650.110 - Standards.

Installations and activities, in their waste disposal operations as well as in their resource recovery and recycling programs, will meet environmental pollution standards promulgated by duly authorized Federal, State, interstate, and local agencies. In addition, they will conform to the following waste management standards: (a) Sufficient resources will be provided for the effective management of all wastes generated. Those wastes that cannot be recovered or recycled shall be disposed of in the most cost effective manner consistent with Army waste disposal requirements (AR 42047).

  (b) The installation commander may permit open burning when such burning does not conflict with local or State regulatory requirements, is accomplished during daylight hours, and is controlled to keep pollution of the air to a minimum.

  (c) Wastes generated by any Army installation or activity will not be disposed of by open dumping. If suitable sites for sanitary landfill operations are not available on an installation, or municipal or private facilities for disposal are not available or are not cost effective, solid waste processing may be accomplished using incinerators especially designed for that purpose. Incinerators will be designed and operated to meet all applicable air pollution control requirements (chap. 3, AR 42047).

  (d) When contracting for off-post disposal of solid wastes from Army facilities by municipal or private facilities, the contractor must comply with Federal, State, and local guidelines.
