C7.2.40. Waste. Any substance, material, or object that the waste generator (producer)
discards, intends to discard, or is required to discard, including material sent for recovery. Waste
is classified according to its origin as either urban (municipal) waste or as special waste, and is
further sub-classified as hazardous waste or as non-hazardous waste. A complete list of waste
streams with the corresponding Waste Code is provided in the USEUCOM Waste List.
C7.2.41. Waste Generation. The act or process of producing waste.
C7.2.42. Waste Generator. A generator is considered to be the entity, whose processes or
actions generate waste.
C7.2.43. Waste Loading and Unloading Register. A specific and dedicated log book, kept
at the installation, used to record all waste transfers, which includes all onsite “loading”
operations (i.e., data on waste temporarily stored at the site including waste code, amount and
date of storage) and all “unloading” operations undertaken at the site (i.e., data on waste shipped
off-site for disposal/recovery/recycling, including waste code, amount shipped, date of transport,
and name of waste carrier). Waste collected by the municipality is not required to be recorded
on this waste register.
C7.2.44. Waste Manifest. A specific form used to track the shipment of special waste from
its point of origin to its point of disposal.
C7.2.45. Waste Storage Area (WSA). A permitted area (different than a TWSA) where the
storage of waste (both hazardous and/or non hazardous) occurs prior to disposal through any
activity listed in Appendix B.2 or recovery activity listed in Appendix B.3. Special waste may
be stored no longer than one year at a WSA unless otherwise specified in the permit. A WSA
site shall be permitted via the Italian Base Commander, in accordance with the procedures
established in Chapter 1 (see C7.3.6.4).
C7.2.46. Waste Treatment. Any method, technique, or process, designed to change the
physical, chemical, or biological characteristics or composition of any waste so as to render such
waste non-hazardous, or less dangerous to the persons exposed or to the environment; safer to
transport, store, or dispose of; or amenable for recovery, amenable for storage, or reduced in
volume. (Note: Sterilization of medical waste at the waste-generating medical facility is not
classified as treatment.
