Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Survey Moody Air Force Base Georgia
Abstract
At the request of 347 Medical Group/SG, the AFOEHL conducted a hazardous waste technical assistance survey at Moody AFB (MAFB) from 18 to 28 July 1988. The scope of this survey was to address hazardous waste management practices, establish a waste sampling strategy, and explore opportunities for hazardous waste minimization. The survey team performed a shop-by-shop evaluation of chemical waste management practices as well as met with hazardous waste managers and engineers to discuss the hazardous waste program. The results of our survey showed that MAFB needs to formalize the hazardous waste management program. Some recommendations include: (1) The base needs to develop a waste analysis plan. (2) The transportation of wastes from shops to DRMO should be streamlined. (3) The Auto Hobby Shop and 347 CES Paint Shop waste paint storage areas should be classified as satellite accumulation sites. (4) The Auto Hobby Shop should consider using Simple Green Soap and Safety Kleen degreaser rather than aircraft soap and PD-680.
