"Hazardous Waste Management" will satisfy the above training requirements.

(d) The Contractor shall prepare copies of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each material utilized on the project and provide copies to the Contracting Officer (CO) thirty (30) days before the start of the waste generation process. No substances shall be delivered to KSC without the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets.

GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE

KSC has established procedures for the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous waste.

To aide with proper compliance of site-specific requirements, the Government will assign a NASA Environmental Point of Contact (EPOC) for each project. The EPOC shall, upon request, assist with waste hazard determination, packaging, labeling, and disposal requirements for waste generated on KSC. The establishment of the NASA EPOC in no way relieves the contractor for compliance with requirements defined in 40 CFR Parts 261, 273, 279, or 761.

WASTE CONTAINERS

The Government will provide DOT compliant storage containers and labels upon request. The Contractor shall request the storage containers, by providing quantity and type needed, in writing to the Contracting Officer a minimum of one week before the required need date. The containers will be available for pickup by the Contractor at a location designated by the Contracting Officer. For projects that will be generating large quantities of waste (>500 gallon or 75 cu feet), a two week notice must be provided to the CO to ensure availability of waste containers. The Contractor shall be responsible for transporting the containers from storage location to the project site.

SATELLITE WASTE ACCUMULATION AREA (SAA)

The Contractor shall establish an on-site Satellite Waste Accumulation Area within 50 feet

(ft) of and within sight of any point where hazardous or controlled wastes may be generated. If a Satellite Waste Accumulation Area must be more than 50 ft from the point of generation, or out of sight of the generator, the Contractor shall provide a written request to the CO fourteen (14) days before the start of the waste generating process. The CO will send a notification to the NASA Environmental Assurance Branch (EAB), SI-E2, for their review and concurrence. The EAB will then request approval for a non-routine Satellite Waste Accumulation Area from Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The Contractor shall not place the Satellite Waste Accumulation Area in service before receiving written approval of the variance from the CO. The Contractor shall store potential or identified hazardous and/or controlled wastes in the appropriate properly labeled containers inside the Satellite Waste Accumulation Area in accordance with KNPR 8500.1 (as revised).

UNKNOWN WASTES

If during the course of the project unidentified waste is discovered by the contractor or subcontractors, the contractor shall immediately contact the Contracting Officer and handle the waste as hazardous. The contractor shall not attempt to move, open or test any unknown commodities.

If a hazardous/nonhazardous waste determination cannot be made by process knowledge and no MSDS is available for the waste stream, the container of waste shall be marked with a Hazardous Waste Determination In Progress (HWDIP) label until chemical analysis is completed. At the request of the Contractor, the CO and EPOC will provide any analytical support required by the TRP. The EPOC will arrange for all sampling and testing of potentially hazardous or controlled waste.

If the material is hazardous, the analysis completion date serves as the accumulation start date (ASD). Waste streams labeled with HWDIP labels are a potentially hazardous waste stream; therefore they must be managed as a hazardous waste. In order to fulfill this requirement, the generator shall manage those containers in a Satellite Waste Accumulation Area or 90-day storage area. HWDIP waste generated in amounts less than 55 gallons may be managed as a satellite container. If HWDIP waste is generated in amounts greater than 55 gallons, the additional volume must be moved within 72 hours to a 90-day storage site.

UNIVERSAL WASTES (UW)

For items meeting the definition of UW, the Contractor shall handle, collect and manage in accordance with 40 CFR 273 and Chapters 62-730 and 62-737 FAC. The EPA established Universal Waste regulations to ease the requirements for managing hazardous wastes that can be recycled. Waste streams currently adopted by the State for management as UW are rechargeable batteries, mercury-containing lamps and devices, capacitors, and certain pesticides.

The Contractor’s representative or “Handler” of UW shall be trained for the proper waste handling and emergency response procedures.
