The establishment of the NASA provided EPOC in no way relieves the contractor for compliance with requirements defined in 40 CFR 761.

LIQUIDS CONTAMINATED WITH PCBs

PCB containers storing liquid PCBs at concentrations of 50 parts per million (ppm) or greater shall be removed from the generator accumulation site within 24 hours from the date the PCB item was removed from service. This support shall be coordinated through the Contracting Officer for waste pickup scheduling before removal from service. The Contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer for pick-up and removal of all PCB related waste. The Contractor shall not remove any oil filled transformers from KSC. Unless analysis results determine PCB content in oil less than 2 ppm, the contractor shall coordinate any disposal of liquid PCBs through the Contracting officer.

(a) For Equipment containing PCB concentration in OIL >= 500 ppm

LIQUIDS: Drained oil must be stored in a DOT approved container and marked with a PCB label (with the date the equipment was removed from service). Containerized liquid PCB waste must be moved to PCB storage facility immediately (within 24 hours). Coordinate effort through EPOC - 5 day notice prior to removal from service is required.

CARCASS or CONTAINER: Drained equipment must be marked with a PCB label (with the date the equipment was removed from service), stored on an impervious surface, covered from rain, and moved offsite within 30 calendar days.

(b) For Equipment containing PCB concentration in OIL >50 ppm but < 500 ppm

LIQUIDS: Drained oil must be stored in an adequate container on an impervious surface, covered from rain, labeled, and moved offsite immediately (within 24 hours).

CARCASS or CONTAINER: Drained equipment must be stored on an impervious surface, covered from rain, dated and moved offsite as soon as practicable (not to 180 exceed days). If carcass paint is analyzed for PCBs and results < 50 ppm - No storage, marking, or dating requirement are required under TSCA regulations. Provide analysis results to RRMF along with KSC Form 7-49 to recycle.

All protective coatings that contain PCB shall be handled in accordance with the requirements of this section.

Where Safety Data Sheets for protective coatings are available and indicate the presence of PCBs, sampling is not required. Sampling and analysis for PCBs shall be conducted for coatings where presence of PCBs has not been determined based on age of coating and/or prior analysis results of same or like coatings.

The following waste generator standards will be used for the accumulation and storage of PCB waste materials:

(a) PCB wastes listed below may be stored temporarily at a waste generator accumulation site for up to thirty (30) days from the date removed from service. The container and labeling shall comply with the TRP. The date the PCB item was removed from service shall be marked on the container label per the TRP.

(1) Non-leaking articles and equipment. PCB articles are manufactured articles containing PCBs whose surfaces have been in direct contact with PCBs. These articles include capacitors, transformers, electric motors, and pumps.

(2) Leaking articles and equipment placed in non-leaking PCB containers with sufficient materials to absorb any liquid PCBs remaining in the item. PCB containers are any devices used to contain PCBs or PCB articles whose surfaces have been in direct contact with PCBs.

(3) PCB containers storing non-liquid PCB wastes such as contaminated soil and debris.

(b) PCB containers storing liquid PCBs at concentrations of 50 parts per million (ppm) or greater shall be removed from the generator accumulation site to the PCB Storage Building (K7-115) within 24 hours from the date the PCB item was removed from service. Support shall be coordinated through designated KSC Waste Management personnel for waste pickup before removal from service date to allow for waste pickup scheduling and to avoid regulatory violations. The Contractor shall contact KSC Waste Management for pick-up and removal of hazardous/PCB waste. Documentation including the waste type, quantity, locations, and organization responsible for the waste shall be provided on KSC Form 28-809 “Waste Support Request” to KSC Waste Management when requesting waste disposal. The Contractor shall fax the waste support request to KSC Waste Management at fax 867-9466.

The Contractor shall not remove any oil filled transformers from KSC. The Contractor shall only take drained transformers to the Reutilization, Recycling and Marketing Facility (RRMF) (M6-1671) at Ransom Road. Within the six (6) month period prior to delivery to RRMF, transformers shall have an oil analysis showing PCB content. At the request of the Contractor, the CO will arrange for all sampling and testing to determine the proper handling and disposal of the transformers. If the oil sample is greater than 50 ppm, the transformer cannot be managed through the RRMF and must be managed through KSC Waste Management per application Process Waste Questionnaire Technical Response Package (PWQTRP) instructions. Within 48 hours of having the transformer ready for disposal, the Contractor shall contact the EPOC assigned to the project to coordinate with KSC Waste Management for pick-up and removal of hazardous/PCB waste. The EPOC will submit the waste pickup request through the on-line Waste Management System. At the request of the NASA Project Manager, the EPOC will arrange for all sampling and testing to determine the proper handling and disposal of the stained or painted concrete. Lab analysis that is older than six months will not be considered valid analysis and re-sampling must be completed.

PCB BULK PRODUCT WASTE (SOLIDs)

PCB Bulk Product Waste is defined in 40 CFR 761.3 as waste derived from manufactured products containing PCBs in a non-liquid state at any concentration, where the concentration of PCBs at the time of designation for disposal is greater than or equal to (≥)50 ppm. The contractor shall dispose of all coated waste with a PCB concentration over the 50 ppm limit in the Schwartz Road landfill (see Schwartz Road Landfill KSC Project Specific Requirement) if not determined to be a hazardous waste. NASA requires all contractors generating metal-based waste containing PCB contaminated coatings with PCBs ≤50 ppm to recycle this material (see Recycling and Salvaging KSC Project Specific Requirement). If these materials cannot be recycled due to excessive cost in segregation or handling, the contractor shall dispose of this waste in the same manner as PCB Bulk Product Waste.

J-B-25 HAZARDOUS WASTES (MAY 2019)

Hazardous and controlled waste shall be managed in accordance with all applicable statutes, rules, orders, and regulations which may include but are not limited to 40 CFR Parts 260 - 268, 273, 279, 761 and KNPR

8500.1 KSC Environmental Management Requirements. All hazardous waste generated during the execution of this contract shall be disposed of by the Government. Unless directed by the Contracting officer, in no case shall the Contractor or the Contractor’s representative transport hazardous waste from KSC. KSC Form 26-551, Process Waste Questionnaire (PWQ), shall be prepared and processed for all waste streams generated during execution of this project.

(a) The Contractor shall be responsible for identifying processes and operations and the location and nature of all potentially hazardous and controlled waste and their containers, as defined in 40 CFR Parts 261, 273, 279, or 761. KSC has established policies and procedures in place to assist the contractor for characterization, handling and storage of wastes generated on KSC. Any request for assistance shall be in writing and submitted to the Contracting officer.

Attendance at KSC Training Course QG-211 "Hazardous Waste Management" will satisfy the above training requirements.

(c) The Contractor shall prepare copies of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) 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 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. 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.

SATELLITE WASTE ACCUMULATION AREA (SAA)

The Contractor shall establish an on-site Satellite Waste Accumulation Area (SAA) within 50 feet of and within sight of any point where hazardous or controlled wastes may be generated. If an SAA must be more than 50 feet 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) 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 SAA 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 SAA in accordance with KNPR 8500.1 (as revised).
