Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC) - A 6 - digit code to identify units or activities. First position designates the military service or other Government agency.

Disposal - 1. The process of reutilizing, transferring, donating, selling, destroying or other ultimate disposition of personal property.

2. The utilization of those methods of treatment and/or containment technologies which effectively mitigate the hazards to human health or the environment when hazardous waste is discharged, deposited, injected, dumped, spilled, leaked or placed into the land, air or water.

Disposal Turn In Document (DTID) - The DD Form 1348 - 1/1A/2 is the standard document for turn - in of property to the Disposition Services Office.

Document Number - A 14 position alpha/numeric combination used to identity a document, normally consisting of Department of Defense Address Code, Julian date and Serial Number.

Final Treatment/Disposal/Recycling - Final disposal means disposal of a waste by a RCRA handling method specified in 40 CFR, parts 264/265, appendix 1, table 2, paragraph 3. RCRA treatments, Chemical Fixation (T21) and Encapsulation (T39), when performed on HINs 9900 through 9999 prior to landfill, are considered final processing/final disposal. The following does not constitute final treatment/disposal

(a) Declaring RCRA/state regulated hazardous waste CLINs as RCRA - exempt as a result of management practices specified in 40 CFR 266 and 279

(b) Interim treatment of the waste such that the waste still meets the definition of a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261 et. seq.(c) Dilution in the recycling process, to include blending down, of hazardous waste contaminants is prohibited.

Fuel Blending - Disposition Services acceptance of disposal services involving fuels blending is designed to encourage fuels blending as described at 40 CFR 266 and 279. It does not apply to blending for destructive incineration. Component fuels of the final blended product must adhere to regulatory guidance contained in 40 CFR Parts 266, subpart H, and 279 subpart G.

Generating Activity - An activity or organization that turns their excess personal property in to a Disposition Services Office for disposal. Activities or organizations include the Military Services, Defense Agencies, Coast Guard and authorized Federal Civil Agencies.

Hazardous Material - Any material that is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, property or the environment if improperly handled, stored, issued, transported, labeled or disposed because of its hazardous characteristics. Federal Standard 313 identifies what material requires a Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Hazardous Material Information System (HMIS) - Information system that provides an electronic repository for Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and “value added” logistical data for all hazardous material procured and used by DoD and Federal workers.

Hazardous Property - Includes Hazardous Material and Hazardous Waste.

Hazardous/Special Waste –

1. Any item that is regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), or federal or state regulation as a hazardous waste.

2. A hazardous waste is considered any discarded material that may be solid, semi - solid, liquid, or contained gases that is defined as hazardous by and/or international environmental laws and regulations and the US DoD Overseas Environmental Guidance Document for collection, transportation or disposal. Those wastes regulated by the Basel Convention on the Control of Trans - boundary Movements of Hazardous Waste and their Disposal are included in this definition.

Incidental Spill - A small spill occurring as a result of improper waste transfer from small containers to drums, small leaks in containers, minor engine leaks. The quantity shall be no more than 5 liters.

Insulation - those materials or combinations of materials which retard the flow of heat energy.

Lagging - A block material for insulating tanks, boilers and/or pipes, usually curved or tapered and can be made from any of several insulation materials.

Manifest - A shipping paper used to control and track the movement of hazardous waste.

Material Handling Equipment (MHE) - All equipment used in storage and material handling operations.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)/Safety Data Sheet (SDS) - a document that contains information on the potential hazards (health, fire, reactivity and environmental) and how to work safely with the chemical product. It contains information on the use, storage, handling and emergency procedures all related to the hazards of the material. It is intended to tell what the hazards of the product are, how to use the product safely, what to expect if the recommendations are not followed, what to do if accidents occur, how to recognize symptoms of overexposure, and what to do if such incidents occur.

On - Site Technician - The contractor's or subcontractor's authorized representative performing work at the installation under a contract.

Reactive wastes - Reactive wastes are those with compounds or mixtures that are unstable, react with water, contain cyanide, bear sulfide or are capable of generating toxic gases when exposed to acidic or basic compounds; or are readily capable of detonation, explosive decomposition or reaction at standard temperature and pressure.

Recycling - Beneficial use, reuse, reclamation or remanufacturing of products or raw materials.

Release Document - The release document, or issue document, will vary depending on the type of customer. For reutilization customers the release document is a DD Form 1348 - 1/1A/2 for transfer customers a SF 122 and for sales customers a Disposition Services Form 1427 or Disposition Services Form 1367.
