Common use of Project Operation Clause in Contracts

Project Operation. The proposed project would involve the storage, handling, and use of hazardous materials. The project will conform to all federal, state and local regulations regarding the transportation, use, storage, generation and disposal of hazardous materials to minimize potential health and environmental hazards that could occur through accidental spills or leakage. A Business Emergency Plan (BEP) and Hazardous Materials Inventory will be prepared by the project for submittal to the City of Huntington Beach Certified Unified Program Agency. In addition to identifying hazardous substances, the BEP includes details that facilitate coordination and emergency planning with on- and off-site response officials and facilities in the event of an emergency. RO Membrane Cleaning Solution. The citric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium tripolyphosphate, and sodium dodecylbenzene would be delivered to the subject site in 50-gallon plastic containers and would be stored in the RO building within concrete enclosures for use of cleaning of RO membranes. A drainage system would be provided for chemical evacuation in the event of an accidental spill. As these chemicals would not be used frequently, they would be delivered to the site on an as-needed basis, and no more than one container per chemical would typically be stored or used at one time. The chemicals listed in the SEIR are nonflammable and would be stored and used at the treatment facility site in quantities below the threshold quantity levels, as defined by the applicable federal, state, and local hazardous materials handling and management regulations, at which they would present a potential for a significant hazard to the public or the environment.
