oversight, however this minor oversight<br />
can turn into big problems for the installation.<br />
Here are some reasons to keep the<br />
dumpster lids closed.<br />
The Code of Federal Regulations requires<br />
that all solid wastes be stored in a manner<br />
that does not constitute a fire, health or<br />
safety hazard, provide food or harborage for<br />
wild life, <strong>and</strong> that solid wastes be contained<br />
or bundled so as not to spill.<br />
“Leaving dumpsters open attracts<br />
pests who are seeking food scraps,” said<br />
Bob Ostrea, Nellis Solid Waste program<br />
manager. “It also violates the requirement<br />
that solid wastes be contained.”<br />
Nellis is considered a municipality<br />
<strong>and</strong> must conform to the State of Nevada<br />
Division of Environmental Protection<br />
requirements. According to the Nellis<br />
Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer<br />
System License, Nellis is required to<br />
develop <strong>and</strong> adhere to a Storm Water<br />
Management Plan. The plan requires<br />
Nellis to develop a process for controlling<br />
running water <strong>and</strong> excess waste that<br />
enters the base.<br />

open dumpster lids can hurt installation<br />
A trash bag inside a dumpster on base.<br />
95<br />
good housekeeping control measure,<br />
we’re required to keep dumpster lids<br />
closed,” said John Roe, Nellis Water<br />
Quality program manager.<br />
“On the occasions it rains, the lids prevent<br />
rainwater from entering the dumpster.<br />
This is important to prevent an accidental<br />
release of the collected water, which could<br />
enter the storm water system.”<br />
Wind-borne trash detracts from base<br />
appearance <strong>and</strong> creates an additional<br />
work load for all who have to collect <strong>and</strong><br />
properly dispose of the trash.<br />
“Due to Nevada’s strong winds, which<br />
can lift trash out of the dumpster <strong>and</strong><br />
blow it about the base, it is important to<br />
ensure garbage lids are closed,” Ostrea<br />
said. “If that happens, wind-borne trash<br />
could reach the flightline <strong>and</strong> cause damage<br />
to aircraft engines.”<br />
All it takes is a couple moments to flip<br />
the lid to the closed position. It is up to<br />
all members of the installation to ensure<br />
Nellis, Creech, <strong>and</strong> Nevada Test <strong>and</strong><br />
Training Range remain in compliance<br />
with all Nevada regulations <strong>and</strong> their<br />
appearance is kept up.<br />
