JSC Environmental Compliance Procedural Requirements JPR No. 8550.1A XXXX.X Effective Date: Johnson Space Center • Environmental Compliance Program Expiration Date: Expiration Date: Page Number 3/25/2011 3/25/2016 [Leave Blank] Page 88 of 123 (6) Improvements in housekeeping, maintenance, inventory control and training; g. Perform Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessments (PPOAs) when a potential source reduction practice has been identified; and h. Implement PPOAs (once they are approved by the EO and other necessary stakeholders), and conduct frequent assessments as to the effectiveness of the PPOA. i. Identify any new P2 opportunities on a regular basis. This includes: (1) Keeping accurate and appropriate documentation to measure the success of the PPOA; and (2) Documenting P2 projects that have been implemented, which includes tracking and reporting information and data for annual reporting to NASA Headquarters (HQS) and the TCEQ. 9.4.2 The EO shall: Collect and submit information on JSC's P2 programs to HQS and regulatory agencies, such as the EPA and TCEQ, as requested or required by regulation or management directive. 9.4.3 DLOs shall: a. Establish and implement a methodology for integrating environmental accountability and the P2 hierarchy into day-to-day operations, decision making, and long-term planning; b. Periodically review operations, contracts, specifications and activities under the control of the DLO to determine if pollutants and toxicity of wastes can be reduced; and c. Periodically review the P2 Plans for JSC, EF/SCTF, and EPFOL to ensure awareness of the goals stated within these plans. 9.5 Personnel Training and Certification Requirements It is recommended, but not required for those employees that perform job activities or functions covered by this section (or supervisors) obtain specific training mandated by NASA, Federal, State, or local regulatory agencies. To determine appropriate training requirements, employees shall refer to Section 1.5 of this manual or the environmental website at: http://www6.jsc.nasa.gov/ja/ja13/index.cfm. 9.6 Records and Forms Required records are established on a case-by-case basis for each P2 initiative.

JSC Environmental Compliance Procedural Requirements JPR No. 8550.1A XXXX.X Effective Date: Johnson Space Center • Environmental Compliance Program Expiration Date: Expiration Date: Page Number 3/25/2011 3/25/2016 [Leave Blank] Page 89 of 123 Chapter 10.0 Managing Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) 10.1 Scope Most equipment containing PCBs have been removed from JSC, but the remaining equipment may stay in service for the duration of their useful life, as long as they are managed properly and are not leaking. The requirements in this chapter are generally associated with facility modification, reconfiguration, maintenance, demolition, or disposal of these items. 10.2 Background 10.2.1 Chemical Description Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of organic compounds with 1 to 10 chlorine atoms attached to biphenyl, which is a molecule composed of two benzene rings. PCBs were widely used for many applications, especially as dielectric fluids in transformers, capacitors, and coolants. Due to PCB's toxicity and classification as a persistent organic pollutant, PCB production was banned by the United States Congress in 1979. 10.2.2 Toxic Substances Control Act PCBs in concentrations at or above 50 parts per million (ppm) are regulated by the federal Toxic Substances Control Act. PCBs in concentrations below 50 ppm are regulated as industrial solid waste and controlled by TCEQ, (Chapter 3, Industrial Solid Waste). 10.2.3 PCB Locations PCBs are most frequently found in electrical equipment (transformers, capacitors, switches, ballasts), hydraulic elevator fluid, and in some products like paint and caulk that were manufactured prior to 1980. 10.3 Regulated Processes 10.3.1 Electrical Equipment a. Employees shall comply with the following requirements regarding any markings or labeling indicating the PCBs content of any electrical equipment: (1) Do not remove, paint over, or deface markings or labels in any way; and (2) Locate markings and labels on the faceplate or directly adjacent to it. (3) Employees at JSC shall use only electrical equipment or fluids that are documented to contain less than 1 ppm PCBs. (4) Employees shall notify the EO prior to the removal of any electrical equipment containing dielectric fluid in order to verify PCBs status and develop a strategy for ultimate disposition.
