Furthermore, there is a possibility that ballasts labeled "No PCBs" may still contain PCBs above the Japan-established level of 0.5 mg/Kg. Because the U.S. definition for PCBs is 50 mg/Kg and over, it is possible that some U.S.

manufacturers may consider "No PCBs" as 50 mg/Kg or below. Therefore, if a project involves the removal, disposal and installation of ballasts, the manufacturer shall be contacted and an MSDS or a written statement indicating that the ballasts contain less than 0.5 mg/Kg of PCBs shall be requested, even if the existing ballasts are labeled "No PCBs". However, it is best if the manufacturer is able to state that there is absolutely 0 PCBs in their product. If the Contractor cannot obtain any PCB information for the ballasts, the Contractor shall take a representative sample of each model and have the samples analyzed at a local Japanese laboratory. The Contractor is required to submit bilingual copies of the lab results to USAG-O Environmental Division. If the lab results indicate that the PCB-content is more than 0.5 mg/Kg, USAG-O Environmental Division shall be contacted for guidance on the turn-in procedures for the wastes containing PCBs.

Segregate PCBs free ballasts from PCBs containing ballasts and further segregated according to model. The ballasts shall be placed in a united nation certified drum container and in separate boxes per brand as well as per US and Japanese products. Contractor must package PCBs ballast in a UN approved container, weigh with a certified scale, label in English and Japanese, furnish analytical result and submit information to USAG-O Environmental Division. For further information, contact the PCBs Manager at 644-4382 or 644-4910.
