Hazmat placarding

I wasn't aware oily water needed or even has an msds for it. I'm not sure you understand what I do. A bilge tank on the ship is pretty much like a drain pan. All waste water go here. Except for human waste.

If you go back to my question, I was asking what is the flash point that's makes the load a hazaradous one. I kinda needed a refresher and jeepers was happy to give me the answer. DONE!!

There are only a few places we can dispose oily water at. Here in the bay area, its either evergreen or riverbank. The former only accepts oily water with 85% water anything less has to go to the latter. How is it possible to sell this back when its mixed with everything else? A ship has more than one bilge tank. Sometimes its mostly water with light oil, sometimes its sludge and a real pain to load if not heated. I see your hauling gas so you know all dot requirements. We don't haul too much hazardous waste requiring placarding. I take a sample when I'm done to figure out what manifest will be used either a non-haz or a haz waste. You can. smell it if it has diesel in it. NOW, at what point is this a flamable liquid. Please enlighten me again.

 

Sorry but I couldn't pm you back. Still new.
I appreciate the offer but I have all the books already. Do you really think im going to haul haz with out the proper certs? I'm not losing my license for stupidity.

I've been dragging tanker and have experience hauling hazardous materials.
You yourself are telling me to placard as a haz waste. If I am required to placard, What's the proper shipping name for oily water?
. What's the difference from me and the. guy pumping used oil at the local oil changer say clean harbor or saftykleen? He has a waste manifest, why isn't he placarding. Just because you have a hazardous waste doesn't mean it requires placarding.

So why would I have to placard if you don't think my load will flash? Already the shipping description is" Non-rcra hazardous waste liquid(oily water)"
What makes it a flamable liquid? From what you and gas guy is telling me, I have to placard regardless. But I thought its just as illegal to placard when not required. Like I tried to explain I have no idea my load is flamable till I get to offload facility and my load is rejected due to low flash. At that point, it would be noted on the manifest and so now I will be required to placard properly and manifest corrected with proper shipping name. Done! But the whole thing is I drove it from the port to the o f not knowing its a flamable liquid. Yes, I did pull a sample but I only test for water content. That determines what manifest and where its going

I know what I'm doing really. It all goes back to my question that started this: at what point does the load become flamable? I forgot what the flash point was and jeepers linked me to the info. I got it now. Even saved it on my phone. You and guy still have not answered that question. But jeepers did already.

So what is your experience with hazardous mat/waste? Its easy to agree with someone and throw info out there like csa2010 is gonna get me. But I'm on here to ask a question and got the answer. I am not convinced you and guy understand what I am saying though. This is California. Haz regs are pretty strict here. Check the ca dept of toxic substances for more info. THANKS AN I DO APPRECIATE YOUR OFFER. Be safe out there
