Department of Energy (DOE) orders 5400.1 and 5400.3 mandate the development of a waste minimization program. The program`s goals are to: (1) reduce volumes of hazardous wastes and toxicity, (2) implement a system of tracking and reporting improvements, and (3) devise a method for performing tasks. To satisfy the requirements of this program, Sandia conducts pollution prevention opportunity assessments (PPOAs) to identify waste-generating processes. The information collected from a PPOA then is used to identify waste minimization opportunities. This PPOA was conducted for the Protective Forces, according to the Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessment Plan for SNL/California.
