Upland disposal

If a permit for relocation within a Federal waterway cannot be obtained, the material can be used for direct or indirect beneficial uses, upland disposal or disposal in waters other than Federal waterways. For these options, the guidelines provide only a general orientation, because the approval procedures fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal States.

The soil environment is the one most commonly affected by explosives wastes, primarily because (1) spill sites and disposal areas (e.g., bum pits) at packing and production facilities are predominantly in upland areas and (2) most explosive compounds are solids with low aqueous solubility. Extensive groundwater contamination is associated primarily with wastewater lagoons and leach pits at production and packing facilities. Table 7.3 indicates the primary constituents of waste streams.
