Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Survey, Luke AFB, Arizona

Abstract

At the request of 832 Medical Group (TAC)/SGPB, the AFOEHL conducted a hazardous waste technical assistance survey at Luke AFB (LAFB) from 30 Oct - 3 Nov 89. The scope of this survey was to address hazardous waste management practices, explore opportunities for hazardous waste minimization, and to determine possible industrial discharges to the sanitary sewer. 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. Recommendations include: 1) Develop and implement a formalized hazardous waste education and training program; 2) Store waste paints and thinners in smaller containers at 944 CAMS Corrosion Control; 3) Use an alternate absorbent material, such as siliceous-based, for cleaning up small spills; 4) Establish a contract with a local linen contractor for supplying cleaning rags; 5) Use soap rather than PD-680 at 832 CES Power Production for washing generators throughout the base.
