Section 1 ONE Introduction

1.1 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE

The United States Army is committed to proper handling of the hazardous wastes that are generated on its installations. The primary objective of this document is to provide a plan that gives personnel working with hazardous waste the essential tools for effective management while implementing waste minimization principles. The purpose of this plan is to identify and establish the requirements for the accumulation, storage, handling, and disposal of hazardous waste on Fort Belvoir from the point of generation to the point of disposal.

This plan was developed in accordance with Fort Belvoir Permit VA7213720082, Army Regulation (AR) 200-1, Environmental Protection and Enhancement; the Virginia Administrative Code (VAC); and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. In the event that any of the provisions contained in this plan are superseded or otherwise modified by changes to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) or the Virginia Administrative Code, the CFR and VAC will take precedence over this plan. Details about specific regulatory requirements are included in Section 2.2 of this plan.

This document implements the requirements of AR 200-1, Chapter 10-1 and permit VA7213720082 and provides installation personnel with specific procedures and responsibilities to manage and minimize hazardous wastes consistent with federal, state and local laws and regulations. The Hazardous Waste Management and Minimization Plan (HWMMP) serves as documentation for regulatory authorities that such a program is in place.

The HWMMP documents personnel and procedures required to ensure each step in the "cradle-to-grave" management of hazardous wastes is carried out in a consistent manner and in accordance with regulatory requirements. Procedures are either referenced or included in this HWMMP, as necessary, to provide documented hazardous waste management instructions, from the time of waste generation until it is transported offsite for reuse or disposal.

1.2 APPLICABILITY

The HWMMP is intended to be comprehensive, covering all operations involving hazardous waste, including all activities and tenants that generate or otherwise manage hazardous waste, including activities assigned to Fort Belvoir that are located at facilities outside the contiguous boundary of the main cantonment area. These facilities include the Mark Center, Humphreys Engineering Center, National Geospatial Agency, ADF East, and Rivanna

1-2

Station. The requirements of this document are applicable to all military, civilian and contract personnel at Fort Belvoir, including commanders and directors.

1.3 IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation of a comprehensive hazardous waste management program mandated by RCRA requires maximum cooperation of all activities on Fort Belvoir. It is the responsibility of the Garrison Commander to ensure compliance with all RCRA requirements for Fort Belvoir and to notify and report to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or VADEQ, as required, for all installation activities, including tenant activities. The individual installation organizations (generating activities) are accountable for conducting their activities in accordance with this plan. Each generating organization will ensure compliance with RCRA regulations at the facility.

Section 2 TWO Installation and Regulatory Overview

2.1 GENERAL

Fort Belvoir is an 8,656-acre installation located in Fairfax County, Virginia, adjacent to the Potomac River. It is situated 11 miles southwest of the City of Alexandria and 18 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. The major highway access to Fort Belvoir is U.S. Route 1, which bisects the main installation into North and South Posts. The main entrance to Fort Belvoir is on U.S. Route 1 at Belvoir Road. Fort Belvoir is bordered on the northeast by Dogue Creek, on the east by the Potomac River, on the south by Gunston Cove and Pohick Bay, and to the west and northwest by Telegraph Road with commercial and residential properties scattered throughout.

The mission of the U.S. Army Fort Belvoir is to command, control, and operate Fort Belvoir and its assigned attached units. Fort Belvoir is a U.S. Department of the Army Administrative Center in the National Capital Region. Hazardous wastes are generated primarily as the result of testing of commercial products to determine whether they meet government specifications; maintenance of Army equipment and property; medical facility operations; various research, test, development, and evaluation (RTDE) activities; and from expired or off-specification hazardous materials. These wastes are generated at numerous locations across Fort Belvoir.

2.2 REGULATORY AUTHORITY

2.2.1 Federal Regulations

RCRA is the principal Federal legislation governing the management of solid and hazardous waste. The EPA has established regulations under RCRA which govern hazardous waste generation, storage, transportation, and disposal under Title 40 of the CFR Parts 260 through 299.

Part 260 provides general guidance for the use of the regulations and sets forth provisions, which are applicable to all parts.

Part 261 identifies and lists various wastes considered by EPA to be hazardous. This part establishes the criteria by which wastes are characterized as hazardous.

Part 262 establishes standards applicable to generators of hazardous waste, including requirements for reporting and manifesting of hazardous waste

2-2 shipments.

Part 263 establishes standards for transporters of hazardous wastes including manifesting and recordkeeping.

Part 264 establishes standards for owners and operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities.

Part 265 establishes interim status standards for owners and operators of hazardous waste TSD facilities. These are the standards with which existing facilities must comply if they are to remain in operation until EPA takes final action on their permit applications.

Part 268 provides land disposal restrictions (LDR).

Part 273 provides standards for Universal Waste Management.

Part 279 provides standards for the management of used oil.

2.2.2 State Regulations

On December 18, 1984, the hazardous waste management program in the Commonwealth of Virginia received final authorization from the US EPA for the base hazardous waste program functions. On September 29, 2000, the Commonwealth of Virginia was granted final authorization from the EPA to operate its own hazardous waste management program. On June 20, 2003, the Commonwealth received approval of Program Revision II. The Commonwealth submitted an application for revised authorization for the Virginia hazardous waste management program on May 2, 2005.

Generators, transporters, and owners/operators of hazardous waste TSD facilities in Virginia are now subject to the Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Rules in lieu of the federal regulations adopted by the EPA. VADEQ has been designated the lead agency in developing and administering the hazardous waste management program in Virginia.

The Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Rules are contained in Title 9 of the Virginia Administrative Code, Agency 20, Chapter 60 (9 VAC 20-60). The Commonwealth of Virginia has essentially adopted the federal hazardous waste regulations. Some of Virginia’s requirements are more stringent than the federal requirements. Any management

2-3 requirements that are stricter than federal requirements are specified in the appropriate section of this plan.

In accordance with 9VAC20-60-325, Prohibition, all generators (including small quantity generators who are partially exempt under RCRA) are required to obtain approval before transporting, treating, or disposing hazardous waste subject to Chapter 60 of the Virginia Administrative Code. The following parts are included in Chapter 60 of the Virginia Administrative Code:

Part I - Definitions

Part III - Incorporation of Federal Regulations by Reference

Part IV - Notification of Hazardous Waste Management Activity Regulations

Part VII - Regulations Applicable to Transporters of Hazardous Waste

Part XII - Permit Application And Annual Fees

2.2.3 Army Regulations

The Army is committed to environmental stewardship in all actions as an integral part of the Army mission. Department of Defense (DOD) installations and personnel are required to comply with all federal, state, and local laws, as well as Army requirements, designed to protect human health and the environment. Pursuant to this requirement, the Department of the Army (DA) has developed AR 200-1, Environmental Protection and Enhancement, which prescribes responsibilities, policies, and procedures to preserve, protect, and restore the quality of the environment. This regulation is to be implemented in a number of areas, including hazardous waste management. The procedures in Chapter 10 of AR 200-1 incorporate all applicable regulatory requirements for hazardous waste management, and specify implementation of local procedures and responsibilities for execution of the hazardous waste management program. Chapter 10, Waste Management, further defines the policy for managing hazardous and solid wastes. Related policy guidance on solid waste may be found in AR 420-1, Army Facilities Management. Specifically, Fort Belvoir should ensure that waste accumulation, storage, or transfer facilities are designed and constructed to prevent releases to the environment.

2-4

This document includes the elements of a Hazardous Waste Management Plan required by

AR 200-1:

Chapter 10-1.d.(3) Develop and implement a hazardous waste management plan

(HWMP) or other comparable document appropriate to the size and complexity of the operation. The HWMP (or other comparable document) should include, at a minimum, written procedures for all aspects of hazardous waste management, to include the identification, storage, and transporting of HW; training of personnel; tracking manifests; and maintaining required records.

2.2.4 Fort Belvoir Policies

Regulatory Compliance

It is an installation policy that any command, activity, tenant, organization, or contractor at Fort Belvoir that generates or otherwise manages hazardous waste, is subject to and shall comply with all applicable federal, state, local, Army and installation requirements. The Directorate of Public Works, Environmental and Natural Resources Division (DPW-ENRD) is responsible for administering the Fort Belvoir HWMMP. Any person found to be violating the provisions of any of these requirements is subject to appropriate disciplinary measures. In the absence of appropriate regulatory guidelines, hazardous waste shall be managed in a manner that minimizes adverse effects to human health and the environment.

Environmental Standard Operating Procedures

Environmental standard operating procedures (ESOPs) for hazardous waste referenced in this document shall be implemented by all activities on the installation that generate hazardous waste. Current ESOPs applicable to organizations that generate hazardous waste at Fort Belvoir are included in Appendix A of this plan.

Waste Minimization

Potential hazardous wastes will be recycled and reused to the maximum extent practicable at Fort Belvoir. Hazardous wastes, which are not economically recoverable, shall be disposed in a way that will prevent or minimize pollution of the environment and in compliance with federal, state, and local hazardous waste regulations. Emphasis will be placed on source reduction and materials substitution methods. Waste minimization initiatives currently in place are described in Section 10 of this plan.

2-5

Army military, civil works activities, and tenants are required to establish procedures and responsibilities for the execution of the waste management program which emphasizes pollution prevention, chain of command, and individual responsibility to achieve compliance and minimize waste generation, treatment, and disposal through pollution prevention actions.

Fort Belvoir is currently permitted to store hazardous waste up to one year in Building 1490 located on Sharon Lane Rd. under RCRA Part B permit number VA7213720082. The permit was issued on 23 September 2004 and expires 24 September 2014. Fort Belvoir submitted a permit renewal application in April 2014. VADEQ has not reissued the permit at this time.

Until VADEQ issues a new permit, operations may continue under the existing, expired permit.

Fort Belvoir anticipates closing the existing permitted storage facility (Bldg. 1490) in the next several years. The facility will be closed in accordance with the approved closure plan.

Upon closure of the permitted storage facility (Bldg. 1490), all hazardous waste will be disposed from the installation within 90 days of generation, as indicated by the accumulation start date.

2.4 PERMIT FOR TRANSPORTATION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

Fort Belvoir was granted permission to operate as a hazardous waste transporter in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 14, Section 10.1-1426 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, and 9 VAC 20-60-450 of the Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations (VHWMR) as codified in Title 9 of the Virginia Administrative Code. The permit was issued on October 3, 2012 and is valid until October 3, 2022. The Hazardous Waste Transport ID Number is VA7213720082, and the Virginia Hazardous Waste Transporter Permit Number is VA72137200821.

Fort Belvoir has not transported any hazardous waste under the conditions of this permit in the past several years. The installation maintains this permit for use only in the event of waste being generated at a non-contiguous area of the installation that must be transported over public roads prior to being consolidated on main post for disposal.

On June 10, 2014, Fort Belvoir received a letter from VADEQ stating that this hazardous waste transporter permit will no longer be required effective July 1, 2014. As a result, the hazardous waste transporter permit issued to the above referenced transporter is only in effect

2-6 until June 30, 2014 after which no permit is required. A copy of the letter is located in Appendix B.

The legal requirement to obtain a permit for the transportation of hazardous waste was removed from the Virginia Waste Management Act during the 2014 Legislative Session. The VADEQ is in the process of amending the Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations to remove the associated requirements related to permitting of transporters. In addition, effective July 4, 2013, transporters are no longer required to submit a transporter annual report by April 1 of each year. All other applicable regulatory requirements under the Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations as well as other applicable state and Federal laws and regulations will continue to apply to hazardous waste transporters.

2.5 RCRA GENERATOR STATUS

Waste is generated as a result of many types of installation activities, including vehicle and aircraft maintenance; military training activities; fuel and hazardous material spills; medical operations; battery shops; and construction projects. Waste is generated by military, civilian, and contractor personnel working on Fort Belvoir. Appendix C contains waste generation data for waste streams at Fort Belvoir.

Fort Belvoir is a large quantity generator, generating 20 tons of hazardous waste in CY13.

Figure 2-1 shows the quantities of waste generated from CY03 through CY13. The large fluctuation in waste generation in CY10-CY13 was a result in a change in program managers. Hazardous waste was accumulated under the permit rather than being transferred off post every 90 days. The quantity of waste disposed in CY13 is more representative of normal generation rates.

2.6 EPA IDENTIFICATION (ID) NUMBER

Fort Belvoir is a large quantity generator (e.g. greater than 1000 kg per month) of hazardous waste. The Fort Belvoir EPA/State identification (ID) number for generating hazardous waste is VA7213720082. Fort Belvoir does not currently have any other EPA ID numbers in use.

However, the Fort Belvoir Residential Communities, LLC has an EPA ID number (VAR000512715) that is not being used for waste disposal at this time.

2.7 90-DAY HAZARDOUS WASTE ACCUMULATION SITES (HWAS)

Fort Belvoir has several 90-day Hazardous Waste Accumulation Sites (90-Day HWAS) (see Appendix C for the updated list). The main 90-day HWAS (Bldg. 1495) operated by DPW- ENRD is located at Building 1495 off Sharon Lane Road on main post. If operational conditions require closure of one of the 90-Day HWAS, it will be closed in accordance with 40 CFR 262.34. This section provides an exemption from the closure requirements of 40 CFR 265 subparts G and H, except for the provisions of 40 CFR 265.111, Closure Performance Standard, and 40 CFR 265.114, Disposal or Decontamination of Equipment, Structures, and Soils.

2.8 GENERAL HAZARDOUS WASTE TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

This section provides general information related to the level of training required by all personnel who manage or supervise hazardous waste activities or handle hazardous waste in the course of their employment duties. The training shall be implemented by all Fort Belvoir installation and tenant activities.

Federal and state regulations require that all personnel managing or handling hazardous waste must be trained, either through classroom instruction or on-the-job-training, to respond to emergencies, protect the environment, and properly handle and dispose hazardous wastes.

Fort Belvoir is required to maintain compliance with the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Hazardous Waste Management Regulation (Virginia Administrative Code 9 VAC 20-60 as authorized by the EPA pursuant to RCRA section 3006). The Virginia personnel training requirements are defined in 9 VAC 20-60-264 and 265. These requirements are equivalent to those of RCRA 40 CFR Sections 264 and 265. The facility’s permit requires personnel training as specified in 40 CFR 264.16. The training program shall follow the ESOP Hazardous Waste Training located in Appendix A. Fort Belvoir will maintain training documents and records as required by 40 CFR 264.16(d) and Permit Conditions II.H.2.a.xi and II.H.2.c.iii.

Facility personnel whose duties have a direct effect on hazardous waste management and/or hazardous waste accumulation, whether by direct contact with the hazardous waste or through hazardous waste management activities, must receive training. Each person managing or handling hazardous waste must receive introductory and annual update hazardous waste training corresponding with his/her responsibilities.

The introductory training must be completed within six months of the date on which the employee begins work in a position requiring such training. Employees must be immediately and continuously supervised when performing hazardous waste duties until such training is completed.

At a minimum, all supervisors and managers of hazardous waste activities will be trained in installation-sponsored courses that meet the established training requirements of this plan. It is their responsibility to ensure that personnel working for them are trained either in formal courses or in-house using on-the-job-training and "shop level" training classes to meet the regulatory requirements.

2-9

Personnel responsible for shipping hazardous waste and signing hazardous waste manifests must be trained in accordance with Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR 172, Subpart H, which requires initial and recurrent training. Only personnel within DPW-ENRD designated by the Garrison Commander are authorized to sign manifests.

Each organization will develop a program to train its hazardous waste handlers, using an appropriate combination of the following:

Permit-required hazardous waste training courses provided by Fort Belvoir

Organization level training such as shop talks, lectures, and guest lectures

Reading and discussing installation and organization level hazardous waste management plans, SOPs, and spill contingency plans

On-the-job instruction in hazardous waste management procedures from a person trained in those procedures

Performance of hazardous waste management procedures under the direct supervision of a person trained in those procedures

All instances of training must be documented using the Waste Management Job Description and Training Record (see Appendix D), and each training record must include:

Name of Employee

Job Title

Job Description

A written description of the type and amount of both introductory and continued training that will be given to each person filling a position.

Records that document that the training required has been given to, and completed by, facility personnel.

A training record must be maintained on-site for every person in the organization requiring hazardous waste training. Individual records of training are required by state and federal

2-10 regulations to be maintained for three years after an employee leaves employment at the organization. Training records may be transferred with an employee if the employee is transferred to another job at the facility. Each organization is responsible for maintaining training records for employees working within their facilities.
