CllAPl'ER 3I.GENERATORSA.Geoeral Requirenelts:1.Under the broad definitian of HW, all units under the carma.nd ofFort Bliss generate HW, and are identified as "generators". All generators ofHW rrust identify their HW/HM to EMJ.If air:l material, substance or item isunidentified, unmarked or if a generating unit is not sure of the substance EM)should be contacted. EM) will take appropriate action to identify the unknownsubstance and disposal requirements.2.Any new or existing unit, that changes or m:::xlifies workingpractices and adds or deletes HM which beccrnes waste must :imoodiately reportthe changes to EM).3.Generating units are required to develop a hazardous waste SOP.All SOP'S will be subject to EM) approval.SOP'S will be developed franinfonnatian provided in the plan and be targeted to the unit's HW/HM. EMJ willprovide assistance as required. SOP's will include:a.b.c.d.e.f.g.h.i.List of generated wasteHandling, and labeling p:rcx;eduresStorage requirementsInspection and Control proceduresEmergency resp:nse proceduresRecordkeeping and Report requirementsTuxn-in proceduresTranspJrtatian prcceduresTraining requirements of the personnel handling HW at unitlevel.4.HW must be collected in oor authorized containers to confonn toshipping requiranents. Once the unit identifies their waste material, EM) willprovide an info:rmatian package to include Technical Data Sheets ('IDS) for eachhazardous material. The 'IDS specifies the type of HW and acceptable collectioncontainer. All containers must be in good condition (non-leaki.ng7.5.Once the unit starts collecting the HW, the USEPA HW label must beplaced an the container. A sample USEPA HW label with instructions is shown onFigure 1.The label contains 13 ite:ns; all but the EPA ID No. and ManifestDocument No. are canpleted by the generating unit using a pe:rmanent marker.Item 13, waste collection canpletion date, must be included on the label priorto turn-in.Ensure wastes are not canbined with any other waste in the samecontainer.3-1
