Category A waste streams consist of wastes that were processed through an on-site
<br />wastewater processing unit and discharged to a publicly owned treatment works. Major
<br />Category A waste streams were identified for California Waste Codes (CWCs) that
<br />consisted of five percent or more of Category A and Category B waste streams combined.

<br />Category B wastes streams include all other hazardous wastes except for extremely
<br />hazardous waste streams. Major Category B waste streams were waste streams that
<br />consisted of five percent or more of the total Category B wastes streams.

<br />Category C waste streams were all the routine extremely hazardous waste streams. Major
<br />Category C waste streams were CWC -identified waste streams that consisted of five
<br />percent or more of the total Category C waste streams.

<br />As mentioned above these DOE sites are primarily research and development facilities.
<br />Each site generally contains many small laboratories that conduct academic research.
<br />The research projects vary in duration and span a wide variety of areas. In contrast to
<br />manufacturing facilities or continuous processes, the waste generated is varied and
<br />sometimes in small quantities. Therefore, even though this document breaks down the
<br />waste streams based on CWC, as required by the regulations, the quantities of waste
<br />within one waste code category could be from many different locations and dissimilar
<br />processes. Because of the nature of work at the sites, it is not always economically
<br />feasible to try to implement source reduction measures for every process that generates a
<br />portion of the identified major waste stream. This document identifies those processes
<br />that generate major portions of the waste within an identified major waste stream and
<br />evaluates source reduction opportunities for the waste generating process.
<br />Many of the activities that generate hazardous waste under a specific CWC are from
<br />different processes, as well as from many different users. To help focus on reducing
<br />major hazardous waste streams in a systematic approach, SLAC applied the Pareto
<br />Principle to filter out its larger waste -generating departments associated with major waste
<br />streams. The Pareto Principle helped identify the top 20 percent of the SLAC
<br />departments that generated 80 percent of the hazardous waste. The top waste -generating
<br />departments were given additional review to determine how they contributed to the
<br />generation of the major waste stream.
<br />If there were many small generators of a given major waste stream, consideration was
<br />also given to providing a generalized measure that could apply to all of these generators,
<br />rather than trying to be process, operation, or activity -specific.
<br />The Plan part of this document is organized by CWC; and where possible the common
<br />information about a particular CWC for different sites has been described in one section.
<br />The CWC -specific sections include the following information:
