Scenario 5

 Lead batteries will be reintroduced into the City of Atlantis due to a

major Tsunami that occurred 2 days ago. This is the only available
source of energy for the are. This is a disaster zone. The government

Before the
operation
1. Inform the public about the
use of Lead Battery as an
alternative energy source.
2. Calculate the number of
units of lead batteries to be
used during the operation.
3. Designate a full-time
Pollution Control Officer
that will be responsible for
the day-to-day
management of generated
in the facility.
Pollution Control
Officer
He/She has an appropriate
competency to manage
waste, be form of education,
experience and training. The
same criteria are required for
those personnel working
directly with the hazardous
substance.
Shall have emergency
contingency plan

Objectives:
1. The Contingency Program is
developed and designed to
mitigate and combat spills
involving chemical substances
and hazardous waste.
2. The program assures its nearby
communities on the emergency
preparedness and response
capacity of lead battery facilities.
Contingency Plan
1. Types of potential emergencies arising
from waste handling, storage, and
treatment and disposal
2. Emergency preparedness and
response including response to fire,
explosion, spill, loss of electricity,
evacuation, natural catastrophes, civil
disturbance, war, and other cases of
force majeure.
3. Health and safety plan
4. Personnel protective equipment
5. Decontamination procedures
6. Incident command system
 Storage Facilities

1. Be accessible in case of
emergency and for the purpose of
inspection and monitoring
2. Be enclosed but adequately
ventilated
3. Have floor that have impermeable
to liquids and resistant to attack by
chemicals, not slippery, and
constructed to retain spillages
4. Be properly secured and not easily
accessed by authorized person
5. Emergency response equipment
Proper
Labeling

Class 8 – Corrosive
I. In good condition without leaks
and damage
II. Made from materials suitable for
characteristics of the waste to be
stored
III. Concentrated acids, bases, and
other similar waste, are placed
back in their original glass
containers, and placed in their
original foam packaging.
IV. Equipped with a strong lid or cap
to prevent spillage

operation
Steps in the recycling process
Almost all parts of a lead-acid battery
can be recycled. The main steps in the
recycling process are as follows:
1. collection and transportation of the
batteries to a recycling facility
2. separation of the component parts of
the batteries
3. smelting and refining of the lead
components
4. washing then shredding or melting of
the plastic components
5. purification and treatment of the
sulfuric acid electrolyte
6. treatment and disposal of waste
