EMERGENCY RESPONSE Chemical Spill CleanupA&D’s emergency response vehicles are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE), pumps, tank repair kits, cold cutting equipment, hot tap and other equipment necessary to handle a variety of spills. Our Emergency Response Equipment Unit is stocked with pumps, valves and repair kits, and containment supplies to handle responses on land, waterways or rail. The facility maintains a stocked inventory that complements the mobile inventory and may be mobilized to a larger incident as the need arises. 24 – Hour Emergency Response ServicesA&D has numerous “Emergency Response Agreements” with manufacturers, local municipalities and other governmental agencies and regularly responds to weekly requests for assistance. Personnel have over 130years of combined experience in providing emergency response services. Through an effective emergency communications network, A&D can provide 24-hour immediate emergency response services including truck or tanker incidents, ruptured tanks, leaking lines, drums or cylinders, train derailments, and much more. A representative is onsite within one hour plus the time required to drive to the site of notification to conduct a site inspection for formulating accurate response plans including the identification and designation of contaminated zones, staging areas, decontamination areas, site access and travel areas, and the location of fire, police and ambulance services. If necessary, the representative will develop logistics for the emergency relocation of nearby residents. Environmental sampling of soils, surface water, ground water, and/or air may be required during an emergency response to identify the chemical nature, source, or extent of contamination. A&D has developed and implemented environmental sampling plans for numerous sites including RCRA, CERCLA and UST sites. In addition, an emergency response may involve the assessment and mitigation of leaked or spilled hazardous products. In most cases, soil, water, and/or air samples will be collected and analyzed for the possible presence of petroleum hydrocarbon constituents, metals, and other hazardous material indicators. If necessary, the two subcontracted analytical laboratories can obtain analytical results for most of these chemical parameters within 24 to 36 hours of sample receipt. The soil and water sample will be analyzed using USEPA approved procedures. Air quality sampling will be conducted using various organic vapor-detecting devices. A&D will use either an organic vapor analyzer (OVA), or an HNu photoionization detector (HNu) to obtain semi-qualitative measurements of organic vapor atmospheric concentrations. A combustible gas/oxygen explosimeter will also be used to test ambient air for explosive limits and for the percentage of oxygen present. If required, personnel and surrounding ambient air monitoring may be established when dust airborne constituents are of concern. Remedial actions that may be used to control and/or remove leaked or spilled substances may include: the diking of areas to control overland spills of controlled substances, the use of absorbent materials to remove free-floating substances (such as gasoline product) from surface water, and the use of vacuum trucks or skimmer systems to remove contaminated water or free floating substances from surface water, excavations, wells or sumps. The expertise of A&D's engineers and geologists in the tracking and modeling of groundwater contaminant dispersion on a number of projects enhances our ability to effectively contain and/or extract contaminants within aquifers serving as water supplies. If the integrity of existing water supply resources is threatened, we will manage and coordinate the orderly provision of bottled water, or if necessary, provide connection to available public water supply systems. A&D's policy is to provide and maintain safe working conditions at all work locations while informing employees of potential hazards and required protective measures. A Health and Safety Plan (HASP) is prepared specifically for each site based on information regarding known contaminants and conditions and the results of onsite monitoring, sampling, and analysis. The Project Manager will serve as the Site Safety Officer. A&D's detailed Health and Safety Plan is available for review upon request. Reports will be prepared on a regular basis for clients detailing the actions taken, analytical results, and a synopsis of other data collected for the site. |
