ABOUT THIS PLAN

This installation-specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) uses the U.S. Air Force’s (AF) standardized Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP) template. This plan is not an inventory of all hazardous waste (HW) requirements and practices. Where applicable, external resources and associated document links, including Air Force Instructions (AFIs); Air Force Manuals (AFMANs); AF Playbooks; and federal, state, local, and permit requirements, are referenced to ensure current content.

Each section of this plan begins with standard language that addresses AF and Department of Defense (DoD) policy and federal requirements.

The standard language is restricted from editing to ensure consistent application across the AF enterprise. Standard language is maintained by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) designated Subject Matter Expert (SME) for this plan.

Immediately following the standard text are installation-specific sections that address state, local, and installation-specific requirements and processes. Installation sections are maintained and updated by the installation HW Program Manager and/or the AFCEC Section appointed to support this installation.

This document is optimized to be accessed and viewed electronically on the installation and AF eDASH website, the primary communication tool for AF EMPs.

DOCUMENT CONTROL

Standardized HWMP Template

In accordance with (IAW) the AFCEC Environmental (CZ) Business Rule (BR) 08, EMP Review, Update, and Maintenance, the standard content in this HWMP template is reviewed periodically, updated as appropriate, and approved by the HW SME.

This version of the template is current as of 10/02/2024 and supersedes the 2021 version.

NOTE: When installations update their HWMPs, installations should adopt the most recent version of this template available. Installations are not required to change HWMPs after template updates.

Installation HWMP

The initial HWMP must be approved and signed by the Installation Commander (at the time of publication) as the legal HW Generator for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ID assigned to this installation. The approval can be via signature or as documented in appropriate Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health Council (ESOHC) minutes (AFMAN 32-7002, 5.2.2.). NOTE: This is not a Wing Contingency Plan and is not governed by installation or Wing plans or readiness format or coordination requirements of DAFI 10-401, Operations Planning and Execution. It is governed by AFMAN 32-7002, Environmental Compliance and Pollution Prevention, Section 5.2. Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP). Because this is not a contingency plan, coordination should be with EMS CFT and applicable units with roles and responsibilities in the HWMP. The plan does not require a new signature after each change in wing command.

Record of Updates – The HWMP is updated as changes to waste generation and management practices occur, including those driven by changes in applicable regulations and approved by the installation HW Program Manager as the plan Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR).

Formatting and administrative changes such as the incorporation of updated regulatory language, or other minor updates are documented below.

Record of Annual Review – IAW AFMAN 32-7002, this plan is reviewed annually by the EMS CFT. Formatting and administrative changes should be noted in the previous paragraph for record of updates as approved by the EMS CFT Chair and do not require Installation Commander or Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health Council (ESOHC) approval. Substantive revisions require coordination and approval by the Installation Commander as determined by the EMS CFT Chair and/or IAW host installation procedures. Substantive changes include manpower or resource requirements changes that impact installation hazardous waste generating organizations.

1 OVERVIEW AND SCOPE

This HWMP contains procedures for management of HW. In lieu of federal, or state requirements, AFMAN 32-7002, acts as the main driver for the HWMP. The HW Playbook serves as supplemental guidance to this plan. Where applicable, DoD, AF, and Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements are included. Each installation must include supplements as warranted to address applicable State and/or local HW requirements/procedures.

Installation Supplement

1.1 Objective

Hazardous wastes generated within Idaho must be managed in accordance with the State of Idaho, United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and AF regulatory requirements. This HWMP establishes procedures which, when properly implemented, assure the proper collection, segregation, storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste.

1.2 Implementation

Implementation of a comprehensive hazardous waste management program mandated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires maximum cooperation of all activities on Mountain Home AFB. It is the responsibility of the Installation Commander to ensure compliance with all RCRA requirements for Mountain Home AFB. The individual base organizations including tenants, contractors, and any activity generating, accumulating, monitoring, disposing, or responding to hazardous waste incidents on base, are accountable for conducting their activities in accordance with this plan.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The DAF environmental program adheres to the Environmental Management System (EMS) framework and its "Plan, Do, Check, Act" cycle for ensuring mission success. Executive Order (EO) 14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability; DoDI 4715.17, Environmental Management Systems, DAFI 32-7001, Environmental Management; and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 standard, Environmental Management Systems - Requirements with guidance for use, provide guidance on how environmental programs should be established, implemented, and maintained to operate under the EMS framework.

The HW management program employs EMS-based processes to achieve compliance with all legal obligations and current policy drivers, effectively manage associated risks, and instill a culture of continuous improvement. The HWMP serves as an administrative operational control that defines compliance-related activities and processes.

Environmental Action Plans (EAPs) are developed and maintained as part of the overall EMS on eDASH. EAPs are tools that translate environmental requirements and targets into actionable plans for the HWPM and responsible personnel. HW requirements should be incorporated in installation EAPs to record monitoring and conformance for inspections and audits.

5.1 Overview

All personnel involved in handling hazardous waste must be trained in proper waste management procedures to include all EPA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements. Until the employee has received the appropriate HW training, the employee may only handle HW under the supervision of a Level 2 HW trained individual. APM Levels 1 and 2 training are provided online on the Mountain Home AFB SharePoint HW page under the "DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS" tab. The YouTube training video is located at the same site under the "INSTALLATION SUPPLEMENT" tab:

(https://usaf.dps.mil/teams/10624/mthome/wpp/programpage/hazardous+waste.aspx).

5.2 Personnel Who Need Training

All AF personnel, whose jobs entail working with hazardous waste to include handling, monitoring, and disposal, must be properly trained prior to performing any tasks involving hazardous wastes. This includes, but is not limited to persons who:

Decide which wastes are hazardous wastes.

Complete hazardous waste manifest, annual reports, or exception reports.

Fill hazardous waste containers or tanks.

Remove hazardous waste from accumulation tanks or containers.

Perform hazardous waste cleanup (non-emergency response).

Operate and Inspect AP or CCF.

Collect hazardous waste samples.

Conduct other hazardous waste related activities as designated by installation commanders or environmental managers.

The Required Training table (Table 5-1) lists the types of training required for jobs associated with hazardous waste management at Mountain Home AFB.

5.3 Hazardous Waste Training

All personnel working with hazardous waste are required to have training and be able to provide documented proof of training like a signed and dated training certificate, as follows (also see the Required Training Table 5-1):

Level 1 – Shop Employee Awareness Training. This training is required for all personnel and their supervisors in the shop who, although they do not handle hazardous waste on a regular basis, are reasonably anticipated to encounter it during the course of their duties. This training is to include roles/responsibilities, spill response, safety, and pollution prevention. A slideshow associated with Level 1 training is on the SharePoint HW website located at:

https://usaf.dps.mil/teams/10624/mthome/wpp/programpage/hazardous+waste.aspx The YouTube training video is located at the same site under the "INSTALLATION SUPPLEMENT" tab.

Level 2 – Accumulation Point Manager's (APM) Training. WESS 010 On-Demand AF RCRA Annual/Refresher Hazardous Waste Accumulation Seminar is required for all personnel who work with hazardous waste as an assigned duty on an appointment letter, whether primary or alternate. The training is provided online at: https://www.afit.edu/CE/course_desc.cfm?

p=WESS%20010 This will be known as the APM level 2 training under the "DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS" tab. The YouTube training video should be used to supplement this training.

Upon completion of both segments and passing the online test, the software will print out a dated training certificate. The APM can then email their certificate to the CCF at 366CES.HW_Facility@us.af.mil, who will put it into the training archive. A copy of the training certificate will be maintained in Tab C of the HW Program Binder (see Section 12 of HW APM Handbook).

Level 3 – RCRA Regulated Training. Level 3 training is required for all personnel who work in the 90-day facility, also known as the CCF, and/or those who manage the base hazardous waste program (IHWPM). Level 3 training will include the following:

Introduction to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Hazardous Waste Characterization Container Management Hazardous Waste Disposal Hazardous Waste Manifesting and Transportation Emergency Procedures and Prevention Personnel Safety and Training Pollution Prevention Record Keeping and Reporting Requirements

5.4 Training Frequency

All APMs and their alternates must successfully complete initial and annual refresher hazardous waste training. All shop personnel waste handlers will receive the awareness training initially (within 90 days of assignment) and then annually thereafter from their respective APM. Annual training shall occur prior to the anniversary date of the previous training. All APMs are required to watch the YouTube training video for their initial Level 2 training, and it is optional for refresher training. This video can also be used by APMs to supplement the Level 1 shop employee awareness training.

5.5 Training Documentation

A training certificate is printed out by the software on the online APM training program upon completion of Level 2 training. This certificate must be kept for current employees as long as they work as an APM on the installation. Training records may accompany personnel transferred to another installation; however, a copy of the record must be kept at Mountain Home AFB for the three-year period.

For personnel assigned to the CCF, hazardous waste training records are maintained by the contractor and available for inspection upon request. Training records will include each employee's name, job title, job description and the training received. This information will be kept on file for the individual's period of employment, plus three years.

*Permitted Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDF) comply with recordkeeping requirements established in their HW permit.

**Retention Time may be extended during the course of any unresolved enforcement action or as requested by the EPA. The AF, through the Air Force Records Information Management System (AFRIMS), requires that HW-related reports, documents, studies, HW manifests, and disposal records (including contracts) are destroyed 50 years from the date of the record. Note that the records required by law or external regulation, should be readily available on-site. Records required by AF Record Retention requirements can be archived.

Reporting

The HW Program Manager, and other designated personnel, generate needed reports from the Enterprise Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health - Management Information System (EESOH-MIS).

Enforcement actions, spills, and inspections are reported via the Enforcement Actions, Spills, and Inspections Environmental Reporting (EASIER) database.

6.1 Recordkeeping

RCRA requires the maintenance of certain records on base. The types of records, along with the retention time and reference to a description of each record, is presented in Mountain Home AFB Points of Contact Table in Appendix C. The IHWPM and CCF shall maintain or know the whereabouts of the files identified in the table and shall make them available to appropriate state and federal inspectors upon request.

In order to prepare an accurate biennial report, various codes must be tracked for each container of waste. These codes are the source code, form code, and management methods code. Of these, the APM (or other generator, such as a contractor) shall provide the source code and form code to the IHWPM or CCF for each container of waste turned in for disposal.

The IHWPM or CCF may assist the APM in determining the correct code for each container.

Source Code. Identifies the process type that generated the hazardous waste. General source categories include wastes from ongoing production and service process (waste from general day to day manufacturing, production, or maintenance activities); other intermittent events or processes; remediation of past contamination; pollution control and waste management process residuals; spills and accidental releases; and wastes physically not generated on-site (e.g., from Iraq). Examples of specific codes listed under these general categories:

G02 – Stripping and acid or caustic cleaning (using caustics to remove coatings or layers from parts or assemblies).

G06 – Painting and coating (manufacturing, building, or maintenance).

G24 – Solvent or product distillation or recovery (sludge, waste solvent, bottoms, from recovery/recycling of used product).

Form Code. Identifies the general physical and chemical characteristics of the hazardous waste. General form categories include mixed media/debris/devices; inorganic liquids; organic liquids; inorganic solids; organic solids; inorganic sludges; and organic sludges.

Examples of specific codes listed under these general categories:

W101 – Very dilute aqueous waste containing more than 99% water.

W203 – Concentrated non-halogenated solvent.

W210 – Reactive or polymerizable organic liquids and adhesives (fluid but not sludge).

W309 – Batteries, battery parts, cores, casings (lead acid or other types) W310 – Filters, solids absorbents, ion exchange resins, and spent carbon (usually from production, intermittent processes, or remediation).

W603 – Oily sludge (not contaminated muds).

Information provided by the APM will help the IHWPM in determining the proper codes.

In addition to these codes, which are determined at the point of generation, the following codes will be tracked by the IHWPM and DLA for each waste container:

Management Methods Code. Identifies the type of treatment, recovery, or disposal system (on-site or off-site) used to manage the waste. General categories include reclamation and recovery; destruction or treatment prior to disposal at another site; disposal; and transfer offsite. Examples of specific codes listed under these general categories include:

H040 – Incineration – thermal destruction other than use as a fuel (includes any preparation prior to burning).

H061 - Fuel blending prior to energy recovery at another site (waste generated either on site or received from offsite).

H020 – Solvents recovery (distillation, extraction, etc.).

H121 – Neutralization only (no other treatment).

Complete lists of the Source, Form, and Management Methods Codes are available at the IHWPM Office.

6.2 Reporting

6.2.1 Exception Reports

If the signed manifest from the designated offsite facility is not received by the IHWPM within 35 days from the date of signature of generator and first transporter, the IHWPM or designee will contact the transporter or the designated facility to determine the status of the waste. If the signed hazardous waste manifest has not been received within 45 days, the IHWPM will prepare an Exception Report for submittal to EPA 10 and IDEQ as required in 40 CFR 262.42. This report can be a handwritten note on the manifest and shall include the following:

Legible copy of the manifest for which the generator does not have confirmation of delivery.

A cover letter signed by the generator or authorized representative explaining the efforts taken to locate the hazardous waste and the results of those efforts.

6.2.2 Annual Reports

The State of Idaho requires the 366 CES/CEIE to submit an annual report from hazardous waste generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities by January 31 of each year covering hazardous waste activity over the previous calendar year. This report shall include the following:

Installation EPA identification number, name, and address.

The calendar year(s) covered by the report.

A description, EPA hazardous waste number, DOT hazardous class, and quantity of each hazardous waste shipped off-site to a TSDF (listed by TSDF EPA identification number).

The annual report also includes a description of source reduction activities and recycling activities.

6.2.3 Biennial Hazardous Waste Reports

Biennial hazardous waste reports are to be submitted to Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, 1410 North Hilton, Boise, ID 83706, and EPA by March 1 of even-numbered years, as required by 40 CFR 262.41.

7.1.1 Establishing a Waste Stream

Waste streams are wastes being generated from a given process and must be identified to ensure proper management.

Establishing a new waste stream involves two simple steps:

First, an APM collects all pertinent information regarding the new waste stream. This includes, but is not limited to waste name, generating process, generation rate, chemical constituents, SDS, and the National Stock Number (NSN) of all hazardous materials in the waste stream.

Second, the APM provides this information to the IHWPM and the CCF, who transfers the required information to a WPS and assigns a unique waste stream profile number and waste stream number to the waste stream. The CCF will use this waste profile number for tracking the year the waste stream was last characterized and determining if the waste stream is RCRA or Non-RCRA. The shop will use the waste stream number for tracking and labeling purposes. Do not alter waste stream numbers.

Note that all containers of waste either must be labeled with the name of the waste or with the words “hazardous waste”; the later term may be used if the waste is hazardous. When the waste is being accumulated and the waste characterization is not complete yet, the container must be labeled with the name of the waste (e.g., “used Calla 296 solvent”), waste stream name, pictograms, and managed as if it were a hazardous waste. The CCF will supply all labels.

7.1.2 Types of Waste Streams

There are several types of waste streams: new and recurring; existing and recurring; and non-recurring or one time. All waste streams will have an assigned waste stream number assigned by the CCF. A new, recurring waste stream is one that has not been generated by a shop before but will be generated on a recurring basis (i.e., 1/month, 1/year). An existing, recurring waste stream is one that has been established, and is being generated on a recurring basis. Non-recurring or one-time wastes are wastes that do not result from an on-going activity or process or are not anticipated to be generated on a recurring basis. Examples of non-recurring wastes are spills and Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTO).
