The State of Idaho will generate various quantities and types of waste during monitoring activities associated with the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) Oversight Program. This waste, referred to as INEL Oversight Program (IOP) waste, is the waste resulting from field season activities of the IOP. Wastes generated at the INEL are broadly categorized by the types of contaminants they contain. These include: hazardous waste; high-level waste; low-level waste; mixed waste; sanitary waste; and transuranic waste. To the extent possible, generation of allowable MOA (Waste Handling Memorandum of Agreement) wastes should be minimized. Minimization of waste includes waste prevention, reduction of waste components, and recycling. The following are some general waste minimization techniques which pertain to current monitoring activities such as purging and sampling existing monitoring wells and associated activities. Regulations affecting the management of IOP can differ depending upon the site designation of the waste generation point. Possible site designations at the INEL include: non-regulated sites; comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) sites; sites regulated under the authority of RCRA; and newly discovered contaminated sites.
