C7.3.6.3.1. DoD installations shall select one of the following two methods for
managing non-hazardous special waste temporarily stored at TWSAs within its physical
boundaries:
C7.3.6.3.1.1. Volume Limited TWSA. Waste can be stored for up to 1 year
if quantities ≤ 30 m 3 (1,059 ft 3 ), of which ≤ 10 m 3 (353.14 ft 3 ), shall be for hazardous waste ; or
C7.3.6.3.1.2. Time Limited TWSA. Waste exceeding the quantities specified
in C7.3.6.3.1.1 may only be stored for a period of up to three months. The duration may be
extended to one year if the temporary deposit is located on a small island.
C7.3.6.3.2. Installations shall indicate in their waste management plan which of
the two methods is being used for each TWSA.
C7.3.6.3.3. TWSAs will comply with the storage limits in C7.3.6.3.1. When these
limits have been reached, the generator must have the non-hazardous special waste removed for
disposal or have it moved to a WSA. Arrangements must include submission of all appropriate
turn-in documents to initiate the removal (e.g., DD Form 1348-1A) to appropriate DoD
authorities responsible for removing the special waste (e.g., DLA Disposition Services) or
preparation of the waste manifest when using an Italian-permitted company.
C7.3.6.4. Waste Storage Area (WSA)
C7.3.6.4.1. The operation of WSAs shall be permitted. Installations that intend to
operate a WSA shall provide the Italian Base Commander with sufficient information to seek a

Commander shall include:
structures, etc.)
C7.3.6.4.1.1. Name and address of generator/generating activity(ies)

C7.3.6.4.1.4. Other documents if requested by the Italian Base Commander
C7.3.6.4.2. Non-hazardous special waste may be stored up to one year in a WSA,
unless otherwise prescribed in the permit. When these limits have been reached, the generator
shall have the special waste removed. Arrangements must include submission of all appropriate
turn-in documents to initiate the removal (e.g., DD Form 1348-1A) to appropriate DoD
authorities responsible for removing the waste (e.g., DLA Disposition Services) or preparation of
the waste manifest when using an Italian-permitted company.
C7.3.6.5. Non-Hazardous Special Waste Disposal
C7.3.6.5.1. Special Waste Treatment. All special waste treatment (recycling,
