ENVIRONMENTAL FINAL GOVERNING STANDARDS ITALY

ITALY - 6 Hazardous Waste
C6.3.8.2.5. Waste transfers from a HWAP to a TWSA or WSA shall be recorded
in the TWSA or WSA log book, on a DD 1348, or other appropriate document. The HWAP
does not need to maintain a waste log.
C6.3.8.3. Temporary Waste Storage Area (TWSA)
C6.3.8.3.1. TWSAs must be designed and operated to provide appropriate
segregation for different waste streams, including those that are chemically incompatible. A
TWSA does not need a permit as long as the following conditions are met:
C6.3.8.3.1.1. The waste shall not contain polychlorodibenzodioxines and/or
polychlorodibenzofurans and polychlorodibenzophenols ≥ 2.5 ppm, nor PCBs and/or PCTs ≥ 25
ppm. The waste containing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) listed in Appendix B.6 shall be
managed in compliance with technical standards governing the storage and packaging of
hazardous substances (please refer to Chapter 5, “Hazardous Materials”).
C6.3.8.3.1.2. DoD installations shall select and indicate in their management
plan one of the following two methods for managing hazardous waste temporarily stored in all
the TWSAs within its physical boundaries:
C6.3.8.3.1.2.1 The volume of the waste shall not exceed 10 m 3 (353.14 ft 3 ) at
any one time and waste may not be stored for more than one year; or
C6.3.8.3.1.2.2 The temporary storage of the waste shall not exceed three months
(irrespective of the volume of waste stored). The duration may be extended to one year if the
temporary deposit is located on a small island.
C6.3.8.3.1.3. Each TWSA will have warning signs (appropriate Italian or
international signs, or National Fire Protection Association signs) appropriate for the waste being
accumulated at that site.
C6.3.8.3.2. When storage limits in C6.3.7.3.1 have been reached, the generator
must have the waste removed for disposal or moved to a WSA. To initiate the waste removal,
installations must submit all appropriate turn-in documents (e.g., DD Form 1348-1A) to
appropriate DoD authorities responsible for removing the special waste (e.g., DLA Disposition
Services) or prepare the waste manifest when using an Italian–permitted company.
C6.3.8.4. Waste Storage Area (WSA)
C6.3.8.4.1. Waste Acceptance. Prior to accepting hazardous special waste, the
WSA manager shall:
C6.3.8.4.1.1. Inspect the waste to ensure it matches the description provided
C6.3.8.4.1.2. Ensure that no waste is accepted for storage unless a HWPS is
provided, or available and properly referenced
C6.3.8.4.1.3. Obtain a new HWPS from the generator if there is reason to
believe that the process generating the waste has changed
