These state and local law enforcement personnel will characterize, package, and transport waste to various ACS sites for safe storage. DEA is responsible for administrating and facilitating these contract(s) for the pickup, transportation and disposal of the waste.

The waste generated includes: hazardous waste; non-hazardous waste chemicals; occasional controlled substance contaminated waste; and regulated medical waste (e.g. sharps, biohazard wastes). For the purposes of this contract, municipal solid waste and recycling (e.g. paper, plastic, glass, etc.) are not included in the contract.

The various wastes are generated and stored at the various ACS sites, DEA, FBI facilities and other sites as needed within the continental United States. These facilities are not limited to an office environment and may include laboratories, training facilities or airports.

Approved TSDF are to be located within the United States of America. Material shall be treated as prescribed by applicable regulations (e.g., Treatment Standards for Hazardous Waste in 40 CFR 268 et al).

All hazardous waste (not including universal waste) or unknown wastes contaminated with controlled substances shall be thermally destroyed. If wastes contaminated with controlled substances must be placed in storage prior to ultimate disposal, the contractor shall not open, consolidate, alter the original contents of any drum or lab pack without receiving authorization from the COR or task monitor.

Guidelines for Law Enforcement for the Cleanup of Illicit Hazardous Environments

“RED BOOK”

Adulteration Options Protocol for Chemicals Recovered at Illicit Hazardous Environments or Dumpsites

Recent information from criminal cases reveals that, in some instances, chemicals and equipment used in the manufacture of methamphetamine and other controlled substances have been diverted for criminal use after they have been seized by law enforcement and turned over to contractor personnel for disposition. In order to minimize any post-seizure diversion of chemicals and equipment and recurring harm to the public, law enforcement, and the environment, the following protocols establish “best practices” for adulteration of chemicals and wastes.

These protocols are not intended for all situations where precursor chemicals may be seized, but only for Illicit Hazardous Environments and dumpsites. The seizure of bulk precursor chemicals not associated with an Illicit Hazardous Environment or dumpsite should be processed according to each agency’s own policies and procedures.

The following protocols are not intended to replace technical advice provided by the manufacturer on Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) or other industry and manufacturer guidance. Contractors are to obtain guidance before proceeding if there are any concerns regarding chemical compatibility using the protocols listed.

The following protocols focus on those chemicals essential to illicit manufacturing of the most popular controlled substances and do not include solvents and other laboratory related material that are readily available to the public, and therefore less likely to be the target of diversion. With respect to each chemical or controlled substance addressed by the protocols, various adulterants are listed along with the procedure for adulterating the material.

Adulterants suggested in the protocols are readily available, relatively inexpensive, and were selected to avoid creating additional environmental management concerns.

Commercially available absorbents are materials that will absorb and solidify liquids added to them. These absorbents will be used by the contractor or can be obtained through companies that deal with chemical absorbents. The adulteration should be conducted by the contractor under the direct observation of a chemist/agent. Care must be taken to properly categorize each chemical and ensure that incompatible chemicals are not combined during adulteration. For example, acidic and basic chemical mixtures must not be adulterated together. In most cases, organic and aqueous mixtures must not be adulterated together. Safety of personnel must be the number one priority. Proper personal protective equipment must be worn during the adulteration of the materials.

Large amounts of chemicals that are adulterated should be poured into the adulterant contained in a plastic bucket or barrel. For small amounts, the adulterant can simply be added to the original container to solidify and the container can then be packed.

In addition to adulterating the chemicals and controlled substances listed below, law enforcement personnel are strongly urged to have the contractor destroy and render unusable all glassware and equipment (e.g., heating mantles) at the scene. Care must be taken to ensure the safety of personnel when making glassware and equipment unusable. Each item must be checked for chemical contamination before destruction or dismantling begins.

Ephedrine/Pseudoephedrine

FORMS:

Solids containing ephedrine* Includes tablets, extracted ephedrine, tablet binders.

Liquids containing ephedrine Includes all liquids containing ephedrine.

ADULTERANTS:

• Diesel fuel/unused motor oil

• Commercially available absorbent material

PROTOCOL:

Pour solids or liquids containing ephedrine into a plastic bucket.

Add sufficient diesel fuel or unused motor oil into the plastic bucket containing ephedrine to render the substance non-retrievable.

Add absorbent material to solidify any remaining liquid.

*All references to ephedrine apply to pseudoephedrine as well.

Fentanyl, Fentanyl Analogues, and Derivatives

FORMS:

Solid fentanyl Includes bricks, tablets, pills, powders or dust containing fentanyl.

ADULTERANTS:

• Commercially available material

PROTOCOL:

Place solids in a plastic container and pour bleach or oxidizer solution in the container to submerge the solid material. Do not fill over ¾ of the plastic container with the fentanyl solids or bleach. Allow the solid to fully absorb the bleach/solution to render adulterated.

Add absorbent material to solidify any remaining liquid.

Hydriodic Acid (HI)

FORMS:

Liquids containing hydriodic acid Includes HI reagent, HI solution/iodine and red phosphorous, HI solution/iodine and hypophosphorous.

ADULTERANTS:

PROTOCOL:

Pour HI liquids into a plastic bucket and slowly add baking soda or lye to neutralize the

HI.

Add absorbent material to solidify any remaining liquid.

Iodine

Solid iodine Includes solid reagent and iodide salts.

Liquids containing iodine Includes liquid mixtures of iodine and tinctures.

ADULTERANTS:

• Liquid detergent

• Commercially available absorbent material
