Box 144880 Salt Lake City UT 84114-4880 Dear Mr. Hansen As required by the Hill Air Force Base (AFB) Hazardous Waste Storage Permit (EPA ID UT0571724350), sections II.E.4 and II.E.5 and Utah Administrative Code R315-264-73(b)(9), I hereby certify the following for calendar year 2023. Hill AFB has a program in place to reduce the volume and toxicity of hazardous waste that is generated to the degree that it is economically practicable and that the current methods of storage are the most practicable methods available, which minimizes the present and future threat to human health or the environment. This program utilizes source reduction, such as chemical substitution, process change, or other techniques to reduce generation of hazardous material. Where environmentally damaging materials are used, their use is minimized. If the use of such materials cannot be avoided, the spent material or waste is reused or recycled whenever feasible. As a last resort, spent material or waste that cannot be reused or recycled is disposed of in an environmentally safe manner, consistent with the requirements of all applicable laws. Hill AFB has full time hazardous waste experts on staff who evaluate each waste management decision. Members of this team meet monthly to discuss prospective actions for reducing the volume and toxicity of waste generated at the installation, as stated above. Hill AFB is also evaluated on a recurring basis by an Environmental Management System (EMS), which is guided by a multidisciplinary cross-functional team. This program is the primary means for tracking waste reduction initiatives. An evaluation of 2023 waste streams generated was conducted to confirm that waste streams requiring analysis were analyzed within the last three calendar years. The CY 2023 Hill AFB Waste Stream Report that outlines these efforts is attached. Additionally, two new waste streams created in 2023 – U02 and Q02 – were identified. With regard to the waste stream certification referenced above and in permit section II.E.4, all active waste streams requiring analysis were analyzed in the last three calendar years. Pursuant to Hill AFB’s Hazardous Waste Management Plan, most solid waste containers returned to the Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility for processing are visually inspected. In many cases, containers are sampled and the samples are analyzed for waste characterization. Chemical data are used to calculate 90 percent upper confidence limits for constituents of concern for waste characterization. These statistical values are verified every one to three years, depending on our confidence in the generator’s process knowledge, to ensure the consistency of characterization. All analytical characterization data are stored in the Enterprise Environmental, Safety, and Occupational Health Management Information System database. I hereby certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.
