Analysis of U.S. Army Solid Waste Management Policy by Odelia Funke,Army Environmental Policy Institute (U.S.),Russell Forrest,Kristan Cockerill-Kafka,Claire E. Huppertz,ARMY ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY INST CHAMPAIGN IL. Pdf

This study identifies national non-hazardous solid waste trends and key Army issues and concerns. It emphasizes ways to promote integrated management, including appropriate data as well as planning and management tools. Integrated management is defined as a coordinated effort to implement the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's pollution prevention hierarchy, which focuses on approaches to: reduce waste at the source, recycle, and develop innovative waste disposal programs. The study focuses on four areas of Army concern: improving methods for waste characterization and data collection, organization and management to facilitate integrated solid waste management (SWM), incentives for improving SWM, and better training and communication. It discusses ways to combine an Army-wide framework for planning with program guidance and tools for installation planning. The analysis indicates that the Army should initiate universal SWM planning based on common definitions and data elements, with particular focus on integrated management and innovative approaches. It defines a spectrum of options, from highly decentralized programs to more uniform policy and programs with central control and guidance. Options are evaluated in terms of four criteria: improving the Army's knowledge and understanding of solid waste, consistency with the pollution prevention hierarchy, cost-effectiveness, and demonstrating leadership. Finally, for each alternative presented, the study outlines associated implementation issues and needs that would have to be addressed as follow-on activities. Waste disposal, pollution prevention hierarchy, solid waste management (SWM).

Review of Secondary Waste Disposal Planning for the Blue Grass and Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plants by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Army Science and Technology,Committee to Review Secondary Waste Disposal and Regulatory Requirements for the Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives Program Pdf

The U.S. Army Program Manager for Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (PMACWA) is charged with disposing of chemical weapons as stored at two sites: Pueblo, Colorado, and Blue Grass, Kentucky. In accordance with congressional mandates, technologies other than incineration are to be used if they are as safe and as cost effective. The weapons are to be disposed of in compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention. Although an element of the U.S. Army, the PMACWA is responsible to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisitions, Technology, and Logistics for completing this mission. This book deals with the expected significant quantities of secondary wastes that will be generated during operations of the facilities and their closure. While there are only estimates for the waste quantities that will be generated, they provide a good basis for planning and developing alternatives for waste disposal while the plants are still in the design phase. Establishing efficient disposal options for the secondary wastes can enable more timely and cost-effective operation and closure of the facilities.

Review of Chemical Agent Secondary Waste Disposal and Regulatory Requirements by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Army Science and Technology,Committee on Review of Chemical Agent Secondary Waste Disposal and Regulatory Requirements Pdf

Under the direction of the U.S. Army's Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) and mandated by Congress, the nation is destroying its chemical weapons stockpile. Large quantities of secondary waste are being generated in the process, and managing these wastes safely and effectively is a critical part of CMA's weapons disposal program. To assist, the CMA asked the NRC to examine the environmental and regulatory requirements that secondary waste treatment is subject to, and to assess best practices by industry in meeting such requirements for similar facilities. This book presents an overview of secondary wastes from chemical agent disposal facilities (CDF), a comparison of CDF and industry experience, site-specific analysis of major secondary waste issues, an examination of closure wastes, and findings and recommendations.

Disposal of Neutralent Wastes by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Army Science and Technology,Committee on Review and Evaluation of the Army Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel Disposal Program Pdf

Chemical warfare materiel (CWM) is a collection of diverse items that were used during 60 years of efforts by the United States to develop a capability for conducting chemical warfare. Nonstockpile CWM, which is not included in the current U.S. inventory of chemical munitions, includes buried materiel, recovered materiel, binary chemical weapons, former production facilities, and miscellaneous materiel. CWM that was buried in pits on former military sites is now being dug up as the land is being developed for other purposes. Other CWM is on or near the surface at former test and firing ranges. According to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which was ratified by the United States in April 1997, nonstockpile CWM items in storage at the time of ratification must be destroyed by 2007. The U.S. Army is the designated executive agent for destroying CWM. Nonstockpile CWM is being handled by the Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel Program (NSCMP); stockpile CWM is the responsibility of the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program. Because nonstockpile CWM is stored or buried in many locations, the Army is developing transportable disposal systems that can be moved from site to site as needed. The Army has plans to test prototypes of three transportable systems-the rapid response system (RRS), the munitions management device (MMD), and the explosive destruction system (EDS)-for accessing and destroying a range of nonstockpile chemical agents and militarized industrial chemicals. The RRS is designed to treat recovered chemical agent identification sets (CAIS), which contain small amounts of chemical agents and a variety of highly toxic industrial chemicals. The MMD is designed to treat nonexplosively configured chemical munitions. The EDS is designed to treat munitions containing chemical agents with energetics equivalent to three pounds of TNT or less. These munitions are considered too unstable to be transported or stored. A prototype EDS system has recently been tested in England by non-stockpile program personnel. Although originally proposed for evaluation in this report, no test data were available to the committee on the composition of wastes from the EDS. Therefore, alternative technologies for the destruction of EDS wastes will be discussed in a supplemental report in fall 2001. Treatment of solid wastes, such as metal munition bodies, packing materials, and carbon air filters, were excluded from this report. Review and Evaluation of the Army Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel Disposal Program: Disposal of Neutralent Wastes evaluates the near-term (1999-2005) application of advanced (nonincineration) technologies, such as from the Army's Assembled Chemical Weapons Assessment Program and the Alternative Technologies and Approaches Project, in a semi-fixed, skid-mounted mode to process Rapid Response System, Munitions Management Device, and Explosive Destruction System liquid neutralization wastes.

Decision Support Model to Select the Optimal Municipal Solid Waste Management Policy at United States Air Force Installations by Johnathon L. Dulin Pdf

The United States Air Force has recently defined three objectives in developing strategies regarding the management of municipal solid waste at the base level. They are: (1) 50 percent reduction in total waste generated, from a 1992 baseline amount, by 1999; (2) 50 percent recycling of all waste generated, beginning in 1999; and, (3) a minimum cost program. With these objectives in mind, base environmental engineers must take appropriate actions in an effort to develop a program that meets these goals. Through consultations with base environmental managers, as well as research of the available literature, a decision support model was constructed to aid the decision maker in selecting a program that shows the best performance relative to these objectives. This model considers decisions regarding waste collection methods, waste reduction methods, and waste incineration. Sensitivity analysis is used to determine the most important variables in the model. Finally, the model and resulting analysis provide the decision makers with valuable insight concerning the selection and implementation of a municipal solid waste management policy.
