San Bernardino County has a Very High river flood risk rating from FEMA, and floodwater can tip over tanks and drums and carry hazardous materials across a site. Mentone is fairly dry, at about 13 inches of precipitation a year, so a spill on soil can linger in place until it is removed.
A typical hazmat cleanup job includes:
- Collection of spilled product with absorbents, pads, socks and suitable tools
- Containment of fuel, oil, solvent and chemical spills so they do not reach drains or soil
- Control of fumes and odors with ventilation and treatment suited to the material
- Removal of contaminated soil, gravel, flooring and debris from the release area
- Hauling of hazardous waste to a facility that can legally accept it

Questions About Hazardous Materials Cleanup in Mentone, CA
Can a hazmat crew help after a flood or fire?

Who responds to the emergency first?
Fire and emergency crews respond to immediate dangers, so call 911 first. They make the scene safe. Cleanup usually follows once they release the site. You can then get a cleanup team for removal, cleaning and disposal, and learn what records to keep.
Does insurance cover hazmat cleanup?

What is the difference between hazmat and biohazard?

Can a landlord order hazmat cleanup after a move-out?
