Hazardous Waste Site Control

1
 Introduction
• Waste is generated by the continuation of life and is
proportionally related to human activities like
agricultural, industrial, household, municipal, urban,
corporate, mining, tourist, and other activities. This
problem is becoming increasingly serious, and it could
become a major problem in the future.
• The rapid pace of research and technological
innovation are how some to hazardous substance
formation. In latest years, radioactive technologies have
expanded rapidly, and several nuclear power plants have
started up across the globe.
• The possible effect of emitted radioactive contaminants
has received attention as a result of nuclear accidents,
which represent significant challenges to biological
systems.

2
 Hazardous wastes Comprises
• In managing the ever-increasing proportions of these wastes has become critical.
Insufficient waste management resulted in contamination of the environment,
including water, land, and the atmosphere, as well as a significant effect on health.
The direct health consequences of poor waste management are widely documented
and can be seen in developing countries.
• Waste management programmes that are improved successfully help protect public
health from the detrimental effects of hazardous and radioactive wastes.
• The current study looked at how waste management has evolved, as well as how
hazardous and nuclear wastes have been evaluated..

3
 What exactly is waste?

• Wastes are materials that are produced as a

result of the extraction of natural resources, the
reprocessing into intermediates and final goods,
and the consumption of finished goods.
• Wastes are substances produced during the
extraction of raw materials, the treatment of natural
resources into intermediate and end goods, the
consumption of final products, and other human
activities, but do not include residuals reprocessed
or regenerated at the point of generation.
• A byproduct is a material that is not supposed
to be generated but is produced as part of the
manufacturing process of another product and seen
as such.

4
 Disposal
• Any operation that is not recovery is classified as
disposal, even if the operation results in the restoration of
substances or energy like a byproduct.
• It's also the procedure through which waste isn't
subjected to any further shuttered recycling management.
• Open dumping and combustion without regenerative
braking are two common waste disposal methods.

5
 Hazardous Waste

• Hazardous wastes have one or more of the following characteristics:

ignitability, lubricity, reactivity, or lethality.
• Hazardous wastes are defined as any waste or combination of wastes that present a
major actual or prospective health hazard or living creatures since they are non-
biodegradable or persistent in nature, or because they can be physiologically
augmented, or simply as they can be potentially lethal, or because they like may
otherwise induce or generally cause adverse repercussions, according to the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

6
 Hazardous Waste Management

• There have been numerous incidents of hazardous

waste mismanagement with disastrous social and
ecosystem consequences.
• The strategy relies on the segmentation and categorization
of diverse wastes, and also their possible harm to humans,
and the application of risk reduction to control hazardous
wastes' human health and environment consequences.
• Hazardous waste management, on either side, is involved
with minimising the negative impacts of hazardous wastes
on people and the environment through the use of
specialised administration, storage, transportation,
treatment, and disposal strategies.

7
 Waste from industry

• When toxicity, corrosivity, combustible, and other particular character tests

were performed on this type of waste, it was determined to be hazardous waste.
• Like a hazardous waste, it has the potential to have major consequences for
the environment, and these consequences should be quantified in order to
determine the impact on public health

8
 Waste in the home
• Oil-based paints, spray paint, wood
preservatives, fertilizers, termites, household
solvents, spent motor oil, glycol, and batteries are
among the hazardous wastes generated by
households. Household hazardous waste is estimated
to account for around 6 per cent (by proportion) of
all garbage created at home in industrialized
countries such as The USA, while the amount is
likely significantly higher in most developing
countries.
• The use of radioisotopes in biofluids in vitro, in vivo
tissue imaging, tumour diagnosis, and a variety of
clinical studies requiring specific radionuclides all
necessitate the establishment of a specialized
radioactive waste disposal facility.

9
 Waste containing radioactive elements

• The potential influence of discharged radioactive compounds on the

environment has gained a lot of attention as a result of the explosion accidents.
• Natural radionuclide pollution of water and soil, global fallout from hydrogen
bomb tests, emissions from nuclear installations, nuclear waste disposal, and
sporadic radioactive mishaps  are all severe dangers to biomolecules.

10
 Waste management, including hazardous and
radioactive waste

• The goal of radioactive waste management would be to dispose of these

wastes in a way that preserves environmental quality short and long term while not
burdening future generations unduly.
• Maintaining the level of radioactivity clean requires various processes in
radioactive waste management. Ongoing monitoring and stabilization of waste
across decades and millennia, as well as deposition within secure sites, become
increasingly relevant and important as nuclear energy and Bayern's increase.
• The total waste management process includes processes such as radioactive waste
classification, decontamination, reconditioning, storage, conveyance, and disposal.
• To build an appropriate overall waste management method, component processes
has to be cohesive and coherent with one another.

11
 Decontamination procedure

• Use compatible sacks, reservoirs, and

containers particularly developed and made for
stockpiling and transportation of Hazardous Waste
(HW);
• Obey applicable rules, rules, and guidelines for
packaging, labelling, and transportation of
hazardous wastes;
• Appropriately label those transport vessels and
containers to identify them.
• Keep a consistent collection plan with adequate
regularity to minimize HW accumulation at the
site of generation;
• Use adequate vehicles for transportation with
preventive intervention.

12
 Immobilization and processing
• Pretreatment, processing, and conditioning are all processes that have an impact
on the types of radioactive waste. Solidification/stabilization of hazardous waste (s/s),
and also hazardous, medium, and provisional radioactive waste (s/s). 
• However, radioactive waste disposal models have progressed greatly since that time,
and far more care is now paid to the needed retention timeframes and retention
restrictions for various types of waste, resulting in significantly better landfills and
anticipated dumpsites..

13
 The concept of several barriers

• Pretreatment, processing, and conditioning are all processes that have an

impact on the composition of radioactive waste. Recrystallization of hazardous
waste (s/s), along with hazardous, mild, and transitional nuclear waste (s/s). The
planned encapsulation and transportation of radioactive waste necessitates a safety
system with two objectives:
• (1) to provide radioactive waste stability within the packaging, and
• (2) to reduce public exposure to radiation dose during transportation and maybe
additional processes.

14
 Location/Requirements for Storage

• In the following circumstances, the State Pollution

Control Board could extend the ninety-day period:
• a. Small generators (up to 10 tonnes per annually) up
only one hundred eighty (180) days of units per annum;
• b. Real consumers and disposal property managers up
only one quarter of a million and eighty (180) days of
units per annum;
• c. Settlers who do not have direct exposure either to
TSDF in the respective State;
• d. Waste that requires special storage in order to
establish a technique for its rehabilitation, restoration,
pre-processing, co-processing, or ulizaon; e. For an
instance, on a judicial basis for up to 180 days;

15
 Requirements for Labeling
• The tenant shall designate hazardous waste bins with the labels provided in
Form 8 (Appendix E) of the Rules, which have a fluorescent yellow background
with RED words such as 'HAZARDOUS WASTES' and 'HANDLE WITH CARE'
written in Hindi, English, and regional language. In Hindi, English, and regional
languages, the word 'OTHER WASTES' should be written clearly in orange.

16
 Personal protective clothing and
equipment/Occupier Responsibilities
• Disposal that is safe. The occupier must adhere to the procedures to follow:
• Pollution avoidance;
• Waste reduction;
• The 3 R's (reuse, recycle, and recover) concept;
• Ulizaon involves the co-processing of solid waste as raw resources in other sectors.
• Alternatively, it can be used as a fuel alternative.
• Efficient and secure treatment and disposal;
• Hazardous waste and perhaps other wastes must be transferred or transferred to a real
user who has been approved only be disposed of in a permitted disposal facility;
• May yet transport wastes into an approved or registered transporter to a permitted
consumer or to a permitted disposal facility according to the provisions of such rules;
• Must therefore provide precise details to TSDF for processing and disposal, as needed
for secure management and disposal;
• Must also implement measures to constitute contaminants, avert accidents, and restrict
their effects on people and the planet;

17
 Accumulation/Storage Zone for Hazardous Waste

• The storage area must be closed or shielded from unwanted access. If the
location is already prohibited from unauthorized personnel, there is no need for a
fence surrounding it.
• Hazardous waste containers should be labeled well with the appropriate label.
• Appropriate signage identifying the facility as hazardous waste storage, as well as
a "No Smoking" sign, is required.
• Weekly inspections of these places must be carried out and use a weekly inspection
checklist.
• Enough aisle space must be available to allow unrestricted movement of
employees, fire protective devices, s p I l l c o n t r o l e q u I p m e n t, and
disinfection facilities to any region of the operation.

18
 Compatibility with Hazardous Wastes

• Even if hazardous waste is contained

in containers, there's also a hazard of
mixing unless a material drops or releases
owing to improper storage or whether a
natural disaster results in a chemical
release. To avoid combining incompatible
chemicals, it is critical to understand
which kinds of chemicals are compatible
to keep together are and aren't.
• The list below provides general
guidelines for which chemicals/materials
ought not to be combined or stored
nearby.

19
 Separate the following materials from one another:

• Bases and acids (for example lead-acid batteries and cause cleaners)
• Combustibles and flammables, as well as oxidizers (for example paint thinner and
bleach)
• Corrosives and flammables, sometimes known as combustibles (for example acid
cleaners and oil)
• While storing hazardous waste, it's critical to avoid using containers composed of
materials that might cause compatibility concerns, such as the ones listed above.
Acid should not be placed in metal drums, for example, since this acid will dissolve
the container thus inducing a leak.

20
 Equipment and solvents used for decontamination/Container
Management is the management of containers

• Containers should be compatible with the trash that is contained within them.
• Containers should be kept closed unless waste is being added or removed.
• Containers should be free of leaks, bulges, rust, corrosion, or dents.
• Use supplementary containment pallets to store liquid garbage bins.
• Only for Large Quantity Generators: Containers containing ignitable or reactive
wastes should be positioned at least 15 meters (50 feet) away from the facility's
domain border, and unsuitable wastes should be isolated by a mound or a wall.

21
 Empty Container Management

• As a result, it is critical to maintaining these containers in such an

environmentally responsible way.
• The sort of hazardous wastes that could be imported or exported out of the
country must also be known by the possessor.
• The flow chart will assist the occupier in identifying wastes for import and
export applications by the Hazardous Waste Rules, 2016.

22
 Requirements for hazardous waste generator training

• The best method to avoid generating needless trash and problems associated
with hazardous waste would be to completely train personnel on how to conduct
their job duties safely and correctly. This understanding can lead to more efficiency
and less waste.
• Employees who receive good training may be able to identify methods to improve
their performance and operations.
• This is not just a good way to teach staff how to properly handle hazardous trash
and respond to disasters, but it is also necessary to manage wastes in an
environmentally friendly manner in an attempt to lessen liability costs.
• As part of their necessary on-site job training, SQGs must ensure that all
personnel are entirely versed with proper waste management and emergency
procedures, which apply to their duties during regular facilities and crises.
• Former employee records must be kept for at least 3 months after the individual last
operated at the firm.

23
 Prerequisites for Large Quantity Generators in Terms of Training
(LQG)

• Employees must undergo first hazardous waste training within 6 months of

getting and/or switching a job assignment requiring hazardous waste management.
• LQGs must guarantee that workers get a classroom or on-the-job orientation
on hazardous waste handling, storage, and disaster response considerations. At
least, the training programme should be designed to confirm that facility staff are
familiar with emergency procedures, aid kits, and urgent situation systems, such as
where applicable.

24
 Hierarchy & Hazardous Waste Management

• The preventive approach seeks to reduce waste generation just at source by

any means possible, including
• a. advancements in process equipment and technology that may virtually remove
wastes;
• b. upgrades in plant operations; and
• c. encouraging the use of materials through waste recovery, recycling, and reuse.

25
 Training Plan

• The skill set for each hazardous waste management position just at the facility,
as well as the name of the individual who fills each position;
• A written description of said quality and number of introduction and continuing
education that will be provided to each individual occupying a position described
above; and - Records that demonstrate the coursework or job experience that has
been provided to, and completed by, facility personnel as outlined above.

26
 The generator of hazardous wastes might take the following actions to
ensure that it is handled efficiently:

• Step 1: Identify all hazardous and other wastes in the firm according to the
guidelines.
• Step 2: Identify and categorise all Hws.
• Step 3: Allocate a cost to each of the company's wastes.
• Step 4: Choose and plan waste management provisions to:
• Isolate waste at the source of creation;
• Have waste importance of looking on an interim document;
• Setup for safe on-site acquisition, labelling, and stockpiling of wastes as per their
compatibility;
• “ project treatment on-site; and o Organise for off-site processing and disposal.

27
 There are four primary stages in the waste hierarchy:

• Reduce – Reduce the amount of waste created;

• Reuse – reuse goods whenever feasible;
• Recycle – recycle materials into innovative products;
• and Residual – landfill residual debris.

28
 The following items must be conveniently accessible, in good functioning
order, and examined on a regular basis:

• Intrinsic communications or an alarm system ready to give personnel instant

emergency information.
• Custom two-way radio or telephone capable of communicating with local and
emergency personnel.
• Fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting equipment, including specific
extinguishing devices (foam, inert gas, or dry chemicals).
• Fire hydrants and perhaps other sources of water with sufficient temperature and
volume (ponds, pumping stations, etc.), foam creating systems, automatic faucets,
or a water mist system.
• Spill-prevention equipment
• Liquid waste secondary filtration

29
 The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

• To safeguard human health and the environment, radioactive waste disposal is

defined as the placing of waste in a certified specific installation that is meant to
detach the waste from humans and nature, and to eliminate or mitigate the
discharge of hazardous compounds.
• However, a few of the primary concerns of those who oppose nuclear power is the
disposal of radioactive waste.
• As a result, disposal plays a key role in societal approval of civilian nuclear uses in
various countries.

30
 Waste Minimization Mediation Investigations

• Like certain other conventional treatment methods, phytoremediation must be

followed by an immobilization step, which can be used to consolidate and fix the
emerging secondary waste products in a neutral medium.
• A good selection of genera appropriate for the form of the contaminant, as well as
its physical region, meteorology, hydrological circumstances, soil qualities, and
aggregation aptitude of the species of plants, can considerably improve the
effectiveness of contamination removal via phytoremediation.

31
 Radioactive waste

• Decent average radioactive waste, as well as good level radioactive waste, is

the two broad categories.
• The processing and environmental preservation of radioactive waste resulting from
both civilian and military nuclear operations is a possible worry for future
generations.
• Radioactive waste consists of a variety of radionuclides and can take a variety of
chemical and physical forms.There are two categories of radioactive waste: decent
average radioactive waste and top tier radioactive waste.
• Waste covering multiple organic substances, erosive or chemically assertive
elements, radionuclides with special characteristics ('s shifting, high chemical
interaction, volatile components, etc.), waste that is difficult to consider and not
pertinent for immediate complexation,  are all instances of waste encountered in
nuclear power plants.

32
 The impact of climatic circumstances

• Accidents involving flooding, which are one of the most significant issues that
combined trash may face at the disposal site, must be prioritised.
• Water is the fundamental catalyst for the development and degradation of a variety
of natural substances, as well as the bulk of solidified waste material sustainability
difficulties.The based on chemical deterioration is determined by whichever
chemical attack is limited to the exterior of the crystallized waste material or occurs
within.
• The concentration and type of ions found in water, as well as the chemical
content of the sample substrate, influence the pace of deterioration.

33
 Principles of Hazardous waste management

• In our country, the biggest hurdles to hazardous waste management are more
psychological and behavioural than technical and are more connected to awareness
and correct training. Hazardous garbage is rarely separated from non-hazardous or
recyclable rubbish.
• As a result, they are increasing the volume of hazardous waste, which will
raise the expense of processing and disposal, as well as denying themselves the
opportunity to use recoverable in order to reduce the usage of virgin resources.
• The Hazardous Waste Management Strategy places waste prevention at the
highest level, with residual processing and disposal at the base.

34
 Hazardous Waste Co-processing

• Because of the high temperature (1400oC) and short residence time (4-5
seconds) in an oxygen-rich environment, the cement industry is better equipped not
only for hazardous waste combustion as well as for the utilization of huge
quantities of hazardous wastes.
• In addition to certain other raw resources, the cement industry uses a substantial
amount of virgin coal as a raw material for its energy needs.
• The cement sector has the best conditions for repurposing hazardous waste and
other wastes.

35
 Waste Reduction/Cleaner Production

• One method is waste reduction or environmental protection through cleaner

production, while another is recovery, reuse, and recycling.
• The occupiers shall implement a plan to minimize the quantity and toxicity of
waste created to the extent that the facility determines is economically feasible,
able to access, and eliminates the existing and future hazard to health and the
environment.

36
 Waste Hierarchy Principles

• As a producer of hazardous waste, the facilities should make every effort to

reduce the amount of garbage produced.
• Waste minimization or pollution prevention from cleaner production is one
way, while recuperation, reuse, and recycling are another.
• The occupiers shall implement a plan to minimize the quantity and toxicity of
waste created to the extent that the facility determines is economically feasible,
immediately available, and minimises the existing and future hazard to health and
the environment.

37
 Lqgs Emergency Procedures

• Using, examining, fixing, and substituting emergency and surveillance

capabilities;
• Communications or security alarms; - Response to ignition or explosions;
• Response to subsurface contamination instances; - Operation shutdown.
• Employees must also receive annual refresher training to ensure that they remain
current with the regulations.
• Employees should not work in unattended positions even if they have completed
this section's training requirements.

38
 Requirements For Hazardous Waste Generator Training

• The best method to avoid generating needless trash and problems associated
with hazardous waste is to completely train personnel on how to conduct their job
duties safely and correctly.
• This understanding can result in more efficiency and less waste.
• Employees who receive good training may be able to identify methods to
improve their performance and practices.

39
 Container Management is the management of containers

• Containers should be kept closed unless waste has been added or removed.
• Containers has to be free of leaks, bulges, rust, corrosion or denting.
• Use supplementary containment pallets to store liquid waste containers.
• Only for Large Quantity Generators: Containers containing extremely flammable or
reactive wastes should be positioned at least 20 inches (50 feet) away from the
facility's property border, and unsuitable wastes should be segregated by a barrier
or a wall.

40
Accumulation/Storage Area for Hazardous Waste

• A storage space known as the central hazardous waste accumulation area

should be identified in a large organisation where a lot of waste is generated. This
is a storage location for hazardous materials before they are acquired for
processing, recycling, or landfill.
• The concentration area should be closed or shielded from unwanted entry. If the
location is already prohibited from unauthorised personnel, there is no need for a
fence surrounding it.
• Hazardous waste containers must be labelled with the appropriate label.
• Appropriate signage designating the location as dangerous is required.- There is
waste storage and a "No Smoking" sign. Weekly examinations of these places must
be carried out using the weekly assessment report.
• There must be enough aisle space to enable unrestricted circulation of people and
goods,Personnel, retardant equipment, and s p I l l c o n tr o l e q u I p m e n t
• Any region can benefit from decontamination equipment the operation
