Hazardous Waste Management: A Descriptive Study.
Abstract
The increased emphasis and enforcement of the RCRA regulations by the US EPA has prompted AF managers to reevaluate base hazardous waste management activities. This research effort provides management with a profile of the current state of affairs of waste management within the Air Force community. This profile provides the necessary baseline data for managers to develop and support future hazardous waste management initiatives. A census of all CONUS base environmental Coordinators was used to identify existing base hazardous waste management practices. The data obtained in this research effort identified three major problem areas: 1) Inadequate environmental manning, 2) Inadequate waste storage facilities, and the 3) Lack of EPC involvement in the base's hazardous waste management program. Additional research into the underlying reasons for this lack of EPC support is recommended.
