The Hazardous Material Control Center is the focal point for the requisition, receipt, distribution, re-utilization and turn-in of hazardous materials utilized on the installation. Any items identified as HAZMAT, as determined by the Federal Stock Class, and normally requisitioned through the Federal Supply System, will be supplied via the HMCC. Appropriate customer funded accounts will be established to facilitate this requirement. Items purchased via credit card must be approved by and assigned a control number by the HMCC staff. The HMCC also will be the point of receipt for HAZMAT purchases. This procedure will allow HMCC staff to query on-shelf stocks to determine if an item is available for purchase or free issue and to facilitate HAZMAT tracking (bar coding, etc.). On-post housing residents are encouraged to turn in serviceable excess products, i.e., cleaning supplies, paint, vehicle liquids, etc., prior to a permanent change of station. This reusable material will be available for issue to other authorized on-post family housing occupants free of charge.
