SECTION ONE Introduction

1.1 AUTHORITY

According to the Federal Facilities Compliance Act of October 6, 1992, federal facilities no longer have immunity to civil and administrative penalties and fines from non-compliance of federal and state solid and hazardous waste regulations. Therefore, Rock Island Arsenal (RIA) shall comply with the requirements of all federal, State of Illinois and local solid and hazardous waste regulations.

This document sets forth integrated solid waste management procedures, techniques, and practices that will ensure an effective/compliant Solid Waste program on Rock Island Arsenal

1.2 APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS

In 1965, the United States Congress passed the Solid Waste Disposal Act to improve solid waste disposal methods. This Act was amended in 1976 by the Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA). In 1984, RCRA was further amended with the Hazardous and Solid Waste

Amendment (HSWA) to reflect changing needs due to trends of noncompliance. In recent years, federal facilities have come under increasing public scrutiny.

The 1984 amendment significantly expanded the scope and detailed the requirements mandated by RCRA. Under Subtitle D of RCRA, the technical standards are set forth for the management of solid waste on facilities. The subtitle encourages local agencies to develop and implement solid waste management plans.

In addition to the governing RCRA rules that mandate solid waste management plans, the Army specifically identifies the requirement to develop and implement an Integrated Solid Waste

Management Plan (ISWMP) in Army Regulation 200-1, Army Pamphlet 200-1, and Army

Regulation 420-1. (See Website section for Army Regulation web sites)

Appendix A presents a table of many additional state, federal, local, Army, and RIA regulations and orders that apply to the management of solid waste.

1.3 FACILITY DESCRIPTION

General Description of RIA: Rock Island Arsenal is an Army installation under the Installation

Management Command (IMCOM). The Arsenal is located just north of the City of Rock Island, Illinois on a 948.98 acre island situated in the Mississippi River. Rock Island Arsenal itself is

1.5 DEFINITIONS

Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste is the waste from building materials, packaging, and rubble from construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition operations on pavements, houses, commercial buildings, and other structures. C&D waste includes masonry, wood, metals, plastics, paper, glass, brush, tree stumps, and miscellaneous fill material.

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is the residential and commercial solid waste generated within a community. Municipal solid waste, in general terms, includes all items that are discarded and are, or could be, taken to a sanitary landfill. MSW includes most recyclable items. Generally excluded items are hazardous wastes, liquid wastes (except from housing areas), medical wastes, radioactive wastes, sanitary sewage and wastewater, and petroleum, oil, and lube (POL) products.

Solid Waste is garbage, refuse, sludge, and other discarded solid materials resulting from industrial, commercial, and agricultural operations and from community activities. It does not include solid or dissolved material in domestic sewage or other significant pollutants in water resources, such as silt, dissolved or suspended solids in industrial wastewater effluents, dissolved materials in irrigation return flows, or other common water pollutants.

Yard Clippings includes leaves, grass, vegetables, or other garden debris, shrubbery or brush or tree trimmings less than 4 feet in length and 2 inches in diameter than can be converted to compost humus. Yard clippings do not include stumps, agricultural waste, animal waste, sewage sludge, or garbage.

Wood is tree branches, bark, lumber, pallets, wood chips, sawdust, or other wood or wood product, but does not include scrap wood, treated wood, painted wood, or any wood or wood product that has been contaminated during manufacture or use. Treated wood is wood or wood product that has been treated with CCA, ACQ, or ACZA. Scrap wood is wood or wood product that is mixed with glue or filler or has been treated with creosote or pentachlorophenol.

1.6 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP) presents the necessary elements of practice and policy to meet the requirements of applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

The primary objectives of the plan include:

• To document the current solid waste management policy for the RIA to achieve waste reduction and diversion goals set by the Army, the Department of Defense, and the state and federal governments

• Meet federal and local regulations on the management of solid waste.

This ISWMP sets RIA policy objectives for reducing the volume of solid waste, effectively managing solid waste to protect human health and the environment, and complying with applicable federal, state, local, and Army solid waste management regulations. The ISWMP discusses source reduction, recycling, treatment, and disposal.

The Army has established extensive goals for the reduction of all waste, including, but not limited to, solid waste. However, the Army’s goal of 40% diversion of nonhazardous solid waste has been superseded by a new Executive Order.

In accordance with Executive Order 13514, signed 5 October, 2009, generators of solid waste are required to divert 50% or more of non-hazardous solid waste, excluding construction and demolition debris, from landfills, and are required to divert 50% or more of construction and demolition debris from landfills.

Since EO 13514 was signed, the DoD published a new directive for the Army to follow. The

DoD Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan (SSPP) was issued in August 2010.

The DoD SSPP contains annual targets for new objectives and goals on reduction of green house gases and minimization of waste and pollution through FY2020. Targets are shown through

FY2019. Three of the objectives, goals, and sub goals that impact the Rock Island Arsenal are noted below.

Barring any updated DoD guidance, Rock Island Arsenal will continue to target a 50% diversion rate for non-hazardous solid waste for FY2020 and beyond.

Objective – The Ongoing Performance of DoD Assets Ensured by Minimizing Waste and

Pollution

Goal 5 – Solid Waste Minimized and Optimally Managed

Sub goal 5.2 – 50% of Non-Hazardous Solid Waste Diverted from the Waste Stream by FY

2015 and Thereafter beyond FY2020

Metric- The percent of the total non-hazardous solid waste stream generated and collected by

DoD facilities (by weight), without construction and demolition debris, that is directed away from the waste, for example by reuse, recycling, and/or composting.

SECTION TWO Generation of Solid Waste and Recyclables

1.8 GENERATING ACTIVITIES

Generators of solid waste at the RIA include: administrative offices, industrial shops (JMTC), food services, services such as plumbing, carpentry, grounds, roads, HVAC, and construction, and various construction contractors. Specific information on generation rates, types of solid waste, and recycling rates is presented in Section 2. A map set that identifies primary solid waste and recycling collection points on RIA is presented at Appendix C.

SECTION THREE Source Reduction

Source reduction practices at the RIA include Green Procurement, Pollution Prevention, and administrative waste reduction practices.

3.1 GREEN PROCUREMENT

The RIA shall follow EO13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and

Transportation Management. The Order requires federal agencies to incorporate waste prevention and recycling into daily operations and to increase the use of recovered materials by environmentally preferable purchasing and following Green Procurement Guidelines. The RIA shall follow EO 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economics

Performance. This order requires Federal agencies to reduce paper use, procure a minimum 30% postconsumer recycled paper, and to reduce acquisition of toxic and hazardous materials and chemicals. Under Section 6002 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), federal agencies using appropriated funds must set forth programs to allow the use of recovered materials to the maximum extent possible. Specific information on RIA Green Procurement can be found in the RIA Green Procurement Plan. Items designated for Green Procurement are listed in Appendix D for reference only.

3.2 POLLUTION PREVENTION

The Pollution Prevention (P2) Act of 1990 established P2 as a national objective of reducing wastes at the source. P2 can be achieved by substituting materials, procurement or policy changes, process changes, and recycling. The RIA shall utilize Pollution Prevention opportunities identified in the RIA P2 Plan to the extent practicable.

3.3 ADMINISTRATIVE WASTE REDUCTION PRACTICES

The RIA shall practice waste reduction in administrative functions by continuing the following established practices:

• Eliminate stockpiling materials; order only what will be used in a 90 calendar day period.

• Save e-mail messages to files rather than printing out

• Procure only 30% post- consumer-waste copy paper

• Print double-side copies of all drafts and of final copies where acceptable

• Reuse file folders

• Use routing slips in place of multiple copies

• Use old documents for scratch paper

• Require contractors to submit bid packages and appropriate documentation on double-sided copies

• Save binders for reuse

• Use reusable materials rather than disposable materials (i.e., coffee mugs instead of

Styrofoam cups)

New waste reduction practices will be promoted and incorporated into everyday practice as they are identified.

SECTION FOUR Collection, Disposal, Recycling, and Diversion

4.1 SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL

Solid waste collection and disposal at the RIA is provided through commercial contract. Allied

Waste currently provides the majority of solid waste collection and disposal at the RIA.

Dumpsters are placed throughout the installation. See Appendix C.

We recently completed a Solid Waste Characterization Study to determine just what employees and residents on the island are throwing into the refuse dumpsters and compacters. This study was conducted during June 2010. The report from this study was received in July 2010.

Results of the report indicate the following;

COMPOSTABLE WASTE – 27%

FOOD WASTE-18% (Commissary, Cafeteria, Golf club)

4.1.1 Items Permitted in Dumpsters

Installation dumpsters and trash receptacles are for non-hazardous solid wastes only. Hazardous wastes will be handled according to the Waste Disposal Information Booklet. Recyclables will be placed in the appropriate receptacles. The following items may be placed in trash dumpsters:

• Restroom waste

• Non-recyclable administrative waste

• Food waste

• Styrofoam

4.1.2 Items Restricted from Dumpsters

The following items are restricted from RIA trash receptacles:

• Industrial Waste, unless pre-approved by Public Works Environmental.

• Mercury containing items

• Usable government property

• Hazardous wastes or materials such as oil, paint, adhesives, solvents, or their containers

• Batteries of all types

• Personal household trash

• All electronic items

• Medical wastes such as syringes

• Yard waste

The following process is recommended for excess usable and excess unusable, government property:

• Prior to any removal or turn-in of excess usable and excess unusable government property, a determination shall be made by Directorate of Logistics (DOL) as to whether any items that are excess are usable to RIA. Such items will be identified by DOL and guidance provided on how to properly turn-in said property.

• Prior to any removal or turn-in of remaining excess usable and excess unusable government property, a determination shall be made by DLA-DS as to whether any items are excess usable to DLA-DS. Such items will be identified by DLA-DS and guidance provided on how to properly turn-in said property.

• Government property remaining after DOL and DLA-DS determinations will be deemed excess unusable. Such items shall be removed as a part of renovation/demolition projects or disposed of by the government. Excess unusable government property that has significant recyclable content shall be recycled where possible.

4.2 CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION (C&D) WASTES

For contracts >$100K:

Federal construction, repair, and alteration contracts on RIA shall include clauses requiring contractors to incorporate recycling and diversion of C&D wastes. The C&D program is a federal requirement in which project designers and contractors are to specify means they will employ to reduce the amount of waste material from federal projects that reaches landfills. The goal is to attempt to recycle or divert at least 50% of the total waste stream from each project. The legal drivers are Executive Order (EO) 13423, Section 2(e), and EO 13514, Sections 2(e)(ii) and 2(e)(iii).

Contracts shall include provisions on how the various waste stream items anticipated in a project are to be managed.

The C&D process for contracts involves two phases;

(See Appendix E for Spreadsheet)

Phase I:

Contractor will provide a plan estimating the amount of C & D material to be recycled, landfilled and diverted in pounds and percentage wise prior to any work. Initial plan (called Phase I: C&D Plan Data on spreadsheet) shall be submitted to Mr. Chris Mills, Solid Waste program manager, Public Works Environmental, 2-5785 for review.

Phase II:

Final plan (called Phase II: C&D Report Data on spreadsheet) shall be submitted by the contractor prior to final payment.

Final plan shall indicate actual recycle, diversion, landfill activities.

Final plan shall be submitted to Solid Waste program manager.

Copies of all C&D information for each applicable contract will be filed by the solid waste manager in Public Works records vault, building 102, under the fiscal year of project completion. Annual results of the RIA C&D program will be tabulated by Public Works Environmental from the records in the fiscal year files and presented in the Solid Waste Annual Report (SWAR).

As a routine part of project management, contractors must take necessary actions to coordinate with companies who can maximize recycling/diversion of C & D debris from the project. Last resort is disposal.

As noted above, initial plan should be submitted to Chris Mills for approval before start of work.

For contracts <$100K:

Same as above.

4.3 RECYCLING PROGRAMS:

All RIA employees, residents, tenants, and contractors can participate in the RIA Recycling

Program. Recycling at RIA is contracted through the Public Works custodial contract.

Residential recycling is handled through an IGSA (Inter-Governmental Service Agreement) with the City of Moline. Scrap metal recycling is done through DLA. Other recyclable materials are comingled and accumulated in containers at building 106.

4.3.1 Aluminum: There are several types of aluminum that are recycled. The current types are as follow:

• Aluminum Turnings with or without Iron: This is metal generated by the JMTC through the machining of aluminum, 30 yard roll-off dumpster maintained in loading dock area of building 212, JMTC contacts DLA when dumpster is full. At that time, a scale ticket is generated as well as a shipment pass.

• Aluminum Scrap Sheets: This is metal remaining from the fabrication of aluminum items by the JMTC. The sheets < 4 feet in dimension and all skeletons will be direct sold.

JMTC will provide cost and volume data to the solid waste management for the semi-annual report. (JMTC)

• Aluminum Pop Cans: This is metal generated throughout the installation and in housing areas, accumulated in buildings in containers adjacent to vending machines, picked up by custodial employees while doing routes, cans delivered to building 106 and placed with the rest of the comingled recyclables.

• Aluminum Scrap, Mixed: This is metal generated by the JMTC, , and the Base

Operations Contractor through the fabrication of aluminum items, various accumulation tubs are maintained in the field, material is collected by TLC and delivered to building

212 and placed in a 20 or 30 yard roll-off, when full a scale ticket is generated as well as a shipment pass, material is taken by DLA.

• Aluminum Scrap Mixed: This is bar and tube stock < 2 feet in dimension is considered scrap and unusable to JMTC operations. JMTC will provide cost and volume data to the solid waste management for the semi-annual report. (JMTC)

4.3.2 Brass: Tip tubs are filled at buildings 212 and 139, when full DLA Contractor picks up material and delivers to building 106, placed in a 5 yard container, when full a scale ticket is generated as well as a shipment pass, material is taken by DLA.

4.3.3 Glass: The recycling program currently doesn’t handle glass items. Potential glass handlers: Eastern Iowa Recyclers, Davenport, IA, Greg Miresonne, (563) 391-8613; Strategic

Materials, St. Louis, MO; Scott Area Recycling Center, Davenport, IA, Keith Crambeck, (563)

Wood scrap is currently not able to be recycled locally and is being sent to the landfill by the refuse contractor. If an opportunity arises to continue recycling scrap wood, this section will be amended.

4.4 DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY – DISPOSITION SERVICES (DLA-DS)

The RIA recycles some items through the Defense Logistics Agency – Disposition Services (DLA-

DS) located at RIA. The purpose of the DLA-DS is to find markets for articles no longer used by the

RIA. Marketing includes the sale or donation of items for recycling, reuse, or refabrication.

All property must be accompanied by a properly prepared Disposal Turn-In Document (DTID) (DD

Form 1348-1A). A minimum of an original and three legible copies must accompany property turned in for disposal processing. A receipt copy of the DTID may be provided to your representative. This information has been excerpted from DoD 4000.25-1-M, Milstrip Manual. This information can also be found in DoD 4160,21-M Chapter 3 or the DLA website www.dla.mil and click on Generator/Installation. The DLA website also has a 1348-1A form. The turn in document for scrap will include:

1. The basic material content

2. Estimated weight and/or weight ticket

3. Reimbursement data, if applicable

4. Precious metals indicator code if applicable.

Call the DLA-DS to schedule an appointment for turn-in.

Articles the RIA generates that the DLA-DS typically tries to find markets for include:

4.4.1 Brass: The following types of fired brass scrap metal were managed in CY 2008; turn in procedures for fired brass involves an AEDA INERT Material Certification. This information can be found in DoD 4160-21-M-1, Chapter 2, Paragraph D (1). All Material generated from the Firing and/or Demilitarization of AEDA will be rendered inert before being turned in to a DLA-DS. AEDA will be inspected by a technically trained and qualified individual who will submit a certificate as part of the turn-in document as follows:

“We certify and verify that the EADA residue, Range Residue and/or Explosive Contaminated property listed has been 100% properly inspected by us and to the best of our knowledge and belief, are inert and/or free of explosives or other dangerous materials”

Inert Certification requires duel signatures. The first signature (Certifier) may be either qualified

DoD personnel or qualified contractor personnel. The second signature (Verifier) must be a technically qualified DoD person, and a U.S. citizen. The generating activity will also provide the

DLA-DS a letter listing the individuals qualified to inspect and certify property as being inert. This letter will be updated yearly, or as needed to be current.

• 12 gauge shotgun shells, expended

• Small Arms Brass to include: .22 Cal., .30 Cal, .38 Cal, .45 Cal, .50 Cal, 5.56 mm, 7.62 mm,

SECTION FIVE Program Promotion and Training

5.1 PROGRAM PROMOTION

The RIA solid waste program is constantly changing with new Pollution Prevention opportunities. The P2 Plan, Green Procurement Plan, and this Integrated Solid Waste

Management Plan indicate the RIA’s dedication to reducing solid waste. Program promotion is a part of RIA solid waste policy.

Periodic inspections of dumpsters and recycle provisions by Government employees identify program integrity. Solid waste contractors are canvassed to determine where there are weaknesses in the program and for ideas on how to make better applications in the field.

Management plays an active role in making sure that recycling metrics are met on this facility.

This will ensure that solid waste compliance objectives on RIA are satisfied and our business practices are sustaining our Mission.

RIA solid waste program personnel will be granted the authority to; investigate situations where solid waste policies are not being followed, elevate those situations to appropriate management levels, and issue policy guidance to those agencies that violate the policy using the following tools:

• E-mail notices

• Letters/Policy Statements

5.2 COMMUNITY PROMOTION

Efforts on the part of the RIA to communicate RIA’s dedication to waste reduction and recycling to our island community have included participation on Earth Day every year (April) and

America Recycles Day. (November)

The RIA shall include community promotion policy into this section as new promotional tools and policies are identified and implemented. The Executive Summary of this plan provides some promotional ideas.

5.3 TRAINING

Proper and relevant awareness training to RIA personnel, environmental personnel, MWR personnel, DLA-DS personnel, contract managers, and new personnel is integral to the success of solid waste management and recycling opportunities.
