McMullen, P T; Hedgecock, N S

The scope of this survey was to address hazardous waste management practices, explore opportunities for hazardous waste minimization, and to determine possible industrial discharge to the sanitary sewer, the survey team performed a shop-by-shop evaluation of chemical waste management practices as well as met with hazardous waste managers and engineers to discuss the hazardous waste program. Recommendations include: (1) Move the 314 FMS AGE waste oil storage area to a site other than a washrack; (2) Construct a sink for neutralizing lead-acid batteries at 314 CES Power Production; (3) Contain and reuse triple-rinse water at 314 CES Entomology; (4) Use an alternate absorbent material rather than Speedy Dry; (5) Perform stripping operations at 189 ANG Corrosion Control in a tank rather than on the washrack.
