These hazardous waste storage facilities are to be constructed by Defense Logistics Agency on the facility named. They are to be permitted to the base commander. Special effort will be required to issue RCRA permits as quickly as possible so construction will not be delayed. The average permitting time will be 4 to 8 months as estimated by the various states. ------- CERCLA IR Program Description The IR program is divided into four phases and is responsive to CERCLA and E. 0. 12316. Phase I of the IR program is an installation assessment. In this phase, installation files are examined, current employees and key former employees are interviewed, and the terrain and facilities are examined. Limited soil and water sampling may also be conducted to determine if contaminates are present. Phase II is referred to as the confirmation phase. In this phase, a comprehensive survey is conducted to define the problem fully through environmental sampling and analyses and survey data from all technical areas are interpreted and interrelated. Phase III is referred to as technology base development. In this phase, control technology is matched with specific contamination problems at a given site to determine the most economical solution. If control technologies do not exist, they are developed in this phase. Phase IV. the final phase of the IR program, is the operations phase. This phase includes design, construction, and operation of pollution abatement facilities, and the completion of remedial actions. Response to Imminent Hazards The comprehensive IR process outlined here would be expedited in the event that an imminent hazard to health, welfare, or the environment were found. ------- DATE: June 30, 1984 NAME: Redstone Arsenal LOCATION: Huntsville, Alabama I.D.: AL 213820742 MISSION: Headquarters Army Missile Command, Troop training on missiles, ordinance development and training, chemical warfare storage and training and missile test ranges. AREA: 8,650 acres POPULATION: 25,000 COMPLIANCE STATUS AIR: In compliance by certification. WATER: In compliance. Present permit is current. RCRA: Part A submitted. State inspected May 4 & 5, 1983. Found them to be out of compliance. Part B has been requested. CERCLA: Notified; and has completed Phase I of the IRP, now in Phase II of IRP. TOXICS: Organics, inorganics, solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, acids, bases, PCB. PROBLEM AREAS WATER: The AEHA surveyed the facility in September 1982 and a Water Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) was conducted by the state on August 24-25, 1983. Many 0 & M deficiencies were identified but sufficient items have been corrected to bring the facility into compliance. Sewage Treatment Plant #4 has been reworked and its efficiency and BOD removal has been improved. A $350,000 I&I program project to correct the infiltration problem has been completed but the infiltration problem has not been completely corrected. Additional studies are needed to determine the source of the uncontrolled infiltration. There are no provisions being made to reduce the fecal- coliform count as the state does not require chlorination. The bypass pumps have been rewired which corrects the previous problem of overload kickout. ------- Page 2 Redstone Arnsenal The contract for a coalescent plate oil/water separator has been completed; however, the separator did not work properly during cold weather because of lack of heat. A building is being constructed around the oil/water separator and a heater will be installed to make the system operate properly during cold weather. RCRA: The state cited the installation under RCRA for not regularly inspecting the hazardous waste storage areas. The hazardous waste materials were produced by a mission contrac- tor on base, and are under the jurisdiction of Redstone Arsenal. A RCRA inspection program was started in June 83 and a hazardous waste storage area has been designated. The inspection program will continue on a regular basis. A permitted hazardous storage area is scheduled for the FY '85 abatement program. CERCLA: The facility is presently completing Phase II of the IRP program. They are in the process of preparing groundwater assessment plans to be presented to the state. The plans have been held up until results have been obtained from four new wells requested by the state. Two of the four came in dry and two additional wells will have to be dug. ACTION The Calgon Unit on the DDT ditch has been dis- continued. The valve on the lowermost dam on the ditch has been repaired. The state re- quested that the DDT waste soils landfill be regraded or recontoured and that well RS016 be plugged and pulled. A request was submitted to have this work done but funds have not yet been received to go ahead with the project. Check on actions for water and RCRA to attain compliance. CONTACT: Bill Schroder (205) 876-6122 ------- DATE: June 30, 1984 NAME: USA Fort Rucker Aviation Training Center LOCATION: Fort Rucker, Alabama I.D.: AL 213720776 MISSION: Army aviation training and education facility. AREA: 57,855 acres on base, 2932 off, 3114 leased. POPULATION: 19,040 COMPLIANCE STATUS AIR: In compliance by inspection. WATER: Out of compliance, NPDES is current. The facility was inspected by the State on November 16, 1983 and violations of the permit were noted in a letter dated November 23, 1983. Corrections are being made and the facility is expected to be in compliance by September 1, 1984. RCRA: Part A submitted. Inspection made by State on June 30, 1983. Was out of compliance administra- tively. CERCLA: Has completed Phase I. Phase II is essentially complete. Six wells were dug around the sanitary landfill which are continually monitored. No special problems with contaminants to date. TOXICS: Solvents, inorganics, heavy metals, damaged ordinance, paint stripping, acids. PROBLEM AREAS WATER: There is a continuing problem with the sewage treatment plant meeting the fecal coliform, BOD, oil and grease limits. The chlorinators being used were of the old type which do not inject in proportion to the flow. An engineering survey was made and a flow proportional chlorinator was obtained. Other problems were identified which need improvement. The facility was inspected by the State on November 16, 1983, and deficiencies were noted in sampling and analysis procedures, equipment calibration, maintenance and record keeping; washracks were discharged to storm ------- Page 2. USA Fort Rucker Aviation Training Center sewers; also, the facility failed to comply with certain items of permit # AL 0002178 dealing with the installation of pollution control equipment and evaluating discharges to groundwaters; there was hydraulic overload of washracks from rainfall, diversion valves needed inspection repair and con- trol, and the facility failed to advise the State and EPA as to the status of completion of the com- pliance schedule items in Part 1 (B) of the NPDES permit. All items, including some not covered herein should be handled in accordance with pro- cedures outlined in the letter of November 23, 1983. Estimated compliance date is September 1, 1984. RCRA: The facility was cited for administrative problems. The problems related to the facility management not following RCRA regulations. Presently, this condition is being corrected. All toxics (PCB's) or other hazardous wastes presently in storage will be shipped to Emelle, Alabama or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the regulations by April 1, 1984. ACTION Track Phase II of IRP, check out RCRA management team for actions under ISS compliance. Make necessary improvements in the wastewater treatment system to assure compliance with NPDES permit, including infiltration problems.

STATUS NOTE: Winner of DOD Environmental Award for 1982. AIR: in compliance by inspection. WATER: In compliance. Treatment plant is operated by the City of Anniston but owned by the Army. Permit is issued to the City of Anniston. RCRA: State has not done an inspection. Facility has submitted Part A. CERCLA: Notified and ccpmpleted Phase I of IRP, phase 11 scheduled for '85. TOXICS: Generates toxics - PCB's, TCE, other stored toxics - solvents, paints, paint thinner, dry cleaning fluid. EROBLSM AREAS No immediate problem areas. Phase ii should be started as soon as possible. There are 12 sites in which chemical warfare gases have been buried in the past. This may not be considered an immediate problem because such chemicals would have dissipated over a period of time. Fort McClellan will be the training center for Chemical warfare School and a facility is under construction for a specially designed training facility. A Part B was submitted, but wastes presently generated by the school have been determined not to ------- Page 2 USA Fort McClellan be hazardous and will probably not require a Part B permit at this time. A rejevalua- tion will be done when the facility is on line. The disposal system was designed to meet RCRA requirements. ACTION Phase II of the IRP should be started earlier, check on PCB management storage and disposal, follow the development of chemical agent training facility. CONTACT: Ray Clark - (205) 238-3019 ------- DATE: June 30, 1984 FACILITY: Anniston Army Depot LOCATION: Anniston, Alabama I.D.: AL 213820027 MISSION: Major industrial rework facility for armored vehicles (tanks) and small arms and is a general supply and maintenance depot for various commodities including chemical warfare agents. SI2E: 15,200 acres POPULATION: 4900 civilian employees and 35 military personnel. WASTEWATER: COMPLIANCE STATUS AIR: In compliance by source test. However, present controls are expected to fail and ANAD is under a court order to consider semiannual air emission tests for partic- ulates on 2 boilers. A construction project is underway to modify stack emissions by installing a bag pollution control system. Out of compliance; NPDES permit expired June 10, 1982, and has not been reissued by the state. Meetings were held with the State in March and April of 1984, to fix monitoring points, to determine new permit parameters, and decide on a plan of action . The State is in the process of developing a new permit. Interim Status - Out of compliance due to administrative requirements. Interim inspection - May 20, 1983. Part A is on file. Part B has not yet been requested. CERCLA* Notified - Phase I and II have been com- pleted. Phase IV is underway. Ground- water investigations are essentially complete and a report is due in March 1984. RCRAj TOXICS: Chemical warfare agents stored. ------- Page 2 Anniston Army Depot PROBLEM AREAS AIR: ANAD is under a court order to consider semi- annual air emissions test for particulates on 2 of 5 boilers in Bldg. 401. Although the system is presently in compliance, the present controls are expected to fail. New technology will be used (Hopper evacuation) to control future emissions. Construction was started in August of 1983 and should be completed in FY '84. WASTEWATER: Construction of a $7.0 million domestic and industrial WWTP started in April 1980 and is basically complete. However, the effluent produced does not meet permit parameters for Cd, Cr, and TSS. The designer Roy F. Wesson, Inc., was retained to conduct a 60 day plant and personnel evaluation during August 1983. FFCA called for compliance by February 1982. This was extended to July 1983 by the State. ANAD has requested an extension to January 1984 with a committment to a plan of action for future construction. Founda- tion dewatering at the Metal Finishing Facility (400,000 gpd max) requires treat- ment for chrome and TCE. A new permit is needed. The NPDES Permit expired on June 30, 1982. A draft proposed permit was formulated in June 1982 but has not been issued by the State. A meeting was held at the AAD with the State on February 14, 1984. The State insisted on inplant monitoring and compliance with permit requirements at the industrial plant effluent outlet rather than after the combined sanitary and industrial outfall. Permit requirements were exceeded for TSS in July, August, and October of 1983, for chrome in October, November and December of 1983 and for cadmium in October, November, and December of 1983 and for Cd, Ni, and Tss in January of 1984. ------- Page 3 Anniston Army Depot A new meeting was held with the State on April 18, 1984, to establish monitoring requirements, permit parameters and a plan of action. No definite decision was reached with the State. Facility personnel claim they cannot meet the draft permit requirements presented by the State because the plant was designed to meet less stringent permit parameters previously agree to by the State and EPA. The facility is planning improvements including additional circulation and aeration, but do not believe these improvements will enable the system to meet the draft requirements proposed by the State. Additional construction will probably be needed. CERCLA: Investigation of 4 disposal sites, industrial sludge pit (Z-l), sanitary landfill (Z-2), inactive explosives leaching beds (Z-3, and abrasive dust landfill (Z-6), revealed local groundwater contaminates existed at sites (Z—1) and (Z—3), Site (Z—1) contained various forms of halogenated hydrocarbons, solvents, metal hydroxide sludges and lubricants. Methylene chloride and trichloroethylene were in high concentrations. Site (Z-3) leaching beds contained explosive washout wastewater compounds such as TNT, RDX and HMX; and these were found locally in medium concentrations. A groundwater assessment study recommended excavation of 37,000 cubic yards of contaminated material from the (Z-l) site. The Army elected to truck this material to the Alabama Chemical Waste Management site. This was completed in February 1983 and only requires final certification from the state. The ground- water studies identified other possible problems in the industrial area in addition to those at the metal finishing facility. There is a possible offsite contamination which is under investigation. Site vists will be necessary twice a year to keep informed on actions taken by ANAD. ------- Page 4 Anniston Army Depot ACTION Water pollution and air pollution problems need resolution. Also, water monitoring points and permit parameters need resolution; air inspection will be needed when the hopper evacuation project has been completed; NPDES compliance inspection when the system is fully operational. Keep informed about CERCLA project development. Check on PCB storage and disposal plans by DLA. Track the development of the RCRA Part B permit and compliance with permit provisions. CONTACT: R. M.

The State inspected the facility in March 1983, and found the facility in compliance with the Interim Status Standards requirements. CERCLA: Notified; not in a phased program. Monitoring test wells have been installed around the industrial waste lagoon which is the only site of concern. To date monitoring has been negative. TOXICS: Solvents, de-greasers, heavy metals, cyanide. PROBLEM AREAS The State needs to issue new NPDES permit for the new industrial treatment plant and polishing lagoon. The old industrial lagoon is now used for polishing. A flow-through Bioassay was requested of EPA by the state. This Bioassay was conducted in October 1983 along with a performance evaluation inspection. The results will be used to write the new NPDES permit. ACTlOfo Follow-up on 1980 PCB study.

WATER: Out of compliance because of low pH in runoff from impoundments during heavy rainfall events, but insufficient data is presently available to define the facility as being significantly out of compliance in accordance with definition of "significant noncompliance" referred to in Section 123.45(a) of the Revised NPDES Regulations. TVA discontinued the operation of the facility on October 1, 1982. Present plans indicate the facility may be transferred under a lease agreement to another firm and operated under a new permit with the same parameters. RCRA: Part A was submitted but withdrawn. CERCLA: No sites identified. TOXICS: Sulfur, iron and manganese in wash water and runoff water. PROBLEM AREAS If the facility is again placed in use, a new wastewater treatment facility would be required to meet the NPDES permit requirements. TVA has no plans for building such a system; this would be the responsibility of the new operator. According to the TVA Environmental Quality Section, runoff from the existing 228 acre tract would be taken care of by a reclamation plan. If the tract is not leased it will be TVA1s responsibility to reclaim the area. ACTION NEEDED Follow-up on lease agreement.

The facility has been inspected by the State. In compliance. The facility gets its raw water from Wilson Lake with the intake located in Fleet Hollow. Although PCB's have been discovered at the adjacent Muscle Shoals Wilson Power Service Center former disposal site, this material has not been detected in the water supply in dangerous amounts. In compliance. The main wastewater treatment system consists of an extended aeration pack- age plant. Also, there are several point source discharges which are permitted. A study is underway to determine whether coal pile run- off is between pH 6 and 9. If the effluent exceeds these limits, corrective measures will be taken to bring the pH into the proper range. Part A has been filed. Part B has not yet been called. The facility is in compliance with interim status regulations. The facility has a hazardous waste temporary storage facility. Notification has been filed. The facility is in Phase I of the program. Acids and other toxics are handled at the facility, but no special problems have been identified. ------- Page 2 TVA NFDC Muscle Shoals PROBLEM AREAS There is a possibility of coal pile runoff not meeting the pH range from 6 to 9. ACTION Follow up on coal pile runoff. Contact: Mike Hines - (205) 386-2971 ------- DATE: June 30, 1984 NAME: TVA Muscle Shoals Wilson Power Service Center LOCATION: Muscle Shoals, Alabama I.D.: AL 640006746 MISSION: Build and repair support equipment, transformers, motors, etc. Handling and storage of electrical equipment. AREA: 80 Acres POPULATION: 300 COMPLIANCE STATUS AIR: In compliance by inspection with regulation. WATER: In compliance. The Muscle Shoals Wilson Power Service Center receives its water from the TVA National Fertilizer Development Center which obtains its water from an intake on Fleet Hollow, an embayment on Wilson Lake. It was feared that PCB's discovered in the landfill disposal site behind the Wilson Power Service Center would contaminate both the City of Muscle Shoals and TVA water supplies which both draw water from Fleet Hollow. A program consisting of encapsulating the disposal site with clay and protecting it from erosion has been successful and PCB's in dangerous amounts have not been detected in the water supplies to date. WASTEWATER: The system does not meet accepted standards with regard to oil discharges at a point source presently not permitted. A system is being planned to collect and/or treat the discharge to meet the required standards. Money has been budgeted for FY'84. The secondary wastewater system consists of a septic tank and a buried sand filter. RCRA: The facility is in compliance with interim status regulations. Part A has been submitted. Part B has not yet been called. In 1981, PCB's were discovered in hazardous amounts in a former landfill disposal site behind the Muscle Shoals Power Service Center. A meeting was held ------- Page 2 TVA Muscle Shoals Wilson Power Service Center by the State, TVA and EPA representatives on September 3, 1982, and a plan of action was developed to control and contain the PCB's. Areas where capacitors and containers were known to be buried were excavated and the materials were removed and disposed of in accordance with RCRA regulations. PCB's were contained in the main disposal site (X-25 yard) by installing a culvert in the main drainageway, regrading the area, and encapsulating it with clay and then fertilizing and seeding the area to prevent erosion. The area has been continually monitored and no PCB's in dangerous amounts have been found leaving the area or in the water supply. CERCLA: Notification was filed. The system is in Phase II of the CERCLA program. "Several sites were identified and several capacitors and containers have been excavated and disposed of. The status of groundwater contamination will be made known when the Phase II report is made, but it is expected to be negative because of the heavy clay layers protecting groundwater supplies. TOXICS: PCB's handled and disposed of as indicated. PROBLEM AREAS Possible deterioration of PCB containers with potential for future contamination of surface or groundwater supplies. ACTION The present precautionary measures should be adequate. Contact: Mike Hines - (205) 386-2971 ------- DATE: June 30, 1984 NAME: Jacksonville Naval Air Station LOCATION: Jacksonville, Florida I.D.: FL170024412 MISSION: The Jacksonville NAS is a major operating base for patrol aircraft and has a large industrial complex with a naval air rework facility for the repair and overhaul of air frames and engines of naval aircraft. A large technical training center is also located at the base. AREA: 3346 acres POPULATION: 16,495 COMPLIANCE STATUS AIR: In compliance by inspection with regulation. WATER: RCRA: CERCLA: Out of compliance. The base has facilities foi treating both domestic and industrial wastes and a combined treating facility. The treatment system is not consistently meeting State and NPDES requirements for cyanide heavy metals, TSS, oil and grease. Plans are presently underway to correct pretreatment and capacity requirements so that State and NPDES permit requirements can be met. It is estimated that construction will be complete and the system will be in compliance by January 1986. The base does not presently meet established standards. The base is under interim status and they have filed a temporary operating permit with the State of Florida. The facility has been inspected by the State and some violations were noted. Part A is on file but this has been superseded by the Florida permit. A covered storage area is planned for FY'86 for handling solvents, fuel sludge, degreasers, cleaners, used paints, thinners and other hazardous materials to assure compliance with RCRA storage criteria. Notification has been filed. Initial assess- ment studies (Phase I) have been completed. Sampling and monitoring has begun on 11 sites identified by the IAS study team as needing ------- Page 2 Jacksonville Naval Air Station further investigation. The results of the confirmation study will be used to evaluate the necessity of conducting mitigative actions or cleanup operations. Two cleanup actions have been completed by a contract totaling $300,000. One involved construc- tion of shallow trenches to intercept and treat leacheate from an abandoned solvent and petroleum wastepit. The other involved removal and disposal of approximately 300 drums of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) con- taminated soil from an area formerly used to store transformers. A permit and certif- ication is needed from the state to back- pump test wells. The Navy has been accused of depositing hazardous wastes in the Hipps Road landfill. To date the Navy has no re- cord of using this site. Silvex - The Navy used this contractor to dispose of their paint waste and solvent by beneficiation burning. Silvex is now re- quired to clean up the site and the State may sue the Navy as a party in the cleanup. TOXICS: The base handles and stores PCB's and other toxic wastes prior to disposal. PROBLEM AREAS WATER: improvements are needed at the facility for pretreating cyanide heavy metals, oil and grease. The pretreatment of heavy metals is inadequate which causes overloading of the main treatment system. A new electro-plating facility is presently being constructed which should improve heavy metal removal. Estimated Completion date for this facility is April 1985. Also, oil and grease from the naval rework industrial area and the helicopter parking apron enters the storm drains and violates water quality standards in the St. Johns River. Design of an oil separator unit was started in April 1984. Construction of this unit is expected to start in May 1985 and be completed in December of 1985. ------- Page 3 Jacksonville Naval Air Station CERCLA: A superfund site has been identified and the resulting conditions are being corrected. The necessary corrective action involved the removal of 300 drums of PCB contaminated soil from a transformer storage area and the construction of trenches to intercept and treat leacheate from an abandoned solvent and petroleum waste pit. Eleven sites are presently being studied to deter- mine the extent of mitigative or cleanup actions required. ACTION NEEDED Heavy metal removals at the industrial waste- water pretreatment system must be improved, also, TSS at the main plant together with flow recording and sampling devices. Additional funding must be obtained and a project implemented to correct the conditions indicated. The facility has been proposed for NPL hazardous ranking under CERCLA.

The base contains administrative offices, housing units, maintenance shops, and the essential services for carrying out the mission. AREA: 13,174 acres POPULATION: 22,974 COMPLIANCE STATUS AIR: In compliance by certification with regulation. WATER: Out of compliance. The plant is not complying with Section 17-6.01(1) FAC requiring 90% or better removal of suspended solids. Also, heavy metal removals are not consistently within State and/or NPDES requirements (pri- marily Cr, Cd, and Cu). It is planned to correct this condition by applying up to 1.5 mgd of treated wastes to the golf course by spray irrigation. Also, the addition of the new monitoring system, a flow meter for industrial wastes, new sludge handling facil- ities, and adjustment of the weirs on the primary settling tanks should improve effi- ciency. It is planned that the spray irriga- tion system will be completed during the 3rd quarter of FY'84. RCRA: The PNAS generates, transports, treats, stores, and disposes of hazardous wastes. The facility has been inspected by the State of Florida. Part A is on file. The base is on an interim status with the State of Florida. A temporary operating permit has been filed with the State A 2,400 s.f. RCRA covered storage area is planned for FY'84 and an 800 s.f. storage area is planned for FY'85 to handle hazardous wastes. Materials handled include paint, thinners, cleaners, pesticides, ------- Page 2 Pensacola Naval Air Station & Public Works Center CERCLA: Notification has been filed. The initial assessment study, Phase I has been accom- plished. A confirmation study is recommended for seven potentially contaminated sites iden- tified during the IAS. The confirmation studies started during the first quarter of FY'84. Sites identified are: Site 1 - Sanitary Landfill; Site 2 - North Chevalier Field Disposal Site; Site 17 - Transformer Storage Yard; Site 21 Sludge Disposal at Fuel Tank area; Site 22 Refueler Repair Ship Fuel Disposal Site; Site 27 - Radium Dial Shop Sanitary Sewer; and, Site 29 - Soil South of Building 3460. Additional sites were added after consultation with the state. A ground- water monitoring program is in effect. TOXICS: PCB's are stored prior to disposal. Any toxics found in the Confirmation Studies will be handled in accordance with RCRA and TSCA Regulations. PROBLEM AREAS WATER: The water treatment system is not consistently meeting State and NPDES heavy metal and suspended solids removal requirements. Also, the main wastewater treatment system is not meeting the Florida requirement of 90 percent or better removal of SS. It is planned to correct this deficiency in the system by applying up to 1.5 mgd of treated wastes on the golf course by spray irrigation. This will reduce the total poundage of SS in the effluent. Violations were noted on occasion for Cr, Cu, and Cd. The spray irrigation system should improve their removal. Also, adjustment of the weirs on the primary clari- fier should improve efficiency. Problems have been experienced in getting the contractor to properly finish the contract. Completion is scheduled for 3rd quarter of FY'84. CERCLA: The Navy has been identified as a contributor to materials deposited in a private landfill at the Pioneer sand Company Landfill. Studies are presently pending to determine whether the wastes have contaminated the surrounding soils and groundwater. ------- Page 3 Pensacola Naval Air Station & Public Works Center ACTION Participate in the Pioneer Sands mitigation.

It is the home of Commander, Fleet Air Detachment Cecil Field; Commander, Light Attack Wing One; one Carrier Air Wing; twelve attack squadrons; and a composite squadron detachment which deploy to Sixth Fleet Carriers. The station provides two training squadrons and a flight physiological training center. The aircraft intermediate maintenance department provides complete overhaul facilities for jet engines. The base contains a larger jet fuel and oil tank storage area. AREA! 19,564 acres POPULATION: 9,359 COMPLIANCE' StATDS AIR: In compliance by inspection with regulation. WATER: In compliance. The expanded wastewater treat- ment system is scheduled for completion in FY'84. Some problems with oil in primary clarifiers and flow exceeding design capacity. No recent record of noncompliance is in our files. An August 25, 1982 inspection of the facility indicated that some improvement could be made in checking flow recorded read- ings and in taking samples. An oil/water separator is to be installed to intercept oil and grease from aircraft washrack and hanger 860 (FY184). Presently connected to sanitary sewer system, this project will reduce oil and grease received by the primary clarifiers at the waste treatment facility. The effluent outfall of the treatment system may have to be modified because the state will not allow any increase in the BOD discharged to Yellow Creek. RCRA: Part A is on file. The site has been inspectec by the state. A temporary operating permit ------- Page 2 U.S. Naval Air Station, Cecil Field was filed with the state. The permit has been challenged; a hearing is pending. A construc- tion permit has been received from the state to construct a new storage building in FY'84 to store waste products from cleaning operations in compliance with 40 CFR Part 761/ Annex III, Paragraph 761.42. Construction has started and the facility should be ready by 1st quarter of FY'85. CERCLA: Filed notification. The initial assessment (Phase I) has been completed; Phase II was scheduled to start March 1984. TOXICS: PCB's are handled and stored prior to disposal. PROBLEM AREAS RCRA: When the temporary RCRA operating permit was advertised it was challenged by a citizens group which petitioned for a hearing. Contact with the state indicated that the problem could be worked out. WASTEWATER: The discharge point for the new wastewater treatment system may need modification. The state will not allow any increase in BOD into Yellow Creek, the intended discharge point for treated effluent from the new plant. Part of the effluent may have to be spray irrigated or pumped to a different waterway for discharge. ACTION Completion of wastewater treatment systems scheduled for FY'84.

CONTACT: Ed Dalducci - (904) 778-5620 ------- DATE: June 30, 1984 NAME: U.S. Naval Training Center LOCATION: Orlando, Florida I.D.: FL170024736 MISSION: The base is used as a Naval Recruit Training Center. The base consists of the Navy Annex (McCoy), a training center, a warehouse annex and the Herndon Annex at the airport. AREA: 2,060 acres POPULATION: 15,213 COMPLIANCE' StAtOS AIR: In compliance by certification with regulation. WATER: In compliance. The present system (McCoy) gets good BOD and SS removals and meets present NPDES permit and state requirements, but would not be able to meet future requirements for Boggy Creek discharges upon expiration of the present permit. The facility is presently ne- gotiating with the city of Orlando with regard to a contract for the disposal of Navy waste- water. The current NPDES permit, which calls for discharge by land application, or other method of effluent disposal that will cease discharge to surface water by February 1, 1985, has been extended by FDER from February 1 of 1985 to February 1 of 1986 to give the Navy time to complete negotiations and complete a tie into the Orlando system. A revision needs to be made to the NPDES permit to conform to the change made by the FDER. The Naval Training Center, Herndon Annex and Warehouse Area C are presently tied into the Regional System. RCRA: Small quantity generator. CERCLA: The installation is not currently part of the formal installation restoration program, but is under evaluation for possible later inclusion. TOXICS: A small quantity of PCB's are handled. PCB equipment is in service. A new RCRA handling and storage facility has been built. ------- Page 2 U.S. Naval Training Center PROBLEM AREAS The Navy is presently negotiating with the City of Orlando with regard to a contract for the disposal of Navy wastewater.

COMPLIANCE STATUS AIR: In compliance by certification with regulation. However, a complaint was received from an adjacent land owner during the summer of 1983 regarding excessive smoke from the Trumbo Point facility at Fleming Key. The smoke was apparently caused by the burning of obsolete buildings for which the facility had a Florida permit. The excessive smoke was caused by the burning of wood containing creosote which was a violation of the permit. WATER: Out of compliance. The Poincianna Housing Area, Truman Annex, the Trumbo Point facility and the Regional Medical Facility have no waste- water treatment facilities. Sewers from these facilities tie directly into the City of Key West mains and thence to an ocean outfall with- out treatment. Potable water is supplied by ------- Page 2 Naval Air Station and Annex the "Navy" aqueduct which is now controlled by the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority. Water is obtained from the Biscayne aquifer with wells at Florida City. The base has the following sanitary, facilities: Wastewater Treatment: Naval Air Station, Boca Chica This station has its own contact stabiliza- tion wastewater treatment facility. The system is generally in compliance but on a few occasions it has not met NPDES and state requirements with regard to suspended solids removal and fecal coli count. The design flow is sometimes exceeded due infiltration. The fecal coli violations may be due to the use of a fixed flow chlorinator. The chlorination system should be revised so that it is propor- tional to flow. This plant should also be equipped with an alarm system for power failure. A letter indicates that the neces- sary revisions will be completed in FY'84. It is probable that the Boca Chica sewer lines should be protected from infiltration by having them sliplined the same as is presently being done at the Sigsbee Park Housing Area, although infiltration problems are not as severe at this facility. Inspection by the state on August 19, 1983 found the wastewater treatment plant out of compliance with regard to TSS. It was also noted that there was no alarm system for power or equipment failures, no continuous flow measurement was being maintained and there was a question as to whether the plant would be under a state certified operator. Siasbee Park Housing Area This facility has its own contact stabiliza- tion wastewater treatment facility. The system is generally in compliance but on a ------- Page 3 Naval Air Station and Annex few occasions it has not met NPDES and state requirements with regard to suspended solids removal and fecal coli count. Design flow is sometimes exceeded due to infiltration prob- lems. The fecal coli violations may be due to the use of a fixed flow chlorinator. The chlorination system should be revised so that it is proportional to flow. This plant should also be equipped with an alarm system for power failure. A proportional flow chlorinator and an alarm system are planned for FY'84. The Sigsbee Park Housing Area sewers are pres- ently being sliplined to correct the infiltra- tion problem. A letter was received from the state on August 29, 1983 following an inspection on August 19, 1983. The system was out of compliance with regard to BOD and TSS and other deficiencies were noted as follows: There was no alarm system for power or equipment failure, no continuous flow measure- ment, plant is hydraulically overloaded and there was a question as to whether the plant operation will be under a state certified operator. A compliance schedule was requested within 30 days by the state. Truman Annex This facility has a sewage collection system which ties into the city system and thense to an ocean outfall without treatment. The system is in violation of state and federal standards. Trumbo Point This facility has a sewage collection system which ties into the city system and thence to an ocean outfall without treatment. The system is in violation of state and federal standards. Demolition Key The area has no sanitary wastewater treatment system or sewers. ------- Page 4 Naval Air Station and Annex Poincianna Housing Area This facility has a sewage collection system which ties into the city system and thence to an ocean outfall without treatment. The system is in violation of state and federal standards. Naval Medical Clinic This facility has a sewage collection system which ties into the city system and thence to an ocean outfall without treatment. The system is in violation of state and federal standards. Proposed Systems A three million dollar project was budgeted by the Navy for FY'86 to pay for the Navy portion of a proposed collection and waste- water treatment system to take care of wastewater at Key West. Because of the high cost per capita, the system was never approved by local authorities. This system would collect and treat wastewater from the City of Key West, Truman Annex, Trumbo Point, the Poincianna Housing Area and the Naval Medical Clinic which are presently not treated. However, the completionof the system in the near future seems questionable because of economic problems. A ship to shore collec- tion system was' proposed at the Trumbo Point area which would tie into the city system. However, in a letter dated September 7, 1983, the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation refused to approve the tie into the city system on the grounds that it would violate the provisions of 17-4 of the Florida administrative code. The City of Key West has no wastewater treatment system and pres- ently discharges direct to an ocean outfall without treatment. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command at Charleston, S.C. requests that EPA resolve this issue. The matter is currently under legal review by the State of Florida and EPA. A similar ship to shore sewer to the city system is also being considered for Truman Annex. ------- Page 5 Naval Air Station and Annex RCRA: Part A is on file. The site has been inspected by the state and does not presently meet RCRA requirements. Boca Chica The facility is presently deficient with regard to storage space for hazardous materials. A project has been planned to provide 3500 sf of covered storage space for hazardous wastes It is expected to be completed by FY 1985. The project is presently in the design stage (3-12-84) and a permit is being prepared. A public hearing was held on 11-16-83 and no serious objections were received. Pending issuance of the permit, application for a construction permit will be filed in June 1984, bids will be obtained and construction will proceed. Items to be handled at this facility include used solvents, used paints, thinners, and other DOD chemicals. The project is required to assure compliance with RCRA storage cirteria 49 CFR 264/265. Poincianna Housing Area This site has no known hazardous waste problems or facilities. Truman Annex The site has no known hazardous waste problems or facilities. Trumbo Point The facility has a hazardous waste tank. The tank is no longer used and a closure plan has been filed. Naval Medical Clinic The site has no hazardous waste facilities. Some potentially hazardous waste materials are handled but not in large enough quantities to qualify as hazardous waste. Demolition Key This is a munitions demolition area which contains hazardous wastes. A permit has been filed. ------- Page 6 Naval Air Station and Annex CERCLA: The CERCLA program for the Naval Air Station complex at Key West (Installation Assessment) Phase I will start in May '84. A comprehen- sive survey will be conducted if Phase I investigation indicates it is necessary. PROBLEM AREAS AIR: WASTEWATER: RCRA: CERCLA: ACTION NEEDED The issue as to whether the Navy should build its own wastewater treatment facilities or wait for the city to plan and help finance a regional system should be resolved. Operation of the Boca Chica and Sigsbee Park Housing systems need to be improved and the Truman Annex, Trumbo Plant, Naval Medical Clinic and Poincianna Housing Area waste need to be treated to meet state and federal standards. Proper storage facilities should be provided as soon as possible. Action needed depends upon results of Phase I Environmental Coordinator - FTS/350-6888 There are no known problems at present. The facilities at Truman Annex, Trumbo Point, Poincianna Housing Area and the Naval Medical Clinic do not meet state and federal stand- ards with regard to wastewater discharges. The operation of the Boca Chica and the Sigsbee Housing Area wastewater treatment systems need to be improved particularly with regard to fecal coli count and suspended solids removal. Infiltration problems need to be corrected. Whether or not the city will build a regional system or the navy will build its own systems needs to be resolved. The facilities do not presently meet RCRA requirements. No special problem areas have been identified.

WATER: In compliance but some problems with oil and grease. Sewage is treated by an extended aeration type activated sludge plant with a capacity of 1.9 mgd. Separate treatment is provided for bilge. Some oil violations were noted in the effluent from the bilge wastewater treatment plant, also, the main plant does not meet TSS, BOD, oil, pH and FC removals on a consistent basis. The facility has a few minor deficiencies in one or more areas of flow monitoring, sampling, analyses or data calcu- lating and reporting procedures. Examples include infrequent calibration of flow monitor- ing equipment, improper refrigeration of samples, and keeping thorough records. The self monitor- ing program is good and the problems have no major impact on data reliability. The flow monitoring system for the back-up chlorine contact chamber at the time of inspection by EPA (July 15, 1983) had been out of operation since March 1982. The system is used only when maintenance is being performed on the primary unit or when an emergency situation occurs. The outdated flow monitoring system should be upgraded at the earliest possible date if the system is to be utilized. This will insure compliance with flow monitoring requirements given in the NPDES permit when the back-up chlorine chamber is in use. ------- Page 2 Mayport Naval Base RCRA: The site has been inspected by the State. Some minor violations were noted. Part A is on file, Part B has been issued.

AREA: 3,300 acres POPULATION: 9,288 C6MEL1ANCE'STATUS AIR: In compliance by inspection with regulation. WATER: Out of compliance. The Homestead Air Force Base completed the tie-in of the Base sanitary sewer system to the regional wastewater treatment faci- lity of the Miami Dade Water and Sewer Authority on April 11, 1983. There will be no further discharge from the permitted facility under NPDES Permit FL0025089. Wastewater from the aircraft washrack is not adequately treated prior to discharge to the sanitary sewer system. Existing oil/water separator allows high levels of oil to enter the collection system. A project has been planned to alter the washracks under the FY*85 program which will meet Florida and Dade County requirements. Readiness require- ments for emergency response for fire trucks make it necessary to wash this equipment within immediate vicinity of the fire station. A project is planned to provide the necessary facilities to prevent pollutants from entering groundwater and surface water in violation of Florida statutes. The project is now under contract and is planned to be completed in June 1984. Fire Training Area - The present burn pit lining may allow seepage of petroleum products into groundwater. The training area is being redesigned and relocated. The new facility will confirm to State Regulations and Dade County code when completed. It is scheduled to be relocated during FY'85. ------- Page 2 Homestead Air Force Base Housing Area - Seasonal flooding causes improper sewer operation and unsanitary conditions in the Base housing area.

Contact: Bill Nealon - (404) 429-4803 ------- DATE: June 30, 1984 NAME: Robins Air Force Base LOCATION: Houston County, Georgia I.D.: GA571724330 MISSION: Robins AFB is an Air Force Logistics Command Material Area Headquarters whose prime mission is to supply parts and repair facilities for the major aircraft in the Air Force inventory. In addition, Robins AFB acts in a "systems management" capacity for about 13 aircraft, 8 missle systems and about 150 federal stock classes of materials. AREA; 6,651 acres POPULATION: 22,417 COMPLIANCE' StAtOfe AIR: In compliance by certification with regulation. WATER: The wastewater treatment system is now (as of 12/30/83) in compliance. The treatment plant met all NPDES parameters during January 1984 but was out of compliance with regard to one PH reading (5.5) and one ammonia reading (7.1 mg/1) for February of 1984. A flow recorder should be installed at outfall 008 to insure compliance with permit requirements. A flow monitoring system should be installed at the treatment plant effluent (outfall 009) to ensure that all flows are measured accurately and to comply with permit requirements. This equipment is to be included in the FY 86 pro- gram. Sample collecting, testing, and report- ing, should be improved as recommended in the EPA inspection Report of November 8-10, 1982. Discharge Monitoring Reports of the main treat- ment plant (May through July) showed violations of ammonia nitrogen parameter. Ammonia strip- ping facilities were completed in September of 1983, but there were problems with the founda- tions and the plant failed to meet permit requirements because of part of the system being out of operation. The rebuilding of the trickling filters, foundation corrections, rebuilding of the carbon regenerator, correction of chlorine weighing and miscellaneous equipment repairs improved the efficiency of the plant. ------- Page 2 Robins Air Force Base All of these items have been completed with the exception of the carbon regenerator which still needs repair. RCRA: The facility was inspected by the state in April 1983. The facility generates, treats, trnsports, stores and disposes of hazardous wastes. Part A is on file. On May 4, 1983, the base was notifi- ed of being in violation of ISS regulations for the handling, transporting and storage of hazardous materials. This violation was satis- factorily resolved on June 7, 1983. The hazard- ous waste storage facilities at the base are being evaluated with a DOD wide survey of all installations and their respective disposal requirements. As a result, this facility will be reinstated as a DOD requirement, after survey evaluation. A new hazardous waste storage area, 7500 sq ft covered storage and 850 sq ft open storage area are budgeted for FY 1986. This is awaiting DPDS disposal actions. A revised Part A was submitted on August 1, 1983. CERCLA: Notification filed, Phase I completed and some pollution problems identified. Phase II, sam- pling and analyses of waste disposal sites to verify the potential for groundwater contamina- tion and migration is still in process. Phase II B is scheduled for completion in June of 1984. Phase IV of IRP, corrective action, has been budgeted for FY 86. Sites with high potential for contamination migration are the sludge lagoon, Landfill No. 4 and 1979 DDT spill. The facility has been proposed for NPL hazardous ranking. TOXICS: Some PCB's and toxic materials handled, special problems. No PROBLEM' AREAS Water - Some improvement is needed in the opera- tion of the wastewater treatment system to meet NPDES and State requirements on a continuous basis. The improvements underway should solve the problem. ------- Page 3 Robins Air Force Base RCRA: The hazardous waste storage facilities at the base are planned for conversion by DLA. A new hazardous waste storage facility is budgeted for FY185. CERCLA: Action necessary depends on results of Phase II studies and the NPL ranking.

WATER: No notice of violation from state. Assumed to be in compliance. The wastewater treat- ment system consists of a small package plant designed to handle 0.175 m.g.d. of sanitary sewage. No operation reports have been re- ceived, so we have no assurance that the waste treatment plant is in or out of compliance. Facilities Engineer has agreed to forward reports to EPA. RCRA: The installation is classified as a small generator. However, small quantities of some hazardous materials show up in the sewage sludge as follows: silver 203 ug/1, barium 1091 ug/1, chromium 82 ug/1, copper 240 ug/1, lead 275 ug/1, aluminum 563 ug/1, other elements were in trace amounts or were non- hazardous.

State inspected November 1982, and the facility was in compliance. Part B has been submitted and a hazardous waste storage building is presently being constructed and is scheduled for completion during FY84. CERCLA: Notification; Phase I, Installation Restora- tion Program completed - The Phase I report recommended no further investigation. TOXICS: Pesticide/herbicide storage and management facility is needed because present methods and storage facilities are inadequate. PROBLEM AREAS Review of the DMR's show the facility in compliance, but they are having problems maintaining NPDES permit limits. Problems are caused by the break down of the RBC units which were installed to take care of BOD and Ammonia. As of September 1983 over half of these units are down and the facility has been maintaining contiuned operations through alternate processes. In accordance with the Federal Facilities Agreements executed in December 1980, it was planned to have all these units back in operation by July 1983. Because of problems between the ------- Page 2 USA Fort Knox C.O.E. and the manufacturer, repairs to the RBC units has been delayed. It is planned for repairs to start in October 1983 and construction should be completed by July 1984. The NPDES permit called for central wash racks to be completed by July 1983. Because of difficulties with the contractor, the date of completion will be 4th quarter of FY184. There are no RCRA problems. The facility is planning to construct a new hazardous waste storage facility in 1984 and will require a Part B permit. AtT16ft Follow the correciton of the RBC units, and the pesticide storage management problem (residue management); make sure a Part B permit is acquired prior to construction of RCRA storage facility.

J>fc06L£M' AREAS The state is presently discussing volatile air limits to control the spray painting booths. Most of the air sources have been permitted by the state. The state has cited the installation for not having an ISS, RCRA waste analysis plan for the various hazardous waste stored and for not having a completed training program. They They were cited for not having lids on hazardous waste collection drums containing chemicals and for not storing them in areas designated for hazardous waste storage. The facility has acted for construction of a new hazardous facility. ------- Page 2 Naval Ordinance Station The state has also asked that the facility do an analytical analysis of their various process vats in order to determine the con- tents. The facility is presently performing this analysis. The state has also requested that certain substances in the wastewater be registered as hazardous waste. The facility has programmed in the 1985 budget a reverse osmosis system for reclaiming heavy metals from their plating vats. A letter dated February 15, 1984, from the State Division of Waste Management, Enforce- ment Branch, sites the facility for being in violation of the Kentucky waste management laws and regulations and an agreed order ex- ecuted July 21, 1983 to resolve these viola- tions. Major item of violation includes the operation of a large drum container storage area without a proper permit. An extension was granted to the original order for han- dling of the drums to January 2, 1984, because of difficulties with the first contractor. At this time, the second contractor is in breach of contract and the state advises that the continuing delays are unacceptable within the framework of the Kentucky hazardous waste management laws and regulations.

Permit has expired, application is in house. State will issue the new NPDES Permit. RCRA: Part A has been submitted to the state. Part B has not been called. DOE has suggested that their activities may not be covered by RCRA. General Counsel (EPA) has ruled that DOE is covered but the ruling did not say to what extent. A meeting was held and a Memorandum of Understand- ing between EPA and DOE was formulated as of February 22, 1984. The MOU is intended to develop a management strategy for these hazardous wastes which are riot controlled exclusively by DOE. CERCLA: Notified? the Kentucky Army Ammunition Plant, which was the previous owner of this land, managed a landfill in which possible hazardous materials were buried. To date no action has been taken to investigate this site. According to Mr. Baker, water quality in a lake below the site indicates there is no seepage of contaminants from the site. We have no data on actual sampling and testing of the water for chemical constituents. Sampling should be done to assure there is no seepage of contaminants. TOXICS: PCN, solvents. ------- Page 2 Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant PROBLEM AREAS The problem with the BOD and pH is reported to a seasonal violation.

There are problems with the precipitators burning out. They are scheduled to be fixed by March 15, 1984. The compliance order calls for the system to be in compliance by June 30, 1984. Emission No. 5 - Coal Fuel Steam Generating Plant. The first test was marginal so the State ordered additional tests. Additional tests were tried but the tests could not be accomplished because of poor design of test components. The explosive waste incinerator has not yet been completed. Design problems are holding up its completion. A demonstration test has not yet been run for the incinerator. There are no problems at present with emission points 2,3, and 4 which are not yet on line. A meeting is being held (3/2/84) to decide on a course of action. Since the steam plant does not work* the plant is being turned back to the COE for resolution. WATERS A new industrial waste water treatment plant was construced and was being used when the cold spell of December 24, 1983 to January 1, 1984 froze piping and made the plant inoperative. A repair project is presently underway. Wastes are presently being hauled to Port Arthur by tank truck in accordance with RCRA regulations where they are being disposed of by deep well injection. CERCLA: A landfill which was once used by NASA but now belongs to MAAP may contain hazardous material in significant quanities according to a survey report which as just been released in draft form.

WATER: In compliance, however, some problems primarily ai w re9ar<* to BOD, SS, oil and grease. Although the Courthouse Bay Sewage Treatment Plant violated the NPDES permit requirements for percent removal of BOD and SS for January and February of 1984, the system is not sig- nificantly out of compliance. Heavy flows from oil/water separators have caused the plant flow on occasion, to exceed design capacity; this condition did not allow sufficient detention time to remove the required 85% BOD and SS. Construction of the new flow equalization basin ahead of the plant should eliminate shock loading of the plant during peak flows and allow sufficient detention time. The construc- tion contract has been completed and the equal- ization basin is scheduled to start up in the near future. RCRA: Part A is on file. The site has been inspected by the State. Part B has been called and a permit application is being submitted to the state. CERCLA: Notification has been filed. Phase I studies are complete. Phase II studies are underway. Of 76 potential sites, 22 sites have been recommended for further field investigations which are scheduled to start on April 15, 1984.

A storage area for hazardous waste is in the planning stage. Money has been budgeted for a 3200 sq. ft. covered storage area for hazardous materials but is awaiting DPD's disposal actions. Items handled include sol- vents PCB's, degreasers, cleaners, acid* nasticides, paint thinners and other hazardous SLmieals. This project is needed to assure compliance with RCRA storage criteria 40 CFR ------- Page 2 Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point 264/265. Also, the base has a converted SPCC concrete pad with a curb and oil separator for hazardous waste temporary storage. CERCLA: Notification has been filed. An initial assess- ment study has been prepared by Water and Air Research Inc. of Gainesville, Florida. The report identifies 14 potential pollution sites which need further investigation. Site 10, and old dump site, has the most potential for stream pollution of the sites investigated. A Phase II contract has been let for starting work on July 1, 1984 on the 14 sites including well drilling, sampling testing and monitoring. The facility has a closure plan with the state for two surface impoundments used for industrial waste treatment plant sludge disposal. Pits were closed 24 January 1983. The contract for complete closure was awarded November 22, 1983. The sludge pits were excavated and sludge re- moved and the area capped by February 13, 1984. Naval Air rework facility storage area was closed up by April 1, 1983. TOXICS: PCB's, acids and degreasing fluids handled at the facility. PROBLEM AREAS WATER: Improvement is needed in the operation of the wastewater treatment system to meet state and NPDES requirements. The contracts completed on March 11, 1984 were planned to bring the treatment system into compliance but the main deficiency appears to be in the operation of the treatment system. On March 20, 1984, the Cherry Point facilities engineer reported that their wastewater system had become ineffective and they were having trouble in meeting NPDES standards particularily for chrome. They were told to report the incident to the state. On March 22 we received a report from the Naval Investigation Service that they had two em- ployees in custody which were charged with a willful act of discharging chrome wastes into the sewer system.

TOXICS, PCB, pesticides, herbicides, solvents, explo- sives. RCRA: CERCLA: PROBLEM AREAS A meeting was held in January 1984 to resolv® 401 certification problems. The State of Tennessee has held up the renewal of the NPDEs permit because of a disagreement over the limits for total nitro bodies. Action on this has been going on since August 1982. The baa? conflict is 1.0 mg/1 of total nitro bodies versus 0.1 mg/1 the State has requested. The Army intends to appeal this limit. Because of the lack of Information on the toxicity of tnt ------- Page 2 Milan Army Ammunition Plant and RDX, the State set a detectable limit, not a BAT limitr which we think should be 1.0 mg/1. The Army took action in April 1983 by petitioning EPA to establish a final drinking water standard for TNT and RDX. We are waiting for the State to back off the Notice of Decision, August 1983, so they can issue a 401 certification. Because of the lack of progress on this permit, corrective action on the coal pile runoff was unresolved and compliance de- layed. Through the efforts of the State and EPA, the Army is proceeding to build a treatment system to take care of the coal runoff problem based on the draft permit conditions. RCRA: Most of the RCRA problems cited by the State were administrative problems asso- ciated with interim status. However, the State did site them for open burning at the dump sites. The Army is planning to replace these burning sites with inciner- ators that will take care of most of the burning problems. Where a large item must be destroyed, then a special permit will be requested. The earliest funding for such a project would be in 1986.

Tie-in is expected in the early part of 1985. The permit for the main plant discharge will be eliminated but the oil—water separaters will still require a permit. The main wastewater treatment system is an old Imhoff tank which is having considerable prob- lems in meeting present permit limits.

AREA: 330 acres (26,790 acres of Oak Ridge in which lab has activities). POPULATION: 5,700 COMPLIANCE STATUS AIR: In compliance by certification with regulation, WATER: RCRAt Out of compliance. The Oak Ridge National Lab has a main wastewater treatment plant but has several miscellaneous treatment systems and discharges to White Oak Creek and Milton Branch. Fifteen point source discharge have been identified. The current permit for the National Lab has expired. A new permit is in process. The new permit will cover all dis- charges but will combine some discharges for convenience in monitoring. ORNL's main sewage treatment plant fails to meet state and NPDES standards, particularly with regard to BOD and ammonia. A project is being planned for PY85 which will meet the required discharge limitations. However, infiltration in the sewer lines needs to be corrected. A coal yard runoff treatment system was recently completed, however, the system does not have the capability of handling sludge. Because of this inability the system must be shutdown periodical- ly to manually remove sludge. A project is planned for FY84 which will continuously remove the sludge and dewater it prior to disposal. The water in White Oak Creek is known to have radioactive contamination and its source must be determined. Groundwater is also contamin- ated. The facility is out of compliance. The system does not meet established standards. ORNL generates significant quantities of wastes which ------- Page 2 DOE Oak Ridge National Lab are both radioactive and hazardous. These wastes are largely organic in nature; ORNL does not have any means to dispose of these wastes and is presently storing them. A hazardous waste incinerator is planned for FY 85. The proposed facility will render the waste non- hazardous so that the remaining ash can be disposed of strictly as radioactive waste. a material recovery facility is being planned for FY 86 which will act as a single facility for Oak Ridge where recovery operations for hazard- ous waste can be performed. The facility is needed both to minimize the amount of hazardous waste shipped off site for disposal and to allow recovery operations to proceed efficiently. The ORNL did not have a storage area meeting the required standards for handling hazardous wastes. A storage area for drum storage is planned for completion during FY 84. ORNL's current facility for storing hazardous wastes does not provide for the separation of incompatible chemicals by fire barriers. Since the facility has only one ventilation system, vapors from these chemicals can easily mix. A chemical waste storage facility is being planned for FY 84 which will provide physically isolated, separately, ventilated enclosures for six differ- ent classes of chemicals. Part B application was submitted for storage facility in early 1983. Permit process is complete but an issue as to whom it should be issued to is being discussed. This is the owner/operator question. rpurLA* A oreliminary assessment of the ORNL was made cekcla. £PpA on 1/25/83. Six solid waste sites were identified dating back to 1943 when the plant was opened. Groundwater samples were taken by DEM from 100 wells and analyzed for 90 Sr, 137 Cs, 60 Co, 3 H and gross alpha. Full measure- ments included water elevations, pH and conduc- tivity. Details of the sampling are shown in the report and indicate that both the ground- water and White Oak Creek were contaminated with radioactive materials. Further studies are needed to define the problem and to recom- mend a solution. Sites determined to contain ------- Page 3 DOE Oak Ridge National Lab hazardous wastes must be cleaned up in accordance with RCRA regulations. TOXICS: Toxic waste are handled at this facility and a drum storage area is being planned for the temporary storage of these materials. PROBLEM AREAS The wastewater treatment system needs to be upgraded to meet NPDES and state standards and all point source discharges must be in eluded in the new permit. The source of radioactive wastes discharged to White Oak Creek must be determined and eliminated if found hazardous. The system for handlina hazardous waste must be improved as outlined under RCRA. A NOV dated October 26, 1983 was sent to DOE outlining numerous environmental problems in water, hazardous waste and radioactive waste management. ACTION Staff discussion in the NOV. Meet to discuss plan of action to resolve violations. Hold a show cause meeting with DOE and state and develop a MOU on action necessary to attain compliance.

K-25 is now operating under a new NPDES permit which was issued on February 21, 1984. Although, on a few occasions, the wastewater treatment systems showed noncompliance for various parameters such as suspended solids, settle- able solids, chorine residual, aluminum, chromium, etc., in most cases, the wastewater olants have met NPDES and state standards. However, a treatment system to provide neutralization of acidic coal pile runoff is required to prevent pH violations under NPDES permit No. TN 002950. This system is scheduled for completion during FY'84. Also, to meet NPDES requirements systems are being orovided for the collection of lime sludges, chromate discharge control, collection and transport of nitrate wastes, acidic effluent treatment, oil collection pits in storm drains, rehabilitation of sanitary sewer lines chromate sludge collection, neutral- isation facility, uranium and transuranic removal and a sludge treatment facility.

Information is needed on the location and characterization of storm water outfalls and sediment trans- port data especially with regard to the treat- ment and holding ponds. The sanitary sewage plant may receive some industrial wastes and the NPDES permit was revised to include the necessary parameters. The K-25 drinking water plant is located on the Clinch River about 4.5 miles downstream of the mouth of White Oak Lake. The sediments of White Oak Lake and Creek are known to contain consider- able amounts of pollutants including radio- active materials from operations and disposal practices at ORNL. It is therefore likely that water from the treatment plant and/or sediments from the filter backwash contain radioactive pollutants. The water and the backwash lagoon sediments were checked to determine the extent of contamination and the permit was revised accordingly. Lab wastes are presently discharged to a pond at the front of the property. The TDHE has suggested that a better way of handling these wastes be devised and has suggested batch treatment with the resulting sediments being disposed of offsite at an approved landfill* A master groundwater monitoring urogram should be formulated with particular attention being paid to known areas of contamination such as old burial grounds. orPA» The avstem does not meet accepted standards. A waste oil storage facility is being con- structed to provide for interim bulk storage of waste oil and solvents that are contamin- ated with uranium. The facility is necessary to comply with 40 CPR 265* Ultimate disposal will be by an incineration unit which is pres- ently being built and scheduled for completion in FY'84. An oil decontamination facility is nlanned for FY 84 whereby enriched uranium will be removed from waste oils and solvents «o as to mitigate nuclear criticality concerns •nrt thus allow for bulk storage and noncritica. incineration. An incineratior with auxiliary iSSJ£en£ for disposal of PCB and uranium contaminated organic wastes is Planned for completion in FY'86 to comply with the Toxic ------- DOE Oak Ridge Gaseous Plant (K-25) CERCLA: TOXICS: Substances Control Act. A low level radio- active waste facility is planned for FY'86-87 for the treatment of solid and liquid waste to meet the requirements of proposed DOE order 05820, RCRA, and to meet the intent of 40 CPR 61 (Class A waste). Pond 1407B which receives wastewater from the coal pile and the uranium decontamina- tion facility and 1407C pond which contains sediments from the 1407b pond should be checked for RCRA wastes. Pond 1407C is not lined and may leak. A plan for cleaning out this pond has been developed. A Compliance Evaluation Inspection was made of the K-25 facility in July 13, 1983 by the TDWM and EPA with guidance by K-25 personnel. There are three active and three major inactive burial grounds on the K-25 site. There are also several small inactive sites. The active sites are (1) the classified waste burial ground, (2) contractors spoil area, (3) refuse glass disposal area. The major inactive sites include (1) Inactive scrap metal burial site (2) radioactive burial site (3) class- ified waste. The sites should be examined for possible groundwater contamination, the possibility of contaminated stormwater runoff and for RCRA wastes, if the wastes are found to be hazardous, a plan of dis- posal must be developed. PCB's and uranium are handled at the facil- ity. See RCRA for method of disposal. PROBLEM AREAS .tb. Recent equipment replacements should correct the problem with flouride. vatfr• water and sediments in White Oak Creek are * known to be contaminated with radioactive materials. The source of the contamination must be located and eliminated.

Coal pile runoff needs pH correction; the extent of surface water and groundwater contamination from burial grounds, spills and dump sites needs to be determined; and some treatment systems need upgrading. RCRA: The present system does not meet accepted standards and needs revisions as outlined under RCRA. CERCLA: Suspected sites need detailed surveys to determine whether hazardous materials are present and the extent of groundwater and surface water contamination. Where hazard- ous materials are present, a plan of dis- posal must be developed. ACTION NEEDED Obtain funds and completed planned facili- ties. Clean up hazardous wastes as out- lined.

The DOE plans to eliminate the discharge. 8) East Fork Poplar Creek and Bear Creek - A Task Force was established by EPA DOE and TDHE to study the contamination and' formulate a remedial plan for cleaning up the two creek watersheds. 9) Groundwater Study for Y-12 Facility - A limited groundwater study investigating the hydrologic characteristics of Bear Creek Valley disposal areas including the isolation area, disposal pits, oil pond and trenches and oil landfarm, the S-3 ponds, the New Hope Pond sludge disposal basin, was sub- mitted on December 30, 1983. The agencies are discussing the conclusions. The DOE has sub- mitted to TDHE and EPA a master monitoring plan for groundwaters and surface waters of the entire Y-12 facility which indicated all present sampling locations and all parameters analyzed. Temporary treatment measures have been instituted at the Y-12 facility to treat wastes, a new industrial wastewater treatment facility is required at Y-12 to meet water quality standards. Some wastewater is temporarily being treated at the K-25 treatment plant. It is expected that the final dates required for construction of the treatment plant will be incorporated in a Federal ------- Page 3 Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant Facilities Compliance Agreement executed bv EPA and the DOE. RCRA: The facility is in compliance with EPA hazardous waste regulations until it is issued or denied a full RCRA permit. Part A is on file. The facility has been inspected by the state. However, the facility has many sites which do not presently' meet accepted RCRA standards. EPA has delegated to the state the authority for Phase I. The February 27, 1984 EPA/DOE MOU prevents the state from taking actions under RCRA. The DOE plans to provide a central location for disposal of hazardous waste for the Oak Ridge facilities. A notice of intent for an EIS has been announced. Facilities are planned for the storage of oil contaminated with toxic or radioactive substances, however, money has not yet been appropriated. A compliance evaluation inspection made by the TDHE on February 23, 1983, identified several potential sites which are under investigation. The sites being studied are as follows: 1) New Hope Pond (N.H.P.) 2) Disposal area for NHP on Chestnut Ridge 3) S-3 ponds 4) "Isolation Area," "Disposal Pits," and "Oil Land Farm" 5) East Fork Poplar Creek, Bear Creek, and bank areas along EFPC and other areas where excavated materials may have been placed. 6) Ditch leading to NHP and adjacent grounds. 7) Groundwater adjacent to these disposal sites. PCB contaminated oils and solvents were general- ly disposed of in earth trenches by ground burial. After is was discovered that there was seepage from the trenches to Bear Creek, a pond was built to intercept the waste. The RCRA staff believe this would be a hazardous waste impoundment and would be technically reviewed per the.February 27, 1984 MOU. CERCLAx East Fork Poplar Creek and its banks in some areas and New Hope Pond are known to be heavily contaminated with mercury. Bear Creek also is contaminated with mercury but to a lesser extent. Also, Bear Creek and East Fork Poplar Creek are suspected of having received unknown quantities of plutonium, lead, uranium, thorium, berrylliumr and polychlorinated biphenyls and ------- Page 4 DOE Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant biphenyls and may be contaminated with these materials. Tests are being conducted to deter- mine the degree of contamination and the remedial measure necessary for cleaning up the areas. Also, if testing shows that the sludge placed in the disposal site on Chestnut Ridge is hazardous, appropriate remedial actions under CERCLA and closure under RCRA technical require- ments will be required. The S-3 ponds are unlined and serve as holding and treatment ponds for plating sludges, acids, stripping and cleaning solutions, solvents, etc. The ponds are being closed out and the remaining hazardous wastes will be subject to appropriate remedial action under CERCLA and proper closure under RCRA tephni- cal requirements. The new industrial waste treatment system will replace the ponds, the DOE has awarded a contract to investigate the hydro- logic characteristics of the Bear Creek Valley disposal areas (isolation area, disposal pits, oil pond and trenches and oil landfarm), the S-3 ponds and the New Hope pond sludge disposal basin. The results of this investigation will provide informa- tion to assess site conditions, determine if significant contamination to the groundwater has resulted from operations, and assess the need and feasibility of corrective measures. PROBLEM AREAS The main problem areas are as follows: 1. The need for reissuance of NPDES permits to include all presently permitted as well as unper- mitted discharges to East Pork Poplar Creek and Bear Creek. 2. Mercury contamination of East Pork Poplar Creek and Bear Creek including banks and flood- plain along EFPC. Also, possible contamination with other elements including Pb, U, Th, Be, and PCB's. 3. Mercury contamination in New Hope Pond, also, other pollutants. 4. Sludge disposal area on Chestnut Ridge investigation of possible groundwater contamination, also, determination if wastes are hazardous. 5. Discharges to S-3 ponds and potential contamin- ation of ground and surface water from these ponds. ------- Page 5 DOE Oak ACTION ------- Page 6 DOE Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant (6) PCB's and PCB contaminated oils and materials deposited in the "Isolation Areas, "Disposal Pita" and "Oil Farm Area" must be deposed of in accordance with PCB regulations under TSCA.

COMPLIANCE STATUS AIR: WATER: RCRA: CERCLA: TOXICS: In compliance but funding has been terminated except for clean up operations. Air pollut- ants from grading operations is the only problem remaining. In compliance. An NPDES permit was issued by EPA to control the discharge from the Reactor and to control turbidity and solids in the Clinch River resulting from erosion of soils due to grading operations in site preparation, Treatment ponds with sand filter dikes were constructed to remove solids from runoff and from gravel and truck washing. These facil- ities will be used for grading and clean up operations. No RCRA problems with clean up of site. No hazardous waste sites are known to exist in the project area. No problems involving toxics in clean up. ... , PROBLEM AREAS On November 1, 1983 the CRBRP was ordered to close down operation. Congress failed to provide a funding bill for its continued construction causing termination of facilitv construction. Presently, the only problem remaining is to regrade the site and vegetate it so that water quality standards are not violated.
