SECTION VIII - SPILL AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIALS IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Observe safety precautions in sections 4 & 9 during clean-up. Absorb spill on an inert absorbent material; pick up and place in a clean D.O.T.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
Liquids cannot be sent to landfills unless solidified. Unusable product and some collected, spent use-dilutions may require disposal as a
hazardous waste at a permitted treatment/storage/disposal facility. In most states hazardous wastes in total amounts of 220 lbs. or less per
month may be disposed of in a chemical or industrial waste landfill. If company effluent is ultimately treated by a publicly owned treatment
works, neutralization of spent tank-solutions with subsequent discharge to the sewer may be possible. Consult local, state and federal
agencies for proper disposal method in your area.
