DEFINITIONS & ACRONYMS

DEFINITIONS

1. Biodegradation: Process by which wastes are effectively degraded by microbial action. The concentrations in a representative compound, or indicator parameter, must be substantially reduced in concentration so as to eliminate the hazardous properties of the wastes.

2. Conforming Storage Facility (CSF): HWSA (Hazardous Waste Storage Area) where hazardous waste is stored after generation at a HWAP (Hazardous Waste Accumulation Point). Hazardous waste is stored at a CSF prior to shipment to a TSDR (Treatment Storage Disposal Recycling) facility.

3. Contracting Officer (CO): A Contracting Officer is a person duly appointed with the authority to enter into, change, and administer contracts on behalf of the U.S. Government.

4. Contracting Officer's Representative (COR): A person appointed by the Contracting Officer, in accordance with subsection 201.602-2 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement

(DFARS), as CORs to perform specific technical or administrative functions. The CORs shall be the contractor’s day-to-day primary points of contact for the duration of this contract.

5. Controlled Substances: Narcotics, depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, or pharmaceuticals regulated under U.S. law or controlled by international treaty, convention, or protocol.

6. Corrosives: Wastes with a pH of less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to12.5.

7. Delivery Order: An order for supplies placed against an established contract or with Government sources.

8. Disposal: The discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of any waste into, or on, land or water. Proper disposal effectively mitigates hazards to human health and the environment.

9. DLA Disposition Services site: Provides local support to hazardous waste (HW) generators.

Formerly a DRMO site.

10. DLA Disposition Services Europe and Africa: Provides regional environmental support to

DLA Disposition Service sites. Formerly DRMS DSD-E.

11. Environmental Office: The office responsible for all environmental programs on a U.S.

military reservation.

12. Hazardous Materials (HM): Any material that is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety and property that is regulated in accordance with international environmental standards or regulations or EU Directives.

13. Hazardous/Special Waste (HW): Wastes which meet one or more hazardous characteristic, such as ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic, or are defined as special or hazardous waste in accordance with international environmental standards or EU Directives.

14. Hazardous Waste Accumulation Point (HWAP): Areas at or near the point of hazardous waste generation where the waste is temporarily stored until removed to a Hazardous Waste Storage Area or shipped for disposal.

15. Hazardous Waste Storage Area (HWSA): Location where hazardous waste is stored after generation at a HWAP (Hazardous Waste Accumulation Point). Hazardous waste is stored at a

HWSA prior to shipment to a TSDR (Treatment Storage Disposal Recycling) facility.

16. International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code: International regulations for the shipment of dangerous goods by sea.

17. Incinerator: A device used to thermally destroy a waste.

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

19. Medical waste: Non-infectious, non-controlled, non-radioactive waste generated by medical, dental, and veterinary treatment facilities that is a hazardous or regulated waste.

20. On-Site Technician (OST): The contractor's authorized representative performing work at the installation under a contract.

21. Reactive Wastes: Reactive wastes are 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.

22. Recovery (Organics): Treatment using one or more of the following technologies: distillation;

thin film evaporation; steam stripping; carbon adsorption; critical fluid extraction; liquid-liquid extraction; precipitation /crystallization or chemical phase separation techniques, such as decantation, filtration and centrifugation when used in conjunction with one of the above techniques.

23. Recovery (Metal Wastes): Treatment using one or more of the following technologies: thermal processing; precipitation; exchange; carbon adsorption, or other techniques that yield non-hazardous levels of heavy metals in the residuals.

24. Recycling: Beneficial use, reuse, recovery, or reclamation as defined by EU regulations.

25. Shipping papers: Transport documents used to track the shipment of hazardous wastes and materials.

26. Stabilization or Fixation: Treatment that uses oxidation, reduction, or other means to render the hazardous constituents immobile to prevent their release into the environment.

27. Task Order: An order for services placed against an established contract or with Government services.

28. Treatment: Any method, technique, or process designed to change the physical, chemical, or biological character or composition of any hazardous waste. Treatment includes neutralization, energy or material resource recovery, or any process rendering a waste non-hazardous or less hazardous; safer to transport, store or dispose of; or amenable for recovery, amenable for storage, or reduced in volume.

29. Used Oil Fuel: Used oil that is burned for energy recovery is termed "used oil fuel." Used oil fuel includes any fuel produced from used oil by processing, blending or other treatment. "Used oil" means any oil or other waste petroleum, oil, or lubricant (POL) product that has been refined from crude oil, or is synthetic oil, has been used, and as a result of such use, is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities. Used oil exhibiting the characteristics of reactivity, ignitability, and corrosively is still considered used oil, unless it has been mixed with other hazardous waste.

Used oils exhibiting the characteristic of toxicity or those which are mixed with hazardous waste will be considered a hazardous waste and managed as such. Used oils burned for energy recovery cannot have a PCB content greater than or equal to 50 ppm.

30. Waste Oil: All used fluids or semi-fluid substances that consist partly or entirely of mineral oil or synthetic oil, including oil-containing residues from containers, emulsions and water-oil mixtures. Waste oil may also include impurities or additives such as PCBs, solvents, and turpentine.
