P2 - Pollution Prevention, the highest priority is source reduction, the most effective P2 activity is product modification to avoid solvent use PDCA - Plan, Do, Check, Act (P2) HAP - Hazardous Air Pollutant MACT - Maximum Achievable Control Technology TSDF - Transport, Storage, Disposal Facility, is required to have a waste tracking program, a training plan, arrangements with emergency responders, an employee onsite at all times NPDES - National Pollution Discharge Elimination System SWPPPs - Stormwater pollution prevention plans Waste Management Hierarchy - 1. Prevent or reduce 2. Recycle 3. Treat 4. Dispose or otherwise release AEA - Atomic Energy Act RCRA - Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, covers generation of haz waste, transportation of haz waste, USTs, and non-haz solid waste ALARA - As Low As Reasonably Achievable (AEA) LDRs - Land Disposal Restriction (RCRA), meant to minimize post-closure escape of waste, reduces the volume of haz waste disposal, encourages recycling MTRs - Minimum Technology Requirements (RCRA), including liner requirements, leak detection and collection requirements, groundwater monitoring CAMU - Corrective Action Management Unit (RCRA), needs to assess environmental and health risks, if it will enhance the timeliness of remediation, will minimize the land utilized for final disposal, will provide expeditious implementation of site remedies TU - Temporary Unit (RCRA) RI - Remedial Investigation CMS - Corrective Measures Study (RCRA) IM - Interim Measures RFI - RCRA Facility Investigation SWMU - Solid Waste Management Unit (RCRA) HSWA - Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (expanded RCRA) CA - Corrective Action (HSWA), requires identification of all SWMUs on a site before issuance of a Part B permit, a comprehensive groundwater monitoring program, can require clean-ups outside a facilities boundary, provide for temporary treatment units, has an additional section in a final permit requiring further site clean-ups Used Oil - Arsenic (5 ppm max), Cadmium (2 ppm max), Chromium (10ppm max), Lead (100 ppm max), Total Halogens (4000 ppm max), Flash point (100oF minimum) NIOSH - National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, conducts research in occupational safety and health, develop criteria as a basis for new standards, provides education, manpower development and training on health and safety equipment, enforces occupational health and safety guidelines. TLV - Threshold Limit Value Ceiling Value - An absolute value which cannot be exceeded (no TWA) Nucleus - The center of an atom made up of a proton and a neutron Ionization - the removal of electrons from an electrically neutral atom TDS - Time, Distance, Shielding (ways to reduce exposure to radiation) Alpha particle - Slowest, largest radioactive particle. Most destructive if inhaled or ingested. Can be stopped by paper/tyvek. Made up of a proton and neutron. Beta particle - Can be stopped by plastic/aluminum foil. Can travel up to four feet from source. Made up of an electron. Half-lives to get to 12.5% of original radionuclide - Three. 100 (one) 50 (two) 25 (three) 12.5 Toxin - any substance that will produce a harmful effect when introduced to the body in sufficient concentrations, creates a toxic effect when a mechanism is available to allow a biochemical reaction at a receptor site in the target organ LD50 - Lethal dose 50% Potentiation - not a toxin (for a particular target organ) that in combination with a toxin, enhances the toxins effect COI - Chemical of Interest (CFATS) DHS - Department of Homeland Security (US Coast Guard, US Secret Service, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) CSAT - Chemical Security Assessment Tool, which assesses security risks Site Security Plan - Secure site assets, Deter, Detect, Delay, Screen and control access. Vulnerability Information - Should only be available to those who "need to know" (CFATS) Respirator Fit Factors - Half-mask 10, Full Face 50, Supplied Air (w/o egress bottle) 1000, SCBA 10000 Level A PPE - Full body encapsulating suit, SCBA, Dermal protection 29CFR1910.132(h)(2) - Does NOT require an employer to pay for non-specialty safety toe footwear 29CFR1910 - OSHA General Industry Standard 29CFR1926 - OSHA Construction Standard OHSA inspections - The top priority for OSHA inspections are imminent danger situations. Class IV UIC - Used to dispose of hazardous wastes (SWDA) Class III UIC - Used to dispose of oil and gas production wastes (SWDA) MCL - Maximum Contaminate Level, legally enforceable public health goal SWDA - Safe Water Drinking Act (1980), established public notifications for violations, increased civil penalties, recalled all water coolers with lead lined tanks and banned lead containing pipes
