Stabilized flue gas desulfurization sludge, (Poz-O-Tec) has been landfilled at the Conesville Power Station of Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Company since January 1977. At the time of initiation of this investigation, the Conesville operation constituted the first full-scale application of the IU Conversion Systems, Inc. stabilization/fixation system. As such, a utility sponsored research program was considered necessary to determine if full-scale application of the IUCS system (1) reflects laboratory and pilot scale results; (2) provides an environmentally acceptable disposal alternative; (3) causes operating problems; and (4) meets current and anticipated regulatory agency requirements. An evaluation of the above aspects is on-going and is being conducted in two phases. Phase II investigations entail continual well sampling and water quality comparisons, Poz-O-Tec sampling and testing, documentation of disposal operation problems, and evaluation of the overall fixation system. This report contains the results of the First Interim of Phase II (divided into three interims). The work completed in both phases has been designed to be supportive to a groundwater modeling study that was also initiated by Battelle, Pacific Northwest Laboratories. This project will supply the utility industry with an unbiased evaluation of the IUCS fixation system as specifically observed at the Conesville Power Station. The system benefits and drawbacks will be identified for use by utility representatives in the evaluation of FGD sludge disposal alternatives.
