Consolidated Requirements

4.2.2.1 DOE contractors must reduce or eliminate

DOE O 450.1, sec. 4.b.(3),

the generation of waste, the release of

CRD sec. 2(c)

pollutants to the environment, and the use

of Class I ozone-depleting substances

(ODS), (see definition) through source

reduction, re-use, segregation, and

recycling and by procuring recycled-

content materials and environmentally

preferable products and services.

[NOTE: DOE O 450.1 requires that this

be done as part of integrating EMSs into

site ISMSs.]

4.2.3

Chemical users who generate hazardous wastes are

HSWA 3002, sec. (a)(6)(C)-

required to submit biennial reports describing:

(D);

a) efforts undertaken to reduce the volume and

toxicity of waste generated; and

40CFR262.41(a)(6)-(7);

b) changes in volume and toxicity of waste

40CFR264.75(h)-(i);

actually achieved compared with previous

40CFR265.75(h)-(i);

years, to the extent that such information is

available.

4.3 Waste Minimization Goals

4.3.1 Contractors shall include goals in their ISMS that

DOE O 450.1, sec. 5.c.(3),

contribute to the accomplishment of DOE P2

CRD sec.1(c) and 4;

goals.33

EO 13101, sec 601(1)(a)

4.3.1.1 Contractors must reduce waste from

Secretary of Energy Memo

routine operations by 2005, using a 1993

to Heads of Departmental

baseline, for the following waste types:

Elements, November 12,

Hazardous by 90 percent;

1999

Low Level Radioactive by 80 percent;

Low Level-Mixed Radioactive by 80

percent;

Transuranic (TRU) by 80 percent.

Releases of toxic chemicals subject to

Toxic Chemical Release Inventory

reporting by 90 percent.

Sanitary waste by 75 percent by 2005

and 80 percent by 2010, using a 1993

baseline.

Waste resulting from cleanup,

While goals are not required as a part of ISMSs, the EMSs that are required to be integrated into ISMSs include

goals. This requirement refers to the EMS goals that must be included in the ISMSs.
