MEMORANDUM FOR: SEE DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: CJTF-101 Environmental SOP This SOP applies to all US Military Forces and operations within the Combined/Joint operations area (CJOA) and is immediately effective upon release to main base camps, forward operating bases (FOBs) and provisional reconstruction team (PRT) sites.

Environmental stewardship is a critical mission for the CJTF-101 Command. It is our responsibility to ensure that the resources of our Host Nation are respected and protected.

During combat operations, environmental considerations will always be subordinate to combat operations. However, this does not mean that preservation of the natural environment should be ignored and that good stewardship should not be practiced when possible and practicable.

This document establishes CJTF-101 CJOA environmental procedures for all forces during contingency and sustained operations. Procedures were established based on the environmental annex to the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Plan (S/REL GCTF), the Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD), and the 3rd Army/ARCENT CENTCOM SOP.

HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT:

The main document is structured to provide basic information in various environment management areas as well as direct the reader to more detailed sources of information including the Annexes.

The Annexes are structured to provide units with specific details and information that they will need in order to manage their operations in an environmentally safe manner.

Annex U provides instructions and techniques that apply to specific common military operations and how to perform these in an environmentally safe manner.

24. GENERAL. The CJTF-101 Contingency Environmental Policies are effective immediately upon release to main base camps, forward operating bases (FOB) and provisional reconstruction team (PRT) sites within the Combined/Joint operations area (CJOA). This document establishes CJTF-101 CJOA environmental procedures for all forces during contingency operations. Procedures were established based on the environmental annex to the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Plan (S/REL GCTF), the Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD), and the 3rd Army/ARCENT CENTCOM SOP. An initial environmental baseline study was completed for each major base camp. An EBS must be completed at all forward camps, Other Departmental Agencies (ODAs), and Provisional Reconstruction Teams (PRTs). Base Operating Support (BOS) engineers, subordinate Task Force engineers, or Unit Environmental Coordinators will use this data to evaluate the hazards and access the risks in the development of their installations. Additionally, this information will protect the U.S. Government from liability for environmental hazards that may have existed prior to U.S. arrival in country. This SOP and all its Annexes can be found on the CJTF82/CJ7 Environmental Website at http://22.13.46.34/C13/Environmental/default.aspx.

Units will plan for re-supply of containers, through the supply system, sufficient to sustain them for the duration of operations.

29. TRAINING.

a. CJTF-101 CJ7. CJTF-101 CJ7 will plan and provide any applicable environmental training to the best of its ability in a theater-wide situation. During combat conditions, limiting factors may include budget constraints, threat-level, transportation, or ineffective communication. The objective of the CJTF-101 CJ7 training program is to provide applicable environmental training to all environmental officers and personnel assigned to duties involving actual or potential exposure to hazardous material or hazardous waste. Trainees could include, but are not limited to, first line supervisors and personnel involved in spill response, maintenance, fuel, motor pool, supply, transportation, water production, etc.

b. DPW Environmental Management Officer. The DPW EMO shall coordinate with the CJ7 Environmental Engineer to provide training where feasible. The DPW shall maintain first line and introductory training tools such as the You Spill You Dig field handbooks and training videos, copies of the “Environmental Coordinator Officer” training CD, and the Air Force Handbook 10-222, Volume 4, Environmental Guide For Contingency Operations.

c. Deploying Units. All personnel who regularly handle manage, or transport hazardous material or hazardous waste must be properly trained prior to assuming these duties. Deploying units should provide and document environmental training to appropriate personnel prior to the appointment of those duties. Units should maintain their documented training files for at least three years after personnel depart the unit.

d. Training for personnel whose duties include hazardous substance and waste management, usage, handling, and spill response should address the following areas:

(1) Spill response/emergency procedures (response to fire/explosion/spills; use of communication/alarm systems; personnel and equipment decontamination)

(2) Drum/container handling and storage with secondary containment

(3) Proper use of hazardous material/waste handling and response equipment

(4) Proper use of personnel protective equipment (PPE)

(5) Safety and health hazards

(6) Hazard communications

(7) Worker exposure and exposure management

(8) Recordkeeping

(9) Storage, packaging, and labeling requirements

(10) Transportation Requirements

e. The following are suggested training courses:

(1) EPA/OSHA-approved 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations (HAZWOPER) course is the preferred training for personnel with the potential of being exposed to hazardous material or hazardous waste. This should be accomplished prior to deployment. Upon completion of the training, newly trained personnel should have a minimum of three (3) days of supervised experience from a qualified hazardous material/hazardous waste manager. Annual refresher training (8 hours) is required to maintain certification.

(2) EPA/OSHA-approved 24-hour HAZWOPER Technician Level Course is required for any personnel assigned to a Hazardous Material/ Hazardous Waste Spill Response Team and must be trained prior to assuming their duties.

(3) Environmental Compliance Officer’s (ECO) Course is designed by the U.S. Army Engineer School’s Directorate of Environmental Integration at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. This introductory course on environmental requirements provides some basic knowledge until the 40-hour OSHA course can be taken by the individual. This course does not replace the 40 hour OSHA course. A copy of this course is available at http://atiam.train.army.mil/portal/atia/adlsc/view/public/303317-1/CM/052-E-0036/052-E-0036.HTM.

(4) You Spill You Dig! and You Spill You Dig II field handbooks, flashcards and training videos are tools that were developed to provide soldiers with a guide of field expedient techniques that will aid them in preventing spills, responding to spills, and protecting the environment when handling the most common types of hazardous materials used by deployed units. The training video provides visual examples and scenarios that reinforce the information provided in the handbook. The video is to be used a tool to provide basic first line techniques for managing and hazardous materials and wastes. The You Spill You Dig tools do not replace the 40 hour OSHA course. An Electronic PDF version of the handbooks and flashcards can be obtained from the CJTF82 environmental website. Hard copies may be ordered or obtained via the CJTF82/CJ7 Environmental Engineer or the DPW EMO at major base camps.

(5) The Air Force Handbook 10-222, Volume 4, “Environmental Guide For Contingency Operations is an Air Force handbook that provides complete environmental guidance for Environmental personnel in contingency operations. This handbook does not replace receipt of the 40-hour OSHA course but is to be used as a first line guidance tool for addressing environmental issues.

30. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

a. Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS). An EBS will be completed by the Base Engineer or Environmental Coordinator for every area occupied by the U.S. Government for longer than thirty (30) days. The EBS will be completed no later than 30 days after US Forces occupy the location. The EBS will be forwarded to the CJTF82 Environmental Engineer at Major Base Camps and within 60 Days at Forward Operating Base camps (FOBs). The EBS includes a comprehensive review of all areas or facilities scheduled for use by CJOA Forces. The EBS will document existing environmental conditions at new location(s) to include altitude, climate, wildlife, vegetation, cultural resources, hazardous waste storage areas, POL storage, waste disposal areas as well as identify any potential hazards or environmental risks associated with the site (e.g. unsafe structures, PCB contamination, radiological hazards, suspected asbestos hazards, or other health, safety, and environmental concerns. The EBS provides Base Camp Commanders the information they need to avoid or reduce exposure risks during occupation. Ideally, the EBS should be conducted as part of pre-deployment site surveys so that the results can be used by the C3/G3 to determine proper placement or stationing of units. .

(1) This basic EBS requires no specific equipment. Only a digital camera, GPS receiver, and careful observation skills are required. FOBs and Base Camps will use the Complete EBS Format found in Annex D.

(2) Base Camp Commanders may also request Preventive Medicine, Occupational Health, and Environmental Assessments be conducted in conjunction with the EBS requirements. Requests for these Assessments will be forwarded to the CJOA Surgeon’s Office and coordinated with the CJ7 Environmental Engineer.

b. Environmental Conditions Report (ECR). The ECR is a report that provides a quick environmental snapshot. It can be used to provide a quick assessment of newly occupied areas or to document changes to an existing EBS. It should also be used annually to document the condition of the property over time. It can be used to identify environmental hazards that might pose an immediate threat to personnel health and safety. When performed before an EBS, in an area that will be occupied for more than 30 days, it is not intended to take the place of an EBS. Instead, it should initially be used to identify critical hazards. This information should later be rolled into a follow on EBS. Any ECR that identifies a critical environmental issue must be forwarded to the CJTF-101 CJ7 within 3 days of completion. The worksheet for completing an ECR can be found in Annex E.

(1) If a unit uses an ECR to document changes to an EBS, it should reference the original EBS. If a unit uses an ECR to provide a quick environmental assessment of a newly occupied area, it must be followed by a complete EBS if occupation is planned for more than 30 days.

(2) An annual ECR should be written to provide documentation of the property condition over time.

(3) All forward camps, including Firebases, PRTs and ODAs, occupied by U.S. personnel for more than 30 days may opt to complete an ECR followed by an EBS. The ECR will be completed no later than 30 days after US Forces occupy the location and will be forwarded to the CJTF-101 CJ7 Environmental Engineer. The EBS will be completed no later than 60 days after US Forces occupy the location and will be forwarded to the CJTF-101 CJ7 Environmental Engineer. If an ECR has not been completed within the initial 30 day period, then just the EBS shall prepared within the 60 day timeline.

c. Spill Report. The Spill Report is an “on-the-spot” report used to report and document any environmental incidents (e.g. spills, contamination, violations, etc.). Spill reporting requirements are applicable to all spill incidents anywhere within the CJOA including base camps, roads, tactical locations, bed-down sites, and temporarily occupied facilities. Units must follow the spill reporting procedures found in Section 11 of this SOP.

d. Environmental Site Closure Survey (ESCS). When a CJOA site or facility is scheduled for closure or turn-over, the departing unit must ensure that all environmental issues are resolved to the best of the Commander’s ability before departure. The Environment Closure Survey is a mandatory part of the site closure/turnover process and must be properly completed before the unit is released by the CJTF-101 CJ3. Site Closure must be done in accordance with Annex F.

e. Environmental Reviews (ERs). Major projects at Major Base Camps shall have an Environmental Review performed during the planning stages of the project. The ER shall provide an evaluation of significant impacts of the project on the surrounding environment as well as identify mitigation measures for those impacts that would significantly affect the environment or nearby local population. Information on performing ERs can be obtained from the CJ7 Environmental Engineer

f. Environmental Program Assessments. Compliance with environmental requirements shall be monitored on all levels. Unit level activities shall inspect their own facilities to ensure proper storage and management of hazardous materials and wastes. Major Base camps shall perform environmental compliance checks using the EQCC checklist found in Annex V. Internal assessments of environmental facilities and programs shall be conducted at least quarterly. Assessment may be performed on a more frequent basis as determined by the unit environmental coordinator or EMO in order to track overall progress toward environmental compliance or to monitor specific issues. Assessment reports shall be kept on file with the unit environmental Coordinator or EMO.

31. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL (HM) MANAGEMENT.

a. Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP). At Major Base Camps in the CJOA, the responsible BOS engineer in conjunction with the DPW EMO shall develop, maintain, and implement a Hazardous Material Management Plan (HMMP) for the base.

The plan should also describe participation in HM minimization programs such as chemical substitution initiatives, minimizing stock levels, and removing historically unused chemicals from the inventory.

b. Hazardous Materials Inventory Listing. At Major Base Camps, BOS Engineers in charge of spill response will maintain a master listing of all storage locations for hazardous material and an inventory of all hazardous materials contained therein. Unit Environmental Coordinators shall provide HM inventory listings to the DPW for inclusion in the BOS master list. The master list shall also be provided to and maintained at the DPW office.

c. Hazardous Materials Facility and Storage Area management. All forward camps, base camps, and units will manage hazardous materials as follows:

(1) Hazardous Materials shall be properly segregated and labeled (e.g., oils, solvents, and chemical compounds) to ensure proper packaging for handling. Hazardous materials will be segregated from non-hazardous materials and separated from incompatible hazardous materials. The You Spill You Dig and figures J-1a-c of this SOP provide quick reference guidelines on proper storage and segregation of Hazardous materials.

(2) Environmental Coordinators and BOS engineers will designate a storage location for these materials at each site within the base boundary. These locations will be known as a Hazardous Material Storage Areas (HMSA). The HMSA will keep the materials from being exposed to rain, snow, strong winds, or the direct sunlight. Secondary containment shall be provided as required in paragraph C6.3.4.2 of the OEBGD. If possible, the Environmental Coordinator should choose a HMSA with a concrete or asphalt floor when possible.

(3) Each work location on the camp will maintain a file of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each hazardous material procured, stored or used at the work location. MSDSs for all types of hazardous materials can be found at www.msds.com or any number of sites on the internet. All MSDS will be in English or in the host nation’s native language where applicable.

(4) All handlers of HM will be trained in general HM handling practices, spill response, reading and understanding the MSDS for the products they will be using, and physically demonstrating how to protect themselves by selecting the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) listed on the MSDS for the materials they will be handling.

They are required to follow all disposal procedures outlined in their Statement of Work. Phone numbers for the Major Base Camp HWSAs can be obtained from the applicable Main Base Camp FET/DPW or the CJTF-101 Environmental Engineer at DSN 318-231-2940.

h. Closing the HWSAs and HWAPs. The following must be adhered to when closing HWSAs and HWAP. If closure is being done as part of overall site closure or redeployment than the procedures in Annex F to this SOP shall also be followed.

(1) HWSAs should have a list by waste streams, drum types and drum size for all of the hazardous waste currently in the HWSA, including an estimate of waste to be generated within prior to closure. Provide the list with the requested closure date to CJTF-101 CJ7 Environmental Engineer. The CJ7 will forward the data to DRMS-I, so that shipping authorization can be coordinated.

(2) HWAPs shall adhere to procedures for waste turn in to HWSAs. However, coordination should be done at least 45 days in advance with the servicing HWSA. Forms should include the projected closure date and shipment date to the HWSA.

(3) Notify all U.S. Forces of the last day to turn-in hazardous waste to the HWSA. The installation commander must ensure that all waste has been collected and prepared for shipment prior to pick-up by DRMS-I.

33. SPILL PREVENTION, CONTROL AND COUNTERMEASURES (SPCC).

a. Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan. At Major Base Camps in the CJOA the responsible BOS engineer in conjunction the DPW EMO will develop, maintain, and implement a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan IAW standards in Chapter 18 of the OEBGD and Annex N of this SOP. The plan shall be submitted to the CJTF-101 Environmental Engineer. An example of an SPCC plan can be found at Annex M. At a minimum the plan shall include the following Sections as outlined in Annex N to this SOP:

(1) A Spill Prevention Section. At a minimum, this section shall include the following:

(2) A Spill Control Section. This section shall include specific responsibilities of spill clean up resources, immediate response actions, communications methods that will be used, a list of the response teams, spill notification procedures, surveillance procedures, available external spill response resources, procedures for proper disposal of HM/HW, a list of steps to be accomplished prior to resumption of site operations after a spill.

(3) Reporting Section. This section shall include the procedures to implement all reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirements, threshold reporting requirements, and the procedures for the notification of all authorities and the public if a spill cannot be contained.

b. Spill Prevention, Control, and countermeasures SOPs. All other camps shall develop, maintain, and implement spill control and countermeasure SOPs in order to be prepared in case of a spill.

c. Steps to Prevent and Control Spills. All camps in the CJOA will take the following steps to prevent and control spills.

(1) Environmental Coordinators will designate spill response teams. These teams will be trained to identify and respond to spills in accordance with the “You Spill, You Dig” series of handbooks issued by either US CENTCOM or IMA-Europe Region. An Electronic PDF version of the handbooks and flashcards can be obtained from the CJTF-101 environmental website. Hard copies may be ordered or obtained via the CJTF-101 CJ7 Environmental Engineer or the DPW EMO at major base camps. Annex O also provides field techniques and procedures for responding to common spills.

(2) Environmental Coordinators will employ low cost equipment (e.g., drip pans) to catch leaking petroleum, oil, and lubricant and hazardous materials, and will ensure adequate types and quantities of containment and cleanup equipment.

(3) Spill Prevention and Response. When an accidental spill occurs, contain it and then clean it up immediately. Be prepared for accidental spills. Make sure Spill Control Plans are posted at all maintenance, storage, and supply areas. Ensure it lists all emergency telephone numbers. Section III of Annex N contains spill cleanup procedures for common hazardous material spills. Proper care and safety shall be used in response to spill response and clean up. Below are four things to remember when a spill occurs:

(a) PROTECT YOURSELF: Know where protective equipment is kept, whether it has been properly cleaned and maintained, and how to use it.

(b) STOP THE FLOW: If possible. If the spill is out of your control, secure the area and request environmental technical support from Higher Headquarters (Phone # or Radio Info) while continuing to contain the spill.

(c) CONTAIN THE SPILL: Use the spill kits located in each area to contain and clean-up small spills. Use absorbent pads and socks to contain and clean-up small spills.

(d) REPORT THE SPILL: The company commander and unit ECO must be informed of all spills. Notify higher headquarters with details of any spill over 110 gallons and when the spill has been cleaned up.

d. Spill Notification. The Environmental Coordiantor will report all fuel spills greater than 5 gallons through their chain of command, and all other hazardous material/waste spills greater than 1 gallon to the CJTF-101 CJ7 Environmental Engineer within 48 hours of a spill using the Environmental Activity Report. In addition, the spill report shall also be forwarded to the DPW EMO at the nearest servicing Major Base Camp. Spill report formats can be found in Section II of Annex N. The Environmental Activity report is located in Annex O.

e. Spill Containment and Cleanup Materials. Units shall deploy with sufficient (e.g., quantity and type) spill containment and cleanup materials to cover potential releases of hazardous waste, hazardous materials and petroleum, oil, and lubricant during transport and during initial phases of the deployment. Depending on the quantity and usage of the Hazardous Materials, spill response and containment materials will be purchased in proportionate quantities. Units will plan for re-supply, through the supply system, of spill containment and cleanup materials sufficient to sustain them for the duration of operations. NSN numbers for common spill containment and cleanup materials can be found in Section IV of Annex N. At a minimum, spill response equipment will contain the following:

(1) 55-gallon open head drums

(2) Shovel

(3) Brooms

(4) Oil Dry (50 lbs)

(7) Rubber gloves

(8) Boots

(9) Protective Eyewear

34. SOLID WASTE (SW) MANAGEMENT.

a. Solid Waste Management and Solid Waste Management Plan. Solid waste will be managed using the method that maximizes the protection of human health and the environment under existing operational conditions. Major Base Camps shall have a Solid Waste Management Plan that describes how the camp will manage and dispose of solid waste. An example can be found in Annex G. The plan shall include disposal methods, applicable separation procedures, and procedures for separating hazardous materials and materials inappropriate for the method of disposal from solid waste streams. Management of solid wastes will be IAW applicable procedures determined by the DPW EMO and responsible BOS or Task Force Engineer, in consultation with the CJTF-101 Surgeon. Procedures will be identified for solid waste collection, hauling and deposition. SW management methods include contractor removal, composting, burning, incineration, recycling, and waste minimization.

b. Solid Waste Landfills. Land filling of solid waste will be done IAW AFPAM 10-219 V5 and the OEBGD. Units are not authorized to landfill solid waste without prior approval of CJTF-101. Hazardous waste will never be landfilled and will be disposed of as directed in Section 10. Units are required to send location, to include GPS coordinates and location identified on a map, and date requested to open the landfill to the CJTF-101 CJ7 Environmental Engineer to await permission for landfill establishment. Upon closure, locations to include GPS coordinates, map, and date opened and date closed will be sent to the CJTF-101 CJ7 Environmental Engineer within 30 days from the cessation of landfilling operations.

c. Burn pit Operations. Burn pits will be constructed downwind from the base taking into account the prevailing winds for the location. Hazardous waste will never be burned and will be disposed of as directed above. Noncombustible materials such as metal will be separated from the solid waste and will be appropriately landfilled. Solid waste will be burned completely to ash. When burn pits are not actively burning, they will be covered with 4-6 inches of soil to prevent exposure to vectors. Locations to include GPS coordinates, map, and date opened will be sent to the CJTF-101 CJ7 Environmental Engineer within 30 days from the commencement of burn pit operations. Upon closure, locations to include GPS coordinates, map, and date opened and date closed will be sent to the CJTF-101 Environmental Engineer within 30 days of the cessation of burn pit operations.

d. Incineration. Solid Waste incinerators will not be purchased without CENTCOM’s approval of the design, operation, and monitoring procedures. At a minimum, incinerators shall adhere to air emission guidelines contained in Section C.2.3.2 of the OEBGD and Annex W.

e. Composting Operations. Composting operations shall be considered where feasible to not only treat wastes in a more environmentally friendly manner but also to further pollution prevention, waste minimization and reuse programs. Composting shall be coordinated with the DPW EMO, BOS and Task Force Engineers, and the CTJTF-82 Surgeon. The recommended composting technique to ensure maximum control while mitigating potential vector problems is Covered Membrane Heap Systems.

f. Recycling and Waste Minimization Programs. Recycling and waste minimization shall be performed where feasible to reduce the volume of generated waste. The DPW EMO, BOS, and Task Force Engineers and Environmental Coordinators are responsible for evaluating recycling options within their operations and/or technical area programs. Section 14 describes feasible recycling and waste minimization programs that can be implemented at contingency base camps.

35. MEDICAL / INFECTIOUS WASTES.

a. Infectious waste will be segregated, transported and stored IAW CJTF-101 Command Surgeon approved standard operating procedures for managing regulated medical waste. Additional operating procedures can be found in chapter 8 of the OEBGD.

b. The CJTF-101 Surgeon shall approve methods of disposal (typically high temperature incineration).

c. At a minimum the following procedures for managing infectious and medical waste shall be follows:

(1) Biological waste and medial sharps general by DoD activities, organizations, and units will be incinerated in CJTF-101 Surgeon approved facilities.

(2) Regulated medical waste will be stored, handled, and shipped in appropriate containers i.e. sharps will e packaged in puncture proof container and biological waste in biohazard bags.

(3) Base commanders will appoint, in writing, an officer or NCO and an alternate who are responsible for monitoring and documenting regulated medical waste disposal for the base. At Major Base Camps, BOS engineers will be responsible for monitoring and documenting regulated medical waste disposal for the base.

(4) Animal remains are considered regulated medical waste and will be disposed of as biological waste.

36. POLLUTION PRÉVENTION AND WASTE MINIMIZATION (P2/WM).

a. Pollution Prevention/Waste Minimization Plan (P2/WMP). At Major Base Camps, the BOS Engineers in conjunction with the DPW/EMO will develop, maintain, and implement a Pollution Prevention/Waste Minimization Plan and submit the plan to the CJTF-101 Environmental Engineer. The Pollution Prevention/Waste Minimization Plan outlines procedures for pollution prevention and waste minimization. This P2/WMP provides guidance for compliance with appropriate environmental regulations and guidance documents. The P2/WMP also sets forth the mechanisms to identify needed projects to ensure compliance with appropriate environmental regulations and guidance and P2/WM initiatives. An example of a P2/WMP can be found in Annex P.

b. Waste Minimization and Pollution Prevention Techniques. At a minimum waste generators and activities shall review their operational processes to identify ways of reducing waste and prevent pollution created by the activity. Recycling is one method of reducing waste. The following recycling techniques and mechanisms are commonly used in contingency and sustained operations:

(1) Scrap Metal, Wood, Glass, and Plastic. Scrap metal, wood, and plastic may be separated from the solid waste stream and offered for local reuse or recycling. Local reuse programs shall be coordinated with DRMS-I and approved by the Base/Unit/Activity commander. All precautions must be taken to ensure that waste offered for recycling is not contaminated with hazardous substances or does not need to be turned in to supply channels through DRMO or demilitarization. Care should also be taken to ensure the open market of these materials would not present any type of Force Protection or security violation issues. All US identification markings on recycled material shall be painted over or sanded off prior to turn over.

(2) Steel and Poly Drums. All steel and POL drums shall be cleaned and triple rinsed. Drums that are in usable condition shall be recycled for reuse on site. Damaged drums may be sold as scrap metal. Those drums that cannot be reused on the base or sold as scrap shall be properly cleaned and crushed to prevent reuse by local population. All US identification markings on any drums going to local populations shall be painted over or sanded off prior to sale or disposal.

(3) Used/Waste POL and Anti-freeze. The DPW/EMO and BOS Engineer shall take steps to minimize waste via recycling used waste POL and antifreeze projects. Where feasible, used/waste oil/fuel blending shall be incorporated into the mechanical maintenance operations for on site vehicles.
