housing units. Food waste from restaurants, military dining halls, Exchanges, or any other public
activity is classified as special non-hazardous waste, unless Municipalities classify such special
waste as urban waste (see Commercial Urban Waste).
C7.2.11. Hazardous Waste. Any waste identified as hazardous in the USEUCOM Waste
List or presenting 1 or more hazardous properties and containing constituents in concentrations
at or above the thresholds listed in Appendix B.1. Refer to Chapter 6, “Hazardous Waste.”
C7.2.12. Hazardous Waste Generation. Any act or process that produces hazardous urban
or special waste as defined in this document.
C7.2.13. Inert Waste. A sub-category of special or urban waste that does not undergo any
significant physical, chemical or biological transformations. Inert waste will not dissolve, burn or
otherwise physically or chemically react, biodegrade or adversely affect other matter with which
it comes into contact in a way likely to give rise to environmental pollution or harm human
health. The total leachability and pollutant content of the waste and the ecotoxicity of the
leachate shall be insignificant, and in particular not endanger the quality of surface water and/or
groundwater.
C7.2.14. Landfill. Disposal site for the deposit of the waste onto or into land (i.e.,
underground), including:
C7.2.14.1. Internal waste disposal sites (i.e., a landfill where a generator of waste is
carrying out its own waste disposal at the place of production); and
C7.2.14.2. Permanent sites (i.e. operating longer than one year) which are not used for
temporary storage of waste,
but excluding:
C7.2.14.3. Facilities where waste is unloaded in preparation for further transport for
recovery, treatment or disposal elsewhere; and
C7.2.14.4. Storage of waste prior to recovery or treatment for a period < three years as a
general rule; or
C7.2.14.5. Storage of waste prior to disposal for a period < one year.
C7.2.15. Landfill for Inert Waste. Landfill specifically designed to accept only inert waste.
C7.2.16. Landfill for Non-hazardous and Non-reactive Hazardous Waste. Landfill
specifically designed to accept non-hazardous waste (including waste containing mineral fibers;
waste containing gypsum; waste with a dry-substance content not lower than 25%; waste whose
leachate meets established standards) and stable, non-reactive hazardous waste whose leachate
meets established standards and whose Total Organic Compounds concentration is lower than
5%).
C7.2.17. Landfill for Hazardous Waste. Landfill specifically designed to accept only
hazardous waste (including hazardous waste with a dry-substance content not lower than 25%,
