Waste-water characterization and hazardous-waste survey, Reese Air Force Base, Texas. Final report, 21-30 September 1987
The USAFOEHL conducted a waste-water and hazardous-waste characterization survey from 21 to 30 September 1987 at Reese AFB, Lubbock County, Texas. The scope of the survey included the characterization of the waste-water exiting the main oil-water separator, entering and exiting the sewage treatment plant into the sewage lake, in the industrial lake, and from 19 points in the sanitary and storm sewer system. Hazardous-waste-management surveys were conducted at 28 locations generating or accumulating potentially hazardous waste. Priority pollutants were found in the sanitary and storm system, in the surface impoundments, and in a septic system. Apparently all industrial discharges containing hazardous constituents had not been eliminated from the sanitary and stormwater systems. Priority pollutants found in the influent of the sewage treatment plant and in the sewage lake were not significant in nature or concentration. Pretreatment and removal of hazardous constituents from the waste water will be required if the hazardous material cannot be prevented from entering the wastewater stream.
