Los Angeles County has a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and floodwater can tip over tanks and drums and carry hazardous materials across a site. Cerritos is fairly dry, at about 12 inches of precipitation a year, so a spill on soil can linger in place until it is removed.
A typical hazmat cleanup job includes:
- Response to abandoned drums and containers found at rentals, lots and storage units
- Hauling of hazardous waste to a facility that can legally accept it
- Removal of contaminated soil, gravel, flooring and debris from the release area
- Cleaning of pavement, concrete, tile and metal surfaces after a hazardous release
- Labeling of waste and records of what was collected and where it was hauled
The Hazmat Cleaning Process in Cerritos, Step by Step
2. Plan and protect
The team writes a plan and chooses protective gear matched to the hazard. People and pets stay out of the area while gear is checked.
3. Contain and remove
Barriers and absorbents stop the material from spreading. The product, damaged containers and contaminated items are collected in suitable sealed containers.
4. Pack, label, haul
Different materials are kept apart so they cannot react. Waste leaves the site by the route and rules that apply to its type.
