INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

ABOUT THIS PLAN

This installation-specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is based on the U.S. Air Force’s (AF) standardized Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) Plan template. This plan is not an exhaustive inventory of all solid waste (SW) requirements and practices. Where applicable, external resources, including Air Force Instructions (AFIs); AF Playbooks; federal, state, local and Final Governing Standards (FGS); and permit requirements, as applicable, are referenced.

Certain sections of this ISWM Plan begin with standardized, AF-wide “common text” language that addresses AF and Department of Defense (DoD) policy and federal requirements. This common text language is restricted from editing to ensure that it remains standard throughout all plans. The common text language is maintained and updated by the designated Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) with assistance from the Office of Collateral Responsibility (OCR), as appropriate. Immediately following the AF-wide common text sections, are Installation sections. The Installation sections contain installation-specific content to address state, local and installation-specific requirements. Installation sections are unrestricted and are maintained and updated by AF environmental Installation Support Teams (ISTs) and/or installation personnel.

This document is optimized to be accessed and viewed electronically. The eDASH website at https://cs1.eis.af.mil/sites/edash/ is the primary communication tool for AF EMPs.

1.0 OVERVIEW AND SCOPE

This ISWM Plan contains procedures for the management of SW. In lieu of federal, state or FGS requirements, AFI 32-7042, Waste Management, acts as the main driver for the ISWM Plan. The ISWM Playbook serves as supplemental guidance to this plan.

This plan addresses the management of SW. SW is defined in 40 CFR 261.2, and includes but is not limited to: wastes from aircraft originating from overseas, military munition identified as a SW in 40 CFR 266.202, industrial SW. This plan does not address the management of hazardous waste (HW) or other non-SW, including universal waste, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), asbestos, lead, regulated medical waste, radioactive waste or mixed waste.

Installation Supplement – Overview and Scope

The purpose of the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP) is to provide information for all personnel regarding proper management of solid wastes generated on Cannon Air Force Base (CAFB).

This plan specifically excludes the subcategories of solid waste that are defined as hazardous and universal wastes. Specific information pertaining to the management of hazardous wastes can be found in the CAFB Hazardous Waste Management Plan. The ISWM program at CAFB has three primary goals:

Reduce the amount of solid waste generated;

Increase the percentage of solid waste that is recycled or reused; and Close the recycling loop by purchasing products with recycled content.

OSD Goal OSD Goal OSD Goal apply)

Change processes to reduce or eliminate the production of wastes

Modifying industrial processes to eliminate or reduce excess materials is a continuous process which is encouraged on base at all levels of the command structure.

Reduce the volume of material purchased or produced

In order to reduce the volume of material purchased, generating shops are encouraged to purchase reusable materials. Additionally, shops should purchase material only “as needed.”

Reduce the toxicity of products used

Reduction of the toxicity of products is a process done through HAZMART. HAZMART is able to suggest alternative products where toxicity may be an issue.

Increase the useful lifetime of products used

Personnel are encouraged and educated to utilize products until the product can no longer perform as intended.

Materials should also be used as efficiently as possible. For example, the Industrial Recycling Center utilizes a centrifuge in order to increase the useful lifetime of absorbent rags, which have been soaked with oil.

Decrease the amount of product use

SW education discourages utilizing “one-time” use items such as plastic cups or plates.

Purchase environmentally preferable products and services

Personnel are encouraged to purchase environmentally preferable products. This can be achieved by purchasing reusable products, by buying bulk materials, or by utilizing products which produce less packaging wastes.

Add installation-specific strategies, as necessary.

7.3 Disposal and Diversion Options

The installation considers local diversion options for all waste streams. The “USAF Installation Non- Hazardous Solid Waste Disposition” table, provided as a link in the References Section, is consulted when evaluating local disposal and diversion options.

Installation Disposal and Diversion Plan

Applicability (select all that apply)

Disposal/ Diversion

Installation Plan (Describe how disposal/diversion is implemented)

☐ Composting N/A Mulching With a partnership with the City of Clovis via the MSW Contract, CAFB brings collected wood branches to be processed into mulch.

This mulch is made available to the public and may possibly be used to stabilize soils on base.

Reuse Reuse of items is encouraged base-wide for any material which still has remaining valuable life. For example, past furnishings have been used in new buildings rather than purchasing more material.

Donation The Cannon Air Force Base Exchange allows local charities to pick up excess or near-expired food in order to divert food waste.

Recycling There is extensive recycling at CAFB through the QRP. Currently, paper and cardboard are picked up throughout the base and recycled

Applicability (select all that apply)

Disposal/ Diversion

Installation Plan (Describe how disposal/diversion is implemented) via the MSW Contract. Collection containers are strategically located on CAFB.

☐ Incineration (Waste-to- Energy)

N/A

☐ Incineration N/A Disposal –

Offsite Landfill MSW is managed through the MSW Contract. The Contractor picks up MSW throughout the base on a regular schedule and transports it to the Clovis Regional Landfill. The Contractor will report quantity of MSW disposed at the landfill each quarter to the ISWPM.

Disposal – On-site Landfill

CAFB’s on-site landfill is used only for inert Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris generated by in-house construction, demolition, and management projects. Contractors at CAFB are not allowed to dispose C&D debris at the CAFB on-site landfill and must haul C&D debris off the base.

☐ Overseas refuse management

7.4 Waste Streams – Management Methods and Opportunities

Municipal Solid Waste

Waste Generation Sources MSW Generation sources include:

Base offices;

Base facilities;

Defense Commissary; and Melrose AFR.

All waste generated from on base Military Family Housing (MFH) is not included in the CAFB ISWMP because MFH waste is managed under a separate contract.

Reduction Methods Reduction methods include education and outreach with a focus on reuse in order to reduce the amount of MSW generated. Additionally, knowledge of segregation of materials that are recyclable is important to divert materials from the landfill.

Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has an MSW diversion goal of 55% in FY 2017, 60% in FY 2018 and 2019, and 65% in FY 2020.

Management Methods MSW disposal is managed through the MSW Contract. The MSW Contractor is overseen by QAE.

Transport and Disposal Methods CAFB’s contractual agreements require contractors to collect and transport non-hazardous waste generated to the Clovis Regional Landfill located approximately one mile east of the City of Clovis. The contractor is required to comply with federal, state, local, and AF requirements.

Opportunity Assessment Results Evaluate number and placement of collection containers for trash and recyclables. Proper placement of collection containers will maximize the diversion of recyclables from the waste stream.

Maximize the use of source separation for paper and other recyclable items to prevent the cross contamination problems that can occur.

Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris

Waste Generation Sources C&D Debris sources include:

Contractor managed C&D; and CAFB managed C&D.

C&D Debris include:

Wood;

Windows;

Doors;

Electrical Panels;

Asphalt Millings;

Concrete Demolition;

Packaging; and Rubble.

Reduction Methods Reduction methods include removing scrap metal and reusable furnishings for recycling or reuse before demolition of sites. Contractors and Project Managers should also minimize material quantities purchases through proper planning prior to beginning construction Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has a C&D Debris diversion goal of 60% through FY 2020.

Management Methods Each construction or demolition project is assigned a Project Manager who oversees the disposal of C&D Debris. Metrics for the quantities of C&D debris that are generated, landfilled (either on base or off base), and recycled from CAFB and MAFR projects are documented and reported to the QRP Manager.

Reported totals are tracked for the total quantity and not based on the type of C&D debris that was managed.

Transport and Disposal Methods Contractor Managed C&D: Debris from contractor managed C&D is brought to Clovis Landfill.

CAFB Managed C&D: Debris from CAFB managed C&D is brought to the CAFB C&D Landfill.

Opportunity Assessment Results Ensure that all C&D contracts require recycling of C&D debris and the reporting of metrics to the installation ISWPM. Metrics should include the quantities and types of C&D debris generated.

Paper and Cardboard

Paper and Cardboard sources include:

Product packaging (corrugated cardboard);

Newspaper;

Office Paper;

Magazines;

Glue-back Books;

Bond Paper (white or pastels only);

Computer Paper;

Packaging paper (paper used to protect packaged goods);

Envelopes;

Post-it Notes (white and pastel only);

On bases stores; and Furniture packaging.

Carbon paper, napkins, tissues, paper towels, wax coated cardboard, and pressed cardboard (i.e., shoe boxes, cereal boxes, or beverage type boxes) are not accepted or recycled at CAFB.

Reduction Methods Office personnel are encouraged to use e-mail and electronic documents in order to reduce waste paper generation. CAFB personnel are also encouraged purchase materials in bulk if it leads to a reduction in cardboard packaging.

Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has a paper diversion goal of 55% in FY 2017, 60% in FY 2018 and 2019, and 65% in FY 2020.

Management Methods

Paper clips, metal bindings, plastic document protectors and binders must be removed by the generator before introducing to recycling stream

Paper must be shredded, bagged, and free of contaminants. Paper collected at the Recycling Center is segregated, shredded, placed into Gaylord boxes and/or baled by Recycling Center Personnel.

Cardboard brought directly to the CAFB Recycling Center is baled at the Recycling Center.

Paper and Cardboard brought to the recycling bins on CAFB is managed through the MSW

Contract. Paper and Cardboard brought directly to the CAFB Recycling Center is managed by Recycling Center personnel.

Cardboard generated at the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) Base Exchange and Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) are collected by AAFES and DeCA, respectively, and then baled and transported for recycling under their own contracts.

Transport and Disposal Methods Paper collected in recycling bins on CAFB by the MSW Contractor is brought to the Contractor recycling facility and then picked up by a buyer. Cardboard collected by the MSW Contractor is delivered directly to a local recycler.

Paper and cardboard baled at the Recycling Center is picked up and transported by the buyer.

Opportunity Assessment Results Determine if collection of paper and cardboard waste is occurring where needed.

Review current educational and promotional activities to determine if more needs to be done to educate the base population. Evaluate if there is a clear understanding of what papers and cardboards are recyclable and how they are to be managed.

Plastics

Plastic sources include plastic containers with the recycling symbols:

#1;

#2;

#4; and #5.

Plastics with recycling symbols #3, #6, and #7 are not currently accepted for recycling at CAFB.

Reduction Methods CAFB personnel are encouraged to utilize reusable products including water bottles, plates, and coffee mugs rather than single-use items. In addition, CAFB SW personnel occasionally hand out reusable bags to reduce the quantity of plastic bags in the waste stream.

Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has a plastics diversion goal of 55% in FY 2017, 60% in FY 2018 and 2019, and 65% in FY 2020.

Management Methods Only Type 1 and 2 plastics are recycled at this time. Plastics should be rinsed to remove any food or beverage residue.

Plastics collected at the CAFB Recycling Center are segregated and baled by CAFB Recycling Center personnel.

Transport and Disposal Methods CAFB personnel bring their plastics to the self-serve recycling convenience centers located at strategic points on the base. Plastics are brought to the CAFB Recycling Center, segregated, and baled. A local buyer picks up the baled plastic from the CAFB Recycling Center.

Opportunity Assessment Results Continue to promote the source separation of plastic bottles and consider adding some other types of plastics to the recycling program. Consider adding the reuse or recycling of plastic bags and packing materials. Although there are limited recyclers locally there are potential options for the base to reuse or recycle them.

Wood

Wood sources include:

Tree limbs;

Crates;

Wood furniture; and Wood pallets.

Reduction Methods CAFB personnel are encouraged to utilize wood pallets as efficiently as possible to lengthen the pallet’s useful life and reuse them as long as practical.

Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has a wood diversion goal of 55% in FY 2017, 60% in FY 2018 and 2019, and 65% in FY 2020.

CAFB ISWM goals for wood include:

Create central location to manage wood sources, ideally near the CAFB Recycling Center;

Manage pallets for resale and reuse.

Purchase pallet grinder to produce mulch for on-base use.

Management Methods Waste pallets and Tree limbs are managed under the MSW Contract.

Transport and Disposal Methods Waste pallets are not currently recycled but are transported by the MSW Contractor to the Clovis Regional Landfill. Tree limbs are transported by the MSW Contractor to the Clovis Regional Landfill and are repurposed into mulch, which is made available to the public or utilized for landfill cover/stabilization.

Opportunity Assessment Results In an effort to reduce costs associated with the collection, transportation, disposal, and management of wood waste, CAFB is considering equipment options to mulch on-site and reutilize on-site wherever possible.

Metals

Waste Generation Sources Metal sources include:

Scrap metal;

Old furnishings;

Food and beverage containers;

Demolition debris;

Munitions-related metals, i.e., brass casings less than 50 caliber; and Metal items disposed of base-wide.

Reduction Methods CAFB personnel are encouraged to offer old furnishings, metal items, etc. to other facilities before disposing of them. Proper planning should also be used for C&D projects to reduce the scrap metal generated as debris.

Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has a metals diversion goal of 55% in FY 2017, 60% in FY 2018 and 2019, and 65% in FY 2020.

Management Methods Recycling Center personnel also offer recycling bins for tin or aluminum food/beverage containers for events held on base. There are also scrap metal recycling convenience centers located at strategic locations on the base. CAFB Recycling Center personnel collect tin and aluminum from the convenience centers to segregate and prepare for market.

Transport and Disposal Methods Tin and aluminum are transported for recycling by CAFB Recycling Center personnel or by an outside vendor.

Generators of large scrap metal are encouraged to contact the ISWPM for recycling disposition direction.

Opportunity Assessment Results The management of accumulated scrap metal as a mix will reduce the potential revenue generating potential from the recycling of scrap metal. Collected scrap metal should be separated by the type of metal. This will allow for the maximum return to the QRP.

Ensure that contracts for C&D projects includes the requirement for providing metrics broken down by each type of material recycled, including scrap metal.

Compostable Wastes

Compostable waste sources include:

Yard waste; and Food waste.

Reduction Methods Yard clippings are mulched back on top of the yard instead of being bagged.

The Cannon Air Force Base Exchange allows local charities to pick up excess or near-expired food in order to divert food waste.

Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has a compostable wastes diversion goal of 55% in FY 2017, 60% in FY 2018 and 2019, and 65% in FY 2020.

Management Methods The grounds maintenance contractor is responsible for mulching yard clippings back onto the yard.

Composting is not currently practiced at CAFB. Compostable wastes are managed as MSW through the MSW Contract.

Transport and Disposal Methods The MSW Contractor transports the wastes to the Clovis Regional Landfill for disposal.

Opportunity Assessment Results A program to donate food items that are still safe to consume, from other than the Base Exchange, should be considered to reduce the volume of food wastes sent to the landfill.

Liquids (Oil, Grease, Fuel, Antifreeze, etc.)

Liquid waste generation sources include:

Vehicle maintenance;

Aircraft maintenance;

Generator maintenance;

Radar maintenance;

Liquid fuels; and Absorbent pads.

Reduction Methods CAFB personnel are encouraged to purchase these materials only “as-needed.”

Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has a liquid wastes diversion goal of 55% in FY 2017, 60% in FY 2018 and 2019, and 65% in FY 2020.

Management Methods Used oils, anti-freeze, and lead acid batteries are collected and managed through Industrial Recycling Contractor under a contractual agreement.

Transport and Disposal Methods After collection and processing, used oils, anti-freeze, and lead acid batteries are marketed for recycling by the QRP Manager.

A collection point for do-it-yourself MFH occupants is located at the Auto Skill Center (Building 494).

CAFB personnel can also leave these items with automotive servicing departments/retailers (e.g.

AutoZone, Wal-Mart) for recycling.

Opportunity Assessment Results Current management of used oil and used oil filters allow for the recycling of oil-related wastes to prevent them from being improperly disposed.

Overseas Refuse (Waste From Aircraft Originating Overseas) Applicable to US Bases Only

Waste Generation Sources Overseas Refuse sources include aircraft arriving from overseas.

Reduction Methods N/A Diversion Goals and Options N/A Management Methods Military aircraft rarely arrive at CAFB from overseas flights. The 27 SOSFS acts as a customs agent and serves as the OPR to monitor and inspect arriving overseas aircraft. The 27 SOSFS collects wastes from the aircraft and then takes the waste to the 27 SOMDG for proper storage in the base infectious waste storage area.

Although 27 SOMDG does not collect the waste, Public Health is always available (24/7/365) for consultation on any concerns regarding retrograde cargo, disinfection/vector control, infection control and communicable disease control. This process is accomplished in accordance with a compliance agreement per 7 CFR §330.400 and 9 CFR §94.5 to include Title IV of the Plant Protection Act of 2000 and the Animal Health Protection Act.

Transport and Disposal Methods Final disposal of the waste is completed by contracted transportation to a permitted treatment facility.

Opportunity Assessment Results

Glass

Glass sources include:

Clear, amber, green glass containers;

Food containers;

Beverage containers (juice, soda, beer, wine, liquor).

Reduction Methods CAFB personnel are encouraged to repurpose glass materials, utilize reusable containers, and minimize the quantity of glass products purchased.

Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has a glass diversion goal of 55% in FY 2017, 60% in FY 2018 and 2019, and 65% in FY 2020.

Management Methods Mixed recyclable glass was recycled in previous years, but because of limited viable options, mixed glass is now managed as part of MSW. Mixed glass is collected from disposal containers on CAFB.

Transport and Disposal Methods The MSW Contractor transports MSW to the Clovis Landfill.

Opportunity Assessment Results With the purchase of a glass pulverizer, glass cutlets can be reutilized on base as landscape material, sandbags, de-icing material, and in construction applications.

Other Recyclable Materials

Other Recyclable Materials sources include:

Furniture;

Appliances;

Electronics;

Scrap wood; and Tires.

Reduction Methods CAFB personnel are encouraged to use materials efficiently and to the full extent of their useful life before disposing them.

Diversion Goals and Options CAFB has a diversion goal of 55% in FY 2017, 60% in FY 2018 and 2019, and 65% in FY 2020.

Management Methods DLA-DS will be utilized by base personnel for the disposition of DoD excess property. This includes items purchased with appropriated funds that are sold for their scrap value. Examples of items that are processed through DLA-DS include furniture, appliances, precious metals, scrap metals, brass, electronics, scrap wood, pallets, and tires. DLA-DS is also recognized with the State of New Mexico as a recycling facility. DLA-DS on CAFB is located in Building 215 and staffed one week each month with personnel from Holloman AFB or Kirtland AFB.

Transport and Disposal Methods DLA-DS manages the transportation, disposal, and recycling of these materials.

Opportunity Assessment Results Encourage donation programs with on base (Airman’s Attic) and local charities for the MFH residents to use. This will reduce the volume of bulk items such as appliances, furniture, or electronics that end up discarded in the trash when a resident leaves the base to move to another location.

7.5 Materials Prohibited From Waste Streams

The installation implements procedures and controls to ensure that prohibited wastes are prevented from entering the MSW, industrial waste, C&D debris, recycling, and composting waste streams. The following table lists materials that are prohibited from disposal in MSW dumpsters or roll-off containers and identifies control measures taken.

Wastes Prohibited from Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Containers

Prohibited Waste Stream Installation Control Measures

(Describe control measure) Hazardous wastes (including household hazardous waste)

Hazardous Waste (HW) generating shops or IAPs at CAFB have each waste stream characterized following the procedures outlined in the Hazardous Waste Management Plan. Generating shop personnel are instructed to coordinate with the Hazardous Waste Program Manager and the 90- Day Site personnel in order to prevent hazardous wastes from entering the MSW streams.

Newcomers are educated about SW and HW at the Newcomers Training, which discusses appropriate disposal of household HW.

Ozone depleting substances HAZMART personnel conduct product reviews before purchasing materials in order to avoid Ozone depleting substances.

Universal wastes Base personnel and Facility Managers are educated on handling Universal Wastes. Generating shops either have an accumulation point for Universal Wastes such as batteries or used lamps, or they are instructed to bring the Universal Wastes to the 90- Day Site as they are taken out of service.

Hazardous incinerator ash N/A Radioactive waste CAFB does not anticipate managing radioactive waste. Bioenvironmental Engineering is responsible for identifying appropriate disposal for radioactive waste, if necessary. Additionally, scrap metal yards can utilize scanners for radioactive wastes.

Precious metal bearing scrap Scrap metal is visually inspected by SW personnel, Recycling Center Contractors and/or the ISWPM, to prevent precious metal bearing scrap from entering the SW stream.

Sanitary sewage The sanitary sewer is managed and operated through contract. The sewage is directed to a federally owned treatment system.

Treatment plant wastewater Treatment plant wastewater is reused by being directed to water the golf course, the driving range, two softball fields, and a dog park. In addition, water is pumped directly out of the nine million gallon treated wastewater storage basin to a contractor fill stand where reclaimed wastewater is used for construction activity. In CY2016, nearly 47% of the wastewater treated at the wastewater treatment plant was diverted to a golf course pond.

Water within this pond is used to irrigate the aforementioned areas.

Installation Restoration Program (IRP) site wastes The IRP sites are managed by NMED and the Installation itself. The IRP sites are capped, thus no waste leaves the site.

Military Munition Response Program (MMRP) site wastes

CAFB has one MMRP site managed under the Restoration Program. Because it is a closed site, there is no activity generating waste.

Infectious medical wastes The Clinic generates infectious wastes that are collected and stored in an infectious waste storage area behind the Clinic.

Infectious wastes are collected and transported by a licensed contractor and transported to a permitted treatment facility. The specific procedures are covered under AFI 41-201, Managing Clinical Engineering Programs, (Para 4.20, Medical Waste).

The CAFB Clinic is inspected by NMED to ensure that infectious medical wastes are disposed of properly.

Electrical components and other e-waste Electrical components and other e-waste such as obsolete computers are sent to the DLA-DS for disposal.

Unopened containers of solvents, paints, or oil Unopened containers of solvents, paints, or oil are sent to the DLA-DS for disposal if not re-distributed via the HAZMART Pharmacy.

Items that must be demilitarized at any time during its life cycle

Items that are demilitarized at any time during their life cycles are sent to the DLA-DS for disposal.

Overseas installations only – Other materials as specified in country-specific FGS or, where no FGS exist, the Overseas Environmental Baseline Governing Document (OEBGD)

N/A

Incorporate installation-specific waste streams.

Consider state and local requirements that prohibit materials from disposal.

7.6 Landfill Management

This section is applicable to installations that operate an on-site landfill. ISWM Plan is incomplete unless State-approved Landfill Plans are included as an Appendix.

Landfill Overview and Management

Landfill Overview

The present location for the CAFB C&D debris disposal site has been in use since 1965.

The on-base site was selected because it was accessible, unused land remote from other military and civilian activities. The disposal site is located in the extreme southeast corner of the base immediately adjacent to South Aderholt Loop and the base property line.

According to New Mexico Solid Waste regulations, the site is not a public landfill.

Landfill Permit

The CAFB C&D debris disposal site is not considered a public landfill and thus is exempt from the landfill permit requirement.

Daily Plan The site is not open to contractor use and is used strictly for disposal of inert C&D debris generated by in-house operations and maintenance projects. This may include materials such as clean soils, rubble, and non-salvageable materials. Access to the site is restricted to 27 SOCES Pavements and Equipment personnel.

Long Term Plan

When a decision is made to close the CAFB C&D landfill, CAFB will implement a closure plan as required.
