Environmental summary for calendar year 1983: US Department of Energy Bendix Kansas City Plant, Kansas City, Missouri

Technical Report · Sun Apr 01 04:00:00 EST 1984

OSTI ID:6918150

Environmental monitoring for significant non-radioactive pollutants was conducted to allow evaluation of effluent effects on the environs of the Federal Complex. The monitoring data were compared to appropriate standards and guidelines. Ambient air and surface water analyses have shown no discernible effects on the environment from plant discharges. However, on-site ground water analyses conducted in CY1983 detected the presence of chlorinated solvents. The impact of the levels detected presently is unknown because no federal or Missouri State Standards exist for solvents in ground water. Studies to clarify this situation presently are being conducted. The plant's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit required effluent monitoring of discharges entering Indian Creek and Blue River. Abatement activity and discharge monitoring reports have been routinely submitted to the State of Missouri as required by the permit. The Kansas City, Missouri, divisions of Air and Water Pollution Control routinely require monitoring and reporting of effluents to the atmosphere and to the City's Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). In accordance with the technical requirements of the EPA regulations implementing the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, hazardous waste disposal activities are reported to the EPA and the State of Missouri. 15 references, 4 figures, 4 tables.
