United States Environmental Protection Agency EPA/600/M-88/019 Center for Environmental Research Information Cincinnati OH 45268 Q05R88111 September 1988 ECHNOLOGY RANSFER The Bridge Between Research and Use New Technology Transfer Publications Manual: Constructed Wetlands and Aquatic Plant Systems for Municipal Wastewater Treatment (#1022) This new publication is being made available on site to attendees of the 61 st Annual Conference and Exposition of the Water Pollution Control Federation in Dallas, Texas, October 2-6, 1988. It compiles all available design and operating criteria for the various systems and includes the following sections: • Aquatic Treatment Systems • Environmental and Health Considerations • Design of Constructed Wetlands • Design of Aquatic Plant Systems • Case Studies and Design Examples These systems include natural and constructed wetlands, ponds, raceways and other structures that are based on combinations of aquatic plants and animals. Interest in aquatic treatment systems for wastewater can be attributed to four basic factors: 1. Public demands for more stringent wastewater effluent standards, including removal of nutrients and trace contaminants as well as organic and suspended matter; 2. Rapidly escalating costs of construction and operation associated with conventional treatment facilities; 3. Recognition of the natural treatment functions of aquatic plant systems and wetlands, particularly as nutrient sinks and buffering zones; and 4. In the case of wetlands, emerging or renewed application of aesthetic, wildlife, and other incidental environmental benefits associated with the preservation and enhancement of wetlands. Manual: Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment (#7003) This new publication has been developed to assist waste generators in meeting current demands to reduce waste. Basic information is provided in developing a waste minimization audit program, with most of the material focused to assist manufacturing facilities. However the generic approach utilized in this manual is presented so that much of this subject matter is applicable to other segments of industry, government or business. The manual is to be used as a source of concepts and ideas. It begins with definitions of terms used in waste minimization practices. This is followed by brief discussions of incentives for waste minimization and economic considerations. Five phases of a waste minimization audit program are outlined in this manual: • Planning and organization • Information gathering • Work minimization audits • Feasibility analysis • Program implementation Waste minimization audit procedures incorporated in the manual are intended to motivate the user to search, screen and put into practice measures involving administrative, material, or technology changes that result in decreased waste generation. Waste Minimization action is a policy specifically mandated by the U.S. Congress in its Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 to RCRA, and with the unprecedented increase in cost of waste management, a heightened general interest in waste minimization is now at hand. Additional contributing factors to interest in waste minimization is the desire on the part of generators, to reduce their environmental impairment liabilities under the provisions of CERCLA (Superfund). Future Technology Transfer Meetings Seminar Series: Leak Detection Methods for Underground Storage Tanks Four seminars will be held this Fall to acquaint the environmental technical community with methods for detecting leaks from underground storage tanks (USTs). The seminars will be presented in the following locations: San Francisco, CA - September 12-13, 1988 King of Prussia, PA - September 26-27, 1988 Atlanta, GA - October 27-28, 1988 Rosemont, IL - November 29-30, 1988 The purpose of these seminars is to present results of EPA's research effort to determine the performance of UST leak detection methods. The seminar sessions will be presented by those who have been involved in this research. With information from these sessions, attendees will be better equipped to select and integrate tests and thus help manufacturers improve their procedures and equipment. EPA's Office of Research and Development is providing this information through studies conducted by its Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory in Edison, NJ and the Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory in Las Vegas, NV. These two-day seminars are designed for manufacturers of leak detection equipment and instruments, environmental consultants who must choose which tests to use, and ------- contractors who perform leak detection tests. The agenda will cover internal and external tank testing methods, as follows: Part I: Overview of LIST Leak Detection Part II: Internal Tank Leak Detection Methods • Performance of UST Leak Detection Methods • Evaluation Methodology • Volumetric Tank Testing • Line Leak Detection • Automatic Tank Gauging Systems • Selection of In-Tank Detection Option Part III: External Tank Leak Detection (second day) • Background • Site Assessment/Risk Assessment • Groundwater Monitoring • Vapor Monitoring • Setting Alarm Levels Part IV: Integrating Internal and External Methods • Deciding on a Monitoring Strategy • Panel Discussion There is no fee for attending these seminars.

Seminar Series: Field Evaluations of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Technologies Five two-day seminars will be conducted, presenting advances in municipal wastewater treatment. Advances in municipal wastewater treatment technology continue to develop at a dramatic pace, with several hundred Innovative and Alternative (I/A) projects now in operation across the country. Many studies have been undertaken by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to ascertain actual field- scale performance and capital and O&M costs of I/A technologies, as well as to document problems encountered with their design, construction, and operation. Specifically, this seminar series will: • Provide actual full-scale operating data to improve the data base of design engineers and their client municipalities in properly considering alternative municipal wastewater collection and treatment systems and in performing accurate cost-effective analyses of these alternatives. This will increase the probability of optimum system choice. • Identify problem technologies that have not performed as anticipated, necessitating modification and/or replacement (M/R) actions. The performance, design, and operation of these technologies will be discussed. This seminar series will present information on several new technologies not covered in previous seminars, as well as newly developed design, performance, and operating data on some technologies that were. The information presented will be of major benefit to those involved in the evaluation, design, and/or approval of municipal wastewater systems, especially I/A technology applications. Specific technologies to be addressed include: sulfide corrosion of sewers, rainfall-induced infiltration, exfiltration, intrachannel clarifiers, draft tube aeration, constructed wetlands, UV disinfection, in-vessel composting, low- energy incineration. The seminars will be presented in the following locations: Schenectady, NY - December 7-8, 1988 Charlotte, NC - January 9-10, 1989 Chicago, IL - January 12-13, 1989 Spokane, WA - January 23-24, 1989 San Francisco, CA - January 26-27, 1989 There is no registration fee.

Additional information on the contents of the workshops can be obtained by contacting Doug Williams, USEPA-CERI, 26 W. Martin Luther King Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45268. Seminars on "Corrective Action Technologies and Applications" Completed The fifth in this series of seminars was held in Los Angles on June 14-15, 1988 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel. These Seminars provided information on alternative technologies for implementing corrective measures when RCRA/CERCLA cleanup activities are required. The seminars covered the basic screening methods for evaluating suitable technologies along with examples of successful applications in the field. Specific topics included polluntant containment, preinvestigative measures, chemical detoxification methods, biological treatment, thermal treatment, solidification/stablization of wastes, and management issues for successfully implementing corrective measures. These topics also dealt with interim as well as long term management and technology application issues involving corrective measure implementation. Work is underway to produce a Technology Transfer Seminar Publication that will be available in early 1989. Workshop on "Drinking Water Contamination" Completed The fourteenth in this series of workshops was held at the Hilton Inn in Valley Forge/King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, August 22-24, 1988. These workshops were designed with input from States and USEPA Regional representatives to address their specific program needs for responding effectively to drinking water contamination incidents when they occur. They were also designed to provide consistent processes for officials involved in managing drinking water contamination incidents nationwide. Topics included health effects of contaminants, analytical methods, and best available treatment technologies for three major classes of chemicals: volatile organics, inorganics and pesticides. Current regulatory initiatives were discussed, and an overview of USEPA's Office of Drinking Water Health Advisory Program was given. Each workshop attendee had an opportunity to take part in hands on case studies designed to demonstrate risk assessment and risk management procedures for specific chemicals of concern (i.e, aldicarb, TCE and vinyl chloride). Methods of risk communication were also examined. Speakers were from EPA's Office of Drinking Water, Office of Research and Development and regional offices, state and local offices, and consulting organizations. Work is underway to produce a Technology Transfer Seminar Publication that will be available this Fall. Additional information can be obtained by contacting Jim Smith, USEPA-CERI, 26 W. Martin Luther King Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45268. AWWA National Meeting and Convention The EPA Offices of Research and Development (ORD) and Drinking Water (ODW) cooperated in an exhibit at the June 19-23, 1988 American Water Works Association National Meeting in Orlando, Florida. Approximately 11,000 state and utility personnel along with consultants, manufacturers and academicians registered for this meeting. As part of the exhibit, ORD demonstrated the Integrated Risk Management System (IRIS). IRIS is an electronic data base containing health risk and EPA regulatory information on specific chemicals. It was developed for EPA staff in response to the growing demand for consistent risk information on chemical substances for use in decision- making and regulatory activities. IRIS is accessible to state and local environmental health agencies. It is available to libraries, private citizens and other organizations through Dialcom, Inc. Electronic Mail telecommunications system. Also, as part of the exhibit, ORD displayed and made available to participants the following publications that are pertinent to the Agency's Drinking Water Program.

The SITE Program and Information Clearinghouse - Update In 1986, EPA's Offices of Solid Waste and Emergency Response and Research and Development established the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation or SITE program. The purpose is to assist technology developers in the evaluation of new and innovative treatment, measurement, and monitoring technologies. Through treatment technology demonstrations, the SITE program seeks to encourage the use of alternative or innovative treatment technologies at Superfund and other hazardous waste sites to achieve more permanent protection of human health and the environment. Under the program, EPA jointly conducts full-scale technology demonstration and evaluation project with a developer at a Superfund site. The developer demonstrates the technology, while EPA evaluates the performance of the technology, its reliability and costs. In addition, EPA is assisting private industry in developing emerging technologies from the conceptual stage to pilot-scale demonstration through cost-sharing agreements. EPA will document the SITE demonstration results in reports to be made available to Federal, State and private cleanup managers and other interested parties. Recognizing that access to this, and other treatment information, is essential to the acceptance and use of alternative technologies, the SITE program developed an Information Clearinghouse to collect, synthesize and disseminate technology performance data. The clearinghouse has three components: • A hotline provides callers with up-to-date information on SITE projects, demonstration schedules and the availability of the results, and also refers callers to other sources of information. The number is 800-424-9346 or (FTS) 382-3000 in Washington, DC. • An electronic bulletin board, part of a planned computerized database network, provides summary information on the SITE projects, demonstration schedules and results. Since we are in the pilot phase, this bulletin board is currently only available to Federal and State hazardous waste cleanup personnel These personnel may contact Jim Cummings, EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, 202-382-4686 (FTS 382-4506), for information on joining the electronic bulletin board. • A collection of reports, journals and other documents is housed in the EPA Library's Hazardous Waste Collection. This collection is available at EPA Headquarters and is accessible using onsite personal computers at EPA's 10 regional office and five laboratory libraries. SITE documents will be added as they become available. EPA envisions expanding this Information Clearinghouse to include data generated by other EPA programs. For more information on the clearinghouse, contact the hotline at 800- 424-9346 or (FTS) 382-3000 in Washington, DC. Several reports will be available shortly from the SITE program. A final report on the Peak Oil demonstration in Brandon, Florida, will be available this fall, along with a project summary containing pertinent results and performance data. The Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation Program, Progress and Accomplishments - A Report to Congress EPA is required to submit a report to Congress annually on the progress and results of the SITE program. This Report presents the accomplishments during FY 1987 and through January 30, 1988. During this period a demonstration program, measurement and monitoring techniques development program, and technology transfer program were developed. The primary focus has been on the demonstration program where the major objective is to develop reliable performance and cost information on innovative technologies so they can be considered in Superfund decision making. At the close of FY 1987, 20 developers had been selected to participate in the program, ten from each of two solicitation cycles.

Waste Minimization Audit Report: Case Studies of Minimization of Solvent Wastes and Electroplating Wastes at a DOD Installation The U.S EPA's Office of Research and Development is supporting the development and evaluation of a model hazardous waste minimization audit (WMA) procedure. It uses the EPA hierarchy of waste minimization (WM) options, with source reduction being more desirable and recycle/reuse less desirable. Treatment options, although not considered WM, are evaluated if neither of the former alternatives is available. The WMA program has concentrated on ORD's top priority RCRA K and F waste list Audits were conducted at generators of K071 and K106 wastes, K048-K052 wastes, F002-F004 wastes and F006 wastes. This WMA was carried out at a DOD installation The audit was aimed at developing WM options for F002, F004, and F006 wastes For their electroplating facility, three source reduction options and two recycle/reuse options were developed for cadmium/cyanide wastes and two source reduction options for chromium wastes. Implementation of these options could result in EPA delistmg of the F006 wastes with a payback period from 4 to 21 months, depending on the choice of options. Savings in F006 waste disposal costs could amount to $120,000, annually For their paint stripping solvent facilities, the WMA resulted in two source reduction ------- options yielding a payback from 6 to 8 months, with savings in waste solvent disposal costs of $53,000, annually NTIS PB88-166780 $14.95. Waste Minimization Audit Report: Case Studies of Minimization of Mercury-Bearing Wastes at a Mercury Cell Chloralkali Plant This WMA was carried out at two mercury cell chloralkali plants. These audits were aimed at developing WM options for K071 and K106 wastes generated at these plants. The mercury level in the high-volume K071 waste (brine treatment sludge) was too low to permit economical recovery and recycle However, retorting of the K106 waste (mercury- bearing wastewater treatment sludge) for mercury recovery and recycle is technically feasible. Six source reduction options for the K071 wastes were studied but only one was technically and/or economically feasible. This option was the replacement of mercury cells with the newer membrane cell which is highly capital intensive ($20 million). Two treatment options were considered for the K071 wastes with their implementation resulting in delisting of the waste, a savings in disposal costs ranging from $325,000 to $380,000, and a payback period ranging from 2 to 2 3 years. NTIS PB88- 166798 $1995. Waste Minimization in the Printed Circuit Board Industry: Case Studies The effectiveness of various waste minimization practices or technologies in the printed circuit board and semiconductor manufacturing industries was evaluated The most significant waste streams in these industries are waste halogenated solvents and metal bearing sludges This report presents the findings of case studies conducted at five printed circuit board manufacturing facilities and one commercial treatment/recovery facility. Two case studies focus on the recovery of spent halogenated solvents and the remaining four cases discuss the recovery or reduction of metal plating and etching process wastes. Technologies discussed include ultrafiltration, solvent distillat- ion/fractionation, electrolysis, as well as reduction and precipitation NTIS PB88-161575 $19.95. Factors in Assessing the Compatibility of FMLs and Waste Liquids This project examined various factors in the compatibility of flexible membrane liners (FMLs) with waste liquids and other hazardous substances encountered at waste storage and disposal facilities. Factors examined included the swelling of FMLs and other FML-related compositions in organics, calculation of the solubility parameters of these compositions, distribution of organics between aqueous solutions (e.g. leachates and FMLs), and variables in EPA Method 9090 compatibility testing of FMLs and waste liquids.

Superfund Remedial Design and Remedial Action Guidance This document provides assistance to EPA, states, Army Corps of Engineers, and private parties who plan, administer and manage remedial design and remedial action projects, to assure the projects are performed consistently and expeditiously. The document has been organized to reflect the general sequence of events that occurs prior to, during and after remedial design and remedial action at a Superfund site NTIS PB88-107529 $1895. Field Studies of In Situ Soil Washing The U S EPA and Air Force conducted a research program demonstrating the removal of hydrocarbons from a sandy soil utilizing in situ soil washing A 50/50 blend of two commercially available surfactants was used to treat compounds with soil adsorption constants (K) between 10 and 1,000,000 Contaminants included dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, as well as aromatics Results of the studies showed that the aqueous surfactant solutions were not measurably effective. It is likely that this same ineffectiveness would occur at other chronic spill sites with contaminants possessing high soil sorption values i e , K > 1,000 Finally, use of in situ soil washing would require treatment of the groundwater.
