APPENDIX E<br />

5. HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATOR REQUIREMENTS<br />

5.1 Annual Hazardous Waste Fee Regulations<br />

Hazardous waste generators, importers, and TSDFs are required to submit annual fees to the NMED<br />

HWB. Regulations governing the fee program are contained in 20 NMAC 4.2 and 4.3. Kirtland AFB<br />

will be responsible for complying with annual waste fee regulations; project-specific plans will include<br />

forecasts of waste volumes, which will be factored into the ultimate calculation of fee for the base.<br />

5.2 Soil<br />

Soil, including drill cuttings and soil stockpiles that have been tested and are not hazardous waste or New<br />

Mexico Special Waste, may be put into the borehole, excavation left onsite, or disposed at the Kirtland<br />

AFB active landfill upon approval by base Environmental Management Personnel. The intended<br />

placement of drill cuttings onsite will be clearly addressed in project-specific addenda. Disposition of<br />

drill cuttings must be approved in writing by Kirtland AFB prior to conducting this activity.<br />

5.2.1 Containerization<br />

The cuttings from all investigations except background investigations (where an approval to leave the<br />

cuttings onsite has been obtained from the state in advance) will be containerized as specified in Section<br />

4.1.1 of this plan. Drums or bulk containers will be used, depending on the classification and volume of<br />

material to be generated. Waste material must be classified according to EPA and DOT criteria prior to<br />

affixing labels. Upon classification, the Kirtland AFB Chief Regulatory Specialist will direct the<br />

application of appropriate hazardous/non-hazardous waste and DOT labels complete with proper<br />

information specific to each waste stream. Each container will be marked and labeled as required by<br />

EPA and DOT, if applicable. All DOT functions will be conducted by trained personnel as required by<br />

49 CFR Subpart H.<br />

Containers of hazardous waste will be inspected and logged weekly while the field work is in progress.<br />

Inspection will encompass proper labeling, secure closure, condition of each container, number of<br />

containers, and condition of the storage area. Any signs of deterioration, leaking, or dents will be noted,<br />

and containers will be immediately overpacked, if necessary. Standing water will be removed from the<br />

containment area as necessary. Inspection results will be provided to Kirtland AFB. The containers will<br />

be signed over to Kirtland after waste characterization, as defined in Section 2.0 of this plan.<br />

5.2.2 Sampling<br />

The IDW drill cutting samples will be collected in accordance with the project-specific addenda, the FSP<br />

(Appendix A of the BWP), standard operating procedures included as Appendix B of the BWP and<br />

federal and state sampling requirements. Testing specified in Section 2.1 of this plan to determine if<br />

cuttings are listed or characteristic hazardous waste or special waste will be performed as necessary.<br />

When appropriate, TCLP or total testing will include inorganic and organic parameter identification and<br />

quantification under procedures set forth in 40 CFR 260.20 and 260.21. In addition, soil samples may<br />

also need to be tested for PCBs, be subjected to a paint filter test, or other tests required by TSDFs for<br />

offsite disposal.<br />
