Types and Quantities of Waste Generated:

See Table 1 in this attachment.

Types and Quantities of Waste Minimized:

Recyclable waste stream quantities for 2006 totaled 35,217 pounds and included batteries, fluorescent lamps (intact), scrap metals, used oil, used oil filters, used oil/water and used cooking oil.

Hazardous waste stream quantities for 2006 (3,450 pounds) was 36% below the 2005 waste generation (5,388 pounds) due to less generation of expired shelf life warehouse stock and 92% below the 1991 baseline generation (43,794 pounds)

Nonhazardous waste stream quantities for 2006 (14,914 pounds), excluding recyclable waste streams, was 66% below the 2005 generation (43,555 pounds) due to no generation of wastewater and wastewater sludge from equipment cleaning activities.

Summary Explaining Waste Generation, Goals and Impediments:

1. Recycled Wastes A. Generation:

Batteries, fluorescent lamps (intact), scrap metals, used oil, used oil filters, used oil/water and used cooking oil.

B. Goals:

Goal is to increase recycling activities where source reduction opportunities are not feasible or possible. GGNS recycled less material in 2006 due to a reduction in scrap metal and electronics shipped for recycle C. Impediments:

Lack of cost-effective recycling options and the absence of an established method for tracking unmanifested wastes inhibit the effectiveness of capturing site waste minimization efforts GGNS-WMP-2006 - 3

2. Hazardous Wastes A. Generation:

Cleaning solutions from plant maintenance activities are shipped off-site for disposal. Currently, no waste minimization opportunities for this waste stream have been identified.

Off-Specification and expired chemicals are shipped off-site for disposal. Although this generation resulted from discarding out-dated and unusable products and is considered intermittent, tighter purchasing and inventory controls are in place in an effort to minimize this waste stream.

Paint waste from painting activities are shipped off-site for disposal. Currently, no waste minimization opportunities for this waste stream have been identified.

Aerosols from plant maintenance activities are shipped off-site for disposal. Currently, no waste minimization opportunities for this waste stream have been identified Lead paint contaminated debris was shipped off-site in 2006.

This is an infrequently generated waste; therefore, no minimization efforts are planned for this waste stream.

B. Goals:

Goals are to consistently maintain small quantity generator status as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency and to increase recycling activities where source reduction opportunities are not feasible or possible. GGNS maintained small quantity generator status for all of 2006 and recycled waste material that would have otherwise been hazardous waste if sent for disposal. Therefore, GGNS is having success in meeting this goal.

C Impediments:

Materials that are intermittently generated, lack of suitable alternative products and regulatory driven requirements inhibit waste minimization efforts.

GGNS-WMP-2006 - 4

3. Nonhazardous Wastes A. Generation:

Asbestos material from plant maintenance activities is collected at a designated accumulation area and then landfilled off-site.

Currently, no waste minimization opportunities for this waste stream have been identified.

Desiccant is collected at a designated accumulation area and then landfilled off-site. Currently, no waste minimization opportunities for this waste stream have been identified.

Oil contaminated waste from equipment maintenance and plant operational activities are shipped off-site for disposal.

Since this is an intermittent waste stream, waste minimization efforts have not been pursued.

Sulfuric acid spill cleanup material was shipped off-site in 2006 This waste stream was due to a warehouse spill. This is an infrequently generated waste; therefore, no minimization efforts are planned for this waste stream.

Off-Specification and expired chemicals are shipped off-site for disposal This generation results from discarding out-dated and unusable products and is considered intermittent. Tighter purchasing and inventory controls are in place in an effort to minimize this waste stream.

PCB lighting ballasts and debris are collected at a designated accumulation area and then shipped off-site for disposal. These ballasts are being replaced with non-PCB ballasts, which has reduced and should eventually eliminate this waste stream.

B. Goals:

Goal is to maintain nonhazardous waste generation at or below previous levels, and to increase recycling activities, where source reduction opportunities are not feasible or possible. Due to no generation of wastewater and wastewater sludge from equipment cleaning activities, the quantities for 2006 were below those in 2005. Progress is being made in minimizing nonhazardous waste based on review of those waste streams that are generated routinely during non-refueling outage years.

GGNS-WMP-2006 - 5

C. Impediments:

The occurrence of intermittent waste streams, the absence of an established method for tracking unmanifested wastes, and emergent plant and equipment maintenance projects compete with waste minimization efforts.
