Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7016902
This amendment presents the K048 and K051 solvent extraction data used to develop the proposed treatment standards for nonwaste waters; presents the K048 incinerator scrubber water data used to develop the proposed treatment standards for waste waters; and provides EPA's rationale and technical support for developing proposed revised treatment standards for regulated organic constituents and adding treatment standards for xylene and naphthalene in K048-K052 nonwaste waters and for selecting cyanide as a proposed regulated constituent in wastewater forms of K048-K052. The document amends sections in the Final BDAT Background Document for K048-K052 by presenting additional waste characterization data, treatment performance data, accuracy-corrected data, selection of cyanide as a proposed regulated constituent in K048-K052 waste waters, and calculation of proposed treatment standards, respectively.
