Chapter Two

Hazardous Materials

Hazardous materials are defined as any material that is dangerous ifinhaled, ingested, touched or otherwise dangerous to humans or theenvironment. This would include materials used in common work areas (motorpools, shops, arms rooms, etc.) and cleaning products in a supply room. It isvery important to know what types of hazardous materials are used and storedin your facility. Every facility on Fort Bragg is required to have a hazardousmaterial inventory. Each unit is required to maintain a master inventory of allthe hazardous materials used or stored in the facility. This is made up of the

individual inventories that are required for each storage area (i.e. flammablelocker, HazMat bldg, etc.). The Hazardous Material Inventory form located inthe forms section of this guide is the only form that can be used and must besubmitted electronically to your CAT team inspector at the time of the annualinspection.

Once you have identified all hazardous materials on hand, you need toensure you have a MSDS for each material. MSDSs are available from severalsources; the manufacturer of the product, SSSC, HMCC, and the DPW ECBwebsite. Printed copies of all MSDSs must be placed where personnel in yourfacility have access to them.

Hazardous material containers must be clearly labeled, in good conditionand protected from sunlight and the weather. All hazardous materials musthave a Fort Bragg label from the SSSC HAZMART.

Secondary containment is required for all liquid hazardous materials toprevent them from coming in contact with the ground or floor. This includesvehicle batteries stored in motor pool areas and SSAs prior to use. Thesecondary containment must provide containment for 110% of the largestcontainer or 10% of the total volume, whichever is greater. Hazmat storagebuildings, plastic containment pallets, plastic haz-huts, clamshell typebuildings, fireproof lockers or a sealed room can provide secondarycontainment.

The HMCC personnel will pick up empty hazardous material containerswith SSSC HAZMART labels every two weeks. Prior to turn in, POL containersmust be triple rinsed on a wash-rack and stenciled with the words triplerinsed. POL containers must not be triple rinsed in parts washers. All other


17/85


containers must be completely empty and turned in IAW HMCC procedures. Forassistance or schedule information, please call 396-0204.

Units must purchase all paint from the HAZMART at SSSC. They stockenvironmentally preferred interior and exterior paint in the colors

authorized for use on Fort Bragg. Customers can provide the dimensions of thearea to be painted and the HAZMART will calculate the amount of paint neededto do the job.

The SSSC HAZMART will label paint cans in the same manner as otherhazardous material containers and the HMCC will pick up containers once theyare empty. Partially filled paint cans may be returned to the HAZMART forresale or disposal. DO NOT TRIPLE RINSE PAINT CANSOR ALLOW THEM TO AIR DRY!!

Hazardous Material Management

Hazardous Material Management Plan (HMMP) - The Fort BraggDirectorate of Logistics (DOL) developed the Hazardous Material ManagementPlan (HMMP) in Dec 2005. The HMMP establishes procedures for units to orderhazardous materials (Class III packaged supplies and paint) from the PopeSSSC HAZMART located in the Self Service Supply Center (SSSC) at Bldg 618 on

Pope Army Air Field (159 Booster Street). The SSSC is the single sourceof supply for those products on Fort Bragg. All hazardous materialspurchased through the Pope SSSC will have a label on each container identifying

the specific product and the unit receiving that product. The phone number forSSSC is 394-5076 and the fax number is 960-8574.

The Hazardous Material Control Center (HMCC) provides hazardousmaterial management and disposal of empty containers. HMCC conductsassistance visits at the units to validate inventory, assist with shelf lifemanagement and remove empty hazardous material containers from thefacility. The labels on those containers are counted against the productspurchased by the unit and on-hand inventories are adjusted. This allowsSSSC/HMCC to monitor the amount of hazardous materials purchased andconsumed on Fort Bragg.

NOTE: All empty or unwanted hazardous materials that arelabeled by SSSC/HMCC must be sent back to HMCC for inventorycontrol as well as disposal.

Chapter Three

Controlled MaterialsControlled materials are materials that can be re-used or recycled. These

materials must be stored properly to avoid contamination, which could result inhaving to dispose of the material as a hazardous waste. There are sixcontrolled materials routinely generated on Fort Bragg.

Used Oil- Used oil is any used/expired motor oil, transmission fluid,brake fluid, gear oil, hydraulic fluid, and mineral oil. Used oil must be collectedand stored in a closed, metal 55-gallon drum or aboveground storage tank(AST). The storage container must be clearly marked Used Oil and have

secondary containment. Do not mix with non-mil spec fuel, solvents, usedantifreeze or any other hazardous materials. Mixtures may become ahazardous waste that cannot be recycled or re-used. When the storagecontainer is approximately 75% full, call the DPW HWRO (396-2141) to schedulea pick-up of a 55 gallon drum or schedule a pump-out of an AST. If used oil isstored in an AST, it must be grounded. If the unit has an AST, they cannotuse a 55 gallon drum for used oil storage.

Used Oil Filters Used oil filters must be drained to remove excess oil.Once drained, the filters must be stored in a closed 55-gallon metal drum andlabeled Used Oil Filters. Once the drum is full, call the DPW HWRO (396-2141)to have the used oil filters picked up for recycling. The HWRO will pick up yourdrum and replace it with an empty drum. The used oil filters will be crushedand turned in as scrap metal. If your facility has an oil filter crusher, collectyour crushed filters and turn them in to the HWRO. The bucket used to collectoil under the crusher must be labeled Used Oil.

Used Antifreeze Used antifreeze must be collected in a closed plasticcontainer provided by DPW. The container must be clearly labeled as UsedAntifreeze and must have appropriate secondary containment. Do not mixwith oils, fuels, or solvents. Mixtures can become a hazardous waste thatcannot be recycled or re-used. When the container is approximately 75% full,

Per guidance from NCDENR, drip pans used to collect fluid underleaking vehicles must be labeled with the words Used Oil. Drip pans

used in the motor pool to collect other fluids (Ex: Used Antifreeze)must be specifically labeled with the contents.


19/85


call the DPW HWRO (396-2141) to schedule an appointment to have theantifreeze picked up or pumped.

Non-Mil Spec Fuel - Contaminated or unusable JP8, diesel and kerosenemust be collected in a closed metal 55-gallon drum or an above ground storage

tank. The drum or tank must be labeled as Non-Mil Spec Fuel and haveappropriate secondary containment. Do not mix with oil, antifreeze or solvents.Mixtures may become a hazardous waste that cannot be recycled or re-used.When the container is approximately 75% full, contact the DPW hazardous wasteoffice (396-2141) to schedule pumping.

Used/Dirty Rags Used/Dirty Rags must be collected in a closed metalcontainer labeled as Used Rags or Dirty Rags. Rags contaminated with POLproducts can be recycled. Used/dirty rags should be turned in to Post Laundry(396-7143) at Building 8-3201 on Macomb Street. Rags used as an absorbentor saturated with a hazardous waste must be stored and managed as a

hazardous waste and turned in through the HWRO. If a unit/facility chooses topurchase rags and not use the post laundry exchange, those rags must bestored and managed as a hazardous waste and turned in to the HWRO.

Important: Do NOT punch holes in the lid of the metal container of used rags.

Used Dry Sweep/Contaminated Soil Used dry sweep/contaminatedsoil must never be thrown in the trash can, dumpster or landfill. It must becollected in a container and labeled as Used Dry Sweep. The container musthave a lid and must be kept closed. Used dry sweep/contaminated soil must beturned in by the unit to the DPW HRWO during normal business hours (MonFri,

0730-1530).

Aboveground Storage Tanks

Fort Bragg regulation 200-3, Fort Bragg form 3003-1, and this guidemandates specific requirements for bulk storage of material. Abovegroundstorage tanks (ASTs) utilized by units for storage of used oil, fuel, or non-milspec fuel are governed under these regulations.

ECOs/ECAs must inspect their ASTs weekly and inspections must be

documented using Fort Bragg Form 3003-1. This inspection can be completedby the ECO/ECA or delegated to a trained individual. All ASTs must be clearlylabeled with the contents of the tank (Used Oil, JP-8, Diesel, Non-Mil SpecFuel, etc.). Any spills on the tank must be cleaned immediately. Carefulattention should also be given to ensure the ground underneath and around thetank remains free from spilled material. ASTs are required to have adequatesecondary containment and to be grounded. ASTs that are double-walled donot required additional secondary containment but single-walled tanks do


20/85


require additional secondary containment. If you are unsure about your AST, contactSteven Harris at 396-7432.

If an existing AST in your facility needs to be moved, prior to moving thetank, you must contact Steven Harris, the Tank Program Manager (396-7432).

Moving or installing new tanks require changes to the Fort Bragg SpillPrevention, Countermeasure, and Contingency Plan (SPCCP) and to the unit SiteSpecific Spill Prevention Plan. If repairs are needed for an AST, contact StevenHarris ([email protected]).

Note: When using a funnel to collect any liquid hazardous materialor waste, the funnel must be removed from the drum and the bungreplaced and tightened into the bung hole for the container to be aclosed container per Fort Bragg regulation 200-1. The exception to

this is if there is a self closing valve located between the funnel and thedrum as in the example below. Call your CAT Team inspector forguidance on proper use and where to obtain a self closing valve foryour drum.

Note: Per the Fort Bragg Fire Department, containers of used oil andnon-mil spec fuel CAN NOT be stored inside an occupied building.These materials must be stored either in a DPW approved AST or in aDPW approved 55 gallon metal drum. If stored in a drum, the drum

must be stored on secondary containment and have adequate overheadcover. Call your compliance inspector for assistance if you havequestions.

generation at the facility generating hazardous waste. The unit may storehazardous waste, universal waste, non-regulated waste and controlled materialsin the SAS. There must be a fire extinguisher and spill absorbent within 50 feetand the SAS must be located away from storm drains, if possible.

Regulations prohibit accumulating hazardous waste for more than one (1)year and the volume must never exceed 55-gallons of hazardous waste or one(1) quart of acutely hazardous waste at the SAS. This total does not includecontrolled materials. When a container or SAS is approaching the 55-gallonlimit, the unit has 72 hours to have the hazardous waste picked up by the DPWHWRO. Units must manage the amount of waste stored in the SAS to avoidnoncompliance with greater than 55 gallons on site for more than 72 hours. Itis the units responsibility to call the DPW HWRO (396-2141) to make anappointment for pick-up. The unit will need to provide a POC, phone number,building number and DODAAC. It is recommended that the unit schedule apickup when the container is approximately 75% full to ensure the limit is not

exceeded.

Each SAS must be inspected weekly by the ECA or designee (SASmanager) and at the end of the month by the unit ECO/ECA. Theweekly/monthly inspections must be documented on FB Form 3003 (AppendixB). Each unit is required to conduct those inspections per Fort Bragg Regulation200-2 and maintain the FB Form 3003 on file at the unit for three years.

The following are some of the common hazardous wastes found on Fort Bragg.

Used Fuel Filters Used fuel filters are designated as toxic hazardous

waste due to benzene. Once used fuel filters are removed from a vehicle theresidual fuel must be drained from them. The filters are not required to bedrained for any set length of time, just long enough to remove the excess fuel.Do NOT allow used fuel filters to drain unattended at any time. The filters mustbe stored in a DPW approved metal container and be labeled as a hazardouswaste.

Used Weapons Cleaning Materials Used weapons cleaning materialsare designated as a toxic hazardous waste due to the content of lead. Usedweapons cleaning materials include bore patches, Q-Tips and pipe cleanersused to clean weapons. These materials must be collected by the unit armorerand stored in a DPW-approved container and be labeled as a hazardous waste.

Used Solvent and Solvent Filters Many used cleaning solvents are ahazardous waste, whether or not they are used in a parts washer. Most partswashers on Fort Bragg are serviced by Safety Kleen or the Fort Bragg HWRO. Ifthe unit services its own parts washers, the used solvent and any used solvent-


23/85


filters must be stored separately in a metal container and managed as ahazardous waste.

Used Absorbents Used absorbents include paper towels, spill pads andbooms, and rags that are used to clean up spills of fuel (MOGAS or JP8), oil

based paints, or other hazardous waste. Once contaminated, these absorbentsmust be stored in a closed, sealed DPW approved metal container and bemanaged as a hazardous waste. NOTE: Absorbents used to clean spills ofregular POL products must be kept in a separate container and be labeled asUsed Absorbents.

Photo-processing Chemicals Photographic waste solutions aremanaged as a hazardous waste since most are highly corrosive. They must bestored in a DPW approved plastic container and be managed as a hazardouswaste.

Contaminated MOGAS MOGAS is highly ignitable; do not mix this withany other type of fuels. Mixing of MOGAS, a hazardous waste, with other fuelsor materials only generates more hazardous waste. Contaminated MOGAS mustbe managed as a hazardous waste and stored in a grounded, DPW approved,metal container. Per the Fort Bragg Fire Department, MOGAS (new orcontaminated) cannot be stored inside an inhabited building due to the dangerof fire. This is the only exception to the at or near the point of generationrule for hazardous waste storage.

Flameless Rations Heaters (FRH) - Inactivated FRHs discarded in bulk area hazardous waste due to the potential to ignite other materials upon becoming

wet. They must be turned in as a hazardous waste to the HWRO or turned in toDRMO for re-use. Individual FRHs are not a hazardous waste and can bedisposed of in the trash.

Enamel Paint, CARC Paint and Paint Thinners If possible, completelyempty paint cans during painting to eliminate waste. Unusable enamel andCARC paint or leftover paint thinner must be disposed of through the HWRO asa hazardous waste.

Flammable Adhesives Adhesives, including two part mixtures, that arechemically cured or air cured prior to use are hazardous wastes. Theseadhesives are hazardous due to their flashpoint and/or their metallicconstituents. The following items must be stored as a hazardous waste in anapproved metal container: cans or tubes with non-usable adhesive, mixing cupswith adhesive residue, rags with adhesive residue, and saturated or heavilycontaminated gloves and mixing sticks.


24/85


Expired Hazardous Materials Expired hazardous materials that cannothave their shelf life extended may be a hazardous waste. If the material can nolonger be used for its intended purpose and cannot be recycled, it must beturned in as a hazardous waste. If the material can be recycled (ex: outdatedmotor oil), it must be stored in the proper container until it can be turned in.

Used Blast Media Used sand blast media contaminated with metal andpaint particles must be stored in a metal drum and managed as a hazardouswaste.

PPE Contaminated With Blast Media Contaminated blast media PPEmust be stored in a metal drum and managed as a hazardous waste.

NBC Items Some NBC items need to be turned in as a hazardous wastewhen they can no longer be used for their intended purpose. You do not needto set up an SAS in your NBC room, but when you dispose of these items, they

must be turned in to the HWRO.

The ECOs/ECAs must turn the following items in to the HWRO:

Filters (C2 canisters, M40, M17, M51) M18A2 chemical agent detector kits M72A2 chemical agent ID kits, Simulants M256 chemical agent detector kits M229 chemical agent alarm refill kit Parts A,B,C,D M58 decontamination kit DS2 decon solution

If you have questions about how to manage any other NBC items call 396-2141.


25/85


Universal Waste

Universal waste consists of materials that are not regulated as stringentlyas a hazardous waste, but are still governed by rules of proper storage anddisposal. Universal wastes must be stored in a closed container and clearly

labeled as Universal Waste with an accumulation start date. Labeling can bedone by using the Fort Bragg universal waste stickers provided by the DPWHWRO or by writing the required information on the container. The universalwaste storage container must be closed and sealed except when wastes arebeing added. Universal waste may be stored on site for no longer than six (6)months, although there is no limit to the amount of universal waste stored onsite.

Universal waste must also be inspected weekly/monthly using FB form3003 IAW with Fort Bragg Regulation 200-2. Contact the HWRO at 396-2141 toschedule a turn-in of the universal waste.

The two types of universal wastes commonly found on Fort Bragg arenon-alkaline batteries and lamps containing mercury (LCMs). Used alkalinebatteries (i.e. household batteries, D cell, AA, etc.) are not managed asuniversal waste and can be thrown away with household trash. Bulk alkalinebatteries and all lithium batteries must be turned in to the Hazardous WasteOffice. Be aware that some household batteries are Lithium and notalkaline.

Non-Alkaline Batteries - Batteries considered to be universal waste are

nickel cadmium (NiCad), mercury, magnesium, nickel metal hydride and lead-acid (non-vehicle). Batteries must be segregated by type, labeled, and properlystored in a closed, sealed container. Ensure new, in-use and wastebatteries are segregated and stored separately. All battery terminals must betaped prior to turn in. A small patch of duct tape is sufficient as long as itcovers the terminals. Batteries in bulk should be turned in to DRMO at 396-8691. Call the HWRO at 396-2141 for guidance on batteries.

Lithium batteries are managed differently than the other universal wastebatteries. Previously, the procedure included the unit discharging the batteriesbefore throwing them into the trash. This was found to be potentially

dangerous, as improperly discharged batteries were responsible for startingseveral fires. Units should NOT discharge lithium batteries. For a currentcopy of the Fort Bragg policy on lithium batteries, see Chapter Eight of this

guide or the Regulations Tab at www.bragg.army.mil/envbr .aspx .


26/85


The current policy is for the unit to store the batteries in a sealablecontainer labeled Used Lithium Batteries. When you accumulate enoughbatteries, they are to be turned in to the HWRO.

The HWRO will test each battery (5590s) on a state-of-charge tester. Any

battery with a charge of more than 70% will be stored at the HWRO and given,free of charge, to any unit that requests them. All batteries with a charge ofless than 70% will be sent offsite for recycling or disposal.

Lamps Containing Mercury (LCMs) - Lamps/bulbs considered to beuniversal waste are fluorescent, high intensity discharge, neon, mercury, vapor,high-pressure sodium and metal halide. LCMs must be properly labeled andproperly stored in a closed, sealable container. They are best stored in theboxes they came in. LCMs can be turned in to the HWRO (Bldg 3-1137) withoutan appointment during normal business hours (Mon Fri, 0730-1530).

If lamps/bulbs are broken, the residue must be placed in a plastic bag,which should then be stored in a labeled and sealed cardboard box. The boxmust be turned in to the HWRO as a universal waste.

All LCMs, including the green tip LCMs that are advertised asenvironmentally friendly and the compact fluorescent lightbulbs, are to beproperly managed and turned in to the HWRO.

Thermostats Some thermostats contain mercury and must be stored asuniversal waste when no longer usable. Store waste thermostats in a closed,labeled container and turn into the DPW HWRO.

Pesticides, Herbicides, Insecticides, and Rodenticides- Units are notpermitted to apply or store pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, or rodenticideson Fort Bragg. These materials can only be applied by a person with anapplication license for federal installations. All requests for applications ofthese materials must be made by service order (396-0321). If you havequestions on the program, contact Wilfredo Rivera at 907-2160.

Did you know that Universal Waste must beinspected weekly/monthly just like Hazardous Waste?Use the Fort Bragg form 3003 to conduct inspectionson Universal Waste to remain in compliance and keepthese forms on file for three years.

Solid Waste and Recycling

Solid waste is defined as any garbage, refuse, sludge, liquid, semisolid, orcontained gaseous material resulting from industrial, commercial, mining andagricultural activity. Fort Bragg generates solid waste in three basic areas:

housing, garrison, and training areas. Environmental regulations exemptresidential waste from many of the management requirements that apply togarrison and training waste. The following sections describe these generaltypes of wastes.

Residential Waste - Residential wastes are those items generated at apersons private residence in the course of their private activities. Refusepicked up by the solid waste contractor in the Fort Bragg housing areas istransported to the installation waste transfer station. After going through thetransfer station, the waste is transported to and buried at a privately ownedmunicipal solid waste landfill. The solid waste contractor will not accept tires,lead acid batteries, or used oil in residential, motor pool or admin facilitygarbage. The contractor also operates a curbside recycling program thatcollects paper, cardboard, plastic, and aluminum items. Housing residentsmust contact their Picerne neighborhood office for more information aboutresidential solid waste management. Hazardous waste from residential areascan be turned in to their neighborhood center or the HWRO at building 3-1137on Butner Road.

Garrison Waste - All waste generated as part of the day-to-day operationof Fort Bragg is subject to state and federal regulations regarding solid and

hazardous wastes. All garrison waste placed in dumpsters is transported offthe installation for disposal after going through the installation waste transferstation. Fort Bragg incurs tremendous liability if waste is mismanaged byplacing prohibited items in dumpsters. Units/organizations that fail to complywith the Fort Bragg policies and procedures relating to solid waste will berequired to remove the prohibited items from the dumpsters.

Range Training Waste - Large receptacles for collecting waste generatedduring training activities are located in the training area and at the centralvehicle wash facility. All waste generated in the field must be segregated toremove any prohibited items from the inert waste at the point of generation and

prior to placement in the collection containers. Items such as vehicle parts,cardboard, and metal must be taken to centralized collection areas in garrison.

Important: All ammunition items (all items issued by the ASP) must be returnedto the Ammo Supply Point.

One of the biggest problems when managing solid waste is keeping theharmful items segregated from those that are inert. Segregation must occur as

Units and agencies on Fort Bragg are encouraged to utilize the RecyclingIncentives Program. Participants are reimbursed for turning in aluminumcans, plastic bottles, office paper, and cardboard. The reimbursement is

in the form of a DFMWR voucher which can be used at any DFMWRfacility. For the memorandum of instruction and to acquire recyclingcontainers please contact the recycling office at 432-6412.

Non-Regulated Waste

Non-regulated waste includes materials that are not required to be storedor managed as a hazardous waste, but possess characteristics that prohibitthem from being buried in the landfill. Call the Fort Bragg HWRO to make anappointment to have non-regulated waste picked up.

GAA Grease and Related Items GAA Grease must be stored in anapproved container, labeled as Contaminated Grease and turned in to theHWRO for disposal.

Latex Paint Latex paint that has become unusable or is not neededmust be turned in to the HWRO, unless it has a HMCC label. HMCC labeledpaint cans must be returned to the SSSC paint store.

Lead Weights Unwanted lead weights may be recycled as a scrap metal.Call DRMO at 396-8691 to make an appointment for turn in.

Aerosol Cans Aerosol cans are NOT allowed to be disposed of in thetrash. Aerosol cans with Fort Bragg labels as purchased through SSSC, will bepicked up by HMCC with the other empty hazardous material containers. Allother non-labeled aerosol cans must be collected, stored in a metal drum andlabeled Aerosol Cans for Recycle. As the drum becomes three quarters full,the unit can call the HWRO at 396-2141to schedule an appointment for pick-up.

Regulated Medical Waste

Regulated medical waste (RMW) becomes a real problem for Fort Bragg

when it is improperly disposed in dumpsters. Regulated medical waste MUSTNEVER BE THROWN AWAY IN THE REGULAR GARBAGE! It MUST be turned in toEnvironmental Compliance in the basement of Womack Army Medical Center fordisposal. Womack will provide units with the authorized RMW red bags, theRMW labeled cardboard boxes and sharps containers.


30/85


If you have questions about RMW or any material you think may be RMW,contact CPT Smith at Preventive Medicine before you dispose of it (396-5882 or643-2444, [email protected]).

Also, if your unit brought any Medical Chemical Defense Material (MCDM)

auto-injectors from overseas, they are not considered RMW. Those items needto be turned in to the appropriate agency due to accountability issues. DO NOTthrow them in the trash. Call Mr. Bobby Fletcher from Womack Army MedicalCenter at 907-6311 for turn-in guidance.

Oil/Water Separators and Wash Racks

Most facilities on Fort Bragg have an oil/water separator (OWS) connected

to the drains on their wash racks or maintenance bays. OWSs are simple devicesthat allow small amounts of oil residue to separate from wash water.

A facility OWS owners manual must be maintained on site. To obtain acopy of your facility OWS manual, contact Shannon Weston([email protected]) at 432-8470. Mrs. Weston can also providesite specific training on your OWS and provide you with a copy of the serviceschedule.

Units that have an OWS must perform a monthly inspection using a FortBragg Wash Rack / Grit Chamber/ OWS inspection form (Chapter Eight). This

inspection can be completed by the unit ECO/ECA or delegated to a trainedindividual.

It is very important that hazardous materials are not stored or drained onthe OWS or wash rack. The OWS or wash rack is not an approved secondarycontainment device; the drains on the wash rack run directly to the Waste WaterTreatment Plant. The OWS was never designed or intended to work with largeconcentrations of POL. The introduction of POL products, fuel, or any other

A complete spill plan consists of five parts: the cover sheet, a sitediagram, a hazardous materials inventory, an evacuation route map and writtenspill response procedures.

Cover Sheet - The cover sheet is a specific form provided by Fort Bragg

DPW (Chapter Eight). The top of the form is mostly self-explanatory (unit,building number, POC and phone number).

The main body of the cover sheet is a table listing Source, TypeContainment, Max Volume and Direction of Flow. Under Source, list anypossible spill sources. This includes (but is not limited to) ASTs, drums ofantifreeze/used oil, parts washers, hazardous materials storage sheds and theSAS. If there are questions as to whether or not something should be listed,please contact your DPW CAT Team representative.

Once the entire spill plan has been reviewed and approved, the DPW CAT

Team member will sign and date the cover sheet at the bottom. Once it issigned, the spill plan is good for one year as long as there are no changes madewithin the facility. The updated and signed Site Specific Spill Prevention Planmust be readily accessible by all employees.

Site Diagram - The site diagram consists of a simple diagram or mapthat reflects the layout of the facility. The diagram/map must show all spillsources listed on the cover sheet, the direction of flow if they were to spill, thelocation of spill kits and the location of storm drains. This diagram/map caneither be produced on a computer or hand-drawn, but try to keep it simple andeasy to understand.

Hazardous Materials Inventory - This is a list of all hazardous materialsstored by the unit. The unit MUST utilize Fort Bragg Form 3007-E (ChapterEight) for Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA)reporting requirements. This list must be updated annually or when significantchanges occur. It must also be submitted electronically at the time of theannual inspection to your CAT Team inspector.

Evacuation Map - This map must show the safest way out of the facilityin case of an emergency. This can be combined with the site diagram/map.

Written Spill Response Procedures - The Spill Response procedures needto cover what measures must be taken in an event of a spill. The ECO/ECAneeds to ensure that the personnel in the facility are trained on what to do ifthere is a spill. Personnel must know what types of spill response equipmentthe unit has, where it is located and how to use it.


37/85


Any size spill of fuel, solvents, oxidizers, acids, highly flammablematerials, or any spill over FIVE gallons requires immediate notification ofthe Fire Department (911or from cell phone, 432-0911) and DPW (396-2295/396-2141).

Contact the Fire Department IMMEDIATELY if anything enters storm

drains, the sewer system or any other waterway (creek, lake, pond, ditch,etc.) during a spill.

Never attempt to clean a spill without using the proper protective gear(gloves, goggles, etc.).

DPW must verify all spills over five gallons, even if cleaned up by unit. NEVER conceal spills from DPW - Failing to report spills may result in fines

from NC DENR and EPA as well as civil/criminal penalties for willfulneglect.

NOTE: A new Installation Spill Prevention, Countermeasures, and Control(SPCC) Plan has been developed for Fort Bragg. Your CAT Teamrepresentative will provide you a copy of your compound plan at the time

of your annual inspection. The plan includes a cover sheet as well as aGIS map that identifies spill sources.

SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES

In the event of a spill, individuals must take the following actions:

1. Determine what type of material has been spilled.

2. Weigh all safety factors; check MSDS to determine health and

physical hazards.

3. If it is not safe to begin spill response or if the spill too large foryou to contain:

Call the Fort Bragg Fire Department at 911(or from a cellphone, 432-0911).

Notify supervisor. Wait for assistance.

4. If safe for you to begin spill response:

Ensure your personnel have the proper personal protectiveequipment.

Contain the spill (plug leaks or set container upright). Use spill absorbent or appropriate spill pads/booms to

contain a spill. Sweep up absorbent and properly dispose of contaminated

pads/booms. Turn in contaminated absorbent/materials to the DPW

Hazardous Waste Reclamation Office (HWRO).

5. In the event of a fire:

Call 911 immediately (or from a cell phone, 432-0911). Evacuate the area. Notify supervisor. Provide a copy of hazardous material inventory to fire

fighters upon arrival. Do not attempt to put out chemical fires conventional

fire extinguishers may make the situation worse.

What is the correct spill pad for the job?

The rule of thumb is to always have plenty of spill supplies on hand. Thetrick is to make sure the spill supplies on hand are specific to the spill material.Spill pads are color coded to make them easy to identify in an emergency. For

spills of fuel or oils, use white pads. For spills involving water based hazardousmaterials such as anti-freeze, use grey pads. For spills involving corrosives, usepink pads. All used absorbent pads must be stored properly until turned in tothe HWRO at 396-2141.

Common Work Areas/Issues

There are several common work areas and issues that ECO/ECAs willmanage in their environmental programs. The CAT Team has identified trendswhere issues are often overlooked and become noncompliant. Make sure youfocus on these areas and issues if they apply to your environmental programand ensure they stay in compliance.

Arms Rooms The unit arms room must have an established SASbecause used weapons cleaning materials are a hazardous waste. The DPWHWRO provides units with five-gallon plastic buckets to store weapons cleaningwaste. The bucket remains closed when waste in not being added and it musthave a properly completed red/white Fort Bragg hazardous waste label. TheSAS should be inspected weekly and monthly with FB Form 3003.

It is recommended that the armorer be the SAS manager and beresponsible for conducting the weekly inspections. The unit ECO or ECA mustvisit the arms room at least once monthly and complete the monthly inspectionof the arms room SAS with FB Form 3003.

Because it has an SAS, the arms room should have an environmentalbinder with all the required documents and references. The unit ECO/ECAshould ensure the binder is up-to-date.

Motor Pool Shops/Aviation Hangars It is important to keep theseareas well organized and clean. Ensure that Material Safety Data Sheets

(MSDSs) are available, containers are properly labeled (Dirty Dry Sweep, CleanRags, etc.) and an ECO/ECA poster is posted. The ECO/ECA is responsible forensuring that spills are cleaned up promptly and that the area has adequatespill absorbent material available based on the amount of liquid hazardousmaterials stored at the facility.

NBC Rooms The unit NBC room should NOT have an SAS. NBC itemscan be stored in the NBC room until the unit chooses to dispose of them. Some


40/85


NBC materials need to be disposed of through the DPW HWRO. The unit mustschedule an appointment with the HWRO to have those items picked up. TheNBC room should have a hazardous material inventory and MSDSs for anyhazardous materials being stored.

Note: Once the decision has been made to dispose of used NBC equipment,contact the HWRO at 396-2141. Make reference to Chapter Four of thisguide for a list of the most common NBC items that would need to beturned in to the Hazardous Waste Office.

Parts Washers Clarus parts washers (and DPW owned Inland machines)are serviced by DPW. Call 396-2141 for solvent replacement or removal, brokenparts or leaks. Safety Kleen parts washers are serviced by Safety Kleen on aroutine service schedule. For emergency service of a Safety Kleen machine call865-5081. Parts washers that are owned by the unit are required to be servicedby the unit. Waste solvent and used solvent filters must be turned in to the

DPW-HWRO.

Important: Keep parts washer/solvent tanks closed when not in use. Anunattended, open parts washer is a violation of the Clean Air Act and couldresult in a Notice of Violation (NOV) from the EPA or NCDENR. Do not storeGovernment owned Clarus machines outside. Do NOT pour paint, anti-freeze orfuel products in the machine. Also, do NOT triple rinse POL containers in yourparts washer.

Fuel Operations The Fort Bragg Master Policy 81 addresses fueloperations within Fort Bragg motor pools. The policy restricts the amount of

fuel that can be stored in a facility to no more than 12,000 gallons. Fuel maynot be stored in blivets in the motor pools. There is no safe or allowedminimum amount!

With the exception of tracked and engineer vehicles (including fork-lifts),units may not fuel vehicles in the garrison areas other than at the designatedfuel stations. Units must use the Contractor Owned Contractor Operated(COCO) fuel stations for refueling in garrison.

Additionally, Master Policy 81 requires units to have secondarycontainment for all fuel tankers and/or fuel tanks that contain fuel. Park fueltrucks at least 25 feet apart, ground them, keep them away from storm waterdrains and have a spill kit available within 25 feet.

Unidentified Waste/Materials - If a container is discovered that containsunknown or unidentified material or waste, the unit should call the HWRO (396-2141). They will attempt to identify the materials/waste and recommend acourse of action. If needed, the HWRO will remove the container of


41/85


material/waste from site and store it at the 90-day accumulation site while it isanalyzed. Once the contents are determined, the material/waste will bedisposed of properly.

Freon Recovery - Small appliances that contain Freon (refrigerators,water coolers, window air conditions, etc) must have the Freon removed beforethe appliances can be turned in to DRMO or scrapped. DPW provides thisservice to units on Fort Bragg. Note: This does not include militaryequipment. Military equipment must go to MMD (396-2777) for Freon removal.

IMPORTANT: Units MUST NOT vent Freon to the atmosphere, which is acriminal offense. It must be recaptured IAW Federal, State, and LocalRegulations.

Units with non military equipment such as appliances that need to beserviced should call the DPW HWRO at 396-2141 to make an appointment. Atthe scheduled time, the unit will bring their (clean) appliance to the HWRO atBldg # 3-1240. A technician will remove the Freon from the appliance andprovide the customer with a Refrigeration Removal Verification Statement.When the appliance is turned in for disposal, this statement is needed to verifythat the Freon was removed.

Chapter Six

Green Purchasing

Personal and operational choices impact the waste stream, whether it is apersonnel office, housing, or a motor pool. Purchasing products that supportwaste reduction reuse or recycling commonly referred to as greenprocurement has various benefits that facilitate effective accomplishment ofthe mission and sustainability. Purchasing decisions can significantly influencethe environmental performance of the installation, since the procurementprocess heavily influences the wastes and emissions that must be managed andpaid for. When we buy a hazardous material, at the end of its life cycle it maybecome a hazardous waste that is costly to manage and dispose. When we buyproducts or design buildings that are not energy efficient, we pay higher utility

bills and contribute to regional air pollution which in turn can limit ourmission essential operations. Water-wasting products and systems drive upcosts for water purchase and wastewater treatment wasting funds that couldbe used for mission requirements. The goal of green procurement is to useenvironmentally responsible procurement practices to avoid these impacts.

The federal government encourages green purchasing practices throughExecutive Order 13101 Greening the Government through Waste Prevention,Recycling. Fort Bragg is diminishing the environmental impacts of theirwastes through a Green Procurement Program (GPP), increasing the purchase ofenvironmentally preferable products.

Fort Braggs goal is to work towards 100% Environmentally PreferredPurchases (EPP) by 2025 for all purchases including credit cards, contracts andmilitary requisition by soldiers, civil service and contract employees on theinstallation.
