Stabilized flue gas desulfurization sludge, known as Poz-O-Tec, is being landfilled at the Conesville Power Station of the Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Company. This is the first full-scale application of the IU Conversion Systems, Inc. fixation process for treating FGD sludge. This study has consisted of the background information review and geohydrologic investigations necessary to formulate a long term monitoring program which will determine if full-scale application of the IUCS process (1) reflects laboratory and pilot scale results; (2) provides environmentally acceptable disposal methods; (3) causes operating problems; and (4) meets current and anticipated regulatory agency requirements. Well monitoring to date has indicated that either the Poz-O-Tec or an adjacent emergency sludge retention pond is responsible for levels of conductivity, and concentrations of calcium, total dissolved solids, sulfate, and magnesium which are in excess of recommended drinking water standards. Additional monitoring is needed to accurately define the source.
