5.2. Waste Analysis. This describes the method by which wastes are characterized. This information will allow 96 CEG/CEIEC, DRMO and/or the HW disposal services contractor to utilize standard references in order to verify and/or determine the chemical characteristics, proper storage requirements, Land Disposal Restrictions and DOT shipping requirements for HW, and to complete the HW profile (DRMS Form 1930 or EESOH-MIS equivalent), Issue Release/Receipt

Document (DD Form 1348-1A), and/or the HW Manifest and the Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) form. Waste characterization may be conducted by any combination of the following:

5.2.1. Determination of the waste constituents by referring to specific waste stream turn-in documents and waste profile sheets.

5.2.2. Determination of waste constituents through the use of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), original manufacturer’s labels and/or and user knowledge of process contaminants and by-products generated. The generator should contact the manufacturer if an SDS is not available.

5.2.2.1. Identification of the noun name and national stock number (NSN) as catalogued in the Federal Supply System, if applicable.

5.2.2.2. Identification of the chemical names of hazardous contaminants and noun name of non-hazardous contaminants.

5.2.2.3. Amounts of hazardous and non-hazardous contaminants expressed in range of content by percentage on parts per million, as available and applicable.

5.2.3. Use of reference materials, including those available through a variety of internet web sites.

5.2.4. Laboratory analysis of the potentially characteristic waste generated utilizing methods described in 40 CFR 261.10. Wastes requiring analysis are recommended to be reevaluated according to the frequencies specified in Table 5.1.

5.2.4.1. If an analysis for an unknown or existing waste stream is required, the HW generating organization will submit a written request for sampling and analysis of the waste stream to 96 CEG/CEIEC. The generator will activate this process as early as possible to avoid exceeding the storage time limit.

EGLINAFBI32-7003 22 APRIL 2015 17

5.2.4.2. 96 CEG/CEIEC will furnish a written request for sampling and analysis to the waste disposal contractor, track the sampling effort, return analysis documentation to the generating organization, and prepare the HW profile sheet for generator signature.

5.2.5. The generating site’s supervisor/manager or UEC is responsible for notifying 96

CEG/CEIEC of new waste streams or any changes to current waste generating processes.

Notification must include the process identification, waste stream profile number (if applicable), waste collection site number (if applicable), current container control number (if applicable), site manager name and phone number, and a description of change(s) occurring to existing HW streams. Generators will provide all information required by Attachment 2 to 96

CEG/CEIEC or the HW disposal services contractor through their UEC.

5.3. Waste Stream Description/Profile. Waste stream descriptions and respective Hazardous

Waste Profile Sheets (DRMS Form 1930 or EESOH-MIS equivalent) will be updated whenever the process changes or laboratory analysis is reevaluated.

5.3.1. All organizations generating HW are responsible for ensuring the update of profile sheets is prepared.

5.3.2. Waste streams should be segregated to as great an extent as practical for a given process.

This ensures proper packaging, marking, labeling, manifesting, and shipping. Waste segregation also aids in recycling efforts.

5.3.3. Waste profiles and waste collection sites will be numbered sequentially by 96

CEG/CEIEC as indicated in Table 5.2

Note: Some existing profiles may be numbered [YY]HM[4-digit sequential #] or [YY]PCB[4-digit sequential #]

5.3.4. Each initial accumulation point will be assigned only one profile. Generally UW and

SPW sites will also have only one profile assigned, but the hazardous waste manager may make exceptions.

5.3.5. Organizations and/or UECs shall notify 96 CEG/CEIEC if more than one profile is assigned per initial accumulation point.

5.3.6. If feedback received by the HW disposal services contractor or DRMO indicates the generator’s waste identification is incorrect/inaccurate, a verification testing program for wastes received from that generator will be initiated. This testing will begin on the next turn-in by this generator and will continue until the generator’s identification has been proven accurate.

5.4. Hazardous Waste Inventory. The inventory of HW generated is maintained in EESOH-

MIS.

5.5. Abandoned Waste. Notify your UEC immediately if you find abandoned containers and/or waste. All unmarked containers are suspected waste. If the organization in the immediate vicinity cannot confirm the contents of an unmarked container, the organization shall immediately handle the container as if it is a hazardous waste. This includes marking, labeling, dating the container, and keeping the container closed except for sampling. The container contents will be analyzed to determine the appropriate characterization, and the date of sampling will be marked on the container. Upon receipt of test results, the waste will be characterized and the appropriate type of site management requirements will be applied.

5.5.1. Ensure all usable material is stored and marked properly, so that it will not be mistaken for abandoned waste.

5.5.2. It is good practice to mark empty containers being stored for later use as empty.

Containers being stored shall be stored in a manner that prevents collection of rain water in order to avoid the collected rain water being suspected as abandoned waste.

Chapter 6

HAZARDOUS WASTE ACCUMULATION SITE OPERATIONS

6.1. Container Tracking System. A waste and material tracking system has been implemented through the EESOH-MIS. All waste containers are tracked through the Container Number (CN) identified on the waste description label (non-hazardous and hazardous wastes) provided by the waste disposal services contractor.

6.2. Types of Storage Areas.

6.2.1. An accumulation site (ACCS) is an organization’s central accumulation site for hazardous waste at which an unlimited amount of HW can be accumulated for up to 45 days.

Some sites may be authorized up to 90 days.

6.2.1.1. An initial accumulation point (IAP) is an area at or near the point of generation of the waste at which no more than 55 gallons of HW or 1 quart of acute HW can be accumulated. Each IAP is authorized to collect a single waste stream. IAPs can be established in close proximity to each other, but each must collect a different waste stream and be operated as an individual site. If waste generation is intermittent, IAPs can be activated and deactivated as mission needs require by coordination between the generator, UEC, and 96 CEG/CEIEC.

6.2.1.2. UW, SPW, and used oil management requirements are described in Chapter 7.

6.3. Accumulation Container Management.

6.3.1. Containers must be in good physical condition.

6.3.2. Containers accumulating HW, UW, or SPW that do not contain free liquids are recommended to be located on a concrete pad, pallet, or other supporting structure that keeps the container from contact with the soil.

6.3.3. Containers that contain free liquids must be placed in an area with secondary containment when accumulating HW, UW, or SPW. The containment system must have sufficient capacity to contain 10% of the volume of all containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. Special containment pallets are less expensive than building dikes/berms and are portable. Note: Aerosol containers and intact battery casings are a primary container; the collection drum is considered secondary containment. Any spilled material must not be able to flow into a storm drain, sewer, or onto permeable surfaces.

6.3.4. Containers must not be located near anything with which the waste may be incompatible

(for example an acid stored next to a caustic). This may be accomplished by physically separating the waste containers by means of a dike, berm, wall, or use of a containment pallet for each incompatible HW.

6.3.5. Adequate aisle space (no less than 3 feet) must be maintained to allow the unobstructed movement of personnel and fire protection, spill control, and decontamination equipment.

Container markings and labels must be visible from the aisle.

6.3.6. It is a regulatory requirement that accumulation containers must always be kept closed unless waste is being added to or removed from the container. For a container to be considered

20 EGLINAFBI32-7003 22 APRIL 2015

closed, fastening rings must be in-place and properly secured. For bung type drums, bungs must be closed and capped tight. Containers must not leak if overturned.

6.3.7. Containers must not be handled, stored, or opened in a manner which may rupture the container or cause it to leak.

6.3.8. The HW disposal services contractor will provide containers approved per DOT performance oriented packaging regulations.

6.3.9. Select the container size that best suits your needs. Do not overfill containers; fill to

90% capacity.

6.3.10. The type of waste being accumulated must be identified to ensure container/waste compatibility. The container must be compatible or lined with material that is compatible with the hazardous waste to be stored, so that the integrity of the container is not impaired.

6.3.11. Only DOT approved containers will be used for HW, UW, and SPW.

6.3.12. Containers must be marked and labeled (including DOT) as appropriate for their content.

6.3.13. HW marking labels must contain the following information:

6.3.13.1. Generator’s name and address; Eglin AFB, DRMO, Building 525, Transportation Road Eglin AFB FL, 32542.

6.3.13.2. “Hazardous Waste! Federal Law Prohibits Improper Disposal. If found, contact the nearest police, public safety authority, or the US Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA).”

6.3.13.3. EPA ID number; “FL8570024366.”

6.3.13.4. The EPA waste code(s), which will vary depending upon the waste. The waste code(s) is on the DRMS Form 1930 or EESOH-MIS equivalent, HW Profile Sheet.

6.3.13.5. The DOT Proper Shipping Name (PSN). The PSN is on the DRMS Form 1930 or EESOH-MIS equivalent, HW Profile Sheet.

EGLINAFBI32-7003 22 APRIL 2015 21

Figure 6.1. Hazardous Waste Label

6.3.13.6. The date and storage time depends on the site type.

6.3.13.6.1. An IAP has no time limit for accumulation of HW until the container is full. The accumulation start date on the label at an IAP should be marked with the date that the container becomes full (55 gallons or less). The waste must be moved to an

ACCS within 3 days of marking the accumulation start date on the full container.

During the 3-day period, the generator must continue to comply with the conditions of

Paragraphs 6.3 and 6.4

6.3.13.6.2. A generator may accumulate any amount of HW in containers at an ACCS for up to 45 days. (The High Explosives Research and Development (HERD) facility will have up to 90 days to accumulate on site, because their waste is treated at Eglin.)

Drums placed in a 45-day ACCS will be dated upon entry into the storage area unless already dated due to relocation from an IAP.

6.3.14. If hazardous material products in their original containers are turned into an ACCS as a hazardous waste, they may be temporarily stored in the original container provided the container is in good condition, is less than 26 gallons, and is marked with the words “Hazardous

Waste” and dated upon storage. Compatible items may be placed in a container marked

“Hazardous Waste” and dated. These waste products shall be characterized and transferred to properly marked and labeled DOT approved containers at the earliest opportunity. The accumulation start date marked on the product container shall be transferred to the DOT approved container. Empty product containers shall be recycled if possible, or disposed in refuse.

6.4. Operating Procedures.

6.4.1. A current listing of approved waste accumulation areas is available through EESOH-

MIS.

6.4.2. 96 CEG/CEIEC must approve collection and handling of any waste stream by the waste disposal contractor.

6.4.3. Storage of more than 55 gallons of HW in a single IAP for longer than 3 days is prohibited.

6.4.4. The UEC will coordinate with 96 CEG/CEIEC to establish, modify, or close an IAP or

ACCS. CEIEC will authorize the site and enter the site data into EESOH-MIS. The following information is required:

6.4.4.1. Proposed site location (building number, range number, etc.).

6.4.4.2. A copy of the site-specific spill plan.

6.4.4.3. Name of primary and alternate site managers, supervisor of site manager, and their phone numbers.

6.4.4.4. Description of waste(s) generated.

6.4.4.5. Description of the process(s) generating the waste(s).

6.4.4.6. Appropriate SDS numbers, SDS, or product technical information.

6.4.5. The IAP or ACCS site manager and an alternate are responsible for ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met, such as container marking and labeling, training, and record-keeping.

6.4.6. 96 CEG/CEIEC will assign an accumulation site number as described in Table 5.2.

6.4.7. IAP and ACCS site postings and records requirements are identified in Table 6.1. Signs at IAP and ACCS must identify the IAP or ACCS manager, the alternate, their phone numbers, and the site identification number. All site records must be maintained for 3 years after site closes.

6.4.8. ACCS inspections will occur and be documented by the ACCS manager or alternate weekly. Weekly means there will be a documented inspection at least every 7 days. At a minimum, inspection documentation shall include the date and time of the inspection, the legibly printed name of the inspector, the number of containers, the condition of the containers, a notation of the observations made, and the date and nature of any repairs or other remedial actions. Maintain recent (6 months) ACCS inspection checklists at the site. Documentation of weekly site inspections is not required at an IAP. However, IAP managers should inspect their sites as needed to maintain compliance. Documentation of these inspections is recommended but not required.

6.4.9. It is good management practice for IAP and ACCS managers or alternates to walk through the areas daily to ensure containers are closed and are not leaking or handled improperly.

6.4.10. IAPs shall be located at or near the point of waste generation and be under the control of the operator of the process generating the waste. ACCSs will be under the control of the site manager and alternate. Implement appropriate controls to limit access to authorized users.

6.4.11. Post “No Smoking” signs when there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive wastes.

Store ignitable or reactive waste no less than 50 feet away from sources of ignition, sparks, and the installation boundary. Note: In accordance with AFOSHSTD 91-501, Air Force

Consolidated Occupational Safety Standard, the transfer of flammable liquids (closed cup flash point below 100°F) from one container to another shall be done with containers electrically interconnected (bonded).

6.5. Turn-In Requirements and Procedures.

6.5.1. DRMO is responsible for disposal of all HW/HM except for the wastes identified in

Table 6.2.

6.5.2. HW must be turned in before the end of the allowed accumulation time or allowed quantity is exceeded.

6.5.3. All transfers and turn-ins of HW must be conducted under the direction of 96

CEG/CEIEC and processed through the waste disposal services contractor. Waivers for waste transfer and disposal or recycling services must be obtained from 96 CEG/CEIEC prior to arranging for and transferring waste to a non-DRMO waste disposal services contractor.

6.5.4. Contact the HW disposal services contractor (882-7664) to initiate the turn-in process.

The HW disposal services contractor will generate the DD Form 1348-1A.

6.5.5. Ensure DRMS Form 1930 or EESOH-MIS equivalent, HW Profile Sheet accurately describes the HW stream and has been signed by the generator (site manager or alternate). It is the responsibility of the UEC to request waste profile re-authorization from 96 CEG/CEIEC if there have been any process changes. Chapter 5 provides details on waste determination and profiling requirements.

6.5.6. Unopened or unused serviceable HM that is no longer needed shall be identified to the

Hazardous Material Cell (HMC) as soon as the material is determined to be excess. Special requirements for HM turn-in are described in Paragraph 12.7.

6.5.7. Empty containers should be recycled through the Eglin Recycling Center when feasible. Otherwise, discard empty containers in general refuse.

24 EGLINAFBI32-7003 22 APRIL 2015

6.5.7.1. In order for a container to be considered empty, all material must have been removed that can be removed using commonly employed methods (e.g., pouring,…
