Identification and management of hazardous wastes at a natural gas treatment plant in California

Authors:

This report presents a plan for the identification and management of hazardous wastes at a large natural gas treatment plant now nearing completion near Santa Barbara, California. The plan is fully compliant with the State and Federal statutes, regulations, and administrative procedures that comprise California's hazardous waste management program. The emphasis of the report is on the identification of hazardous wastes that will be generated at the plant. Prior to start-up, the 16 individual waste streams are classified as either hazardous or nonhazardous using plant process flow and materials balance data supplied by a contractor. Based on this pre-operation classification, a plant to store, transport, and dispose of the hazardous wastes is proposed. Finally, a post-operation waste sampling and analysis plan is proposed in order to confirm the pre-operation classification and thus validate the initial hazardous waste management plan.

Wastes from Citrus Plants

January 1991

Dan Kimball

Citrus processing plants, like most other plants, generate materials of little or no commercial value that generally need to be removed from the processing site. It usually is the responsibility of the quality control department to monitor and manage waste accumulation and treatment, especially in small processing plants. These materials, which can be classified as solid, liquid, gaseous, or ... [Show full abstract] hazardous wastes, can be conveyed from the plant through waste streams, by air flow into the atmosphere, or by vehicle. Because these materials affect persons in the vicinity of the plant, and because federal, state, and local regulations apply to the disposal of these wastes, the quality control of wastes is an important function.

Proposed Nonhazardous-Industrial-Waste Classification Scheme

May 1995 · Journal of Environmental Engineering

The lack of federal guidelines covering disposal of nonhazardous industrial waste (NHIW) has resulted in highly variable and inconsistent state programs for regulating this largest portion of the nation’s solid-waste stream. Most states do not have regulations specifically addressing NHIW; the result being a growing backlog of disposal requests that have to be considered on a case-by-case basis, ... [Show full abstract] wasting time and money. NHIW poses potential threats to human health and the environment if disposed of as a solid waste; NHIW unnecessarily disposed of as hazardous wastes requires excessive monetary resources. Because of the large quantity of NHIW currently being generated and improperly classified and disposed, this study was directed at developing a comprehensive and usable method for characterizing NHIW. The classification scheme described herein is designed to characterize NHIW based on realistically available information. However, some considerations within the scheme may require NHIW generators to provide realistically obtainable information beyond current requirements.

TRA Closure Plan REV 0-9-20-06 HWMA/RCRA Closure Plan for the TRA/MTR Warm Waste System Voluntary Co...

January 2007

Winterholler

This Hazardous Waste Management Act/Resource Conservation and Recovery Act closure plan was developed for portions of the Test Reactor Area/Materials Test Reactor Warm Waste System located in the Materials Test Reactor Building (TRA-603) at the Reactor Technology Complex, Idaho National Laboratory Site, to meet a further milestone established under Voluntary Consent Order Action Plan ... [Show full abstract] SITE-TANK-005 for Tank System TRA-007. The reactor drain tank and canal sump to be closed are included in the Test Reactor Area/Materials Test Reactor Warm Waste System. The reactor drain tank and the canal sump were characterized as having managed hazardous waste. The reactor drain tank and canal sump will be closed in accordance with the interim status requirements of the Hazardous Waste Management Act/Resource Conservation and Recovery Act as implemented by the Idaho Administrative Procedures Act 58.01.05.009 and 40 Code of Federal Regulations 265. This closure plan presents the closure performance standards and methods for achieving those standards.
