  • The mixed waste Management Facility: Cost-benefit for the Mixed Waste Management Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
    1996
    Co-Authors: S.d. Brinker, R.d. Streit
    Abstract:

    The Mixed Waste Management Facility, or MWMF, has been proposed as a national testbed Facility for the demonstration and evaluation of technologies that are alternatives to incineration for the treatment of mixed low-level waste. The Facility design will enable evaluation of technologies at pilot scale, including all aspects of the processes, from receiving and feed preparation to the preparation of final forms for disposal. The MWMF will reduce the risk of deploying such technologies by addressing the following: (1) Engineering development and scale-up. (2) Process integration and activation of the treatment systems. (3) Permitting and stakeholder issues. In light of the severe financial constraints imposed on the DOE and federal programs, DOE/HQ requested a study to assess the cost benefit for the MWMF given other potential alternatives to meet waste treatment needs. The MVVMF Project was asked to consider alternatives specifically associated with commercialization and privatization of the DOE site waste treatment operations and the acceptability (or lack of acceptability) of incineration as a waste treatment process. The result of this study will be one of the key elements for a DOE decision on proceeding with the MWMF into Final Design (KD-2) vs. proceeding with other options.

  • The mixed waste Management Facility
    1995
    Co-Authors: R.d. Streit
    Abstract:

    During FY96, the Mixed Waste Management Facility (MWMF) Project has the following major objectives: (1) Complete Project Preliminary Design Review (PDR). (2) Complete final design (Title II) of MWMF major systems. (3) Coordinate all final interfaces with the Decontamination and Waste Treatment Facility (DWTF) for Facility utilities and Facility integration. (4) Begin long-lead procurements. (5) Issue Project Baseline Revision 2-Preliminary Design (PB2), modifying previous baselines per DOE-requested budget profiles and cost reduction. Delete Mediated Electrochemical Oxidation (MEO) as a treatment process for initial demonstration. (6) Complete submittal of, and ongoing support for, applications for air permit. (7) Begin detailed planning for start-up, activation, and operational interfaces with the Laboratory`s Hazardous Waste Management Division (HWM). In achieving these objectives during FY96, the Project will incorporate and implement recent DOE directives to maximize the cost savings associated with the DWTF/MWMF integration (initiated in PB1.2); to reduce FY96 new Budget Authority to {approximately}$10M (reduced from FY97 Validation of $$15.3M); and to keep Project fiscal year funding requirements largely uniform at {approximately}$$10M/yr. A revised Project Baseline (i.e., PB2), to be issued during the second quarter of FY96, will address the implementation and impact of this guidance from an overall Project viewpoint. For FY96, the impact of this guidance is that completion of final design has been delayed relative to previous baselines (resulting from the delay in the completion of preliminary design); ramp-up in staffing has been essentially eliminated; and procurements have been balanced through the Project to help balance budget needs to funding availability.

  • Metallurgical Laboratory Hazardous Waste Management Facility groundwater monitoring report: First quarter 1992
    1993
    Co-Authors: C.y. Thompson
    Abstract:

    During first quarter 1992, 18 groundwater monitoring wells of the AMB series at the Metallurgical Laboratory Hazardous Waste Management Facility (Metlab HWMF) at Savannah River Plant were visited for sampling. Groundwater samples were analyzed for certain heavy metals, indicator parameters, radionuclides, volatile organic compounds, and other constituents. This report describes the results that exceeded the US Environmental Protection Agency Primary Drinking Water Standards (PDWS) and the Savannah River Site flagging criteria during the quarter. Tetrachloroethylene exceeded the PDWS in wells AMB 4A, 5, and 7A; trichloroethylene exceeded the PDWS in wells AMB 4A, 4B, 4D, 5, and 7A; and total alpha-emitting radium (radium-224 and radium-226) exceeded the PDWS in well AMB 5. Total organic halogens exceeded the Flag 2 criterion in wells AMB 4A, 5, 6, 7A, 7B, and IODD; manganese was elevated in wells AMB 4D and TODD; iron was elevated in well AMB TODD; and pH was elevated in well AMB 10A.

  • Metallurgical Laboratory Hazardous Waste Management Facility groundwater monitoring report
    1993
    Co-Authors: C.y. Thompson
    Abstract:

    During fourth quarter 1992, samples from 18 groundwater monitoring wells of the AMB series at the Metallurgical Laboratory Hazardous Waste Management Facility were analyzed for certain heavy metals, indicator parameters, radionuclides, volatile organic compounds, and other constituents. Six parameters exceeded final Primary Drinking Water Standards (PDWS) and the Savannah River Site Flag 2 criteria during the quarter. The results for fourth quarter 1992 are fairly consistent with the rest of the year's data. Tetrachloroethylene exceeded the final PDWS in well AMB 4D only two of the four quarters; in the other three wells in which it was elevated, it was present at similar levels throughout the year. Trichloroethylene consistently exceeded its PDWS in wells AMB 4A, 4B, 4D, 5, and 7A during the year. Trichloroethylene was elevated in well AMB 6 only during third and fourth quarters and in well AMB 7 only during fourth quarter. Total alpha-emitting radium was above the final PDWS for total radium in well AMB 5 at similar levels throughout the year and exceeded the PDWS during one of the three quarters it was analyzed for (third quarter 1992) in well AMB 10B.

  • Mixed Waste Management Facility (MWMF) groundwater monitoring report
    1992
    Co-Authors: C.y. Thompson
    Abstract:

    During third quarter 1992, 12 constituents exceeded the US Environmental Protection Agency Primary Drinking Water Standards (PDWS) in one or more groundwater samples from monitoring wells at the Mixed Waste Management Facility and adjacent facilities. Tritium and trichloroethylene were the most widespread constituents: 57 (48%) and 23 (19%) of the 119 monitoring wells contained elevated tritium and trichloroethylene levels, respectively. Elevated constituents were found primarily in Aquifer Zone IIB[sub 2] (Water Table) and Aquifer Zone IIB[sub 1] (Barnwell/McBean). Elevated constituents also occurred in five Aquifer Unit IIA (Congaree) wells. Upgradient wells BGO 1D and 2D and HSB 85A, 85B, and 85C did not contain any constituents that exceeded the PDWS. Downgradient wells in the three hydrostratigraphic units contained elevated levels of tritium, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, chloroethene, antimony, 1,1-dichloroethylene, gross alpha, lead, nonvolatile beta, thallium, total alpha-emitting radium (radium-224 and radium-226), or cadmium.

  • The Mixed Waste Management Facility closure and expansion at the Savannah River Site
    1993
    Co-Authors: M.f. Bullington, R.c. Frye-o'bryant
    Abstract:

    The 119-acre Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility (LLRWDF) is the disposal Facility for solid, low-level radioactive waste generated at SRS. Operations, construction, and laboratory waste, such as protective clothing, decontamination residues, and analytical waste, are disposed of at LLRWDF. In 1990, the closure of the Mixed Waste Management Facility, which lies in LLRWDF, was completed in accordance with the South Carolina Hazardous Waste Regulations. The 58-acre MWMF received mixed waste from the early 1970`s to 1986. The closure construction consisted of dynamically compacting the wastes to provide a stable surface and placing a low permeability cap to minimize rainwater infiltration, thus minimizing contaminant migration into the groundwater. Now, MWMF must be expanded to cover approximately 20 additional acres within LLRWDF to close trenches that received mixed wastes from 1986 until 1990. SRS plans to complete this closure similar to that used at MWMF. It has been proposed to state regulators that this closure consist of dynamic compaction and a low permeability composite cap. This Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) closure plan was submitted to regulators in August 1993. The location and contents of the trenches to be closed presented challenging questions to the project team. Several studies were completedmore » to resolve these questions. The LLRWDF poster will display information and results from these studies. This paper describes closure activities for MWMF, completed in 1990, and plans proposed for expanding this closure to include the LLRWDF suspect solvent rag trenches.« less

  • The Mixed Waste Management Facility closure and expansion at the Savannah River Site
    1992
    Co-Authors: M.f. Bittner, R.c. Frye-o'bryant
    Abstract:

    Process wastes containing radioactive and hazardous constituents have been generated throughout the operational history of the Savannah River Site. Solid wastes containing low level radionuclides were buried in Low Level Radioactive Disposal Facility (LLRWDF). Until 1986, waste containing lead and cadmium was disposed of in the Mixed Waste Management Facility (MWMF) portion of LLRWDF. Between 1986 and 1990, waste containing F-listed hazardous rags were buried. Current Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations prohibit the disposal of these hazardous wastes at nonpermitted facilities. This paper describes the closure activities for the MWMF, completed in 1990 and plans proposed for the expansion of this closure to include the LLRWDF suspect solvent rag trenches.

  • Mixed Waste Management Facility closure at the Savannah River Site
    1991
    Co-Authors: M.f. Bittner
    Abstract:

    The Mixed Waste Management Facility of the Savannah River Plant received hazardous and solid low level radioactive wastes from 1972 until 1986. Because this Facility did not have a permit to receive hazardous wastes, a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act closure was performed between 1987 and 1990. This closure consisted of dynamic compaction of the waste trenches and placement of a 3-foot clay cap, a 2-foot soil cover, and a vegetative layer. Operations of the waste disposal Facility, tests performed to complete the closure design, and the construction of the closure cap are discussed herein.
