2 MCCONNELLAFBI23-502 1 FEBRUARY 2017 SUMMARY OF CHANGES Paragraph 3 was revised to reflect a 1/1/2 inch male cam-lock connection instead of a 3 inch male cam-lock connection. OPR changed from LRS/LGRF (Fuel Management Flight) to LRS/LGLOQ (Quality Assurance Office). Title changed to Recoverable and Waste Petroleum Products Management Program, as stated in AFI 23-502. Multiple paragraphs were broken down for better flow and understanding. 1. Responsibilities. 1.1. All organizations are responsible for the proper segregation and safe keeping of recoverable or waste petroleum products generated or collected within the organization. The Fuels Management Flight is responsible for verifying the quality of on-specification products returned to active storage and periodic inspection of bowsers used for collection and segregation of recoverable aviation fuels. Waste determinations unsuitable for use needs to be coordinated through building 1096, hazardous waste personnel for proper collection/disposal in accordance with MAFB 32-7002, Environmental Procedures, and Hazardous Waste Management Plan. 1.2. Aircraft maintenance organizations must maintain a sufficient number of portable bowsers to allow for the segregation and collection of each grade of aviation fuel. Aviation fuel bowsers must meet the criteria specified in TO 42B-1-23, Management of Recoverable and Waste Liquid Petroleum Products. The owning organization will: 1.2.1. Mark fuel bowsers with serial numbers and organization symbol to aid in tracking quality control and inspection data. 1.2.2. Ensure bowsers are clean internally and externally to prevent contamination of the product. 1.2.3. Ensure aviation fuel is segregated from other fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids, and other substances to avoid having to dispose of the fuel as hazardous waste. 1.2.4. After coordination through the Fuels Service Center, deliver full fuel bowsers, which require emptying, to the Fuels Storage Area (building 968). Bowsers meeting criteria of TO 42B-1-23 will be emptied immediately and returned to active storage. Owning organizations will remain with the bowser until completed. 1.2.5. Coordinate with the Hazardous Waste and Materiel Manager at Civil Engineer Assessment Management Flight, Environment Element (CES/CEIEC) to properly dispose of a product that is determined to be unsuitable for returning to active storage or downgraded for ground use. 2. Fuels Management Flight. 2.1. The Fuels Management Flight will maintain test equipment and defueling equipment necessary to recover on-specification aviation fuel using guidelines specified in TO 42B-1-1, Quality Control of Fuels and Lubricants. 2.1.1. A qualified fuels technician or contracted storage personnel will inspect the bowser and analyze a sample of the product from the bowser sump and notify Fuels Laboratory personnel of pass or fail. If water is present, the organization will be required to remove water. After removal, a resample will be taken and analyzed.
MCCONNELLAFBI23-502 1 FEBRUARY 2017 3 2.1.2. The Fuels Laboratory will be notified to perform further analysis any time a visual analysis fails color or solids. 2.1.2.1. Product disposition will be determined based on the criteria contained in TO 42B-1-23, Table 3-1. 2.1.2.2. Product that cannot be recovered will be turned back over to the generating/collecting organization for disposal. 3. Returning Recoverable Aviation Fuel to Active Storage. 3.1.1. Bowser will need to be equipped with a 1-1/2 inch male cam-lock coupling. 3.1.2. Quantity in the receiving tank will be checked prior to the transfer to ensure the ten-to-one blending ratio is met. This ensures that the minimum numbers of filtration required in TO 42B-1-23 are met prior to the fuel being issued to an aircraft. 4. Inspection and Cleaning of Aviation Fuel Bowsers. 4.1. Fuels Laboratory personnel will inspect the internal compartment of aviation fuel bowsers following a laboratory analysis in which the product in a bowser was not suitable for returning to active storage. 4.2. Bowsers that fail an internal inspection will be cleaned by the owning organization and re-inspected by Fuels Laboratory personnel prior to being used to collect and store recoverable fuel. 22CES/CEIEC will be contacted prior to beginning cleaning operations for assistance with waste disposal arrangements. Bowsers may be steam cleaned or flushed with water and/or dry cleaning solvents. All residues from cleaning must be collected and disposed of IAW TO 42B-1-23. The bowser must be free of all water and/or residual dry cleaning solvent before it can be used for collecting/storing fuel. 5. Credit for Recovered Aviation Fuel. 5.1. Petroleum products drained from aircraft, vehicles, and storage tanks represent a significant economic resource. A conscientious effort must be made to collect and segregate these products so they can be used for their intended purposes. Downgrading of offspecification product to a product of less stringent quality standards or resale through Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services (DLADS) channels are optional, but should only be considered when it is not possible to use the product for its intended purpose. 5.1.1. Fuel returned to active storage will be credited back to the Aviation Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants program at the standard stock fund price. 5.1.2. Fuel returned to operating storage will be credited back to the aircraft tail number that it was reclaimed from. 5.1.3. Any ground fuel that is reclaimed will be credited back to the generating organization. 5.2. All fuels transactions will be processed utilizing the Enterprise External Business Portal (EEBP). 6. The following areas are Petroleum Products Waste Generators: 6.1. Auto Hobby Shop:
4 MCCONNELLAFBI23-502 1 FEBRUARY 2017 6.1.1. The Auto Hobby Shop accumulates waste motor oil, petroleum based aerosol products, rags, etc. 6.1.2. Oil is generated through customers by performing oil changes to personally owned vehicles. Oil is drained into approved containers whose contents are transferred by shop personnel to a 100 gallon storage tank. 6.1.3. Filters are collected by shop personnel and placed in an approved 55 gallon sealable drum. 6.1.4. Petroleum based aerosol products are generated by use of staff and shop customers. Used aerosol cans are collected by shop personnel during the application and or clean-up of grease or other petroleum based products. 6.1.5. Rags are collected and stored in an approved sealable container. 6.1.6. All generated products are held at the Satellite Accumulation Point (SAP) until drums are filled and turned in as needed. Staff will ensure that all containers are properly marked. 6.2. Outdoor Recreation and Equipment Rental: 6.2.1. The Outdoor Recreation and Equipment Rental accumulates waste oils, old gasoline, petroleum base aerosol products, rags, etc. 6.2.2. Generated oil and gasoline products are transferred to separate sealable 55 gallon drums. 6.2.3. Petroleum based aerosol products are generated by use of staff and shop customers. Generated aerosol cans and rags are transferred to separate sealable drums. 6.2.4. All generated products are held at the Satellite Accumulation Point (SAP) until drums are filled and turned in as needed. Staff will ensure that all containers are properly marked. 7. Turn-in Procedures to SAP: 7.1. When SAP containers are full, the complete date will be annotated on the container label and the Environmental Flight will be contacted. Items that can be transported easily (e.g. fluorescent tubes) will be transported by the activity to the Hazardous Waste Facility within 72 hours. 7.2. Items that require pick up will be coordinated through the Environmental Flight. Shop personnel must be available at the time of pick up and must have all required documentation available. ALBERT G.
