Statement of Fact • <br /> Defense Depot Tracy <br /> Page 2 <br /> The generation of hazardous waste is attributed to <br /> laboratory testing waste, discontinuation of supply <br /> items, spillage, breakage, items exceeding shelf life, <br /> items returned or forwarded from other military <br /> installations, and those wastes generated during the <br /> normal operation and maintenance of the facility. DDTC <br /> is planning to receive hazardous waste from Castle Air <br /> Force Base and may receive hazardous waste from other <br /> military installations in the future. <br /> The facility will have two separate areas for the storage <br /> of containerized hazardous waste. One area is currently <br /> operated and has a maximum capacity of 833 55-gallon <br /> drums. This area is not covered or enclosed. The second <br /> area has not been constructed yet. Current plans are to <br /> have the second storage area completed and operational by <br /> July 1992 . This area will be totally enclosed and will <br /> have separate rooms to segregate incompatible wastes. <br /> The enclosed storage area will have a maximum storage <br /> capacity of 2328 55-gallon drums. <br /> II. Types of Waste <br /> The facility will store the following types of <br /> containerized wastes: petroleum products, spent <br /> solvents, spent acids, paint, and expired <br /> pharmaceuticals. Most of the containers will have a <br /> capacity of 55 gallons or less. <br /> The facility is prohibited from handling or storing the <br /> following types of waste: <br /> A. Wastes in bulk. <br /> B. Forbidden and Class A explosives as defined in <br /> Sections 173 . 51 and 173 .53 , Title 49 , Code of <br /> Federal Regulations (examples: nitroglycerine, <br /> firecrackers, high explosives, ammunition for <br /> weapons or rockets, blasting caps) . <br /> C. Mixed waste which is defined as a waste which <br /> contains both a radioactive component subject to the <br /> Atomic Energy Act and a hazardous component that is <br /> either listed as a hazardous waste in Subpart D of <br /> 40 CFR Part 261 or exhibits any of the hazardous <br /> characteristics identified in Subpart C 40 CFR <br /> Part 261. <br />
