554 RHS HAZMAT CONTAINER REQUIREMENTS PROSPECTUS

DISCUSSION: The container will be used to properly store and maintain the squadron’s hazardous material assets. IAW 10-209, para. 4.1.3.3.4, RED HORSE squadron will monitor hazardous materials in the MRSP while in-garrison and deployed and prepares for redeployment, (if applicable) IAW AFMAN 24-204, Preparing Hazardous Materials for Military Air Shipments. Additionally, para. 4.1.3.3.7, requires the squadron to develop program & accounts for and stores project/residue materials IAW AFI 32-7086, Hazardous Materials management. AFI 32-7086, para. 2.10.7.11, states that end-users will maintain an inventory listing of all HAZMAT used or stored in the work area and ensure that all HAZMAT containers have appropriate labeling.

PROSPECTUS LAYOUT: This prospectus is laid out in the following manner. It provides a basic structure description, a determination if the items are required, provides an opportunity for other optional and/or suitable substitutes which will meet the customer needs and the required safety and environmental standards. This prospectus also describes the minimal national safety storage requirements based on the chemical types as listed. This prospectus provides a basic chemical storage requirements list with basic quantities for the largest (by size/bulk) only. This prospectus provides standard definitions for the types of hazardous materials and the hazardous chemicals with basic handling and storage information that are currently housed within the unit. Finally, there is a very basic diagram of what the unit needs from the container.

BASIC CHEMICAL STORAGE REQUIREMENTS (Largest Items ONLY)

STANDARD DEFINITIONS

Flammables/Combustibles: Capable of being set on fire and of burning quickly or able to be burned easily. Specific/Average Temp Requirements:

Solvents: Substance, ordinarily a liquid, in which other materials dissolve to form a solution. Polar solvents (e.g., water) favor formation of ions; nonpolar ones (e.g., hydrocarbons) do not. Solvents may be predominantly acidic, predominantly basic, amphoteric (both), or aprotic (neither). Organic compounds used as solvents include aromatic compounds and other hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, ketones, amines, and nitrated and halogenated hydrocarbons. Their chief uses are as media for chemical syntheses, as industrial cleaners, in extractive processes, in pharmaceuticals, in inks, and in paints, varnishes, and lacquers.

Paints: A liquid that dries to form a thin colored layer when it is spread on a surface. Decorative and protective coating commonly applied to rigid surfaces as a liquid consisting of a pigment suspended in a vehicle, or binder. The vehicle, usually a resin dissolved in a solvent, dries to a tough film, binding the pigment to the surface.

Corrosives/Caustics: Causing damage to metal or other materials through a chemical process. Capable of destroying or eating away by chemical action: corrosive.

Gases: One of the three fundamental states of matter, in which matter has no definite shape, is very fluid, and has a density about 0.1% that of liquids. Gas is very compressible but tends to expand indefinitely, and it fills any container. A substance (such as oxygen or hydrogen) that is like air and has no fixed shape, a gas or mixture of gases that is burned as a fuel. Specific/Average Temp Requirements:

Pesticides: Any toxic substance used to kill animals or plants that damage crops or ornamental plants or that are hazardous to the health of domestic animals or humans. All pesticides act by interfering with the target species' normal metabolism. They are often classified by the type of organism they are intended to control (e.g., insecticide, herbicide, and Fungicide).

Poisons: Any substance (natural or synthetic) that, at a certain dosage, damages living tissues and injures or kills.
