• f. Material identification procedures are designed to meet the operational requirements of handling, storage, hauling, and treatment/ disposal at TSDF. Material not identifiable by product documentation will require sampling and testing. Waste from certain operations (e.g. , Sand Blasting Operation) are tested periodically to determine the characteristic profile of the waste. This topic is covered more in depth in Section V. 3. Supervision of Public Facility to Ensure the Presence of an Attendant During Operating Hours. - The operations at the Sharpe' s storage facility are not open to the public; therefore, this item is not applicable. B. Control of Hazardous Waste in General The discussion and control of hazardous wastes in general is divided into three topics. These topics focus on operational procedures, methods of collection and disposal of rinse waters from decontamination, and procedures to minimize fire and explosion potential . 1. Operational procedures for control of hazardous waste in general are described in the following six sections. a. Wastes are placed inside designated areas per the following operational procedure. • (1) Waste generated to the extent feasible will be identified and properly containerized prior to moving them to the HWF (Building 605 or 530) . Reference Section VIII .B.l .a and Section V. If not feasible, this will be accomplished in the staging area of building 605. (2) The HWF manager will coordinate all loading and unloading of hazardous waste to ensure it is properly placed. The HWF manager has been trained and has received a federal government license to operate material handling equipment (e.g. , forklift) of up to 15,000 lbs. in the event that an operator is unavailable when a load is delivered to the HWF (Building 605 or 530) . (3) The hazardous waste received is temporarily stored in the staging area while final documents are prepared. The HWF manager or person under his direct supervision moves waste inside the enclosed storage area and places it in its designated area (see Figure VII-4) . Placement of material is accomplished in accordance with procedures described in Section VIII .C.1.g and U.S. EPA Publication EPA-600/2-80-076, A Method for Determining the Compatibility of Hazardous Waste, Assuring Compatibility of Wastes in Storage. The sources of hazardous waste generated at Sharpe are discussed in Section V. (4) Hazardous waste documents are then processed by the HWF manager for transfer of the material from Sharpe' s HWF (Buildings 605 and 530) by Defense Reutilization Marketing Office (DRMO) contractor to approved • Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) facility.
