1-1 Objective. The United States Air Force is committed to proper management of the hazardous wastes that are generated on their installations. The primary objective of this document is to provide a management plan that gives hazardous waste program managers the essential tools for effective management. 1-2 Effective Dates. On May 19, 1980, the EPA published the Hazardous Waste Management System rules. Subtitle C of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, directed the EPA to promulgate regulations to protect human health and the environment, from the improper management of hazardous waste. The effective date of these far-ranging regulations was November 19, 1980. RCRA was again amended in 1984. The amendments will require increased management of hazardous waste by all organizations on Fairchild Air Force Base (FAFB). The state of Washington has developed a program to implement RCRA within the State. The EPA has delegated RCRA implementation to the state. The procedures of this plan will be used to comply with Federal and State legislation and regulations. Plan revisions shall reflect changes in either level of hazardous waste management laws and regulations. Each revision to this plan will become effective immediately upon distribution unless otherwise noted herein. 1-3 Implementation. Implementation of the comprehensive hazardous waste management program mandated by RCRA requires maximum cooperation of all activities on FAFB. It is the responsibility of the wing commander to ensure compliance with all RCRA requirements for FAFB and to notify, to apply for permits, and to report to EPA or the State, as required, for all installation activities, including tenants. The individual base operational units (generators) are accountable for conducting their activities in accordance with this plan. Those base units, including supporting Defense Reutilization and Marketing Services activities and tenant activities, will provide necessary documentation to the installation commander through the Environmental Protection Committee for permit application, provide the reports required by EPA or the State, and ensure compliance with RCRA regulations and permit requirements at the facility. Section B-Scope of the Hazardous Waste Management Program 1-4. Applicability to FAFB. This plan deals with key points in implementing the complex area of hazardous waste management required by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as enforced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at Federal facilities such as FAFB. Federal facilities are not exempt from the requirements of this law. The plan covers the control and management of hazardous materials from the point they become hazardous wastes at the point of generation to the point of ultimate disposal. The scope of the plan is implementation of the EPA's philosophy of "cradle to grave" management and control of hazardous waste.

Chapter 3 Fairchild Air Force Base Hazardous Waste Stream Inventory and Locations Section A-Hazardous Waste Locations 3-1. Hazardous Waste Accumulation Map. The map on page 12 shows areas and buildings at FAFB where hazardous wastes are initially accumulated (satellite accumulation points), accumulated by the generating activities and the building where hazardous waste may be stored for longer periods of time prior to disposal (permitted storage). 3-2. Hazardous Waste Accumulation Areas: a. A satellite accumulation point is an area where waste is initially accumulated under control of the shop supervisor or the process generating the waste. The maximum volume of hazardous waste permitted at each satellite accumulation point is 55-gallons or one quart of acute hazardous waste. Once one of the limits is exceeded, the excess waste must be moved to the PPRC. Their are satellite accumulation points for hazardous waste at Fairchild Air Force Base. The 37 areas designated are identified in Table 3-1. If an additional initial accumulation point is needed, a location near the area where the waste is generated will be selected by the area accumulation site manager who will notify the Environmental Technician at 247-2313. b. A hazardous waste accumulation site is an area near the point of waste generating

R00610.402

13

activity where hazardous waste is accumulated in containers or tanks. FAFB only accumulates hazardous waste in containers. The areas designated for the accumulation of hazardous waste are identified in Table 3-1. If an additional accumulation site is needed, a location near the area where the waste is generated will be selected by the area accumulation site manager in coordination with the Environmental Technician who will ensure that the area selected and the design of the accumulation site minimizes the threat of the waste to human health or the environment. c. A permitted storage facility is an area in which a facility has been granted a Part B permit by the State of Washington to store hazardous waste. DRMO operates a hazardous waste storage facility is permitted to store hazardous waste in accordance with permit 9571924647. The permit should be referred to for specific operating procedures and restrictions. It is the policy of FAFB to ship hazardous waste off-site as expeditiously as possible. Section B-Hazardous Waste Steam Inventory 3-3. Responsibilities: a. Fairchild Air Force Base maintains a hazardous waste stream inventory for every hazardous waste stream generated on base. The Bioenvironmental Engineer (BEE) is the office of primary responsibility for the FAFB hazardous waste stream inventory. FAFB will not handle, store, transport, dispose of or inventory non- DOD owned hazardous wastes or materials except as authorized by the Wing Commander. b. FAFB will ensure that all wastes are properly characterized and classified as either hazardous or non-hazardous wastes in accordance with the FAFB Waste Analysis Plan (See Chapter 4). Hazardous wastes will be characterized on DRMS Form 1930. Information from DRMS Form 1930 will be used by the BEE to maintain and update the hazardous waste stream inventory. The accumulation site manager is responsible for quantifying all hazardous waste streams for the hazardous waste stream inventory. c. Hazardous waste generating activities will identify and separately document wastes which are classified as nonhazardous due to solid or hazardous waste exclusions, or are recycled and are not subject to the generator waste determination requirements of 40 CFR 262.11 (e.g., lead acid batteries that are being reclaimed, used oil that is burned for energy recovery, and scrap metal which is recycled). Land disposal restriction regulations published in 40 CFR 268.7 (a) (6) require a generator that is managing a land disposal restricted waste that is excluded from the definition of hazardous or solid waste or exempt from Subtitle C regulations under 40 CFR 261.2-261.6 subsequent to the point of generation, to document the

R00610.402

14

waste, its exclusion or exemption, and the disposition of the waste. The hazardous waste generating activity of an area generating an excluded, exempt, or recycled waste will place a one-time notice stating such generation, the subsequent exclusion from the definition of solid or hazardous waste or exemption from Subtitle C regulation, and the disposition of the waste in the area's waste management file. A copy of the document will be forwarded to the Environmental Manager and maintained on-site for at least five years from the date was last sent to on-site treatment, storage, or disposal.

This section will be distributed when completed. CHAPTER 5 Fairchild Air Force Base Hazardous Waste Management Procedures Specific Waste Management Procedures. Hazardous waste is temporarily stored at FAFB at facilities within the following three classifications: Satelitte accumulation points, staging and

R00610.402

18

processing area (Pollution Prevention Recycling Center (PPRC), and at the permitted storage building. Hazardous waste may only be accumulated and temporarily stored at the predesignated satellite points or the PPRC. Each type of accumulation area must comply with the associated requirements outlined below. 5-1. Permitted Storage Facility. DRMO operates a hazardous waste storage facility on FAFB. This facility is permitted to store hazardous waste in accordance with permit WA 9571924647. The permit should be referred to for specfic operating procedures and restrictions. 5-2. Accumulation Site Management. Each accumulation site must comply with the following requirements: (1) The area used for the accumulation of hazardous waste, should be one of the areas specified in Table 3-2. If an additional or new accumulation site is required, a location shall be selected in coordination with the Base Hazardous Waste Technician, Base Fire Department, Ground Safety, and Bioenvironmental Engineering. Approval must take into consideration potential environmental consequences if hazardous waste is released from the accumulation site during a spill, fire, or explosion. a. The construction of each accumulation site must include an impermeable base or containment system which is capable of preventing environmental contaminations due to container overfilling or leaks. Concrete containments shall be treated with a sealant to prevent spills from absorbing into or passing through the concrete. Containers shall not be placed on dirt, sand, gravel, or grass surfaces. b. Containers shall not be located near any floor drains that lead to sanitary or storm water sewers. c. Different types of hazardous waste must be accumulated in separate containers. Non-hazardous waste must not be mixed with hazardous waste. For example, waste oil, waste paints, and waste abrasive blasting media, etc. should each be accumulated in separate containers. d. For incomparable wastes, segregated containment must be provided, by using either separate containment areas or by means of separately diked areas. Hazardous chemical reactions which cause heat, fire, explosion, pressure, or the evolution of toxic or flammable decomposition products due to incompatible chemical reactions must be prevented. If unsure of whether a waste in the container itself, contact the Hazardous Waste Technician of the Bioenvironmental Engineer before placing waste in the container.

R00610.402

19

Incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials must not be placed in an unwashed container that previously held an incompatible waste or material. e. Hazardous wastes must not be located near anything with which they are incompatible. For example, lead-acid batteries should not be located near any aluminum structures or surfaces because contact between acid and aluminum may produce flammable hydrogen gas and could lead to a fire or explosion. Containers holding hazardous waste which is incomparable with ant other wastes or materials present should be physically separated from the other materials by means of a dike, berm, or wall. f. Containment systems should be designed and operated to prevent run-on into the container area or with enough excess capacity (beyond that needed for the waste) so any run-on will be contained. Spilled or leaked waste and accumulated precipitation must be removed from the system as soon as it is identified to prevent container corrosion or mixing with wastes. Accumulated precipitation must be checked prior to discharge to ensure that it does not contain hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents. g. In areas where unauthorized access to the accumulation site by persons not authorized to accumulate waste in the containers is possible, security must be provided by a fence or similar access control device. h. "No Smoking" signs must be placed conspicuously wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste. i. At outdoor accumulation sites, containers shall be protected from direct sunlight and precipitation by means of a roof, tarpaulin, or similar device. j. Indoor accumulation sites shall be well ventilated. Highly volatile organics in particular can present a serious health hazard when in storage. Also, in the event of a spill or leak, effective ventilation should be installed to safely direct toxic or flammable vapors and fumes out to the work area. Care must be taken to prevent exhausted air from reentering work areas through doors, windows, and air intakes on buildings. k. Drums must be placed to allow for ease of removal when full and to keep them away from accumulated precipitation or spills. (2) Operating requirements for accumulation sites:

R00610.402

20

a. Containers used to store hazardous waste must be kept closed at all times, except for when waste is actually being added to or removed from the container. In general, a container is closed if its original closures, such as bung caps or drum heads, are secured to the container. Therefore, a closed- head 55-gallon drum should have its original (or equivalent replacement) bung caps screwed tightly into the bund openings. During storage, and open-head 55-gallon drum should have its srum head in place with the retaining ring properly secured with the appropriate nut and bolt. Any other types of containers used to store hazardous waste should be kept closed in a similar manner. b. Containers must not be stored or handled in a manner which may cause them to rupture or leak. The following precautions should be taken at both satellite accumulation points and PPRC to prevent container ruptures and leaks: 1 Containers must not be overfilled. For example, only fill a 55-gallon drum to

50 gallons. Liquids expand in containers as the temperature increases. A steel drum painted a dark color can easily rise to temperatures above 100 F and the pressure created by the expansion of the liquid causes bulging heads and damages the integrity of the container. Bulging containers also create a safety hazard for personnel expected to add waste to or handle the containers.

2 Containers must be protected from freezing during cold weather. Many materials go through a freeze/thaw cycle during changing weather conditions. This freeze/thaw cycle causes metal stress and can result in leaking containers. Caution should be taken for drums stored out of doors. 3 Containers bearing ignitable hazardous waste must be grounded. Grounding

will prevent build-up of static electricity which may create a spark capable of igniting flammable vapors. Also use a bonding wire to connect container you are pouring from to the container you are pouring into when the transferring flammable liquids into containers to prevent sparks caused by the build-up of static electricity during pouring operations. Contact the installation fire department for grounding and bonding instructions.

4 Drums and other containers must be handled and transported with

equipment designed for the task. Drum grappler attachments may be purchased for tow motors to securely grab and move containers. If moving drums on pallets, secure containers to pallets before moving. Use drum carts designed for the types of containers used by your facility to reduce the likelihood of dropping a container during handling. Never balance drums

R00610.402

21

on the forks of a forklift or tow motor. 5 Use a funnel to fill closed head containers. This will ensure that all waste

is poured into the container and does not spill on the top of the container. After filling the funnel should be removed and the container closed. If the funnel has any hazardous waste residues remaining, the residues should be rinsed into the container, or the funnel placed in a suitable closed hazardous waste accumulation container.

6 Drums must not stacked more than two high. Drums containing flammable

liquids should not be stacked. 7 Containers should be stored in a area which is well away from or protected

from damage due to the movement of vehicles such as trucks, fork lifts, POVs etc.

(3) Container marking during waste accumulation, shall consist of the following information: (a) The words " HAZARDOUS WASTE" or "DANGEROUS WASTE". (b) The drum must also be marked with a label or sign which identifies the major risk(s) associated with the waste in the container. ie: Corrosivity, reactivity, ignitability or toxicity. (c) Accumulation start date (when drum is full). (4) Container marking prior to shipping off-base shall consist of the information by EPA and DOT. All marks must be durable, in English, and printed on or affixed to the surface of a package or on a label, tag or sign, displayed on a background of sharply contrasting color, unobscured by labels or other attachments and located away from any other marking, such as advertising, that might substantially reduce it visibility or effectiveness. Each container shall be marked with the proper shipping name and the corresponding DOT identification number must be marked on each package of hazardous waste. The proper shipping name is obtained from column 2 and the DOT identification number is obtained from column 3A of the DOT hazardous materials table found in 49 CFR 172.101. Chapter 7 of the Air Force Hazardous Waste Management Guide provides a method for determining the proper shipping name and DOT identification number for new mixtures of hazardous waste. (a) Packages containing hazardous substances, (see Chapter 7 of the Air Force

R00610.402

22

Hazardous Waste Management Guide for definition), must be marked with the package with the letters "RQ" in association with the proper shipping name. If the proper shipping name does not identify the hazardous substance by name, also mark the package with one of the following: 1 The name of the hazardous substance as shown in the Appendix to the Hazardous Materials Table. 2 The EPA hazardous waste number (for waste streams). 3 For characteristic hazardous wastes, the word "ignitability," "corrosivity," "reactivity," "toxicity," or the corresponding EPA hazardous waste identification number. (b) When shipping over packs or other packages with inside packaging containing liquid hazardous wastes, mark the outside package: "THIS SIDE UP" or "THIS END UP" to indicate the upward position of the inside packaging, or an arrow symbol indicating "THIS WAY UP". Also include a statement that the inner packaging comply with DOT specifications. (c) For packaging containing material classed as "Other Regulated Materials" (ORM), the appropriate ORM mark must be placed on the container. The ORM mark is required on at least one side or end and must be placed immediately following or below the proper shipping name of the waste inside the container. ORM designations, which can be either ORM-A, ORM-B, ORM-C, ORM-D, or ORM-E, must be placed inside a rectangle which is at least 1/4 inch larger than the lettering on all sides. ORM-E Figure 5-1. ORM-E Mark (d) The EPA hazard warning must be marked on each container of 110 gallon or less. The EPA hazard warning contains the wording shown if figure 5-2. HAZARDOUS WASTE-Federal Law Prohibits Improper Disposal. If found, contact the nearest police or public safety authority or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Figure 5-2. EPA Hazardous Waste Mark (5) Containers shall be labeled in accordance with the following requirements prior to shipment off-sites: (a) DOT hazardous materials warning labels which represent the hazard of the material being shipped must be affixed to containers before being offered for transportation. It is the responsibility of the generating activity to determine whether or not labels are required, any multiple labeling requirements, and the proper location of the labels on the package. Shipments from DRMO will name their contractor prepare the shipping documents and labels for transportation. (b) The following steps should be followed to determine and affix the proper DOT label for hazardous waste shipments in containers, packages, over packs, or freight containers (Note: This procedure is based on DOT regulations in effect in September of 1989 and is valid until October 1, 1993): 1 Locate the hazardous material description as listed in column 2 of the Hazardous Materials Table in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 172.101. 2 Locate the hazard class (or classes) for the material corresponding to the hazardous materials description in column 3 of the table. Definitions of DOT hazard classes are presented in figure 5-3. These hazard class definitions are valid until October 1, 1993 when new international hazardous material standards will be adopted. Consult the new standards after that date. 3 Locate the hazard label required for each package, as listed in column 4 of the DOT Hazardous Materials Table. 4 Place hazard labels next to the proper shipping name marked on each container. (c) Some hazardous material descriptions have morel than one hazard class listed in the hazardous material table. A waste may exhibit one or more of these classes. If the container being shipped contains waste exhibiting only one of the hazard classes listed in the table, the appropriate label should be affixed to the container. If the container contains waste meeting the definition of more than one hazard class, multiple labels are required. Multiple labels must be located next to one another.

ORM-B Material (including a wet solid) capable of causing significant damage to a transport vehicle from leakage during transportation.

R00610.402

26

ORM-C Material which has other inherent characteristics not described by an ORM-A or ARM-B, but which make it unsuitable for shipment, unless properly identified and prepared for transportation. ORM-D Materials such as consumer commodities which present limited hazard during transportation due to their form, quantity, and packaging. ORM-E Other materials not included in any other hazard class but subject to regulation. Examples include hazardous substances and hazardous wastes. Figure 5-3. DOT Hazard Class Definition (continued) (6) All Hazardous waste accumulation sites must be inspected at least weekly (FAFB does not accumulate or store hazardous waste in tanks; if tanks are ever used for this purpose, the tanks will be inspected daily). During the inspection, areas where containers are stored must be examined to look for leaking containers and deterioration of containers and deterioration of the area in which the container are place. Each inspection must be documented and will include the name of the inspector, problems that the inspector should be looking for, and a description of actions taken to correct the problems when they are detected. Figure 5-4 depicts the accumulation site inspection log used at FAFB. Inspection records must be maintained for each accumulation site manager for at least five years from the date of each inspection. - Inspections of hazardous waste accumulation sites are the responsibility of the accumulation site manager; however, the Hazardous Waste Technician will periodically verify that inspections are being conducted by auditing the inspection file of each accumulation site manager.

Accumulation Site Inspection Log (continued) (b) The Hazardous Waste Technician shall also visit each accumulation site at least monthly to ensure that the containers and the accumulation area are in good condition and are in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, which include: 1 The preparedness and prevention requirements of 40 CFR 265, Subpart C and WAC 173-303-340. 2 The container requirements of 40 CFR 265, Subpart I and WAC 173-303- 630. 3 The tank systems requirements of 40 CFR 265, Subpart J. (7) Accumulation Site Container Log. To account for all drums at an accumulation site, FAFB accumulation site managers will maintain an accumulation site container log. The accumulation site container log shown in figure 5-5 is used to record a container identification number assigned to the container by the accumulation site manager and the waste stream number of the waste in each container. The following data should be recorded on the log: (a) The column "Container number" represents a unique number assigned to each container. The numbering system should identify the waste stream as well as the individual identity of each container generated by the waste generating activity. For example, code "AB-001-037" references the 37th drum of paint chips generated by the abrasive blasting process. (b) The column "Waste Stream" is used to enter a brief description of the

R00610.402

29

hazardous waste in each container. (c) The column "Start Date" represents one of the following dates. If waste is being added to a container at an accumulation site, enter the date the first volume of waste was added to the container. If a 55-gallon container if filled at a initial accumulation point and subsequently moved to the accumulation site, enter the date the container was filled to capacity. (d) "Date Full" is the date the container was filled to capacity. (e) "Date Transferred" is a record of the date the container was transferred to DRMO or was shipped from the accumulation site for treatment, storage or disposal. (f) "Shipped To" is a log of the location to which the container was shipped. Accumulation Point Number: Location: Accumulation Point Manager: Container Waste Start Date Date Shipped Number Stream Date Full Transferred To Figure 5-5. Accumulation Site Container Log 5-3. Satellite Accumulation Points. A satellite accumulation point is an area at or near the point of hazardous waste generation. The following conditions must be met while operating the satellite accumulation point: a. Hazardous waste accumulation is under the control of the operator of the process generating the waste. b. Not more than 55 gallons of hazardous waste or 1 quart of any one type of acute hazardous waste may be accumulated. c. Hazardous waste may be accumulated indefinitely until either of the restrictions in items a or b are exceeded. d. Hazardous waste at initial accumulation points must be collected in approved DOT containers.

6-3. Air Force Hazardous Waste Management Training Program. FAFB uses the Air Force Hazardous Waste Training Program to train applicable base personnel. This program is taught by contractor or CES/CEV personnel and is geared to flightline, maintenance, and other AF personnel who generate hazardous waste. Included are procedures for determination of which wastes are hazardous, waste accumulation, container selection, container marking and labeling, management of the accumulation site, waste turn-in, on-base transportation, off-base transportation, manifesting, and emergency response. Hazardous Waste training will be provided to all accumulation point managers, alternates and supervisors a minimum of annually. Training will be offered at least twice annually to accommodate into training needs. For other questions regarding training call CEV at 7-2421. 6-4. FAFB Hazardous Waste Training Program. To fully comply with the regulations, FAFB has tailored it's training program to meet the base's specific requirements including base-specific procedures for waste determination, accumulation, transportation, and turn-in. The FAFB program also includes the base's specific emergency response procedures. 6-5. Required Records. Training records are required to document that all appropriate personnel have successfully completed their required training. The Environmental Flight will maintain the "sign in" sheet of the individuals who attended the training as documentation that the training requirement was met. The following records should be maintained at the Hazardous Waste Accumulation Point. a. The job title for each position at the shop related to hazardous waste management and the name of the employee filling each job. b. A written job description for each position related to hazardous waste management. For the purposes of RCRA training records, the job description need only describe the job as it relates to the management of hazardous waste and must include the requisite skills, education, or other qualifications, and the duties of facility personnel assigned to each position. c. A written description of the type and amount of both introductory and continuing training that will be given to each person filling a position related to management of hazardous waste. d. Records that document that the training or job experience required to meet the training requirements have been provided to and completed by base personnel. These records must be kept for current employees as long as they work at the installation, and for an additional five years after the date they leave the base (or
