Cutlip, L B; Spaeth, R; Upham, B E

The X-705 effluent treatment system of the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant was installed as a result of the impending closure of the RCRA-regulated X-701B holding pond. This pond was shutdown in order to comply with the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 which mandated that discharges to the pond be terminated prior to November 8, 1988. Startup and optimization of the effluent treatment system have been completed. A description of these activities is included in this report. Proposed NPDES discharge limits have also been developed. 4 tabs., 17 figs.
