8.0 PACKAGING

This section describes selecting, reusing, filling, and managing hazardous materials/regulated waste containers.

8.1 SELECTING A SUITABLE CONTAINER

A variety of containers, from 1-gallon to 110-gallon overpack drums, boxes, plastic totes, and bags, may be used to package hazardous materials/regulated waste.

Choice of container depends on the:

Type of waste material Quantity of waste

For storing hazardous materials/regulated waste, containers must be:

a. In good condition. The container must not be leaking, rusted (i.e., more than minor surface rust), corroded, dented more than 2 inches, or have non-working filler caps/bungs and/or other sealing devices, any bulges, grooves (other than removed metal), dents in seams/corrugations, or be deteriorated in any other way. If a container leaks or is not in good condition, the contents must be transferred to another container that meets all standards, or be placed in an overpack. Any overpack must be filled with absorbent capable of soaking up liquid, as a precaution against leaks within the overpack.

b. Made of a compatible material. The container must be made of a material that will not react or deteriorate when in contact with the material or waste. For example, acids, such as battery acid, cannot be placed in a steel drum because acid will corrode the drum and cause it to leak.

c. Securely closed. All containers used to store hazardous materials/regulated waste (except trash) must have a cover or lid and must close and seal tightly enough to prevent spills, including release of fumes. Storing wastes in open buckets is not allowed.

Containers must be tightly closed (more than finger tight) after every use. Special funnels that are designed not to leak if the container is overturned, and not to allow fumes to escape, are required if the funnel remains attached to the waste container. Open-head containers must not be used for any liquids, unless pre-approved by PWE.

d. In compliance with DOT requirements. All containers used to store hazardous materials or regulated waste on post must meet DOT-specified packaging requirements (Performance-Oriented Packaging). If a package has the symbol shown below on it, it is a DOT-approved package.

United States Army, Alaska, Pamphlet 200-1 - FINAL Page 2

Appendix C – Page C2 u Followed by a series of numbers or letters n

If in doubt about the suitability of any hazardous materials or regulated waste container, call

PWE.

Drums that are 85-gallons or larger are overpack containers for leaking drums, and are not for general use.

8.2 REUSING CONTAINERS

Empty containers can be reused for storing waste, provided the material remaining in the container:

a. Is compatible with the new waste material. For example, used oil can be placed in a drum previously used for diesel fuel. However, it cannot be placed in a drum that previously contained sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid (see Section 7 for information on chemical compatabilities).

b. Will not contaminate the waste. For example, solvents will contaminate used oil such that it cannot be burned for energy recovery.

Disposal of empty containers is discussed in Section 5.

8.3 FILLING CONTAINERS

The key steps in filling containers are:

a. Follow proper personal safety measures. Always use proper PPE and safety equipment. This information is provided in the site-specific SOPs and MSDSs.

b. Do not overfill containers. Allow sufficient headspace for expansion of contents.

Generally, a container is considered full when it is 97% filled (e.g., 3 to 4 inches from the top of a 55-gallon drum; 1 to 2 inches from the top of a 5-gallon container; 1-inch from the top of a 1-gallon can). The maximum allowable weight for an open-top drum is 400 kilograms (800 pounds).

c. Avoid spills. When filling containers with liquids, be careful to avoid spills. Place absorbent materials around or under a container prior to filling. Use funnels to transfer liquids. Watch the liquid level in the container carefully and do not leave containers unattended when filling (i.e., do not start a transfer pump and then leave the area).

d. Clean up any spills immediately. If spillage occurs, the spilled material must be cleaned up immediately and packaged for disposal (see Section 16 for spill information).

Appendix C – Page C3

8.4 MANAGING CONTAINERS

All containers must be immediately marked and labeled (see Section 10) and placed in an approved storage area (see Section 9), where they must remain until pick-up for disposal.

10.0 LABELING AND MARKING

Hazardous materials and regulated waste must be properly labeled and correctly marked at all times. This is necessary so that everyone who works with these materials is aware of hazards and the need for managing hazardous materials and regulated waste in a safe manner to prevent harm to people or damage to property or the environment.

In this section, the following definitions apply:

Labeling: Refers to the addition of prepared, printed, usually self-adhesive, tags, stickers, placards, or tickets to containers or packages. Includes all such hazard class or descriptive labels required by DOT (49 CFR 171-180) and EPA (40 CFR 260-299) regulations and others such as "bar code labels," etc.

Marking: Refers to the addition of descriptive names, document/requisition numbers, contract line item numbers, gross/net weight numbers, hazardous waste generator unit/activity contact names and phone numbers, descriptive remarks, special instructions, addresses, building number, unit name/number, and similar types of information usually applied by hand using paint, indelible markers, stencils, and so forth. Marking is usually performed onsite by the responsible unit hazardous waste contact persons.

10.1 LABELING AND MARKING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN USE

All manufacturers’ labeling must be kept on hazardous materials. Small amounts of hazardous materials transferred to another container must be marked with the product name and hazard identifiers ("flammable," "corrosive," etc., as appropriate).

10.2 LABELING AND MARKING REGULATED WASTES IN STORAGE AND FOR TURN-

IN

Each waste in temporary storage will fall into one of the following categories:

Hazardous waste Hazardous waste pending analytical results Non-hazardous waste for energy recovery or recycling Universal waste Non-hazardous waste

United States Army, Alaska, Pamphlet 200-1 - FINAL Page 4

Appendix C – Page C4

Section 5 provides a list of common wastes and classifies each one according to one of these categories: Hazardous Waste, Non-Hazardous Waste for Energy Recovery, Universal Waste, or Non-Hazardous Waste.

In rare instances, a container of unknown, unlabeled, unmarked, and unwanted material (see Section 5.45) must be characterized and disposed. Contact PWE to arrange proper waste characterization. Prior to receiving test results, this waste falls into the category “Hazardous Waste Pending Analytical Results.”

Figure 10-1 illustrates container labeling and marking requirements. Regulated waste must have:

One of the following completed labels:

HAZARDOUS WASTE

HAZARDOUS WASTE PENDING ANALYTICAL RESULTS

NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE FOR ENERGY RECOVERY OR RECYCLING

UNIVERSAL WASTE

NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE

DOT flammable label (Figure 10-2), if it is a flammable liquid Bar code Package orientation label (Figure 10-3) (i.e., arrows showing “up” direction) Appropriate container markings as specified in Figure 10-1 or in unit SOP.

All information shown on Figure 10-1 must be completed as soon as one drop of waste is added to the container. There is only one exception: the start date on a container in an SAA is completed when the last drop of waste is added to the container, or when the container is prepared for transport out of the SAA.
