utilize oils for combustion. Use of recovered oil for
combustion with subsequent recovery of heat is recommended where
justified.
3.5.2
Incineration. When other disposal methods are not
practical or where toxic materials are contained in oily
sludges, incineration should be considered. Determine air
pollution control requirements from the controlling regulatory
agency.
3.5.3
Waste Hauler.
Refer to paragraph 2.6.1.6c.
3.5.4
Landfill or Land Disposal. Dewatered oily sludge may
be disposed of in a dedicated landfill site or in a landfill
with other solid wastes. Oily sludge, with or without domestic
wastewater sludge, can also be incorporated into the soil in a
land application system. The landfill or land disposal site
must be approved to accept the sludge.
Oily sludge may be considered a hazardous waste based
on RCRA criteria for flammability or the TCLP. Determine
hazardous waste nature by TCLP test results and ignition point.
Contact state regulatory agency for local handling, transport,
and storage requirements.
3.6
Emergency Containment and Cleanup. Process and
treatment operations at Navy installations should be controlled
to eliminate spills of oil to surface and ground waters.
Equipment and procedures to effectively contain and remove
accidental spills should be established as a part of the oily
waste collection and treatment system. Refer to OPNAVINST
5090.1 for overall guidance on responsibilities and management
for oil spills.
3.7
Oily Wastewater Characteristics
3.7.1
General. Establish wastewater flow rate and
contaminant concentrations, when possible, through direct
measurements and sampling. Follow procedures in NAVFACINST
4862.5 when conducting Preliminary Engineering Studies for
