Liquid effluent retention facility dangerous waste permit application

Technical Report · Sat Jun 01 04:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:5493255

This permit application addresses the transfer and storage of a mixed-waste stream called process condensate' generated in the 242-A Evaporator. Process condensate is piped via 4,950 feet (1,509 meters) of double-wall pipe to any one of four 6.5-million gallon (24.6-million liter) double-lined basins; the double-wall pipe, basins, and ancillary equipment comprise the LERF. Eventually, the liquid will be piped directly to a new treatment system (covered under a separate Part B permit application) specifically designed to reduce the concentrations of dangerous constituents of the process condensate to acceptable levels for discharge. The LERF provides storage capacity for the process condensate during a period of projected shortage of double-shell tank (DST) volume at the Hanford Site. The DST waste is to be processed in the 242-A Evaporator, significantly reducing the volume of slurry returned to the DSTs for long-term storage for future treatment and/or disposal. Process condensate is a byproduct of this waste reduction process and is being stored temporarily in the LERF until the process condensate can be treated and disposed of as nonhazardous.
