INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

60th Air Mobility Wing

Template Version June 2020

ABOUT THIS PLAN

This installation-specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is based on the U.S. Air Force’s (AF) standardized Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) Plan template. This Plan is not an exhaustive inventory of all Solid Waste (SW) requirements and practices. Where applicable, external resources, including Air Force Instructions (AFIs); Air Force Manuals, Air Force Playbooks; federal, state, local and Final Governing Standards (FGS); and permit requirements are referenced.

Certain sections of this ISWM Plan begin with standardized, AF-wide “common text” language that addresses AF and Department of Defense (DoD) policy and federal requirements. This common text language is restricted from editing to ensure that it remains standard throughout all plans. The common text language is maintained and updated by the designated Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) with assistance from the Office of Collateral Responsibility (OCR), as appropriate. Immediately following the AF-wide common text sections are installation sections. The installation sections contain installation-specific content to address state, local, and installation-specific requirements. Installation sections are unrestricted and are maintained and updated by AF environmental Sections and/or installation personnel.

This document is optimized to be accessed and viewed electronically. The eDASH website at https://cs2.eis.af.mil/sites/10040 is the primary communication tool for AF EMPs.

1.0 OVERVIEW AND SCOPE

This ISWM Plan contains procedures for the management of SW. In lieu of federal, state, or FGS requirements, AFMAN 32-7002 acts as the main driver for the ISWM Plan. The ISWM Playbook serves as supplemental guidance to this Plan.

This Plan addresses the management of SW. SW is defined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 261.2, and includes but is not limited to: Wastes from aircraft originating from overseas, military munitions identified as a SW in 40 CFR 266.202, and industrial SW. This Plan does not address the management of Hazardous Waste (HW) or other non-SW, including universal waste, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos, lead, regulated medical waste, radioactive waste, or mixed waste.

Installation Supplement – Overview and Scope

Travis Air Force Base, 60th Air Mobility Wing (AMW) is home to the largest air mobility organization, a versatile fleet made up of the C-5 Galaxy, C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft, and the KC-10 Extender refueling aircraft. The 60th AMW crews can fly support missions anywhere in the world to fulfill its motto of being “America’s First Choice” for providing true Global Reach.

All Travis employees, including contractor operations and partner units, play a role in the Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) Plan and sustaining resources necessary to meet the needs of mission both today and into the future.

Travis AFB is committed to reducing solid waste, identifying and implementing pollution prevention strategies, and conserving natural resources. The mission of the Travis AFB ISWM Plan is to enhance and sustain mission resources by establishing the most cost-effective recycling program possible that reduces waste generation, increases waste diversion, and optimizes cost avoidance. The ISWM Plan provides resource capability for the mission and improves human health and the environment. The municipal solid waste generated at Travis AFB is collected and disposed of through contracted services.

Under a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City of Fairfield and Solano Garbage Co, a division of Republic Service Group, Solano Garbage provides solid waste and recyclables collection, transportation, processing, and disposal services. The recyclable materials handled by the contractor include: cardboard; mixed paper (i.e., office, colored, newspaper, and magazines); commingled cans, mixed plastics, and glass; scrap metal; organic waste; manure; and scrap wood.

Manager and the Contracting Officer.

7.0 PROCEDURES

7.1 Solid Waste Generation and Diversion Goals

• The ISW Manager maintains a Solid Waste Characterization Study/Waste Stream Analysis to identify installation waste streams and amounts generated.

• With the Solid Waste Characterization Study/Waste Stream Analysis, the ISW manager conducts a commodity market and economic feasibility analysis at least annually to determine the viability of diverting specific materials and to ensure optimum pricing is obtained for QRP-eligible commodities.

The CMA is maintained in Appendix B of the ISWM Plan. The Commodity Market Analysis template is available on the ISWM eDASH site.

Date of Latest Analysis October 2023 Responsible Personnel QRP Manager Results of Analysis Overall current operations are not recommended to be changed significantly. Direct sales of most commodities would incur significant capital investments and do not have adequate generations rates resulting in operating at a net loss. Direct sales of scrap metal is currently being implemented and operating at a net gain and minimal operating costs.

The balancing act of Cost Avoidance, Cost Overrun vs. Safety, remains to be a challenge for Solid Waste/Diversions. Based on two year observations, Root causes of illegal dumping, miscommunication, improper planning, and/or inefficiency, behavior that needs to change, i.e. indoor wood furniture staged outdoors for a C&D pick-up, gets wet (rain water or irrigation), becomes moldy is now destined as trash/garbage; a facility amassed several dozen loads of pallets due to mission surges, Fire Dept.

offered to help - use 30 to 40 (individual pallets), this was misunderstood to be the whole lot of bonfire pallets or 30 to 40 loads! Other contributing factors. Inefficient or improper loading of the wood containers – 24 vs. 50 pallets to maximize load potential. Lastly, contractor proposal to dispose problematic pallets (wood cradles with bolts, metal bands … staged for a while, “Kindling” creates unbudgeted expenditures: $1,000 per ton as garbage (rate, landfill tipping fees, fuel surcharges, and net zero SW/D).

• The ISW/QRP Manager(s) maintains a Solid Waste Diversion table to track current and projected progress towards solid waste diversion goals

• The Waste Stream Analysis and Solid Waste Diversion tables are available on eDASH or at the link in the installation supplement below

Installation Supplement – Solid Waste Generation and Diversion Goals

Travis AFB is following current Air Force program goals:

1) Divert 40 percent of non-hazardous solid waste (excluding C&D debris) from incineration and landfilling;

2) Divert 60 percent of C&D debris from incineration and landfilling;

3) Reduce total annual waste generation by 2 percent of total waste each year through Fiscal Year

(FY) 2025.

7.2 Source Reduction

The installation employs the following source reduction strategies to minimize SW generation.

Source Reduction Strategies

Applicability (select all that apply)

Source Reduction Strategy

(Describe how and where strategy is implemented)

Change processes to reduce or eliminate the production of wastes

Recycling The majority of recycling is handled through comingled recycling bins provided by the MSW contractor.

Each office and work center is responsible for placing recycled materials at designated collection points within their facility.

Personnel may commingle recyclable paper products (i.e., white paper, colored paper, newspapers, and magazines). The recyclables are then transported from the office/work center to a large outdoor recycling container (blue bins). Materials are picked up on a weekly basis.

Paper and cardboard can be placed in comingled recycling bins and are picked up curbside by Republic Services.

7.4 Waste Streams – Management Methods and Opportunities

Non-hazardous Solid Waste

Waste Generation Sources Travis AFB personnel, retirees, contractors, residents and anyone else with base access.

Reduction Methods Recycling is highly encouraged across base.

Management Methods Collection services for operational and administrative areas are provided by the Republic Services contractor.

The ISWM contractor ensures receptacles, collection routes, collection schedules, and collection equipment (trucks/trailers) meet 40 CFR §243, Guidelines for the Storage and Collection of Residential, Commercial and Institutional Solid Waste, Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 4715.4, and State and local requirements.

• The ISWM contractor ensures that all permits needed for solid waste, material recovery facilities and composting handling, storage, and collection facilities (including solid waste transfer facilities) are obtained and will perform any required maintenance inspections and notifications.

• The ISWM contractor ensures that all vehicles collecting and transporting solid waste meet Federal regulations, including U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations (49 CFR 390 to 397), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for equipment owned by the Federal government(49 CFR 500 to 580), noise-emission standards for motor carriers in interstate commerce (40 CFR 202), and the standards established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

• Travis AFB ensures disposition of all US Gov’t. Property as either Surplus through DLADS or Scrap (QRP Eligible Ferrous or Non-Ferrous) Metal. and/or Solid Waste/Diversion, i.e. Bulk Items, False Wood, Furniture, Recyclables, Composting, Green Waste, Organics/Food Waste, Wood Waste and C&D debris

Handling, Collection and Separation

MSW pickup is contracted at Travis AFB and managed by the COR, with technical guidance from 60 CES/CEIE. This contract is modified periodically to obtain the most efficient placement and servicing of the dumpsters on the installation. CEO Service Contracts is responsible for inspecting dumpster use to ensure contract compliance and accomplishes this through their Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Copies of all permits/licenses required for solid waste handling, storage, and collection are maintained by base contracting.

The Commissary and Base Exchange (BX) reimburse the Base for MSW collection services at their facilities.

Once collected, the MSW contractor is required to dispose of the waste at a state-approved, licensed, and secure landfill located off-base. This requirement is verified by unannounced, semi-annual landfill/transfer station operations inspections by CEO Service Contracts.

Contractors that are working on the installation temporarily have specific clauses included in their contracts for solid waste management and diversion. 60 CES/CEIE provides review and input on proposed Statements of Work (SOW) for review prior to advertising for proposals. 60 CES/CEIE is also involved in bid package review to ensure that contractors’ proposals meet solid waste requirements. Contracts for construction, demolition, operations and maintenance, and services have different requirements for solid waste and recycling management. Following contract award, 60 CES/CEIE attends project kick-off meetings to provide direction and answer questions related to solid waste and recycling requirements, and reviews design packages and submittals for compliance.

Storage Containers and Frequency of Collection

The frequency and scheduling of solid waste collections are principally matters of health, aesthetics, customer needs, and economics. The ISWM collection schedule can be found in the ISWM PWS.

Dumpsters in the main part of the base are monitored monthly, at a minimum, for size and frequency of emptying. Based on the results of these assessments, the contract is modified to better meet the needs.

Do’s and Don'ts for Dumpsters

• DO:

o Always keep the container lid closed o Place all trash inside the dumpster.

o Carefully read instructions for collection day scheduled for your facility.

o Notify your facility manager if you have any questions.

• DON'T:

o Put recyclable materials or e-waste in trash dumpster.

o Dumpster Dive. Dumpster diving is strictly prohibited.

o Put hot ashes in the dumpster.

o Overfill the dumpster.

o Put trash on top of or beside the dumpster.

o Paint or write on the dumpster.

Park in front of or block access to the dumpster.

Transport and Disposal Methods Republic Services transports refuse generated on base to the Potrero Hills Landfill for disposal at least once a week. Recyclable materials are transferred to off-base processing centers and then sold.

Opportunity Assessment Results Travis AFB is considered a municipality and is required to use the franchised hauler of the City of Fairfield.

Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris

Various construction, demolition, and renovation projects across Travis AFB.

Reduction Methods Recycling. Contractors are required to recycle any C&D wastes to the maximum level as financially possible. Recyclable C&D materials include: metals, asphalt (fully cured), concrete, dirt/soil, gypsum board, paper/cardboard, wood products, brick/masonry, carpet/padding, plastics, aluminum, copper wiring, mechanical/electrical products, and equipment.

Management Methods Proper management of construction and demolition debris is essential to meeting Air Force diversion goals. Much of C&D debris can be recycled. Project savings in the form of reduced hauling and landfill fees can be realized by recycling C&D debris.

A Waste Management Plan is required and needs to include a letter from the local permitting authority that the recycler and/or disposal facility is operating in full compliance with their local agency permits.

C&D contractors and any contractors that generate SW must also provide copies of weight certificates, shipping receipts, financial statements, and all other related documentation for installation records reporting. See Appendix F for a Waste Management Plan Outline (Expectations) along with Travis AFB specific Requirements for Contractors.

C&D debris may be contaminated with hazardous material such as asbestos, lead based paint, polychlorinated biphenyls, mercury, creosote, and other hazardous material if the substances are not properly remediated prior to demolition. C&D debris contaminated with hazardous material may cause the debris to be handled as a hazardous waste. Prior to any demolition or renovation, the party conducting the work shall follow all applicable regulations and guidelines for abatement of asbestos, lead-based paint, or any other hazardous substances. For more guidance, reference the Travis AFB

HWMP.

Travis is within the city limits of Fairfield; therefore all contractors should review the city of Fairfield’s specific guidance for hauling C&D wastes and recyclables. This information may be found at: https://www.fairfield.ca.gov/government/city-departments/public-works/solid-waste-and-recycling/construction-and-demolition-debris

CalRecycle has set up a C&D Recycling toolkit designed to assist contractors in planning to meet C&D Diversion goals at the following link: https://calrecycle.ca.gov/ConDemo/Toolkit

Transport and Disposal Methods Recyclables and solid waste are to be separated at the C&D site, then transported to a state-approved and permitted recycler or landfill by the base ISWM Contractor or other state-approved hauler.
