Standardized HWMP Template

In accordance with (IAW) the AFCEC Environmental (CZ) Business Rule (BR) 08, EMP Review, Update, and Maintenance, the standard content in this HWMP template is reviewed periodically, updated as appropriate, and approved by the HW SME.

This version of the template is current as of 06/05/2020 and supersedes the 2018 version.

NOTE: When installations update their HWMPs, they should refer to the AF EMP Repository on eDASH to ensure the most current version is applied. Installations are not required to change HWMPs after template updates.

Installation HWMP

The initial HWMP must be approved and signed by the Installation Commander (at the time of publication) as the legal HW Generator for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ID assigned to this installation.

The approval can be via signature or as documented in appropriate Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health Council (ESOHC) minutes (AFMAN 32-7002, 3.2.2.). NOTE: This is not a Wing Contingency Plan and is not governed by installation or Wing plans or readiness format or coordination requirements of AFI 10-401, Air Force Operations Planning and Execution. It is governed by AFMAN 32-7002, Environmental Compliance and Pollution Prevention, Section 5.2. Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP). Because this is not a contingency plan, coordination should be with EMS CFT and applicable units with roles and responsibilities in the HWMP. The plan does not require a new signature after each change in wing command.

Record of Updates – The HWMP is updated as changes to waste generation and management practices occur, including those driven by changes in applicable regulations and approved by the installation HW Program Manager as the plan Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR).

1.0 OVERVIEW AND SCOPE

This HWMP contains procedures for management of HW. In lieu of federal, or state requirements, AFMAN 32-7002, acts as the main driver for the HWMP. The HW Playbook serves as supplemental guidance to this plan. Where applicable, DoD, AF, and Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements are included. Each installation must include supplements as warranted to address applicable State and/or local HW requirements/procedures.

Installation Supplement – Overview and Scope

Summary

The purpose of the Space Launch Delta 45 (SLD 45) HWMP is to provide guidance to ensure the proper handling and disposal of all hazardous waste in accordance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 260-279 and Florida Administrative Code (FAC) 62-730. The SLD 45 Hazardous Waste Management Plan is intended to be utilized by all relevant personnel and supervisors that produce or could potentially produce waste.

To ensure uniformity and continuity on environmental issues, 45 CES/CEIE Environmental Office is the single point of contact with federal, state and local environmental regulatory agencies. Each organization generating hazardous waste is responsible to identify, characterize, segregate, containerize, label, mark and minimize their wastes in accordance with federal and state regulations. Each organization must retain all records of their hazardous waste activities.

The Patrick Fence to Fence Contractor (Patrick F2F), as directed by 45 CES/CEIE Environmental Office, will provide hazardous waste management and technical support for CCSFS and PSFB, including tenants and SLD 45 mainland sites.

Downrange outside continental United States (OCONUS) sites will receive hazardous waste management and technical support from the Range Operations Support (ROS) Contractor. Hazardous wastes generated at United States (US) installations located overseas are subject to notification requirements in 40 CFR 264.12.

Federal and state hazardous waste regulations and AFMAN 32-7002 require personnel managing or handling hazardous waste to be trained no later than 6 months after assignment to hazardous waste duties and annually thereafter.

Scope

The collection, management, transportation and disposition of hazardous wastes are defined and strictly regulated in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) as amended and in the corresponding regulations in 40 CFR, Parts 260 through 280 and FAC Chapter 62-730. The collection, management, transportation and disposition of waste petroleum products and other waste are also regulated by various federal and state regulations. Civil and criminal penalties are associated with the violation of these regulations.

This plan applies to all SLD 45 personnel, contractor and tenant organizations that generate waste on CCSFS, PSFB, Jonathan Dickinson Missile Tracking Annex, Malabar Transmitter Annex and Ascension Auxiliary Air Field. Non-Department of Defense (DOD) tenants (e.g., National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Department of State and US Coast Guard) are responsible for environmental compliance, waste management and disposal in accordance with applicable regulations under their own EPA Identification Number. Commercial space companies that are required to obtain their own EPA Identification Number for their commercially generated waste may also be required to adhere to this plan.

US Space Force (USSF) hazardous waste operations on PSFB are identified by a unique EPA ID number.

PSFB stores hazardous waste in excess of 90 days under a permit issued by the FDEP.

USSF hazardous waste operations on CCSFS are identified by a unique EPA ID number. CCSFS stores hazardous waste in excess of 90 days and operates a thermal treatment unit under a permit issued by

FDEP.

USAF hazardous waste operations on Malabar Transmitter Annex (MTA) and Jonathan Dickinson Missile Tracking Annex (JDMTA) are identified by a unique EPA ID number. Both MTA and JDMTA may operate as Very Small Quantity Generators as long as the requirements of 40 CFR 262.14 are met.

USAF hazardous waste operations on Ascension Auxiliary Air Field (AAAF) are identified by a unique EPA ID number. Wastes generated from operations at this OCONUS location are retrograded back to continental United States (CONUS) for treatment or disposal.

Overview

To ensure uniformity and continuity on environmental issues, 45 CES/CEIE Environmental Office is the single point of contact with state, local and federal environmental regulatory agencies. Commercial space entities operating under a company specific EPA ID number are authorized to contact the state, local and federal environmental agencies directly and notify the Space Force (SF).

Each organization generating hazardous waste is responsible to identify, characterize, segregate, containerize, label, mark and minimize their wastes in accordance with state and federal regulations.

Each organization must also retain all records of their waste activities. SF generated waste will be profiled using the Process Waste Questionnaire (PWQ) Technical Response Package (TRP) process. This hazardous waste characterization mechanism will be performed by Patrick F2F.

Organizations utilizing contracted services and contractors utilizing sub-contractors are responsible for ensuring their contractors comply with all federal, state, local and AF environmental regulations as well as with this plan. For the purpose of contract operations the word "should" means "shall" for all contract operations pertaining to this plan.

Hazardous waste/controlled waste generated from contracted cleanup or remediation projects or construction or demolition and renovation contracts does not have to be disposed through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). If a contract is written where the contractor is responsible for the proper disposal of hazardous waste/controlled waste, the waste manifest will use the Air Force EPA ID number and the 45 CES/CEIE Hazardous Waste Program Manager will sign the manifest.

Commercial space entities operating under an executed real property agreement with the AF are required to obtain a company specific EPA ID number. These commercial contractors must manage and dispose of their hazardous waste under that number.

Under RCRA, as the landowner, the Installation Commander retains the authority to request that any tenant organization or contractor generating regulated hazardous wastes obtain their own independent EPA Identification Number.

Environmental management and technical support for CCSFS, including tenants and SLD 45 mainland sites, will be provided by the Patrick F2F as directed by 45 CES/CEIE Environmental Office. The Patrick F2F will maintain a hazardous waste site listing of all generators at PSFB and CCSFS which can be accessed by CEIE and will be supplied to emergency personnel as necessary. A hard copy of all site openings and closings will also be maintained by the Patrick F2F.

45 CES/CEIE Environmental Office will provide downrange OCONUS sites with environmental management and technical support to Range Operations Support (ROS). 45 CES/CEIE Hazardous Waste Program Manager will provide RCRA Reporting Notice to Air Force Hazardous Waste SME for any OCONUS waste entering a CONUS port or Air Force installation. Specific guidance for OCONUS downrange sites is provided in Appendix J.

Services for waste sampling, pickup, PWQ, TRP, packaging assistance and disposal of petroleum products, hazardous and controlled wastes are currently the responsibility of SLD 45 and the Patrick F2F Contractor, unless otherwise specifically identified.

Federal and State hazardous waste regulations and AFMAN 32-7002 require personnel managing or handling hazardous waste to be trained no later than 6 months after assignment to hazardous waste duties and annually thereafter. A new hazardous waste operator must work under the direction of a trained operator until hazardous waste training is received. Current guidance from FDEP defines annually as once per calendar year. In guidance from EPA, Faxback 14286, the Agency states “While it may be infeasible for companies with many employees to train each employee exactly one year after the last training, the Agency does expect companies to attempt to provide training so that personnel are trained every year.”

Personnel must maintain and at the time of inspection by SF, EPA or FDEP be able to provide documentation that they have received the required hazardous waste training as well as a job description as described in 40 CFR 262.17. Training may be obtained by contractor "In-House", commercial or Government sources.

Lead based paint removal and disposal shall be conducted in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations. All paint waste generated from paint removal operations must be containerized, sampled and analyzed to determine whether the waste meets the definition of hazardous waste.

Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) items will be managed in accordance with 40 CFR 761 and Appendix M of this plan.

Asbestos management, removal and disposal shall be conducted in accordance with Federal, State, local regulations and SLD 45 Asbestos Management Plan. Coordination with 45 CES/CEIE Environmental Office and Bioenvironmental Engineering is required prior to any asbestos operations to include disturbance, removal, or disposal.

Per 40 CFR 264.12 the USAF must notify both FDEP and EPA in writing 60 days prior to receipt of hazardous waste from a foreign source. For the SF to supply hazardous waste support to a foreign vessel, the Patrick F2F office must be notified prior to the anticipated receipt of waste with the following information:

• Nature of the waste (i.e., EPA waste codes)

• Reason/requirement for off-loading the waste.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The AF adheres to the EMS framework and its Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle for ensuring mission success.

Executive Order (EO) 13834, Efficient Federal Operations, U.S. Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 4715.17, Environmental Management Systems, AFI 32-7001, Environmental Management, and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001, Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use, provide guidance on how environmental programs should be established, implemented, and maintained to operate under the EMS framework.

The HW management program employs EMS-based processes to achieve compliance with all legal obligations and current policy drivers, effectively manage associated risks, and instill a culture of continuous improvement. The HWMP serves as an administrative operational control that defines compliance-related activities and processes.

Environmental Action Plans (EAPs) are developed and maintained as part of the overall EMS on eDASH.

EAPs are tools that translate environmental requirements and targets into actionable plans for the HWPM and responsible personnel. HW requirements should be incorporated in installation EAPs to record monitoring and conformance for inspections and audits.

Reporting

The HW Program Manager, and other designated personnel, generate needed reports from the Enterprise Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health - Management Information System (EESOH-MIS).

Enforcement actions, spills, and inspections are reported via the Enforcement Actions, Spills, and Inspections Environmental Reporting (EASIER) database.

Installation Supplement – Recordkeeping and Reporting

SLD 45 Environmental Office uses the Hazardous Waste Site Master database for all quarterly inspections conducted by Patrick F2F Support Contractor.

Hazardous Waste Shipping Log database is kept for all off-site shipments from CCSFS.

EASIER database is maintained for all CCSFS reported spills.

7.0 PROCEDURES

This section contains procedures for managing HW from identification, accumulation, offsite transportation, and disposal. The HW Program Manager ensures that appropriate procedures are properly communicated and followed by all necessary personnel.

7.1 Waste Inventory

A current waste inventory can be generated within EESOH-MIS using the Ad-Hoc Reporting Tool or by completing the following steps:

• Log into EESOH-MIS, select the “Reporting” option, and select “Hazardous Waste” to generate the Waste Site Waste Stream Summary Report.

The resulting waste inventory report can be placed into Appendix B, Hazardous Waste Streams/Profiles.

Installation Supplement – Waste Inventory

SLD 45 personnel manually record all items brought into the TSDF and 90-day sites per RCRA permit.

7.2 Waste Identification

The HW Program Manager determines the nature of waste based on a detailed qualitative analysis of the regulated waste generating process, associated Safety Data Sheet (SDS) information, and coordination with generating activity personnel involved in the use of hazardous materials. If uncertainties about a waste stream exist, the HW Program Manager pursues waste stream sampling and analysis IAW the Waste Analysis Plan (WAP) found in Appendix A.

The WAP details the wastes that have been evaluated and analyzed, a description of the testing and analytical methods used, the HW sampling methods used, the location of samples taken for analysis and frequency, sample documentation, sample quality assurance and quality control procedures, and sample request procedures.

Generator knowledge and the results of the WAP are used to minimize waste re-characterizations to those instances where a process change has occurred or the waste stream is highly variable.

Installation Supplement – Waste Identification

Process Waste Questionnaires and Technical Response Packages

• All waste generating organizations at PSFB and CCSFS and mainland annex shall provide a PWQ for each waste stream for appropriate characterization prior to waste generation (Figure 1).

The generator should provide as much information on the PWQ as possible about the waste stream, such as waste generating processes, chemical analysis and/or safety data sheets (SDS) for the materials used to generate the waste. Organizations that generate characteristic waste must identify any UHCs that may be present in the waste stream. A PWQ addendum may be issued to the waste generating organization for disclosure of the UHCs. Once the Environmental Coordinator has determined the PWQ to be complete, it must be submitted to the Patrick F2F Contractor at 45CES.ESC.HazWasteSupport@us.af.mil. NOTE: If the PWQ does not contain complete and detailed information about the waste and the waste generation process, it may be returned to the waste generating organization for additional information. This slows down the process of generating a TRP.

• A Process Waste Code and handling information will be provided in writing through a TRP prepared and provided by the Patrick F2F. The TRP provides a waste determination as well as information pertaining to required labels, markings, containers, sampling, and disposition instructions. The information given on a TRP is specific and changes to this information by the generator are not authorized. If no TRP has been received for the PWQ within seven working days, contact the Patrick F2F or your environmental coordinator to determine the status of the evaluation.

• Any questions or concerns about a particular waste stream shall be answered by the generator or the generator's Environmental Coordinator. Disagreements between the Patrick F2F and the generator or the generator's Environmental Coordinator on a particular waste stream shall be resolved by the 45 CES/CEIE Environmental Office.

• Only after the TRP has been received by the generator or the generator's Environmental Coordinator can a waste be processed for disposition through the waste support request process.

• For any unknown waste that is discovered or if a generator is unable to predict waste properties prior to generation, the waste containers should be labeled with a "Hazardous Waste Determination in Progress (HWDIP)" label and managed in an accumulation site. The label should be filled out completely to reflect the date on which the accumulation started, contents, a point of contact, phone number and organization responsible for managing the waste. The organization responsible for managing the waste must track on the label and in a log the date the analysis request was submitted, the date the sample was taken, the date the analysis results were received and the date the PWQ was submitted. The entire process should not take longer than 90 days. For new or unknown waste streams the accumulation start date will be defined as the date upon which the technical response package (TRP) is issued. For existing waste streams that are mailto:45CES.ESC.HazWasteSupport@us.af.mil sampled to identify which TRP is applicable (usually hazardous or non-hazardous), the accumulation start date will be defined as the date of the chemical analysis lab report.

• No wastes or rinsates may be discharged to the sanitary sewer system without prior authorization provided by CLOIS for CCSFS and 45 CES/CEIE for PSFB through the PWQ/TRP system.

• At no time shall wastes be discharged to grade or to waters of the State of Florida without authorization from the State of Florida through the 45 CES/CEIE Environmental Office.

Sampling and Analysis Support

• It is the generator's responsibility to determine whether the generated waste meets the waste description on the original PWQ for that waste stream. If the generator is unsure whether the generated waste meets the PWQ waste description, sampling and analysis shall be conducted for verification. The sampling and analysis section of the TRP provides the recommended analysis parameters.

• Support for sampling and analysis is requested by submitting a Sampling and Analysis Authorization Form (see Figure 2) to Patrick F2F via email to 45CES.ESC.HazWasteSupport@us.af.mil or by calling 321-423-8391. The Sampling and Analysis Authorization Form requires the requester (generator) to identify necessary information such as: on-site contact, number of samples to be taken, sampling parameters, waste location, what type of container the waste is in, date when analysis should be completed, etc. If you call Patrick F2F to make sampling and analysis arrangements, they will require the same information.

• Patrick F2F Sampling will provide a tracking number for the sampling operation. The generator or Environmental Coordinator shall retain this number for future reference

7.3 Container Management

Container management procedures are as follows:

• Containers storing HW must be in good condition and meet transportation and other applicable requirements. “Good condition” means there should be no severe rusting, no sharp-edged creases or dents, no bulging heads, and no severe structural defects.

• Ensure that the waste material will not react with the container itself.

• Use plastic or plastic-lined steel drums to safely store corrosive wastes.

• Immediately transfer the contents of a leaking container to another container or over pack into a salvage drum.

• Containers with free liquid or drum contents on top must be cleaned or over packed in the case of a leak.

• Containers must remain closed at all times except when adding or removing waste.

• Adequate headspace must be maintained at all times when filling a container to account for content expansion. The required headspace is unique to each waste stream and expected storage conditions.

For liquids and volatile chemicals, a general rule is to not fill to more than 85% of container capacity to allow for temperature changes, and this equates to approximately four inches of headspace in a typical 55-gallon drum. The ultimate requirement is performance based, such that drums do not bulge or leak. A good inspection process will enable any recommendations for specific waste streams as appropriate.

• Containers holding HW must not be opened, handled, or stored in a manner which may rupture the container or cause it to leak.

• Containers of flammable liquids must be grounded when transferring flammable liquids from one container to the other.

Installation Supplement – Container Management

• Prior to waste generation, each generator will complete a Process Waste Questionnaire (PWQ) and submit it to the Patrick F2F for characterization and waste disposal determination. Patrick F2F will provide each generator with a TRP. The TRP identifies the proper container to be used for collection of each waste.

• It is the responsibility of the generator of a hazardous or controlled waste to ensure that the waste is placed in a US Department of Transportation (DOT) approved shipping containers, marked, labeled, and stored in compliance with the requirements of 40 CFR 262.30-32, 49 CFR 172.304, 173, 178 and 179. This requirement applies when accumulation of waste begins.

• Generators should maintain an appropriate number of approved containers to adequately meet their waste generation needs. Both Patrick F2F and 45 CES/CEIE maintain stock of DOT containers that can be issued to a generator in an emergency on a reimbursable basis.

Refer to Appendix F – Waste Container Management Plan for detailed information on container management.

7.4. Labeling and Marking

Containers used for the accumulation and transportation of HW are properly labeled IAW applicable laws and regulations.

Each container is properly marked and labeled from an IAP to HWAS to disposal/turn-in. The waste-generating activity ensures that the label on each waste container is clearly visible for inspection.
