Wicked Hills Off Road - Hazardous Materials Spill Control Plan
*First and foremost, the person who causes the spill is responsible for protecting people, animals and the environment. They will also be responsible for the clean-up and disposal costs of contaminated materials.
Take responsibility, be proactive and protect our environment!
When a spill occurs the following steps must be taken to protect people and property.
1. Make sure everyone in the area knows you have a spill. Call Wicked Hills management. {Jeff LaVerdiere 207-649-6834}
2. Use Oil control pads eg. "Pig Pads" and oil-dry granules eg. "Speedy Dri" to stop the spill where it is. (These items will be available for purchase, at check-in, if you do not already have them onboard.) It is important to keep the spill from spreading and contaminating earth or water.
3. Wicked Hills management will bring spill control and clean-up items to the site ASAP. These will include, oil pads, oil-dry granules, catch pans, shovels, rakes, rubber gloves, HD drum liners or 55 gal. barrel as needed, fire extinguishers, respirator, protective glasses, lights plus chains& straps. We will also carry "Plug n Dike granules. This product can be mixed with water, windshield wash and other common liquids to make a paste used to seal oil, fuel and other leaks temporarily. Ask if you would like to purchase some.
4. Always try to stop the leak as to prevent further contamination.
5. Spill control lockers are located on the map and have basic spill control items inside if you need more to control a spill. Please don’t take the supplies "just in case".
6. Contaminated materials must be removed from the site and placed in appropriate containers that will allow transport and proper disposal. Small spills can be cleaned with shovels and 5 gallon plastic pails with sealed covers. Larger spills will require the use of an excavator and 55 gallon drums. Wicked Hills will oversee the proper disposal of contaminated materials.
7. Hazardous Materials spills will be reported to DEP @ 1-800-482-0777
