Abstract
This report describes the findings of the Pollution Prevention Opportunity Assessment of the United States Postal Service, Northern Virginia Facilities: Engineering Research and Development (ERD), Processing and Distribution Center (PDC) and Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF) located in Merrified, Virginia. The mission of each of the functional areas of the ERD, PDC, and VMF, including operations performed, processes and materials employed and the wastes and emissions generated, are described. The Assessment Team makes recommendations concerning the procurement of office supplies, maintenance supplies and hazardous materials; management of hazardous materials; purchase of chemical on EPA's 33/50 list; improvement of source separation and recycling of paper and paper products, metals, plastics, and cooking grease; management of unwanted equipment; and other recommendations that can lead to the elimination, reduction, or improved management of the facility's solid and hazardous waste streams and emissions to air and water.
