ECOFLO will unload the equipment and supplies to be used during the event including setting up spill containment and spill countermeasures supplies. The Project Manager will determine the most strategic, efficient, and effective locations for spill prevention and response equipment, ECOFLO personnel will set up collection and segregation stations and position supplies. The Project Manager will notify the appropriate City of Milton representative when ECOFLO is ready to accept event participants.

Unloaders are the first to approach an automobile and will unload materials with rolling carts (with spill containment) to a segregation table. Chemists and Technicians will segregate items by hazard class and determine best method for handling (bulking or loose packing). Loose -packing chemicals by hazard class is the preferred method for most HHW material as it maintains a steady unloading pace. Items requiring further identification will be fingerprinted by the Chemist with field test kits for proper packaging. ECOFLO will provide continuous contact with City of Milton personnel regarding any waste collection questions or concerns. ECOFLO will closely monitor the participant volume as well as the container volume to make sure that the event remains within the parameters of the approved.

ECOFLO will contact the appropriate City of Milton representative to determine if any additional materials have been dropped off (see Page 4). When all materials have been collected and packaged, ECOFLO personnel will begin to break -down the collection and segregation equipment and supplies. ECOFLO personnel will then remove secondary containment equipment and clean the area. The ECOFLO site chemist will prepare shipping paperwork and upon completion will contact the City of Milton representative to provide copies of the shipping documents and get a proper signature for the manifest. ECOFLO personnel will inspect the site for any additional housekeepine needs prior to leavinLa the ritP Household Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan ECOFLO spy rn. �:a•a de a rir. wnpweA a. Containment carts (laboratory type) will be utilized during the unloading process when leaking containers are first noticed. Pour up or overpacking items in larger containers is the solution for those items that are posing a threat to leakage. In addition, rags and absorbent material are readily available near all unloading carts as well as on the segregation table. Storm drains are protected when slopes at the collection pose threat with a combination of oil dry bags (filled with clay absorbent) and plastic. If possible, any area with storm drains will be avoided as a site for handling HMW Collection. b. ECOFLO will manage continue to collect HHW during rain; however, if severe weather including tornadoes or lightning threaten safety, safe havens will be determined for egress. Spills that are caused by ECOFLO personnel will be the responsibility of ECOFLO to clean up. All clean up media and equipment will be available on site during the HHW Collection Event. If a material appears to differ from the description provided by the resident, the container will be set aside from other materials. ECOFLO will perform sampling and simple analysis for pH, compatibility, and water solubility. The compatibility test is only performed if deemed necessary and if the waste is to be consolidated at the HHW collection site. If a waste cannot be identified using resident knowledge, visual inspection, and simple testing, ECOFLO's Field Chemists will perform field analysis to determine the DOT classifications. Spill Prevention Plastic sheeting is placed under all working areas where spills are likely to occur. All bulk containers will be fully lined to prevent leakage, including non -hazardous containers. Spill prevention shall also constitute careful chemist/technician observation of all collection, identification, packaging, and loading steps. Spill Control Absorbent pillows and powder will be stationed at each collection and segregation point. A spill station will be stocked and strategically placed in order to minimize travel of the spill and allow for the most immediate response, including quick access to cover/ dike storm drains. In the unlikely event of a spill, sufficient equipment is on -hand including but not limited to: 1) Hazorb spill pillows and booms; 5) Non -sparking shovels; 2) 3M petroleum only booms; 6) Mercury spill kit; 3) Oil dry; 7) Brooms; and 4) Hazorb bulk acid/ caustic neutralizer; 8) Shovels. It shall be the responsibility of the Site Project Manager on duty at the time of the spill incident to report immediately, by telephone or in person to the following persons: 1) Primary Contact Kenn Webb — Project Manager Home Phone: (336) 348-1660; Office Phone: (336) 855-7925; Cell: (336) 324-6789 Household Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan FrnFLO Fayyg TM Hea,e Out drrrr �• Emergency Contacts —City of Milton 2) Fire Dept. & Rescue Squad: 911 or 770-740-2422 (15240 Thompson Rd., Milton, GA) Police: 911 or 770-297-6300 option 1 (Non -Emergency) Hospital/ EMT: 770-751-2500 (North Fulton) If a spill has occurs, the following agencies may be notified, but is usually not required for HHW material: • GA Environmental Protection Div. • National Response Center Phone: 1-888-373-5947 Phone: (800) 424-880 Any material that is the result of a spill at the site will be treated, stored, or disposed of in accordance with this plan. Leaking containers will be emptied or overpacked immediately upon their discovery and will not be reused. All areas that have been impacted by the spill will be closed until the affected area has been cleaned up. c. See Appendix for Typical Health and Safety Plan (HASP). A site specific plan will be developed for the City of Milton upon award of project. This will include assignments specific to Health and Safety Officer for the collection project. All project HASP's completed by ECOFLO are under the review of Ray Dudley — Manager, Compliance Health & Safety. d.

(see Page 6) e. Other than to support traffic control and provide any specific surveys that are required by City of Milton, ECOFLO does not require any materials or supplies to be provided by City of local personnel for the HHW Collection. f. With trucks in the area of Milton on a weekly basis, any return for "late drop off" will be coordinated at the convenience of Milton personnel.

If a subcontractor affidavit is obtained, Contractor agrees to provide a completed copy to the City within five (5) business days of receipt from any subcontractor. Where Contractor is required to provide an affidavit pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 13-10-91, the City Manager or his/her designee shall be authorized to conduct an inspection of the Contractor’s and Contractor’s subcontractors’ verification process at any time to determine that the verification was correct and complete. The Contractor and Contractor’s subcontractors shall retain all documents and records of their respective verification process for a period of three (3) years following completion of the contract. Further, where Contractor is required to provide an affidavit pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 13-10-91, the City Manager or his/her designee shall further be authorized to conduct periodic inspections to ensure that no City Contractor or Contractor’s subcontractors employ unauthorized aliens on City contracts.

Executive Summary: As presented during the work sessions in November 2014 and February 2015, the alcoholic bev erage ordinance has been rewritten in its entirety to reorganize the sections and to incorporate several new changes that address current and future issues. Some of the new additions include alcoholic beverage caterers license, special events licenses for current consumption on premises license holders, specialty gift shop license, special events facility license, and farm winery license. We have also changed the “open area” restrictions to allow for alcohol to be served in unenclosed areas on the premises and added a section that created a district where open containers are permitted. Lastly, we decreased the distance requirements that consumption on premises licensed establishments must be in relation to churches and educational facilities.
