Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 8, 1984, Congress enacted the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to RCRA. Among the most significant provisions of HSWA are 3004(u), which requires corrective action for releases of hazardous waste or constituents from solid waste management units at hazardous waste treatment storage and disposal facilities seeking final RCRA permits; and 3004(v), which compels corrective action for releases that have migrated beyond the facility property boundary. EPA will be promulgating rules to implement the corrective action provisions of HSWA, including requirements for release investigations and corrective measures. This document, which is presented in four volumes, provides guidance to the owner or operator of hazardous waste management facilities as to the conduct of the second phase of the RCRA Corrective Action Program, the RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI). Instruction is provided for the development and performance of an investigation based on determinations made by the regulatory agency as expressed in the schedule of a permit or in an enforcement order issued under HSWA3008(h). The purpose of the RFI is to obtain information to fully characterize the nature and extent of releases of hazardous waste or constituents. This information will b used to determine whether interim corrective measures or a Corrective Measures Study will be necessary.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental investigations were conducted during 1993-1995 at eleven solid waste management units (SWMUs) or sub-SWMUs at the Tooele Army Depot-North Area (TEAD-N) as part of a Phase II Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Facility Investigation (RFI) under the terms of a State of Utah Corrective Action Permit. Environmental sampling and an ecological survey were conducted at each SWMU to determine the horizontal and vertical extent of waste constituents found to be during a present previous Phase I RFI at TEAD-N. The generated data were used to perform risk assessments for each of the investigated SWMUs. A total of 299 soil samples, two sediment samples, seven water samples, and two total suspended particulate (air filter) samples were collected during the Phase II sampling, as well as 19 background soil samples. Based on the Phase I and Phase II sampling results, and the subsequent risk assessments, two SWMUs are recommended for no further action under the current Corrective Action Permit and nine SWMUs or sub-SWMUs are recommended for RCRA Corrective Measures Studies (CMS) based on possible risks to on-site workers or the environment.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WAG 6 comprises a shallow land burial facility used for disposal of low-level radioactive wastes (LLW) and, until recently, chemical wastes. As such, the site is subject to regulation under RCRA and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). To comply with these regulations, DOE, in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), developed a strategy for closure and remediation of WAG 6 by 1997. A key component of this strategy was to complete an RFI by September 1991. The primary objectives of the RFI were to evaluate the site's potential human health and environmental impacts and to develop a preliminary list of alternatives to mitigate these impacts. The WAG 6 one of three solid waste management units evaluated Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) existing waste disposal records and sampling data and performed the additional sampling and analysis necessary to: describe the nature and extent of contamination; characterize key contaminant transport pathways; and assess potential risks to human health and the environment by developing and evaluating hypothetical receptor scenarios. Estimated excess lifetime cancer risks as a result for exposure to radionuclides and chemicals were quantified for each hypothetical human receptor. For environmental receptors, potential impacts were qualitatively assessed. Taking into account regulatory requirements and base line risk assessment results, preliminary site closure and remediation objectives were identified, and a preliminary list of alternatives for site closure and remediation was developed.

Download or read book RCRA Facility Investigation for the Townsite of Los Alamos New Mexico written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, Los Alamos, New Mexico was established as an ideal location for the secrecy and safety needed for the research and development required to design a nuclear fission bomb. Experiments carried out in the 1940s generated both radioactive and hazardous waste constituents on what is presently part of the Los Alamos townsite. Under the RCRA permit issued to Los alamos national Laboratory in 1990, the Laboratory is scheduled for investigation of its solid waste management units (SWMUs). The existing information on levels of radioactivity on the townsite is principally data from soil samples taken during the last site decontamination in 1976, little information on the presence of hazardous constituents exists today. This paper addresses pathway analysis and a preliminary risk assessment for current residents of the Los Alamos townsite. The estimated dose levels, in mrem per year, show that the previously decontaminated SWMU areas on the Los Alamos townsite will not contribute a radiation dose of any concern to the current residents.
