This handbook is issued under the authority of KMI 8800.8B, "KSC
Environmental Management," to provide all Kennedy Space Center (KSC)
organizational elements with waste management guidance consistent with
federal, state, and local regulations and applicable NASA directives.
General and specific waste management procedures covered include
training, accumulation, storage, and contingency plan requirements for
hazardous, controlled, and solid waste, and industrial and domestic
wastewaters. This handbook includes the Waste Minimization Program for
the preservation of environmental and economic resources at KSC.

The user will find management instructions for a particular waste by
using the handbook index and the instructions provided below:

1\. For information on the proper waste management procedures, locate a
particular waste type in the handbook index. The code to the right of
the entry will direct the user to the appropriate section(s) of the
handbook.

2\. For waste types not listed in the index, the user must first contact
that organization\'s NASA Environmental Coordinator for assistance. If
the applicable section(s) of the handbook cannot be located, the NASA
Environmental Coordinator should contact the Waste Management Authority
(WMA) for proper guidance.

3\. In all instances, users should apply the information found in this
handbook as specifically directed by the organization\'s NASA
Environmental Coordinator and according to the organization\'s internal
procedures.

**\
Garbage:** All kitchen and table food waste, and animal or vegetative
waste that is attendant with or results from the storage, preparation,
cooking, or handling of food materials.

> **Hazard Waste Determination:** Process required by 40 CFR 262.11 to
> determine if a waste must be managed as a hazardous waste. This
> determination is provided to the waste generating organization by the
> Waste Management Authority (WMA) in a technical evaluation of the
> waste.

**Hazardous Waste:** Wastes defined by 40 CFR 261.3 and Florida
Administrative Code (FAC) Chapter 62-730 as hazardous due to
characteristics or generating process and that if improperly disposed
could cause a threat to human health and the environment. Examples of
hazardous wastes are spent solvents, fuel and oxidizer wastes, ignitable
paints, acids, and toxic lab reagents.

**Industrial Wastewater (IWW):** Nonhazardous wastewater not otherwise
defined as domestic wastewater, including the runoff and leachate from
areas that receive pollutants associated with industrial or commercial
storage, handling, or processing.

**Environmental Coordinator:** An individual representing a KSC
Directorate, a contractor, subcontractor, or other permanent or
temporary KSC organization designated as a primary point-of-contact for
all organization environmental compliance matters or activities.

**Nonfriable Asbestos-Containing Material:** A material containing more
than 1 percent asbestos that when dry cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or
reduced to powder by hand pressure. Nonfriable asbestos-containing
material can become friable if crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to
powder by mechanical means such as sanding or grinding or by demolition.

**Petroleum Contact Water (PCW):** Water containing petroleum products.
Examples of Petroleum Contact Water are petroleum tank condensate,
drawdown water removed from petroleum storage tank systems, water with
visible petroleum sheen

> from petroleum tank storage spill containment and secondary

**SECTION 2. [HAZARDOUS AND CONTROLLED WASTES]{.underline}**

2.1 **Overview**

Information about the general management of hazardous and controlled
waste is provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5. Waste generator requirements
in the sections for waste identification and disposal support are
identical for both hazardous and controlled wastes. Separate waste
generator standards applying to the management of hazardous and
controlled wastes are addressed in Sections 2.6 and 2.7. Information
about solid waste and industrial and domestic wastewater is provided in
Sections 3 and 4. The hazardous waste management process has been
reviewed and approved by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection. See Appendix 1.

2.2 **Excess Hazardous Material**

All unused excess hazardous material will be fully reviewed for
utilization potential and processed through the KSC property disposal
system before disposal as a waste.

**Note:** Materials must be in the original container and unopened to be
considered for excessing.

**\*** The following information should be sent to the NASA Property
Disposal Officer.

a\. Standard form 1428 (one line per form).

> b\. A brief narrative explaining the reason for the excess and any
> improvement action initiated.
>
> c\. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
>
> d\. Container size and type.
>
> e\. Estimated weight of the material (including container) in
> kilograms.
>
> f\. Associated waste if previously disposed of as waste.
>
> g\. Primary point-of-contact.

Product information will be entered into the KSC Excess Chemical Product
Screening List. This will allow other organizations to screen the
material for potential use. If a user is located, the material will be
exchanged using the appropriate property transfer procedures.

After screening, the initiator will be notified in writing if the
hazardous material should be transferred to the Reutilization,
Marketing, and Recycling Facility (RMRF) at Ransom Road for further
processing.

The waste generating organization must complete and submit a Process
Waste Questionnaire (PWQ) according to Section 2.4 if the material is
rejected for utilization and must be managed as a waste. The PWQ must
include a notation that the material was unsuitable for utilization
pursuant to current excess procedures. A quarterly report will be
provided by the WMA, which identifies unused chemical products, which
have been managed as hazardous and controlled waste.

2.3 **Abandoned Waste**

All appropriate personnel must be aware of the requirement for
management of abandoned waste at KSC.

> a\. Upon discovery of an abandoned waste, the organization whose
> facility the waste was abandoned at will assume the lead for the
> appropriate disposition of that waste.

**\*** b. Every effort will be made by the affected

> organizations, the Waste Management Authority (WMA), and the KSC
> Environmental Program Branch (EPB) to determine the generator of the
> abandoned waste. The generator, if found, will assume the immediate
> lead for the appropriate disposition of the material.

**\*** c. Waste abandoned away from facilities in isolated locations
will be considered a pollution incident and reported to the KSC EPB who
will initiate an incident investigation.

2.4 **Waste Identification**

Organizations generating wastes that cannot be directly disposed
according to Sections 3 and 4 of this handbook must identify their
wastes by submittal of PWQs as shown in Figure 1. PWQs are submitted to
J-BOSC Environmental Services for evaluation on behalf of the KSC WMA.
The

> evaluation process is administered at KSC specific to each waste
> generating organization. **Every effort should be made to ensure that
> PWQs are submitted prior to actual waste generation with sufficient
> lead-time for completion of the evaluation process**. This forethought
> and planning are conducive to waste minimization efforts and ensures
> the materials will be properly managed upon generation and initial
> accumulation. In those instances when waste properties cannot be
> projected prior to generation, the containers must be labeled
> "Hazardous Waste Determination in Progress" pending completion of the
> waste evaluation process.

**Figure 1. Waste Identification Flow Chart**

> The PWQ must be thoroughly completed according to the instructions.
> Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and generator's knowledge of the
> waste components should be used whenever possible to project the
> likely characteristics of the waste material for PWQ completion.
> Incomplete PWQs will be returned to the waste generating organization
> for any additional information needed to complete the evaluation.
> Incomplete PWQs delay the waste evaluation process. Waste generating
> organizations may also be asked to identify any Underlying Hazardous
> Constituents (UHCs) that may be present in the waste stream. A PWQ
> addendum may be issued to the waste generating organization for
> disclosure of the UHCs. A PWQ form (KSC Form 26-551) and completed
> TRPs (hazardous and controlled) are provided in Attachments A and B as
> examples.
>
> The waste generating organization must provide the following
> information on the PWQ as stated on the form instructions:

a\. Description of the waste generating process.

> b\. Chemical composition of the virgin chemicals used in the
> operation. Technical information can be obtained from MSDS, labels, or
> technical literature.
>
> c\. Constituents of the process waste. If these constituents cannot be
> identified from available literature, a chemical analysis must be
> obtained. This is the responsibility of the waste generating
> organization.
>
> d\. Quantity of waste produced and the anticipated frequency of
> disposal support required.
>
> e\. Anticipated process changes that could alter the chemical
> character or volume of the waste.
>
> f\. For unused materials, the PWQ must be annotated that the materials
> were unsuitable for reutilization pursuant to current excessing
> procedures. See Section 2.2.

Generated hazardous or controlled wastes should be segregated into
different waste types unless consolidation has been authorized by the
WMA. Commingling of waste types could cause safety and environmental
hazards, increase the quantity of hazardous waste generated, and
increase disposal costs.

> The WMA will provide a Technical Response Package (TRP) to the waste
> generating organization that includes a hazard determination as
> required by 40 CFR 262.11 and instructions for the proper
> containerization, labeling, marking, and manifesting of the waste.
> "Hazardous Waste Determination in Progress" labels (see Attachment C)
> should be removed upon receipt of the TRP and replaced with those
> specified in the TRP instructions. The TRP details the regulatory
> waste management requirements and incorporates best management
> practices. Each TRP has an assigned waste process code that identifies
> the waste. TRPs will be revised to comply with new regulations,
> internal policies or directives, operational procedures, or
> contractual requirements. A NASA Environmental Coordinator can forego
> PWQ submittal and reissue a TRP for new waste streams generated by
> their organization if the new waste stream conforms to that previously
> described on an existing PWQ and corresponding TRP.
>
> Waste World Online, a J-BOSC Internet Website, has been developed to
> give waste generating organizations the most current TRPs, regulatory
> information, and guidance documents. The site facilitates electronic
> document transfer and helps meet paper use reduction and waste
> prevention goals. It can be accessed through the KSC Internet home
> page under contractor listings.

2.5 **Waste Pickup and Disposal Support**

> a\. **Generator Procedures:** Support for pickup of hazardous and
> controlled waste is initiated by the waste generator or waste
> generating organization. The waste generator will be provided with
> waste pickup and disposal support by using the following steps:

\(1\) **Determine if the waste meets the TRP description:** Generator
knowledge or chemical analysis may be used in this determination. If the
waste does not meet the TRP description, a new PWQ must be submitted to
the WMA for evaluation (see Figure 1).

\(2\) **Provide a waste support request to the J-BOSC Duty Office
(861-5050 or fax 867-9466):** These requests are commonly faxed to the
**J-BOSC** Duty Office. Only those containers specified on the waste
support request will be considered for pickup support - additional
containers **MAY NOT** be added

at pickup time. An example of a waste support request is provided as
Attachment D.

\(3\) **Prepare a KSC Hazardous Waste Manifest** **(KSC Form 26-541):**
Use the TRP information to complete this document. The waste generator's
signature on this form certifies that all information is correct. This
form is used for both hazardous and controlled wastes. See Attachment E.

4.  **Store waste in an authorized container:** Waste must be placed in
    a container authorized by the TRP. New, unused drums, or drums that
    have been properly reconditioned according to 49 CFR 173.28(c)
    should be used. Any alternate container authorization obtained
    through the WMA must be specified in the waste support request.

5.  **Verify proper container labels and markings:** Labeling and
    markings must be consistent with information provided on the TRP.
    The waste process code, found on the TRP, should be marked in the
    left-hand margin of the hazardous waste label (KSC form WM6P). See
    Attachment F.

b\. **Container Acceptance Procedure:** Pickup support personnel will
sign the KSC Hazardous Waste Manifest indicating acceptance of the waste
for transport. The manifest, waste labels, markings, and container
condition must be consistent with guidance from the applicable TRP and
requirements of this section. One copy of the manifest will be provided
to the waste generator. Manifests should be retained by the waste
generator as a best management practice. The waste will be removed from
the waste accumulation area once this process has been completed.

c\. **Container Refusal or Return:** The WMA reserves the right to
refuse or return nonconforming wastes to the waste generator. Specific
refusal reasons will be noted on the manifest at the time of the
attempted waste pickup. A copy of the manifest will be provided to the
waste generator for transmittal to that organization\'s NASA
Environmental Coordinator. Resolution of the nonconforming condition(s)
is the responsibility of the waste generator.

Wastes may be refused at the waste container pickup location for the
following reasons:

\(1\) Containers show signs of deterioration, bulging, or other
condition that might compromise the integrity of the container.

\(2\) Manifest information is incomplete or inconsistent with the
applicable TRP.

\(3\) Labeling or marking is inconsistent with information provided by
the applicable TRP.

> Waste containers are re-inspected upon arrival at the designated KSC
> storage facility. Containers may be periodically opened for visual
> inspection of the contents. Any discrepancy will be noted on the KSC
> Hazardous Waste Manifest (block 21). The containers may be retained at
> the TSDF for correction, or returned to a designated accumulation site
> managed by the generator for pickup preparation under the conditions
> of a proper TRP. In no case will any container be returned or
> transported from the TSDF if there is an imminent potential for
> personnel safety or health risks. If returned, the waste will be
> accompanied by the annotated KSC Hazardous Waste Manifest. Wastes may
> be returned to the waste generator for reasons listed above.
> Off-specification wastes returned to the WMA from off-site disposal
> facilities may also be returned to the waste generator.

2.6 **Hazardous Waste Generator Standards:** Hazardous wastes are
managed according to regulations found in 40 CFR Part 262, Part 265 (by
reference), and Chapter 62-730, Florida Administrative Code (FAC).
Examples of hazardous wastes include ignitable paints, acids, hydrazine
spill residues, and spent solvents. In addition to the requirements
addressed in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, waste generator standards are
provided below for the proper management of hazardous waste.

**\*** a. **Hazardous Waste Accumulation and Storage Sites**

> Individual generation sites at KSC include 90-day accumulation and
> satellite areas. The waste generating organization must identify the
> sites to the KSC EPB, TA-C. Notification of new accumulation or
> storage sites must also be provided to **J-BOSC** Fire Prevention
> (867-3072, SGS-186) who will provide guidance regarding fire
> prevention measures and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
> requirements.

\(1\) **90-day Accumulation Area:** Common collection points where
wastes are accumulated in containers or tanks. The following
requirements apply:

\(a\) **Accumulation Start Date (ASD):** For new waste streams, the ASD
is the completion date of the hazard determination as recorded by the
WMA on the PWQ in Block N. The ASD begins the date hazardous waste is
first added to an accumulation container for all succeeding batches of
that waste. Variable process wastes that can exhibit hazardous or
nonhazardous characteristics must be marked with the HWDIP label until
chemical analysis is completed. If hazardous, the analysis completion
date serves as the ASD.

The hazardous waste label (KSC Form WM6P) provides a space for recording
the ASD and must be marked with indelible ink.

**\*** (b) **Storage and Accumulation Time Limit:** Hazardous wastes may
be stored or accumulated at a 90-day accumulation area for no more than
**90 days**. This applies to waste stored in containers or tanks.
Documentation must be kept to show that accumulation tanks are emptied
at least once every 90 days. When calculating the 90-day accumulation
period the waste generating organization or waste generator will include
the day that waste was first introduced into the container (ASD) as day
one and add 89 days to this date.

The waste generator has the responsibility for requesting pickup of the
hazardous waste within the 90-day accumulation time limit

using procedures outlined in Section 2.5. It is recommended that the
support request be submitted by the 75th accumulation day to provide
scheduling flexibility and to resolve pickup discrepancies, if
necessary. If unforeseen temporary or unavoidable circumstances prevent
pickup within the 90-day time limit, the waste generating organization
must provide a written 30-day extension request to the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) through the KSC EPB. This
extension request should be made at least five days before the
expiration date and should include information on the type of hazardous
waste, accumulation start date, and reason for the extension.

\(c\) **Marking Requirements:** Containers and tanks must be marked with
the words \"HAZARDOUS WASTE." Hazardous waste label KSC Form WM6P must
be used for this purpose. Other labels or markings as indicated on the
TRP for the waste stream must also be placed on the container during
accumulation and storage. Additional descriptive labels or markings may
be placed upon the container during accumulation or storage if removed
prior to pickup for disposal.

\(2\) **Satellite Areas:** Waste collection areas at or near the point
of generation where small quantities of hazardous waste are initially
accumulated. The following requirements apply:

\(a\) **Volume Limit:** More than one satellite container for each
process or waste stream can be stored if the volume does not exceed **55
gallons for each waste stream.** For acutely toxic waste streams (EPA
waste code with "P" prefix), only one (1) quart rather than 55 gallons
may be stored.

\(b\) **Accumulation Start Date (ASD):** The ASD shall be marked on the
waste container label when the waste container is moved from the
satellite accumulation area to a 90-day accumulation area or permitted
storage

facility. The date a container is moved from the satellite area becomes
the ASD for that container.

\(c\) **Storage and Accumulation Time Limitations:** The waste container
must be moved to a 90-day accumulation area or permitted storage
facility within three days once 55 gallons of waste or 1 quart of
acutely toxic waste is accumulated.

\(d\) **Management and Control:** The container must be under the
control of the operator of the process generating the waste. The waste
container must be within visual sight of the operator or within fifty
feet of the process generating the waste.

\(e\) **Marking Requirements:** Containers and tanks must be marked with
the words \"HAZARDOUS WASTE\" on a hazardous waste label (KSC Form
WM6P). Other labels and markings as indicated on the TRP for the waste
stream must also be placed on the container during accumulation.
Additional descriptive labels or markings may be placed upon the
container during satellite area accumulation but must be removed prior
to pickup for disposal.

**\*** (f) **Exemption Process:** Site-specific exemptions from
satellite area requirements may be granted by the KSC EPB on a
case-by-case basis.

b\. **Inspections**: Waste generators must inspect 90-day accumulation
areas at least weekly for waste releases, availability and condition of
safety equipment, structural damage, proper operation of security
devices, and deterioration of containers caused by corrosion or other
factors. Additional inspection requirements for tanks are found in
Section 2.6,c, (2), (c).

\(1\) **Specific Inclusions:** Inspections must, as a minimum, include
the following specific items:

-   Check that area-warning signs are present, unobstructed, and
    legible.

-   Check for spillage and signs of physical damage to the containers.
    Containers must not have severe rust, visible pitting, flaking, or
    beaded metal. Dents or creases should not be present that compromise
    the integrity or significantly alter the original shape of the
    container. Paint shall not be applied to obscure damage.

-   Check drum bungs and lids for tightness. Drum lids and bungs should
    be closed when not in use.

-   Check the label for the accumulation start date and verify that the
    date is not near the 90-day accumulation limit.

-   Check for a properly completed hazardous waste label.

-   Check operability of fire suppression equipment for ignitable and
    reactive wastes. Verify sources of ignition are absent and No
    Smoking signs are conspicuous.

-   Check that incompatible and reactive wastes are segregated by a
    physical barrier to prevent adverse reaction in the event of a spill
    or leak.

-   Check proper aisle space for container inspection and unobstructed
    access in the event of emergencies.

-   Check that communication equipment for emergency instruction and
    summoning emergency assistance is operable.

-   Check that spill control materials are available.

-   Check operability of safety shower and eyewash, if applicable.

-   Check that the contingency plan is current, posted, and has been
    provided to Fire, Occupational Health, and Security organizations.

\(2\) **Record keeping:** The waste generator must document the weekly
inspections and note actions taken to correct deficiencies. An
inspection log or summary

must be kept by the waste generator and maintained for at least three
years from the inspection date. Include the following:

-   Location.

-   Inspector\'s name (printed and signed).

-   Date and time of inspection.

-   Deficiencies and actions taken.

-   Number of hazardous waste containers.

\(3\) **Assessments:** Periodic assessments will be conducted by the KSC
EPO to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and KSC policy as
reflected in this handbook for facility operations and waste generator
documentation.

c\. **Container and Tank Requirements**

\(1\) **Container Requirements**: Waste generators accumulating
hazardous wastes in containers of 110 gallons or less must comply with
the packaging requirements identified in the TRP for that waste stream.
Waste generators must comply with the following container requirements
for 90-day accumulation and satellite areas.

\(a\) **New or Reconditioned Containers**: New, unused containers or
reconditioned containers must be used for the accumulation of hazardous
waste. Stainless steel drums used only for accumulation and storage of
fuel and oxidizer wastes may be reused for the same commodity without
rinsing or reconditioning.

**\*** (b) **UN Specification Performance-Oriented Packaging
Standards:** Containers must meet UN specification performance-oriented
packaging standards unless otherwise authorized in 49 CFR 173. The
appropriate standards for each waste stream are included in the TRP.
Exceptions to TRP packaging references may be provided by the WMA
through **J-BOSC**

Environmental Services (867-8642) on a case-by-case basis.

c.  **Bulging Containers**: Some waste streams may cause a container to
    bulge. A bulging container shall be placed into an over pack. The
    outer drum must be marked \"**SALVAGE DRUM**." No absorbent or
    packing material is required unless leakage has occurred. Wastes
    that have consistently bulged containers may have over pack
    requirements specified in the TRP. All over packs must also be
    labeled and marked as required for that waste stream by the TRP. As
    a safety precaution, a notation on the outer container should be
    made to alert personnel of potential hazards, for example "Bulging
    Container Inside."

\(d\) **Container Condition**: Containers must be kept in good condition
and free of rust and corrosion. Deteriorated containers shall be over
packed or have the waste transferred to a new container.

\(e\) **Labeling and Marking**: Labeling and marking information is
given in the TRP. Temporary or incorrect labels ("Empty," "Hazardous
Waste Determination In Progress") must be removed when the known status
of the waste changes such as upon receipt of the TRP or laboratory
analysis, or upon adding waste to a drum.

The following are examples of **incorrect** labeling:

-   Striking-out or writing-over any information or entries on hazardous
    waste labels such as ASD, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
    waste codes, or the DOT proper shipping name.

-   Covering a preexisting label with a new label. If a label must be
    changed, the preexisting label must be removed first.

-   Adding labels or information that conflicts with the labels required
    by the TRP.

-   Labels placed anywhere other than the top third of the drum.

-   Hazard class labels placed farther than six inches from the
    hazardous waste label.

\(f\) **Empty Containers**: Empty containers that are located in
satellite and 90-day accumulation areas must display an "EMPTY" label.
Empty containers of oxidizer or fuel rinsate, which are returned to the
generator for reuse, shall have "EMPTY" labels, placed over the bung.
Labels must be placed on the upper third of the container and be plainly
visible when the container is stored. Pallets of containers or large
numbers of containers can be labeled as a group if they are secured
together.

\(g\) **Emission Controls:** Containers storing hazardous waste must be
closed at all times except during addition, removal, or transfer of
waste material. Funnels, aerosol puncturing devices, and closures (e.g.
bungs and lids) will be considered closed if installed hand tight so
that the gasket contacts the seat and no waste will spill or leak if the
container is tipped. Visual inspections must be performed for holes,
gaps, or open spaces that may allow volatile emissions to escape to the
atmosphere. Containers may be equipped with safety relief valves that
open periodically to relieve excess pressure. Closures will be seated
"wrench tight" prior to pickup for disposal.

\(h\) **Fill Limits:** Waste containers must not be filled completely
and adequate headspace must be provided to prevent seepage or bulging
due to expansion. Specific fill limits for performance-oriented
packaging are included in Attachment G. Additionally, certain TRPs

include specific fill limits to facilitate handling.

\(2\) **Tank Requirements:** Regulations for management of tank systems
can be found in 40 CFR 265, Subpart J. Wastes accumulated in tanks will
be transferred to a vendor tanker truck or transferred to appropriate
containers by the WMA for disposal or reclamation. Waste generators who
manage hazardous waste in tanks must comply with the following
requirements:

\(a\) **Tank System Assessment:** Waste generating organizations storing
hazardous wastes in new or existing tank systems must obtain a written
assessment reviewed and certified by an independent qualified,
registered professional engineer. The assessment must attest to the
tank\'s structural integrity and acceptability for storing or treating
hazardous waste.

\(b\) **Secondary Containment:** Tanks accumulating hazardous wastes
must be equipped with a secondary containment system according to 40 CFR
265.193.

(c) **Inspections:** The waste generator must inspect the following
    items at least once each operating day:

-   Overfill or spill control equipment.

-   Possible tank corrosion, secondary containment deterioration, or
    releases of waste.

-   Data from monitoring equipment.

Documentation of these inspections must be maintained by the waste
generator and made available when requested.

\(d\) **Labeling and Marking:** Tanks containing hazardous waste must be
labeled as hazardous waste (KSC Form WMP6).

\(e\) **Emission Controls:** The following controls must be used to
minimize the release of volatile organic emissions according to 40 CFR
265 Subpart CC for those waste streams containing greater than 500 ppm
Volatile Organic Constituents.

These controls meet requirements for level 1 tank controls as found in
Subpart CC:

-   Tank must be equipped with a fixed roof.

-   Each opening in the fixed roof must be equipped with a closure
    device or vented by a closed vent system to a control device.

-   A pressure-vacuum relief valve may be used to maintain internal
    pressure within tank specifications and to avoid an unsafe
    condition. The valve may be vented to the atmosphere but must remain
    in the closed position when not venting.

-   The maximum organic vapor pressure must be determined for the
    hazardous waste being accumulated to ensure that the pressure does
    not exceed the limits specified for tank control level 1.

-   Tank defect repairs subject to Subpart CC must be started within
    five days of the discovery of the defect and completed within 45
    days of discovery.

-   Hazardous waste transfers from one tank to another tank must be
    performed in a closed system. However, transfer from a tank to a
    container of 119 gallons or less need not be performed in a closed
    system.

d\. **Personnel Training**: Personnel with waste management
responsibilities must complete a program of classroom instruction and
on-the-job training that teaches them how to accomplish their duties to
ensure compliance with this handbook and 40 CFR 265.16. This training

program must be completed within **six months** of assignment to waste
management responsibilities and before performing unsupervised work.
Personnel must also take part in an annual review of this training.

\(1\) **Training Topics**: Training programs should include, at a
minimum, the following topics:

\(a\) Emergency procedures.

\(b\) Emergency equipment.

\(c\) Emergency systems.

\(d\) Procedures for using, inspecting, repairing, and replacing
facility emergency and monitoring equipment.

\(e\) Key parameters for automatic waste feed cutoff systems.

\(f\) Communications or alarm systems.

\(g\) Response to fires or explosions.

\(h\) Shutdown of operations.

\(2\) **Examples of Personnel Requiring Training (including, but not
limited to):**

\(a\) Waste generator representatives.

\(c\) Hazardous waste accumulation site points-of-contact.

\(3\) **Recordkeeping**: The waste generating organization must ensure
that the following documents concerning personnel training are
available:

\(a\) Job titles and names of employees filling each job.

\(b\) Description for each job title that includes hazardous waste
management duties.

\(c\) Description and type of initial and continuous training.

\(d\) Verification that training has been completed.

\(e\) Records for these items must be maintained on current employees
for the duration of their employment until three years after the date
they last performed hazardous waste activities.

e\. **Preparedness and Prevention**: The following applies to all 90-day
accumulation area locations unless it can be shown that hazards
associated with the accumulating waste preclude specific requirements:

\(1\) **Required Equipment**

\(a\) Communications and alarm system that can provide immediate
instruction (voice or signal) to facility personnel.

\(b\) Communication device such as a telephone or a two-way radio must
be locally available to summon emergency assistance.

\(c\) Portable fire extinguishers.

\(d\) Fire control equipment.

\(e\) Spill control equipment.

\(f\) Decontamination equipment.

\(g\) Safety shower and eyewash.

\(h\) Water at adequate volume and pressure to supply water-hose
streams, foam producing equipment, automatic sprinklers, or water spray
systems.

\(2\) **Testing, Maintenance, and Familiarization**

\(a\) All communications or alarm systems and decontamination equipment
must be tested and maintained.

\(b\) Waste generators, facility employees, security staff, and KSC
emergency response teams must be familiar with:

-   Facility layout.

-   Hazardous waste properties.

-   Employees' work locations.

-   Evacuation routes.

Review and approval of facility contingency plans will accomplish this
requirement.

\(3\) **Incompatible Waste Storage**: Incompatible wastes stored in the
same facility must be separated with a dike, wall, or berm so that
incompatible waste will not mix as a result of an unplanned release.

f\. **Contingency Plans:** Waste generators who accumulate hazardous
waste at 90-day accumulation areas must have a contingency plan. The
plan describes actions to be taken by facility personnel in response to
fires, explosions, or releases of hazardous waste or its constituents.

\(1\) **General Information**

\(a\) The plan must be designed to minimize hazards to human health or
the environment from fires, explosions, or any unplanned release of
hazardous waste or constituents to the air, soil, or surface water.

\(b\) The provisions of this plan must be carried out immediately if a
release occurs.

\(c\) An existing emergency or contingency plan may be amended to
incorporate hazardous waste management provisions to comply with this
requirement, such as amending a Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure (SPCC) plan.

\(2\) **Requirements**

\(a\) A current list of names, addresses, and phone numbers (office and
home) of all persons designated as a facility emergency contact. Where
more than one person is listed, one must be named as primary contact and
the others must be listed in the order they will assume responsibility
as alternates.

\(b\) A list of all emergency equipment including a description of each
item's capabilities. The list should include fire control equipment;
spill control equipment, communication and alarm systems, and
decontamination equipment.

\(c\) An evacuation plan describing signals for area personnel to begin
evacuation, evacuation routes, alternative evacuation routes, and
marshaling areas.

\(d\) The KSC emergency phone number 911.

\(f\) A copy of the plan must be posted external to the 90-day
accumulation area and in plain view. A copy of the contingency plan must
be submitted to **J-BOSC** Fire Services.

\(3\) **The plan must be reviewed and amended whenever:**

**\*** (a) Applicable regulations are revised or instructions are
received from the KSC EPB or the WMA.

\(b\) The plan fails in an emergency or emergency exercise.

\(c\) The facility changes in its design, construction, operation,
maintenance, or other circumstance in a way that materially increases
the potential for fires, explosions, or releases of hazardous waste or
changes the response necessary in an emergency.

\(d\) The list of facility emergency contacts is changed.

\(e\) The list of emergency equipment is changed.

An example contingency plan form is provided in Attachment H.

g\. **Emergency Protocols**

\(1\) **Facility Emergency Response Contact Responsibilities**: Whenever
there is an imminent or actual emergency the observer, facility
emergency contact, or designee must immediately:

\(a\) Activate internal facility alarm or communication system to notify
all facility personnel.

**\*** (b) Activate the "JHB 2000, Consolidated Comprehensive Emergency
Plan (CCEMP), by calling 911 if the incident is beyond the capabilities
of trained facility personnel to manage or poses an imminent threat to
human health or the environment.

\(2\) **Procedures During an Emergency**:

\(a\) The facility emergency contact or waste generator must take all
reasonable measures necessary to ensure that fires, explosions, and
releases do not occur, recur, or spread to other hazardous waste at the
facility.

\(b\) Immediately after an emergency, the facility emergency contact or
waste generator must take any necessary action to effect proper
management of recovered waste, contaminated soil, surface water, or any
material that results from a release, fire or explosion.

\(c\) During emergency response operations activated through the
"Emergency Preparedness Plan," the incident commander, hazardous
materials response team, and spill cleanup team responding to the
incident will assume responsibilities for all decisions relating to the
management of the incident and cleanup of spilled hazardous materials.
Wastes generated from these emergency response operations will be left
onsite to be managed

by facility personnel according to the procedures in this handbook.

\(3\) **Incompatible Waste 90-day accumulation Requirements**: No waste
that may be incompatible with released materials may be staged until
cleanup procedures are completed.

\(4\) **Emergency Equipment Maintenance**: All emergency equipment
listed in the contingency plan must be cleaned and fitted for its
intended use before operations resume.

**\*** (5) **Pollution Incident Reporting:** The facility emergency
contact or waste generator must comply with the pollution incident
notification requirements according to KHB 8800.6 "KSC Environmental
Control Handbook."

h\. **Waste Minimization Program**: KSC must reduce the volume and
toxicity of hazardous wastes to the extent economically practicable. All
personnel will adopt this practice in day-to-day operations and are
encouraged to introduce new ideas concerning waste minimization
opportunities to management. This program provides policy for waste
minimization as required by section 3002(b) of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments of 1984 and section 6602(b) of the Pollution Prevention Act.

\(1\) **Waste Minimization Program Elements:**

> \(a\) **Top Management Support**: Top management for each waste
> generating organization can show support of waste minimization efforts
> by using these techniques:

-   Incorporate waste minimization as an integral part of organizational
    strategies to increase productivity and quality.

-   Set Centerwide goals for the reduction of both volume and toxicity
    of waste streams consistent with those established by the KSC EPO.

-   Commit to implementing recommendations identified through
    assessments, evaluations, and waste minimization teams.

-   Designate a waste minimization coordinator who is responsible for
    facilitating effective implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of
    the program.

-   Publicize waste minimization success stories and recognize
    individual and group waste minimization accomplishments.

-   Raise employee awareness of the waste generating impact that results
    from daily operations and work procedures.

\(b\) **Characterization of Waste Generation and Waste Management
Costs:** The WMA tracks types and amounts of waste generated at KSC and
the direct costs associated with waste disposal. True costs of waste
management include additional costs of regulatory compliance oversight,
reporting requirements, cost of labor and materials, employee exposure
and health care, liability insurance, and possible corrective action
costs. These costs also affect the economic practicability of waste
minimization activities.

\(c\) **Periodic Waste Minimization Assessments**: Each waste generating
organization should perform process or facility assessments to identify
opportunities at all points in a process where materials can be
prevented from becoming a waste. These waste minimization opportunities
should be analyzed based on true costs associated with management of the
waste.

\(d\) **Encourage Technology Transfer:** Many useful and valid waste
minimization techniques can be shared within waste generating
organizations and among other waste generating organizations. Functions
at KSC, such as the KSC Environmental Working Group,

provide a forum for sharing these technologies and techniques.

\(e\) **Program Implementation and Evaluation:** Recommendations
developed through process assessments, evaluations, and waste
minimization teams should be scheduled and tracked through
implementation. All KSC waste generating organizations should monitor
the overall effectiveness of waste minimization activities in relation
to waste minimization goals. The WMA will help these efforts through
distribution of periodic reports on the amount of hazardous waste
generated and the associated direct disposal costs.

\(2\) **Management Options (in order of preference):**

\(a\) **Prevention Through Source Reduction:** Source reduction is the
practice of reducing the amount of hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants entering any waste stream or otherwise released into the
environment before recycling, treatment, or disposal. Source reduction
reduces or eliminates the hazards to employees, the public, and the
environment along with the liability of regulatory compliance. Several
source reduction techniques are listed below.

-   **Initial Environmental Design:** Incorporation of environmental
    considerations into the initial process or facility design to limit
    or prevent pollution or waste generation from occurring.

-   **Process Efficiency Improvement:** Changes to a process or facility
    to reduce requirements for hazardous substances, pollutants, or
    contaminants.

-   **Material Substitution:** Substitution of nonhazardous or less
    hazardous materials into a process to reduce the toxicity of the
    resulting waste stream.

-   **Inventory Control:** Control of hazardous materials in inventories
    to promote efficient use and to avoid shelf-life expiration and
    waste generation. Emphasize issuing only the quantity of a material
    needed for the job. Turn in unused materials as excess by using
    instructions found in KHB 4000.1, "Supply Support System Manual" as
    referenced in Section 2.2.

-   **Preventive Maintenance:** Designing equipment for maintainability
    can result in detection and avoidance of equipment problems before
    failures and associated spills and leaks of hazardous materials
    occur.

-   **Improved Housekeeping:** A clean, well-organized facility and
    awareness by personnel regarding the proper management and use of
    toxic and hazardous materials can greatly reduce the amount of
    accidental spills, releases, and subsequent waste generation.

\(b\) **Recycling:** Recycling is the most preferred method of waste
minimization for those hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants
that cannot be reduced at the source. Recycling is the practice of
using, reusing, or reclaiming a waste material. A waste material is used
or reused if it is employed as an ingredient in an industrial process to
make a product or employed in a particular function or application as an
effective substitute for a commercial product. A waste material is
reclaimed if it is processed to recover a usable product or regenerated.
Waste materials such as CFC-113 and silver from Photo processing wastes
are reclaimed at KSC.

\(c\) **Treatment:** Treatment options should only be employed when
wastes cannot be prevented or recycled. Treatment is any method that
physically, chemically, or biologically changes the character or
composition of the

waste; recovers energy or material resources from the waste; renders the
waste nonhazardous or less hazardous; reduces the volume of the waste;
renders the waste safer for transport, storage, or disposal; or makes
the waste amenable for recovery or storage. Treatment opportunities for
hazardous wastes at KSC may be referenced in TRP instructions (example:
neutralization of corrosive wastes).

\(d\) **Disposal:** Disposal is the discharge, deposit, injection,
dumping, spilling, leaking, or placing of a waste into or on land or
water or into the air so that hazardous constituents may enter the
environment. No hazardous wastes may be disposed at KSC, except certain
treated wastes that are amenable for disposal in the sewage treatment
works and are approved by the STP operator. Disposal must only be used
when the waste could not be prevented or recycled.

Each KSC waste generating organization will incorporate this KSC Waste
Minimization Program and so certify on KSC Form 26-541 when presenting
hazardous waste for pickup by the WMA. Hazardous waste minimization
activities will be reported to the WMA by January 31 of each even
numbered year for activities conducted the previous year.

2.7 **Controlled Waste Generator Standards**

**\*** a. **General Standards**: Controlled wastes include
petroleum-contaminated soils or debris, certain industrial wastewaters,
nonhazardous used oil and oil filters, asbestos-containing material, and
PCBs. Controlled wastes have been evaluated by the WMA through the
submittal of a PWQ. The waste generating organization is provided with a
TRP with a specific waste process code for management of the waste and
direction for disposal support through the WMA. Waste generating
organizations should use best management practices for the accumulation
and storage of controlled waste. Controlled waste must be accumulated
and stored in containers meeting UN specification

performance-oriented packaging standards as addressed in the applicable
TRP. Site-specific exemptions for use of alternate containers, for
accumulation purposes only, may be granted by the WMA, through
**J-BOSC** Environmental Services (867-8642), on a case-by-case basis.

> b\. **Controlled Wastes Requiring Special Handling**

\(1\) **Polychlorinated Biphenyls**: PCB wastes are managed according to
40 CFR 761. Nonleaking ballasts and small capacitors are managed as
controlled wastes, but are not subject to the special handling
requirements outlined below. Small capacitors contain less than 1.36 kg
(3 lbs) of dielectric fluid or, if the weight is unknown, have a total
volume of less than 1639 cc (100 cubic inches). A capacitor whose volume
is greater than 1639 cc and less than 3278 cc (200 cubic inches) may be
managed as a small capacitor if the total weight of the capacitor is
less than 4.08 kg (9 lbs). The following waste generator standards will
be used for the accumulation and storage of PCB waste material:

\(a\) PCB wastes listed below may be stored temporarily at a waste
generator accumulation site for up to thirty days from the date removed
from service. The container and labeling must comply with the TRP. The
date the PCB item was removed from service must be marked on the
container label. An example of a PCB label (KSC label HWMPCB-2) is
provided in Attachment I.

-   Nonleaking articles and equipment. PCB articles are manufactured
    articles containing PCBs whose surfaces have been in direct contact
    with PCBs. These articles include capacitors, transformers, electric
    motors, and pumps.

-   Leaking articles and equipment placed in nonleaking PCB containers
    with sufficient materials to absorb any liquid PCBs remaining in the
    item. PCB containers are any devices used to contain PCBs or PCB
    articles whose surfaces have been in direct contact with PCBs.

-   PCB containers storing nonliquid PCB wastes such as contaminated
    soil and debris.

\(b\) PCB containers storing liquid PCBs at concentrations of 50 ppm or
greater must be removed from the generator accumulation site to the PCB
storage building (K7-115) within 24 hours from the date the PCB item was
removed from service. This support must be coordinated through the waste
pickup process, Section 2.5, prior to the removal from service date to
allow for waste pickup scheduling and to avoid regulatory violations.

**\*** (2) **Biomedical Waste**: Biomedical wastes include blood
products, body fluids, body parts, nonliquid tissues from humans,
primates, veterinary waste, and discarded sharps that may present a
threat of infection to humans. Biomedical waste is managed according to
regulations established in Chapter 64E-16, FAC. The following
requirements apply:

\(a\) Biomedical waste mixed with a hazardous waste will be managed as
hazardous waste.

\(b\) Biomedical waste mixed with radioactive waste must be managed as
radioactive waste and according to KHB 1860.1, "KSC Ionizing Radiation
Protection Program."

\(c\) Biomedical waste mixed with a solid waste that is not hazardous
waste or radioactive will be managed as biomedical waste.

\(d\) Discarded sharps will be segregated from other wastes.
Accumulation and disposal of sharps will be in a rigid, leak and
puncture resistant container designed for the containment of sharps,
clearly labeled with the phrase and international biological hazard
symbol as described Chapter 64E-16.004(2)(a), FAC and manufactured with
dyes meeting the requirements for the incidental

metals as described in Chapter 64-E16.004 (3)(b)1.b., FAC.

\(e\) Onsite storage of biomedical waste will be in designated areas
away from general traffic flow patterns and accessible only to
authorized personnel.

\(f\) Storage of biomedical waste will not exceed 30 days of
accumulation from the time that the first item is placed into the
biomedical waste container or when a sharps container is full.

\(g\) Biomedical waste bags or containers must be marked with the
accumulation start date and sharps containers must be marked with the
date when the container is full. No KSC label is required for this
purpose.

\(h\) All containers when filled or before reaching the 30-day storage
limit will be tightly sealed. Biomedical waste may not be compacted or
mechanically stressed in a way that compromises the integrity of the
container.

\(i\) Biomedical waste storage areas will be constructed of smooth,
easily cleanable materials that are impervious to liquids. The area will
be free of vermin and insects. Outdoor storage areas will be
conspicuously marked with the international biological hazard symbol and
be secured against vandalism.

\(j\) Biomedical waste generators will maintain on file a bag quality
test report required by 64E-16.004(C), FAC.

\(k\) The biomedical waste generator will maintain a log of amounts of
biomedical waste produced and maintain all biomedical waste management
records for three years.

\(l\) Each person handling biomedical waste or having a reasonable risk
of exposure to infectious materials will participate in a training
program for blood borne pathogens as

defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 29 CFR
1910.1030.

\(3\) **Petroleum Contact Water (PCW):** PCW is wastewater containing a
recoverable petroleum product that is not otherwise managed under the
Used Oil regulations. PCW is managed according to regulations
established in Chapter 62-740.030, FAC. Aboveground PCW storage tanks of
greater than 550 gallons and underground PCW storage tanks of greater
than 110 gallons must be registered with the FDEP. PCW generators must
refer to KHB 8800.6 for PCW tank registration requirements. In addition
to requirements found in the TRP the following generator standards apply
to the management of PCW:

\(a\) Mark the PCW storage container or tank with the date the PCW
accumulation first begins.

\(b\) Keep the container or tank closed and stored in a safe manner.

\(c\) Label or mark the container or tank with the words "Petroleum
Contact Water."

\(d\) Inspect the tank or container weekly for leaks or deterioration
and maintain the associated records for three years.

\(e\) Generators must not store PCW for more than 180 days and document
compliance by maintaining associated inventory records for three years.
This may be accomplished by annotating KSC Form 26-541 with the
accumulation start date and maintaining the return copies for three
years.

\(4\) **Universal Waste**: Certain widely generated hazardous wastes
that can be collected and managed under streamlined requirements found
in 40 CFR 273 and Chapters 62-730 and 62-737, FAC, are known as
Universal Wastes (UW). Waste streams currently included for management
as UW are batteries, mercury-containing lamps and devices, and certain
pesticides. FDEP has adopted the 40 CFR Part 273 provisions of the
Universal Waste Rule under Chapter 62-730.185, FAC, and has EPA
authorization

to add waste streams to universal waste management handling standards.
UW generators are called handlers and must comply with the following
requirements:

\(a\) Handlers must manage UW in a way that prevents releases to the
environment. Nonleaking containers in good condition must be used if the
UW is damaged or leaking. UWs are not required to be stored in a 90-day
accumulation or satellite area, but should be managed in a hazardous
waste accumulation area as a best management practice.

\(b\) UW shall be accumulated for no more than one year. Handlers must
clearly show the length of time that the wastes have been accumulated by
marking or labeling the container with the earliest date that the waste
was generated or received**.**

\(c\) Wastes created from the cleanup of spilled or leaked universal
wastes must be managed under the waste identification process according
to Section 2.4. All handlers must respond appropriately to releases.
Handlers must determine if the residues resulting from releases are
hazardous waste and if they are, manage them under the full hazardous
waste regulations as instructed in the TRP. Any release not cleaned up
constitutes illegal disposal of hazardous waste that may lead to RCRA
enforcement actions. The handler must comply with the pollution incident
notification requirements according to KHB 1870.1 and KHB 8800.6.

\(5\) **Asbestos:** Handling asbestos-containing material for disposal
requires specialized training and adherence to specific procedures as
directed by 29 CFR 1910.1001 and 29 CFR 1926.1101. The removal of
asbestos-containing insulation or pulverizing of asbestos-containing
floor tiles can cause asbestos fibers to become airborne resulting in
serious health risks. **Before attempting to remove or handle any
suspected asbestos-containing materials, the waste generator or waste
generating organization should contact J-BOSC Environmental**

**Health at 867-2400 for guidance**. The Facility Asbestos Management
System (FAMS) contains detailed facility asbestos survey data and can be
accessed from the **J-BOSC** Internet home page. The FAMS information
brochure is provided in Attachment J. The waste generator must refer to
KHB 8800.6, "KSC Environmental Control Handbook" for the procedures and
notification required for asbestos abatement and removal projects.

The following procedures should be used for the containerization and
management of asbestos-containing waste material from miscellaneous
sources:

\(a\) Friable asbestos-containing waste material must be wetted and
placed in leak-tight, double wrapping before placement in a container
such as a 55-gallon steel drum.

\(b\) Nonfriable asbestos-containing waste material, such as floor
tiles, may be placed directly into a waste container such as a 55-gallon
steel drum. Certain nonfriable asbestos-containing waste materials can
release airborne asbestos fibers if the material becomes brittle or is
exposed to extreme situations such as demolition or mechanical
pulverization. In these cases, nonfriable asbestos-containing waste
material should be wetted and double wrapped before placement in
containers.

\(c\) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other equipment used in
the handling and removal of asbestos must also be managed as
asbestos-containing waste material according to guidelines if not
decontaminated.

\(d\) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations
require an asbestos warning label (KSC Form 28-366) on all containers.

\(e\) Waste containers storing asbestos-containing material should be
managed in a secure area such as a 90-day accumulation area as a best
management practice.

\(f\) Asbestos waste shipment records must be maintained by the waste
generator for at least two years.

\(6\) **Used Oil:** Any lubricant that has been refined from crude oil
(or synthetic oil) that has been \"used," and as a result of such use is
contaminated by physical or chemical impurities. Used oil is managed
according to regulations established in 40 CFR 279 and Chapter 62-710,
FAC. The following waste generator standards apply to the management of
used oil:

\(a\) Used oil containers, tanks, and associated piping must be marked
"Used Oil."

\(b\) Used oil containers, tanks, and associated piping must be in good
condition with no severe rusting, structural defects, deterioration, or
leaks.

\(c\) Containers storing used oil must be sealed or otherwise protected
from the weather and stored on an oil-impermeable surface such as
polyethylene sheeting, rigid plastic secondary containment, or
epoxy-coated concrete.

\(d\) Aboveground used oil storage tanks of greater than 550 gallons and
underground used oil storage tanks of greater than 110 gallons must be
registered with the FDEP. Used oil waste generators must refer to KHB
8800.6 for used oil tank registration requirements.

\(e\) If a used oil spill occurs, the waste generator must perform the
following cleanup steps:

-   Stop the release.

-   Contain the released oil.

-   Clean up the spill using appropriate absorbents and manage according
    to the waste identification process in Section 2.4.

-   Contact the **J-BOSC** Duty Office (861-5050) for nonemergency
    support if cleanup is beyond the capability of facility personnel.

-   Dial 911 to activate the "KSC Emergency Preparedness Plan" KHB
    1040.1 Annex K, if the spill poses an imminent threat to human
    health or the environment.

-   Pollution incident notification must be made by the waste generating
    organization according to KHB 8800.6 and KHB 1870.1 requirements.

\(7\) **Used Oil Filters:** Used oil filters are collected and managed
as controlled wastes before recycling according to regulations
established in Chapter 62-710.850, FAC. The following procedures must be
used for the management of used oil filters:

\(a\) Only non-tern plate filters should be managed according to these
guidelines. Tern plated filters contain a lead and tin alloy that may be
required to be managed as a hazardous waste.

\(b\) Used oil filters should be hot-drained of residual oil. The oil
should be collected and managed as a controlled waste.

\(c\) Used oil filters should be crushed, if possible, to reduce volume.

\(d\) Containers storing used oil filters must be sealed or otherwise
protected from the weather and stored on an oil-impermeable surface such
as polyethylene sheeting, rigid plastic secondary containment, or
epoxy-coated concrete.

\(e\) Containers must be labeled "Used Oil Filters."

\(8\) **Radioactive/Mixed Wastes**: Radioactive waste and radioactive
mixed waste must be controlled according to the provisions in KHB
1860.1, "KSC Ionizing Radiation Protection Program." Refer to

Section 5.5 b (7) "Radiation Protection Guides for Radioactive Waste
Disposal**"** on pages 5-27 and 5-28 of that document.

**SECTION 4. [INDUSTRIAL AND DOMESTIC WASTEWATER]{.underline}**

4.1 **Industrial and Domestic Wastewater**

a\. **Industrial Wastewater Disposal**: When managing industrial
wastewater streams the following options should be considered in the
order listed to decide the best way to manage the industrial wastewater:

\(1\) **Reuse and Recycle Systems**: Waste generators should first
attempt to reuse or recycle industrial wastewaters. An example of this
type of reuse and recycle system is the General Services Administration
(GSA) carwash and the M&O vehicle wash system. These systems do not
require FDEP permitting if constructed without relief or overflow to
grade and include a permanent emergency overflow to a permitted domestic
wastewater treatment facility. All other facilities need an FDEP permit.
To verify permit requirements, a KSC Environmental Checklist should be
submitted according to KHB 8800.6.

**\*** (2) **Onsite Disposal to Grade**: This no-permit option can be
used if the waste stream meets all the general restrictions, conditions,
and requirements and falls under one of the defined categories of the
Kennedy Industrial Wastewater Inventory (KIWI) (Attachment T). The waste
generating organization or waste generator must provide information to
the KSC EPB through the organization's NASA Environmental Coordinator on
the industrial wastewater discharge, including volume, discharge site,
timeframe of discharge, etc. for all classes except Class A. This
information will be used by the KSC EPB to approve the discharge and
provide FDEP an update of the inventory as part of the KIWI initiative.
If the waste stream does not meet the exemption categories defined in
the KIWI, permitting or a specific exemption to KHB 8800.6 will be
required.

**\*** (3) **Onsite Discharge to a WWTP**: Discharge to a domestic
wastewater treatment facility or Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) may
be accomplished if the waste stream meets the federal

and local pretreatment standards or is approved by the appeal process as
addressed in the Pretreatment Standards (see Attachment U).

Certain hazardous wastes that meet the pretreatment standards may be
discharged to a domestic wastewater treatment facility or wastewater
treatment plant. This disposal option for hazardous wastes must be
coordinated with J-BOSC Environmental Services, J-BOSC Water and Waste,
and the waste generating organization's Environmental Coordinator. If a
hazardous waste is discharged to the KSC domestic wastewater treatment
system, proper notification as required by 40 CFR 268.7(a)(6), must be
made through the waste generating organization's Environmental
Coordinator.

The following steps will be used by the waste generator for discharge of
industrial wastewaters to the KSC Domestic Wastewater System.

Step 1. Waste generators with waste streams meeting the pretreatment
standards will complete the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Form
(Attachment V) and submit the form to J-BOSC Water and Waste (SGS-071)
through the waste generating organization's Environmental Coordinator.
This provides notification of the commencement and date of discharge to
the domestic wastewater system.

Step 2.

a\. If the waste stream does not meet the pretreatment standard, a copy
of the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Form is sent to J-BOSC Water and
Waste (SGS-071) requesting guidance through the appeal process for
possible discharge to the domestic wastewater system under specific
conditions.

b\. If J-BOSC Water and Waste approves the discharge through the appeal
process the waste stream can be discharged to the KSC domestic
wastewater system if the established conditions are met. These specific
conditions will be shown on the

discharge form returned to the wastewater generator.

c\. If J-BOSC Water and Waste denies the appeal, the waste generating
organization will complete and submit a PWQ to the WMA for evaluation
per Section 2.4.

**Figure 4. Wastewater Disposal Flow Chart**

\(4\) **Offsite Shipment**: Industrial wastewaters determined to be
unsuitable for onsite disposal will be shipped offsite by a
subcontractor for treatment and disposal. The waste generating
organization shall submit a PWQ according to Section 2.4, for management
of the industrial wastewater as a controlled waste.

Industrial Wastewater disposal records must be kept by the waste
generator if specified by FDEP industrial wastewater permits. Examples
of facilities and processes that produce industrial wastewater are:

-   Laboratories.

-   Equipment cleaning processes.

-   X-ray equipment.

-   Contaminated sumps.

-   Cooling towers.

-   Process wastewater.

b\. **Domestic Wastewater Disposal**: Domestic wastewater is disposed of
in one of the following ways:

\(1\) **Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)**: KSC has four WWTPs that can
accept domestic and some industrial wastewater from the facilities on
KSC.

\(a\) WWTP-1 receives the entire domestic and some industrial wastewater
from the Industrial Area, HMF Area, S-Band, and the Visitors Complex
(VC).

\(b\) WWTP-4 receives the entire domestic and some industrial wastewater
from the Launch Complex-39 Area including the Shuttle Landing Facility
(SLF), Saturn V Viewing Facility, Propellants Storage Service Area, and
the Contractors Road Area.

\(c\) WWTP-5 receives the entire domestic and some industrial wastewater
from Launch Complex 39A

minus some peripheral facilities within the PAD complex.

\(d\) WWTP-6 receives the entire domestic and some industrial wastewater
from Launch Complex 39B minus some peripheral facilities within the PAD
complex.

\(2\) **Septic Tank (ST)**: KSC has many septic tanks used for domestic
wastewater treatment only. Some, due to construction date, are grand
fathered and exempt from complying with annual permitting requirements.
Those found within populated areas will be phased out and tied into the
centralized domestic wastewater treatment system as funds become
available. An Environmental Checklist must be submitted according to KHB
8800.6 for all work on septic tanks, including installation, repair,
modification, or closure (abandonment).

\(3\) **Domestic Treatment Plant (DTP)**: KSC has nine DTPs servicing
peripheral sites within or near Launch Complex-39 Pads A and B used
exclusively for domestic wastewater. As funding becomes available, the
DTPs will be connected to the nearest WWTP.

\(4\) **Portable Toilets**: KSC has approximately 150 portable toilets
in use. This number fluctuates during launch activities. Portable
toilets are for temporary use (120 days or less) and domestic wastewater
only. Wastes from these units will be transported to a KSC WWTP for
disposal or, when serviced by an offsite subcontractor, transported
offsite for disposal.

\(5\) **Holding Tanks**: KSC has domestic wastewater holding tanks
installed for temporary use of 120 days or less, unless approved by
Brevard County Environmental Health Services for longer periods. Unless
coordinated with the J-BOSC, wastewater from these tanks must be treated
offsite.

> **New connections to the KSC Domestic Wastewater System are
> accomplished through the KSC Environmental Checklist process according
> to KHB 8800.6.** Examples of facilities that produce domestic
> wastewater are:

-   Facility rest rooms.

-   Cafeterias.

-   Snack bars.

-   Rest room trailers.

-   Food preparation areas.

**KSC SPENT BLAST MEDIA DISPOSAL GUIDANCE**

1.  Purpose

The purpose of the KSC Spent Blast Media Disposal Guidance is to assist
KSC organizations in the proper disposal of spent blast media consistent
with regulations and landfill permit operating responsibilities. This
guidance provides, in more detail, requirements for compliance with KHB
8800.7 and the previously distributed Disposal Instructions for
Nonhazardous Solid Waste matrix.

1.  General Policy Guidelines

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
a.  The KSC/Schwartz Road Landfill (KSC landfill) is permitted for
    operation by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
    (FDEP) under permit #SO05-243090.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
b.  The BOC manages the KSC Landfill for NASA and is responsible for
    ensuring that all waste entering the KSC Landfill complies with FDEP
    regulations and the provisions of the landfill-operating permit.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
c.  Spent blast media that is not a hazardous waste, may be disposed of
    and used as cover material at the KSC Landfill. Accordingly, any
    blast media delivered to the landfill must be as free from other
    materials/debris as reasonably possible.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
d.  The Landfill Operating personnel may refuse to accept any material
    for disposal in the KSC Landfill when there is concern that the
    material may not be acceptable per the permit and KSC policy.
    Refusals shall be reported immediately to the generating
    organization's point of contact (e.g. USA, EG&G, NASA, etc.) by
    telephone.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  Disposal Procedures

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
a.  The generator of "new" spent blast media must submit a Process Waste
    Questionnaire (PWQ) according to the Disposal Instructions for
    Nonhazardous Solid Waste matrix. If the waste is determined
    nonhazardous, the PWQ will be forwarded to the KSC Landfill Engineer
    to coordinate with the generator and the landfill operator for
    disposal.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
b.  With each delivery of spent blast media, a copy of a current
    certification statement, certifying that the material to be disposed
    of in the KSC Landfill is spent blast media and is a nonhazardous
    waste, must be presented to the landfill operator. A photocopy of
    the original certifying statement may be presented for multiple
    deliveries of spent blast media from the same project or source.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
c.  At the request of the landfill operator, a new nonhazardous
    certification statement will be submitted. The KSC Landfill Engineer
    may be contacted at 867-4541. The KSC Landfill Operator may be
    contacted at 861-6200.
