Possible sources of waste contamination. The applicants have identified four sources of possible contamination of the site by waste materials. These consist of: a. materials leaking from wrecked vehicles towed from accident sites by 1 Big Tow and Recovery; 1 b. materials leaking from vehicles towed by Big Tow and Recovery for repair by Scott Diesel; 1 c. materials leaking from vehicles or machines brought by others;. 1 d. leaking from vehicles or machinery during repair; 1 • 2. Types of waste generated. Other than normal, household type trash, Applicants have identified the following types of waste which could be produced on the site: a. Used motor oil; b. Used antifreeze; 1 c Used hydraulic oil; d. Diesel fuel 3. Site characteristics. ' The site consists of a 3275 square foot shop with a concrete floor where vehicles and • 1 1 Imachinery are repaired. There is no floor drain. In addition, there is about 96,000 square feet of • graveled driveway,parking and storage area where trucks and machinery are stored pending repairs or awaiting delivery. The remaining area is unimproved at this time and is expected to remain so for the immediate future. All work is done inside the shop building on the concrete floor,except in the case of certain farm machinery that is too large to fit in the shop. This large equipment is repaired in an area immediately outside the shop overhead door. When such machines are worked on outside of the shop building, absorbent mats are place under the work area to catch any spills. ' Regardless of whether the repairs are performed inside or outside, standard mechanic's oil pans are placed under the work area to catch any fluids that might leak. 4. Contamination by leakage from wrecked vehicles towed onto the site. We are not allowed to remove a truck from an accident site if it is leaking any fluids ' at all. If a leak occurs at an accident site, the Colorado State Patrol or other authority notifies a hazmat services provider who comes to the accident site, removes the leaking material and cleans up the spill. We are not permitted to remove the damaged vehicle from the accident site until all ' leaks have been stopped, the leaking material has been removed from the damaged vehicle and the vehicle is certified environmentally safe to move by the hazmat team. After all of this, we inspect I • the vehicle ourselves before the hazmat team leaves the site and, if we see any evidence of leakage, we require the same to be repaired before we will hook up and tow. On arrival at our storage site ' we secure the vehicle and once again inspect it to make sure there is no leakage. Another inspection is made within 24 hours after the vehicle is placed in the yard. Thereafter visual inspections of the vehicle are made at least every 3 days until it is removed by the owner. Although we have never had a leak occur from a vehicle under storage, if any of these inspections reveal a leak, we would immediate stop the leak and then notify Barron's Oilfield Service, located at 1235 Denver Avenue ' in Fort Lupton, which is about three miles from our site. We have a contract with Barron's to provide cleanup services of this nature on demand and within three hours. (See Exhibit 1) 5. Contamination by leakage from vehicles towed onto the site for repair. Occasionally vehicles will be towed onto the site by Big Tow and Recovery for repair by Scott Diesel and Farm Service. Please recall that the Applicants own and operate both Scott Diesel and Farm Service and Big Tow and Recovery, as well as the site in question. Before towing any vehicle or piece of machinery anywhere, Applicant's inspect it to be certain that nothing is • 2 1 . Ileaking from it. Once the vehicle arrives on site, the same inspection process is followed as that • outlined in paragraph 4 above. I 6. Vehicles or machinery delivered to the site by others. Frequently customers drive or haul their vehicles or machinery onto the site ' themselves. In order to control contamination from these vehicles,Applicants inspect them before accepting them for repair. If leaks are found, we require the equipment to be removed from the property or, in the alternative, we will fix the leak at the customers expense. If the latter course is chosen, the leak is either repaired immediately or, more usually, the leaking fluid is drained and stored as set forth below until the leak can be repaired and the fluid re-installed. If any material has ' leaked out of the vehicle before we can either stop the leak or cause the vehicle to be removed from the property, cleanup will be made within three hours by Barron's Oilfield Service under our existing contract. (See Exhibit 1) t7. Contamination from fluid leaks during repair. I • Generally we do not dispose of fluids drained from vehicles during repair,except for used motor oil. The remaining fluids such as antifreeze and hydraulic fluid are now so costly that ' our customers are not willing to replace them unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, we collect such fluids in covered five gallon containers made for the purpose and appropriate to the product. These containers consist of the containers in which new oil, antifreeze or hydraulic fluid is ' purchased. We save the containers and use them for temporary storage,using like containers for like material, meaning that we use antifreeze containers for antifreeze, hydraulic fluid containers for 1 hydraulic fluid and so forth. These containers are then stored inside the shop until the fluid is re- installed in the vehicle. Because of this practice the volume of fluids we dispose of is small. Re-use is not possible for used motor oil,however,and there are occasions when we replace old antifreeze or hydraulic fluid with new fluid, in which event the old fluids must be discarded. Disposal of all of these fluids is discussed in paragraph 8, below. ' During the normal activities involved in vehicle repair,minor fluid spills can occur. These are generally of a volume sufficient to stain the garage floor,but not much more. When these spills occur, they are covered by an absorbent granular clay material made to soak up liquid waste. ' This prevents the spill from spreading and is also needed for personal safety reasons. After the t • 3 Imaterial has had ample time to absorb the spill, it is picked up by dust pan and broom and stored in • a plastic container until removed by Barron's Oilfield Service under our contract. This is in ' accordance with the Manufacturer's Safety Data Sheets for these products. (See, for example, Exhibits 2 and 3,attached) Please keep in mind that the materials treated in this fashion include only motor oil,hydraulic fluid,antifreeze and diesel fuel and only in small amounts of less than two cups per spill. 8. Disposal of used fluids. Shop operations generate used motor oil and, to a lesser degree,used antifreeze and hydraulic fluid. The used motor oil and hydraulic fluid are temporarily stored in a 275 gallon ' Intermediate Bulk Container,or IBC,designed for this purpose. For purposes of this waste handling plan only, this tank will be referred to as Tank A. This tank is more fully described below. ' The waste anti-freeze is stored in a similar IBC which, again for purposes of this waste handling plan only, will henceforth be described as Tank B. Both of these tanks are emptied as required by Tri-State Oil Reclaimers, 1770 Otto Road, Cheyenne, Wyoming, 82001,who operate in Colorado under EPA license number 000001677. • 1 9. Used Oil Tank (Tank A). Exhibit 4 shows Tank A on the Left of the photo.Additional photographs of this tank ' are attached as Exhibits 5, 6 and 7. Exhibit 8 shows the UN code tag for this IBC and Exhibit 9 shows the UN code tag on the removable lid of the tank. This IBC was made by the Schutz Industrial Packaging Company. (See Exhibit 10) This particular tank is a Schutz model EcoBulk MX1000. A copy of the Schutz brochure for this model is attached as Exhibit 11, while the manufacturer's datasheet is attached as Exhibit 12. As can be seen from Exhibit 12,the datasheet, this IBC carries a UN certification of 31HA1/Y, has an inner bottle of extrusion molded HDPE plastic and an outer container consisting of a welded galvanized tubular steel grid. This particular ' example has a bottom plate and the integral steel frame skid. For a description of the testing required to obtain this UN certification please see Exhibit 13,attached. The IBC is designed and certified for ' stacking up to 4 units high, although we do not stack these units. Exhibit 8 is a close up view of the IBC code number marked on this tank by the manufacturer as required by 49 CFR 178.703(a). (For the text of 49 CFR 178.703(a)see Exhibit 14) • 4 r . IThis photo reveals the code number for this IBC to be 31HA1/Y/12-10/USA/M5788/4052/2095/1 • 0701J62Kg/70kPa/12-10/12-10. In order to translate this code to meaningful data, reference must ' be made to 49 CFR 178.702,attached hereto as Exhibit 14.(For convenience, the reader may prefer to see pages 7 through 9 of Exhibit 15, which is a RIPA treatise on Intermediate Bulk Container package labeling, or the Darbox Ltd. Article "How to Read UN Packaging Codes," Exhibit 16.) ' Exhibit 14 is a reprint of the entirety of Subpart N of Part 178 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,entitled IBC performance-oriented standards.Using this subsection,the tank code can ' be interpreted as follows. The number 31 in the above code announces that the tank is certified for containment of liquids. (See section 178.702(a)(1)) Next, the letters H and A stand for steel and ' plastic construction, respectively (section 178.702(a)(2), Exhibit 14), and the designation 31HA1 indicates an IBC unit with a plastic inner bottle and a steel outer packaging. (section 178.702(b), Exhibit 14) The Letter Y in the above code indicates the performance standard under which the tcontainer has been successfully tested. (See 49 CFR 178.703(a)(1)(iii), Exhibit 14)In this case, the container performance standard code is Y, indicating that the container is suitable for the shipment ' of materials classified under Department of Transportation Packing Group Codes II and III. If reference is had to 49 CFR 172.101, it is found that motor oil is not classified as a hazardous substance or dangerous good and is not required to be placarded as such when transported. Further reference is made to the Ashland Manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet for 15W-40 motor oil attached as Exhibit 3. Attention is particularly directed to section 14 of Exhibit 3 entitled Transportation I • Information,where no hazard class or packing group code is listed. Given this,Applicant's contend that Tank A, certified for use in transporting material in Department of Transportation packing groups II and III, is of an adequate performance standard to safely contain used motor oil. Continuing the reference to Exhibit 14, 49 CFR 178.703(a)(1)(iv) shows that the ' digits 12-10 after the performance code Y, indicates that the container was manufactured in December,2010. Similarly,the final two sets of digits,12-10/12-10,indicate that the container was last tested for"leakproofness"in December, 2010 and was last visually inspected at the same time. (Please see 49 CFR 178.703(b)(1)(iv)and(v)) According to 49 CFR 180.352(b)(1), the IBC does not need a further"leakproofness" test performed under section 49 CFR 178.813 for two and one half years from date of manufacture and need not be visually re-inspected for the same period under 49 CFR 180.352(b)(2). (For the text of 49 CFR 180.352(b)(2), please see Exhibit 17. For the text of 49 CFR 178.813, please see Exhibit 18) Thus, this Tank A need not re-test until June, 2013. It should be noted as well that these retests are required only if the container is to be use in transporting ' material. No re-testing is required if, as here, the container is used only for storage. Applicants therefore submit that Tank A is an appropriate container for the temporary storage of limited quantities of used motor oil and hydraulic fluid. • 5 1 1 - I10. Used Antifreeze tank(Tank B). • ' This IBC is the tank on the right of the photos attached as Exhibit 4. Additional photographs of this tank are attached as Exhibits 19, 20 and 21. Just as in the case of Tank A,Tank B was made by the Schutz Industrial Packaging Company and is a Schutz model EcoBulk MX1000. ' Again, for the Schutz brochure for this model please see Exhibit 11 and for the appropriate manufacturer's datasheet see Exhibit 12. As in the case of Tank A, this IBC carries a UN ' certification of 31HA1/Y, has an inner bottle of extrusion molded HDPE plastic and an outer container consisting of a welded galvanized tubular steel grid and a bottom plate integral steel frame 1 skid. Exhibit 22 is a close up of the IBC code number marked on Tank B, while Exhibit ' 23 shows the code number embossed on the removable lid. The Code number for this tank is 31 HA 1/Y/0311/MEX//USA/S chutzIl/3243/1728/+4A3 56X/1041/57Kg/06.10/100kPa/0311/0311. Using 49 CFR 178.702 (a)(1), (a)(2), 178.702(b) and 178.703(a)(1)(iii)) (Exhibit 14 or , for convenience, Exhibits 15 and 16), we can decipher the code number just as in the case of Tank A. For Tank B,the code number indicates an IBC constructed of a steel outer cage surrounding a plastic inner bottle,having a performance code of Y,just like Tank A. Again,the Y code indicates that the container is suitable for the shipment of materials classified under Department of Transportation • Packing Group Codes II and III. Attached as Exhibit 2 is the manufacturer's safety Data Sheet for Prestone antifreeze, a typical product which might windup in tank B. Page 1 of Exhibit 2 reveals that the main component of antifreeze is Ethylene Glycol. Referring once again to 49 CFR 172.101, the hazardous materials table, we find that the various forms of ethylene glycol are all classed in packing group III. (See Exhibit 24, an excerpt from the hazardous materials table set forth on 49 CFR 172.101)Given this,Applicant's contend that Tank B,certified for material in packing groups II and III, is of an adequate performance standard to safely contain used antifreeze. Looking at the final two sets of digits in the Tank B code, we find /0311/0311. According to 49 CFR 178.703(a)(1)(iv) these digits indicate that the container was last tested for ' "leakproofness"in March,2011 and was last visually inspected at the same time.(Please see 49 CFR 178.703(b)(1)(iv) and (v)) According to 49 CFR 180.352(6)(1), the IBC does not need a further 1 "leakproofness" test under section 49 CFR 178.813 for two and one half years from date of manufacture and need not be visually re-inspected for the same period under 49 CFR 180.352(6)(2). ' Thus, Tank B need not re-test until September, 2013, although, because it is to be used only for storage, no retest is required under these code sections. • 6 I 1 10. Conclusion. • 1 In conclusion,Applicants believe the above waste handling plan adequately addresses all reasonable concerns regarding the containment and disposal of all waste products generated on this site. However, Applicants welcome all suggestions for improvement of the plan. 1 7/ 1 ,a,. e.

The combination of metabolic acidosis,an osmol gap and oxalate crystals in the urine is evidence of ethylene glycol Ipoisoning. Pulmonary edema with hypoxemia has been described in a number of patients following poisoning with ethylene glycol. Respiratory support with mechanical ventilation may be required, IThere may be cranial nerve involvement in the late stages of toxicity from swallowed ethylene glycol. In particular,effects _ have been reported involving the seventh,eighth,and ninth cranial nerves,presenting with bilateral facial paralysis, diminished hearing and dysphagia. IEthanol is antidotal and its early administration may block the formation of ncphrotoxic metabolites of ethylene glycol in the liver. The objective is to rapidly achieve and maintain a blood ethanol level of approximately 100 mg/dl by giving a loading I dose of ethanol followed by a maintenance dose. Intravenous administration of ethanol is the preferred route, Ethanol blood levels should be checked frequently. Hemodialysis may be required. 4-Methyl pyrazole(Fomepizole®),a potent inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase,has been used therapeutically to decrease the I metabolic consequences of ethylene glycol poisoning. Fomepizolet is easier to use clinically than ethanol,does not cause CNS depression or hypoglycemia and requires less monitoring than ethanol.Additional therapeutic modalities which may decrease the adverse consequences of ethylene glycol metabolism are the administration of both thiamine and pyridoxine. As there are complicated and serious overdoses,we recommend you consult with the toxicologists at your poison control center 1 1 5.Firefighting Measures I • EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: For large fires,use alcohol type or all-purpose foams.For small fires,use water spray,carbon dioxide or dry chemical. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Do not spray pool fires directly. Cool fire exposed containers with water. I Firefighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing for fires in areas where chemicals are used or stored. UNUSUAL FIRE HAZARDS:A solid stream of water or foam directed into hot,burning liquid can cause frothing. IHAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Burning may produce carbon monoxide,and carbon dioxide. ' i 6:Accidental Release Measures Wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment(See Section g). Collect with absorbent material and place in appropriate, labeled container for disposal or,if permitted flush spill area with water. 7.Handling and Storage I DANGER:Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed Do not drink antifreeze or solution. Avoid eye and prolonged or repeated skin contact. I Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after use. Do not store in opened or unlabeled containers. Keep container away from open flames and excessive heat. I Do not reuse empty containers unless properly cleaned, Empty containers retain product residue and may be dangerous. • Do not cut,weld,drill,etc.containers,even empty.

High vapor concentrations caused,for example,by heating the material in an enclosed and poorly ventilated workplace,may produce nausea,vomiting, headache,dizziness and irregular eye movements. ISKIN CONTACT:No evidence of adverse effects from available information. EYE CONTACT:Liquid,vapors or mist may cause discomfort in the eye with persistent conjunctivitis,seen as slight excess I redness of the conjunctive. Serious corneal injury is not anticipated. INGESTION:Following ingestion,a bitter taste may be noted. May cause abdominal discomfort or pain,nausea,vomiting, I dizziness,drowsiness,malaise,blurring of vision,irritability,back pain,decrease in urine output,kidney failure,and central nervous system effects,including irregular eye movements,convulsions and coma. Cardiac failure and pulmonary edema may develop. Severe kidney damage which may be fatal may follow the swallowing of ethylene glycol. A few reports have been published describing the development of weakness of the facial muscles,diminishing hearing,and difficulty with swallowing, Iduring the late stages of severe poisoning. CHRONIC HAZARDS:Prolonged or repeated inhalation exposure may produce signs of central nervous system involvement, particularly dizziness and jerking eye movements. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause skin sensitization and an I • associated dermatitis in some individuals. Ethylene glycol has been found to cause birth defects in laboratory animals.The significance of this finding to humans has not been determined.See section I I for additional information. MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE;The available toxicological information and a knowledge of I the physical and chemical properties of the material suggest that overexposure in unlikely to aggravate existing medical conditions. I CARCINOGEN:None of the components of these products is listed as a carcinogen or suspected carcinogen by IA RC,NTP, ACGIH,or OSHA. Acute Toxicity Values: IEthylene Glycol:LD50 Oral Rat:4700 mg/kg,LD50 Skin Rabbit:9530 mg/kg Diethylene Glycol:LD50 Oral Rat: 12,565 mg/kg,LD50 Skin Rabbit: 11,890 mg/kg ' SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH:Ethylene glycol has been shown to produce dose-related teratogenic effects in rats and mice when given by gavage or in drinking water at high concentrations or doses. Also,in a preliminary study to assess the effects of exposure of pregnant rats and mice to aerosols at concentrations 150, 1,000 and 2,500 mg/m3 for 6 hours a day throughout the period of organogenesis,teratogenic effects were I produced at the highest concentrations,but only in mice. The conditions of these latter experiments did not allow a conclusion as to whether the developmental toxicity was mediated by inhalation of aerosol,percutaneous absorption of ethylene glycol from contaminated skin,or swallowing of ethylene glycol as a result of grooming the wetted coat. In a further study, I comparing effects from high aerosol concentration by whole-body or nose-only exposure,it was shown that nose-only exposure resulted in maternal toxicity(1,000 and 2,500 mg/m3)and developmental toxicity in the fetus with minimal evidence of teratogenicity(2,500 mg/m3). The no-effects concentration(based on maternal toxicity)was 500 mg/m3. In a further study in mice,no tcratogcnic effects could be produced when ethylene glycol wus applied to the skin of pregnant mice over the I period of organogenesis. The above observations suggest that ethylene glycol is to be regarded as an animal teratogen;there is currently no available information to suggest that ethylene glycol caused birth defects in humans, Cutaneous application of • IPage 4 of 6 09/07/2011 10:28 3038574414 PAGE 17 V•1 NG:TM; as •rinted on Frid:ry, 1!i July,2011 12:23:44 PM.It is valid threliyh u.n ncrl worFing d:..y rvgris2Io;" corn rtotc,v�hichcvcr iv ;twit. ongPrllt is the n:e srr� o'n ibifi y rc.di•,ca�c rlrr - S „, „ I r Data Sheet 55.0210 Red STO §ecA�14Q•t1 1 � E A 'FREEZE Date Prepared:06/10/11 nwotscrBCoRPORAna ethylene glycol is ineffective in producing developmental toxicity;exposure to high aerosol concentration is only minimally effective in producing developmental toxicity;the major route for producing developmental toxicity is perorally. ' Two chronic feeding studies,using rats and mice,have not produced any evidence that ethylene glycol causes dose-related increases in tumor incidence or a different pattern of tumors compared with untreated controls. The absence of carcinogenic potential for ethylene glycol has been supported by numerous invitro genotoxicity studies showing that it does not produce mutagenic or clastogenic effects. This products contains less than 0.5%tolytriazole which has demonstrated mutagenic activity in a bacterial test system.A correlation has been established between mutagenic activity and carcinogenic activity for many chemicals.Tolytriazole has not ' been identified as a carcinogen or probable carcinogen by NT?,IARC or OSHA. 12.Ecological Information ' Ethylene Glycol:LCS0 Goldfish:5,000 mg/L/24 hr.at 20 C static conditions.

Keep person warm and I • quiet; seek immediate medical attention. Notes to physician Hazards: Acute aspiration of large amounts of oil-laden material may produce a serious aspiration pneumonia. Patients who aspirate these oils should be followed for the development of long- term sequelae. Repeated aspiration of small quantities of mineral oil can produce chronic inflammation of the lungs (i.e. lipoid pneumonia)that may progress to pulmonary fibrosis. Symptoms are often subtle ' and radiological changes appear worse than clinical abnormalities. Occasionally, persistent cough, irritation of the upper respiratory tract, shortness of breath with exertion, fever,and bloody sputum occur. Inhalation exposure to oil mists below current workplace exposure limits is unlikely to cause ' pulmonary abnormalities. Treatment: No information available.

Since January 1, 1991, all dangerous goods in international marine and international or domestic air transport have been required to be in packaging displaying the "UN marking". The mark indicates that the packaging design has been tested in accordance with the recommendations ' ("Specification") of the "United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods". • All packaging that has been qualified as "UN Certified" or "UN Approved", ' must have first passed some rigorous testing procedures. These test procedures are intended to ensure that packaging which will contain hazardous materials can withstand normal conditions of transportation and ' are considered to represent the minimum acceptable design standards/requirements. The design requirements consist of a number of performance oriented tests related to packaging integrity. The severity of the tests varies according to the Packing Group. The purpose of the tests is to prove a design to the Packing Group level of performance. The objective is a design that, when filled and closed for shipment, will consistently perform at that level. The tests are not intended to represent all transport conditions, but are rather a supplement to an overall design process that must take into account the particular application of the packaging. ' Packaging is tested in the "as for shipment" condition, and there are four main tests to which it is subjected. These are the drop test; the stacking test; the leakproof test; and the hydrostatic test. Each of these four tests has specific guidelines set up to ensure that the packaging being tested will 1 conform to the respective packing group requirement. This testing is a comprehensive process, carried out by independent laboratories who are legally authorised to issue a formal UN certification of the "worthiness" of the packaging for use with hazardous materials. (The primary UN requirements document alone weighs 2 kilos (4.41b5).) IA brief overview of each test is shown below. • UN Certification - Drop Test (for all packaging): A. General. The drop test must be conducted for the qualification of all packaging design types. For other than flat drops, the center of gravity of http://www.darbox.com/un certify.html , __ The UN Certification/Approval Process for Hazardous Material Packaging Page 2 of 4 • the test packaging must be vertically over the point of impact. Where more I than one orientation is possible for a given drop test, the orientation most • likely to result in failure of the packaging must be used. For testing of single or composite packaging constructed of stainless steel, nickel, or monel alloy the drop test may be conducted with two samples, one sample each for the two drop orientations. These samples may have been previously used for the hydrostatic pressure of stacking test. B.Specia/ preparation of test samples for the drop test. Testing of plastic drums, plastic jerricans, plastic boxes other than expanded polystyrene boxes, composite packagings (plastic material), and combination packaging' to contain with plastic a nsolids or inner articlespackagings must be carried er out than plastic intended out when temperature of the test sample and its contents has been reduced to -18C (OF) or lower. Test liquids must be kept in their liquid state, if necessary, by the addition of anti-freeze. The UN Committee assigned all dangerous goods to one of three Packing Groups: Packing Group I - High danger ' Packing Group II - Medium danger Packing Group III - Low danger ' For solids and liquids when the test is performed with the hazardous material to be transported or with a non-hazardous material having essentially the same physical characteristic, the drop height is determined according to packing group as follows: 1 • Packing Group I - 1.8 m (5.9 feet) Packing Group II - 1.2 m (3.9 feet) ' Packing Group III - 0.8 m (2.6 feet) For liquids, if the test is performed with water where the materials to be ' carried have a specific gravity not exceeding 1.2, the drop height is determined according to packing group as follows: Packing Group I - 1.8 m (5.9 feet) Packing Group II - 1.2 m (3.9 feet) Packing Group III - 0.8 m (2.6 feet) ' For liquids, if the test is performed with water where the materials to be carried have a specific gravity exceeding 1.2, the drop height must be ' calculated on the basis of the specific gravity of the materials to be carried, rounded up to the first decimal, as follows: Packing Group I - SG x 1.5 m (4.9 feet) ' Packing Group II - SG x 1.0 m (3.3 feet) Packing Group III - SG x 0.67 m (2.2 feet) ' UN Certification - Stacking Test (for all packaging except • bags): ' This test is required for all packaging whether designed to contain a solid or a liquid. The test sample is subjected to a force applied to the top ' http://www.darbox.com/un_certify.html Cl/CP1/11 1 The UN Certification /Approval Process for Hazardous Material Packaging Pa e 3 of 4 g surface of the test packaging equivalent to the total weight of identical ' packages which might be stacked on it during transport. The minimum • height of the stack, including the test sample, must be 3.0 m (10 feet). The duration of the test lasts 28 days and is performed at a temperature of not less than 40C (104F). UN Certification - Leakproof Test (for all liquid packaging): The leakproof test is performed using compressed air or suitable gases on all packaging intended to contain liquids. The design qualification test procedure involves submerging a container with a closure under water ' while internal pressure is applied. The test is conducted for a minimum of five minutes with the following pressures applied per packing group. Packing Group I - Not less than 30 kPa (4 psi) Packing Group II - Not less than 20 kPa (3 psi) ' Packing Group III - Not less than 20 kPa (3 psi)) Packaging passes the test if there is no leakage of air from the packaging. In addition to the initial qualification test, a production test must be implemented on all containers designed to contain liquids. This production test ensures that all packagings intended for the containment of hazardous material liquids, are free from manufacturing defects such as pin-hole leaks. This test is generally applied with a leak-tester on the production line of the particular packaging. Failure to implement a leak-test during production can result in penalties or fines assessed. ' • UN Certification - Hydrostatic Pressure Test (for all liquid packaging): This test is required for all packaging intended to contain liquids. The ' purpose of the test is to ensure that no leakage of liquid occurs due to vapor pressure build-up at various temperatures. Because certain chemicals can emit a vapor that increases as the temperature changes, ' packagings must be built to withstand the internal pressure that is created. An example of this might be gasoline. As the temperature rises, gasoline vapors expand, thus creating an internal pressure on the container. ' The test involves an internal pressure 1 the packaging for at least 30 minutes. The test Ippressure must beapplied continuously and evenly, and it must be kept constant throughout the test period. A hydraulic pressure gauge is connected to the top of the receptacle to record the pressure. The determination of the hydrostatic pressure rating for packaging selection is dependent upon the interaction between the hazardous materials vapor pressure and the temperature. To determine if a packaging kPa rating meets the needs for a liquid hazardous material, of two temperatures is selected to determine the vapor ' pressure. Temperature #1. ' Method A. The gauge pressure (pressure in the non-bulk container above ambient atmospheric pressure) measured in the non-bulk container at 55C • (131F) multiplied a safety determined onthe asisof the non-bulk container being filled be and closed to no more than 98 percent capacity at 15C (60F). ' http://www.darbox.com/un_certify.html The UN Certification/Approval Process for Hazardous Material Packaging Page 4 of 4 Method B. If absolute pressure (vapor pressure of the hazardous materials plus the atmospheric pressure) is used. Multiply the vapor pressure of the • hazardous material at 55C (131F) by a safety factor of 1.5 and subtract 100 kPa (14.5 psi). If his method is chosen, the hydrostatic test pressure ' applied must be at least 100 kPa gauge pressure (14.5 psig). Temperature #2. Method C. If absolute pressure (vapor pressure of the hazardous material plus atmospheric pressure) is used, multiply the vapor pressure of the hazardous materials at 50C (122F) by a safety factor of 1.75 and subtract 100 kPa (14.5 psi). If this method is chosen, the hydrostatic test pressure ' applied must be at least 100 kPa gauge pressure (14.5 psig). Note: Packaging intended to contain hazardous materials of Packing Group I must be tested to a minimum test pressure of 250 kPa (36 psi). UN Certification: Only after all these tests have been successfully completed can the testing body issue the UN Certification and the manufacturer include the appropriate "UN marking" on the packaging to indicate that it complies with the UN Specification. A Brief Footnote: The Committee actually included another test - the "Vibration Test" - in the "Orange Book". Although sometimes performed, it is still the subject of much ongoing discussion and has yet to be formally adopted. Why? Further research has shown that much of the impact of vibration during transport is a function of the location of the container within the vehicle e.g. ' • placement directly above the rear axle(s) of a truck subjects the container to significantly higher "stress" than, for example, equidistant between the front and rear axles (this is a well known phenomenon to any regular bus rider). As yet, an appropriate simulation has yet to be agreed upon. 1 ' For more information visit Darbox Ltd., the home of UN Certified Containers. Sitemap I Imprint I ©2006-2008, Darbox Ltd.

Minimum thickness standards do not apply to drums used for non-hazardous materials. (continued next page) ' • Standards&Specifications Page 9 of 10 1 i • I Steel drums' minimum thickness standards are set forth in a table with footnotes found in 49 CFR 173.28(4). The table lists seven packaging sizes from 20 liters to 450 liters. The applicable size for 55-gallon drums is 220 liters. IThe table shows that a 55-gallon drum must be at least 0.92 millimeters thick throughout. For drums with different thicknesses in body and heads, a footnote reads:ms or s and marked I intended for reuse, must be const�ctedewith a minimum on or after January 1,thickne s of 0.82 mm l997, and body and 1.11 mm heads. These DOT minimums specify the actual minimum steel thicknesses, rather than a drum's Ill marked nominal thickness. A drum's marked nominal thickness indicates a theoretical thickness midpoint from which actual ill steel. will vary. Nominal marks are used because no steel mill can roll a perfect sheet of steel. There will always be thickness variations, particularly out towards the edges of the sheet. Permissible variances (i.e., "tolerances") in steel thickness have been recognized in international standards and the U.S. hazardous materials regulations. Steel used in the manufacture of a I drum marked 0.8 may vary in actual thickness from 0.73 to 0.87 mm (+/_0.07). Obviously, then, there will be some doubt as to whether a drum body marked "0.8"will meet the DOT minimum of 0.82 mm. (Steel marked 1.1 or 1.2 may vary in actual thickness +/-0.09 mm.) IReconditioners prefer a drum that will in all cases meet the minimum actual thickness requirements of DOT. Such drums are marked either 1.0 mm (throughout) or 1.2/0.9/1.2 (top/body/bottom). Of course, drums marked with even thicker walls and heads are also acceptable. I • Drums marked 1.1/0.8/1.1 cannot be presumed to meet DOT 's minimum thickness requirements for reuse. Their actual thicknesses may fall outside the DOTs minimum for actual thickness. IllAnd drums marked simply "0.8"(throughout) obviously will not meet the 0.92 mm minimum.

Goods which are classified as dangerous for transport range from those I which are highly dangerous (such as explosives and fuming acids) to everyday products such as paints, solvents and pesticides found in the home and at work. Dangerous goods, which can also be called "Hazardous ' Materials" (mainly in the US), may be substances or products. The transport of such goods is regulated to ensure the safety of life, of the ship, aircraft or vehicle, and of other goods (such as foodstuffs) being transported. For example, solvents must be in sealed airtight containers ' otherwise the fumes could affect people in the close vicinity. Other substances may not be harmful unless they come into contact with fire or water, but for safety purposes these are also classified as dangerous • goods.

The international agreements for the carriage of dangerous goods require packaging to be of a design-type • certified by a national competent authority. This involves testing the ' packaging against the appropriate UN specification to ensure its suitability for the carriage of certain dangerous goods. Such packaging is often referred to as "type-approved", "UN Approved" or "UN certified" and marked in a particular way, prefixed by the UN logo and followed by codes. (Click here to learn more about the UN Certification Process) The UN Marking System ' The U.N. marking system indicates several characteristics of the packaging, as well as information on the test levels the packaging has successfully passed.
