PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE EVENT OF A FLOOD:

I. Sinks

        The sinks in the lab have 3 sources of water. DI
        supply, DI return, and ICW. In the event of a flood,
        these three supply valves should be turned off.

        In the new lab, sink shut-off valves are found in service chases
        associated with each group of sinks (CG-2, CY-2, CV-2, CV-3
        and CR-1).

        In the old lab, sink shut-off valves are located in
        the rear of a sink or to the right (HF sink).

        After shutting off these valves please use the
        emergency phone list to notify a staff member.

II. Equipment

        Equipment may have several sources of water. If
        there is a flood associated with a piece of
        equipment try and find the shut-off valves. These
        are located in the service chases (new lab) or on the wall
        (old lab). The main service chase water valves are labeled
        "IN CASE OF FLOOD CLOSE THIS VALVE".

        If you have trouble locating water lines the following information
        may be useful:

        Color-codes for tubing supplying utilities such as water.

                1) Orange = ICW
                2) Clear = DI (1/2")
                3) Black = DI Return (1/2")
                4) Clear with blue tape = Recirc. supply
                5) Clear with red tape = Recirc. return

        Shutoff valves in service chases are typically at the user level.
        If shutting these off fails to stop a leak, immediately call a
        staff member. If you fail to reach staff call OPR:

        The utilities connections in the service chases of the new lab
        originate from lines that run overhead.  There is a master shut-off
        valve for each utility near the ceiling, above each service chase.
        Access for these valves requires a ladder. One can be found in the
        oldlab gas storage room, 432E.

        After shutting off the necessary valves please contact a staff member
        on the emergency phone list.

III. Cleaning up after a leak

        Use the wet-vac tank and necessary tools from 432E (gas
        storage room to vacuum up the water on the floor. To hook
        up the wet vac:

        a) Connect the orange flex-hose to the yellow house
        vacuum pipe in the upper right hand corner of the
        appropriate service chase. In the old lab these connections
        are on the cement column near the ionmill and in
        432D by the gas cabinet.

        b) Connect the other end of the orange flex-tube to
        the wet-vac tank port marked "Exhaust".

        c) Connect the smaller black flex-hose to the other
        port on the wet-vac tank.

        d) Connect the long handled tool labeled wet-vac to the
        black flex-hose.

        e) Turn on the house vacuum system at one of the
        three switches. The house system provides the suction for
        the system. The switches are located by CY-1,CV-2
        and on the column near the ionmill. The light comes
        on when the system is activated and it is automatically
        turned off every 15 minutes of use.

        f) While cleaning up the water, periodically check the
        water level in the canister. Over filling it will make
        it difficult to move it to the drain. It has a safety
        shut-off when full.

        f) Move the wet-vac tank to the floor drain located at the
        lab entrance near the shelves where the gloves are kept.
        Empty the wet-vac tank by opening the valve on its side allowing
        the water to flow out into the floor drain.

        g) When you have finished, replace the tools and report the
        incident on the wand under utilities-problems.
