Storage and Disposal



                                • Disposal of these items must be done in

                                   accordance with applicable Federal and/or
                                   state laws.

                                • Many states have hazardous waste

                                   management programs that are much more
                                   stringent than Federal law.  For this reason,
                                   you should check with the EPA Regional

                                   Office to determine to what extent these
                                   laws apply to you.

                                • Shotguns used in the deployment of

                                   specialty impact munitions should “if
                                   possible” be dedicated to that function and
                                   clearly marked.

                                • Some teams utilize different colored or

                                   marked barrels or different color fore stock.

                                • A highlighted strip may be placed on the
                                   butt stock of the weapon so only the shooter
                                   knows the munitions used.
