Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Survey, Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota

Abstract

At the request of the 857th Strategic Hospital Bioenvironmental Engineering Services the Armstrong Laboratory Occupational and Environmental Health Directorate (AL/OE) conducted a Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Survey at Minot AFB on 24-28 Jun 9l The scope of this survey was to address hazardous waste management practices, to 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 waste programs. Recommendations include: (1) employ proven waste reduction techniques in 857 TRANS shops, 857 CES vehicle maintenance and equipment maintenance shops, and 5 FMS aircraft maintenance shops; (2) install locking devices on each accumulation drum or tank at accumulation points; and (3) implement the use of a master control log to track numerically coded storage drums.
