Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Survey Lajes Field, Azores

Abstract

At the request of HQ MAC/LGMW, THE AFOEHL conducted a hazardous waste technical assistance survey at Lajes Field from 11-14 Jun 90. The scope of this survey was to address hazardous waste management practices and explore opportunities for hazardous waste minimization. The survey team performed a shop-by-shop evaluation of chemical waste management practices and met with hazardous waste managers and engineers to discuss the hazardous waste program. Recommendations include: (1) Amend training to include specific examples of Lajes Field operations. (2) Upgrade satellite accumulation sites. (3) Verify proper disposal of waste oil by local contractor. (4) Treat perchloroethylene sludge as a hazardous waste. (5) Amend the base spill plan to address specific requirements for calling on the base Spill Response Team. (6) Evaluate the operating efficiency of the hospital incinerator.
