A comprehensive upgrade of LLNL's (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's) wastewater control program
The sewage from LLNL and from Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore (Sandia) is combined in the LLNL sewer system and discharged through a common sewer outfall into the city of Livermore's community sewer system. The sewage flows to the Livermore Water Reclamation Plant (LWRP) where it is mixed with city wastewater. LLNL sewage is about 10% of the total. The mixed waters are treated and the effluent is either released through a pipeline to San Francisco Bay or used as irrigation water for the municipal golf course adjacent to the LWRP. A comprehensive approach to control of sewer discharges is essential for facilities of the size and diversity found at LLNL and Sandia. The upgrades currently under way at LLNL in sewer monitoring, diversion, and source location will enhance the controls already in place and provide greater assurance to the Laboratory and the Livermore community that we will know about any unacceptable sewer discharges and will be able to keep the material onsite for appropriate handling. The key component of the upgrade, the sewer-monitoring system, is a unique state-of-the-art system that may well prove to be a precedent that will be useful for other plants around the country. The Laboratory will continue to upgrade its sewer-monitoring capabilities with both commercial systems and LLNL-developed systems to meet its special requirements. 4 refs., 8 figs.
