Description:
The Waste Reduction Evaluation at Federal Sites (WREAFS) Program consists of a series of demonstration and evaluation projects for waste reduction conducted cooperatively by EPA and various parts of the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE), and other Federal agencies. he objectives of the WREAFs Program include: (1) conducting waste minimization workshops; (2) performing waste minimization opportunity assessments; (3) demonstrating waste minimization techniques or technologies at Federal facilities; and (4) enhancing waste minimization benefits within the Federal community. ne of the WREAF sites chosen for performance of a waste reduction assessment is the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard (PNSY). his Federal facility specializes in revitalizing and repairing ships already in fleet. ide range of industrial processes are performed at the PNSY, many of which generate wastes. his project focused on the processes and wastes of operations related to aluminum cleaning, spray painting, and bilge cleaning. even waste minimization options were evaluated during this project using EPA's Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment Manual.
