: 18/106. Wastes with RGN 18 are stored
within SSC-5 and wastes with RGN 106 are within SSC-4. The construction of this
building with two separate rooms prevents wastes with RGN’s 18 and 106 from
coming into contact. All RGN’s within individual storage rooms are compatible.
Incompatible wastes are not co-located.
Storage Building for Water-based Wastes (SSC-6) - This storage building is for water-
based wastes to keep from freezing in the winter. In addition, small, self-contained
cabinets may also be made available for segregating special wastes.
Cabinet Storage:
Flammable Cabinet (SSC-3) - Typical wastes stored in the flammable cabinet are
small containers of flammables and combustibles.
Lab Pack Cabinet Toxics/Others (SSC-7) - This cabinet is used for miscellaneous
wastes that are not corrosive or flammable. This cabinet is used to store toxics or
otherwise hazardous materials requiring segregation (provided that RGN’s are
compatible). Separate containers are located inside of the cabinet to provide
segregation.
Peroxides:
These are typically segregated and stored in a refrigerator since they are temperature
sensitive. The temperature range at which the organic peroxide can be safely stored
must be identified on the container.
HSC bulks waste in tank systems. Currently, there are two waste tanks at the HWF.
These tanks and the typical wastes stored in them are described below.
Non-Hazardous Tank I.D. 121A (a.k.a 121 in database) - This tank previously
contained flammable wastes. Partial closure of tank 121A was achieved on August
15, 2013 and the tank was repurposed for storage of non-hazardous process waters
and coolants.. Typical wastes include FPI rinsewaters, glycols, floor stripping and
wash waters. These waters are sent off-site for treatment.
Used Oil: Non-Hazardous Combustible Liquids/Oils I.D 121B (a.k.a 122 in database) -
Typical wastes are high flash petroleum based cleaners, preservative oils, various
K.9
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION

cutting, lubrication and hydraulic oils, and other metal working fluids. The used oils are
sent off-site for recycling.
K.10
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
In addition to characterizing each waste, prior to storage at the HWF the degree of
hazard for each material must be determined. The degree of hazard determination
can be made based on the following methods:
Review of the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) associated with the waste. This can
include the SDS for the primary ingredients/virgin materials in the waste. The
SDS includes information on the physical and chemical hazards associated with
the material and can be used to determine the applicable degree of hazard.
Using an NFPA Standard (e.g., NFPA 704, NFPA 325M, NFPA 49, NFPA 430,
NFPA 432, NFPA 55, etc.) a determination can be made on the applicable
degree of hazard and/or hazard class rating for each of the primary ingredients
in the wastes.
1. Obtain the individual degree of hazard rating for each component using the
methods described above. The mixture can be assigned the degree of hazard
which represents the most severe degree of hazard rating. If an individual
component does not have a degree of hazard rating, one can be assigned using
the NFPA 704 quantitative or qualitative determination method (or another
approved method). The selection and assignment of method and degree of hazard
rating must be documented in the evaluation.
2. If the principal hazards of the mixture are known, the degree of hazard for the
mixture can be assigned. The method to be used to assign the overall degree of
hazard rating shall be the quantitative or qualitative method described in NFPA
704, or an alternate approved method.
The assignment of the individual degrees of hazards, as well as the overall degree of
hazard for the mixtures must be documented and the record of the determination will
be maintained in the HWF Operating Record until the HWF is closed.
Each waste is recharacterized three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the initial
waste characterization as described in Section 1.

HWF Compactor Subpart CC Compliance Checklist
Work Instruction
The Hazardous Waste Facility (HWF) Compactor Subpart CC Compliance Checklist is the document
used to demonstrate compliance with the air emission requirements in 40 CFR 264 Subpart CC for
the compactor unit. A series of questions associated with the required inspection items must be
answered to document the compliance of the compactor unit. The questions are presented below
with the conditions along with guidance to properly answer the question.
Calibration Gas Used (Concentration)
Indicate the calibration gas used. According to Method 21 of 40 CFR 60 Appendix A as referenced
in 40 CFR 264 Subpart CC, the calibration gas must be either methane or n-Hexane. Indicate the gas
concentration in parentheses.
Background VO Concentration: ________________
Take a VO reading of the ambient air in the area of the compactor (approximately 6-12 feet away).
Record the value in the space provided.
Do the waste streams entering the compactor unit have ≥ 500 ppm by weight volatile
organics
40 CFR 264 Subpart CC regulations are only applicable to waste streams that have a volatile
organics (VO) concentration of 500 parts per million (ppm) or more. If the waste managed in the
compactor has a VO concentration of 500 ppm of more, place a “” in the Status column. If the
waste managed in the compactor does not have a VO concentration of 500 ppm or more, place an
“X” in the Status column, and indicate in the waste is not subject to Subpart CC requirements at the
bottom of the form.
Are the following areas free of gaps, spaces or other openings:
Visually inspect the compactor door when closed, the piping leading from the compactor to the
carbon vessel and the carbon vessel for signs of gaps, spaces or other openings. If no gap, spaces or
other openings are found in the inspected items, place a “” in the Status column. If gaps, spaces or
other openings are found in the inspection items, place an “X” in the Status column, and document
the corrective actions performed and the date completed at the bottom of the form.
During compactor operation, record maximum VO readings from the following areas:
Record the maximum VO concentrations at the following locations on the compactor unit:
o Along the interface of the compactor door and compactor unit,
o Along the perimeter of any piping joints, and
o At the outlet of the carbon unit.
If a leakage is indicated along any of the units, slowly sample the interface where leakage is
indicated and until the maximum reading is obtained. Record the maximum reading in the space
provided.
Is each of the readings less than 500 ppm above background?
Subtract the background VO concentration from the maximum VO concentration found for each area
inspected. If each of the corrected readings is less than 500 ppm, place a “” in the Status column.
If any of the corrected readings is 500 ppm or more, place an “X” in the Status column. Indicate at

1. INTRODUCTION
This Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan (Plan) has been prepared for the Hazardous Waste
Facility (HWF) operated by Hamilton Sundstrand at their manufacturing plant located at 1
Hamilton Road in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. This Contingency Plan satisfies the
preparedness, prevention and contingency planning requirements promulgated in the Resource,
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste regulations, including Title 40 Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 264 Subpart D and 40 CFR Part 264 Subpart C. In response
to these regulations, this Plan has been developed to guide facility response efforts in the event
of an emergency. The Plan objective is to provide procedures/protocols to substantially reduce
hazards to human health or the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned sudden or
non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil, or surface
water.
There are various processes at the facility which generate hazardous wastes and/or non-
hazardous wastes. Principal activities at the facility include the design and manufacture of
aerospace components such as electronic components, space suits, space shuttle/space station life
support systems, propellers, jet engine fuel control systems, guidance systems and aircraft
environmental control systems.
M.1
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
Hazardous, non-hazardous, and universal wastes generated from site activities are stored in the
HWF located on the southwest portion of the campus. The HWF totals approximately 15,000
square feet and is primarily a covered, unheated storage area with a concrete base coated with
epoxy resin. Chemical storage in the HWF is divided into eight drum storage racks (designated
Racks A through H), two lab pack cabinets for small-quantity wastes, four self-contained storage
units (referred to as “condos”), a 30 cubic-yard roll-off container, a flammables cabinet, and two
6,000-gallon aboveground storage tanks for used oil and non-hazardous liquid, respectively.
Each storage area within the HWF is marked with signs describing the chemicals or wastes
stored in the area.
All hazardous wastes are stored in Department of Transportation (DOT) approved shipping
containers that are compatible with the materials being stored. Non Hazardous liquids are stored
in a tank adjacent to the HWF Packaging Room. Containers remain closed at all times except
when adding or removing wastes. Adequate aisle space is provided to facilitate weekly container
inspections and emergency access and egress. Incompatible waste streams are separated as
appropriate. All containerized wastes generated at the facility are shipped from the southwest
loading dock located adjacent to the Staging Area. Non-hazardous liquids and waste oils stored
in the tank units are transferred for shipment through piping located at the southeast corner of the
HWF.
The hazardous wastes handled at the Site are identified and characterized in accordance with
federal and state regulations. Waste determination documentation and profiles are maintained at
the facility for review by CTDEEP. Guidance for classification of characteristically hazardous
waste is provided in Appendix A.
The types of waste streams generated at the facility and potentially stored at the HWF are as
follows:
Storage Maximum Maximum Major Typical Hazardous and Connecticut-
Area Number of Capacity in Hazard Type Regulated Wastes
Containers Gallons
Ignitable and combustible liquids such as
Ignitable and
Rack - A 90 4,950 paints, resins (non-isocyanate) and
Combustible
adhesives.
Burnables such as rags, oil filters, paint
Rack – B 90 4,950 Toxic
filters and aerosol cans.
Burnables such as rags, oil filters, paint

The Emergency Coordinators have been designated based on their familiarity with the facility
and the hazardous waste generation and management. The Emergency Coordinators are trained
in accordance with Hamilton Sundstrand training programs to take action in the event of an
emergency at the facility. The Emergency Coordinators are familiar with all aspects of this Plan,
the operations and activities of the facility, the location and characteristics of wastes handled, the
location of facility records, the facility layout, and the location and use of all emergency
equipment. The names and addresses of the Emergency Coordinators along with home
telephone numbers, office telephone numbers, and cell phone numbers are listed in Table 1. This
table will be maintained and updated in response to facility personnel changes.
The Primary Emergency Coordinator (or Alternate Emergency Coordinator if the Primary
Coordinator is unavailable) is authorized to commit the necessary resources, equipment, and
personnel to carry out this Plan in order to deal with an emergency situation that may arise at the
HWF. At all times, at least one Emergency Coordinator will be present at the facility or on call
and capable of reaching the facility in time to respond effectively to any potential emergency.
Any person discovering a spill, fire, explosion, or any unplanned release of hazardous waste
constituents to the air, soil, or surface water, must immediately notify their Supervisor, who will
immediately notify the Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator must immediately
perform the following actions:
Evaluate the emergency and decide whether to implement the Contingency Plan.
When applicable, activate internal facility communication systems or alarms to notify all
facility personnel of the emergency and of an evacuation.
Whenever there is a release, fire, or explosion of hazardous waste; identify the character,
exact source, amount, and the size of the area impacted by any released materials. This
may be done by observation, review of facility records, or by chemical analysis.
M.5
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
Assess the potential hazards to human health or the environment that may result from the
release, including fires or explosions. The assessment will consider both the direct and
indirect effects of the incident (e.g., the effects of any toxic, irritating, or asphyxiating
gases that are generated or the effects of any hazardous surface runoff from contaminated
water or chemical agents used to control fire, and heat induced explosions).
Notify outside emergency, state, and local agencies of the emergency with designated
response roles if their help is needed.
Based on the severity of the emergency, supervise the evacuation of local areas outside
the facility if the local police or fire department officials order an evacuation.
As appropriate dispatch contractors for cleanup operations and supervise all cleanup
operations performed by contractors.
All recovered materials will be properly containerized under the supervision of the Emergency
Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator must also ensure that no material or waste, that may
be incompatible with the released material, is stored in the affected areas until cleanup
procedures are completed. A guide for determining chemical incompatibility is included in
Appendix B.
M.6
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
Secondary containment is provided for all hazardous waste containers which contain
liquids located in the HWF. Any releases occurring from hazardous waste liquid
containers located within this area would be contained within the provided secondary
containment.
All secondary containment provided for liquid hazardous waste containers located within
the HWF have a capacity equal to or greater than ten percent of the total storage volume
or 100 percent of the volume of the single largest container. If incompatible hazardous
waste liquids are stored (i.e., flammable and corrosive liquids), the containers are
segregated in different storage racks or in isolated containment units (condos) within the
HWF. Hazardous waste liquids are contained in 55-gallon closed-top drums, to minimize
the potential for a spill.
The non-hazardous liquids storage tank and the non-hazardous used oil tank are both of
double-walled construction and are located in a concrete-walled annex that is equipped
with liquid level sensors to detect overfill and leak conditions. The tanks are equipped
with high level and low level liquid level sensors. Transfer piping associated with the
storage tanks is also double walled. In the event of a failure of the inner wall of a transfer
pipe, liquids would flow in the outer wall of the pipe to a containment sump equipped
with liquid level sensors. The tanks undergo periodic integrity testing.
Wastes contained in tanks are periodically shipped off-site by a licensed waste hauler.
To minimize the potential for a release during transfer, waste haulers and Hamilton
Sundstrand personnel will adhere to the following standardized transfer procedures
during all shipments and deliveries:
M.7
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
Transfer operations for shipping wastes and receiving virgin product will be
supervised by Hamilton Sundstrand personnel;
Catch basin covers will be placed over down gradient catch basins prior to
transferring liquids when it is determined necessary, and absorbents will be
readily available to contain any spills that may occur;
The driver and Hamilton Sundstrand personnel will remain present and attentive
at all times during transfer.
Hamilton Sundstrand will comply with the following requirements when managing
organic peroxide in the HWF:
The chemical name will be posted on the container utilized to manage the organic
peroxide;
The temperature range at which the organic peroxide can be safely managed will
be identified and posted on the container utilized to manage the organic peroxide;
and
Any container containing organic peroxide wastes will be kept in the designated
storage cabinet or a refrigerator as specified by the manufacturer.
Ignitable Wastes
Hamilton Sundstrand will ensure that containers holding ignitable or reactive waste are
located at least 15 meters (50 feet) from the property line and will not manage any
ignitable waste at the HWF unless the waste is protected from any condition that may
cause the waste to ignite. Hamilton Sundstrand will make allowances for the grounding
M.8
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
of any containers of ignitable materials stored or managed in the HWF at least during the
addition and removal of wastes to and from containers.
Hazardous waste containers will be selected by the Environmental Health & Safety
Office based on the characteristics of the waste added to the container. Additionally,
incompatible wastes will not be co-mingled within the same waste container. A guide for
determining material incompatibility is provided as Appendix B.
Hamilton Sundstrand will ensure that at all times hazardous wastes from a given
hazardous waste compatibility group be separated from materials from a different
compatibility group (incompatible wastes or other materials), or protected from them by
means of dike, berm, wall or other device. The staging area compatibility determination
will be in accordance with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 177.848I, Hazardous
Materials Load and Segregation Chart.

Procedures. Copies of the inspection schedule and inspection forms are maintained for a
minimum of three years.
If, during the course of the inspection, the inspector observes a problem, it will be noted
on the appropriate form and the inspector will notify the appropriate person. A
subsequent corrective action will be entered when the situation is rectified with
appropriate reference to the date on which the deficiency was discovered.
Keeping waste and chemical storage areas free of debris and obstructions;
Keeping aisle ways and floors clear, dry and in good repair;
Cleaning leaks and incidental spills immediately so as not to create a slip hazard;
The fire alarm system and exit signs are capable of operating under emergency power
conditions from battery power backup supply. The HWF has a backup generator capable
of supplying power to various systems, as needed.
M.10
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
To comply with state and federal regulations, Hamilton Sundstrand has developed a
comprehensive employee training program designed to “ensure that facility personnel are
able to respond effectively to emergencies by familiarizing them with emergency
procedures, emergency equipment, and emergency systems”. At a minimum, all
employees shall be made aware of the need to dial 1-911 from a facility phone or (860)
654-1911 from a cell phone in the event of an emergency. All employees must also be
familiar with primary and secondary evacuation routes from the facility. Awareness,
hazard recognition, and emergency notification training is the responsibility of the
Environment, Health & Safety division.
All personnel who perform hazardous waste-related activities, and/or are responsible for
ensuring that the facility’s waste management procedures comply with applicable
regulations must receive hazardous waste training. Employees must successfully
complete the hazardous waste training program within six months after their date of hire,
or their assignment to a new position within the facility. In addition, facility personnel
must take part in an annual review of the initial training program. This annual review will
incorporate any changes in regulatory requirements or the facility’s waste management or
emergency procedures.

4.1 Implementation
The decision to initiate an emergency response is made by the Emergency Coordinator upon
immediate awareness and assessment of a spill, fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or
hazardous waste constituents that could threaten human health or the environment. Upon
notification, the Emergency Coordinator will immediately proceed to the area of the incident to
assess the situation and make the decision to what extent emergency response should be
implemented.
The Emergency Coordinator has the authority to commit the resources required to carry out
emergency hazardous waste responses and to implement the Contingency Plan. All personnel
identified as participants in the implementation of the Contingency Plan and key management
personnel have been provided with copies of the Contingency Plan as well as training in its
implementation.
Specific emergency response procedures applicable to the facility are described and/or
referenced in the sections below. The conditions under which the Emergency Coordinator may
implement the Contingency Plan include the following:
Fire.
Explosion.
A spill that could result in release of flammable liquids or vapors, thus causing a fire or
explosion hazard.
Spills that could cause the release of toxic liquids or fumes which harm employees.
Other factors that are considered prior to the implementation of emergency procedures are:
Past experience.
Location.
M.14
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
Summary information on the general classes of hazardous materials that may be encountered
during an emergency scenario is included in Appendix A. The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for a
particular material should be referenced for information concerning the specific properties,
hazard data, and special precautions and procedures recommended by the manufacturer. SDSs
for all hazardous chemicals used in the facility are accessible to all employees.
4.2 Countermeasures
Minor releases which are incidental in nature, and which may occur during normal operations,
are not considered emergencies and are not covered by this Plan. If incidental releases occur
during normal work practices they will be addressed through normal housekeeping activities of
the employee(s) involved. An incidental release, as defined by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) in 29 CFR 1910.120, is any release where “…the substance can
be absorbed, neutralized, or otherwise controlled at the time of release by employees in the
immediate release area, or by maintenance personnel”. Incidental spills or drips which do
migrate to a drain, outside of a building, or to the atmosphere are to be managed in accordance
with Hamilton Sundstrand’s, Spill/Medical Response & Evacuation Plan.
Upon awareness of a non-incidental spill at the HWF (i.e. a spill that is beyond the ability of
employees to contain, or one that moves to a drain, outside the building, or to the atmosphere),
the employees must immediately notify the Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency
Coordinator will determine if the HWF personnel have the ability and proper equipment to
contain the release. If the containment of the release is beyond the capability of the HWF
personnel, the Emergency Coordinator will immediately notify Hamilton Sundstrand Emergency
Services by calling 1-911 from a facility telephone or (860) 654-1911 from a cell phone as stated
in Hamilton Sundstrand’s, Spill/Medical Response & Evacuation Plan. Emergency Services is
staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Once Emergency Services is notified, they will enact
Hamilton Sundstrand’s Integrated Contingency Plan.
M.15
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
Upon receiving notification of a release, fire, or explosion, the Emergency Coordinator must
immediately identify the character, exact source, amount, and extent of any released materials
through observation, review of facility records and manifests, and, if necessary, by chemical
analysis.
The Emergency Coordinator will coordinate the spill cleanup with the Emergency Cleanup
Contractor and will supervise all cleanup activities performed, including collecting and
containerizing the absorbent material and the spilled material for disposal off the site. The
contractor will also clean the spill area, as necessary and collect the cleaning materials for
disposal. The waste must be managed in accordance with all applicable requirements of state
and federal hazardous waste management. Wastes will also be managed according to Hamilton
Sundstrand’s, Hazardous Waste Facility Procedure and Site Waste Management Procedure.
Except for small fires that can be readily extinguished (also known as incipient-stage), fire
suppression actions will be undertaken by Emergency Services. For incipient-stage fires
contained to the area of origin in which no hazardous materials are stored, an employee may
attempt to extinguish the fire using a fire extinguisher provided the employee is properly trained
to do so.
If available, trained and designated Site personnel will report to the Emergency Coordinator for
possible assignment to shut down facility electrical power, shut off natural gas, shut down
heating and ventilation systems, or other tasks as requested by the Incident Commander. If
operations are stopped in response to a fire, explosion or release, the Emergency Coordinator or
their designee will monitor for leaks, pressure buildup, gas generation, or ruptures in valves,
pipes, or other equipment, wherever this is appropriate. The Incident Commander is the person
responsible for coordinating all facets of emergency response activities at the scene. The chief
fire department officer typically assumes the role of Incident Commander upon arrival at the
scene.
M.16
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
Actions to prevent the reoccurrence or spread of fires or explosions will include stopping
processes and operations, collecting and containing released waste. The Emergency Cleanup
Contractor will also be contacted to respond to the potential for contaminated runoff from fire
fighting activities.
If there is a loss of electricity, the Emergency Coordinator will contact the electrical provider,
Eversource (previously Connecticut Light & Power), at (860) 947-2000 to determine how long
the facility will be without power. Based on the duration of the power outage, the Emergency
Coordinator may instruct employees to return to work following the incident, or may authorize
employees to leave the HWF. Exit signs remain lit by battery power during outages to guide
employees out of the building if needed. The fire alarm system also remains operational.
The enclosed portion of the HWF is heated by propane gas. Any employee who observes
indications of a propane gas leak at the facility must immediately notify the Emergency
Coordinator. In the event of an actual propane leak, the Emergency Coordinator will initiate an
immediate evacuation of the facility by activating the fire alarm system and dialing 1-911 from a
facility telephone or (860) 654-1911 from a cell phone to alert Emergency Services. The
Emergency Coordinator will also contact Hamilton Sundstrand Facilities & Services to notify
them of the leak.
Employees may be instructed by the Emergency Coordinator to eliminate ignition sources prior
to evacuating the HWF, provided that it is safe to do so. The Emergency Coordinator may also
instruct employees to assemble at an alternate assembly point if it is believed the gas leak is near
the supply line to the building. Based on instructions from Hamilton Sundstrand Facilities &
Services and/or local emergency response personnel, the Emergency Coordinator may also be
asked to shut off the main propane gas valve located inside the HWF to mitigate potential harm
to life or property.
Hamilton Sundstrand employees who are not specifically engaged by Emergency Services are
not expected to perform rescue or medical/first aid duties. Generally, Emergency Services
personnel will perform these duties as needed. In the event of a medical emergency, Hamilton
M.17
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
Sundstrand employees should immediately notify the Emergency Coordinator and, if necessary,
dial 1-911 from facility phones to notify Emergency Services.
The secondary internal communication device at the facility is the public address (PA) system
which is used daily to page employees throughout the HWF. The PA system is not routinely
tested since it used daily.
In the event of an emergency that requires evacuation, the Emergency Coordinator will activate
the internal facility communication system (fire alarm system and/or PA system) to notify all
facility personnel to evacuate. Evacuations of the HWF will be performed in accordance with
Hamilton Sundstrand’s, Spill/Medical Response & Evacuation Plan. Upon evacuating the
building, HWF personnel will congregate at Refuge Area #6.
Immediately after an incident, the Emergency Coordinator shall make arrangements for the
treatment, storage, or disposal of recovered hazardous waste or any other contaminated material.
For hazardous waste incidents requiring implementation of the Contingency Plan, the Emergency
Coordinator must ensure that in the affected areas of the facility:
No waste that may be incompatible with the released material is treated, stored, or
disposed of until cleanup procedures are completed.
M.18
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
All emergency equipment is cleaned and fit for its intended use before operations are
resumed.
The EPA Regional Administrator, the Commissioner of the DEEP, and appropriate local
authorities must be notified that the facility is in compliance with the above before operations are
resumed. Details of the Contingency Plan incident must be recorded in the facility operating
record. Post-incident written notification requirements are described in Section 5 – Reporting
Requirements.
Hamilton Sundstrand maintains fire-fighting and spill response equipment located throughout the
HWF. Portable fire suppression systems are located throughout the building, along with fire
hoses capable of delivering water. The main fire suppression system located in the building is
classified as a “wet” system which delivers water to heat activated sprinkler heads located in the
ceiling of the office, Packaging Room, and Flammable Room.
The equipment description/capabilities and locations of the equipment are listed in Table 2.
HWF personnel are familiar with all equipment and locations. The emergency equipment is
inspected on a weekly basis. Upon completion of response actions for a release or spill, all non-
disposable personal protective equipment and spill cleanup equipment must be decontaminated
and readied for reuse and depleted stocks of neutralizing/absorbing materials must be replenished
and protective clothing cleaned or replaced. Any emergency equipment that has been damaged
beyond repair must be replaced.
The Emergency Coordinator must visually inspect all emergency equipment, after it has been
decontaminated to ensure cleanliness and proper operation. The decontamination solution and
the rinse waters shall be collected for proper disposal. The container of decontamination fluids
must be sealed, labeled, and stored in the HWF in accordance with Hamilton Sundstrand’s,
Hazardous Waste Facility Procedure and, Site Waste Management Procedure. The Emergency
Coordinator will also manage the reordering of disposable personal protective equipment and
spill cleanup equipment consumed as a result of the response actions for a release or spill.
M.19
HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT
In accordance with RCRA regulations, the Emergency Coordinator must note the time, date, and
details of any incident that requires the implementation of the Contingency Plan. Incidents
requiring Plan implementation will be recorded in the log provided as Appendix D. In addition,
the Emergency Coordinator must submit a written report to the Regional Administrator (EPA
Region 1) within 15 days of the incident. The report must include:
Date, time, location, and type of incident (e.g., oil, chemical, or hazardous waste release,
fire, etc.);
Assessment of possible hazards to human health or the environment outside the facility;
Incidents which require reporting under RCRA are also reportable to the State Emergency
Response Commission (SERC) at 860-424-3373 and the National Response Center (NRC) at
(800) 424-8802. A report to the local fire department is also recommended.
In the event of an incident requiring implementation of the Contingency Plan, including injury,
fire, evacuation, or a major spill, Emergency Services personnel must make internal notifications
in accordance with Hamilton Sundstrand’s Integrated Contingency Plan.
The Emergency Coordinator will report any spill which occurs at the facility to the DEEP,
Emergency Response Unit, by calling 860-424-3338 or 1-866-DEP-SPIL (1-866-337-7745). A

CLOSURE PLAN AND FINANCIAL ASSURANCE
Q1 INTRODUCTION
Q1a Purpose
This document is a facility Closure Plan for various regulated units at the Hamilton
Sundstrand Corporation facility, located in Windsor Locks, Connecticut (“the
facility”). The EPA Identification number for this facility is CTD001145341. This
Closure Plan is provided in accordance with the requirements for a Part B Permit
application, as presented at 40 CFR 270.14 and 264 and 265 (Subpart G). This
document was prepared using the Connecticut Department of Energy &
Environmental Protection (CTDEEP) “Draft RCRA Closure Plan Guidance for
Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities Container Storage Areas and Tank
Systems” as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) “Regulatory
Completeness Checklist for Hazardous Waste Storage, Treatment and Disposal
Facilities.” The completeness checklist is presented as Exhibit Q-1. A figure
developed by CTDEEP that illustrates the anticipated steps for closure of HWSAs
are provided in Exhibit Q-2.
The regulated units are those which are subject to Part B permitting, including
waste container management/storage areas, the staging area, waste tanks, a waste
compactor, J-Lot area and unloading/loading areas. These regulated units, all of
which are located at Hamilton Sundstrand’s Hazardous Waste Facility (HWF), are
described in detail in the Part B Permit.
Q1b Scope
(c) complies with the closure requirements of this subpart, including, but
not limited to, the requirements of 264.178, 264.197, 264.310 and
264.601 through 264.603.
Connecticut DEEP has provided a draft guidance document to facilitate the closure
process. The guidance document is a 3-part program, and is designed to facilitate
decision-making during actual closure. Ultimately, the principal decision that must
be rendered is whether clean closure or contingent closure (i.e., “closure as a
landfill”) should occur. The manner of closure will be determined at the time of
closure. For planning purposes, CTDEEP suggests that clean closure is presumed.

Prior to 1944, land that is now occupied by Hamilton Sundstrand was used for
residential and agricultural purposes. In 1944 the State of Connecticut purchased
this plot of land. The United States Army then purchased a large portion of the
property and occupied it between 1944 and 1945. The US Army utilized the land as
a base for military and personnel equipment and as a training camp. In 1951, most
of the military base was purchased by United Aircraft Corporation (later named
United Technologies in 1975) for use by Hamilton Standard. Facility construction
occurred between 1952 and 1953. During the time frame between 1952 and 1958,
surrounding property was purchased from private landowners to maintain the
growing facility. In 1999 Hamilton Standard merged with The Sundstrand
Corporation thus creating a new corporate entity, Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation.
UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS) was formed in August 2012 when parent United
Technologies Corporation (UTC) merged existing subsidiary Hamilton Sundstrand
with Goodrich Corporation. In 2018, UTC acquired Rockwell Collins, and merged
with UTAS to form Collins Aerospace. Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation is currently
operating as Collins Aerospace.
The facility consists of four large buildings (Buildings 1, 1A, 2, and 3) and several
smaller buildings including the Hot Fuel Lab, Customer Service School, Fuel Cell
Management Building, Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility, and Plating
Facility. Buildings 1 and 2 are the main facilities where manufacturing, shipping and
receiving, assembly and test, and engineering occurs. Buildings 1A and 3 are used
primarily as office space. The HWF is located in the southern part of the property,
west of the former Building 2A Pad. A site map is provided as Figure Q-2.
3
facility’s geographic coordinates are approximately 42 degrees, 55 minutes, 35
seconds north latitude (41˚ 55’ 35”N) and 72 degrees, 41 minutes, 35 seconds west
longitude (72˚ 41’ 35”W). The facility is bounded in the north by Schoephoester
Road on the south by Route 20, and on the east by Hamilton Road. The northern
boundary is land occupied by Bradley International Airport and the southern,
eastern, and western boundaries consists of private residential land.
Topography
The topography at the facility is terraced with the highest elevation (approximately
170 feet, above mean sea level or msl) at the northern extent of the facility, adjacent
to Bradley International Airport. The lowest elevation (approximately 85 feet, above
mean sea level) is at the southern extent of the facility, adjacent to Rainbow Road.
The highest terrace forms a plateau that contains Buildings 1 and 2, (including the
Hazardous Waste Facility) and the associated parking areas and access roads.
Topographic elevations decrease sharply towards the southern extent of the
property near Building 3. Drainage ravines transect the terraces in a south-
southeast orientation. The west branch of Seymour Hollow ravine is situated along
the western border of the facility. Rainbow Brook ravine is situated along the
western border of the facility, and a small valley associated with an unnamed
intermittent stream (Unnamed Stream) originates at the approximate center of the
site and continues south. Steep slopes are also found along the eastern and
western shores of Watts Pond, located along the west side of the site (Dames &
Moore, 1992).
As illustrated on Figure Q-1, there are four surface water bodies located at or near
the facility and include: Rainbow Brook, Seymour Hollow Brook, “Unnamed
Stream”, and Watts Pond. The water body nearest to the HWF is Watts Pond. Watts
Pond is a manmade pond created in 1965 with a total surface area of 5.75± acres.
Rainbow Brook is located on the western side of the facility. The headwaters are
located northwest of the facility in the vicinity of Bradley International Airport. The
brook then flows in a southerly direction along the western border of the property.
The brook fans out into separate channels before emptying into Watts Pond. These
stream channels discharge into Watts Pond at various locations. The Rainbow
Brook exits at the southeastern portion of Watts Pond and continues to flow in a
southern direction where it eventually empties into the Farmington River.
Seymour Hollow Brook, which also originates in the vicinity of Bradley International
Airport, runs along the eastern portion of the property and flows in a southerly
direction and converges with Rainbow Brook just south of the facility before
emptying into the Farmington River.
The headwaters of the “Unnamed Stream” is situated approximately 250 feet south
of Building 2. It flows south for a distance of 1,700 feet before it merges with
Rainbow Brook just south of the property.

Groundwater
Two aquifers have been identified within the vicinity of the facility and include: 1) an
overburden (surficial) aquifer composed of unconsolidated glacial and post-glacial
sediments, and 2) a bedrock aquifer. A layer of glacial till separates the two
aquifers (Dames & Moore, 1992).
The nearest water supply wells are owned by others are located off-site and are
approximately 4,500 feet east of the HWF.
Geology
The depth to groundwater ranges from 29 to 55 feet with an average of 41.5 feet.
The soil in this area is classified as poorly graded fine to medium sand. Although
clayey type soils are not abundant on the site, silt and clay horizons are found in
this area. Silt/clay seams range in thickness of0.5 to 3 feet, and are encountered at
depths of less than 10 feet to over 50 feet below grade (Dames & Moore, 1992).
A layout of the HWF is provided as Figure Q-3. The facility consists of a raised,
rectangular, concrete pad (approximately 2 feet above ground level) and measures
approximately 120 feet by 160 feet. The perimeter of the facility is surrounded by a
berm and fence. A roof covers the whole facility. Areas within the HWF include an
office, locker/shower room, packaging area, shipping/receiving area, aboveground
tank area and waste storage areas. The entire facility is roofed. The office,
locker/shower room and packaging areas are totally enclosed. A description of each
area is provided in the following sections.
The hazardous waste container storage area has a maximum storage capacity of
55,000 gallons (including containerized waste located in the staging area).
Containerized wastes are stored on racks segregated into the following groups:
Ignitables/Combustibles, Toxics/Burnables, Toxics/Sludges, Toxics/Soils, and
Toxics/Aqueous.
Within the storage area are the loading/unloading and the staging areas. The
loading/unloading areas are utilized to load and unload wastes. The staging area is
used to stage wastes while in transition to either the container storage area or
packaged for offsite shipment.
The HWF also houses four 15 feet by 10 feet, 500-gallon capacity, heated, self-
contained, moveable hazardous waste storage sheds to segregate incompatible
wastes. The segregated wastes stored in the sheds are as follows: acids, alkaline
wastes, PCB/Isocyanate type wastes, and water-based wastes. Two cabinets to
store and segregate small containerized wastes are also situated within the
hazardous waste storage area and include; the lab pack cabinets situated on the
north side of the building near the PCB/Isocyanate shed and the flammable cabinet
located in the flammable room on the southern side of the facility.
A refrigerator is also utilized to store and segregate small containers of wastes that
are temperature sensitive and for samples being sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Wastes that are to be transferred from their original containers to the bulk storage
tanks are brought into the Packaging Room, a part of the HWF. In the Packaging
Room, liquid wastes are pumped out of the individual drums into the bulk tanks.
Pumping is performed in accordance with a Hamilton Sundstrand empty drum
procedure until the drums are “RCRA empty.” After pumping is finished, the RCRA
empty drums are moved to and stored in the Used Empties Storage Trailer located
6
at the HWF. At final disposition, the used empty drums are sent to an outside drum-
reclamation facility.
Record drawings of the HWF are provided in the Part B permit application. A berm
(installed as secondary containment) surrounds the perimeter of the storage area
including the virgin material storage area. Both areas share the same concrete pad
but the virgin product storage area has its own containment system. A roof covers
the entire HWF as well as a poly tarp which shields the northern side of the facility
along the “virgin product storage” area. The tank storage area and the HWF are
separated by a concrete wall on the south side of the facility.
The lower base of the storage area consists of a concrete floor slab overlain by a
compacted washed sand layer. Above the sand layer is a 60-mil HDPE impervious
protective liner. This liner is covered with a layer of compacted washed sand
followed by an eight-inch concrete slab. The concrete is coated with an epoxy
sealant. Floor sections of the HWF are graded/sloped to control run-off.
There are nine observation wells located throughout the Hazardous Waste Facility.
The wells are constructed of a 4-inch diameter 20-slot PVC screen and riser. The
upper portion of the well is encased in an epoxy-coated watertight seal
manhole/vault with a width of 12¼ inches.
Hamilton Sundstrand bulks waste in two aboveground storage tanks (Tank 121A
and 121B) located in a roofed structure extending from the HWF just south of the
packaging room. The tanks were installed in June of 1994. Both tanks are
horizontal, cylindrical, double wall, steel with 100% containment capacity within the
interstitial spacing. The outside of the tanks are fiberglass coated to a minimum
thickness of 100- mil for corrosion protection (all exposed steel surfaces, including
tank appurtenances, are coated with approximately 8-mil of epoxy coating). The
tanks have a capacity of 6,000 gallons each and are 12.5 feet in length and 9.0 feet
in diameter.
Tank 121B holds combustible liquids such as used oils. Typical materials stored in
Tank 121B consist of liquid wastes with high flash points such as alcohol based
cleaners, preservative oils, and various cutting, lubrication and hydraulic oils. Tank
121B is designed to hold RCRA regulated hazardous wastes but is used to hold
both non-hazardous and combustible wastes which are sent off-site for used oil
recycling.
Both tanks are batch fed and wastes are manually added to the tanks from
containers through pump stations (one pump station for the non-hazardous tank
and one for the combustible tank) located inside the packaging room. The pump
7
station in the flammable room was removed during the partial closure of Tank 121A.
During loading and unloading operations, an operator is always present. Double
wall containment piping is implemented as a secondary containment precaution.
The primary pipes are constructed of steel while the secondary pipes are
constructed of fiberglass reinforced epoxy. All piping runs to leak detection sumps.
Any liquid accumulated within the interstitial space is able to drain freely into the
leak detection sumps.
The tanks are separated from the rest of the HWF by a masonry fire barrier wall.
The wall is made of 8-inch concrete blocks and stands 10 feet tall.
The rectangular perimeter of the storage area that houses the two tanks consists of
a fence and a fire retardant poly tarp installed on the north, south and west sides of
the tank area. The perimeter of the area is also surrounded by a 1- foot, 6-inch cast
in place concrete berm.
The tanks are atop a 7-inch thick raised pad (same elevation as the HWF)
measuring 40 feet by 20 feet. The 12- inch thick reinforced concrete pad and berm
are coated with an epoxy sealant. Both are installed over a 60-mil high density
polyethylene (HDPE) liner. This is the same HDPE liner that covers the whole area
of the HWF.
Q2c Compactor
The waste compactor is located in the packaging room of the HWF and is used to
compact wastes into a drums. The main waste is rags and debris contaminated with
paints, solvents, coolants and oils. The compactor measures approximately 4 feet
wide by 7 feet high by 3 feet deep. The exhaust is vented to a carbon canister for
air emission control.
The J-Lot Area is located on the southern end of the HWF. Several activities are
performed in the J-Lot Area, including: non-flammable compressed gas storage (in
locked cage); and non-RCRA hazardous waste roll-off storage.
Q3 CLOSURE APPROACH
Once it is decided that closure should commence, the condition of the regulated
units will be assessed to determine whether a release to the surrounding
environment could have potentially occurred. This determination will consist of
inspection of the structural integrity of each unit. If the structural integrity is
acceptable, site characterization for the regulated units will be limited to the
structure. However, if the structural integrity is determined to be inadequate, then
characterization of the surrounding soils will be performed.
8
developed using Part 1 of the ”Draft RCRA Closure Plan Guidance for Treatment,
Storage and Disposal Facilities Container Storage Areas and Tank Systems.”
Closure activities for both the container storage area and tank systems are
discussed in Section Q4.
Corrective Action activities are a component of the current Part B permit. Hamilton
Sundstrand is working in conjunction with CT DEEP and EPA to investigate and
remediate historic operations. One of the areas listed is the former Hazardous
Waste Storage Area, identified as Solid Waste Management Unit 3 (SWMU 3). The
Closure Approach focuses on the current HWF. SWMU 3 will be addressed once
closure of the current HWF has been implemented. Historic sampling results from
SWMU 3 are available on file at Hamilton Sundstrand and at the CT DEEP.
Constituents of Concern identified through the above noted processes will be listed
along with associated potential human exposure pathways and appropriate risk or
health based standards. These standards will be used as the Media Closure
Criteria (MCC) for this Closure Plan. Risk and health based standards will be
developed from Connecticut Remediation Standard Regulations (RSRs), found at
RCSA 22a-133K-1 through -3, for exposure through ingestion and the USEPA Risk-
based Compounds (RBC) Table for exposure through inhalation. Dermal exposure
risk will be based on the RBC lists for industrial soil. Consistent with the RSRs, only
those Constituents of Concern (COCs) identified as Volatile Organic Compounds
(Henry’s Law Constant greater than 10-5 and Molecular Weight less than 200) will
be evaluated for environmental and human risk through an inhalation pathway.
CTDEEP will be notified at least 45 days prior to initiation of actual closure activities.
Closure of the hazardous waste storage area and the two storage tanks will involve
decontamination and removal of equipment and structures.
At closure initiation, the hazardous waste inventory will be removed from the facility
and properly disposed of at a RCRA regulated facility. The maximum inventory
volume would be 55,000 gallons based on design; however, it is not anticipated that
Hamilton Sundstrand will store that quantity of waste. Additional waste inventory
includes the volume of two 6,000 gallon tanks of waste (Tanks 121A and 121B),
and other non-hazardous wastes (J-Lot roll-off, non-flammable compressed gas
cylinders, and universal wastes).
Once the waste inventory is removed, the integrity of the concrete floor will be
assessed by visual inspection. The inspection will be performed consistent with the
EPA’s Technical Guidance (EPA/530/R-93/005) “Determining the Integrity of
Concrete Sumps.” The inspector will look for deterioration and/or cracks which may
have resulted in failure of the floor and exposure of underlying soils. The inspection
will include identification of significant stains and floor pitting. If cracking or other
signs of deterioration are identified, it will be concluded that a release had the
9
potential to impact the subsurface, and that further investigations are warranted.
To facilitate this portion of the Structural Integrity Assessment, records of any repair
work performed in the Hazardous Waste Facility area will be permanently entered
into the operating record of the facility. These records will be used to support the
conclusion that the flooring was maintained in a good condition.
During the initial assessment, the nine observation wells located throughout the
HWF will be opened to determine whether any liquids have accumulated beneath
the floor. If liquid has accumulated at any of the wells, a sample will be collected
and analyzed for the parameters identified on Table Q-2.
If any constituents are detected above naturally occurring levels, it will be concluded
that a release has occurred and that further investigations are warranted. Therefore,
investigations into the floor subsurface may occur if signs of a release or the
potential for a release to have occurred are evident. Investigations would consist of
concrete chip sampling, soil sampling, and could lead to concrete and soil removal.
Tank system integrity assessment will be conducted to determine whether the tank
system could have leaked. The assessment will include, at a minimum, a review of
the leak detection monitoring records. If the test results show the tank system could
not have leaked, subsurface soils will not be investigated for presence or extent of
contamination. The completed integrity assessment will be appended to the closure
plan.
This Closure Plan presumes that the initial assessment at the time of closure will
not result in the need for further investigations. This presumption is made because
(1) the tanks and floor near loading/unloading areas are inspected daily and the
remaining portions of the HWF are visually inspected weekly, consistent with 40
CFR 264.15 and 264.174, and (2) the floor is coated with a chemical-resistant and
impervious epoxy that is routinely maintained. However, if at the time of closure
evidence of an actual or potential release of waste is observed, the CTDEEP will be
notified and a Sampling Characterization Work Plan will be developed. The
purpose of the work plan will be to outline the steps to achieve clean closure at the
facility.
Q4 CLOSURE ACTIVITIES
Waste stored within Tanks 121A and Tank 121B will be removed using vacuum
trucks. Any remaining waste residues within the tanks may require the aid of
mechanical agitators, additional rinsing with water, and manual labor for full
removal. After removal of all waste inventories, each tank and its lines (along with
storage pads and containment berms) will be pressure washed with non-phosphate
detergent solvent followed by a triple rinse. To facilitate rinsing, a high pressure
spray-head or spray-wand will be operated aggressively to direct rinsing solution to
all hard to reach areas. Each rinse solution may be increased in strength and used
10
where heavy residue build-up is suspected. Piping and other appurtenances will be
decontaminated by triple flushing.
Once cleaning and rinsing has been performed, the tank interiors will be visually
inspected to determine whether any materials remain in the tanks. Further pressure
washing will occur, if necessary, based on visual inspection until it is observed to be
visually clean or it is determined that further power washing is likely to be
ineffective. If possible, the tank interiors will be photographed to document
cleaning. It is estimated that a maximum of 600 gallons of wastewater per tank will
be generated during pressure washing and rinsing.
Wash and rinse waters will be collected and characterized for off-site disposal. The
resulting water is expected to be non-hazardous due to the non-hazardous nature of
the materials stored.
Once cleaning is complete, it is anticipated that each tank system will be dismantled
as disposed as scrap metal. A Bill-of-Lading will be used to document the amount of
scrap metal generated and recycled. Sampling handling procedures are described
in Section Q5.
Most of the containers in the HWF are stored on racks. Additionally, there are four
portable storage sheds used to isolate incompatible wastes and a cage in the J-Lot
area. The racks, sheds and cage will be decontaminated by power washing using a
non-phosphate detergent, followed by triple rinsing.
Partial closure of the hazardous waste compactor was completed in August 2015.
An in-kind compactor was installed within the same footprint of the HWF. The
compactor will be power washed, but may also require wiping and scraping to
remove any gross contamination. Once decontamination has been completed, each
cleaned unit will be visually inspected for any staining. If staining is observed, an
attempt will be made to further remove the stain by using a bristle brush. If the
bristle brush is not effective, no further cleaning will be attempted.
Floor surfaces surrounding fixed equipment will be isolated by means of tarp berms
or adsorbent pillows to containerize and collect cleaning and rinse waters. Small,
moveable, or portable equipment such as secondary containment pallets will be
moved to a central decontamination area that will be similarly isolated by means of
berms and tarps. Pressure washing, triple rinsing, and separate collection of wash
and rinse water will be employed. Wash water and rinse water will be collected
separately as the wash water will be expected to have contamination levels higher
than the rinse water. The final rinse will be analyzed for the COCs. If the results of
the analysis are less than the MCC, the final rinse will demonstrate the
decontamination. If the final rinse has levels of COCs above the MCC, additional
pressure washing and rinsing will occur with analysis of the rinsate until it is
11
determined that further cleaning will not provide a beneficial result. The wash and
rinse water itself will be vacuum collected and analyzed for the Constituents of
Concern. If the results of the analysis are less than the MCC, the water will be
classified as non-hazardous waste. Otherwise, the water will be classified as a
hazardous or non-hazardous waste and disposed of properly.
The concrete floor surface has an epoxy sealant, including the packaging area, rack
storage area, tank area, staging area, and loading and unloading areas, and the J-
Lot area. Decontamination of the Hazardous Waste Facility will consist of pressure
washing the floor with a non-phosphate detergent. The floor will also be rinsed with
clean water following pressure washing activities. Floor surfaces will be isolated by
means of tarp berms or adsorbent pillows to containerize and collect cleaning and
rinse waters. Wash water and rinse water will be collected separately as the wash
water will be expected to have contamination levels higher than the rinse water.
The final rinse will be analyzed for the COCs. If the final rinse has levels of COCs
above the MCC, additional pressure washing and rinsing will occur with analysis of
the rinsate until it is determined that further cleaning will not provide a beneficial
result. Wash and rinse waters will be collected using a wet vacuum and transferred
into appropriate containers.
The floor of the Hazardous Waste Facility is maintained with epoxy sealant
therefore, no failure is expected to have occurred. However, CTDEEP requires that
sampling of the floor should occur to verify that a release did not occur. Therefore,
following decontamination, concrete chip sampling will occur using a hammer drill.
At this time, it is envisioned that approximately 50 discrete samples will be collected
from throughout the storage portion of the HWF. The number of samples is based
on the area where hazardous wastes are currently stored, plus a lesser number of
samples for other open areas (including the J-Lot area). The locations where the
samples will be collected will be determined at the time of closure, and will likely be
both randomly and judgmentally determined. The samples will be analyzed for the
COCs listed in Table Q-2. However, samples with the highest probability of
contamination, such as samples from stained areas will be analyzed for COCs
12
defined in in 40CFR Part 264 Appendix IX (less pesticides, herbicides, insecticides,
fungicides, rodenticides, dioxins and furans). Additionally, background concrete
chip samples may be collected to account for the inherent concentration of metals
typically found in concrete.
The sample results will be compared to the MCC listed on Table Q-2 and to
background. Should results be found greater than these criteria, the extent of the
release will be ascertained, which may necessitate sampling of the soil below the
surface. Also, concrete scarification and removal may occur at certain sections of
the facility. These decisions will be made once the results of the sampling effort
have been received and evaluated, and in consultation with CTDEEP.
Precautions will be taken so that safe conditions are maintained for those engaged
in closure activities. The contractor performing closure activities will certify that the
provisions of Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) as amended have been
followed. A Health and Safety Plan for the RCRA closure activities will be required
of the contractor pursuant to the OSHA regulatory requirements found in 29 CFR
1920.120.
During closure there will be contact between the regulated materials and both
equipment and personnel conducting the closure activities. Therefore, equipment
and personnel must be decontaminated.
Removal of concrete and soil are not anticipated. However, if required, the
procedure for equipment decontamination will consist of two steps: (1) physically
removing as much material as possible and (2) pressure washing or steam-cleaning
the equipment to remove any remaining materials. All residual material will be
containerized and disposed of appropriately. Water generated during the pressure
washing or steam-cleaning process will be collected in a polyethylene lined basin
and removed using a dedicated bucket and/or pump. The wash water will be
containerized and disposed of appropriately.
Personnel equipment in contact with material from the regulated unit will be
decontaminated by washing with a non-phosphate soap solution and rinsing with
tap water. The wash water will be collected, characterized and managed and
disposed of accordingly.
Expendable items (i.e., Tyvek suits, gloves) will also be containerized, characterized
and managed and disposed of accordingly. In addition, the polyethylene sheets
used for decontamination activities will be containerized and disposed of
appropriately.
13
decontamination of equipment. Photographs taken to document closure will be
submitted as part of closure certification.
Wash waters and rinse waters will be characterized and transported off-site for
disposal by a licensed transporter to a permitted facility to be determined at the time
of closure. If the wastewater sampling results from a particular wastestream are
less than the MCC, the wastewater from that wastestream will be classified as non-
hazardous. Otherwise, the wastewater will be properly characterized (as hazardous
or non-hazardous waste), managed appropriately on-site, and disposed of at a
licensed facility.
As previously mentioned, the tanks, compactor, racks, storage sheds and other
appurtenances will be managed as scrap metal. A Bill-of-Lading for the scrap metal
will be obtained to document removal and disposal.
Other waste that will be generated from the decontamination and confirmatory
sampling of the regulated units include personal protective equipment (PPE). This
material will be containerized and will be discarded as a hazardous waste once
closure has been completed.
Samples collected will be analyzed for the COCs identified for each of the
respective regulated units. Samples will be analyzed in accordance with the
procedures identified in SW-846. The EPA method numbers for all COCs are
presented on Table Q-2. The table also indicates the parameter holding times, the
type of sample container for each parameter, preservative, and the detection limit
range. Samples with the highest probability of contamination, such as samples from
stained areas, will be analyzed for COCs defined in 40 CFR Part 264 Appendix IX
(except for pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides, dioxins and
furans).
14
Samples at each sampling location will be given a unique identifying number. A
sample label will be affixed to each sample container at the time of collection to
prevent sample misidentification. Information recorded on the sample label will
include: (1) Sample identification number, (2) Client/project name and location, (3)
Date and time of sample collection, (4) Sample preservatives, and (5) identification
of sampler.
Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocols will be followed in the field
and laboratory in accordance with the SW-846 of latest revision. The director of the
certified laboratory performing the analysis will perform data validation and
document quality control per SW-846.
Each quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) sample will be given its own sample
number. The identity of these samples will be withheld from the laboratory
conducting the analysis.
Trip/Equipment Blanks
The purpose of the trip and equipment blanks is to determine whether samples
and/or sampling equipment have been exposed to contaminants.
The trip blank will be prepared by the laboratory which supplies the sample
containers and ultimately analyzes the samples. Sample containers for each
parameter will be filled with laboratory de-ionized water. The trip blanks will
accompany the sample containers from the time that they leave the lab until the
time that they are returned to the lab for analysis. The trip blank will then be
submitted, unopened, to the lab as if it had been collected in the field. One trip
blank per day will be submitted for those days when aqueous samples are
collected. The equipment blanks will be prepared using laboratory supplied de-
ionized water and sample containers.

Q6 QUALITY ASSURANCE DURING CLOSURE ACTIVITIES
Hamilton Sundstrand will provide an on-site inspector familiar with both the facility
and the plans and specifications for closure. The inspector will be present during all
phases of closure activities and will monitor closure activities and document
satisfactory completion of all phases of the work.
The QA/QC program for closure activities at the facility will be implemented by an
independent professional engineer to be selected at the time when closure activities
are implemented. All aspects of the closure activities will be monitored and
coordinated by the professional engineer or his/her designated representative. The
professional engineer or the designated representative will act as the QA/QC
Coordinator.
Verification that all raw data are interpreted correctly. This includes all
laboratory analytical data from samples collected and submitted for analysis.
Periodic and routine visits will be made to the site during the closure period to
observe closure activities and inspect the adequacy of all work. The QA/QC
Coordinator will, at a minimum, observe each individual stage and item of work.
The Coordinator will also review all documentation collected at the facility at the
time of each inspection. The date and results of each inspection will be recorded by
the certified Coordinator in a log book at the facility.
17
At this time, the identification of the remediation contractor who will implement the
closure activities is unknown. Once Hamilton Sundstrand has notified the
regulatory agencies of its intent to close the regulated units, and has obtained
approval for this closure plan, it is anticipated that Hamilton Sundstrand will perform
any remediation activities necessary to close the regulated units under the guidance
of an independent registered Professional Engineer.
Q7 DOCUMENTATION
Proper documentation of all QA/QC activities will facilitate the final certification of
closure and will provide Hamilton Sundstrand with a permanent record of the
closure activities. Documentation will include the following:
g. QA/QC results for any construction materials brought on-site and left in
place to facilitate closure.
Q8 SECURITY
Road access to the southern edge of the facility is along State Route 20, to the
north it is along Hamilton Road, and the east it is along Cargo Road. State Route 20
is located adjacent to the property line and carries the largest volume of traffic of
any road in the area. From all of these entrances, traffic enters onto site roads and
to parking areas. All roads are well maintained and traffic delays usually are not
encountered. Access to internal site roads is controlled by manned access control
points.
18
The facility has a 24-hour surveillance system that provides continuous security for
all of its operations. Security is provided by a number of factors including a fence
around the entire site, closed-circuit television monitoring, and a 24-hour guard
service that controls personnel and vehicular access to the site. Guard posts, and
general and restricted traffic patterns are outlined in Figure Q-2.
The closure cost projection will be kept on file at the facility, and will be revised
annually or whenever changes in the closure activities or closure plan increase the
cost of closure. If, during a calendar year, the closure cost estimates are not
affected by changes in closure activities, the closure cost estimates will be adjusted
to reflect changes brought about by economic inflation. The Department of
Commerce’s Annual Implicit Price Deflator for Gross National Product will be used
to make this adjustment.
The regulations specified in 40 CFR 264.113 present time limits for completion of
closure activities. The time limit is 180 days from receipt of the closure approval by
the regulatory agencies. A schedule of closure will be provided prior to
implementation of closure activities. It is anticipated at this time that closure for
each of the regulated units will be achieved within 180 days of the beginning of
closure activities, or 180 days after the closure plan is approved, whichever is later.
Notification of closure will be provided at least 45 days prior to the start of closure
activities. Table Q-4 shows the proposed schedule of individual closure activities.
As stated previously, for planning purposes the anticipated closure date is January
1, 2035.
Financial assurance during the closure period is required per 40 CFR § 264.143, as
incorporated per RCSA § 22a-449(c)-104(a)(1) and (a)(2). Financial assurance is a
mechanism established and made available to the CTDEEP to assure closure of the
facility. Hamilton Sundstrand has established a letter of credit, supported by a
standby trust agreement, in an amount consistent the current calculated closure
cost estimate included in Exhibit Q-3. Hamilton Sundstrand will continue to annually
adjust this closure cost estimate, and letter of credit as necessary, for inflation per
19
40 CFR § 264.142, as incorporated per RCSA § 22a-449(c)-104(a)(1) and (a)(2).
Hamilton Sundstrand will continue to annually submit a summary of the current
closure and post-closure cost estimates to CTDEEP.
Copies of the above-referenced letter of credit and the standby trust agreement can
be found in Attachment R. The CTDEEP holds the original letter of credit and
standby trust agreement, which also cover the current calculated post-closure cost
estimate. The CTDEEP also holds the original payment bond covering third-party
liability per 40 CFR § 264.147, as incorporated per RCSA § 22a-449(c)-104(a)(1)
and (a)(2). A copy of which can also be found in Attachment R.
