This report summarizes performance against goals and objectives for a field demonstration of commercial scale treatment of K048-KO52 sludge and non-listed sludges using a centrifuge and thermal dryer to meet solid fuels criteria and risk based cleanup levels for an impoundment closure at a confidential client`s New Jersey Refinery. The project requires that three surface impoundments be closed in accordance with the conditions of the Refinery`s New Jersey Pollution Discharge Elimination System-Discharge to Groundwater (NJPDES-DGW) permit. Two of the three impoundments are RCRA regulated units. The third impoundment contains a nonhazardous waste. Risk-based, cleanup levels to be achieved for closure of all 3 impoundments are presented. The risk-based cleanup levels implemented at this site were developed to ensure that all treated materials (sludge solids, soil) returned to the impoundments during backfilling/closure will not adversely impact human health or the environment.
