‒ Sample collection activities of bulk liquids contained in ASTs were initiated on August 6, 2003. Additionally, an oil/water interface probe was used to better quantify the volume of water, oils and solvents contained in all above ground tanks. All AST’s had representative samples collected of each layer. Representative sample containers were delivered to a Clean Harbors laboratory for disposal characterization purposes.
‒ All 55-gallon drums and miscellaneous containers were opened, color coded for liquids or solids contents identification. Furthermore, drums containing liquids were consolidated with like materials prior to sampling and inventory. All empty drum containers were staged adjacent to the former waste drum processing/storage building. Drum sampling activities were completed on August 19, 2003.
‒ Non-hazardous liquid waste shipments were initiated on September 3, 2003.
‒ A blind flange was used to eliminate a small leak from Tank S-2 on September 2, 2003.
‒ Project activities will ship all liquid materials to EPA approved off-site TSDFs for recycling, treatment or thermal destruction.
‒ Liquid laboratory waste materials will be prepared for off-site disposal in accordance with TSDF lab-pack guidelines.
‒ During the week of September 1, 2003, a schedule of 2 shipments per day for liquid waste materials will be utilized.
