Development and Application of a Methodology for Evaluating Type II expired Shelf Life Hazardous Material Generation in the United States Air Force

Abstract

The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, Air Force Directive 19-4, and the Air Force Pollution Prevention Plan require installations to reduce the amounts of hazardous waste generated. To meet the requirements set forth in these documents, each waste stream containing a hazardous waste needs to be identified and characterized for changes in policies or procedures that would reduce the hazardous waste generated. This research develops a methodology to determine the amount of materials with a type II shelf life that is disposed of as hazardous waste because the shelf life expired while the material was in base supply storage. This methodology is then applied to determine the portion of the total waste stream accounted for by these materials.
