2.5 Solid Waste Disposal. One of the first steps in developing overall
Navy installation solid waste management plans is to determine the locati
of disposal facilities and the type of facilities to be provided. Normal
solid waste is disposed of at a sanitary landfill. It is required that t
Navy assure that its solid waste is disposed of in state-permitted or
state-approved facilities authorized to receive the types of solid wastes
generated at the installation. Such disposal may be accomplished at a
Navy-owned sanitary landfill, permitted by the state in which the facilit
is located, or at a private or publicly owned site located on or off the
Navy installation. At these facilities, it is customary for the Navy to
a disposal fee and to have a long-term contract for the disposal of the
solid wastes. These private or public sites must also be permitted to
dispose of the solid wastes delivered by the Navy.
Solid wastes may also be disposed of as a part of a contracted
collection arrangement. This is the situation when the installation has
contracted solid waste collector who hauls the solid waste to a private o
publicly owned disposal facility. In such instances, the Navy essentiall
relinquishes control of the solid waste when it is put into the collectio
vehicle. Specifications in contracts for this type of service must inclu
the provision that the solid waste is to be disposed of in a state-permit
facility.
