Wastewater characterization and hazardous waste survey, Hickam AFB, HI
Book

OSTI ID:7119081
The US Air Force Occupational and Environmental Health Laboratory characterized the industrial wastewater in the Hickam AFB sewers and conducted a hazardous waste survey. The scope of the survey included characterizing the major industrial wastewater discharges from the base and determining if applicable discharge standards were being violated. A total of 23 sampling sites were evaluated including 10 lift stations and 10 oil/water separators. The hazardous waste survey included visiting 44 shops to determine chemical usage and hazardous materials management practices including collection, storage, disposal practices and accumulation points. Seawater infiltration of the sewer was found to cause chloride concentration limitations to be exceeded at four locations. Seawater was also a contributor to high chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations. The COD limitation was exceeded at 11 locations. The photographic wastewater from building 2045 exceeded the limits for chlorides, sulfides, phenols, silver, and chromium. Recommendations from the study include: (1) determine where the seawater is infiltrating the sewers and take action to reduce the chloride level to below the limit; (2) install a pretreatment plant for the 548 RTG photographic wastewater; (3) develop a comprehensive waste analysis plan; (4) increase hazardous waste monitoring; (5) service the silver recovery cartridge at 548 RTG. 13 refs., 13 figs., 7 tabs.
