The Waste Stream and Residue Identification and Characterization (WSRIC) program, conducted during 1990 by EG&G Rocky Flats, Inc., at the Department of Energy (DOE) Rocky Flats Plant (RFP), was designed to provide complete and accurate characterization of all process outputs, including wastes, products, and residues. The WSRIC program provides the fundamental information required by the RFP for effective management of its nonhazardous, hazardous, and mixed wastes, in addition to management of its residues. This paper reviews how the WSRIC program obtained data to characterize waste and residue streams. The WSRIC program consisted of two phases. The first phase provided field identification, evaluation, validation, and verification of current RFP processes, wastes or residue streams, and waste management units. Utilizing this process knowledge and associated assumptions, waste and residue streams were characterized to determine their regulatory status under 40 CFR 261 and the Colorado Code of Regulations (6 CCR 1007-3 Part 261). The second phase of WSRIC established and implemented a sampling/analysis program to verify and augment the results of the initial process characterization effort. The sampling/analysis program utilized waste stream information generated in the first phase and prioritized each waste stream for sampling and analysis.
