Determination of baseline levels of toxic nonradioactive substances at the ICPP
This report documents the concentrations of nonradioactive hazardous materials in off-gas, precipitation, and soil at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP). Also, methods of collection and analysis were evaluated for boron, cadmium, fluoride, and mercury in ICPP off-gas and for mercury and cadmium in ICPP soil. ICPP stack release rates for B, Cd, F/sup -/, and Hg were 2 +- 0.7, less than or equal to 8, less than or equal to 1.6, and less than or equal to 50 g/day, respectively. Analyses of ICPP precipitation showed Hg and Cd concentrations of less than or equal to 0.07 ngHg/mL and less than or equal to 100 ng Cd/mL. ICPP soil had an average of 31 ppB Hg and < 4 ppM Cd. None of these levels pose a significant environmental concern.
