will be generated by the radiological technicians through the use of smears for radiological
contamination. All generated waste will be handled according to SOP FS-11.1. If
decontamination is required, all decontamination fluids will be contained in open-top, 55-gal
drums and placed in the staging area.
5.3 WASTE HANDLING AND CHARACTERIZATION
The PCB waste will be generated through the on-site PCB immunoassay test, which
includes PCB-contaminated liquid, cloth and paper wipes used in the sampling, and some
laboratory waste such as filters, bulb pipettes, tips, and tubes. The PCB-contaminated liquid will
be stored in a separate container from the other liquid generated by the test. Cloth, paper wipes,
and other test-generated waste will be collected and disposed as PCB waste.
The PPE generated from this activity will be surveyed for beta-gamma-emitting
contaminants and will be considered sanitary trash if no contamination is detected. Any PPE or
radiological swipes with activity levels over MDA will be considered SLLW. All waste will be
segregated, containerized, and labeled appropriately and will remain on site for the duration of
all field activities conducted by the Jacobs ER Team, including this radiological survey.
Transport and final disposition of wastes will be coordinated with Energy Systems Waste
Management.
5.4 WASTE STAGING
One staging area will be set up within a fenced area to accommodate wastes generated on
site. This area will have the following at a minimum:
" visibly marked boundaries of the field staging area,
* arrangement of the field staging areas to accommodate inspection, and
" management of material in containers according to all applicable regulations.
