SAFB INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
PLAN SUMMARY
1. PURPOSE.
a. The ISWMP provides guidance enabling SAFB to comply with solid-waste management requirements and waste reduction goals specified by the Texas Municipal Solid Waste
Management Regulations, Texas Industrial Solid Waste and Municipal Hazardous Waste
Regulations, and United States Air Force policy.
b. Statement. This summary provides a brief overview of the requirements and major aspects of this plan. The purpose of this plan is to promote environmental excellence at SAFB, ensure compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and provide guidance for the solid-waste management program. The plan is based on the federal, state, and local laws and regulations and Air Force direction available at the time of preparation and is subject to modification as those requirements change.
2. SUMMARY.
a. Proper solid-waste management is essential to maintain health and safety standards and a quality environment. SAFB must properly manage all wastes to ensure a healthy and safe working environment and prevent degradation of water quality.
b. The SAFB ISWMP provides the framework for the solid-waste management program.
This plan will ensure pollution prevention goals are achieved through source reduction, recycling, and reuse programs. This plan provides solid waste generators with guidance for proper disposal of waste streams. Many waste streams are prohibited from disposal as municipal solid waste; this document explains the proper method and location for prohibited waste disposal.
3. CONDITIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION. This plan will be implemented upon receipt.
Continuous support is required.
4. OPERATIONS TO BE CONDUCTED. Proper handling, storage, collection, and disposition/disposal of solid waste at SAFB. Municipal solid waste will be recycled whenever possible.
5. KEY ASSUMPTIONS. There are two assumptions: the first is SAFB will continue to utilize a contractor for solid waste pickup and disposal. Based on the first assumption, the second assumption is SAFB will generate solid waste in quantities large enough to warrant a waste reduction and recycling program, not only to meet federal and Air Force requirements, but to continue its good neighbor policy in the community.
6. OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS. None.
7. OPSEC. Normal.
8. TIME TO COMMENCE EFFECTIVE OPERATIONS. This plan will be implemented whenever municipal and recyclable solid waste is generated on base.

Management Policy, February 2008
TASKED ORGANIZATIONS: See Annex A for tasked organizations.
1. SITUATION.
a. General. Implementation of this plan will ensure continued execution of the mission at
SAFB through compliance with solid-waste laws, regulations, and Air Force policy. Complying with the law is essential; equally important is minimizing the installation’s impact on solid waste management in the local community and maintaining landfill capacity. Limited landfill space has forced Air Force installations to implement source reduction, recycling, and waste diversion mandates. In addition to limited landfill space, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality recently passed regulations increasing requirements for handling special wastes such as fluorescent light tubes, household hazardous waste, and used tires. The Air Force is committed to achieving environmental excellence at all installations by developing effective solid-waste management programs to meet the goals of P2, waste reduction and diversion, and recycling compliance.
b. Goal. Maintain 100 percent compliance with environmental laws and increase solid-waste diversion programs to meet Air Force goals and help extend the life of local landfills.
c. Objectives. The following objectives have been established:
(1) Maintain 100 percent compliance with environmental requirements.
(2) Provide waste management programs for specific waste streams, ensuring maximum reuse, recycling, and diversion.
(3) Implement the P2 hierarchy in all aspects of solid-waste management.
(4) Enforce a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure compliance with environmental requirements and to evaluate progress toward goals.
(5) Improve recycling under the construction and demolition (C&D) debris management program.
d. Program Concepts. The solid-waste management program at SAFB focuses on compliance, P2, and sustainability. These program concepts dictate the waste management principles for organizations by providing guidance for achieving waste reduction and ensuring mission sustainability. Solid-waste management plays an integral role in P2, with emphasis on the principle of ―Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and then Dispose as a Last Option.‖
(1) Pollution Prevention.
(a) Federal Guidelines. Federal guidelines for implementing reduction programs associated with the disposal of solid waste are promulgated under Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (40 CFR). In 40 CFR Section 246.100(b), it delineates minimum actions for Federal agencies for the recovery of resources from solid waste through source separation.
(b) State of Texas Guidelines. Senate Bill (SB) 1340, passed in 1991, set a statewide recycling goal of 40 percent for municipal solid waste by 1 January 1994. Senate Bill 1051, passed in 1993, expanded the programs established under SB 1340 and changed the 40 percent recycling goal to a goal of reducing the total amount of municipal solid waste disposed of by 40 percent through source reduction and recycling. This change in emphasis is consistent with the
―hierarchy‖ specified by Texas law of source reduction (most preferred option), reuse and/or recycling, treatment, and land disposal (least preferred option).
(c) Air Force Diversion Requirements. Both Department of Defense (DoD) and Air
Force policy require installations to meet guidelines similar to those established by the State of
Texas.
1. In Feb 2008, DoD and Air Force Headquarters issued new (Non-hazardous)
Solid Waste Management Policies. The memorandum implements solid waste and recycling requirements of EO 13423. It requires all facilities to maintain waste prevention and recycling programs in the most cost-effective manner possible and sets solid waste diversion goals to be achieved by 2010. The diversion goal for non-hazardous solid waste without construction and demolition (C&D) waste is 40% by 2010. The goal for C&D waste is 50% diversion by 2010.
2. The 82d Civil Engineer Squadron, Environmental Flight (82 CES/CEV) reports solid-waste disposal and diversion to Headquarters AETC Natural Environment (A7CAN) quarterly. These data are compiled by A7CAN and are used for the semiannual reporting to the
Office of the Secretary of Defense for Environmental Safety and Occupational Health Management
Review. The following data are reported:
a. Total solid waste disposed of from SAFB (tons), excluding military family housing (MFH) due to privatization.
b. Total C&D debris disposed of (tons).
c. Total solid waste diverted from disposal (tons).
d. Total C&D debris diverted from disposal (tons).
e. Number of personnel at the installation.
f. Per capita solid-waste generation.
g. Diversion rate (percent). The diversion rate is the amount diverted divided by the amount generated, multiplied by 100.
h. Cost avoidance (dollars). Cost avoidance is the potential disposal cost if all waste were to be land filled minus the actual cost for diversion.
(d) Waste Diversion Progress. Solid-waste generation at SAFB from fiscal year (FY)
1990 through FY 2008 is shown in Table 1-1 on page 1-20. During that time frame, approximately one-quarter of the total amount of refuse collected from the base has been reported as going to the Wichita Falls City Landfill composting facility.
(2) Sustainable Design, Development, and Operations. Principles of sustainability are based on environmentally responsible design, which considers all aspects of the facility life cycle from initial planning to final deconstruction, ensuring the ―best fit‖ between built and natural environments. Sustainable development produces facilities and infrastructure that meet mission requirements in a cost-effective manner while minimizing adverse impacts to the built and natural environments through all phases of the life cycle. Decisions must balance environmental and economic benefits while addressing durability and maintainability, toxicity reduction, reuse and recycling, energy and natural resource conservation, and the use of renewable energies. The
Air Force sustainable development policy is currently defined in an Air Staff Policy letter (U.S.
Air Force 2001).
(3) Environmental Planning. Environmental planning documents such as Environmental
Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements dictate courses of action which result in the least impact or mitigated impact to the environment for a specified project. SAFB requires personnel and contractors to abide by the requirements set forth in these planning documents when conducting work on the installation. For additional information, contact the Environmental
Flight, Environmental Planning Section at 6-5698.
e. Assumptions. There are two assumptions: the first is SAFB will continue to utilize a contractor for solid-waste pickup and disposal. Based on the first assumption, the second assumption is SAFB will generate solid waste in quantities large enough to warrant a waste reduction and recycling program, not only to meet federal and Air Force requirements, but to continue its good neighbor policy in the community.
f. Legal Considerations. The objectives, policies, and procedures included within this plan are effective when approved by the installation commander, 82 TRW/CC, as the responsible official for implementing Air Force policy. This Integrated Solid-Waste Management Plan
(ISWMP) identifies and describes solid waste management procedures, goals, objectives, and strategies including management practices used on SAFB; determines applicable federal, state, local, and Air Force requirements; and describes how to comply with these requirements. This
ISWMP may direct SAFB management requirements that are more stringent than regulations.
Should there be a conflict between this ISWMP and regulatory requirements, the regulations will have precedence.
2. MISSION. SAFB is home to the 82d Training Wing (82 TRW) and the 80th Flying Training
Wing (80 FTW). The mission of the 82 TRW is ―Deliver Technically Superior, Highly-
Motivated Warrior Airmen‖ and the mission of the 80 FTW is to ―provide combat airpower by producing top quality fighter pilots for the NATO alliance.‖ This plan supports both missions by meeting the strategic objective of aggressively complying with environmental requirements.
Certain aspects of base operations are considered mission critical and dependent on one another.
The base mission and its integrated operations are highly dependent on the ability to dispose of waste off-base; therefore, the longevity of local landfills has a direct impact on long-term mission viability.
3. EXECUTION. Specific information on solid waste classification and management at SAFB is contained in Appendix 1 to this basic plan.
4. ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS. Normal administration and logistics will be used to support this plan. The resources required and available to support the implementation and continuation of this plan are as stated in this Plan and in Annex J.

This ISWMP describes the solid-waste management programs at SAFB and will be implemented and followed by organizations generating, reusing, recycling, and disposing of solid wastes. Implementation of these procedures will ensure compliance with federal, state, and local rules and regulations and Air Force policy related to solid waste.
2. SOLID-WASTE MANAGEMENT METHODS AND PROCEDURES. Installations are required by E.O. 13423, the Air Force P2 Program Guide, and AFI 32-7080, Pollution
Prevention Program, to integrate cost-effective waste reduction and recycling programs into their municipal solid-waste management program and to have a Qualified Recycling Program
(QRP). Solid-waste management methods at SAFB are based on the P2 concept of ―Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and then Dispose as a last option.‖ Efforts include management of a refuse and recycling collection contract, recycling outreach programs, and operation of a Universal Waste
Recycling Center (UWRC). Waste-reduction programs in place at SAFB are described below.
a. Reuse Programs. Successful reuse programs depend on well-coordinated efforts between government agencies and their contractors for virtually all property management and facility deconstruction actions. Proper handling of equipment during deconstruction to retain the item’s best condition plays a key role in extracting items that are worthy of reuse. Key components of the reuse segment of the solid-waste management program are furniture and office equipment/supplies; general fixtures, fasteners, and tools; and unopened, common use hazardous materials. Ozone-depleting substances are closely tracked and their reuse is strictly controlled by
Chapter 4 of AFI 32-7086, Hazardous Materials Management (U.S. Air Force 2004).
b. Recycling and Refuse Programs.
(1) The QRP at SAFB addresses recycling efforts by Army and Air Force Exchange
Service (AAFES), Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), and Defense Reutilization and
Marketing Office Receipt In Place Location (DRMO-RIPL), in addition to the base activities.
Installations are required by E.O. 13423, the Air Force P2 Program Guide, and AFI 32-7080 to integrate cost-effective waste reduction and recycling programs into their municipal solid-waste management program and to have a QRP. Under the QRP, any contracts awarded after 20
October 1993 covering government-owned, contractor-operated facilities must include provisions obligating each contractor to participate in the installation’s program or to establish their own recycling program if they are unable to incorporate the government-operated recycling program into their operations.
(2) All recyclable materials are collected by the Recycling Center (RC) staff and stored at the RC off Heritage Way (Building 2140). Commodities are sorted, crushed, baled, and prepared as appropriate for delivery to vendors. Additional information regarding the recycling operation at SAFB can be found in Appendix 2, Qualified Recycling Program.
1-2
(3) Refuse collection on SAFB is performed by a service contractor under a contract managed by maintenance engineering (82 CES/CEOE). The Refuse Contract provides a prearranged collection route and schedule for refuse in the commercial/industrial areas. The solid-waste management contractor provides all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and services necessary to collect refuse and food waste as defined in the statement of work.
c. Waste Stream Characterization.
(1) Refuse accepted at the landfill is reported by source—dumpster/roll off—rather than by category. A fourth category, compost, is also reported as tonnage going to the Wichita Falls
City Landfill composting facility.
(2) Organic-Waste Management.
(a) Definition: Organics are materials that are or were once living, such as leaves, grass, agricultural crop residues, wood, or food scraps.
(b) Generation: The SAFB Solid-Waste Management Plan (2000) and Diversion
Study (2004) documented waste streams for inclusion in waste-diversion metrics and identified potential new diversion programs. The following organic waste information was obtained from these studies.
1. Food Waste. Most of the students eat three meals a day at the on-base dining facilities. There are several dining facilities; a separate facility is used for centralized food preparation and baking, and additional vegetable and other food preparation is done at the dining facilities. Food waste from the on-base dining facilities was identified as making up a significant portion (20 to 27 percent) of the solid-waste stream generated by the base.
2. Green Waste. Green waste is generated by the grounds maintenance contractor from mowing grass and trimming trees and shrubs.
3. Wood waste. Wood waste accounted for 7 percent of the total solid waste identified during the 2000 study. Six percent of the total consisted of wooden pallets from the
Commissary.
(c) Material Management and Collection.
1. Food Waste. Food pulpers are installed in all of the dining facilities. These pulpers reduce the volume of food waste by approximately 60 percent. SAFB has partnered with the City of Wichita Falls to collect the food waste as a single stream from the dining facilities and the food preparation facility and compost it at the City’s landfill.
1-3
2. Green Waste. The grounds maintenance contractor is mulching grass clippings. Wood waste from pruning trees and shrubs is transported to the City of Wichita Falls
Transfer Station for eventual composting.
3. Wood Pallets. Food is delivered to the dining facilities by a food delivery service. During most deliveries, the material or product is left on a pallet that is unloaded at a later time. The empty pallets can be recycled or disposed of, but because of the frequency of service, the food service company loads the empty pallets on the delivery truck to be returned and reused. Each dining facility receives an average of 18 pallets of food every other day. With the exception of the dining facilities, wood pallets are collected for recycling or reuse at DRMO-
RIPL. Treated wood should not be recycled.
4. Utility Poles. Telephone poles are recycled by 366 TRS. 366 TRS sells them to a local company and a private individual. An average of 200 poles is recycled per year by 366
TRS.
(d) Regulatory Requirements. The Texas Health and Safety Code (HSC) includes provisions for handling materials suitable for composting. These provisions were adopted as part of the state’s goal of reducing the amount of municipal solid waste through source reduction and recycling.
1. Under the Solid-Waste Management Act of 1989 (HSC, Chapter 361), responsibility for the management of municipal solid-waste was delegated to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). There are no specific requirements under the
Solid-Waste Management Act regarding organic-waste management. However, landfill operators are offered an incentive—in the form of a composting refund of 15 percent of the solid-waste fees collected by the facility—to implement a composting operation that returns the finished compost to beneficial reuse for the facility. The amount of the refund increases to
20 percent ―if, in addition to composting the yard waste, the operator of the facility also bans the disposal of green waste at the facility‖ (HSC, Section 361.0135).
2. The Comprehensive Municipal Solid Waste Management, Resource
Recovery, and Conservation Act of 1989 (HSC, Chapter 363) also addresses composting. Under this Act, each local government is required to prepare a local solid waste management plan.
Section 363.064 requires the plant to recommend composting programs for yard waste and related organic wastes, including creation of community composting centers and adoption of the
Texas Agricultural Extension Service’s ―Don’t Bag It‖ program.
(3) Construction and Demolition Debris Management.
(a) Definition: Construction and demolition debris is defined in TAC
Section 330.2.(28) as ―waste resulting from construction or demolition projects; includes all materials which are directly or indirectly the by-products of construction work or result from demolition of buildings and other structures, including, but not limited to, paper, cartons, gypsum board, wood, excelsior, rubber, and plastics.‖
1-4
(b) The overall goal of C&D debris management on SAFB is to reduce the amount of waste generated and to reduce the amount of material disposed of in the landfill. The DoD goal for C&D waste is 50% diversion by 2010. Materials should be reused or recycled, preferably at the point of generation.
(c) Generation and Management.
1. Military Construction (MILCON). Most C&D debris generated during new construction—existing foundations, pads, or other concrete or asphalt—is recycled, used as beneficial fill or reused. Data on the amount of C&D debris disposed of from this source is not reported with disposal metrics and is tracked separately. Future MILCON projects will generate the most debris. Recyclable components of these buildings consist of concrete, masonry, brick, ceramic sinks and toilets, and copper piping. Any C&D debris generated or diverted from construction projects will be reported to 82 CES/CEVP at 6-2415.
2. Pavements ID/IQ Contractor. Some of the asphalt/concrete generated on-base by the contractor has been transported to local companies for reuse in projects or beneficial fill.
Currently, the base does not require the contractor to perform in-place recycling of asphalt, but this practice could be included in future contract requirements.
3. Housing Maintenance. Housing maintenance has been turned over to the privatization contractor, Balfour Beatty. Balfour Beatty will dispose of all C&D waste. SAFB will not collect this information for inclusion in the solid waste metrics.
4. C&D Storage Yard. Horizontal Construction (82 CES/CEOHH) has a C&D debris storage yard near DRMO; materials from the storage yard are not disposed of but are transported and reused as beneficial fill. Any C&D debris generated from construction projects which are recycled will be reported to 82 CEVP at 6-2415.
5. Material Management. Current and future practices for segregating C&D materials from the waste stream for reuse and/or processing for recycling has been employed to divert C&D waste from MSW landfills (i.e., asphalt and concrete crushing and mixed glass cullet pulverizing). This requirement (OUSD Memo 1 Feb 08) is included in the Environmental
Statement of Work.
(d) Regulatory Requirements.
1. The TCEQ regulates the transportation of municipal solid waste. Under 30
TAC Chapter 330 Section 330.9(a), a special permit (TCEQ-20008, Application to Claim a
Permit by Rule for a Special Collection Route for Transporters Using Enclosed Containers or
Enclosed Vehicles to Collect and Transport Brush, Construction or Demolition Wastes, and
Rubbish to Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Type IV Landfill Facilities) is required before disposal is allowed in a Type IV MSW landfill. To apply for a special permit, call the TCEQ at
512/239-6001.

2. Recycling of Recycled Paving Material (RPM) for Use as Aggregate Base
Course must comply with specifications set forth by the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT).
a. Coarse aggregate will be composed of naturally occurring gravels, crushed stone, crushed concrete or other non-hazardous recycled materials, processed recycled asphalt pavements, bottom ash, foundry slag, glass, recycled crumb rubber so as to produce a composite mixture conforming to grading requirements.
b. Asphaltic material may be used as long as the stabilized base course conforms to the specified engineering requirements set forth in Special Specification 3157 (the specification can be viewed online at: .ftp://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/cmd/cserve/specs/1993/spec/es3157.pdf
(4) Military Family Housing Operations. The MFH areas at SAFB were privatized in
February of 2007. Curbside and compost pickup service were turned over to Balfour Beatty at the same time.
(a) Special Issues.
1. Bulk Item Pickup. The RC contractor schedules bulk item collection on-base.
Special pickups may be required during move-in or move-out [permanent change of station
(PCS)] or furniture delivery to dorms.
2. Electronic Waste. Consumer electronic devices (CEDs) or any component of an electronic device, including, but not limited to, computers, computer peripherals, telephones, answering machines, radios, stereo equipment, tape players/recorders, phonographs, videocassette players/recorders, compact disc players/recorders, calculators, and some appliances are prohibited from disposal in the trash. SAFB organizations must take their electronic items to
DRMO-RIPL (Building 2135) for disposal when they reach the end of their useful life.
Whenever possible, electronics should be reused until they no longer function to prevent untimely disposal. Electronic waste generated from the dorms can also be sold to electronic equipment recyclers within the local community. A list of computer/electronic equipment recyclers can be found at the following website:
http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/assistance/P2Recycle/electronics/ReuseRecycle.html.
3. Household Hazardous Materials. Household hazardous materials (HHM) are the chemical products used in residences that are corrosive, toxic, explosive, reactive, and/or flammable. This includes such items as pesticides, chemical cleaners, paints, and more.
Hazardous material that can no longer be used for its intended purpose (expired shelf life, out of specification, unused product/material) is hazardous wastes and must be disposed of properly.
Personnel are encouraged to purchase amounts of products that can be used up easily; read and follow label safety directions and if it is not possible to completely use up the material, then follow storage and/or the disposal guide for proper disposal. For unused HHM, first try to donate them to friends and neighbors who will use the HHMs for their original use. The city of
Wichita Falls provides HHM recycling information for Sheppard AFB employees who live in
Wichita Falls (see city webpage Hot Link:
ftp://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/cmd/cserve/specs/1993/spec/es3157.pdf ftp://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/cmd/cserve/specs/1993/spec/es3157.pdf http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/assistance/P2Recycle/electronics/ReuseRecycle.html
1-6 http://txwichitafalls.civicplus.com/documents/Departments/Sanitation/Sanitation%20Recycle%2
0Brochure%202008.pdf ). Military personnel who live in Balfour Beatty Communities Military
Housing can donate their HHM to the HAZMAT Center bldg 2116; phone 940-676-6333. The
Environmental Flight does not have a HHM collection site on Sheppard AFB. However, the
Environmental Flight will provide guidance and limited assistance to base personnel disposing of
HHM. Please call 676-4600 or 2415 for assistance.
4. Packing Materials. Cardboard boxes used to transport household goods should be flattened and taken to the 24-hour drop-off at the RC (Building 2140).
5. Permanent Change of Station. All personal property must be removed from quarters prior to the final inspection date, with the exception of a few cleaning items. This includes all trash and boxes. No trash should be present at the quarters at the final inspection.
a. MFH residents can take their unopened food (including frozen goods) to any local charitable organization within the local community.
(5) Medical Waste.
(a) The management of medical waste is prescribed in AFI 41-201, Managing
Clinical Engineering Programs (U.S. Air Force 2003).
