Physics EMS Management Review Physics EMS Management Review

Aspects Identified Through ESRs, Work Planning

• Regulated Industrial Waste
• Hazardous Waste Generation
• Radioactive Waste Generation (Legacy)
• Mixed Waste Generation (Legacy)
• Regulated Medical Waste Generation
• On-site Transportation of Chemicals
• Storage/Use of PCBs (ATF Klystron Oil)

Web-based System Information ECR Involved in all ESRs Pollution Prevention is Part of Every ESR

Physics EMS Assessments Physics EMS Assessments

Lead in Circuit Board Cleaning 10/03*

• Waste water is hazardous due to lead content

NYSDEC Inspection 1/04

• Notice of Violation – battery in Universal Area
• Continual problem of dumping trash – new approach

Internal EMS System Audit 2/04

• Minor nonconformance – this Management Review
• Suggested table to track audit of EMS elements

Controlled Documents Internal Audit 2/04

• Posted version not same as (official) web form – fixed
• Suggested table to track revision requirements
• Posted operator aids not signed

Physics EMS Performance Physics EMS Performance

Pollution Prevention

• ATF Klystron Oil replaced – PCB contamination
• Lead pollution from circuit cleaning prevented –

brought to our attention by workers

• ATF lead bricks replaced by painted lead – prevents

lead dust, worker contamination & cleanup costs

EMS Improvements

• Adopted more formal document controls
• Continuing progress towards this goal

Physics EMS Performance Physics EMS Performance

Objectives

• Compliance

– RCRA violation → working with critique team – Common problems, solutions

• Integrate pollution prevention

– Part of every ESR – P2 submissions for relevant items

• Support BNL’s EMS objectives & targets

Targets

• Review all work for “E” aspects & impacts
• Include P2 & waste minimization in all ESRs
• Involve ECR in all work with “E” impacts
