Introduction
Learn about this Geographical Information System (GIS) tool that applies patial
information and analysis technologies to evaluate resource demands associated with
tranporting large volumes of waste
Large-scale disasters have the potential to generate a significant amount of waste.
For example, Hurricane Katrina and the Joplin Missouri tornado resulted in 100 million and 1.5 million
cubic yards of waste, respectively. Man-made chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear (CBRN)
incidents either by way of terrorism, war, or accident have the potential to generate as much waste or
more, and both natural and man-made incidents are prone to generate some form of hazardous waste.
Recovery is profoundly impacted by waste management issues and the strategies selected to manage those
issues.
The quantification, segregation, transportation, and storage of waste can be an arduous and costly
undertaking. Furthermore, these processes are intricately linked with the decisions made throughout the
recovery timeline. Therefore, the remediation, including waste management, must be holistically
considered. Understanding these complex interactions can be facilitated by using models and tools that
adhere to the "system-of-systems" approach. To better understand and predict waste management issues,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Homeland Security Research Program (HSRP) is
developing a suite of tools and resources for planning and recovery purposes. EPA's All Hazards Waste
Logistics Tool uses spatial information and analysis techniques to support evaluating resource demands
associated with transporting large volumes of waste. The tool was developed to help decision makers
better understand potential options for managing waste and to illuminate potential capacity constraints,
transportation considerations, and impact of waste categorization to inform increased preparedness.
How to Use This Guide
The purpose of this guide is to provide the necessary information to
operate the tool. Described in this guide are methods for installing,
configuring, and operating the tool. It is highly recommended that
users have previous experience with and a working knowledge of
ArcGIS® before operating the tool.
The "icon key" to the right contains symbols used throughout this
guide to highlight important information and additional guidance.

Description
Tools that facilitate planning through scenario-based analyses are necessary to increase preparedness,
identify problematic scenarios that may inform earlier decisions to alleviate constraints and encourage
discussions to identify effective solutions in advance of an incident. To better understand and predict
waste management issues, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Homeland Security Research
Program (HSRP) is developing a suite of tools and resources for planning and recovery purposes,
including two newly developed GIS-based tools:
•	Waste Staging and Storage Site Selection Tool1 uses spatial information and analysis
techniques to support conducting a suitability analysis to identify candidate areas for
consideration. The tool was developed to help decision makers better understand potential
options for managing waste and to illuminate potential capacity constraints to inform increased
preparedness. The tool analyzes siting criteria for a specified geographic area to identify candidate
sites and their total available land surface areas to support waste management operations.
•	All Hazards Waste Logistics Tool addresses the need to evaluate considerations related to the
resource demands associated with transporting and disposing of large volumes of waste. The tool
calculates the cost and time to manage a user-specified quantify of waste and allows users to run
routing scenarios with user-defined destinations. Factors specific to waste type, hauling rates, and
acceptance rates allow users to explore options and evaluate constraints to improve preparedness
for managing large volumes of waste. The Waste Staging and Storage Site Selection Tool was
designed to work in tandem with the All Hazards Waste Logistics Tool to identify potential
staging locations to be included in the logistics decision-making process.

Systems Approach
For wide area incidents, response and recovery efforts may begin without collecting or considering
essential information. Decisions related to decontamination and waste management, including the disposal
strategy, will affect the cost, duration, and effectiveness of the response. The process of understanding
how these response activities influence one another and contribute to the overall solution is referred to as
a systems approach. The systems approach recognizes that each response activity is coupled with another,
where decisions made for one response action impact decisions and options that exist for another. For
example, this dynamic is observed where the amount of waste to be managed is profoundly impacted by
the decontamination approach that is selected, or when waste management constraints may drive
decontamination decisions. Figure 2 demonstrates the balance of operations (e.g., planning response, and
recovery) versus available resources. This figure describes both the systems approach (i.e., processes are
interrelated and impact one another) and the cost-benefit of decisions (i.e., the benefit of decisions and
their impact on available resources). With time, operationally driven decisions drive or tip the balance in
favor of more resources. This approach typically causes remediation to become resource intensive in
terms of cost and time (e.g., a specific decontamination method is costly, but is quicker). While EPA waste
tools (e.g., Waste Estimation Support Tool) encourage a phased and cohesive approach (i.e.,
decontamination, waste estimation, and disposal), the tools compile and display results in a way that allows
users to see the "big picture" and how small changes in these approaches can greatly impact each
individual response activity.
This "big picture" approach facilitates planning through scenario-based analyses that can increase
preparedness, identify problematic scenarios, and ultimately identify effective solutions in advance of an
incident. The systems approach seeks to balance the overall resource demand by leveraging the system as
a whole and predicting an optimal outcome, which in return provides greater insight and improves
decision making. The All Hazards Waste Togistics Tool embodies this approach by allowing the users to
see how their decisions impact other operations (e.g., the amount of waste generated as a function of
decontamination and the classification of waste as it relates to waste disposal facility options) with regard
to resource demand (e.g., cost and time).

Design Components
Esri's ArcGIS Pro was used to develop the graphical user interface to support
completing tasks required to estimate resource demands associated with transporting large quantities of
waste. ArcGIS allows users to: (1) interact with geoprocessing tools, map layers, datasets, and other data
types, and connect them to a process; (2) iteratively process feature class modifications or attribute tables
in a workspace; (3) visualize the workflow through a task-based user interface; and (4) leverage multiple
geoprocessing tools that handle processing steps that are coded using Python scripting. Finally, the results
are output into a Microsoft Excel™ dataset that captures the scenario conditions, computational results,
and references to default factors used. Figure 3 illustrates the overall tool design.

USER'S GUIDE
Methodology to Estimate Resource Demands
Research was conducted to support estimating cost and time calculations related to transporting
waste. Factors were developed for seven waste type combinations and are specific to waste type and
medium (i.e., solid or liquid):
1.	Radioactive: Contact-Handled (Solid)
2.	Radioactive: Contact-Handled (Liquid)
3.	Radioactive: Remote-Handled (Solid)
4.	Radioactive: Remote-Handled (Liquid)
5.	Hazardous (Solid)
6.	Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) (Solid)
7.	Construction and Demolition (C&D) (Solid)
Solid waste amounts are in cubic yards or cubic meters (yd3 or m3), and liquid waste amounts are in
gallons or liters (gal or L). Trucks are assumed to have large volume hauling capacity (see Truck
Shipment Loading Factors below). Unit conversions are performed as required in the tool and are
not reflected below. Resource demand calculations used within the tool are described below. The
values provide a starting point and users can adjust the values (see Chapter 6 for guidance on how to
change values).
User Inputs
W = Waste Amount (yd3/m3 or gal/L, depending on the waste type)
D = Distance (mi)
S = Average Driving Speed (mi/h)
Adjustable User Inputs (Defining a Scenario Condition)
RT = Road Tolls ($/shipment)
MC = Miscellaneous Costs ($/shipment)2
1/DC = Vehicle Decontamination Cost ($/shipment)
SSC = Staging Site Cost ($/day)
NTA = Number of Trucks Available (trucks)
TPD = Trucks Processed per Day (trucks/day)
DH = Driving Hours (h/day)
TCM = Total Cost Multiplier (additional percentage of total cost)2
Table 1 presents default values that are provided that can be changed by the user.

Figure 1, several inputs are required for the resource demand calculations. While default facilities are
provided as a starting point, users should consider gathering and/or creating scenario-specific facility data
to develop more realistic scenarios. Specifically, the quantity of waste a facility can manage is a significant
driver in the analysis, and the more representative facility-specific values are, the better the analysis.
Chapter 6 provides detailed instructions and illustrates the necessary steps to run the tool.

Locations
Understand whatfacilities are included with the tool and how you can bringyour own waste
storage and disposal locations
The tool allows users to load waste storage and staging locations within a
scenario to explore options for transporting waste. As discussed in Chapter 2, whether a location is
designated as a staging location or a disposal location will impact how costs are estimated. The tool is
flexible to allow users to specify whether a location should be treated as a staging or disposal location. The
sections that follow describe the default facilities that are included with the tool, how users can load user-
defined facilities, and how output from EPA's Waste Staging and Storage Site Selection Tool can be used
as input for this tool.
Default Disposal Facility Data
Default facility data are provided with the tool. The inventories of facilities that are included are consistent
with facility inventories that are available with related HSRP tools such as the Incident Waste Decision
Support Tool4 (I-WASTE). Table 3 provides a description of the facility inventories that are included with
the tool.

USER'S GUIDE
As discussed in Chapter 2, the amount of waste a facility can accept and/or store is a key parameter that
impacts results. To provide a starting point for users, a default acceptance quantity is supplied. The default
values are based on typical daily processing rates for facilities and assume a 90-day support period for
recovery efforts. Table 4 presents the daily acceptance rates that were identified through research for both
liquid and solid waste forms for the waste types that are included in the tool. Users can adjust the default
acceptance quantities that are included with the tool using the estimated daily acceptance values or obtain
more estimates from facilities.
A
I Capacity is only defined by volume. Users bringing their own facility data will need to
I process any mass to volume conversions prior to populating the schema for use within the
| tool.

User-Defined Facilities
The tool allows users to bring their own facility data. Strict adherence to
a feature layer specification is required to use this feature. An example
schema is included within the tool's assets. Specifically, the
ExampleUserData geodatabase and UserDefmedFacilities can be used as
a template to create a user-defined point feature class to import into the
tool. Table 5 defines the field attributes.
Key feature layer requirements include:
•	Match the template field names and types for correct loading of user facilities as point data.
•	Designate each user-defined facility as "Disposal" or "Staging" to support resource demand
calculations.
•	Update each waste accepted type field to "True" or "False" to specify the type of waste a facility
or site can accept.
•	Specify the volumetric amount of solid and/or liquid waste, and corresponding units, the facility
or area can take.
•	The tool accepts both units of U.S. Customary as "yd3" and "gal" or Metric as "m3" and "L".
o Unit abbreviations must be exact.

Staging and Storage Locations
The All Hazards Waste Logistics Tool was designed to conveniently accept output from EPA's Waste
Staging and Storage Site Selection Tool without the need for significant pre-processing. During Step 6, the
Waste Staging and Storage Site Selection Tool output (specifically the ModelOutput geodatabase) can be
added as User-Defined Facilities data in the "Load Facilities to Network" geoprocessing window. See
instructions in Chapter 6 for more information on selecting and uploading the data to the tool.
EPA's Waste Staging and Storage Site Selection Tool allows users to identify candidate areas that are
represented as a polygon and whose capacity to stage/store volumes of liquid and solid waste are
calculated and output with the results, along with the centroid of the Staging Site polygon. The All
Hazards Waste Logistics Tool imports these output areas and populates the "Facility_Waste_Mgt" field as
"Staging." Additional required data are mapped and populated in the waste accepted amounts and units
fields in the Facilities Network layer.
I ? Note: The Staging Site output will always be initially designated as "Staging" in the |
J facility_waste_mgt field. Users can manually change the waste management type in the attribute J
j table of the Facilities layer in the "Contents" pane. j

Routing Network
Understand how routing resources are used ivithin the tool
CHAPTER
S
A routing network is required to calculate both distance and travel time for routes
that are identified. The tool also leverages Esri's Network Analyst toolbox to perform network analyses.
? Facility routes are ranked based on the attributes and configuration of the network dataset
selected by the user. ArcGIS Online defaults to ranking by distance. Users will need to
manually adjust any rank order presented in the results output to reflect different routing
priorities. Additionally, as described in Chapter 6, users can prune routes to exclude altogether.
Network Dataset Options
The tool provides two primary options for defining the network dataset. Users must specify which of the
following two methods will be used for a scenario:
• "Pay-as-you-Go" Model: Users will leverage Esri's ArcGIS Online as the source for the
network dataset and expend credits based on the licensing construct established for their
organization.
• "Bring your Own Network" Model: Users will leverage a local, file-based organizational
network dataset. Typically, this option may leverage a license for Esri StreetMap Premium or a
tailored network maintained by the organization that reflects local or regional specific conditions.
Esri's Network Analyst Extension is required.
ArcGIS Pro License, Routing, and Network: Configuration Scenarios
The following four configuration scenarios may exist and are illustrated in Figures 5 through 9. We expect
that users will identify with one of the scenarios to better understand the relationship among key tool
components.
• Configuration Scenario #1 — Typical Enterprise User + "Pay-as-you-Go" Network dataset
• Configuration Scenario #2 - Typical Enterprise User + "Bring your Own Network", along with a
Network Analyst license
• Configuration Scenario #3 — Concurrent Pro Licensed User without Network Analyst but having
ArcGIS Online credits
• Configuration Scenario #4 — Concurrent Pro Licensed User + "Bring your Own Network",
along with a Network Analyst license

USER'S GUIDE
Step 1: Create Work Environment
Processing time to build the work environment is estimated as less than one minute.
Click the "Run" button in the bottom right of the Tasks pane to start Step 1: Create Work Environment.
As shown in Figure 11 below, users will specify up to three key elements:
• "Project Unit System", metric or U.S.
customary units:
Metric:
Solid Waste Volume: m3
Liquid Waste Volume: L
US Customary:
Solid Waste Volume: yd3
Liquid Waste Volume: gal
• "Network Source" for routing (see
Chapter 5 for a detailed discussion on
routing), and
• ArcGIS Online Account.
This pane also includes space to display
Scenario Characteristics. These elements are
populated in Step 5 but are persistently
displayed for ease of reference. These values
are blank until they are initially specified.

The tool assumes that most users will use ArcGIS Online credits to perform routing;
therefore, the tool defaults to a setup that references www.arcgis.com as the "Network
Source" and the user's ArcGIS Online Account.
To provide additional flexibility, the tool also supports using a local network (e.g., Navteq
Streets). The "Network Source" field can point to a local network dataset, if desired, and the
user should ignore the "ArcGIS Online Account" field. This field value will mirror the login
credentials active in the upper right corner of ArcGIS Pro. Because a user could have more
than one account, this field identifies the account to which credits will be deducted for
routing.
25

USER'S GUIDE
Users can also modify the default characteristics of the Network Dataset that is selected. Only options
that are available within the network dataset that is loaded will be available. Listed below are example
characteristics that are typically available:
• Network Dataset Travel Mode*
• Network Distance Field
• Network Distance Field Unit
• Network Time Field
• Network Time Field Unit
o
5 Note: The "Travel Mode" field will initially default to "Trucking Distance". Users can
change the "Travel Mode" to any mode available within the network dataset selected. Only
travel mode is changeable. The other network characteristics are informational only.
Click the "Run" button in the bottom-right of the Geoprocessing pane to create the work environment
needed to run a scenario.
» Note: Running Step 1 will create a "fresh" environment. Users can alter scenario conditions
and retain any adjustments made to attribute data within the current work environment to
generate different results sets. Users can also perform a Save As on the project and retain
multiple projects for comparison purposes.
Review Work Environment Settings
Users should notice that the Network Analyst extension is now visible within the project and several
project components are added to the "Contents" pane as shown in Figure 12. Key project components
include:
• Network — Contains the network dataset including specifications related to facilities, the incident
location, specified barriers, and routes (if any).
• Support Area — Feature class defining the geographic area from which waste management
facilities can be identified.
• Incident Area — Feature class defining the incident area location.
• Scenario Results — Feature class that captures the routing and tool calculation results.
• User Provided Facilities — An empty feature class into which users can load their own custom
facility dataset, conforming to the specific schema described in Chapter 4.
26
-------
USER'S GUIDE
• Settings — Contains all the reference tables used in calculations.
Users can access the attribute table for each reference input and
modify default values as needed. Any changes made will persist in
the current, local instance of the tool. Download a new copy of the
tool to start with defaults. Refer to Chapter 2 for an overview of
calculations and defaults used by the tool.
For scenario "Factor Sets" (see Chapter 2), users can modify values using
one of two methods (see Figure 13 for an example):
• Edit via Attribute Tables: Users can hand it existing values or
create a new "set" of values. Users are cautioned that this process is
manual and requires careful attention to properly link each of the
five factors with a unique objectID to relate the Factor Set. Users
may find copying an existing row and modifying values as needed
may be helpful. This process needs to be repeated for all five factor
tables to generate a complete Factor Set. The tool does not
currently contain sophisticated error checking to verify a new
Factor Set is complete.
• Edit Settings.json File: An alternative method is to edit the .json
file directly to modify existing default values and/or create new
blocks of code representing a new Factor Set.
Advanced editing is only recommended for users with the
requisite skills to correctly relate a set of linked data elements.
Users should also be mindful of the unit system selected to be
sure new entries are normalized to the right units.

to participate in a table of content folder hierarchy, as they do not have a visible aspect. To
best organize these attributes, they are treated as feature classes with an empty geometry
column and no symbology to mimic a table.

? Selecting a support area is optional. A reasonable support area will limit the number of
facilities and thus speed up routing. Users may want to select a large enough support area to
access more waste management facilities for managing waste. Defining the right size support
area is a balance between including enough facilities and removing far too distant, unwanted
facilities.

Choose facility types to support waste management efforts. By default,
facility types accepting the waste type specified in Step 5 are preselected;
however, the tool allows you to add additional facility types. As described in
Chapter 4, the tool comes with default facility locations for the universe of
facilities addressed by the tool. In this step, users can load the default facilities
and/or load a user-provided set of facilities.
Choose one or more facility types to include in a scenario and for which
waste amounts will be allocated. Figure 20 illustrates the eight possible waste
type/medium combinations (highlighted in red) that the tool prechecks based on waste type/medium.
Note that that RCRA Hazardous Waste Landfill with LARW is never pre-checked but offered as a
supplemental option.

Load Default Facilities
The tool includes a default universe of facilities as a starting point. You can choose to load default facilities
or uncheck to include only a user-defined universe of facilities.
Default facilities include a value for "Quantity Accepted". This is an estimated value only
and does not reflect facility-specific conditions nor agreement by the facility to accept waste.
33
-------
USER'S GUIDE
If a user prefers to analyze only their user-defined facilities, uncheck the "Load Default Facilities" setting
and follow the instructions in the next section.
Click the "Run" button in the bottom-right of the Geoprocessing pane to load the facilities into the
specified support area. Click the "Next Step" button located in the bottom-right comer of the Tasks pane
to advance to Step 7.
Load User-Defined Facilities
As illustrated in Figure 21, users can add user-defined facilities by clicking on the "Browse" icon to
navigate to the user-defined facility feature class of interest. Following the selection of each feature class, a
new row will appear. This file input dialog accepts zero to many input files. Add one or more feature
classes and use onscreen controls to delete any feature class. Users will need to ensure that user-provided
facility data conform to the prescribed schema (see Chapter 4).

USER'S GUIDE
Exclude Facilities
There are several ways a user can exclude facilities from
consideration, include:
1. Don't load them into the facilities layer in the first place.
As discussed in earlier sections, the tool provides default
facilities. Users can delete facilities as needed or load a
user-defined facility data set.
2. Remove them after loading and before routing. As
shown in Figure 12, users can view and directly
manipulate the work environment. The facilities layer is located with the Network space.
Users should ensure they are in editing mode and remember to save any changes (refer to
Figure 22).
3. Users can also control whether facilities are considered for routing by establishing barriers
(see Step 7).
4. Remove any routes to those facilities after routing. Step 9 provides users with the option to
eliminate routes to facilities when computing resource demands.
Limit by Support Area
As shown in Figure 21, check "Limit by Support Area" to only facilities located within the Support Area
defined in Step 4.
Truncate Existing Facilities
The tool initially starts with an empty facility layer; therefore, checking or unchecking this option only
becomes relevant if a user is rerunning a scenario. As shown in Figure 21, the "Truncate Existing
Facilities" checkbox is unchecked. If a users chooses to load facilities a second time, this control provides
a way to specify whether you prefer to start with a clean map or append additional facilities. Users may
also find this feature helpful to make corrections. For example, if the wrong facility layer was loaded.
Adjust Quantity Accepted
As discussed, default values for "Quantity Accepted" are provided. Users should adjust these quantities to
reflect realistic conditions if possible. Users can adjust values by:
• Editing the default GeoJSON file or incoming user datafile to change the "Quantity Accepted"
fields for specific facilities. The change would be permanent and persist with the project instance.
• Adjusting individual facilities that are loaded to the network facility layer by clicking on a facility
pin and manually changing the values before executing the routing solver. The change would not
persist with the project instance and would need to be repeated each time the facility is reloaded
from source.
Users are cautioned
that any changes made to
"local" default facility data
will persist with the tool.
Users should download a
new copy of the tool if
original, unedited default
data are preferred.

USER'S GUIDE
Step 7: Draw Routing Barriers
Step 7 allows users to define routing barriers as needed. As
shown in Figure 23, barriers can be added to the map as points,
lines or areas using standard Esri editing tools.

Users are cautioned to
avoid specifying large barrier
areas when using ArcGIS
Online routing or when
attempting to optimize routing
performance. Doing so will
exclude all roads under the
barriers within the routing
solver that could in turn
exceed established barrier
limits.

If you are alerted that edits are pending in the Geoprocessing pane, click "Save" to save your
sketching. Click the "Next Step" button located in the bottom-right corner of the Tasks pane to
advance to Step 8.
Step 8: Solve Routing Scenario
Step 8 invokes a Geoprocessing tool that executes the network solver task. Figure 24 illustrates key
parameters for Step 8. The current Scenario ID is displayed. Users should enter a new Scenario ID if users
are iterating again and desire to compare previous results. Doing so will create a new results dataset;
otherwise, results will be overwritten.
Users are initially presented with a pre-populated quantity for the "Suggested # of Facilities to Find"
parameter. This suggestion is based on the waste quantity to allocate and an average capacity of facilities
within the designated support area.
"Total Estimated Facility Capacity" is the summation of the "Quantity Accepted" field of
all facilities loaded within the designated support area. Default facilities included with the tool
include a placeholder value for "Quantity Accepted". This is an estimated value only and does
not reflect facility-specific conditions nor agreement by the facility to accept waste.
36
-------
USER'S GUIDE
Selecting enough facilities prior to executing the routing solver will ensure an efficient use of the routing
solver. Users can adjust this number as needed. As shown in Figure 24, users can also compare the "Total
Estimated Facility Capacity" to the "Waste Amount" value. If "Total Estimated Facility Capacity" is less
than or close to the "Waste Amount" entered, users should consider expanding the support area to handle
the full waste amount prior to running the routing solver in Step 8.

Users relying on Esri's ArcGIS Online Network dataset are cautioned that each
submission to the network solver (i.e., whenever you click "Run" in Step 8) will use ArcGIS
Online credits associated with the user account linked to this session. Users with limited credits
may wish to lower the number of facilities in which to route (at the risk of not returning
enough facilities to manage the specified waste quantity), while users without credit limitations
may choose to increase the number of routes to consider.
Click the "Run" button on the bottom-right of the Geoprocessing pane to execute the routing solver.
Click the "Next Step" button located in the bottom-right comer of the Tasks pane to advance to Step 9.
Step 9: Eliminate Routes
Step 9 is an optional step that provides users with flexibility to prune away unwanted routes. There may be
instances where more routes to facilities are returned than are needed or cases where a user needs to
eliminate a route. Using standard Esri editing tools, a user can remove a route from further consideration.

Results Output
The tool exports results calculated in Step 10 and saves output into a Microsoft Excel workbook. Refer to
Chapter 2 for information on the calculations. The workbook includes three tabs:
• Summary — Provides an aggregated view of the amount of waste (allocated and unallocated,
if any), a breakdown of costs, and a total cost amount.
• [ScenarioName] — Follows the naming convention specified by the users, provides a
summary of the scenario and specific facility routing details, and includes a snapshot of the
image if option enabled by the user.
• Reference — Provides access to underlying values used in the calculations.

5 Results for individual scenarios will be exported separately. Users can pull worksheets into a
single workbook to facilitate comparisons and track how differences in scenario conditions
and/or factors impact results.
Create and Compare More than One Scenario
After completing Step 11 for a specific scenario, users can create additional scenarios to support
comparative analyses. For example, a user may want to assess resource and/or logistical tradeoffs if waste
is handled as MSW vs Hazardous. Users can return to any steps previously completed and make
adjustments. To preserve the adjustments for comparison purposes, the user should assign unique
