Waste Analysis Plan and Waste Characterization Survey, Barksdale AFB, Louisiana

Abstract

This document presents a waste analysis plan and waste characterization survey that was conducted at Barksdale AFB (AFB) Louisiana on 29 Oct - 1 Nov and 5-8 Nov 90. The scope of this survey was to address hazardous waste management practices, explore opportunities for waste minimization, and to determine waste streams. The survey team performed a shop-by-shop determination of hazardous waste streams and met with hazardous waste managers to discuss their programs. A waste analysis plan for Barksdale AFB was developed in conjunction with a baseline analysis of identified hazardous waste streams. Requirements for facilities that either treat, store and/or dispose of hazardous wastes include: (1) A current waste analysis before treating, storing, or disposing of any waste; (2) A written Waste Analysis Plan (WAP); and (3) When applicable sample and analyze each waste stream from off-site generators.
