Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA) operates the Specific Manufacturing Capability (SMC) Complex located in Butte County, Idaho at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). The SMC Complex has an existing wastewater system to collect and treat sanitary wastewater and boiler condensate water from the facility. The existing treatment facility consists of three cells: Cell #1 has a surface area of 1.6 acres, Cell #2 has a surface area of 3.2 acres, and Cell #3 has a surface area of 1.6 acres. If the three existing cells are to ever reach capacity, there is a stub out to the northeast for future expansion of the lagoons. The Lagoons were installed in 1994, and were last tested in 2009. All three cells were within the acceptable limit, which at the time was one-quarter inch per day or less. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) is requiring that the seepage tests at SMC be repeated every 10 years.
