We assume a roll off dumpster would be required for solid disposal following rubber removal. Are there any additional tests the base would require beyond those normally required by Waste Management?
The Bi-Product from Removal of Rubber from the airfield surface is generally in liquid form.
Is there a specific landfill where the base would require the liquid and solid waste to be disposed of?
