Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Survey, Fairchild AFB, Washington
Abstract
Headquarters 92nd Bombardment Wing (SAC), requested the USAFOEHL conduct a hazardous waste technical assistance survey at Fairchild AFB from 18 to 29 Jan 88. The scope of this survey was to evaluate hazardous waste management practices and explore opportunities for hazardous waste minimization. The survey team performed a shop evaluation of chemical waste management practices and met with hazardous waste managers and engineers to discuss the hazardous waste program. Recommendations: (1) The base needs to modify their waste analysis plan to include as a minimum: a complete listing of all known wastestreams; the results of a baseline waste analysis; the parameters for analysis; the sampling frequency; and the sampling technique for each wastestream. (2) Wastes should be taken to DRMO in government vehicles rather than privately owned vehicles to reduce the liability to the base should an accident occur. (3) A contractor should be contacted to recycle batteries on the base. (4) The base should start a program to test the integrity of their underground storage tanks. (5) The 92nd Vehicle Maintenance accumulation site manager should control the disposal of waste oil going into the underground waste oil storage tank under his responsibility.
