HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION
Hazardous
waste can become a significant problem. Failure to have policies and procedures
in place to deal with the hazardous waste you create is foolish and a recipe
for failure. This appendix provides an example of the types and volumes of
hazardous waste that can be generated. The wastes identified in the chart provide
a one-year snapshot (1996) of the hazardous waste generated by U.S. forces
in support of Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR. About 38 percent of the waste was generated
in Hungary, and about 62 percent was generated in Bosnia-Herzegovina/Croatia.
