APPENDIX E<br />

Under no circumstances should solid residues from a known contaminant concentration be combined with<br />

other residues containing suspected but unknown contamination, regardless of whether the container is<br />

filled or not. To minimize the number of containers, contaminant concentration residues containing similar<br />

waste characteristics can be combined. Wastes collected from potentially contaminated sites or areas of<br />

such sites that were known to have managed listed hazardous wastes will be put into separate containers.<br />

Wastes will be containerized according to the source of the wastes material. Soil and water wastes<br />

generated during field activities will be containerized separately. Wastes generated from different borings<br />

and monitoring wells may be containerized together to minimize the number of containers, provided they<br />

are from the same site.<br />

Containers will be segregated according to their content. For example, all soil cuttings will be stored away<br />

from all waste water (purge, development, and decontamination waters) and PPE. The goal is to separate<br />

waste as accurately as possible into categories which are intended to match waste acceptance criteria of<br />

available disposal facilities.<br />

Applicable field segregation categories will be determined based on "Process Knowledge" provided by<br />

Kirtland AFB, such as site history, previous characterization data, field screening, or change in coloration or<br />

odor. Although this information is mostly qualitative, prudent application can support strategies which<br />

minimize total handling, characterization, and disposal costs.<br />

Soil must pass the paint filter test in order to be accepted at a landfill. Containers of drill cuttings with a<br />

high moisture content will be filled to approximately one to two feet below the rim. Bentonite will be added<br />

to the top of the soil cutting until it has fully to absorbed excess liquids in drill cuttings. Bentonite will not<br />

be mixed in with the soil cuttings. The addition of bentonite will be logged in the field book. The waste<br />

composition section of the disposal facility's waste profile sheet will include the percentage of bentonite in<br />

the drum. Radioactive waste for land disposal will not contain any free-standing water, as defined in license<br />

conditions of the waste-receiving facility.<br />

Waste material must be classified according to EPA and DOT criteria prior to affixing labels. At the time of<br />

generation and until sample analysis or other information proves that the material is a hazardous waste or<br />

special waste, all waste containers will be labeled indelibly with paint markers and include the following<br />

information:<br />

Source and location (boring number)<br />

Contents and quantity of material in the container<br />

Potential health, safety and environmental hazards<br />

Accumulation start date (the date the first drop of material was put in the container)<br />

Date container sampled<br />

Analytical Parameters<br />

"ANALYSIS PENDING"<br />

Upon classification, appropriate hazardous/nonhazardous and DOT labels will be applied, complete with<br />

the proper information specific to each waste stream. Containers that are determined to contain<br />
