Atlanta, GA 30365 404-347-4727 Site Name: Aberdeen, NC, Superfund Site (NPL) Location of Test: Aberdeen, NC BACKGROUND; This treatability study summary reports on the results of a trial burn of pesticide-contaminated soil from the Aberdeen, NC Superfund site. The trial burn using the Vesta mobile rotary kiln incinerator was designed to demonstrate that this system can destroy the pesticides in a manner consistent with RCRA standards. OPERATIONAL INFORMATION; The soil was fed to the incinerator at rates of 960 to 1023 pounds per hour. There were three trial runs completed, each for approximately 3 hours. No details are provided on the soil matrix or QA/QC accomplished. Since this Trial Burn Test Report is a summary of analytical results, additional operational information is not presented. PERFORMANCE; The primary standards of performance were: 1. Destruction of the pesticides from the soil fed to the incinerator. 2. Destruction/removal of the designated principal organic hazardous pollutants (POHC's). 3. Particulate stack emissions. 4. Hydrogen chloride stack emissions. Secondary standards included: 1. Other pesticide stack emissions. 2. Carbon monoxide emissions. 3. Dioxin, furan and other chlorinated organic emissions. The soil treated had initial concentrations of P,P-DDT and alpha-BHC of greater than 131 and 29 ppm, respectively. The pesticides in the soil fed to the incinerator were effectively removed, as evidenced by the removal of the principal organic hazardous pollutants, P, P-DDT and alpha-BHC (99.993% and 99.998% removal efficiency, respectively). All other pesticides found in the contaminated soil were not detected in the treated soil. TCDD (dioxins) and TCDF (furans) were not found in the treated soil.

The purpose of the trial burn was to demonstrate that this incinerator system can destroy the pesticides in a manner consistent with Federal hazardous waste (RCRA) standards. • The trial burn plan was issued July 14, 1986. This report contains data obtained by RECON SYSTEMS, INC. The original field and laboratory data, calculations, calibration data, and quality assurance/quality control package are included in a separately issued document (PART II). The primary standards of performance are: 1. Disappearance of the pesticides from the soil fed to the incinerator. 2.

Due to the operational characteristics as carried out at the burn site,1 various changes were made to the plan. These are summarized in the following letter to the US EPA. In particular, it should be noted that the various scrubber waters were not analyzed since the system was not in steady state, but rather a closed loop. Analyses under such conditions could not be interpreted. Propane was used instead of fuel oil, so it was not analyzed. ------- RECOIN SYSTEiMS, INC. Rome 202 North, P.O.

Changes in the analyses to be performed and types of samples to be analyzed were made from the original protocol after observing and discussing incinerator operation. All samples that were taken during the testing period, whether on the list to be analyzed or not (of which you have duplicates) , will be held for 90 days after report submittal. Certain types of samples, though omitted from the original protocol, could contribute to, or contain contaminants from the system and will be analyzed for these contaminants. Other types of samples seemed not to have any way to contribute or detract from the contaminant concentration in the system. An example of the types of samples that are going to be held but not analyzed is the "purge water" which, after observing and discussing the system operation, turned out to be scrubber water in' a closed loop system. Below is a table describing the sample type, whether sample was combined with other samples, etc. F.NC.IM LKING. CONSULTING. LAUOKATOKY. Pll Or I'LANC. I't.ANTTCSTSP.IWICrS I'Ol.l.l; I ION CONTROL.
