Proposed amendment to best demonstrated available technology (BDAT) background for K037. Volume 15. Draft report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6906755
This amendment presents a discussion of biological treatment as an applicable and demonstrated technology for reducing regulated constituents in organophosphorus waste-water streams, performance data supporting biological treatment as an effective technology for treating organophosphorus wastewater streams, rationale for transferring biological-treatment performance data to wastewater forms of K037, and 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 waste-water 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 waste-waters. Finally, Section 5 amends Section 7 by presenting revised numerical treatment standards for disulfoton and toluene in K037 waste-waters.
