Offsite TSDF

In summary, the WRS and BRS produce process water, vapor to the BRS OTS, and secondary waste in the form of a solid cake for shipment to an offsite TSDF. It is planned that the BRS OTS filter cake will be analyzed for toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) organics (volatile and semivolatile constituents) and metals. In addition, the filter cake is planned to be tested for free liquids to ensure the dewatering has removed liquids in accordance with land disposal restrictions (PMACWA, 2006).25 The BRS OTS is, for the purposes of this report, identical to the BTA OTS except that there are no iron sponge absorbers or condensate pumps. The BRS OTS produces prefilter, HEPA, and charcoal filter secondary wastes.

Finding 6-1. The shipment of certain secondary wastes to suitable offsite TSDFs could have significant advantages. Among these are savings in facihty infrastructure and equipment costs, a smaller footprint for the facihty, and a shorter time for closure. 

Numerous secondary wastes are produced by incineration processes. Table 5-2 lists the liquid and solid wastes produced by the baseline incineration facility at Tooele (U.S. Army, 1999). This table also shows whether wastes generated are (1) incinerated within the facility, (2) sent to an offsite TSDF, or (3) placed in permitted on-site storage. Treated metal parts from the metal parts furnace (MPF) are described as a high-volume stream that contains the 5X-treated metal bodies of all munitions and agent ton containers.
