1 D-1. Waste Management I. Scope Procedures covered here are: 1. Storage and disposal of chemical waste; 2. Storage and disposal of radioactive wastes; 3. Recycling of chemicals, office materials and pipette tip trays; 4. Use of silver recovery units for photo-processing equipment. 5. Disposal of autoclave and special medical waste at Detrick and the ATRF More information can be found at or by phoning x1451. These procedures apply to all facilities, including off-site, of the NCI-Frederick, including government owned and operated as well as government owned and contractor operated. Specific requirements for the management of other solid wastes are more fully explained in other chapters of this manual. II. Purpose This section summarizes the responsibilities, requirements, and instructions for the management of solid wastes generated at all NCI-Frederick facilities, including biohazardous, chemical, radiological, and mixed wastes. III. Definitions Medical Waste - At the NCI-Frederick, medical waste includes special medical waste as defined by COMAR , and may include other laboratory items which may be perceived by the public as medical waste, such as pipettes, culture tubes/flasks, etc. Mixed Waste - waste that also contains low-level radioactive waste as defined in Maryland Environmental Article Radioactive Waste Solutions of radionuclides or solids that have been exposed or contaminated with radionuclides, scintillation vials, stocks and carcasses containing radionuclides, regardless of half-life. Waste - A solid, liquid, or gas that is no longer suited for its intended purpose and that is ignitable, corrosive, toxic, reactive, or listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 40 CFR 261, or the Maryland D-1-1

2 Department of the Environment (MDE) in COMAR In general, excess or spent hazardous material to be disposed of or recycled is considered hazardous waste. Satellite Accumulation Point - A point at or near any point of generation where wastes initially accumulate, which is under control of the operator of the process generating the waste, and where as much as 55 gallons of hazardous waste or one quart of acutely hazardous waste is collected in containers. Lab benches with waste jugs or solvent cans are Satellite Accumulation Points. Sharps - Syringe, needle, scalpels, surgical instrument used for cutting, broken glass contaminated with blood or other article that can cut punctured human skin or come in contact with a known infectious agent. Solid Waste - Any discarded material as defined by COMAR which is not otherwise excluded from regulation. Solid waste includes the following: 1. Garbage, refuse, or sludge. 2. Solid, liquid, semi-solid, or contained gaseous material which is abandoned, recycled, or considered inherently waste-like. Solid waste does not include the following: 1. Industrial wastewater discharges subject to regulation under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, as amended. 2. Radioactive source, special nuclear or byproduct material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of Special Medical Waste - waste that contains anatomical material; blood; blood soiled articles; contaminated material; microbiological laboratory waste; or sharps, see COMAR IV. Responsibilities A. Supervisors are responsible for enforcing the requirements and practices contained in this procedure, and ensuring that all wastes generated as a result of activities under their supervision are properly segregated, labeled, containerized, and transferred. B. Employees are responsible for understanding and complying with all policies governing management of wastes generated by their activities while working at the NCI-Frederick. D-1-2

3 C. The contracted waste and recycling vendor is responsible for the collection of trash and recycling containers at the NCI-Frederick. The vendor is also required to report monthly trash and recycling weights. D. Facilities Maintenance and Engineering (FME) is responsible for collecting trash and certain recyclables from offices, shops and labs of the NCI-Frederick campus and placing these wastes in designated containers for pickup by the contracted waste vendor. Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) is responsible for any recyclable materials not accepted by the waste contractor, such as batteries, Tyveks, toner cartridges and silver film/paper. E. EHS is responsible for policies and procedures for the classification, handling, and disposal of solid, medical, radioactive, and hazardous wastes generated at the NCI- Frederick. V. Procedures A. Medical Waste at Ft. Detrick laboratories serviced by the United States Army Garrison (USAG) 1. All medical waste, including autoclaved waste, red bagged material, broken glass boxes, and biomedical waste boxes shall be placed in a gray medical waste cart. Never use any dumpster for disposal of medical waste, including needles, other sharps, animals or pathological waste. Never leave medical waste or bags of medical waste on the ground. a. Biomedical waste containers, NCI-Frederick Warehouse item number are recommended for the disposal of medical waste. These are designed to be used one time and are not to be reused. They provide adequate protection for the personnel handling the waste and clearly identify the waste as medical. Material which is to be autoclaved should be placed in polypropylene bags, item numbers SPWH (30" x 36") or SPWH (12" x 24"). Red-tinted bags may also be used for non-infectious laboratory waste. Two sizes are available (SPWH (24" x 24") and SPWH (36" x 48")). All are available and stocked in the warehouse. NOTE: Medical waste containers and biomedical waste boxes must not be filled past the fill line. Red bagged waste must be put in medical waste carts. Red bags used in small administrative trash cans are not recommended. D-1-3

4 b. Animals and other pathological waste should be properly packaged in a leak proof container, preferably black or red-tinted poly bags, and placed in the designated ANIMAL cart before 10 a.m. Monday Friday. Animal carts can be requested from the USAG by calling Used animal bedding is either medical waste or regular trash, depending on its origins. 1. Clean bedding is from untreated animals, such as breeder colonies, and is collected in boxes or through vacuum systems. Boxes or loose bedding should be bagged and placed into trash dumpsters. 2. Bedding from animals treated on a research study, and any bedding where the source is unknown, should also be securely bagged and put in the medical waste carts. c. Used needles, scalpels and syringes must be kept in a red sharps container for disposal. Two sizes of sharps containers (SPWH (5 gal.) and SPWH (9.5 qt.) are stocked in the warehouse and shall be used for the disposal of needles and syringes. These containers shall be sealed when three-fourths full and lab personnel must place them in a gray medical waste cart outside the building (NOTE: FME service workers do not handle needles and syringes). d. Broken glass and glass pipettes, unless contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious material, should be placed in medical waste boxes per section (a) above. e. Lab personnel must disinfect all potentially infectious liquid wastes before discharge into any drain. Sodium hypochlorite solution, e.g. CLOROX bleach, is recommended: add one part bleach to nine parts waste for a final solution 1:10 bleach to waste or follow procedures specified in the pathogen registration documents. Allow the bleach-waste mixture to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes before pouring the liquid down the drain. Other liquid disinfectants may be used with prior approval of EHS. Call Biological Safety for guidance at x1451. B. Medical Waste at ATRF 1. All infectious, pathogenic materials or any substance that can cause infections in humans or animals must be disinfected or autoclaved prior to disposal. Autoclave cycles must heat materials at 240 degrees F for 40 minutes or longer. D-1-4

5 C. Waste a. Material which is to be autoclaved should be placed in polypropylene bags, item numbers SPWH (30" x 36") Other bags may be ordered, such as through Thomas Scientific, and used as long as they bear strips or bards that indicate the bag has been sterilized. b. The FME Service Worker staff may perform autoclaving for some ATRF laboratories. If your lab does not have access to an autoclave, contact the FME Service staff, x 1081 for assistance. c. Used needles and syringes must be kept in a red sharps container for disposal. Two sizes of sharps containers (SPWH (5 gal.) and SPWH (9.5 qt.)) are stocked in the warehouse and shall be used for the disposal of needles and syringes. These containers shall be sealed when three-fourths full and set in Biohazardous Boxes. d. Lab personnel must disinfect all potentially infectious liquid wastes before discharge into any drain. Sodium hypochlorite solution, e.g. CLOROX bleach, is recommended, or follow procedures specified in the pathogen registration documents: add one part bleach to nine parts waste for a final solution 1:10 bleach to waste. Allow the bleach-waste mixture to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes before pouring the liquid down the drain. Other liquid disinfectants may be used with prior approval of EHS. Call Biological Safety for guidance at x wastes must be placed in an approved container for collection by EHS. The containers must have a waste tag attached that identifies building and room number, cost-center number and the chemical contents. 2. Waste is legally defined as hazardous waste in either of two ways: The waste may be specifically listed as hazardous by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) ( listed hazardous waste ). Listed hazardous wastes generated on a recurring basis at the NCI-Frederick are identified in Table D-1-2 and D-1-3. Or The waste may exhibit one of four hazardous characteristics as defined by the EPA or the MDE ( characteristic hazardous waste ). If you are unsure about any waste material, contact the EHS at x1451. D-1-5

6 The four characteristics are: Ignitable - includes any liquid with a flash point less than 140 o F (60 o C), as well as any oxidizers, flammable solids, and flammable gases. Examples: methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, hexanes and liquid scintillation cocktails containing xylene, toluene or pseudocumene. Note: wastes containing 10% or more of common solvents such as methanol or ethanol have a flash point below 140 o F and are ignitable hazardous waste. Corrosive - includes any aqueous liquid with a ph 2 or 12.5, and any liquid which corrodes steel faster than the designated rate. Examples: Cell lysis buffers, Spor-Klenz, cleaning products or disinfectants containing hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. Reactive - includes explosives, metal cyanides or sulfide-bearing wastes, and materials which, when mixed with water, react violently or generate flammable or toxic gases. Examples: azo compounds, di or tri-nitro compounds, sodium hydride, hydrogen sulfide, sodium cyanide, sodium or potassium metal. Toxic - includes wastes which, under specified test conditions, yield an extract containing any of the compounds in Table D-1-1 in excess of their regulatory levels. As an example, note that as little as 2 drops of chloroform dissolved in 20 L of waste must be handled as hazardous waste. Examples: salts of mercury, lead or silver, chloroform, epinephrine, nicotine, phenol and sodium azide. The basic rules for managing chemical wastes generated at the NCI-Frederick are: a. Never pour hazardous wastes down the drain. Call EHS (x 5718) if you are not certain whether a waste is suitable for drain disposal. b. Pour solvents and flammable wastes into red (or white) safety cans which are available from EHS (x5718). c. Whenever possible, segregate halogenated and non-halogenated solvent wastes. Common halogenated solvents include methylene chloride, chloroform, freons, and trichloroethylene. Common non-halogenated solvents include methanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile, toluene, and xylene. D-1-6

7 d. The following is a partial list of waste streams that shall not be co-mingled with other wastes in the same container because of incompatibilities and/or disposal/recycling requirements 1 : Oils (vacuum pump) Flammable liquids (isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, kerosene, methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, ether, methanol, toluene, xylene, etc.) Halogenated solvents 2 (methylene chloride, 1,1,1 - Trichloroethane, chloroform, freons, trichloroethylene) Oxidizers (>40% nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, uranyl nitrate, chromic acid, ammonium persulfate, periodic acid, etc.) Poisons (mercury, arsenic, etc.) Organic acids (acetic acid, formic acid, etc.) Inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, etc.) Mixed waste 3 (phenol/chloroform mixtures or pump oil contaminated with 3 H, 14 C, 32 P, etc., scintillation fluids containing more than 0.05 µci/gram of 3 H or 14 C, scintillation fluids containing isotopes other than 3 H or 14 C, etc.) Note 1: Avoid generating mixed waste by substituting non-regulated chemicals and solvents, using non-radioactive assay techniques, and properly identifying and separating chemical and radioactive wastes. e. Attach a completed NCI-Frederick Waste Disposal Summary Sheet (Exhibit D-1-2) to each waste container. This sheet contains the following required information: i. On-site generator s name, building and room number, telephone extension, and center number; ii. iii. Satellite accumulation start date (i.e., date waste is first added to the container at a satellite accumulation point); and container size (e.g. 20 liters). Waste contents: each time waste is added to the container, list the following information: D-1-7

8 (a) (b) (c) chemical name(s); amount added to the container; initials of person adding waste to the container; Note: Sheets are available from EHS, x 1451 f. Waste containers must be closed at all times unless waste is being added to the container. Check containers regularly to make sure that they are not leaking. If containers are found to be leaking, immediately notify EHS at x1451 or call x911. g. Leave at least 3 inches of head space in any hazardous waste drum containing liquid. h. wastes are picked up weekly. Call EHS at x5718 to arrange for pickup. All wastes shall be properly identified. Check the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to identify hazardous components in products such as batteries, maintenance and cleaning products, and photographic chemicals. Many of these must be disposed of as hazardous waste. I. Never place hazardous wastes in the trash. If not hazardous waste, items (e.g., benchtop liners, pipet tips) minimally contaminated with carcinogens should be double-bagged and placed in the medical waste carts for pickup by the Army and incineration. Note: contact EHS for approval before using this disposal method. j. Dilute aqueous solutions of many carcinogens, such as ethidium bromide, may be poured into special one gallon plastic containers packed with absorbent material, which are available from the warehouse, (SWPH# for jugs, and SWPH# for powersorb). Fill until the first free liquid can be seen at the bottom of the container. When free liquid is just visible, the container shall be capped, placed in a plastic bag, labeled Caution - Carcinogen", and placed in a medical waste cart for incineration by USAG personnel. Stock solutions, undiluted carcinogens, and any regulated hazardous wastes must be disposed of through EHS. Call Waste Management at x k. Please use thoughtful caution before recycling any empty chemical container. Empty bottles with residues of acutely hazardous or "P-listed" chemicals (Table D-1-4) must be disposed of as hazardous waste. D-1-8

9 Examples of P-listed" chemicals include cyanides, sodium azide, and epinephrine. Note that in Maryland, wastes containing as little as 500 ppm of polychlorinated biphenyls are considered acutely hazardous, and container residues must be disposed of as hazardous waste. l. Do not mix radioactive and chemical wastes. Disposal of such mixtures may be impossible, extremely difficult, or expensive. C. Radiological Waste 1. This includes those solid and liquid wastes with measurable quantities of radiation. EHS personnel will pick up radioactive wastes. For questions or to arrange for pickup call x1384. a. Solid Radioactive Waste - shall be segregated whenever possible, based on the isotopic half-life as follows: i. isotopes with a half-life less than 15 days (e.g., 32 P, 111 In). ii. iii. isotopes with a half-life of from 15 to 100 days (e.g., 35 S, 51 Cr, 125 I). isotopes with a half-life greater than 100 days (e.g., 3 H, 14 C, 63 Ni). Each class of waste will be placed into separate, clear, plastic bags, which are labeled to indicate each name, date, program number, isotope and associated activity. The labels (SPWH # ) are available from the warehouse. The bags are then placed into the 30-gallon solid waste drums labeled and supplied by EHS. b. Radioactive Animal Carcasses - Animal carcasses or animal parts containing radioisotopes shall be segregated and sealed in polyethylene bags. These bags must be properly labeled to include the name, date, program number, isotope(s), number of animals, and total activity using label SPWH # , available from the Warehouse. The animal carcasses must be hard frozen for pickup. c. Scintillation Vials Return used LS vials to the compartmentalized cardboard containers (flats) or double bag after separation into the following groups: i. Tritium ( 3 H) and carbon ( 14 C): vials containing less than 0.05 microcuries/gram of fluid (3 x 10 4 cpm/ml fluid) are may be placed D-1-9

10 with background vials. Tritium ( 3 H) and carbon ( 14 C) vials containing greater than an average of 0.05 microcuries/gram of fluid must be kept separate from all other LS vials. If unsure, call Waste Management x1384 for help. ii. iii. Phosphorus ( 32 P), and iodine ( 131 I) vials may be mixed together and will be disposed of as radioactive waste. All other isotopes with a half-life of less than 100 days, such as sulfur ( 35 S), chromium ( 51 Cr), selenium ( 75 Se), and iodine ( 125 I) may be mixed together and will be disposed of as radioactive waste. Label each group of waste with a dry waste tag to indicate name, date, program number, isotope, and associated activity. Also label with the NCI-Frederick Waste Disposal Summary Sheet to identify all chemicals and/or scintillation cocktails present. Avoid generation of mixed waste by using non-hazardous cocktails whenever possible. Contact Waste Management or Radiation Safety at x1451 for a list of non-hazardous cocktails. d. Liquid Radioactive Waste Mixed Wastes. Liquids that are both radioactive AND hazardous (flammable, corrosive, toxic or reactive - or listed wastes) are especially expensive to dispose. Carboys containing chemicals such as ethanol, methanol greater than 5% and/or containing any F-listed chemicals (Table D-1-2), and/or any toxic chemicals (Table D-1-1) will be considered mixed waste and must be kept separate from the aqueous radioactive carboys. Please contact Waste Management (x 5718) if you believe you will be generating this type of waste. ii. Aqueous radioactive waste: Lab personnel should carefully place liquid waste into a radioactive waste carboy inside a steel secondary container and log the volume and activity on the contents sheet. Segregate aqueous wastes by isotope. Never mix isotopes within a waste carboy. D-1-10

11 If your lab generates aqueous 32 P waste routinely, please contact Waste Management x1384 and we will be happy to include you in the Liquid Decay program. The total activity per carboy should not exceed the following levels per isotope listed: Carbon ( 14 C) Tritium ( 3 H) Sulfur ( 35 S) Iodine ( 125 I) Chromium ( 51 Cr) Phosphorus ( 33 P) Phosphorus ( 32 P) Indium ( 111 In) 3 millicuries 10 millicuries of each 4 millicuries 1 millicuries 1 millicuries 1 millicurie 1 millicurie 1 millicurie For high activity, low volume waste (>1-10 mci) such as source vials or reagents, store the waste in the original container or vial and place in a bag with a waste tag. Call Waste Management at x1384 for pickup. D. Ordinary Office and Lunchroom Trash (Non- Laboratory, Non-Medical, Non-, Non-Radioactive) 1. Ordinary trash includes most materials from non-laboratory work areas, including offices, lunch rooms and meeting rooms. Please place all recyclable material in one of the green recycle bins located throughout the buildings or into one of the recycling dumpsters located adjacent to most of the trash dumpsters. For a list of recyclable material please refer to: Toner or ink cartridges, fluorescent light bulbs and batteries please call waste management at x5718. All material that can not be recycled should be placed into a black trash bag for disposal in one of the trash dumpsters located outside most buildings around the NCI or ATRF campus. 2. All scrap metal can be recycled by placing it into one of the two dumpsters located outside building 1075 or 361. D-1-11

12 3. Waste generated off-site should not be brought onto Fort Detrick for disposal. Note: Do Not use a red bag for office/lunch room trash or recycling items. Red bags are only for medical or laboratory waste. E. Waste Minimization 1. The NCI-Frederick is required to minimize hazardous waste generated. Useful waste minimization techniques include: a. Substitution of less hazardous products. For example, replace mercury thermometers with non-mercury alternatives available from the supply warehouse. Replace flammable and potentially toxic scintillation counting fluids with environmentally friendly alternatives available from the central supply warehouse. b. Ordering chemicals in minimum quantities. Excessive chemical orders represent a significant waste of resources. Some vendors have begun offering smaller-size packages to reduce waste, enhance safety, and avoid problems associated with storage and contamination. c. Checking the surplus chemical listing before ordering chemicals. EHS provides a list of surplus chemicals available at no cost. Most surplus chemicals are in unopened containers, and a list is circulated every other month. Contact EHS at x5718 or check online at for updated surplus inventory lists. d. Recovering and reusing chemicals. Many solvents can be redistilled and reused, and the procedure is economical for medium to large scale processes. Contact waste management, x5718, for more details. e. Using silver-recovery units on all photographic processing equipment. These units recover significant amounts of silver an EPA hazardous waste - which would otherwise be released into the environment. Call EHS (x5718) if you use a chemical photo processor that does not have a silver recovery unit. f. Order compressed gases from vendors that offer returnable cylinders. Non-returnable cylinders such as lecture bottles may incur significant disposal costs. D-1-12

13 g. Maintenance products used for degreasing operations and spray paints containing environmentally friendly chemicals should be used instead of degreasers containing halogenated solvent. VI.
