1.1 SACRGROUND

Lockheed Mart in Hanford Corporation (LHHC ) manages the activitiesof the 200 East and West tank farms. Rust Federal ServicesHanford (RFSH), Generator Services/Operating Facilities (GS/OF)manages, for LM5C, al1 containerized solid wa~te generated fromthese activities. Activities that generate waste include, butare not limited to, routine maintenance, clean-up, upgrades,spills, excavations, and removal or repair of eguipnent.

The containerized solid waste is transported from the point ofgeneration to the 209E facility. GS/OF receives waste which isclassified as either Hazardous/Dangerous, Low-Level, Mixed, orNon-Regulated waste. The waste is characterized for properdesignation and then prepared for shipnent to a disposal, storage,or recycle facility. Hazardoua/Dangeroue and Mixed waste must becharacterized, designated and shipped within a 90-day holdingperiod.

The regulatory drivers which reguire waste generators tocharacterize their waste streams are found in 40 CFR, Part 260 -299, the Washington Administrative code, Dangerous WasteRegulations, 173-303, and the Department of Energy Directives (DOEOrder 5S20.2A) . The ,’HanfordSite Solid Waste AcceptanceCriteria””, WHC-EP-0063-4 and “Waste Specification System”, WHc-EP-0846 also gives guidance to waste generators in characterizingwaste streams. This document does not apply to high-levelradioactive waste.

Hazardous chemical, physical, and radioactive characterizationdata and information is necessary to pro~rly designate tank farmcontainerized solid waste for treatment, storage, disposal, andlorrecycle. The following methods are presently used to acquirecharacterization information:

(1) process knowledge,

(2) Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) ,

(3) Cesium-137 (cs-137) activity ratios, and

(4) ssmpling and analysis of solid waste.

SNF-SD-WN-PLN-l 19, ~. 1

Solid waste ie classified as either hazardouafdangeroua, low-level, mixed, or non-regulated waste. Solid waste is alsocategorized into tank farm waste streams (i.e. , tank-contacteddebris including HEPA filters, soile, low-level debris) .

Iiazardou81Danaemua Waste

Hazardous waste is characterized by using process knowledge,material safety data sheet (MSDS) information, and whennecessary, sampling and analyais data, particularly, forunknown wastes. (Washington State uses the term “DangerousWaste” to describe hazardous and extremely hazardous wastecharacteristics and criteria) .

Low-Level Waste

Low-level waste is characterized by using process knowledge,MSDS information, and ssmpling and analysis data.

Mixed Waste

Mixed waste is characterized by using proceea knowledge, theCS-137 activity ratios, MSDS informat ion, and eampling andanalysis data.

Non-reaulated Waste

Non-regulated waste is characterized by using procesmknowledge, MSDS informat ion, and when necessary, asmplingand analysis data.

Oaneral Use

Documented evidence of past or current industrial practices thatuse hazardous or non-hazardous chemicale, is used to characterizesolid waste streame.

Process knowledge of chemical products used in operating ormaintaining tank farm eguipment is used in characterizing wastegenerated from clean-up activities or eguipment maintenance andlorfailures. Waste etreams could include paint wastes, shop clean-out wastee, oil spill wastes, equipment chamical changeouts.

Snecific Use - Listed Wastes

Mixed waste streams, in particular, tank-contacted debris andcontaminated soil, specifically use process knowledge in defininglisted waste issues.

Process knowledge is considered to be documented evidence of pastor current industrial practices that use hazardous or “listed,,chemicals, and indicates that these chemicals are found in currentwaste storage tanks. The contents of the waste tanke is presumedto be the primary source of any contamination found in the tankfarms.

Past Hanford Site chemical processing operations generated mixedwaste. This mixed waste was transferred from the chemical processplants to underground storage tanks on the Hanford Site. Thetanks are located in the 200 East and 200 West area tank farms.

There are 149 single-shell tanks with a collective design capacityof 91,880,000 gallons. There are 28 double-shell tanks with acollective design capacity of 43,000,000 gallons. The double-shell tanks are used for the interim storage of mixed waste.These tanks are considered storage units.

In addition to the above tanks, there are numerous smallercapacity single- and double-shell tanks located within the farms,including a variety of waste storage and transfer tanks.

Tank waste hazardous chemical constituents have been determined byreporting 0.01 percent by weight of the net weight of the wastefor each of the listed hazardous constituents. This method isconsistent with the “derived-from rule”, which requires solidwaste that comes into contact with a listed waste (tank waste is alisted waste ) be managed as a hazardous waste.

HNP-SD-W3+PLN- 119, REW . 1

‘“Listed”chemicale ueed in the extraction processes reguirethat waste codes be assigned to the present waste. Waete codesmay be assigned solely on the source of the waste and need notconeider waete characteristics or compositions. These codee maybe for specific sources, such as wood preservation or for non-specific sources. Hanford tank wastefollowing non-specific, source codes

,~ been assigned theFOO1, FO02 , FO03 , FO04,

and FO05. A further explanation of wa=te codes may be found in 40CFR Part 261.

Tank-contacted waste and contaminated soil is a8sign~3~ the abovecodes due to the “derived-from” and “mixture” rules andmanaged as mixed waste. Through process knowledge, it is believedthat all the above F-codes apply to tank contacted waste.However, al1 of the codes may not apply to every individual tank.Accurate documentation is unavailable for every introduction andtransfer of listed waf?te, (i.e., listed solvents). Due to thesepast practices, the above codes are currently applied to all tankcontacted waste.

Process knowledge detailing concentration= of the “listed,,chemicals in the tank waste is limited at the present time. Ascurrent tank waste core sampling data becomes available, newinformation concerning “1isted,,chemicals wil 1 be used where

appropriate to characterize solid ~aste. It is conservativelyassumed that each of these “F-listed” chemicals is present intank-contacted debris in concentrateions of no more than O.01% ofthe weight of the waste. Current data acguired from sampling oftank centacted waste supports this aseumpt ion, thus far.

Current sampling data results indicate that the “F-

lieted” chemicals are present in tank farm contaminated soilwaste in the following concentrations:

FOO1 (1,1,l-Trichloroethane) < 1.0 mgfkg

FO02 (Methylene chloride) < 1.0 mglkg

Process knowledge indicates that a B-Plant activity, prior to198S, generated the source of 1,1,1 - Trichloroethane (TCE). Aspent solvent solution containing TCE was used for cranedecontamination activities. The crane was sprayed with TCE, and

the TCE residue fluid drained thru the B-Plant process drainagesystem (cell 21 or cell 16) and then on into the low-level wastecollection system.

The low-level waste generated in B-Plant wa6 processed thru the E-23-3 concentrator. The condensed vapor from operating the

concentrator was collected in two 13,000 gallon holding tankewhich was then transferred to the double-shell tank farms.

T-Plant performs decontaminateion activities on eguipment to reduceor remove smearable radiological contamination. Depending uponthe type of equipment and the nature of the contamination, thefollowing decontamination methods have been used in the paat:steam cleaning, high-pressure water application, blast ing with dryand wet abrasives, acidfbase chemical baths, and occasionalcleaning by hand using small amounts of solvents and detergents.Waate from these processes goes to Tank 15-1.

Although not current 1y used at T-Plant, previous operations usedacetone and methylene chloride as decontamination agents. Between19S6 and 198S, four commercial decontamination solutionscontaining greater than 10% methylene chloride were used at T-Plant. About 3S gallons of methylene chloride were used per yearat T-Plant. Small amounts of acetone and methylene chloride maystil1 be present in the tank system, thus making T-Plant waste a“listed” waste.

Methyl ethyl ketone was used in the Redox analytical (222-s)laboratories and may have been discharged through the drains tothe tank farms.

sDecific use - l!oxic substance Control Act (’J!SCA)Wasto

The Backlog waste Program generated 769 drums and five boxes oftank farm soils to waste storage. During this program, Tank farmshad no process knowledge of any Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBS )contamination or spills within the farms that would designate andregulate the backlog soile for PCBS.

In 1996, additional waste sampling and analysis of the storedbacklog soils occurred reeulting in the determination that PCBS doeximt in some of these soil B. The detection of PCBe in thesesoils was unexpected and the source of the PCB contamination cannot be identified in the tank farms.

The Toxic Substante control Act (TSCA ) regulates the managementand disposal of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBS). At one time,PCBe were used as a heat transfer fluid in Hanford capacitors andtransformers. PCBS have also been identified as a compenent inheavy eguipment hydraulic fluid. Electric Utilities has notidentified any historical spills or leaks from any transformerslocated within the tank farms.

Due to this recent backlog soil sampling data information, allnewly generated tank farm soil waste should be field screened forPCB contamination. If the field screen re6ult indicates thepreeence of PCS above 1 ppm and there is no known eource ofcontaminantion, then the waste should be managed under TSCA amregulated waste.

2.2 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSS)

Process knowledge of chemical products used during operations mayidentify other hazardous chemicals in the waste streams.Information concerning the hazards or non-hazards of theeechemical products may be gathered from the Material Safety DataSheet (MSOS ) provided by the product manufacturer.

2.3 Cesium- 137 Activity Procedure(lo)

Tanks contain certain TCLP metals. Tank-contacted debris wasteis not easily sampled for TCLP metale. Therefore, theconcentration of ths TCLP metals on tank-contacted debris isestimated by relating metals to CS-137 concentrations. TheCesium(cs) -137 activity procedure is used to provide a worst-caseestimate of tOxiCity characteristic (TC) metals for tank-contacteddebris. This method uses the worst-case ratio of each TC metal toCS-137 activity from historical tank ssmpling data. If thismethod determines that a container may be designated for one ofthe TC metals, tank epecific ssmpling data may be evaluated todetermine more accurately whether a “D-” waste code should beadded to the container. Typically, the CS-137 activity of a

container must exceed 0.01 Ci for there to be any possibility ofadding waste codes for TC metals using this method.

CS-137 activity determination in a laboratory or field setting isrelatively easy and inexpensive. CS-137 activity was selected tocorrelate the composition of individual waste packages to thecomposition of bulk tank waste.

First, constituent concentrations were compared to the CS-137activity for each waste tank using data available from historicaltank characterization studies. Ratios of constituentconcentrateion to CS-137 activity were then derived for each tankand then compared on a tank-to-tank baaia. A worst-caee ratio foreach constituent was utilized to calculate a msxf.mum expectedconcentrateion. In this manner a laboratory or field measurementof CS-137 activity may be used to calculate the amount of allsignificant tank waste constituents in each waste container.

9

EWF-SD-WM-PLW- 119, RSV . 1

Worksheets were developed to simplify and organize thecalculations required by the generator.

The following procedure is used to determine compositioninformation on tank-contacted waste:

Step 1. Obtain the CS-137 activity (in Ci) of the wastecontainer by nondestructive asmay of the container.

Step 2. Divide the CS-137 activity by the weight of the wastematrix (in grams) . The waste matrix weight is definedas the weight of all waste materials inside thecentairier, but DOES NOT include the weight of thewaste container or any void space filler materials.Enter the CS-137 concentration (in Ci/g) in column 2of Table 1-1, Attachment A.

Step 3. Multiply the CS-137 concentration in column 2 by theratios in column 3. Multiply that number by 100%.Enter the results in column 5.

Step 4. Determine whether the worst-case ratio values fromColumn 5 are potentially above the WAC-173-303 limits.

Step 5. The TC constituent concentration is compared with theTC metal limits located in WAC-173-303-090(S) ,normalizing to account for dilution during the TCLPextraction.

If this method results in a waste designation which is consideredunnecessarily restrictive, laboratory data for each tank, tankfarm, or waste container may be substituted for the valuee fromTable 1-1. A catalog of data is maintained by the TankCharacterization Resource Center (TCRC ). The catalog is updatedevery six months. GS/OF is on the distribution list for this

catalog, as well as for the Tank Characterization Reports (TCRS).

The ideal situation for characterization by scaling factors wouldbe to have a complete, high-confidence database available for eachtank to ensure that the calculated values of the hazardous and

radioactive constituents remain conservative. Los Alamos NationalLaboratory (LATA ) has been tasked with compiling an estimate ofthe chemical and radionuclide compositions of the 177 Hanford HighLevel Waste storage tanks. This inventory is entitled the HanfordDefined Waste (HDW ) model. The latest HDW Model, Rev. 4 waspublished in January, 1997, with the final revision due by late1997. This inventory has been compiled from historical wastetransaction records, tank waste addition histories, wastecalculations, process knowledge, and tank waste eamplingcharacterization efforts. This final inventory, along with

10

EWF-SD-WM-PLW-119 , w . 1

additional waste sampling and laboratory analyeia, will assist invalidating the characterization ratios used in this document. Asmore accurate data become available, the ratios will be updatedand the degree of accuracy of waste characterization can becalculated and improved. Through process knowledge wastecharacterization should be documented and incorporated into asampling and analysis program.

2.4 Sampling and tialysis of containerized Solid Waste

Sampling and analysis of containerized solid waste provideeinformat ion required to properly designate waste for storage,disposal and/or recycle. Sampling and analysis of waste verifieswhat is known to be true about the waste atreaw from processknowledge, in addition to providing new informat ion concerning thehazardous or non-hazardous components of the waste. The generatoris responsible for providing accurate waste designation in orderto safely transport, etore, dispose, andlor recycle the waste incompliance with state and federal regulations.

Sampling and analysis of containerized waete is and wil 1 centinueto be the best means available for characterizing and designatingeolid waste. Represent ative sampling and the subsequent analysisof suspected chemical contaminants of a current waste etream,helps determine the true nature of the waste. The more accuratewaste streams are characterized, the better generated waete ismanaged, thus allowing for a more efficient run operation andwaste management cost savinga.

TANS FAR24S COWTAIWERI ZED SOLID WASTS SANPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN

I. INTRODUCTION

Ssmpling and analysis of containerized solid waste determines orverifies whether or not the waste contains constituents or exhibits acharacteristic or criteria that makes it hazardous. For regulatorypurposes, hazardous fdangerous solid wastes are defined in terms ofcharacteristics and criteria.

The Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) authorized theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish characteristics thatmake a waste hazardous (40 CFR, Part 261) . Washington Stste hasestablished Dangerous waste characteristics and criteria in WAC 173-303-090 and -100 for solid waete. containers are ssmpled and analyzed forone or more of the following characteristics depending upon the natureof and what is known about the waste:

(1) Characteristic of Ignitability - 0001

(2) Characteristic of Corrosivity - DO02

(3) Characteristic of Reactivity - DO03

(4) Toxicity characteristic - DO04 thru D043

This characteristic includes determinantions for toxic,heavy metals, volatile organics (VOAS), and semi-volatile organics (SVOAe).

Listed constituents are ss.mpledto, 1) verify listing assumptions, andto, 2) determine if the waste meets Land DiePsal Restriction (LDR)concentrations.

Waste may also be analyzed for other hazardous compounds, formulations,

and classes of substances, such as Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBS).

Washington State criteria consist of:

(1) Toxic dangerous waste,

(2) Persistent dangerous waste.

19

sNF-sD-wN-PLa&l 19, RSV . 1

These criteria are determined by book designation (NIOSH RTECS ) orbiological test ing for the toxic criteria and identifiying halogenatedor polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon constituent in the waste for thepersistent criteria.

II. OSJEC!TIVBS

The objective of this sampling and analysis plan is to state the stepsand requirements needed in acguiring representative solid waste samplesfor chemical analysis.

Solid waste samples are collected from containers and analyzed toresolve the following waste characterization issues:

(1) to determine if hazardous constituents or characteristics arepresent.

(2) to determine compliance with existing regulations by identifyingcontaminants which exceed any criteria or mtandards.

(3) to obtain data to classify, treat, recover, recycle, or determinecompatibility characteristics of the waste components.

IV. REQUIREMENTS

ALMA principles must be taken into account when any ssmpling job isundertaken and in determining the waste containers to be sampled. Priorto beginning a ssmpling job, GS/OF and GS/O will address any and allsafety concerns (i.e. , exposure to radiation, organic vapars, asbestos,mercury, or biohazards) . When appropriate, Health Physics (HP) andIndustrial Health and Safety personnel will be present at the pre- jobmeet ing and during the sampling job to addreas and monitor any potentialsafety hazard.

QUALITY ASSUSANCE/OUALIl!Y COWTSOL

Sampling is the physical collection of a representative portion of thewaste. A representative sample must be collected and handled in such away as to preeerve its original physical form and chemical composition,as well as to prevent contamination or changes in the concentration ofthe constituents to be analyzed. Sample integrity must be ensured and

quality assurance 6tandards maintained for a ssmple to be typical of thewaste. QA/QC requirements are guided by the document, “Hanford SamplingQuality Management Plan (HSQMP )“, WHC-SD-WM-PLN-OSS.

The collection, handling, and preparation of ssmples shall comply withthe protocol of “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste,Physical/Chemical Methode, SW-846” . Other documented, verifiabletechniques, such as ASTM methods, may be used when appropriate for thewaete matrix. Composite samples of the waste matrices will be collectedfrom the container. Field screening techniques may be ueed whenappropriate, but should be verified with laboratory confirmation, if notan approved method.

Sampling personnel must adhere to and use appropriate esmplingtechniques, sampling eguipment, precleaned bottles, chain-of -cuetodyprocedures, esmple holding times, preservatives, and complete acontrolled logbook entry to ensure proper guality control of the ssmple.
