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-34 HAZARDOUS WASTES (AUG 2024)

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.

(b) Contractor personnel generating and managing the waste shall have hazardous waste training per 40 CFR 262.17 and KNPR 8500.1, Hazardous Waste Storage section. The Contracting Officer may at any time during the course of the contract performance period require the Contractor to provide individual training records for any employee involved in the performance of this contract, and the contents of the course or courses completed to satisfy the training requirements. 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).

HAZARDOUS WASTE SATELLITE ACCUMULATION AREAS

This clause applies to FDEP/EPA SAA that are the responsibility of the contractor. See KNPR

8500.1 latest revision for more information. For these areas, the following apply (request examples of documentation from the contracting officer, if needed):

(a) A contingency plan is required to be submitted to the NASA Environmental Assurance Branch through the Contracting Officer for review at least 30 calendar days prior to establishing a SAA and posted at the site

(b) Waste must be managed in accordance with 40 CFR 260-279, Protection of Environment

(c) The SAA is required to be roped off with signs saying, “Danger – Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out,” posted on each side of the roped off area. The sign must also include name and phone number for the contractor’s responsible person(s)

(d) No smoking signs are required to be posted conspicuously on each side of this roped off area

(e) At least 7 calendar days prior to creating the SAA, the contractor shall hold a training for all personnel who could generate a waste to include but not limited to - how to know they have generated a hazardous waste; know the waste must be managed/handled in accordance with RCRA regulations; be able to understand and implement contractors contingency plan

(f) Be able to provide the government documentation that training was held and who attended upon request

(g) Refresher training shall be completed within 13 months of initial training

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.

The container of waste shall be marked with a Hazardous Waste Determination In Progress (HWDIP) label until waste has been evaluated by KSC Waste Management through the PWQTRP process. At the request of the Contractor, the CO and EPOC will provide any analytical support required by the PWQTRP. 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, and aerosol cans certain pesticides.

The Contractor’s representative or “Handler” of UW shall be trained for the proper waste handling and emergency response procedures. Attendance at the KSC training course QG-299 “Universal Waste Rule” will satisfy the above. The Contractor shall provide to the CO training records of any “handler” of UW upon request of the CO.

J-B-35 USED OIL MANAGEMENT (AUG 2024)

Any lubricant that has been refined from crude oil (or synthetic oil) that has been "used,” and as a result of such use is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities, shall be considered Used Oil.

Used oil, including hydraulic fluid, shall be managed according to regulations established in 40 CFR 279, Chapter 62-710, FAC and NASA Procedural Document KNPR 8500.1, KSC Environmental Management Requirements.
