1 Environmental Standard Operating Procedures (ESOP) Hazardous Waste Satellite Accumulation Area (SAA) Environmental Affairs (EA): Hazardous Waste Management Branch (HWMB) (760) Revised: 17 May 18 Subj: HAZARDOUS WASTE SATELLITE ACCUMULATION AREA Ref: (a) CCO D, Integrated Contingency and Operations Plan (b) Hazardous Waste Operations Manual, MCAGCC 1. Purpose. This document provides environmental protection guidelines for the management of the SAA. 2. Application. This guidance applies to those personnel who are involved with hazardous waste (HW) SAA s aboard Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command (MAGTFTC), Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) Twentynine Palms. For further references to MAGTFTC, MCAGCC in this document, the term installation will be used. 3. Procedures. The SAA is a site for the temporary accumulation of HW at or near the point of generation. A SAA consist of the following: a portable or permanent secondary containment area, containers for the storage of hazardous waste, and bulk waste storage containers. The improper accumulation and storage of hazardous waste is the most recurring violation issues by regulatory agencies. Individual units and EA Division HWMB, must work together to ensure that SAA regulatory requirements are met. a. Units aboard the installation accumulate HW and temporarily store them in SAA or a designated waste storage location. Individual units are responsible for overall site cleanliness and for ensuring that HW is placed in the correct HW containers. The HWMB is responsible for ensuring that HW storage containers are serviceable, functional, labeled, and are annotated in accordance with regulatory requirements. b. The HWMB shall ensure that HW at the SAA s are collected according to regulations. The HWMB and unit are responsible for the completion of the required operational and weekly site inspections. The HWMB shall assist individual units in designating SAA site locations. For information on requesting and establishing a SAA, refer to reference (a) and (b). 4. Operational Controls. The following procedures apply for HW SAA. a. References (a) and (b). 5. Documentation and Record Keeping. The following records must be maintained for this document: a. Safety Data Sheets for all HM being stored. b. Inspection records must be maintained for 3 years.

2 Subj: HAZARDOUS WASTE SATELLITE ACCUMULATION AREA 6. Training. All affected personnel must be trained in this document and the following: a. General Environmental Awareness training. b. Reference (b). c. Globally Harmonized System training. d. 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response course. 7. Emergency Preparedness and Response Procedures. Refer to reference (a) and the spill response procedures listed in the Abatement ESOP. 8. Inspection and Corrective Action. The Environmental Compliance Coordinator (ECC) and HWMB shall designate personnel to perform operational and weekly inspections respectively. The supervisor of HWMB has the overall responsibility to ensure that the mandated weekly inspection requirement are met. The ECC and HWMB shall ensure deficiencies noted during the inspections are corrected immediately. Actions taken to correct each deficiency shall be recorded on the inspection sheet. Refer to reference (b), for inspection sheets and guidelines. (a) Site operational inspections shall be conducted upon arrival at an SAA site and prior to servicing by HWMB personnel. (b) Weekly compliance inspection to include drums and above ground storage tanks shall be performed by HWMB and unit s designated personnel. The weekly inspection sheet to include discrepancies shall be maintained in the SAA folder.
