CERCLA site discharges to POTWs: Guidance manual

Technical Report · Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:5860934

The purpose of the guidance manual is to provide the current regulatory framework and technical and administrative guidance that is necessary for a Feasability Study (FS) evaluating the remedial alternative of discharging wastes from Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) sites to POTWs. The remedial alternative is to be evaluated and compared to other alternatives developed in the FS. The POTW discharge alternative consists of discharging untreated or pretreated wastes to a POTW for treatment and disposal. Aqueous wastes from CERCLA sites can constitute a majority of waste treated during remedial clean-up efforts. These wastes can include groundwater, leachate, surface runoff, and other aqueous wastes.
