, Physical method of confinement by which barriers are
constructed to prevent or reduce the quantity of liquid
What is Damming... flowing into the environment. Consists of constructing a
barrier across a waterway to stop/control the product
flow and pick up liquid or solid contaminants
Spill control tactic used to trap floating lighter than
water materials behind the dam. Dam is constructed in a
What is Underflow
manner that allows uncontaminated water to flow
Damming ...
unobstructed under the dam while keeping the
contaminant behind the dam.
Spill control tactic used to trap sinking heavier than
What is Overflow water materials behind the dam. With the product
Damming... trapped, uncontaminated water is allowed to flow
unobstructed over the top of the dam.
Physical method of confinement by which barriers are
constructed on ground used to control the movement of
What is Diking... liquids, sludges, solids, or other materials. Prevents the
passage of hazmat from entering an area where it will
produce more harm.
Physical method of confinement by which a liquid is
What is retention... temporarily contained in an area where it can be
absorbed, neutralized, or picked up for proper disposal
Chemical method of confinement by which certain
chemical and biological agents are used to disperse or
What is dispersion... break up the material involved in liquid spills on water
may result in spreading the hazardous material over a
large area.
Absorption occurs when one material enters the cell
structure of another and is retianed within. Absorbents
What is absorption...
retain the properties of the materials they absorb and
must be treated and disposed of as hazardous material
