Is it true that EOD units must obtain a Sub-part X permit if they consistently use a single safe disposal area?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only if it exceeds a certain amount of disposal

  4. Only for nuclear materials

The correct answer is: False

EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) units typically operate under specific regulatory frameworks that dictate the management and disposal of military munitions. The requirement for a Sub-part X permit, which relates to the management of hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), depends on several factors, including the type and quantity of waste generated, as well as the disposal methods employed. In the context of consistently using a single safe disposal area, EOD units do not need to obtain a Sub-part X permit simply for using one disposal area. This is because the permit is generally required when an operation generates hazardous waste that exceeds certain thresholds or does not adhere to safe disposal practices. Moreover, the term "safe disposal area" indicates compliance with regulations that address safety and environmental impacts, thus diminishing the necessity of a specific permit for routine usage. The concept surrounding the Sub-part X permit primarily pertains to operations involving hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal. Since EOD units may follow guidelines for safe handling and disposal of munitions that don't trigger the need for such a permit, it is clear that they wouldn't need a Sub-part X permit just for maintaining a consistent disposal practice.
