AbstractThis study was undertaken to evaluate the waste verification program of a hazardous waste disposal facility. It was needed in support of regulatory actions for hazardous waste disposal facilities that had an obligation to accurately convey of reported data quality to the permitting agency as the decision maker. For collecting of the primary data, field visits and observations were conducted and verified by the checklist questionnaires, to determine what the hazardous waste verification was currently in place at the facility. It was conducted from January to April 1995, at Desa Nambo, Cileungsi, West Java Province, as the first hazardous waste disposal facility in Indonesia. Then, the waste verification program was divided into waste pre-shipment analysis, waste shipment analysis and a final analysis. A final analysis of waste was included either prior the waste to be directly landfilled or stabilized before landfilled at secure landfill, or prior the waste-derived fuels to be delivered to the cement plant. The obtained infonnation was then analyzed whether the facility was in compliance with Indonesia regulations and/or was followed the quality assurance/quality control procedures. As the result, the facility was effective to verify the waste stream to be accepted at the facility site. This was done through an extensive waste analysis plan to identify any waste profile discrepancies, health and safety issues, and additional analyses as the correction actions. A waste analysis plan was consisted process-generating waste information and waste preshipment analysis, and waste shipment analysis. Nevertheless, in terms of quality assurance/quality control procedures, a pemuttmg agency was not recognized the most significant factors in determining the performance as such facility. These significant factors are the quality assurance/quality control procedures for environmental measurement, monitoring, inspection and documentation activities. The desired quality assurance/quality control procedures each activity, system or component, may be of value in support regulatory actions for hazardous waste management program in Indonesia.
