Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Survey, Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma

Abstract

At the request of 443 ABG/DEEV, AFOEHL personnel conducted a hazardous waste technical assistance survey at Altus AFB from 8 to 13 January 1989. The purpose of this survey was to address an Administrative Compliance Order issued by the Oklahoma State Department of Health on 26 July 1988. The scope of the survey included hazardous waste management practices, waste disposal practices, and waste minimization alternatives. 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 Altus AFB has a workable hazardous waste program that needs further development. Keywords: Hydraulic fluid; Waste oil; Waste fuels; Contaminated soil; Waste reduction; Altus AFB OK; Contamination; Electrochemical batteries; Hazardous waste minimization. (kt)
