The Savannah River Site Sanitary Landfill is an approximate 70-acre site. In 1974, it was a 32-acre site receiving solid waste from a variety of sources. In 1987, the original area reached its capacity and a 16-acre northern expansion and a 22-acre southern expansion were added. The southern expansion is nearing capacity, and the northern expansion opened in 1993. During its operation, the Sanitary Landfill received rags and wipes used with F-listed solvents. In 1988, the Sanitary Landfill became the subject of a RCRA facility investigation and was designated a RCRA solid waste management unit because of recurring evidence of RCRA hazardous constituents in the groundwater. DOE and SCDHEC reached a settlement agreement, outlining the steps DOE would take to comply with RCRA regulations. Principally, DOE would close the portions of the, landfill containing the solvent rags. This paper describes the technology selection process conducted for the SRS Sanitary Landfill site and the innovative in situ treatment alternative selected for the groundwater and the vadose zone associated with the landfill.
