MIL-HDBK-1005/9A
and nonhazardous components). Some recordkeeping, reporting,
and waste manifest are not required for small generators but the
waste must still be disposed in an approved site.
d) Landfill Disposal. The preferred method for
ultimate disposal of industrial sludges is to provide dewatering
and disposal of the dewatered sludge in a properly located and
designed landfill. Refer to EPA PB 80-2200546, Process Design
Manual, Sludge Treatment and Disposal for design considerations.
e) Land Disposal. Some biological and chemical
industrial sludges that are not defined as hazardous may be
acceptable for land disposal depending upon the sludge
characteristics, soil conditions, and intended use of the site
(that is, use of the site for crop production versus a dedicated
disposal site). Contact regulatory agencies for local
requirements and for maximum allowable loads to dedicated land
disposal sites.
f) Recycle. Some metal waste treatment systems,
particularly those for hard chrome and precious metal plating
operations, have the potential of recovering waste materials for
subsequent reuse. Reuse and recovery can reduce raw material
and ultimate sludge disposal requirements.
2.6.1.7
Air Pollution Control. Some industrial processes
(chrome plating, storage battery reclamation, metal pickling,
and fuel combustion) may emit metallic fumes and vapors, acid
droplets, and metallic oxides and salts. A condenser should be
used for low efficiency removal of vapors in moist air streams.
For high efficiency removal of vapors, a scrubber should be
used. Efficiency mist collectors should be incorporated in the
scrubber design. Refer to EPA 625/3-77-009, Controlling
Pollution from the Manufacturing and Coating of Metal Products,
Metal Coating Air Pollution Control - I and Solvent Metal
Cleaning Air Pollution Control - II.

Cooling Water Recycle. The equipment and processes
that utilize water for indirect (noncontaminating) cooling
should be identified as a part of the Preliminary Engineering
Studies required by NAVFACINST 4862.5. Consideration should be
