SUS •TAIN •A •BLE, Sustainability [noun] : the intelligent use of our resources, (natural and technological), to meet our communities’ needs today, as well as in the future. INTRODUCTION The Fort Buchanan Environmental Compliance relies on the Best Management Practices (BMP’s) established thru the various envi ronmental plans and it’s Sustainability & Environmental Management System (SEMS), established to implement reduction of waste streams by pollution prevention efforts, recycling of materials, energy and resources conservation and by engaging our community to cooperate with SUSTAINABLE initiatives and strategies by achieving the objectives and goals for our most significant environmental aspects. What is household hazardous Waste? Do you have household products that you no longer need or have exceeded their “use by” date? Some of these products contain chemicals or substances that can be harmful to you, your children and pets. These products are considered Household Hazardous Waste. Household hazardous waste should not be poured down the sink or put in the trash can because it can damage the environment including waterways, vegetation and soil. How to identify your hazardous waste Used Fluorescent lights All used lamps including fluorescent bulbs and mercury-containing lamps are Universal Waste. Other types of lamps or bulbs disposal determinations will be made by the Environmental Division. Place used fluorescent tubes in the original container, take them to the DPW Supply Division . Used Batteries: (Non-Lead-Acid) Alkaline, Lithium, Nickel- Cadmium, Magnesium, NiCad, Mercury and other Rechargeable Batteries) As a Best Management Practice, all batteries will be collected. Waste determinations will be made by the Environmental Division. Box type battery poles shall be taped and placed in approved plastic containers and labeled as “Used Batteries” UPS and Computer Back-up batteries shall be turned in at the DPW Supply Division designated area. Paints & Paint Related Material– Oil-based Paint and Stain; Latex (Water) Based Paint and Stains May contain chemicals that could be flammable. Refer to the MSDS for specific hazards. Oil-based paint and stain residue must be disposed according to the regulations. Completely “empty/dry” cans of latex paint may also be placed in the trash. Aerosol Cans Aerosol cans are pressurized and may be flammable, reactive, corrosive, and/or toxic depending on the contents of the cans and the propellant involved.

STORM WATER PROGRAM SPILL PREVENTION AND COUNTERMEASURE PLAN LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO REDUCE POLLUTION * The procedures spelled out in your facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan are your official guide to response to spills, otherwise you can follow these general guides. * — Notify your supervisor, co-workers and others in the area. In case of large uncontrolled spills, fire or explosions; activate emergency procedures and contact Fort Buchanan Fire Department, dial 787-707-5911/ 4911. — Do not try to rescue or help injured people unless you are sure You will be safe, keep people out of the area. If you are not trained, do not try to clean up a spill yourself. Leave the cleanup to trained personnel, such as the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Response Team . — Use absorbent materials on small spills and leaks rather than hosing down or burying the spill. — Lay enough absorbent material to prevent the spill to reach gutters, storm drains or watercourses. — Contaminated absorbent materials should be promptly removed and disposed of properly. — Leave the area if the spill cannot be readily contained, or if it presents an immediate danger to life or health. In general, evacuate upwind.

SOLID WASTE Management Objectives are in place to reduce the rate of solid waste generation to meet or exceed the Department of Defense (DOD) goal of diverting a minimum of 50 percent of the Installation’s non hazardous solid waste, and 50 percent of the construction and demolition (C&D) waste generated. Manage solid waste in a manner protective of human health and the environment. 50% DOD MANDATED GOAL 17 MAR, SEMS Rev, Dl #120
