SAFB INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

PLAN SUMMARY

1. PURPOSE.

a. AFI 32-7042 requires installations develop and implement an Integrated Solid Waste

Management Plan (ISWMP). This ISWMP contains guidance for managing municipal solid waste, compostable materials, construction and demolition (C&D) debris, and industrial solid waste to ensure compliance with Federal Executive Orders, Texas Municipal Solid Waste Management Regulations, Texas Industrial Solid Waste and Municipal Hazardous Waste Regulations, and United States Air Force policy and requirements for solid waste disposal, waste minimization, recycling, and reuse.

b. The SAFB ISWMP provides the framework for the solid waste management program and provides solid waste generators with guidance for proper disposal of waste streams. This plan will ensure pollution prevention and solid waste diversion goals are achieved through source reduction, recycling, and reuse programs.

c. 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 natural resources.

d. 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. CONDITIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION. This plan will be implemented upon receipt.

Continuous support is required.

3. OPERATIONS TO BE CONDUCTED. Proper handling, storage, collection, and disposition/disposal of solid waste at SAFB. Municipal solid waste will be recycled whenever possible.

4. KEY ASSUMPTIONS. There are two assumptions: the first is SAFB will continue to use a contractor for solid waste collection 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.

5. OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS. None.

6. OPSEC. Normal.

7. SUMMARY OF CHANGES. The plan was rewritten to address several formatting and content issues identified in the previous plan. Furthermore, the content of the plan was checked

19 Sep 12 v to ensure that the plan accurately reflects current regulatory guidance for the management of solid wastes. This rewrite also included the addition of a Solid Waste Inspection Checklist to be used for the required weekly inspection.

TASK ORGANIZATION: See Annex A.

1. PURPOSE: AFI 32-7042 requires installations develop and implement an ISWMP. This

ISWMP contains guidance for managing municipal solid waste, compostable materials, construction and demolition (C&D) debris, and industrial solid waste to ensure compliance with applicable requirements for solid waste disposal, waste minimization, recycling, and reuse. Civil Engineering (CE) is the installation commander's organization for ensuring that solid waste management processes are in compliance with all applicable DoD, federal, state, interstate, and local environmental requirements and is responsible for preparing and maintaining this ISWMP.

2. CONDITIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION:

a. 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 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.

b. There are many regulatory requirements that impact the management and disposal of solid waste. These include Federal laws and regulations; Executive Orders; state laws

19 Sep 12 and regulations; local ordinances and regulations; DoD directives, instructions, and policy memoranda; and Air Force instructions and policies.

3. OPERATIONS TO BE CONDUCTED:

a. Concept of Operations: Integrated solid waste management (ISWM) is designed to reduce the waste stream by reducing the amount of waste generated at the source, then by reusing and recycling materials to further reduce the amount of waste disposed of in the landfill.

b. Policy: The base will make every possible effort to divert solid waste and C&D debris from landfills or incinerators through reuse, donation, recycling, composting, mulching, or other waste diversion activities to reduce both the volume of solid waste disposed and overall cost of managing solid waste. ISWM will be implemented in the most cost effective manner possible while meeting all applicable Air Force, DoD, Federal, state, and local waste diversion and recycling requirements.

c. Solid Waste Management Goals: The base goals for solid waste management are to:

1) Continuously reduce the quantity of non-hazardous solid waste generated and increase the percentage of non-hazardous solid waste diverted from disposal facilities to help meet established solid waste diversion goals;

2) Increase the economic benefit of solid waste management;

3) Maintain compliance with applicable Air Force, DoD, Federal, state, and local solid waste management requirements;

4) Increase participation in the Base Qualified Recycling Program (QRP) and maximize solid waste diversion through recycling;

5) Promote source reduction and reuse practices to reduce waste generation; and,

6) Promote environmentally preferable procurement to close the recycling loop.

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.

5. OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS: None.

6. COMMAND RELATIONSHIPS: Normal.

CHAPTER 1

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND POLICIES

This chapter provides information on federal, state, local, DoD and AF requirements for managing solid waste. These laws, regulations, and policies apply to many activities including solid waste disposal and handling, reporting requirements, environmental inspections, waste reduction, recycling, and general health and safety.

1. Applicable Rules and Regulations

1.1. Federal Laws and Regulations

1.1.1. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

This law established standards and guidelines for the management of hazardous and non-hazardous solid wastes. Subtitle D of the RCRA establishes Federal standards for the management of non-hazardous solid waste. The primary goals of Subtitle D are to encourage environmentally sound solid waste management practices, recycling of waste material, and conservation of natural resources. Subtitle D has mandatory technical standards for non-hazardous solid waste disposal facilities. This Act also requires Federal installations comply with all Federal, state, and local requirements concerning the disposal and management of solid waste. These requirements include permitting, licensing, and reporting. It also requires the Federal government to promote standards and practices for the procurement of recycled and recovered materials.

1.1.2. Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 239-299

RCRA was codified in Title 40, CFR Parts 239-299. Applicable sections of these federal regulations are listed below.

Part 240: Guidelines for the Thermal Processing of Solid Wastes - Contains guidance for the operation of solid waste incinerators and thermal processing units.

Part 243: Guidelines for the Storage and Collection of Residential, Commercial, and Institutional Solid Waste - Establishes requirements and recommended practices for the storage, collection, and management of solid waste, and for the operation of vehicles used in the collection, transport, and handling of waste

Part 246: Source Separation for Materials Recovery Guidelines - Contains recycling requirements for the recovery of paper, corrugated containers, and other consumer goods.

19 Sep 12

Part 261: Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste - Contains the RCRA definition of a solid waste and lists the criteria for characterization as a hazardous waste.

1.1.3. Disposal of Recyclable Materials

This law contains requirements for the distribution of proceeds generated from installation recycling programs and forms the basis for the establishment of Qualified Recycling Programs (QRP). Reference: 10 U.S.C. §2577.

1.1.4. Disposition of Proceeds from DoD Sales of Surplus Property

The disposition of proceeds is determined by whether the recycling program is a “qualified” recycling program. If the requirements of this regulation are followed and the definition of a qualified recycling program (QRP) is met, then a recycling program is operating as a qualified recycling program. If the requirements are not followed, all cash and cash equivalents resulting from the sale of recyclables must be deposited directly into the United States Treasury.

Reference: Title 32 CFR Part 172

1.1.5. Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG) and Recovered Materials

Advisory Notices (RMAN)

The USEPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG) designate recycled content products that government agencies should buy. USEPA publishes purchasing guidance and recommendations for recycled content levels in Recovered Materials Advisory Notices (RMANs) that accompany each CPG and updates its guidance annually.

1.1.6. Executive Order (EO) 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management

This EO requires Federal agencies to increase diversion of solid waste, as appropriate, and maintain cost-effective waste prevention and recycling programs in its facilities. Reference:

This instruction provides instructions on the collection and disposition of cash and cash equivalents received by the DoD components for the DoD sale of surplus personal property. It requires that the Air Force establish a qualified recycling program. It also sets for the DoD policy that proceeds from the sale of recyclable material shall be used to reimburse installation-level costs incurred in operation of the recyclable program; and that after reimbursement of the cost incurred by the installation to operate the recycling program, installation commanders may use up to 50 percent of remaining sale proceeds for pollution prevention, energy conservation, and occupational safety and health activities; and that any sale proceeds remaining after the preceding distributions may be transferred to installation morale or welfare activities.

Reference: Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 7310.1 Disposition of Proceeds from DoD Sales of Surplus Personal Property, 10 July 1989 (Administrative Reissuance Incorporating through Change 3, 26 July 1993).

1.4.2. DODI 4715.4 Pollution Prevention

This instruction establishes the DoD policy to use the environmental management hierarchy to develop environmental solutions in the following order of preference:

1) Prevent pollution at the source to eliminate or minimize adverse health effects while protecting, preserving, restoring, and enhancing the quality of the environment.

2) Reuse pollutants that cannot be eliminated. Recycle, in an environmentally safe manner, pollutants that cannot be reused.

19 Sep 12

3) Treat, in an environmentally safe manner, pollutants that cannot be eliminated or recycled.

4) Dispose or release pollutants into the environment only as a last recourse and only where such disposal or release can be controlled and conducted in a manner that is safe for human health and the environment and consistent with applicable legal requirements.

It requires installations implement programs to monitor and achieve progress toward the DoD pollution prevention measures of merit (MoM); establish an affirmative procurement program;

establish and execute cost-effective waste prevention and qualified recycling programs to reduce the volume of non-hazardous solid waste; and establish procedures governing qualified recycling programs.

1.4.3. Defense Materiel Disposition Manual

CHAPTER 2

SOLID WASTE GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT METHODS

2. Solid Waste Generation

The generators of solid waste at the base include the following categories: residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial (regulated), construction and demolition debris, and special wastes.

• Residential Waste – Residential waste includes wastes generated from single quarters, dormitories, temporary lodging and quarters. Wastes generated include typical household garbage, paper, glass, metal, plastics, food wastes, bulky items, furniture, and yard waste.

• Commercial/Institutional/Industrial (CII) Waste – Commercial and institutional wastes are generated from administrative offices, warehouses, training facilities, schools, medical facilities (not including regulated medical wastes), recreation facilities, retail/commercial establishments, base exchanges, commissary, and food service operations. Typical wastes include paper, food wastes, cardboard, clothing and textiles, furniture, and packing materials. Industrial wastes (regulated) are generated at facilities conducting industrial operations and manufacturing processes. Operational and industrial areas include facility and equipment maintenance shops, vehicle and aircraft maintenance shops, motor pools, materiel receiving and issue facilities, and warehouses. Solid wastes generated from these areas include cardboard, scrap metal, wood pallets, paper, and packing materials.

• Construction and Demolition Waste – Construction and demolition (C&D) wastes are generated from the demolition of old buildings and structures, construction of new buildings and structures, and renovations of existing structures. The quantities of C&D wastes generated fluctuates annually depending on the amount of construction, renovation, and demolition occurring. Typical wastes include lumber, timber, reinforcing steel, pipes, wires, concrete, brick, plaster, metal, wall-board, roofing, insulation materials, and asphalt.

• Special Waste – Some CII activities on the installation generate some special types of regulated solid waste that cannot be disposed of in the regular trash. Examples of these special wastes include used oil; used antifreeze; petroleum, oil and lubricant (POL)-contaminated soil and used absorbents with petroleum products; tires; batteries; used cooking grease; used fluorescent bulbs; used toner cartridges; and regulated medical wastes.

2.1 Solid Waste Management Methods

The methods for solid waste management follow the pollution prevention concept of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and then Dispose as a last option”. This means first reducing waste at the source, thereby avoiding the need for disposal. When source reduction cannot be done, then reuse and recycling are used. Treatment and disposal are the least desirable options and are the last options when source reduction, reuse, and recycling are not possible.

19 Sep 12

2.1.1 Source Reduction

Source reduction; or waste prevention, means using less material whenever possible. Source reduction methods help to prevent waste in the first place – before recycling. Source reduction methods include reusing materials instead of throwing them away and using best management practices (BMP) that generate less waste.

• Best Management Practices – The base supports and encourages the following management practices to reduce the amount of waste generated:

• Using e-mail and voice mail in place of written memos whenever practical.

• Saving e-mail messages to files in…
