1.14.8.1 JP-8 Jet Fuel in either its liquid form or absorbed into absorbent pads, booms or speedy-dry to create a waste solid are the only waste-streams expected to be generated from the work described herein.

The flashpoint of JP-8 is 100-degrees Fahrenheit, below the EPA minimum limit of 140-degrees for hazardous waste (HW). Therefore it has the EPA Waste Code or Number D001 due to its ignitibility characteristic. The reportable quantity for ignitable waste is 100 lbs. If disposed of, the DOT shipping name for JP-8 waste (in either liquid or absorbed form) is: Fuel, Aviation, Turbine Engine (JP-8 Jet

Fuel); Hazard Class 3, UN1863, Packing Group III. Emergency Response Guide (ERG) page number is

128. 55-gallon metal drums are the most common storage/shipping containers for this type of waste.

Reconditioned drums may be used for storage, but any containers used for shipping hazardous waste off-base to a disposal facility must meet DOT performance oriented packaging specifications outlined in 49

CFR. Should any HW be generated and stored in containers, the containers must be immediately labeled with a red HW adhesive label stating the contents and the date the waste was placed in the container. A diamond-shaped flammable liquid/solid HW class label should also be placed on the container. HW containers must be kept securely closed (so nothing would escape if container was tipped on its side) unless adding or taking waste from the container. The contractor must contact 914 CEV immediately when HW containers become full and turn-in such container(s) to CEV at B-830 (HW storage facility) within three (3) working days of becoming full. CEV will arrange for the HW container to be transported and delivered to an EPA-permitted Treatment, Storage or Disposal Facility (TSDF) within 90-days from the date HW was first placed in the container.

1.14.8.2 914 MSG/CEV is considered the generator of any hazardous waste liquid, sludge, or solids resulting from this scope of work. Accumulation, disposal, transport and handling of said waste materials shall be in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal and Air Force regulations.
