183-D filter backwash wastewater stream-specific report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6349915
The proposed wastestream designation for the 183-D Filter Backwash Wastewater is that this stream is not a dangerous waste, pursuant to the Washington (State) Administrative Code (WAC) 173--303, Dangerous Waste Regulations. This proposed designation is based on applying both process knowledge and sample data to the WAC 173-303 requirements for the three types of dangerous waste: listed, criteria, and characteristic dangerous waste. The listed'' dangerous waste determination was made with process knowledge; the criteria'' and characteristic'' dangerous waste determinations were made with sampling data. Process knowledge was based on such things as Material Safety Data Sheets and facility inspections for chemical products stored or used in the 183-D Filter Building. Sample data were obtained from samples taken downstream from all process contributors. The proposed designation is made using validated data collected from samples taken downstream from October 1989 through March 1990. Data from samples taken before October 1989, while not validated, are included in Appendix A for completeness. 10 refs., 4 figs., 7 tabs.
