What is Damming... - Correct answer ✔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 ... - Correct answer ✔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... - Correct answer ✔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.
||




What is Diking... - Correct answer ✔Physical method of confinement by which
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




barriers are constructed on ground used to control the movement of liquids,
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




sludges, solids, or other materials. Prevents the passage of hazmat from
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




entering an area where it will produce more harm.
|| || || || || || || ||




What is retention... - Correct answer ✔Physical method of confinement by
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




which a liquid is temporarily contained in an area where it can be absorbed,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




neutralized, or picked up for proper disposal || || || || || ||




What is dispersion... - Correct answer ✔Chemical method of confinement by
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




which certain chemical and biological agents are used to disperse or break up
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




the material involved in liquid spills on water
