Amendment to best demonstrated available technology (BDAT) background document for K037. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6604043
The amendment to the Final Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BDAT) Background Document for K037 presents (1) a discussion of biological treatment as an applicable and demonstrated technology for reducing regulated constituents in organophosphorus wastewater streams, (2) performance data supporting biological treatment as an effective technology for treating organophosphorus wastewater streams, (3) rationale for transferring biological treatment performance data to wastewater forms of K037 and, (4) calculation of new numerical standards. Specifically, Section 2 of the document supplements Section 3 of the Final BDAT Background Document for K037 by introducing biological treatment as an applicable and demonstrated technology for treating wastewater forms of K037. Section 3 of the document amends Section 4 of the Final BDAT Background Document for K037 by adding performance data for biological treatment of parathion and toluene. Section 4 amends Section 5.2 by identifying biological treatment as BDAT for K037 wastewaters. Finally, Section 5 amends Section 7 by presenting revised numerical treatment standards for disulfoton and toluene in K037 wastewaters.
