3.4.5 Existing Waste Disposal
Shelter 208 currently houses approximately 70 drums and assortment of waste including coolers and boxes. This material was generated during characterization investigations previously conducted on-site. As part of the remedial effort, all waste containers will be removed, segregated, and loaded into the intermodal containers for off-site disposal. Prior to working with the drums, the drums and contents will be surveyed to determine radiation exposure levels and surface contamination levels.
There are approximately 29 drums containing water used in previous decontamination/sampling efforts. The water will be pumped from the drums into the contaminated water holding tank to be used for dust suppression during the excavation activities. Only areas exceeding the release criteria will be sprayed using this water. The empty drums will be crushed and added to the waste stream for offsite disposal. (The water is removed through evaporation leaving the contaminants behind.)
Drums containing PPE, jars, and other miscellaneous items will be emptied and the waste added to the waste stream. The drums will be crushed, and added to waste stream. An inventory of the existing drums is presented in Table 3-1.
