I. PLAN SUMMARY
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
The objective of this OPLAN is to facilitate the responsible management
of hazardous wastes (HW) within the boundaries of Kirtland Air Force Base
{KAFB). Hazardous wastes include surplus hazardous substances and may
include, under circumstances described herein, petroleum, oils and lubri
cants {POL). The OPLAN emphasizes the reuse or recycling of hazardous
materials whenever practical or economically feasible, with disposal of
hazardous waste as a last resort.
The OPLAN provides guidance for the collection, storage, and disposal of
hazardous wastes and excess hazardous materials on Kirtland Air Force
Base (KAFB). Originators of hazardous wastes are required to adhere to
the requirements of this OPLAN and write their own internal implementing
regulations. A Waste Materials Control and Recovery Subconnni ttee ( WMCRS)
of the Environmental Protection Connnittee will monitor implementation of
the OPLAN and provide reconnnendations for improvements. The subcommittee
will be chaired by the Base Environmental Coordinator (OEEV) and will
iriclude membership as specified in paragraph III C.
This OPLAU will implement the requirements of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act {RCRA) as established by 40 CFR 260, 261, 262, 263, 264,
265, and 267 and adopted by the state of New Mexico. Also, regulations
issued by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) under 49 CFR 171,
172, 173, 178, and 179 will be implemented, as well as Headquarters Air
Force Engineering and Services Center (AFESC) and Defense Logistics Agency -1-
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
(DLA) guidance. This OPLAN is effective until superseded, amended, or
requirement is eliminated through change in public law.
This OPLAN applies to all KAFB organizations and tenants, with the
exception of the US Department of Energy and Sandia National Laboratories
and associated contractors who are responsible for hazardous wastes under
a separate Environmental Protection Agency permit. KAFB organizations
and tenants employing contractors which deal with hazardous wastes must
task the contractors to comply with this OPLAN to the extent necessary to
ensure that such wastes are handled in a manner compatible with this
OPLAN and applicable law. The KAFB Civil Engineering/Environmental
Section may provide technical guidance to KAFB organizations, tenants and
agencies regarding contractor compliance.
This OPLAN will be implemented at all times. It is ultimately the
responsibility of the 1606 ABW Wing Commander, who has delegated
responsibilities as described herein. Annual updates of this OPLAN will
be completed by 30 January each year, as determined by 1606 ABW/DEEV.
The successful and cost effective management of hazardous wastes and POL
requires proper segregation of waste by category. Segregation maximizes
the chance of sale for non-waste purposes and, where disposal of wastes
by 1 i censed contractor is required, segregation minimizes disposal costs. , \ , d•<':~r· ~J . This OPLAN excludes: (1} asbestos products, (2) hydrazine, and (3) 1 · 1 ·1,~'t~ ~~~t~
u:vt''' .
radioactive material, which are all covered by other regulations or 1/19·~(Ji/\'
OPLANS. Petroleum Products contaminated with solvents (with the 2
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
exception of PD680/Stoddard solvent) are considered hazardous waste and
are subject to tbis plan.
This OPLAN provides for inspection, record keeping, and manifesting to
account for the generation, transportation, and storage of hazardous '
wastes on the Base, as well as shipment to approved off site disposal
facilites. Wastes transferred on the Base will be accompanied by DD
Fonn 1348-1. Wastes transferred off the Base for proper disposal will be
accompanied by the proper hazardous wastes manifest as required under
. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State regulations.
The implementation of this OPLAN will take best advantage of the existing
skills and resources available on the Base, while ensuring that the
hazardous wastes originator retains responsibility for the waste until
the waste is transferred to the Defense Property Disposal Office (DPDO).
The originator of a hazardous waste is responsible for properly
identifying \·tastes and obtaining and filling suitable containers for
disposal. If the \'!aste characteristics are unknmm, the originator is
responsible for analyzing a representative sample of the "'aste for the
parameters necessary to make a proper disposal decis~on. The originator
is further responsible for working with the on call packaging contractor,
\'thich will provide the appropriate shipping labels and dunnage for the
containers. The on call packaging contractor will affix and complete a
DD Forr.t 1387-2 to each container prior to movement. After suitable
3
1606th Air Rase Hing 01AC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
packaging, labeling, and certification the originator must obtain
authorization fror.i DPDO, \·1hi ch Hi 11 direct the originator to deliver the
wastes to a designated DPDO storage facility on the Base. Upon delivery,
the DPDO \'Jill inspect and \·till acce~t accountability and physical control
of the wastes. If possible, DPDO \'fill proceed with arrangements to sell
the material or transfer it to other agencies for use. Othen-ti se, DPDO
will arrange for off site disposal by a service contract.
There \·1ill be no ultimate on site disposal of hazardous \'taste on KAFB.
All wastes will be shipped to approved off site facilitie::.
This OP LAN addresses emergency/contingency response to all hdzardous
waste incidents. \/hile this may duplicate portions of other plans, it is
intended to provide a ready reference for the reporting, containment,
neutralization, and cleanup of all hazardous materials and wastes.

I I. GENERAL
A. Introduction
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
KAFB currently generates a variety of surplus unused chemicals, chemical
hazardous wastes, and POL wastes. The type and quantity of wastes vary
from year to year as research activities and other mission assignments on
the Base change. While the DPDO attr:mpts to find markets for the use and
reuse of surplus and waste hazardous materials, most hazardous wastes
\·1ill require disposal via the hazardous wastes system.
The objective of this OPLAN is to fac11itate responsible management of
hazardous wastes uithin the boundaries of KAFB. The.plan emphasizes
reuse or recycling of hazardous materials whenever practical or economi-,
cally feasible. Implementation of the GPLAN will take the best advantage
of the skills and resources available, while ensuring that the hazardous
wastes originator retains responsi bi1 i ty for the wastes until the time of
turn-in to the DPOO for disposal.

IV. COLLECTION AND SEGREGATION
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, Nf.1 87117
This section describes the waste segregation and collection procedures
for waste· originators.
A. Technical Orders
Technical Orders for management of contaminated fuels and oils are set
forth in Orders numbers T0-35-1-3, 36-1-3, 42 8-1-l, and 42 8-1-23.
There are no corresponding Orders for hazardous wastes. Rather, the EPA,
DOT, and New Mexico regulations apply.
B. Record Keeping of Collection and Disposal Actions
The responsible person designated in paragraph III. 1. 6. shall maintain
specific records at the waste collection site including the date on which
Nastes were first placed in each numbered container, the date when the
container was filled, the contents, by percent, of each increment added
to the container, the date of transfer to DPOO and a description of the
waste and quantity. The records must be sufficiently detailed and com
plete so that the originator can certify, in good faith, the contents of
the container at the time of disposal. For example, the originator may
have to certify that the wastes contain no halogenated solvents.
-21-
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
C. Collection Container, DOT Certified
Proper packing begins at the time of initial material accumulation. DPDO
wi 11 not accept hazardous t'iastes or materials unless they are properly
packaged, labeled, classed, and in good condition for transpor-t. It is
the responsibility of the hazardous waste originator to meet the follow
; ng requirements.
1. Container Selection
Hazardous waste containers shall be approved by the Department of
Transportation (DOT) for hazardous waste transportation. The containers
shall be compatible with the waste. Hazardous waste analysis provides
infonnation useful in selecting compatible containers. Before a container
w~ich held any material is reused to store hazardous waste, the compati
bility of the previous material and the \'/aste will be checked. If the
material and waste are incompatible, the container will be triple rinsed
\'lith a solvent capable of completely removing the previous material before
the container is reused. Compatibility of the waste and the cleaning
solvent sl1all be checked also. If there is a doubt about compatibility,
either triple rinse or don't use the container. Containers shall be in
good condition (i.e., no rust, no dents, proper seals, bungs with all
gaskets, etc.) and of a reusable type. DOT-certified drums can be iden
tified by looking at the bottom of the drum for the DOT specification
number (e.g., l7E, 17H, 37H, 37P, etc.). The container used for
collection must be a container suitable for shipment. Small
-22-
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
containers may be packaged with other compatible materials. Contact the
on call packaging contractor and determine the correct container. Obtain
the container through one of the following: supply, DPDO, or after
coordination with DEEV, the packaging contractor.
Collection containers must be made or lined with materials which will not
react with and are otherwise compatible with the wastes to be stored, so
that the ability of the container to contain the waste is not impaired.
For small quantities of chemicals, that is up to 10 gallons, the
originator may use the container in which the raw material chemical was
received. For larger quantities suitable metal, plastic lined, or plastic
drums up to 55 galions may be preferred.
2. Container Management
Containers must not be opened, handled, or stored in a manner which may
rupture the container or cause it to leak. A damaged or leaking container
of hazardous waste may be placed in a DOT-approved overpack container, or
the contents transferred to another suitable container. All hazardous
waste containers must be closed during storage, except when adding or
removing waste. A minimum of four (4) inches of air space will be pro
vided in all containers to allow for expansion. For fla1T111able liquids,
containers must be electrically grounded and have an appropriate closure
device to prevent vaporization or entry of water. The drums or
23
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
containers may be mounted on carts, doll eys, or trailers to facilitate
mobility, safety, and ease of handling.
3. Container Location
Waste Chemical or POL containers may be installed at the generator site,
after the location is approved by the Safety Office and the Fire Depart
ment. Containers must be placed in locations which comply with the
Nati anal Fi re Protection Association Codes and the Base Spill Prevention
Control and Counter Measure Pl an. Containers must be stored with adequate
isles for emergency equipment access. Storage must be arranged such that
all sides of each container are visible for inspection, which precludes . stacking and "bunching" of containers.
4. Collection Time Limits
a. POL
A DPDO outside service contractor will collect waste POL from designated
collection points on the Base at 1 east once per month. Therefore, waste
POL storage should not exceed 60 days.
b. Surplus hazardous substances and hazardous wastes.
Originators shall arrange for proper disposal of full hazardous waste
containers or partially filled containers (into which no further wastes
will be placed) before they are filled and in no cases longer than 72
hours after the container is full. DPDO will be notified before the
containers are full to allow for inspection prior to turn-in. DPDO will
assign a container number.
-24-
5. Container Marking
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
a. Containers for fl ammab 1 es (fl ash point temperature below
l00°F), such as petroleum products, solvents, paint thinner, and flam
mable chemicals shall be painted red with a yellow band around the center.
TI1e yellow band shall not exceed 1/3 of the container height.
The identity of the contents, including name, United Nations {U.N.)
number, and other pertinent safety infonnation, e.g. "flammable" shall be
lettered in one-inch red letters in the yellow band. The markings shall
be in accordance with AFM G7-l, AFR 69-8, and for AFOSH standards. Also,
the proper label identifying the contents, per 49 CFR 172 shall be
applied to the container. These containers may be maintained on a
long-term basis by the originator and emptied on a monthly schedule by a
DPDO service contractor.
b. Containers of nonflammable POL products shall be painted
red with a yellow band around the center of the container. The yellow
band shall not exceed 1/3 of the container height or length. The identity
of the contents and any pertinent safety i nfonnation will be written in
one-inch-high red letters in the yellow band. The originator may maintain
the containers for long-term use. The containers will be emptied on a
monthly basis by a DPDO service contractor.
-25-
1606th Air Base Hing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
c. Storage tanks, bowsers, and tank trucks will not be used
for waste products unless specifically authorized and clearly narked in
accordance with TO 36-1-30.
d. Hazardous waste containers will be narked with the
yellow and black or yellow and red label required by EPA. The label will
pro vi de the foll O\'ti ng i nfomati on:
1. The noun and cheaical nar.ies of the hazardous waste( s),
percentage of each contaminant (if mixed), the DOT identification number,
and the DOT container specification number.
2. Uarne and address of the generator (in most cases this will
be Kirtland AFB, NM 87117).
3. The EPA pemit number for Kirtland AFB: rm-571824423.
4. The date when filling of container was begun.
5. The combined weight of the container and waste in kilograms.
6. The barrel or container number. These are assigned by DPDO
when hazardous waste turn-in is requested.
7. Containers will have all previously used labels removed
and/or covered to preclude possible error of identification. An example
of the 1 abel , \'lhi ch may be obtained from Base supply, is shown in
Figure 2. In addition, the proper DOT labels, e.g., 11 flar.u:1able, 11
11corrosive, 11 etc, must be attached to the container.
e. Surplus hazardous substances, e.g., unopened new
containers of chemical compounds, solvents, acids, or bases, should not
be 1 abel ed as hazardous waste unless DPDO detemi nes that there is no
reutilization, transfer, donation, resale, or r.iarket value for the
26
1606th Air Base Wing {MAC} Kirtland Air Force Base, l~M 87117
substances and that the material must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
The proper DOT shipping i nfonnati on and 1 abel s must accompany turn-in of
such materials, even if they are not wastes. The originator must verify
that labels are attached and legible.
D. Segregation of Materials
Non-compatible wastes shall be segregated at all times. The segregation
of hazardous substances, hazardous wastes and POL into the categories
described below will minimize disposal costs in most cases. Where
di sposa1 alternatives and market conditions indicate that mixing certain
wastes is more practical, the DPDO and SGPB will advise the originator.
1. Halogenated Wastes
Halogenated solvents {those containing flourine, chlorine, bromine, or
iodine) shall not be mixed with nonhalogenated solvents or other
nonhalogenated compounds. Examples of halogenated compounds are methylene
chloride, trichloroettzylene, chlorinated waxes and oils, freons, and
methyl iodide. These compounds fonn corrosive acid mist and vapors when
burned. All halogenated wastes will be turned over to DPOO and disposed
of by a service contract, per RCRA regulations.
2. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB}
PCBs are primarily used as dielectric fluids in electrical capacitors and
transformers. PCBs are toxic and their use and disposal is heavily
regulated under the TSCA. Any liquid or solid electrical unit with more
-27-
l 606th Air Base Wing {MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
than 50 ppm of PCB is regulated. Consequently, any mixing of PCB
materials with non-PCB materials or any PCB spills can result in a very
large and expensive clean-up and disposal cost. If a spill occurs, seek
immediate help from DEEV and SGPB and refer to the Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan. Storage, manifesting and disposal '
of PCBs shall be arranged with DPOO. Trade names for PCBs include but
are not limited to: VV-1-1219, Askarel, Aroclor, Pydraul, Therminol,
Pyroclor, Santothenn, Dykanol, Elemex, Hyvol, No-Flamol, Saf-T-Kuhl,
Aroclor-B, Clorinol, Clorphen, and Eucarel.
3. Silver Bearing Photographic Property and Precious Metals
TI1ese chemical compounds and electrical units are to be segregated for
disposal through the Base precious metals reclamation program.
4. Acids and Bases
TI1ese wastes will be kept separate from each other and other noncompa
tible vastes prior to disposal.
5. Non-halogenated Solvents and Organic Compounds
Materials in this category shall be kept separate unless DEEV and DPDO
authorize mixing. Some of these substances became hazardous waste by
definition after use.
6. POL
The petroleum products listed below describe the categories and
subcategories of POL for segregation purposes. Inclusion within a
category does not necessarily imply that a specific oil or lubricant may
-28-
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87-117
be mixed for disposal purposes, as a specific POL may be reclaimed for a
high value reuse.
a. Category l : Fuels
( l ) Calibrating Fluid· (ML-C-7024)
(2) Purging Fluid (MIL-F-38299)
(3) Jet Fuels and Kerosene
(4) Avgas
(5) Mo gas
(6) Diesel Fuel
b. Category 2: Hydraulic and Lubricating Fluids and Oils
(l) Hydraulic Fluid, Mineral Based (MIL-H-5606,
MI L-H-6083)
(2) Mineral Base Solvents (P-D-680)
(3) Lubricating Oils
(4) Preservative Oils
c. Category 3: Engine Oils
Category three oils may be contaminated by lead and
therefore considered a hazardous waste. This category
must be kept separate from other petroleum products.
(1) Used Motor Crankcase Oils (MIL-L-46152)
(2) Reciprocating Aircraft Engine Oils (MIL-L-6082,
MI L-L-22851 )
-29-
l606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
d. Category 4: Synthetic Oils
Used Turbine Engine Oils (Synthetics) (MIL-L-7808,
MIL-L-23699)
e. Category 5: Mixed Liquids
~Ji xed petroleum 1 i quids can not meet the segregation
requirement of categories 1, 2, 3, and 4 above because
they are contaminated by halogenated solvents, oil/water
emulsions, industrial chemicals, or related materials.
Petroleum in this category is normally considered waste.
7. Water Contamination
Water ~an enter POL from condensation, from direct precipitation into the
containers, and by overpumping of oil/water separator sumps. Water
contamination reduces the recycling market value of the POL and should be
prevented by proper maintenance and operation of containers, funnels and
equipment. I
-30-
V. STAGING AND STORAGE AREAS
A.' Collection Points
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
The collection point is a designated area at or near the waste
originating site, which has been approved by DEEV, SGPB, Base Safety and
Fire Safety. Collection points are restricted to accumulating only enough
wastes to compile a feasible load to transport to DPDO for resale or
disposal. Unless the collection point has an EPA pennit for waste stor
age, waste ~aterials shall not be held longer than 90 days, except for
single drums of a specific waste, which may be held until full. The full
container must be transferred to DPDO within 72 hours.
B. Storage Areas
Storage areas require an EPA storage permit and be under the control of
the 1G06 ABW/CC and may hold wastes longer than 90 days. In this OPLAN,
DPDO will operate the storage areas and initiate waste disposal from these
areas, except where wastes are diverted for recycling, fire training, or
other uses sanctioned by DEEV. Storage areas must be operated in compli
ance with EPA and DPDO requirements for:
l. Security
Access must be restricted by locked fences or doors.
2. Posting
Signs must indicate hazardous waste in/or at PCB storage.
-31-
· 3. Inspections
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, ~JM 87117
Weekly inspections for container condition etc, must be documented in
wr.i ting.
4. Communications
A telephone and/or radio must be immediately accessible at the storage
site unless two or more employees are present at all visits to the site.
5. Fi re Control
Suitable fire extinguishing equipment, including portable and/or fixed
devices must be provided.
6. Emergencies
A contingency plan for each collection site must be prepared to anticipate
the response to sudden and non-sudden release of hazardous waste to air,
soil, or surface water.
C. Spill Prevention
Collection and storage areas must have spill prevention measures such as
curbing or trays to contain potential spills. If the areas are outside,
they should be kept as clean as possible to prevent contaminated storm
water runoff. ru1 collection in storage areas will be subject to the Oil
and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan. Proper security
and/or limited access must be provided.
-32-
VI. DISPOSITION OF WASTE PRODUCTS
A. Disposition of Fuels
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
All disposal shall be consistent with the spirit and the intent of
national and environmental pollution control acts and associated regula
tions, Air Force directives, Technical Order, TO 42 B-1-23 and this plan.
1. Aircraft Fuels
a. Residual fuel removed from aircraft should be returned
to bulk storage tanks if the quality of the residual fuel can be deter
mined locally to be acceptable. If the quality cannot be detennined, the
suspect fuel will be stored temporarily in tanks or drums until the Base
Fuels Laboratory detenni nes \'/hether or not the fuel is satisfactory for
reuse. When tests show the fuel is not usable in aircraft, support
equipment or ground vehicles, the fuel may be used for fire training, in
heating plants, or sold through DPDO. Only clean containers will be used '
to store the fuel temporarily. When a reclaimed product is returned to
Base stocks, a minimum of two filtrations is required. Reclaimed pro-
ducts should always be returned to bulk storage, and not to operating
tanks, except when there is no bulk storage. The reclaimed product should
be diluted at a ratio of at least 1 gallon to 25 gallons in the bulk
storage. Tiie reclaimed material should be returned to the bulk tank so
that is followed by a nonnal delivery of fuel to the transporting tank,
as a means of ensuring that the reclaimed product is not left in the
lines and subsequently issued undiluted to trucks or hydrants.
-33-
2. Ground Fuels
l 606th Air Base I-Ii ng (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
a. All fuels drained from motor vehicles, heavy equipment,
power generators, etc., shall be collected in clean containers and either
returned to the sar.ie source fror.t which the fuel was taken, or returned to
Base stock in accord8nce with prescribed accounting procedures. Ground
fuels unsuitable for reuse shall be considered for fire departraent
training, fuel for heating plants, or as a last resort, sale through DPDO.
' B. Disposition of Used Oils
Mineral and synthetic oils will be evaluated for reuse prior to down-
grading for fuel oil or disposal.
l. Mineral Oils
Oils and hydraulic fuels drained from aircraft must be collected in clean
containers and segregated. If refining of oils is not feasible or
profitable, the blending of centrifuged, filtered or settled waste oii
with burner fuel (DD-F-815) should be considered. Waste oils blended for
fuel must be treated to remove solids to prevent burner nozzle clogging
and/or excessive stack emissions. Burning untreated or unblended waste
oil should not be attempted without prior consultation with OEEV. Mineral
oils contaminated with halogenated solvents will not be blended with fuel.
These require special off site disposal, as discussed ahove.
34
l 606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
2. Synthetic Turbine Engine Oils
Synthetic turbine engine oils command a high resale price even after
use. Conseqwently, such oils must be segregated. More than 2 to 3
percent of contaminants such as jet fuel and hydraulic oils render the
synthetic oil unfit for recycling. Synthetic oils MIL-L-7808 and
MIL-L-23699 will be collected in clean 55-gallon drums labeled "used jet
engine oi 1 only. 11 All synthetic oils will be disposed of by DPDO.
3. Prohibited Practices
Waste oil will not be used for weed control, insect control, fire
training exercises, or road dust control or disposed of by open burning
or dlll1pi ng.
C. PCBs
Any transport or disposal of PCB articles, equipment, liquids, or spill
residue will be handled on a case-by-case basis. The originator should
contact DEEV and DPDO for instructions.
D. Surplus Chemicals and Chemical Waste
New hazardous chemical substances in their original container or another
container in good condition are not considered hazardous waste. These
chemicals may have significant reuse or resale value. The prime
container should be properly packaged for off-Base transport and the
material turned-in to DPDO. Contaminated or used chemicals should be
-35-
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
properly packaged in prime containers and then prepared for off site
shipment by the on call packaging contractor, including the proper
hazardous waste label. The originator will be responsible for
identifying by percent each identifiable contaminant. Otherwise the
wastes will be transferred to a licensed service contractor for
disposal. Small quantities of acids or bases may be neutralized by the
waste originator for disposal to the sewer system, after approval by DEEV
and SGPB.
36
VII. TURN-IN PROCEDURES
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
This section describes procedures for originators to follow when
turning-in hazardous substances or \·1astes to DPDO.
A. Technical Infonnation
1 • Chemi ca 1 fJames
The originator must provide the proper generic chemical name for the
wastes. If there is doubt about the na~e, the originator should contact
DEEV or SGPB.
2. Chemical Contents
If the originator is uncertain of the chemical constituents in the
hazardous wastes he should refer to the Waste Analysis Pl an in Section X
of this OP LAN.
3. Shipping Name
The originator shall obtain the proper chemical name. Then, the proper
shipping name will be detennined by consulting with the on call packaging
contractor.
B. Documents
Hazardous wastes and hazardous substances turned-in to DPDO must be
accompanied by the following completed documents. The listing in DD Form
-37-
l 606th Air Base ~/i ng (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
1348-1 and the labels must be consistent with each other and accurately
reflect the container contents.
1. DD Form 1348-1 (DOD Single Line Item Rele-ase/Receipt
Document).
A OD Form 1348-1 must be completed for each type of waste in a shipment.
The l~ttered areas shown in Figure 3 and Figure 3a must be completed and
a certification nust be signed. A certification, for instance, that
there ire no halogenated \'tastes in shipment, must also be included at the
direction of DPOO. Example of completed fonns 1348-1 are shm·m in Figure
4,. Any analytical test results which describe the wastes must be
attached to the form.
2. labels
A completed hazardous waste 1 abel must be affixed to each hazardous \'taste
container. An example of the label is shown in Figure 2, and is des
cribed in Section IV.C.4.d. of this Plan. The hazardous waste label does
not apply to waste POL. The label is also not applicable to hazardous
chemical substances which are uncontaminated and likely to be sold for
their intended purposes. PCB \·tastes require special labeling, which may
be obtained from DEEV. In addition, the originator must affix the proper
DOT shipping labels to each container. labels shall indicate character
of container contents, e.g., flammable, corrosive, etc.
38
3. Off-base Shipments
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirt1and Air Force Base, NM 87117
If hazardous wastes to be turned-in to OPOO must be transported over
pub1ic highways, the proper DOT manifest must accompany the shipment.
C. Packaging
The originator must arrange with the on ca11 packaging contractor for
proper overpacking, including dunnage, palletization, etc., for off-Base
transport. The on call packaging contractor will also verify the
correctness of the DD Form .1348-1, the application of the proper
Hazardous Waste label (if any), the DD Form 1387-2, and that the
container markings are consistent.
D. Turn-in to DPDO
After completion of the identification, labeling, and packing of the
waste materials, the originator shall obtain authorization from DPDO to
deliver the materials directly to one of the DPDO's hazardous waste
storage areas. A DPDO representative will meet the originator at the
storage area and accept the waste by signing the DD Form 1348-1. If
special transport, handling equipment, or other services are required
from the Transportation Squadron, these arrangements will be made by the
originator.
39
VIII. NEW WASTE SOURCES
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
This section describes the procedures for forecasting and planning to
manage new waste disposal loads.
A. Notification
Prior to programming and planning a new project, all KAFB organizations
and tenants must submit a completed AF form 813, Request for
Environmental Impact Analysis, to OEEV. Contractors and subcontractors
will provide information on the form through their sponsoring tenant or
Base organization. A sample form is shown as Figure 5. The form must
include a forecast of the chemical and/or POL wastes which will be
generated by the project. Waste container specifications and special
handling and/or disposal considerations must also be included. OEEV will
consult with TRTC and then advise the project manager (waste originator)
of the containers necessary to package of the proposed wastes and the .
disposal procedures. The originator may be required to negotiate the
packaging and handling costs with the on call packaging contractor, if
the waste quantities are large. DEEV may waive the fee requirements of
this section if, in tr.eir judgment, the project will not generate a
significant cost to properly handle the waste.
40
IX. PERSONNEL TRAitHHG PROGRAM
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
This section describes the personnel training program necessary to ensure
proper handling of wastes on the Base and to comply with the Federal and
· State hazardous waste regulations.
A. Responsibility and Scope
1. Training Manager
The DEEV will act as training overseer. The DEEV's competence is based
on the knowledge of hazardous waste regulations, this plan, and training
received from onand off-Base seminars conducted by governmental or private
business organizations. Training seminars for on-Base personnel will be •
cond~cted by DPCT with assistance from DEEV, Base Safety, Fire Department,
Bioenvironmental Engineering, DPDO, and Transportation Squadron.
Originators shall provide on-the-job training as necessary.
2. Training Participants
Waste generating organizations, tenants, contractors, and subcontractors
will send their responsible persons and alternates to the on-Base train
; ng program. The responsible persons from the organizations parti cipat
ing in this OPLAN, as listed in Section III, will also attend the
training session.

l. Job Descriptions
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
The responsible person and the alternate at the originating organization
and participants in this OPLAN will have a written description of their
hazardous waste responsibilities and training requirements in their job
description. KAFB Organizations and tenants along with DPCT, are
responsible for the job descriptions.
2. Records
A record of the initial, periodic, and on-the-job training received by
the participants in this Plan will be maintained as part of the indivi
dual's personnel record. This record will be maintained for as long as
the hazardous waste facility is in operation or until at least three
.years beyond when the employee's responsibilities no longer include
hazardous waste management. The records, or summaries, shall be readily
available for review by DEEV, and inspectors of EPA or the New Mexico EID.

X. WASTE ANALYSIS
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, IJM 87117
This section describes the procedures for sampling and identifying the
composition of unknown wastes, to facilitate disposal.
A. Unknown Wastes
1. The composition of wastes which have not been tracked by the
record keeping procedures outlined in this OPLAN shall be sampled and
analyzed before the product will be turned-in to DPDO. The originator is
responsible for the analysis and the laboratory results must be submitted
with the turn-in documents. If the Air Force Occupational and Environ
mental Health Laboratory cannot provide this service, then the originator
\"fill have to contract with an outside laboratory for the analysis.
Originators may contact the SGPB for assistance in collecting the sample
and having it analyzed. EPA approved analytical methods shall be used.
The originator has the following options in identifying the constituents
of the hazardous \"taste:
a. If the originator knows the general contents of the \·taste
and and can get a good feel the percentages (within 5%), he can use this
infomation in lieu of laboratory analysis (NOTE: Segregation of waste
aids in this type of identification).
b. If the originator has no idea what the waste is (perhaps
the waste is old or has just turned up in his work area) or whether or
not it is hazardouz, he should consult with SGPB on proper sanpling
techniques.
44
1606th Air Base Hing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
c. If the originator knows the general contents of the
waste, but has no feel for the percentages of the various constituents,
then he should ask the SGPB to take a sample and obtain a definitive
waste analysis. The originator must also provide a list of the known
constituents.
2. The originator \'Jill continue to use the waste identification
obtained as directed above on all wastes from the same process unti 1
either (1) his work process changes or (2) a check analysis perfonned by
a TSO facility (on or off-site) shows a discrepancy in the identification.
If a discrepancy is found, the originator may ask SGPB for a new sampling
and analysis. If the work process changes, the originator can rely on
one of the options of the previous paragraph to obtain new identification
infonnation. The originator will also formally notify DPDO whenever the
work process (and hence the waste cha racteri sti cs) change.
B. Test Sampling Methods
Methods for sampling unkno\'m hazardous waste products shal 1 be in
accordance with Appendix 1 of Part 261 of EPA Regulations, as given below:
1. Extremely viscous 1 i qui d--ASTM Standard 0140-70 crushed or
powdered material--ASTM Standard 0346-75 soil or rock-like rnaterial--ASTM
Standard 0420-69 Soi 1-1 ike materi al--ASTM Standard 01452-65.

D.C. 20460. (Copies may be obtained from Solid Waste lnfonnation, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, 26 W. St. Clair Street, Cincinnati, Ohio
54268).
4. Liquid waste in pits, ponds, lagoons, and similar
reservoirs--"Pond .Sampler" de~cribed in "Test Methods for the Evaluation
of Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods."
Test methods shall be in accordance with EPA standard test methods for
the particular material being analyzed. Further details of sampling and
analysis methods are provided in Appendix C of this OPLAN.

XI. EMERGENCY RESPOt-JSE
A. Scope
l 606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
The timely and effective response to spills or mishaps involving
hazardous materials and wastes is mandatory in order to provide counter
measures which will eliminate or reduce the possibility of exposure and
contamination of people and resources. This section is aimed at provid
ing the procedures, i nstructi ans, and management structure to achieve
this end.
B. Response Actions
KAFB has developed plans for response to disasters of all types. There
are Air Force Regulations {AFR 93-2), an Oil and Hazardous Substances
Pollution Contingency Plan and a Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure Pl an ( SPCC) \-Jhi ch address the specifics. The KAFB SPCC is
the primary plan for response to all emergency/contingency conditions
involving hazardous material, chemicals, petroleum products, or wastes of
this nature on-base.
C. Arrangements for Outside Emergency Services
The facilities of KAFB are considered adequate to fight fires and provide
other emergency services for on-base emergencies. Cooperative agreements
-47-
l 606th Air Base Wing (MAC} Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
between KAFB and the City of Albuquerque exist for mutual aid in the
event of a major fire, ambulance, or hospital crisis.
D. Facility Emergency Coordinator
The emergency coordinator or his alternate will be available at all times
to coordinate emergency response measures. At KAFB, ·this coordinator
will not necessarily be the on-scene coll'lllander of the spill response •
team~ but will be a direct advisor to the on-scene commander.
E. Emergency Equipment
Emergency response equipment will be made available as listed bel0\'1; for
any spill on-base.
1. Area 600, AFWL Projects

waste or hazardous material facility wi 11 be reported irnrnedi ately through
the SPCC Plan. In any such mishap where human health may be endangered,
evacuation of the facility and possibly even surrounding facilities must
be accomplished. The following procedures should aid in detennining when
and how facilities should be evacuated. 49
l606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 8 7117
1. Spill response by Facility Operators
a. Notify all fellow personnel to evacuate the facility by
activating the fire alarm if spill involves any of the following:
- Fire
- Explosion
- Violent chemical reaction
- Noticeable gases.
2. Evacuation of Additional Areas
a. Immediately upon reporting to the spill scene or entry
control point, the on-scene commander of the spi 11 response team wi 11
determine if additional evacuation is required. The on-scene cor.inander •
will.also make the determination if evacuation is required at any time
during the cleanup effort.
b. Should the on-scene commander detenni ne that off-base
personnel may become endangered he should immediately notify local
authorities through Security Police.
3. Emergency Reporting Requirements for Off-Base Evacuation
Once the on-scene commander has detennined that areas outside the
facility should possibly be evacuated because of a threat to human health
or the environment and local authorities have been notified, he must
ensure completion of the following:
a. The on-scene commander or his representative must
remain available to help appropriate officials decide whether local areas
should be evacuated.
b. Notify the National Response Center (24-hour toll free
number is 800/424-8802) with the following information:
- ~Jame and telephone n1.m1ber of reporter;
-50-
1606th Air Base Wing {MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
- Name and address of facility;
- Time and type of incident;
- Name and quantity of material(s) involved, to the
extent known;
The extent of i nj uri es, if any; and
- The possible hazards to human health, or the
environment, outside the facility.
G. Post Emergency Procedures
1. Cleanup
Once the emergency condition is over, the on-scene commander or emergency
coordinator will ensure that all emergency equipment is cleaned and fit
for its intended use. No additional wastes will be accepted at the site
of the emergency until these cleanup procedures have been co~pleted.
(The EPA Regional Administrator, and the appropriate state and local
authorities must be notified that the cleanup has been accomplished
before wastes can be accepted again.)
2. Reports
The facility operator must note in the operating record the time, date,
and details of any incident that requires implementing the contingency
plan. Within 15 days after the incident, he must submit a written report
on the incident to the EPA Regional Administrator and the State. The
report must include:
-51-

close of a project, whichever comes first, the originator will turn-in
all waste from the collection point to OPDO according to the procedures
described in this OPLMJ. The same procedure will be followed by DPOO in
the event of a closure of KAFB. Consequently, there will be no remaining
wastes on the Base and no further closure plan is required.
B. DPOO Storage Facilities
The DPDO storage facility is not for tenninal storage. Surplus hazardous
substances and wastes should be removed for recycling or disposal within
a maximum of one year. At the time of storage site closure, all wastes
will be recycled or removed by an off-Base service contractor and disposed
of at EPA permitted sites. Any contaminated soil or other materials at-?,. '~
the storage area will also be collected and disposed of at a permitted / . site. The estimated costs of closure other than packaging,
transportation, and disposal should not exceed $7,000.00. The financial
53
1606th Air Base Wing (MAC) Kirtland Air Force Base, NM 87117
resources necessary to close the storage site are expected to be within
the nonnal operating budget of DPDO. No special financial security
arrangements are required to prepare for closure. After closure, records
of the receipt and di sp.osi ti on of waste materials wi 1l
be retained for at least three years by DPDO. A certification must be'
placed in the Land Title or registry of deeds that there are no residual
chemicals at the site.

APPENDIX B
TRAINING PROGRAM
TRAINIIJG PRaiRAM
1. OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE WORKER TRAINING
Al 1 personnel including contractors and subcontractors working at oi 1 and hazardous substance sites must take part in periodic spill prevention and response (SPR) training programs (40 CFR 112.7,
. 264.16, 265.16, proposed 40 CFR 125. 104, 151.7). The SPR Plan must designate the major features of the training program and, at a mini mum, require that each worker be familiar with the fo 11 owing information as it applies to his/her work area:
o The heal th effects of exposure to the oi 1 and hazardous substances present.
o Applicable first aid procedures to be used following exposure.
o Protective equipment requirements and how to use and maintain the equipment.
o Evacuation procedures, if required (40 CFR 264. 16, 265. 16).
o Combustibility of spill material and potential for flashback along vapor trai 1 s.
o Applicable fire fighting procedures and special hazards of combustion products (40 CFR 264.16, 265.16).
o Reactivity of spill material with common materials including water.
o The use and maintenance of all alarms and monitoring equipment that impact on spill prevention and response (40 CFR 264. 16, 265. 16).
o Initial general spill response procedures as described in the SPR Plan. TI1e training should also include the use of site-specific contingency plans and where the plans are kept (40 CFR 112.7, 264.16, 265.16, proposed CFR 151.7).
o Immediate spill response actions including the location of pump controls and valves to stop spill flows and the location and use of fire extinguishers, sorbents, neutralizing agents and other immediate spill response procedures, as appropr-1ate l4o CFR 112.7, 264. 16, 265. 16, proposed 40 CFR 151.7).
o The many aspects of visual inspection, as described in Section 3.2 . of this document, that a worker can perform as part of a daily
routine. This is not designed to replace the requirements for detailed inspections.
B-1
· o TI1e purpose and requirements of good housekeeping.
o The ~se of the SPR Plan. Tryis should include the legal requ1rements that resulted 1n the plan, the spill prevention aspects of the plan, the spill response organization including the function of the SRT, the designated spill response procedures and the locations where spill response equipment are stored (40 CFR 112.7), proposed 40 CFR 151 .7).
The training program, as just described, should consist of fonnal classroom training, on-the-job training, spill exercises, or preferably a combination thereof. In many instances, this training can be combined with other training programs such as fire or safety. It is essential, however, that the portion of the training required by the SPR Plan be conducted by someone familiar with oil and hazardous substance spill prevention and response, and hazardous waste management (40 CFR 264. 16, 265.16). The Spill Corrmittee and Environmental Protection Committee, in combination with supervisory personnel from the respective oil and hazardous substance sites, are recommended to give the training. Records of the type, extent, and frequency of each employee's training must be kept until closure of the applicable hazardous waste site or until three years after the date the employee last worked at the site (40 CFR 264.16, 265.16). The training of personnel working for Air Force contractors and subcontractors should be designated the responsibility of the contractor or subcontractor in all applicable contracts.
The frequency of training programs must also be designated in the SPR Plan and, minimally, they must be conducted as follows:
o Once per year for all personnel working on, or in close proximity to, oil and hazardous substance sites {40 CFR 112.7, 264.16, 265.16, proposed CFR 151.7).
o Within six months for all personnel starting in a position with direct supervision (40 CFR 264.16, 265.16). Within two weeks recommended.
o Before starting work for personnel entering an unsupervised position {40 CFR 264.16, 265.16).
o After revision of training requirements in applicable laws.
o After significant modification to oil and hazardous substance processes, or spill prevention and response procedures (SPR Plan).
o After a spill response in which deficiencies in training were noted.
o When directed by the Spill Committee or the Environmental Protection Committee.
B-2
2. OIL ANO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE SPILL RESPONSE TEAM (SRT) TRAHJING
All base organizations and personnel designated pursuant to this document to be part of the spill response team must take part in periodic spill response training programs (40 CFR 264. 16, 265. 16). The training requirements must be designated in the SPR Pl an and consist of both general training requirements for all members of the SRT and detailed training specifically structured for the individual SRT members.
The general training should consist of the applicable laws; base responsibilities; Department of Defense and USAF policies; the potential hazard to personnel; property and the environment from spill events; the use of the OHSSPR Plan; the designated responsibilities of member organizations; and the general response procedures.
The detailed training should be specifically structured for members of each response organization and address the following:
o The responsibilities of the individual organization being trained.
o The detailed spill response procedures to be followed in the event of a spill.
o The location and use of spill response equipment. This should include training with existing equipment and familiarity with manufacturer• s recommended procedures and design limitations. An example of the latter would be the compatibility of protective clothing with a spill material.
o. The potential health and fire hazards associated with spill response activities. This should include mechanisms for obtaining this infonnation such as the CHRIS manual of CHEMTREC.
The training should consist of classroom training and spill exercises. The frequency of the training programs, at a minimum, should be on an annual basis. New SRT members should be given a copy of the SPR Plan and briefed when they are assigned to the team.

WASTE SAMPLING PROCEDURES*
2. Adjust sampler's locking mechanism to ensure that the stopper provides a tight closure. Open sampler by placing stopper rod handle in the T-position and pushing the rod down until the handle sits against the samp1er's locking block.
3. Slowly lower the sampler into the waste at a rate which pennits the level of liquid inside and outside the sampler to remain the same. If the level of waste in the sampler tube is lower inside than outside, tHe sampling rate is too fast and will produce a non-representative sample.
4. When the sampler hits the bottom of the waste container, push sampler tube down to close and lock the stopper by turning the T-handle until it is upright and one end rests on the locking block.
5. Withdraw COLIWASA from waste and wipe the outside with a disposable cloth or rag.
6. Place sampie tube at mouth of a container and discharge sample by slowly opening the sampler.
SCOOP AND SHOVEL - GRANULAR OR POWDERED MATERIALS
1. Clean sampler.
2. Obtain a ful 1 cross sec ti on of the waste material with the scoop or shove 1 large enough to contain the waste co 11 ected in one cross section sweep.

WASTE ANALYSIS PROCEDURES*
1 . FOOl Through FOOS Wastes:
{a) Tes~ Parameters and Methods:
1. Flash point analyzed in accordance with Pensky-Martena Closed Cup Tester - ASTI~ Standard D-93-79.
2. Di sti 11 ation Analysis - accomplished through actual distillation or through automated gas chromatography providing boiling point profi 1 e.
3. Solvent Concentration - using Standard Methods or SW-846 (MS, GC, IR, etc.) the waste will be analyzed for the specific solvent contaminants identified on the label and TIO.
{b) Rationale for Parameter Selection:
l. The flash point and distillation or boiling point profile will verify that the waste is a halogenated or non-halogenated solvent and can be safely stored.
2. Analyzing for specific solvents will ensure that the material is grouped in the appropriate EPA Hazardous Waste Number.
2. F003 and F009 Wastes:
(a) Test Parameters and Methods:
l. Cyanides - using Standard methods or SW-846.
2. Metals {particularly Cd and Ag) - using EP Toxicity Test Procedure (40 CFR 261, Appendix II).
{b} Rationale for Parameter Selection: The cyanide analysis will verify .the presence of cyanide and how the waste should be stored. The metal analysis will identify the additional toxic contaminants most likely to be present.
* See "Test Methods for the Evaluation of Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, 11 SW-846, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Solid Waste, Washington, D. C.
C-2
3. 0001 Wastes:
(a) Test Parameters and Methods:
1. Ignitability - analyzed in accordance with the DOT methods.
2. Solvents - analyzed in accordance with Standard Methods or SW-846.
(b) Rationale for Parameter Selection:
l. The ignitability test will determine whether or not the waste meets this characteristic and where it may be stored.
2. The solvent analysis is needed because the solvents in FOOl through F005 are the 1 i sted wastes most 1 i kely to contaminate petroleum products.
4. 0002 Wastes:
(a) Test Parameters and Methods:
1. pH analyzed in accordance with Standard Methods.
(b} Rationale for Parameter Selection:
1. The corrosive wastes anticipated are aqueous acids and bases. The pH test will ensure these wastes are stored in Group 1-A (bases) or Group 1-B (acids).
5. 0003 and FOO? Wastes:
(a} Test Parameters and Methods:
1. Cyanides and pH - analyzed in accordance with Standard Methods or SW-846.
(b) Rationale for Parameter Selection:
1. The only waste materials anticipated in this category requiring storage are those containing cyanides. The pH and cyanide analyses will identify how the wastes can be stored.
6. 0006 Wastes:
(a) Test Parameters and Methods:
1. Ep Toxicity for cadmium using the EP Toxicity Test procedure.
(b) Rationale for Parameter Selection:
