HAZARDOUS WASTE REMOVAL Keeping the Public Safe

The Hazardous Materials Team has four goals for its program of removing hazardous waste:

Protect the Public

Prevent materials from entering the waterway

Promote the safe handling and disposal of hazardous materials

Partner with other agencies in the prevention and mitigation of hazardous events

The Hazardous Materials Team responds to any Hazardous Material incident within the County right-of-way, County easement, or Cities of Citrus Heights and Elk Grove. An incident could include abandoned drums, spills on the roadway, dumping into waterways or drain inlets, hypodermic needles, and traffic control for multi-agency response.

 

Operational Procedures

Hazardous Material staff responds to incidents when reported by citizens, County crews, or other agencies such as Fire Department, CHP Sheriff’s Department or Environmental Management. Incident responses abide by the following procedure:

Prioritize the incident, depending on severity of the incident and available staff.
Determine material type (Oil, Fuels, Hypodermic Needles, etc.)
Contact the Sheriff’s Department, Fire Department or other agencies when material or object is questionable or beyond the County’s scope of responsibility, equipment or capabilities
Provide traffic control, if needed
