January 2017

Environmental ComplianceAudit Protocol

INTRODUCTION

This document has been developed to assist the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials (SM) in conducting internal environmental audits. This Environmental Compliance Audit Protocol consist of 15 audit protocols, based on specific environmental management topics, to evaluate the site’s compliance with environmental regulations under federal law. Each protocol provides guidance on key requirements, defines regulatory terms, and gives an overview of the federal laws affecting a particular environmental management area. Each protocol includes a checklist delineating the topics that should be evaluated during an audit. The checklists include the applicable regulatory citations. Not all checklist items will be applicable to a particular site.

This document also includes five separate state-specific audit protocols to align with the locations of the five DLA SM sites. These state-specific audit protocols are to be used along with the main audit protocol while conducting the audit. The state-specific audit protocols are formatted with the same 15 environmental management audit protocols to evaluate compliance with state and local environmental regulations. If no additional state requirements are applicable, it is indicated on the state-specific audit protocol summary page. Each state-specific protocol includes a checklist delineating the topics that should be evaluated during an audit. The checklists include the applicable regulatory citations. Not all checklist items will be applicable to a particular site.

PROTOCOL 7: Hazardous and Universal Wastes

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials depots are usually conditionally exempt small-quantity generators (CESQG). That is, they generate less than 100 kilograms of hazardous waste a month. Regulated entities that generate hazardous waste are subject to waste accumulation, manifesting, and recordkeeping standards. Facilities generally must obtain a permit either from the USEPA or from a state agency that the USEPA has authorized to implement the permitting program if they store hazardous wastes for more than 90 days before treatment or disposal. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) addresses nonhazardous and hazardous waste management activities.

The act’s primary objective is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s surface waters. The Clean Water Act made it unlawful to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters, unless a permit was obtained. The USEPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls discharges of wastewater and stormwater. In addition to the federal requirements listed in this protocol, many state (or local) regulations may be applicable if discharges are permitted by a local, state, or tribal authority. In addition, many facilities qualify for Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGPs) for their stormwater discharges.

The following federal regulations apply to this protocol:

Clean Water Act (40 CFR 125–136)

NPDES (40 CFR 122)

Yes No NA Wastewater Discharges – Applicable to NPDES Citation

What is the type of sewer system at the site (public, septic, other)?

__________________________________________

Probe Question

Does the site need an NPDES permit for wastewater?

NPDES Permit Requirements: If you discharge from a point source into the waters of the United States, you need an NPDES permit. If you discharge pollutants into a municipal sanitary sewer system, you do not need an NPDES permit, but you should ask the municipality about their permit requirements. If you discharge pollutants into a municipal storm sewer system, you may need a permit depending on what you discharge.

40 CFR 122

If site is permitted, continue with following questions:

Does the site have an individual NPDES permit for wastewater?

An NPDES individual permit is written to reflect site-specific conditions of a single discharger (or in rare instances to multiple co-permittees) based on information submitted by that discharger in a permit application and is unique to that discharger. Individual permits are issued directly to an individual discharger.

40 CFR 122

Does the site qualify under an NPDES general permit?

An NPDES general permit is written to cover multiple dischargers with similar operations and types of discharges based on the permit writer’s professional knowledge of those types of activities and discharges. A general permit is issued to no one in particular with multiple dischargers obtaining coverage under that general permit after it is issued, consistent with the permit eligibility and authorization provisions. 

40 CFR 122
