Y-12 Industrial Waste Landfill IV closure/post-closure plan

Technical Report · Wed Apr 22 00:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:5073874

The operating permit for the Y-12 Industrial Waste Landfill IV was issued on January 4, 1989. The facility is a permitted Class II disposal facility and accepts non-radioactive, non-hazardous industrial waste as detailed in the Design and Operating Procedures for the Y-12 Industrial Waste Landfill IV, '' Y/TS-399, April 1988. Waste material typically disposed of at the landfill include cardboard, plastics, rubber, metals, wood, paper (incidental amounts), and special wastes approved by the TDEC. Materials that are not accepted in the landfill include putrescible garbage, free liquids, radioactively-contaminated materials, and hazardous waste. In general, facility closure will consist of placement of the final cover material, the establishment of vegetation on the cover, and modification of drainage systems as necessary to control run-on, runoff, and sedimentation in off-site water courses. These activities will be implemented to achieve the following closure performance standards as specified in TN Rule 1200-1-7-04(8): (1) Minimize the need for further maintenance; (2) Protect public health and the environment by controlling, minimizing, or eliminating the post- closure escape of solid waste or solid waste constituents, including leachate, contaminated runoff, or waste decomposition products, to surface waters, groundwater, or the atmosphere. (3) Provide for the post-closure care of the facility as necessary to ensure the above performance standards are attained.
