Waste-water and hazardous-waste surveys were conducted at Homestead AFB by the USAFOEHL to address possible problems with oil/water separators and to evaluate the hazardous-waste management program. The analytical results from the waste-water survey showed mercury, silver, benzenes, chlorinated benzenes, fuel components, and various purgable halocarbons above the discharge limit presented in the Dade County Code 24-11. Characteristic hazardous waste results showed the separator located outside the jet-engine test cell contained hazardous-waste. The pH of waste water discharged from the base filling-station separator was out of compliance with the Dade County discharge limits. The results of the hazardous-waste survey showed the base hazardous waste program to be running smoothly. The accumulation site managers have a good understanding of the overall waste-management program.
