9.3.3. Containers holding liquid HW must be stored on secondary containment pallets to preclude spreading leaks and spills. The pallets will be installed prior to collecting liquid waste.

9.3.4. An existing HWAP is solely for the specified function and waste streams covered by the original approval. Waste from other functions and new waste streams will not be added to HWAP containers without prior written approval from the Environmental Flight.

9.3.5. All HWAPs are subject to regulatory inspection.

9.3.6. A suitable response kit will be located within reasonable proximity to the HWAP. Also required is access to a telephone and a list of emergency telephone numbers. All spills will be reported to the Base Fire Department at 7117 and the Environmental Flight.

9.3.7. The use of applicable personal protective equipment (PPE), consistent with what is required when handling individual HW as defined on the SDS.

9.3.8. Different HW will not be mixed in the same container as this may cause a dangerous reaction.

9.3.9. Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all assigned personnel are sufficiently trained in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 prior to handling or storing hazardous waste.

9.3.10. HW containers will not be stored longer than 3 month regardless of how much unused space the container may possess.

9.3.11. Drums and containers used for storing HW shall be in conformance with Department of Transportation (49 CFR) specifications for storing that particular material/waste.

9.3.12. The maximum a HWAP may accumulate is a 55-gallon drum, unless the material is an acutely hazardous waste. For an acutely hazardous waste, the maximum quantity to be stored is a 1-quart container. No more than 50 gallons is to be accumulated into a 55-gallon drum to allow for container expansion considerations. Acutely hazardous waste containers are to be filled not more than 2 inches from the rim of the container.

9.3.13. Except for adding waste or to conduct an inspection of the waste level in the container, the HW container will always be covered with its lid or bung screwed in place to prevent accumulation of rainwater.

9.3.14. Every HW container will have a clearly visible label affixed to the side of the container. At a minimum, the label will show “HAZARDOUS WASTE”, a description or name of the waste and the hazard associated with the waste. In addition, the label will have a provision to post the date the container was filled at the HWAP.

9.3.15. Upon filling a HW container, the date is posted to the label, the contractor must arrange for transportation of the HW to an EPA permitted TSDF within the required timeframes allowed under the particular generator status and the attached PWS.

9.3.16. The Contractor shall obtain written approval from the COR, in consultation with the Environmental Flight, prior to recycling any HW. The Contractor shall provide a copy of the shipping document, bill of lading, etc. for items that are recycled. The Contractor cannot sell Government property to recycling companies.
