A plurality of panels is releasably engageable with the upper framework and form an enclosure around the opening. At least one vapor discharge outlet fluidly communicates with the material storage compartment and a vacuum pump to allow the capture of vapors exiting from the opening when the cover is opened and the temporary hood is engaged with the vessel.
