, Describe the response options available for Defensive Control Techniques - ✔✔1.
Damming (Overflow or Underflow)
2. Diking
3. Retention
4. Dispersion
5. Absorption
6. Adsorption
7. Dilution
8. Dissolution
9. Diversion
10. Vapor dispersion
11. Vapor suppression
12. Ventilation
13. Remote valve shutoff
What is Damming... - ✔✔Physical method of confinement by which barriers are
constructed to prevent or reduce the quantity of liquid flowing into the
environment. Consists of constructing a barrier across a waterway to stop/control
the product flow and pick up liquid or solid contaminants
What is Underflow Damming ... - ✔✔Spill control tactic used to trap floating lighter
than water materials behind the dam. Dam is constructed in a manner that allows
uncontaminated water to flow unobstructed under the dam while keeping the
contaminant behind the dam.
What is Overflow Damming... - ✔✔Spill control tactic used to trap sinking heavier
than water materials behind the dam. With the product trapped, uncontaminated
water is allowed to flow unobstructed over the top of the dam.
