The Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC) implemented an aggressive waste minimization program called PACER REDUCE to achieve a 50% reduction in the hazardous waste disposal volume by 1992. When PACER REDUCE was implemented in late 1985, considerable attention was being placed on identifying long-term alternatives to landfill disposal. In late 1986, a program was begun to evaluate the feasibility of constructing Air Force incinerators for the treatment of hazardous waste generated by AFLC. The program had two major thrusts. First, the current and emerging incineration technologies would be reviewed, actual test burns would be conducted in up to three of the most viable technologies, and a report would be prepared to document findings and recommendations. Second, contracts would be let to evaluate the siting and economic factors influencing the construction of incinerators at the ALCs, to review the expected environmental effects of such construction, and to study the characteristics of waste generation within AFLC, both now and in the future. The first program objective was conducted by staff at 00-ALC and is called the Incineration Feasibility Study. This contract was awarded and is nearly complete and consists of six major tasks.
