WILT, ANS 16.1 the TCLP leach tests were performed on solidified/stabilized (s/s) wastes treated by Solidtech, Inc. of Houston, Texas as part of a US EPA SITE demonstration project conducted in December 1988 at the Imperial Oil Company/Champion Chemical Company Superfund site in Morganville, New Jersey. All three leaching tests performed on the s/s wastes indicated that the primary contaminants of concern (lead and PCBs) were not leachable. The ANS 16.1 static leach test for the s/s wastes provided diffusion coefficients (D{sub e}) for Al, Ca and Na that were comparable to those obtained from the WILT test. However, plots of the ANS 16.1 data indicated that wetting of the samples confounded the static leaching process. The large column WILT D{sub e} was used to estimate that less than 0.8 {mu}g/cm{sup 2} lead would leach from a one-cubic yard block of s/s waste in contact with groundwater over a 60-month leaching period. This corresponds to concentrations less than 10 {mu}g/L lead in the water contacting the block of s/s waste.
