At the request of the 857th Strategic Hospital Bioenvironmental Engineering Services the Armstrong Laboratory Occupational and Environmental Health Directorate (AL/OE) conducted a Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Survey at Minot AFB on 24-28 Jun 9l The scope of this survey was to address hazardous waste management practices, to explore opportunities for waste minimization, and to determine waste streams. The survey team performed a shop-by-shop determination of hazardous waste streams and met with hazardous waste managers to discuss their waste programs. Recommendations include: (1) employ proven waste reduction techniques in 857 TRANS shops, 857 CES vehicle maintenance and equipment maintenance shops, and 5 FMS aircraft maintenance shops; (2) install locking devices on each accumulation drum or tank at accumulation points; and (3) implement the use of a master control log to track numerically coded storage drums.
