4.1.2 Generator Support Function (continued)
GI personnel are assigned to generators on the basis of the level of support required and
the types of waste generated. GI personnel, as a minimum, will review the waste characterization
methods and sign RFD forms. GIs are available to provide other required divisional waste
management responsibilities such as: 1) assisting with waste characterization; 2) PK and Waste
Stream Profile Sheets (WSPS); 3) document preparation, packaging, and completion of the
Request for Disposal (RFD) form(s); 4) assisting with or managing waste accumulation areas;
5) assisting with pollution prevention, waste minimization, recycle/reuse; 6) and supporting
audits and assessments.
GIEs provide the same types of services as GIs and are programmatically matrixed to the
LWS organization; however, the GIEs provide services primarily within their own organization
and only within the limits of their specific waste type training, (e.g., solid low-level).
Both GIs and GIEs are required to meet specific qualification and training standards to be
eligible for these roles and responsibilities (see Section 6). GIs are trained on all UT-Battelle
waste types, whereas, GIE qualification and training may be limited to the specific waste types
the GIEs will be handling. New GI/GIE personnel must demonstrate prerequisite qualifications
and complete the requisite training. All GIs and GIEs are members of the Generator Interface
Group, which has periodic meetings to communicate lessons learned, share information, and
receive continued training on specific topics.
UT-Battelle divisions have the option of selecting and training their respective division
staff or requesting that an LWS GI be assigned to serve in the GI function. However, waste-
generating divisions must utilize a GI or GIE as the verifier ("verification officer") of waste
forms and confirmation (including verification checks) that the waste meets the applicable WAC
as well as providing for the signature at Control Point 1.
The waste data verification element of the WCP is provided by Waste Acceptance
Coordinators. This staff is qualified by training and experience to perform expert review of the
waste characterization data and packaging information provided via the RFD. The signature of a
Waste Acceptance Coordinator is required on every Waste Pickup Request (WPR) to indicate
that the waste and packaging meet the acceptance requirements of the receiving organization.
The Waste Acceptance Coordinators also provide advisory services in a subject matter expert
(SME) role to generators and GI/GIE staff on unique wastes and situations and may perform the
final certification of a waste data package that has been technically reviewed by another Waste
Acceptance Coordinator.
The waste package field verification element of the WCP is provided by waste handling
group. This group is qualified by training and experience to evaluate the acceptability of certain
features of packaged waste in the field. The signature of a waste handler is required on a
checklist contained in the data package to verify that a field review has been completed on every
waste package and to indicate (within the limits of the review) that the package(s) meets the
requirement of the receiving organization.-9-
