SR-71, Disposal Plan Challenge & Solution Challenge - During the first hour of full operations the main shredder experienced a hydraulic leak The loss of hydraulic pressure immediately shut down the entire system. One of the hydraulic hoses separated from the coupling and resulted in the release of approx gallons of hydraulic fluid Solution - The spill was immediately isolated, contained, and cleaned up by the Tri-Rinse staff in accordance with the provisions of their contract The spilled hydraulic fluid was contained on the rubber containment mats under the shredder and with the addition of absorbent and absorbent pillows The contaminated absorbent was place on a DRMS HW disposal contract & removed

SR-71, Disposal Plan Challenge & Solution Challenge - During the shredding process we experienced a fire that was caused by hot metal mixed with the shredded wooden boxes, crates & packing materials Smoke was immediately detected by the operator and a DRMS employee monitoring the operation Attempts by the SR-71 team to distinguish the smoldering content with fire extinguishers failed The Fire Department was immediately called and extinguished the fire Solution – We placed a spotter with a water hose to observe the shredding process and continuously wet down the content as it enters the roll-off
