1.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this waste analysis plan (WAP) is to document the waste acceptance process, sampling methodologies, analytical techniques, and overall processes that are undertaken for waste accepted for storage at the Central Waste Complex (CWC), located in the 200 West Area (Figure 1-1) of the Hanford Facility, Richland, Washington. The CWC provides storage and limited treatment (e.g., absorption, etc. ,) capabilities for mixed and/or radioactive waste that is generated on or off the Hanford Facility. waste does not include source, special nuclear, and by-product material components of mixed waste, radionuclides are not within the scope of this documentation. know1 edge.

centimeter, and the front, back, and side walls of all the modules are constructed of 10-gauge steel and are coated inside with chemical-resistant epoxy paint or have a corrosion-resistant covering. All roofs are constructed of 12-gauge steel. Three of the Low-Flash-Point Mixed Waste Storage Modules have fire-retardant plywood floors and ceilings within the metal skin. Some modules have fiberglass grating on the floors. Point and Alkali Metal Mixed Waste Storage Modules are constructed of metal.

All modules have a vented catch sump under the storage floor to provide spill containment, as well as precluding spills from affecting other containers by keeping the storage deck clean. Mixed Waste Storage Modules handling transuranic flammable waste, draft ventilation and electrical service are provided. The other Low-Flash-Point and Alkali Metal Mixed Waste Storage Modules similarly can be supplied if necessary. Water supply presently is not provided but could be made available if necessary. Water will not be provided to the Alkali Metal Mixed Waste Storage Modules. This is due to the violent explosive reaction that is created when alkali metal is mixed with water.

This section covers the waste acceptance process for the proper management of waste in the CWC.

2.1 WASTE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

The onsite generating unit or offsite generator (for the purposes of this WAP, permitted treatment and storage facilities are classified as either onsite generating units or offsite generators) must have a program to certify characterization of their waste. The onsite generating unit or offsite generator must document their waste certification program on a stream-by- stream basis in the form of waste certification summaries. Each waste certification summary must include a description o f methods used for characterizing the applicable waste stream(s). provide the data quality needed for management of the waste and ensure that waste is packaged properly. must be included in a waste certification summary is provided in the following sections.

Characterization of consistently-generated waste streams

If the waste is being generated through a continuing process, such that the composition of the waste is not expected to vary appreciably over time, waste characterization requirements can be met through administrative and engineering controls on the process. the waste stream must be characterized through a campaign of sampling and analysis. expected to remain within known 1 imits or where representative sampling is not possible because of the physical form of the waste, gross measurements (e.g., pH, radioactivity screening) and related process knowledge could be substituted for specific chemical sampling and analysis. be provided in the waste certification summary:

Characterization of Batch Waste Streams

If the waste is being generated through a short-term or infrequent operation, such that the composition of the waste is expected to vary appreciably over time, the waste could be characterized as a batch process. For such operations, the waste certification summary should describe the method for determining batch sizes and the mechanism for grouping waste into batches.

Batches can be defined by the specific waste generating operation with several similar operations grouped together (e.g., the applicable waste collected from several different chemistry laboratories), by the type of waste being generated (e.g., waste oils regardless of the point of origin), by point of origin (e.g., all applicable waste - either soil, liquid, or sludge, but not combinations of the three - from a given structure, regardless of the generating process), or by some other method appropriate to the specific onsite generating unit or offsite generator. following information should be included in the waste certification summary:

2.1.4 Sampling and Analysis

generating units and/or offsite generators characterize the waste by sampling and analyzing the waste stream. waste can be used to decide the analytical testing needed to determine the dangerous constituents of the waste (e.g., if no reason exists to suspect certain chemical compounds like pesticides, there is no reason to test for such parameters).

The onsite generating units and/or offsite generators determine the appropriate sampling method, conduct all field and sampling quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC), arrange for and coordinate with appropriate analytical laboratories, and document the sampling and analysis activities. The onsite generating units and/or offsite generators must certify that the waste analysis information is complete and accurate. For field activities, requirements will follow SW-846 (EPA 1986). Analytical laboratories will follow requirements stated in the Hanford Analytical Services Quality Assurance Plan (DOE/RL-94-55).

The need to protect employees, the public, and the environment

Verify waste received is LDR compliant as applicable.

Incoming waste verification is accomplished by reviewing applicable documentation and waste tracking forms or manifests against the waste. Selection of waste for verification is based on the following criteria.

For radioactive (non-mixed) waste containers stored in the CWC, an adequate verification rate based on process knowledge, must be used.

For radioactive mixed waste containers stored in the CWC, at least 5 percent or an alternative rate based on process knowledge and/or analytical data must be used.

Verification is performed using a combination of nondestructive examination, physical examination, and/or chemical screening (see Appendix A). Verification is performed by the SW organization or a designated organization during the waste acceptance process at the CWC.

The following 'special materials' might be excluded from verification by chemical sampling:

Waste containers are not opened because o f as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) concerns

Empty product containers

Single substance spill material

Off-specification, contaminated, and/or outdated commercial products in the original product container

Contaminated debris and asbestos (does not include liquids or soils)

Other special-case situations handled on a case-by-case basis.

The methods for ensuring representative sampling are presented in Section 3 . 0 . waste correspond to those referenced in SW-846 and WAC 173-303. The analytical methods chosen for the verification parameters are described in Appendix A.

Special materials have been exempted from chemical screening because these materials potentially are hazardous materials (e.g., remote handled, asbestos); are well defined and nonvariable (e.g., single substance spill material or off-specification products); or are unusually difficult to sample and analyze (e.g., empty product containers, contaminated debris, or demolition materials). For these exceptions, the onsite generating unit or offsite generator supplies sufficient chemical and physical characteristics for proper storage of the waste.

As practical, the sampling techniques used for specific types of

Incorrect or incomplete entries on the waste tracking forms, Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, or other shipping papers can be corrected or completed with concurrence of the onsite generating unit or offsite generator, and the CWC operating organization. Corrections are made by drawing a single line through the incorrect entry. entries are initialed and dated by the individual making the correction.

Corrected

The waste packages can be held in an appropriate staging area and the onsite generating unit or offsite generator requested to provide written instructions for correcting the condition before the waste is accepted.

Waste packages can be returned as unacceptable.

The onsite generating unit or offsite generator could be requested to correct the condition on the Hanford Facility before the waste is accepted.

If a noncompliant mixed waste package is received from an offsite generator, and the waste package is nonreturnable because of condition, packaging, etc., and if an agreement on disposition cannot be reached among the involved parties, the issue will be referred to the DOE-RL, Ecology, and other appropriate regulatory agencies for resolution.

An evaluation will be performed to determine the need to sample previously accepted waste from the noncomplying onsite generating unit

2.6 MANIFEST SYSTEM

The Hanford Facility has one EPA/State identification number as required by WAC 173-303-060, and all TSD units on the Hanford Facility are part of a single dangerous waste facility. Therefore, onsite transfers of dangerous or mixed waste are not subject to the manifesting requirements specified in WAC 173-303-370 and -180. However, all onsite waste transfers are conducted in a manner to ensure protection of human health and the environment. Onsite waste tracking systems voluntarily are used for transporting waste.

For application in this document, the term 'offsite waste' is defined as mixed waste shipped to the CWC from:

Any generator or generating unit that is located in an area that is not part of the contiguous Hanford Facility and/or

Any generator or generating unit from which the shipment of waste is transported over a public access roadway.

Offsite waste shipments are not exempt from the requirements of

After scheduling the shipment, the following occurs.

An offsite generator completes a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest for each shipment. An onsite generating unit completes an onsite waste tracking form.

The transporter receives the waste, and dates and signs the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest or onsite waste tracking form. The onsite generating unit or offsite generator dates, signs, and retains a copy of the manifest or the onsite waste tracking form.

The waste is transported to the CWC using onsite transportation personnel, or private carrier as applicable. mixed waste must have an EPA/State identification number.

WAC 173-303-370 and -180.

Transporters of offsite

Offsite waste arriving at the Hanford Facility is inspected by receiving personnel. The waste containers are inspected for damage and proper labeling when feasible, and review the transportation documentation for completeness and accuracy. If discrepancies are identified, the shipment is not allowed on the Hanford Facility until the discrepancies are resolved. If the shipment passes inspection, the shipment proceeds to the CWC or a verification faci 1 i ty .

2.8 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR WASTE GENERATED OFFSITE

There are no additional requirements for waste generated offsite.

2.9 METHODOLOGY FOR IGNITABLE, REACTIVE, OR INCOMPATIBLE WASTE

The CWC handles ignitable, reactive, and incompatible waste. Incompatible waste are packaged in separate containers and containers are separated from one another. All waste handling is performed according to applicable regulations and in a manner that minimizes the threat to human health or the environment. The following specific precautions are taken.

No smoking is allowed in the CWC storage buildings/modules.

No open flames, sparking devices, cutting or welding, hot surfaces, or static or friction sparks are allowed in CWC while ignitable or reactive waste is present, unless an appropriate authorization has been received from the responsible internal safety organizations. This authorization details the work restrictions necessary to ensure that ignitable or reactive waste is not exposed to conditions that could cause detonation or ignition.

The following sections discuss the overall objectives of the analysis program, as well as the specific data quality objectives (Table 4-1) . Specific field and laboratory QA/QC requirements to objectives also are addressed.

waste (DQOs) meet these

4.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE WASTE ANALYSIS PROGRAM

The primary objective of the waste analysis program is to ensure that the waste stored at the CWC is characterized adequately for proper storage. The waste analysis program is designed to meet this objective, and the general waste analysis requirements of WAC 173-303-300 and the disposal restrictions of WAC 173-303-140(4) and 40 CFR 268 if applicable.

4.2 DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES

The data used to support the CWC waste analysis program needs to be scientifically sound, of known quality, and thoroughly documented. In DQDs for the waste characterization and verification program, the standard parameters (precision, accuracy, compatibility, completeness, and representativeness) were considered (DOE/RL-94-55).

The field data for verification testing will meet EPA quality level I and I 1 criteria. The laboratory data for chemical analyses will meet EPA quality level I 1 1 criteria. Data from radiological analyses will meet EPA qual i ty 1 eve1 V criteria (DOE/RL-94-55).

4.3 FIELD QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL

Field blanks and replicates are required for samples analyzed i n the

The number of field QA samples is 10 percent of the field as part of verification testing as well as for samples submitted for laboratory analysis. total number of field samples taken. The 10 percent criterion commonly is accepted as a minimum number of QA/QC samples. The types and frequency of collection for field QA samples will follow onsite criteria (DOE/RL-94-55).

4.4 LABORATORY QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL

The laboratory QA/QC requirements out1 ined in the following apply to laboratory analyses requested by the CWC operating organization for residuals characterization or for recharacterization as part of a corrective action. Most laboratory analyses for waste characterization are conducted by the onsite generating units or offsite generators, who are required to document their waste certification programs (refer to Section 2 . 0 ) .

ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES AND RATIONALE

These analytical procedures are designed to identify or screen specific waste components. concerning the distribution and nature of waste constituents within the waste material, and the CWC operating organization is merely identifying that previously submitted information is correct rather than completely characterizing the waste, a less comprehensive sampling and analytical approach is appropriate.

Because the characterization provides information

The analytical screening parameters that could be used for waste received at the CWC, associated rationale, and methods for these analyses are as fol 1 ows. .

Method--to a standard paint filter, 100 centimeters or 100 grams of waste are added and allowed to settle for 5 minutes. passing through the filter signifies failure of the test (SW-846, Method 9095).

pH screen is used to identify the pH and corrosive nature of an aqueous or solid waste, aid in establishing compatibility strategies, and to indicate the proper storage location in CWC.

Methods--full range pH is used for the initial screening. If the initial screen indicates a ph below 2 or above 12.5, a pH meter is used. liquid portion of liquid/solid samples. of the solution from a 1:l slurry of water to waste is used (or ASTM, Method D4980).

Flammabil ity ootential screen is used to determine the fire-producing potential of the waste. This test can be applied to waste liquids, solids, and semisolids.

Methods--liquids are tested using the HAZCAT' combustibility, char and/or oxidizer tests; solids and semisolids are tested using the HAZCAT char and/or oxidizer tests.

Water reactivity screen is used to determine if the waste has the potential to react vigorously with water to form gases or other reaction products.

Method--approximately 5 grams of solid or 5 milliliters of liquid waste are mixed with about 5 milliliters of water. water is added to the waste. fuming, bubbling, or spattering. positive evidence that the waste is water reactive.

Cyanide screen indicates whether the waste produces hydrogen cyanide upon acidification below pH 2.

APPENDIX B

TOTAL ORGANIC HALIDES SCREENING FOR INCOMING WASTE ACCEPTANCE

This appendix addresses the guidelines and processes by which the CWC operating organization determines the applicability and demonstrates compliance with the LDR regulations for waste with HOCs. The appropriate screening methods will be used for TOX.

Pre-Shipment Character1 zation for Halogenated Organic Compounds or Total Organic Halides

A determination as to the applicability of the HOCs is made during the pre-shipment acceptance testing. of TOX analysis or based on results of the individual compounds listed in Appendix I 1 1 of 40 CFR 268. This determination is made by the onsite generating unit or offsite generator as part of the information submitted to the CWC operating organization.

This determination is based on the results

Waste Verification for Total Organic Halides

The CWC operating organization samples and analyzes at least 20 percent of all incoming waste streams that have pre-shipment TOX readings above 500 milligrams per kilogram to ensure the incoming waste arrives with TOX levels below 1,000 milligrams per kilogram.

TOX, the material is considered for land disposal if all other waste acceptance criteria are met. If the TOX test indicates greater than 1,000 milligrams per kilogram of TOX is present, the waste is subjected to further analysis to determine if the HOC concentration exceeds 1,000 milligrams per kilogram as described in the next section.

If the incoming waste contains less than 1,000 milligrams per kilogram of

Land Disposal Prohibition for Shipments with Excessive Levels o f Total Organic Hal ides

waste where waste analysis results exceeds 1,000 milligrams per kilogram of TOX unless the comprehensive analysis criteria are performed to demonstrate that the HOC level in such waste does not exceed 1,000 milligrams per kilogram. Laboratory analysis, in accordance with EPA approved methods, is performed to determine the concentration of each constituent listed in Appendix I 1 1 of 40 CFR 268. If the laboratory results indicate that the total concentration of the listed HOCs does not exceed 1,000 milligrams per kilogram (solids) or 1,000 milligrams per liter (liquids), the CWC operating organization will transport this waste stream for land disposal after recording these data in the operating record.

The CWC operating organization will not transfer for disposal any mixed
