ABSTRACT

The Idaho Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) Disposal Facility (ICDF) has been designed to accept CERCLA waste generated within the Idaho National Laboratory. Hazardous, mixed, low-level, and Toxic Substance Control Act waste also will be accepted for disposal at ICDF. The purpose of this document is to provide criteria, including quantities of radioactive and/or hazardous constituents allowable in waste streams designated for disposal at ICDF.

This ICDF Complex Waste Acceptance Criteria is divided into four sections: (1) ICDF Complex; (2) Landfill; (3) Evaporation Pond; and (4) Staging, Storage, Sizing, and Treatment Facility (SSSTF). The ICDF Complex section contains the compliance details, which are the same for all areas of the ICDF. Corresponding sections contain details specific to the landfill, evaporation pond, and the SSSTF.

This document specifies chemical and radiological constituent acceptance criteria for waste that will be disposed of at ICDF. Compliance with the requirements of this document ensures protection of human health and the environment, including the Snake River Plain Aquifer. Waste placed in the ICDF landfill and evaporation pond must not cause groundwater in the Snake River Plain Aquifer to exceed maximum contaminant levels, a hazard index of 1, or 10-4 cumulative risk levels. The defined waste acceptance criteria concentrations were compared to the design inventory concentrations, for the purpose of showing that there is an acceptable uncertainty margin based on the actual constituent concentrations anticipated for disposal at ICDF.

Implementation of this Waste Acceptance Criteria document will ensure compliance with the Final Record of Decision for the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center, Operable Unit 3-13. For waste to be received, it must meet the waste acceptance criteria for the specific disposal/treatment unit (on-Site or off-Site) for which it is destined.

The following definitions explain the technical and scientific terms used within this document.

Analytical residue and sample preservative residue: Aqueous and organic solutions from sample preservatives and analytical residue generated from field preparation and laboratory analyses.

CERCLA-derived remediation and removal waste: Waste from Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) activities that may include but is not limited to soil, water, contaminated personal protective equipment, filters, and other support equipment that cannot be decontaminated.

Certification: Statement from waste generator or designee that confirms the waste on the shipment matches the waste on the profile.

Compressible void space: Space that is compressible through the application of load or settlement over time (e.g., interstitial space in soils or empty space in boxes of soils).

Construction waste: Waste generated during the on-Site construction of environmental remedial action activities.

Contaminated equipment: Contaminated equipment becomes a waste stream if it cannot be properly decontaminated or reused.

Debris: Solid material exceeding a 60-millimeter (mm) (approximately 2.5-in. particle size that is a manufactured object, plant or animal matter, or natural geologic material intended for disposal. However, the following materials are not considered to be debris:

• Any material for which a specific treatment standard is provided in Subpart D of 40 CFR 268, such as lead acid batteries, cadmium batteries, and radioactive lead solids

• Process residuals, such as smelter slag and residues from the treatment of waste, wastewater, sludge, or air emission residues

• Intact containers of hazardous waste that retain at least 75% of their original volume.

A mixture of debris and other material that has not been treated to the standards provided by 40 CFR 268.45 is subject to regulation as debris, if the mixture is composed primarily of debris, by volume, based on visual inspection.

Drill cuttings: Cuttings generated from well installation activities. Perched water and Snake River Plain Aquifer water well installation is expected to generate a substantial volume of drill cuttings.

Facility: An area within the boundaries of a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) -controlled site that is access-controlled to prevent public access (e.g., the Reactor Technology Complex, the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center, and Test Area North).

Fissile: Any material fissionable by thermal (slow) neutrons. The three primary fissile materials are uranium-233, uranium-235, and plutonium-239.

xii

Free liquids: Liquids that can readily separate from the solid portion of a waste under ambient temperature and pressure (DOE O 435.1 Chg 1), as demonstrated by “Environmental Protection Agency Paint Filter Liquids Test Method 9095B” (EPA 2004).

Hazard index: The sum of more than one hazard quotient where the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) goal is a value not to exceed 1.

Hazard quotient: The ratio of a single substance exposure level, over a given time period, to a reference exposure level at which no adverse effects are likely to occur.

Hazardous debris: Debris that contains a hazardous waste listed in Subpart D of 40 CFR 261, or that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste identified in Subpart C of 40 CFR 261.

Hazardous substance: Any material designated as such pursuant to CERCLA, including all Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste types, radionuclides, a variety of other chemical substances, and any material identified as a hazardous substance, such as petroleum, petroleum products, and all hazardous waste types.

Hazardous waste: Waste designated as hazardous by EPA regulations (40 CFR 261.3) and regulated under RCRA.

High-level waste: Highly radioactive waste material. High-level waste results from the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, including the liquid waste produced directly during reprocessing. As per DOE O 435.1 Chg 1, the term refers to any solid material derived from such liquid waste that contains fission products in sufficient concentrations, and to other highly radioactive material that is determined, consistent with existing law, to require permanent isolation. (Adapted from the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended [42 USC § 10101 et seq.].)

Incompressible void space: Percent of voids in waste that is encased in a cement enclosure (e.g., void space within a container that has been filled with concrete or other incompressible material).

Infectious waste: Waste containing living organisms that could endanger human health or the health of domestic animals or wildlife by extending the range of biological pests, viruses, pathogenic microorganisms, or other agents capable of infesting, infecting, or extensively and permanently altering the normal populations of organisms.

Investigation-derived waste: Materials that are generated from CERCLA investigations, such as drill cuttings, purge water, development water, overburden, interstitial and underburden soils, and wastes (such as debris or sludge).

Low-level radioactive waste: Waste that cannot be defined as high-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, transuranic (TRU) waste, by-product material (as defined in Section 11e [2] of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended [42 USC § 2011, et seq.]), or naturally occurring radioactive material (DOE O 435.1 Chg 1).

Miscellaneous waste: Nonrecyclable, unwanted material such as trash, labels, rags, and other debris.

Mixed waste: Waste containing both radioactive components, as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (as amended), and hazardous components, as defined by 40 CFR 262.

xiii

Personal protective equipment: Items worn or used during waste-handling activities such as coveralls, shoe covers, boots, gloves, glove liners, hoods, and duct tape. Coveralls and hoods are generally made of paper or Tyvek.a Gloves are generally latex or nitrile, and glove liners are made of disposable cloth material. Shoe covers and boots are generally rubber.

Purge/development water: Water generated from well development or during sampling that is removed from a well before samples are collected.

Radioactive waste: Solid, liquid, or contained gaseous material that contains radionuclides regulated under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (as amended), which is of negligible economic value considering costs of recovery.

Sample containers: Vessels composed of steel, aluminum, Teflon, brass, or plastic used to contain samples of water, soil, or other media. Once used, these containers become a waste stream if they cannot be decontaminated for reuse.

Secondary waste: A generic category of waste that is generated from support activities (including operation and maintenance activities) related to retrieving, processing, and packaging the investigation-derived materials. Examples of secondary waste include waste associated with routine decontamination activities (excluding facility closure), personal protective equipment, administrative area and support services waste, used equipment and filters, and other similar waste types generated during operation and maintenance activities.

Soil waste: Soils excavated as part of a project that may be contaminated as a result of spill and pipeline leaks or radioactive liquids from plant liquid transfer operations, or soils that exceed risk-based criteria.

Solid waste: Includes soils, debris, contaminated equipment, investigation-derived waste, drill cuttings, personal protective equipment, unused and unaltered sample material, analytical residue and sample preservative residue, sample containers, miscellaneous solid waste (such as trash, labels, or rags), solid secondary waste, and construction waste.

Solidification: A technique that limits the solubility and mobility of hazardous waste constituents through physical means.

Spent nuclear fuel: Fuel that has been withdrawn from a nuclear reactor following irradiation and that has not yet been reprocessed to remove its constituent elements.

Stabilization: A technique that limits the solubility and mobility of hazardous waste constituents by causing the constituents to bond or chemically react with the stabilizing material.

Structural stability: A waste form that will generally maintain its physical dimensions and its form under the expected disposal conditions, such as weight of overburden and compaction equipment, the presence of moisture and microbial activity, and internal factors such as radiation effects and chemical changes. The waste form itself can provide structural stability by processing the waste to a stable form or by placing the waste in a disposal container or structure that provides stability after disposal.

a. References herein to any specific commercial product, process, or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or

otherwise, do not necessarily constitute or imply endorsement, recommendation, favoring, or condemnation by the U.S. Government, any agency thereof, or any company affiliated with the Idaho Cleanup Project.

xiv

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) waste: Waste managed strictly under TSCA regulations (15 USC 2601 et seq.). Presently, only polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and asbestos are regulated by EPA (40 CFR 761 and 40 CFR 763) as TSCA waste.

Transuranic waste: Per DOE O 435.1 Chg 1, radioactive waste containing more than 100 nanocuries (3,700 becquerels) of alpha-emitting transuranic (TRU) isotopes per gram of waste, with half-lives greater than 20 years, except for (1) high-level radioactive waste; (2) waste that the Secretary of Energy has determined, with the concurrence of the administrator of EPA, does not need the degree of isolation required by the 40 CFR 191 disposal regulations; or (3) waste that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved for disposal on a case-by-case basis in accordance with 10 CFR 61. (Source: Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal Act of 1992, as amended [Public Law 102-579].)

Unused and unaltered sample material: Material that may include excess soil cores from the interbeds, underlying basalt, and groundwater.

Verification: The process to determine the waste stream profile representative of the physical waste from a generating waste area group that meets the physical, chemical, and radiological limits of the waste acceptance criteria.

Waste stream: A waste or group of waste types generated from the same process or facility with similar physical, chemical, or radiological properties and with the same disposition pathway.

ICDF Complex Waste Acceptance Criteria 1. INTRODUCTION

The U.S. Department of Energy Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID) authorized a remedial design/remedial action for the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC) in accordance with the Final Record of Decision, Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center, Operable Unit 3-13 (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999]). The Operable Unit (OU) 3-13 Record of Decision (ROD) requires the removal and on-Site disposal of risk-selected Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 USC § 9601 et seq.) remediation waste generated within the boundaries of Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site.

The Idaho CERCLA Disposal Facility (ICDF) is an on-Site, engineered facility located south of INTEC and west of the recently remediated percolation ponds. Designed and authorized to accept not only Waste Area Group (WAG) 3 waste but also waste from other INL CERCLA actions, the ICDF includes the following subsystems and support facilities:

• Two landfill disposal cells comprising a single landfill

• Two evaporation ponds, east and west

• Staging, Storage, Sizing, and Treatment Facility (SSSTF).

The ICDF, including buffer zone, covers approximately 40 acres, with a current landfill disposal capacity of approximately 510,000 yd3. The ICDF landfill meets the substantive requirements of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C, Idaho Hazardous Waste Management Act (42 USC § 6901 et seq.); DOE O 435.1 Chg 1, “Radioactive Waste Management”; and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 USC § 2601 et seq.) polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) landfill design and construction requirements. The ICDF is the sole consolidation point for all CERCLA-generated waste within INL Site boundaries. The landfill is authorized under the OU 3-13 ROD to receive CERCLA-generated waste outside WAG 3 that meets land disposal restriction (LDR) requirements. Placement is triggered by land disposal of waste from outside the area of contamination (AOC) or by treatment of wastes from within the AOC. Placement triggers the requirement to meet LDRs prior to land disposal at ICDF. Waste types include contaminated soil, debris, and CERCLA investigation-derived waste. Soil will be compacted with a dozer and must pass compaction criteria. Debris is normally grouted to reduce void space and prevent future subsidence issues.

The evaporation pond is designated as a Corrective Action Management Unit (CAMU) in the OU 3-13 ROD. CAMU means “an area within a facility that is used only for managing remediation wastes for implementing corrective action or cleanup at the facility.” For purposes of this waste acceptance criteria (WAC), any waste generated outside the AOC must meet the LDRs prior to disposal, unless the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) have approved special-situation liquids on a case-by-case basis. The 95% upper confidence limit should be used to determine whether waste meets LDR standards.

The ICDF was designed to provide receiving, inspection, treatment, and segregation areas necessary to stage and store incoming waste from INL CERCLA activities. These waste types, as well as waste types generated during operation and maintenance of ICDF will be treated and/or disposed of in the ICDF landfill, evaporation pond, or shipped to off-Site facilities. The ICDF is located within the WAG 3 AOC, providing the necessary flexibility to manage, consolidate, and remediate waste without triggering LDRs and other RCRA requirements in accordance with the OU 3-13 ROD (DOE/ID-10660

1-2

[DOE-ID 1999]). Land disposal restrictions apply to solid waste generated outside the WAG 3 AOC and/or to WAG 3 AOC solid waste that has triggered placement. Figure 1-1 illustrates the WAG 3 AOC, and Figure 1-2 shows the ICDF layout.

1.1 Purpose and Objectives The purpose of this WAC is to provide requirements for INL CERCLA-generated waste to be

accepted for receipt, staging, storage, treatment, repackaging, and disposal within the ICDF; or off-Site disposal. Objectives of the ICDF Complex WAC are as follows:

• Waste dispositioned within the ICDF Complex will not exceed allowable limits for the protection of the Snake River Plain Aquifer in accordance with the OU 3-13 ROD (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999])

• All commitments delineated in the OU 3-13 ROD are satisfied

• Waste received at the ICDF contains only those radionuclides and/or hazardous constituents that the facility can safely manage

• Chemical concentrations and radionuclide activities of the waste received at the ICDF are compatible with ICDF authorization basis documentation

• Waste received for treatment in the SSSTF can be treated by existing approved processes

• Waste received at the ICDF is in a form or container that will maintain its integrity and retain acceptable configuration under the conditions expected to be encountered during ICDF operations and closure

• Waste received at the ICDF contains no constituents or materials that will compromise the safety or integrity of the facility and the liner system under expected operating conditions.

1.2 Scope

The ICDF, including the SSSTF, was designed to DOE O 435.1 Chg 1, RCRA Subtitle C minimum technology requirements, and to applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs) as outlined in the OU 3-13 ROD. The ICDF is only authorized to accept waste generated from INL CERCLA removal/remedial and investigative activities and other agency-approved actions, such as an engineering evaluation/cost analysis or special performance assessment.

1.3 Roadmap to ICDF Complex Waste Acceptance Criteria

Four general sections in this WAC detail the requirements for acceptance and disposal. These sections are briefly described below:

1. ICDF Complex—Sections 1 through 4 specify the overall minimum requirements for waste to be accepted. Included are the requirements for receiving, storage, and staging.

2. ICDF Landfill—Section 5 specifies the requirements for waste to be disposed of in the ICDF landfill.

3. ICDF Evaporation Pond—Section 6 specifies the requirements for waste to be disposed of in the ICDF evaporation pond.

4. SSSTF—Section 7 specifies the requirements for waste to be treated in the SSSTF.

1-5

Management of waste associated with routine ICDF operation and maintenance (such as decontamination water and stabilization debris) is described in the ICDF Complex Operations Waste Management Plan (DOE/ID-10886 [DOE-ID 2006]).

1.4 Responsibilities

1.4.1 ICDF Personnel Responsibilities

Personnel assigned to ICDF management and oversight are responsible for:

• Establishing and maintaining all ICDF authorization basis documentation (e.g., HAD-136, “Idaho CERCLA Disposal Facility [ICDF] Hazard Categorization”)

• Evaluating new constituents and/or waste forms for inclusion into this document, and for compliance to all environmental regulations as specified by the WAG 3 OU 3-13 ROD (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999])

• Reviewing and approving waste stream profiles and interfacing with ICDF users throughout the waste acceptance process

• Scheduling waste shipments with ICDF users

• Inputting and tracking waste destined for treatment at the SSSTF, disposal at the landfill or evaporation pond, and/or temporary holding at one of the designated staging or storage locations

• Maintaining electronic disposal maps

• Notify Nuclear Safety to update EDF-7984 if radionuclides changed.

• Implementing ARARs identified in the ROD.

1.4.2 ICDF User Responsibilities

ICDF users are responsible for:

• Complying with ICDF WAC and ICDF Complex Remedial Action Work Plan (DOE/ID-10984 [DOE-ID 2012a]) requirements.

• Identifying waste stream constituents far enough in advance for modeling and inclusion in the ICDF WAC. The modeling and approval for adding constituents is a process that generally requires approximately 3 months to accomplish.

• Obtaining approval from ICDF prior to scheduling and shipping waste to ICDF.

• Obtaining and/or confirming regulatory authority for disposal of waste at the ICDF.

• Participating in routine planning meetings and submitting long-term project schedules to ICDF.

• Developing, executing, and documenting statistically based sampling and analysis plans for waste stream profile characterization in accordance with the ICDF Complex Waste Profile and Verification Sample Guidance (DOE/NE-ID-11175 [DOE-ID 2012b]).

• Thoroughly, accurately, completely, and defensibly characterizing waste streams to ensure the types and quantities of radionuclides, hazardous constituents, and physical and chemical characteristics (such as corrosive or reactive) are documented.

1-6

• Evaluating treatment alternatives for waste streams when applicable or when determined to be necessary by Radioactive Waste Management Complex cleanup management.

• Following the waste profiling process and preparing waste stream profiles that include other required documentation (e.g., analytical Form 1s, chain-of-custody forms, and engineering design files [EDFs]).

• Designating waste disposition and obtaining ICDF approval for each waste stream profile.

• Preparing user interface agreements that outline roles and responsibilities.

2-1

2. ICDF WASTE STREAM PROFILE PROCESS

2.1 General Requirements

Waste characterization and waste stream profiles are discussed in ICDF Complex Waste Profile and Verification Sample Guidance (DOE/NE-ID-11175 [DOE-ID 2012b]).

2.2 General Classes of Waste

All waste to be shipped to the ICDF will be generated from CERCLA remediation, removal, and/or investigation activities within the INL boundaries as delineated in the OU 3-13 ROD (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999]), or will have EPA, DEQ, and DOE approval prior to shipment. Upon meeting WAC and Remedial Action Work Plan (DOE/ID-10984 [DOE-ID 2012a]) requirements, the waste types or combination of waste types presented in Table 2-1 can be routinely accepted at the ICDF (refer to the content definition for each waste type).

Table 2-1. Routinely acceptable waste types at the ICDF Complex. Waste Type Accepted at the ICDF Complex Content Definition

ICDF leachate (F039 waste) All ICDF-generated leachate is acceptable for disposition in the evaporation pond.

INL CERCLA-generated aqueous hazardous, low-level radioactive, and/or mixed waste (other than ICDF leachate)

Aqueous hazardous, low-level radioactive, and/or mixed waste can be accepted at ICDF if the waste meets the ICDF WAC. Waste not meeting the ICDF WAC can be treated to meet the WAC; otherwise, staging, storage, and/or alternative off-Site disposal are required.

Nonhazardous/nonradioactive solid waste (i.e., industrial waste) (not normally accepted at ICDF)

Waste must be certified to contain no hazardous or radioactive components. Additionally, the generating site must provide written justification to the ICDF stating why the waste is not a candidate for disposition at the CFA bulky waste landfill or other designated on-Site industrial waste landfill.

INL CERCLA-generated solid hazardous, low-level radioactive, and/or mixed waste

Solid listed and/or characteristic hazardous waste can be accepted at the ICDF if the waste meets the ICDF WAC; otherwise, staging, storage, treatment, and/or alternate off-Site disposal is required.

TSCA waste (including mixed TSCA waste)

TSCA and mixed TSCA waste can be accepted at the ICDF if the waste meets the ICDF WAC; otherwise, staging, storage, treatment, and/or alternate off-Site disposal is required.

INL CERCLA-generated TRU and mixed-TRU waste

TRU and mixed-TRU waste can be temporarily stored, treated, and/or packaged at the ICDF pending final determination for off-Site disposal.

Petroleum-contaminated soil Petroleum-contaminated soil that is CERCLA-generated and cannot be sent to the CFA may be sent to the ICDF if the soil meets the ICDF WAC. The generating site must provide justification to ICDF stating why the soil cannot be accepted for disposal at the CFA bulky waste landfill or other designated on-Site industrial waste landfill.

2.3 Waste Requiring Special Consideration

A generating project that has identified a waste stream requiring special handling and disposal processes must prepare an interface agreement addressing all pertinent information (e.g., waste description, packaging and transportation requirements, special handling requirements, special disposal requirements, responsibilities, scheduling, pricing/funding, and resolution of disputes) when required by the Waste Management project. This interface agreement must be submitted to ICDF for review and approval in advance of formal waste stream approval.

ICDF personnel will review the interface agreement to determine if (a) the interface agreement affects compliance with any regulations; and (b) the interface agreement affects compliance with any DOE-ID and/or regulatory agency-approved requirement documents. This review identifies whether INL management, DOE-ID, and/or the regulatory agencies must be contacted to discuss the waste stream. Upon completion of the review, ICDF will either approve the interface agreement or set up a meeting with the generator to review why the interface agreement was denied and what additional information or clarification is needed.

3. WASTE ACCEPTANCE PROCESS

The waste acceptance process is discussed in ICDF Complex Waste Profile and Verification Sample Guidance (DOE/NE-ID-11175 [DOE-ID 2012b]) for shipping waste to the ICDF. ICDF users shall provide project schedules to the ICDF for use as a planning tool. Failure to provide the ICDF with project schedules or failure to participate in routine planning discussions may result in waste acceptance process delays. Table 3-1 lists major planning steps required for shipping waste to the ICDF Complex.

Table 3-1. Schedule for CERCLA project and ICDF interaction.

Information Information Due Date to

ICDF Complex Management

CERCLA project name As soon as available.

Anticipated waste type As soon as available.

CERCLA project schedule for waste generation

As soon as available.

Waste stream profile with associated characterization data (e.g., analytical Form 1s, chain-of-custody forms, and EDFs).

Optimally, the generator should allow ICDF 3 months for review and approval of the waste stream profile; however, extenuating circumstances (e.g., budget issues, company milestones, waste stream size, and complexity) may require or allow an accelerated review and approval. In this eventuality, 1 month will be required to review and approve a waste stream profile.

Formal waste stream approval granted One month prior to expected/anticipated ship date.

Shipping schedule (number of trucks/containers per day) and days of shipment

Optimally, the generator should allow ICDF 1 month to make necessary arrangements for shipment; however, extenuating circumstances (e.g., budget issues, company milestones, waste stream size, and complexity) may require or allow an accelerated shipping schedule. In this eventuality, 2 weeks will be required to make the necessary shipping arrangements prior to receipt of the first actual shipment.

4. GENERAL WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR ICDF

4.1 Prohibited Waste

Waste types not accepted at the ICDF are summarized in Table 4-1 below.

Table 4-1. Summary of waste types not accepted at ICDF.

Waste Type Comment

High-level waste Highly radioactive waste material, including the liquid waste, resulting from the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel.

Spent nuclear fuel Fuel that has been withdrawn from a nuclear reactor following irradiation and has not yet been reprocessed to remove its constituent elements.

Waste capable of detonation or explosive reactivity

Waste capable of detonation or explosive reaction when subjected to a strong initiating source, or if heated under confinement.

TRU waste (100 nCi/g)

Waste containing >10 nCi/g of TRU radionuclides is prohibited for disposal at ICDF.

Etiologic agents Waste containing pathogens, infectious waste, or other etiologic agents as defined in 49 CFR shall not be accepted.

ICDF Idaho CERCLA Disposal Facility TRU transuranic

DOE O 435.1 Chg 1, “Radioactive Waste Management,” defines transuranic (TRU) waste as radioactive waste containing more than 100 nCi/g (3,700 becquerels) of alpha-emitting TRU isotopes per gram of waste with half-lives greater than 20 years, including: Np-237, Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-240, Pu-242, Pu-244, Am-241, Am-243, Cm-243, Cm-245, Cm-246, Cm-247, Cm-248, Cm-250, Bk-247, Cf-249, and Cf-251. These isotopes may be present in unequal amounts.

4.2 Physical and Chemical Criteria

4.2.1 Physical Criteria

Waste being accepted into ICDF must have an identified disposition pathway and must meet physical criteria for the unit (such as landfill, evaporation pond, SSSTF). Or if destined for off-Site disposal, the waste must have documentation (such as an EDF or waste stream profile) demonstrating that it meets the WAC of the off-Site receiving facility. If waste is to be staged, stored, or treated in the SSSTF, it must be appropriately packaged to ensure containment during the anticipated storage period.

4.2.2 Chemical Criteria

The chemical criteria are specific to each ICDF unit (e.g., landfill and evaporation pond). If the chemical criteria for the individual ICDF unit are met, the waste stream may be accepted at ICDF. If the waste stream is expected to be shipped off-Site and has been accepted at ICDF for repackaging, it must have documentation (such as an EDF or waste stream profile) demonstrating that it meets the WAC of the intended off-Site facility.

4-2

4.3 Radiological Criteria

4.3.1 Radionuclide Concentration Limits

The ICDF Complex WAC for radioactive material is based on a combination of the total allowable inventory of radionuclides that may impact the environment and the protection of worker health and safety. Radionuclides should be evaluated based upon current characterization. Parent/daughters in equilibrium need not be reported separately unless specifically identified below by isotope.

4.3.1.1 Identification of Major Radionuclides. For the purposes of the radiological criteria to be used with the Waste Profiling and Verification Guidance, major radionuclides are defined as those radionuclides that meet any of the following conditions:

• Any TRU radionuclides present in the nonaqueous waste in a concentration exceeding 1 nCi/g

• Any TRU radionuclides present in the aqueous waste in a concentration exceeding 1 nCi/mL

• Any radionuclide that accounts for more than 1% of the total radiological activity of the waste

• Any fissionable radionuclide present in the waste in a quantity exceeding 0.1 fissile gram equivalent (Pu-239 based) present per container

• Any mobile radionuclide listed in Table 4-2 present in a concentration exceeding 0.1 pCi/g.

Table 4-2. Mobile radionuclides.

C-14 I-129 Tc-99

Cl-36 H-3

4.3.2 Additional Detail Regarding Mobile Radionuclide Characterization

For low-level waste and low-level mixed waste, mobile radionuclide reporting is necessary for compliance with the ICDF Complex performance assessment. Because of the low reporting limits and analysis difficulty of certain mobile radionuclides, this section provides additional detail concerning acceptable knowledge and characterization.

The concentrations of each mobile radionuclide must be established with the appropriate reporting limit using process knowledge and/or analysis or other available information. Table 4-2 is a list of mobile radionuclides. If process knowledge alone is used to determine that a mobile radionuclide is not present in a waste stream, the basis for this determination must be clearly documented. If available analysis techniques cannot detect a mobile radionuclide at 0.1 pCi/g, then the concentration may be estimated using a combination of process knowledge, scaling factors, and analytical detection limits.

The radiological inventory limits are maintained to stay within the ICDF facility safety envelope and authorization basis, namely HAD-136. These are set from an overall risk of the facility standpoint.

At the present time, there are no waste types identified for disposal that might approach criticality limits. Fissile materials are present in the waste material as indicated in Table 1 of HAD-136; however, the distribution and concentration of the fissile material is such that a criticality scenario is not credible. The material consists of widely dispersed, low-level contamination attached to inert material (e.g., contaminated soil and surface contamination), and there are no processes within the ICDF Complex that could concentrate the fissile material (PRD-112).

4-3

Removable contamination on accessible surfaces of waste packages shall not exceed those listed in Table 4-3 (excerpted from PRD-183, “Radiological Control Manual”).

Containers shall be in good condition with no visible cracks, holes, bulges, substantial corrosion, or other damage that could compromise integrity.

In addition, the following conditions must be met:

• All packaging must be compatible with the waste stored inside them

• Incompatible waste types may not be placed within the same container

• Waste must not be placed in an unwashed container that previously held an incompatible waste

• A package containing a waste type that is incompatible with another nearby waste must be separated by proper means (e.g., adequate distance to prevent mixing or reaction)

• All waste shall be packaged in a form that minimizes landfill settling and subsidence to the maximum extent feasible. The following forms of waste will be considered to meet these criteria:

Inherently stable waste that will not subside in the disposal environment.

Waste stabilized by grouting or packaging.

Containerized soil, soil-like solids, and absorbed liquids that fill at least 95% of the volume of the container. In other containerized waste that fills at least 95% of the internal volume of the container, void space should be kept to a minimum.

Any void fillers must be selected and used in accordance with ICDF WAC requirements.

All containers used for waste storage must be properly labeled before shipment to the ICDF. Each generating project will ensure that each container is properly marked and labeled.

The marking on the containers must be clearly visible for inspection, and container labels must be placed where they are clearly visible during shipment. Containers of waste shall not be opened, handled, or stored in a manner that will cause leakage (40 CFR 264.173[b], “Management of Containers,” and Idaho Administrative Procedures Act [IDAPA] 58.01.05.009, “Interim Status Standards for Owners and Operators of Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities”).

4.4.4.1 Radioactive Waste. As required by PRD-183, “Radiological Control Manual,” radiation labels will be completed and placed on the container by a radiological control technician.

4-7

4.4.4.2 CERCLA Waste. All CERCLA remediation waste entering the ICDF will be labeled with a “CERCLA Waste” label that includes an accumulation start date, waste description, applicable codes, and the generating site’s name. Figure 4-1 provides an example of a standard label.

Figure 4-1. Example of a standard CERCLA waste label.

4.4.4.3 TSCA Waste. Each PCB item or container entering the ICDF must be appropriately labeled with a PCB ML or MS mark (see example shown in Figure 4-2). In addition, each waste container containing PCBs must be marked with the out-of-service date and weight in kilograms.

Figure 4-2. Example of a standard PCB waste label.

4.4.4.4 Asbestos-Containing Material. Asbestos-containing material will be labeled per the INL Asbestos Program.

4.4.4.5 Barcodes. Waste shipments entering the ICDF will have a corresponding Waste Tracking System Barcode (see example shown in Figure 4-3). This barcode refers to the associated shipment in the Waste Tracking System. A barcode label is applied to individual shipments, and will normally appear on the waste tracking form.

Figure 4-3. Example of a Waste Tracking System barcode.

4.4.5 Vehicle Placarding

Vehicles destined for ICDF that are transporting hazardous material will be placarded as required by DOT in 49 CFR 172 and 49 CFR 173 and in accordance with 49 CFR 172.500 through 172.560 (as invoked by DOE O 435.1 Chg 1).

4.4.6 Bulk (Noncontainerized) Waste

Bulk waste types are exempt from labeling requirements at the ICDF landfill, except where shipments are transported on public highways.

4.4.7 Radiological Dose Limits

The radiological dose rate limit for waste shipments and containers entering the ICDF is <500 mR/hour at 1 m. Shipments with external dose rates exceeding 500 mR/hour at 1 m require special consideration and coordination with ICDF.

5-1

5. WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR THE ICDF LANDFILL

5.1 Waste with >10 nCi/g Transuranic Constituents

Waste containing >10 nCi/g of TRU radionuclides is prohibited from disposal at the ICDF landfill in accordance with the OU 3-13 ROD (Appendix A, “Operable Unit 3-13 Responsiveness Summary, Public Comments and Responses on the OU 3-13 Proposed Plan,” responses to comment numbers 28, 226, and 230) (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999]).

5.2 Toxic Substances Control Act Waste Containing >500 ppm Polychlorinated Biphenyls

Soil waste containing >500 ppm of PCBs is prohibited from disposal at the ICDF landfill; however, bulk product and remediation waste PCB concentrations are not limited. At this time, no soil waste >500 ppm of PCBs is expected based on the inventory described in EDF-ER-264, “INEEL CERCLA Disposal Facility Design Inventory.” Waste containing PCBs—that meet the standards under 40 CFR 761.50 (b)(7) for disposal in the ICDF—will be accepted.

Polychlorinated biphenyl bulk product waste is derived from manufactured products containing PCBs in a nonliquid state at any concentration where the concentration at the time of designation for disposal was ≥50 ppm PCBs. Polychlorinated biphenyl bulk product waste does not include PCBs or PCB items regulated for disposal under 40 CFR 761.60(a), “PCB Liquids”; 40 CFR 761.60(b), “PCB Articles”; 40 CFR 761(c), “PCB Containers”; 40 CFR 761.61, “PCB Remediation Waste”; 40 CFR 761.63, “PCB Household Waste Storage and Disposal”; or 40 CFR 761.64, “Disposal of Wastes Generated as a Result of Research and Development Activities Authorized Under § 761.30(j) and Chemical Analysis of PCBs.” Polychlorinated biphenyl bulk product waste includes but is not limited to the following:

• Nonliquid bulk waste or debris from the demolition of buildings and other man-made structures manufactured, coated, or serviced with PCBs. Polychlorinated biphenyl bulk product waste does not include debris from the demolition of buildings or other man-made structures that are contaminated by spills from regulated PCBs that have not been disposed of, decontaminated, or otherwise cleaned up in accordance with 40 CFR 761.62, “Disposal of PCB Bulk Product Waste.”

• PCB-containing waste from the shredding of automobiles, household appliances, or industrial appliances.

• Plastics (e.g., plastic insulation from wire or cable, radio, television and computer casings, vehicle parts, or furniture laminates); preformed or molded rubber parts and components; applied dried paints, varnishes, waxes or other similar coatings or sealants; caulking; adhesives; paper; Galbestos; sound-deadening or other types of insulation; and felt or fabric products such as gaskets.

• Fluorescent light ballasts containing PCBs in the potting material.

Polychlorinated biphenyl remediation waste, including PCB sewage sludge, is regulated for cleanup and disposal in accordance with 40 CFR 761.61. PCB remediation waste contains PCBs as a result of a spill, release, or other unauthorized disposal at the following concentrations:

1. Materials disposed of before April 18, 1978, that are currently at concentrations ≥50 ppm PCBs regardless of the concentration of the original spill

5-2

2. Materials that are currently at any volume or concentration where the original source was ≥500 ppm PCBs beginning on April 18, 1978, or ≥50 ppm PCBs beginning on July 2, 1979

3. Materials that are currently at any concentration if the PCBs are spilled or released from a source not authorized for use under 40 CFR 761.61.

Polychlorinated biphenyl remediation waste is soil, rags, and other debris generated as a result of any PCB spill cleanup, including, but not limited to:

• Environmental media containing PCBs (e.g., soil and gravel), dredged materials (e.g., sediments, settled sediment fines, and aqueous decantate from sediment)

• Sewage sludge containing <50 ppm PCBs and not in use according to 40 CFR 761.20(a)(4); PCB sewage sludge; commercial or industrial sludge contaminated as the result of a PCB spill, including sludge located in or removed from any pollution control device; and aqueous decantate from an industrial sludge

• Buildings and other man-made structures (e.g., concrete floors, wood floors, or walls contaminated from a leaking PCB or PCB-contaminated transformer), porous surfaces, and nonporous surfaces.

5.3 Free Liquids

Waste containing free liquids is prohibited from disposal at the ICDF landfill, unless liquids have been stabilized. Free liquid determination is defined by EPA Method 9095B, “Paint Filter Liquids Test” (EPA 2004). For liquid-containing waste where condensate could form in inner plastic packaging (e.g., bags) subsequent to packaging, condensate shall be eliminated to the maximum extent practical by placing adsorbents within the inner plastic packaging. The amount of liquid may not exceed 1% of the waste volume.

Residual liquids in large debris items shall be adsorbed or removed. When removing suspected liquids is not practical, and sampling to determine if liquids are present is impossible, the liquids shall be removed to the maximum extent possible by draining suspected liquids at low points and placing an adequate amount of adsorbent around each item. The amount of liquid may not exceed 1% of the waste volume. Adsorbent materials should be in a form that will not create a dust hazard at the receipt facility during unloading operations.

5.4 Waste Capable of Detonation, Explosive Decomposition, or Reaction

Waste types capable of detonation or explosive decomposition are prohibited from disposal at the ICDF landfill. This includes ordnance and explosive materials that could be encountered during waste excavation. Generally, process knowledge will be used to make the determination whether a waste is or is not capable of detonation or explosive decomposition, based on unexploded observable ordnance.

5.5 Waste Capable of Generating Toxic Gases, Vapors, or Fumes

Waste capable of generating toxic gases, vapors, or fumes harmful to persons transporting, handling, and disposing of the waste (DOE M 435.1-1 Chg 2, “Radioactive Waste Management Manual”) is prohibited from disposal at the ICDF landfill.

5-3

5.6 Gaseous Waste

Waste containers that previously held gaseous waste types are prohibited from disposal at the ICDF landfill unless they are empty and flattened.

5.7 Waste Containing Greater than 1% Chelating Compounds by Weight

Waste containing >1% chelating compounds by weight is prohibited from disposal at the ICDF landfill. Chelating compounds can mobilize constituents, causing the remedial action objectives (RAOs) to be exceeded. Examples of chelating compounds are glycinate, salicylate, chelidamic acid, and phthalic acid. Organic liquids and chelating compounds exceeding 1% of the waste by weight must be solidified or stabilized to a form that immobilizes organic and chelating compounds.

5.8 Hazardous Waste

WAG 3 AOC hazardous waste types that are not subject to RCRA LDRs (e.g., have not triggered placement) are acceptable for direct disposal in the ICDF landfill, provided they meet ICDF WAC.

Hazardous waste generated outside the WAG 3 AOC, or WAG 3 AOC hazardous waste that has triggered placement, is prohibited from disposal at the ICDF landfill unless and until it meets RCRA LDRs of 40 CFR 268, 40 CFR 268.45, or 40 CFR 268.49.

5.8.1 Waste Outside WAG 3 Area of Contamination (AOC), and WAG 3 AOC Waste that has Triggered Placement

Waste generated outside the WAG 3 AOC, or WAG 3 AOC waste that has triggered placement, must comply with RCRA LDRs.

There are no ARAR-based limitations on RCRA-regulated constituents in the waste generated inside the AOC; LDRs simply do not apply. However, WAC risk-based concentration and mass limits do apply.

5.9 Asbestos-containing Waste

Asbestos-containing waste should be sent to the Central Facilities Area (CFA) bulk landfill unless the radionuclide content prevents disposal. If the asbestos-containing waste exceeds CFA radionuclide limits, it shall be packaged in accordance with 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, “National Emission Standard for Asbestos.” Wetting with water is allowed as long as it does not exceed applicable free liquid requirements. Asbestos-containing waste will be disposed of in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations.

5.10 Physical Limits

Physical requirements may influence the disposal of certain waste types to the ICDF landfill, even when the waste satisfies other ICDF WAC. Physical waste characteristics such as weight, volume, dimensions, or length might require adjustment before the waste is accepted for disposal. Table 5-1 identifies the physical limits and restrictions that must be met before the waste types will be considered for disposal at the ICDF landfill.

5-4

Table 5-1. Physical limits for ICDF landfill proposed waste.

Waste Type Limits and Restrictions

Steel boxes Steel boxes are assumed to be completely filled and therefore incompressible. Steel boxes with greater than 5% void space will require grouting.

Concrete debris Concrete may be sent to the ICDF as follows: • Reduced to rubble with a maximum dimension of approximately 1 ft. It is preferred

that this rubble be mixed with other waste soil so that it can be handled as soil at the ICDF.

Large blocks or slabs may be shipped under the following criteria: • Containerized:

- It must not exceed the gross weight limit for the container. - It must not extend above the sidewalls of the container. - It shall not exceed 20 ft in length unless specifically approved by ICDF

operations, and it must be loaded toward the rear of the box.

• Noncontainerized: - It shall not exceed 20 ft in length unless specifically approved by ICDF

operations. - If greater than 8 ft in any dimension, or if large rubble is provided, consideration

shall be given to grouting in place to ensure that compaction is achieved. - All rebar must be cut as close as practical to the surface of slabs and rubble.

Steel plate Steel plate shall not exceed 4 ft in width or 8 ft in length unless specifically approved by ICDF operations. To minimize voids, steel plate shall not be bent or folded.

Rebar Rebar should be cut to lengths of approximately 8 ft or less and mixed with soil to the extent practical. Rebar pieces where soil is not common can be placed in bulk roll-on/roll-off containers with other hard debris.

ICDF Idaho CERCLA Disposal Facility

5.11 Radiological Criteria

Radiological inventory limits for the landfill are maintained to stay within ICDF safety envelope and authorization basis. These inventory limits are to be less than a Hazard Category 3 Nuclear Facility.

The ROD (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999]) and DOE O 435.1 Chg 1 invoke regulatory limits on radionuclide activity that can be disposed of at the ICDF landfill, as discussed below.

Because the ROD restriction is based on TRU isotopes, the 10 nCi/g for the WAC was calculated as follows: the alpha-emitting TRU isotopes with half-lives greater than 20 years are Np-237, Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-240, Pu-242, Pu-244, Am-241, Am-243, Cm-243, Cm-245, Cm-246, Cm-247, Cm-248, Cm-250, Bk-247, Cf-249, and Cf-251. These isotopes may be present in unequal amounts; the sum of all TRU isotopes must not exceed 10 nCi/g for the entire waste stream.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) performance-based disposal requirement (10 CFR 61, “Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste”) is used in support of DOE O 435.1 Chg 1. Any waste greater than the Class C criterion established for NRC waste is unacceptable for disposal at ICDF, unless the waste is evaluated for potential disposal with a special analysis. The purpose of the special analysis is to conduct the modeling and calculations necessary to ensure there is no

5-5

unacceptable risk for waste disposed of at ICDF. Concurrence with the special analysis from the EPA and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is necessary prior to acceptance of such waste at ICDF. No increase will be allowed in the less-than-10-nCi/g limit on TRU isotopes as a result of the special analysis. Class C is a solid waste classification. Waste that is greater than Class C and is found to be unacceptable (exceeds RAOs) or is determined through the special analysis process to present unacceptable risk to human health or the environment or both will not be approved for disposal. Temporary storage pending shipment to final disposal locations may be allowed.

The DOE performance assessment-based disposal requirements (Performance Assessment for the Idaho CERCLA Disposal Facility Landfill [DOE-ID 2011]) also are used in support of DOE O 435.1 Chg 1. The disposal requirements are composed of generally applicable radionuclide concentration thresholds for waste packages to be disposed of in the landfill and ICDF total inventory thresholds for each of the disposed radionuclides. The thresholds are as follows:

• The waste concentration thresholds are the maximum concentrations of individual radionuclides within a waste container that lead to a dose that is equivalent to the performance measure for an inadvertent intrusion scenario

• The total inventory thresholds are the maximum total activity for each radionuclide in the entire ICDF that would lead to a groundwater dose or concentration that is equivalent to the performance measure for the groundwater scenario.

These thresholds have been incorporated into the ICDF waste acceptance procedures. Any waste containing constituents greater than the criterion established in the ICDF performance assessment is unacceptable for disposal at the ICDF unless the waste is evaluated for potential disposal with a special analysis. The purpose of the special analysis is to conduct the modeling and calculations necessary to ensure that after disposal, the ICDF landfill will continue to meet the DOE O 435.1 Chg 1 performance measures for near-land-surface, low-level waste disposal. Concurrence with the special analysis from DOE-ID is necessary prior to acceptance of such waste at ICDF.

5.12 Chemical and Radiological Waste Acceptance Criteria for the ICDF Landfill

Chemical and radiological WAC limits for the disposal of waste to the ICDF Landfill are shown in Appendix A, Table A-1. For expected disposals to the ICDF Landfill, limits for all chemical constituents and radionuclides are believed to have been identified and are listed in Table A-1. If a new radionuclide or chemical constituent (not currently in Table A-1) occurs in a waste stream, limits will be developed as appropriate. The incorporation of new ICDF Landfill radionuclide or chemical constituents into Table A-1 is discussed in Sections 5.12.1 and 5.12.2.

5.12.1 New Chemical Constituents for Disposal to the Landfill

A new chemical constituent (i.e., not currently identified in Table A-1) will be added to the ICDF Landfill WAC in Table A-1 if it is a hazardous constituent listed by EPA in either Appendix VIII of 40 CFR 261 or Appendix IX of 40 CFR 264 and the constituent exceeds the minimum inventory threshold. The chemical constituent will be added to Table A-1 prior to disposal in the ICDF Landfill. Chemical constituents not identified as hazardous constituents by the EPA or that are less than minimum inventory threshold per waste stream are acceptable for disposal at the ICDF Landfill without those constituents being added to the ICDF WAC.

5-6

The minimum inventory threshold is 1 g for organics and 1 kg for inorganics per waste stream. The minimum inventory threshold for a chemical constituent listed as hazardous by the EPA represents only a small fraction relative to the current WAC limits in Table A-1. The minimum inventory threshold of 1 g for the organic chemicals is less than 0.1% of the smallest maximum inventory limit for organic chemicals (2,3,7,8 TCDD, with a limit of 3.1 kg). The minimum inventory threshold of 1 kg for the inorganic chemicals is less than 0.1% of the smallest maximum inventory limit for inorganic chemicals (thallium, with a limit of 3,300 kg).

5.12.2 New Radionuclides for Disposal to the Landfill

ICDF Landfill radionuclide limits not listed in Table A-1 will be added to the table if a significant concentration or activity of that radionuclide is found in a future landfill waste disposal and if the radionuclide is not excluded as a potential risk to the aquifer as defined in Sections 5.12.2.1 and 5.12.2.2.

5.12.2.1 Radionuclide Half-Life. New radionuclides, regardless of concentration or activity, with a decay half-lives of less than 5 years will not be listed in Table A-1 as they will not contribute risk to the aquifer because: (a) Their activity will decay by a factor of a million in 100 years and a trillion in 200 years and (b) travel times to the aquifer for infiltrating water are in the thousands of years. Therefore, for the ICDF Landfill, radionuclides with radioactive decay half-lives of less than 5 years have no disposal limit and there is no need to add these radionuclide landfill limits to Table A-1 for the ICDF Landfill. If radionuclides with half-lives less than 5 years are included in Table A-1 for the ICDF Evaporation Ponds in accordance with Section 6, then the limit for the ICDF Landfill shall be specified as “No Limit.”

5.12.2.2 Radionuclide Concentration in the Waste. The minimum limiting concentration and activity from Table A-1, based on risk, are 3,100 pCi/kg and 2.4 Ci for I-129. I-129 presents the largest groundwater risk due to its mobility and long half-life and, thus, has the lowest limits for acceptability in the ICDF Landfill. (Table A-1 has lower limits based on the design inventory but not on risk potential, such as Am-243. Those limits will remain as currently stated.) Radionuclides other than those already addressed in Table A-1 are unlikely to be generated in significant concentrations or activities. Therefore, generic conservative landfill WAC limits are established for radionuclides not addressed in Table A-1, based on the lowest risk-based limit currently in Table A-1. These generic limits are established at least two orders of magnitude less than the lowest risk-based limit for actinides and at least one order of magnitude less for all other radionuclides with half-lives greater than 5 years. Therefore, for radionuclides without landfill limits listed in Table A-1 and radioactive decay half-lives greater than 5 years, generic concentrations and activity limits are defined as 10 pCi/kg and 0.01 Ci for actinides and 100 pCi/kg and 0.1 Ci for all other radionuclides. If these limits are exceeded, then the radionuclide limits must be further evaluated and added to Table A-1 prior to the waste being accepted for disposal at the ICDF Landfill.

6-1

6. WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR ICDF EVAPORATION POND

The ICDF evaporation pond will accept CERCLA liquid waste generated within INL. Hazardous, mixed, and low-level liquid waste is acceptable for disposal in the ICDF evaporation ponds. This WAC section provides the basis for quantities of constituents (e.g., radioactive, hazardous) allowed in waste designated for disposal in the ICDF evaporation ponds.

The ICDF evaporation pond is designated as a CAMU in accordance with the substantive requirements of IDAPA 58.01.05.008, “Standards for Owners and Operators of Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities” (40 CFR 264.552, “Corrective Action Management Units [CAMUs]”). The evaporation pond is designed to meet 40 CFR 264 Subpart K and CC, “Surface Impoundments,” and “Air Admission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundments, and Containers,” respectively, for the purposes of managing ICDF landfill leachate, aqueous waste generated from routine ICDF operations (e.g., waste processing and decontamination activities in the SSSTF), and INL well purge and development water (OU 3-13 ROD [DOE/ID-10660 (DOE-ID 1999)]).

The evaporation pond WAC provides the regulatory citations used in development of acceptable constituent and numerical concentration criteria for aqueous waste. Compliance with these requirements ensures protection of human health and the environment. Development of numerical chemical and radiological criteria for the landfill included calculations to determine predicted concentrations in landfill leachate that are protective of the evaporation pond liner system, human health, and potential ecological receptors.

6.1 Scope

The WAG 3 AOC is shown in Figure 1-1. Aqueous waste types (e.g., groundwater well development, purging, sampling, and decontamination water) that are primarily mixed low-level waste generated from activities in support of INL CERCLA remedial actions, are acceptable for disposal in the ICDF evaporation ponds. Activities that meet the definition of “support” are those activities identified or otherwise listed in a primary or secondary document or in another CERCLA authorized action, as defined in the Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order for the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (DOE-ID 1991). This may include activities that support both CERCLA and other appropriate regulatory activities such as RCRA, Clean Water Act (CWA) (26 USC § 1251 et seq.), or Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (42 USC § 300f to 300j-26) activities.

ICDF users must seek and obtain approval from ICDF prior to shipment. Aqueous waste types that meet evaporation pond WAC and are routinely accepted include:

• ICDF landfill leachate

• ICDF operations-generated aqueous waste

• Aqueous waste from SSSTF waste processing and decontamination activities

• Aqueous waste (e.g., groundwater well development, purging, sampling, and decontamination water), primarily mixed low-level waste generated from activities supporting INL CERCLA remedial actions. Activities that meet the definition of “support” are identified or otherwise listed in a primary or secondary document, or in another CERCLA authorized action as defined in the Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order (FFA/CO) (DOE-ID 1991). This may include activities that support both CERCLA and non-CERCLA objectives.

6-2

6.2 CAMU Designation and Land Disposal Restrictions

The OU 3-13 ROD (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999]) designates the ICDF evaporation pond as a CAMU for the purpose of receiving leachate from the landfill. Leachate is an FO39 waste. A CAMU is defined as “an area within a facility that is used only for managing remediation wastes for implementing corrective action or cleanup at the facility” (40 CFR 260.10, “Definitions”). Placement of remediation waste into or within a CAMU does not constitute land disposal of hazardous waste (40 CFR 264 Subpart S [a][1], “Special Provisions for Cleanup”). The operational philosophy for the evaporation pond is implemented via the WAC and ICDF Remedial Action Work Plan (DOE/ID-10984 [DOE-ID 2012a]). CAMU means “an area within a facility that is used only for managing remediation wastes for implementing corrective action or cleanup at the facility.” For waste from outside the WAG 3 AOC, or waste that has triggered placement, ICDF evaporation pond users shall determine whether waste is subject to RCRA LDRs by completing a hazardous waste determination. If the waste is determined to be hazardous, the ICDF user will be responsible for evaluating concentrations for the constituents of concern against the applicable treatment standards or prohibition levels. The federal treatment standards and prohibition levels that apply to LDR waste are published in 40 CFR 268.40. The 1999 edition of the CFR shall be used for consistency with the ARARs cited in the OU 3-13 ROD. For waste that is hazardous by characteristic, the underlying hazardous constituents specified in 40 CFR 268.48 that can reasonably be expected to be present at the point of generation of the hazardous waste shall be evaluated.

Each acceptable waste type for the ICDF evaporation ponds is listed in Table 6-1.

Table 6-1. Summary of acceptable waste types for the ICDF evaporation pond.

Waste Type Accepted at the ICDF Content Accepted

ICDF leachate All ICDF leachate is acceptable. Land disposal restrictions do not apply as the ICDF evaporation ponds are a CAMU for ICDF leachate.

ICDF operations waste and secondary aqueous waste

Aqueous waste from routine ICDF operations (e.g., SSSTF equipment decontamination) is acceptable if it meets waste acceptance criteria.

WAG 3 and ICDF groundwater and monitoring waste

Groundwater monitoring aqueous waste generated inside the WAG 3 AOC (e.g., purge, development, sampling, and decontamination water) is acceptable if it meets waste acceptance criteria.

Other aqueous waste generated outside the WAG 3 AOC

Aqueous waste generated outside the WAG 3 area of contamination (e.g., groundwater well development, purging, sampling and decontamination water), which is primarily mixed low-level waste, generated from activities in support of Idaho National Laboratory CERCLA remedial actions is acceptable for disposal in the ICDF evaporation ponds. Activities that meet the definition of “support” are those which are identified or otherwise listed in a primary or secondary document or in another CERCLA authorized action, as defined in the FFA/CO (DOE-ID 1991), including activities that support both CERCLA and non-CERCLA objectives.

6.3 Composition and Waste Containers

Composition and waste containers are described in Table 4-5. Details specific to the evaporation ponds follow.

Waste containers may be used to transport liquid waste to the ICDF evaporation ponds. Waste containers must be capable of being discharged to the ponds via pumping at the truck unloading station. Tanker trucks and large-volume poly tanks on flatbeds are preferred containers; however, 30–55-gal drums may be acceptable.

6.4 General ICDF Evaporation Pond WAC

Table 6-2 provides the recommended maximum concentrations of chemical categories that, if actually in landfill leachate, may be incompatible with the polymeric or earthen material comprising the ICDF landfill and evaporation ponds liner systems. These limits are based on review of the published liner compatibility studies and manufacturer’s recommendations. Where available, the recommended maximum allowable concentration with regard to liner compatibility for individual design inventory constituents is provided in EDF-ER-278, and the total for chemical category is in Table 6-2.

6.5 Waste Requiring Treatment

Waste requiring treatment is listed in Table 6-3.

Table 6-3. Materials restricted from disposal at the ICDF evaporation pond until the listed conditions have been met.

Restricted Material Condition to be Met

Pyrophoric waste. Must be treated to be nonflammable prior to being disposed of.

Liquid acid waste that exhibits the characteristic of low pH under the corrosivity tests of 40 CFR 261.22 (Subpart C).

Must be neutralized to pH > 2 or < 12.5.a

Infectious waste, as defined in 10 CFR 61 (including “any substance that may harbor or transmit pathogenic organisms,” which may apply to septic tank sludge).

Special handling procedures will be required.

Presence of oil sheen. PCB testing to verify no PCBs are present.

Non-WAG 3 waters. Must meet land disposal restrictions. a. Waste placement of pH extremes will be managed within facility to ensure low pH and high pH waste types are not mixed. Special

handling procedures may be required for pH extremes.

PCB polychlorinated biphenyl. WAG waste area group

6.5.1 Compliance with Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements

The ICDF Complex is a part of a CERCLA Remedial Action, and the applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs) are clearly identified in the OU 3-13 ROD (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999]). Compliance with these ARARs is documented in the ARARs Compliance Table for the ICDF Complex, which is found in the INEEL CERCLA Disposal Facility Remedial Design/Construction Work Plan (DOE/ID-10848 [DOE-ID 2002]). Specific prohibited waste is listed in Table 4-1 of this document. ARARs that affect the WAC are those that limit what types of waste and concentrations/activities are allowed to enter the landfill. The specific ARARs that require numerical concentration/activity criteria in the WAC for various constituents are indicated in Table A-1, Appendix A.

The pond was designed and will be operated in compliance with the ARARs. The majority of ARARs fall into broad categories that relate to design and operation, release detection, and monitoring. For example, the regulations in 40 CFR 264.221, Subpart K, “Surface Impoundment Design and Operating Requirements,” were used as a basis for design requirements for the ICDF evaporation pond. ARARs that affect the WAC are those that limit what types of waste and what concentrations/activities of contaminants are allowed to enter the pond.

6.5.2 Hazardous Waste

Waste Area Group 3 AOC waste not subject to LDRs (i.e., have not triggered placement) are acceptable for direct disposal in the ICDF evaporation ponds, provided the waste meets waste acceptance criteria.

6-5

Waste may trigger placement by being treated (e.g., neutralization, solidification using reagents) or being placed in a permitted RCRA facility prior to disposal. Table 6-4 lists the maximum allowable concentrations.

Table 6-4. Maximum allowable concentrations—miscellaneous parameters.

Constituent Limitation

(Concentrations) Source of Limitation

Organics <10% by weight 40 CFR 264, Subpart BB Volatile organics <500 ppm 40 CFR 264, Subpart CC PCBs No direct disposal

around the western U.S. For chelating agents that are ultimately biodegradable and nonhazardous, disposal limits are not required. For chelating agents that are not biodegradable, a limit of 1% is retained in this document consistent with the limit used in other low-level waste disposal WACs in the western U.S. (e.g., Hanford, Nevada Test Site).

b. Waste placement of pH extremes will be managed within the facility.

DOE-ID U.S. Department of Energy Idaho Operations Office OU operable unit PCB polychlorinated biphenyl ROD record of decision TSCA Toxic Substances Control Act WAC waste acceptance criteria

6.5.3 Chelating Compounds

Waste containing greater than 1% chelating compounds cannot be placed in the evaporation ponds. Sodium citrate is considered ultimately biodegradable in an aqueous environment (40 CFR 796.3100); therefore, disposal of sodium citrate and other chelating compounds that are determined to be ultimately biodegradable in accord with 40 CFR 796.3100 is not limited to 1% in the evaporation ponds.

6.5.4 Radionuclides

Regulatory limits on radionuclide activity that can be disposed of in the evaporation ponds are invoked by the OU 3-13 ROD (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999]) and DOE O 435.1 Chg 1.

6.5.5 TRU Constituent Waste >10 nCi/g

Aqueous waste containing >10 nCi/g as expressed in liquid units (10 nCi/mL or 1E+07 pCi/L) of TRU radionuclides is prohibited from disposal in the ICDF evaporation ponds.

6.5.6 TSCA Waste

Direct disposal of PCB aqueous waste is prohibited. As a CAMU for ICDF, the evaporation ponds routinely accept FO39 (landfill leachate) waste.

6-6

6.5.7 Waste Capable of Detonation, Explosive Decomposition, or Reaction

Aqueous waste capable of detonation, explosive decomposition, reaction at normal pressures and temperature, or explosive reaction with water is prohibited (DOE M 435.1-1 Chg 2, IV G [d][3]). This includes unreacted alkali metal (e.g., sodium). Chemicals that react with atmospheric oxygen to form shock-sensitive organic peroxides are prohibited at concentrations that are capable of generating an explosive reaction. Generally speaking, process knowledge is used to make the determination that aqueous waste is or is not capable of detonation, explosive decomposition, or reaction.

6.5.8 Waste Capable of Generating Toxic Gases, Vapors, or Fumes

Aqueous waste capable of generating toxic gases, vapors, or fumes harmful to persons transporting, handling, and disposing the waste is prohibited (DOE M 435.1-1 Chg 2, IV G [d][4]). Generally speaking, process knowledge is used to make the determination that waste is or is not capable of generating toxic gases, vapors, or fumes.

6.5.9 Hazardous Waste with Greater than 500 ppm Volatile Organic Compounds

Aqueous hazardous waste with >500 ppm volatile organic compounds is prohibited. This restriction exempts the evaporation ponds from compliance to IDAPA 58.01.05.008 (40 CFR 264 Subpart CC, “Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface Impoundments, and Containers”).

6.5.10 Noncontact-Handled Waste

Noncontact-handled waste shall meet the applicable dose rate restrictions of the Department of Transportation or an approved packaging safety analysis. Noncontact-handled waste shall be configured for unloading such that personnel exposures are maintained as low as reasonably achievable.

6.6 Chemical and Radiological Waste Acceptance Criteria for the Evaporation Ponds

Radiological and chemical WAC limits for the disposal of waste to the evaporation ponds are shown in Appendix A, Table A-1. For expected disposals to the ICDF Evaporation Ponds, limits for all chemical constituents and radionuclides are believed to have been identified and are listed in Table A-1. If a waste stream has a new radionuclide or chemical constituent (not currently in Table A-1), limits will be developed as appropriate. The incorporation of new ICDF Evaporation Pond radionuclide or chemical constituents into Table A-1 is discussed in Sections 6.6.1 and 6.6.2.

6.6.1 New Chemical Constituents for Disposal to the Evaporation Ponds

A new chemical constituent will be added to the ICDF Evaporation Pond WAC in Table A-1 if it is a hazardous constituent listed by EPA in Appendix VIII of 40 CFR 261 or Appendix IX of 40 CFR 264. The chemical constituent will be added to Table A-1 prior to disposal in the ICDF Evaporation Ponds if the inventory of the constituent in the waste stream is greater than 1 g. Chemical constituents not identified as hazardous constituents by the EPA or that are at inventories less than 1 g per waste stream are acceptable for disposal at the ICDF Evaporation Ponds without those constituents being added to the ICDF WAC.

For comparison with the current pond limits, the minimum limiting evaporation pond concentration is 20 mg/L (for 1,1,1-trichloroethane). A 50-L (13.2-gal) disposal at 20 mg/L would contain 1 g of the hazardous chemical. The evaporation ponds contain hundreds of thousands of gallons of water, so a

6-7

disposal of 1 g of hazardous waste would result in an insignificant pond concentration relative to the 20-mg/L minimum limiting concentration in the ponds.

6.6.2 New Radionuclides for Disposal to the Evaporation Ponds

ICDF Evaporation Pond radionuclide limits not listed in Table A-1 will be added to the table if a significant concentration or activity of that radionuclide is found in a future evaporation pond waste disposal. The significance of the concentration or activity of a new radionuclide is defined based on its relative value to radionuclide limits already in Table A-1.

The current minimum limiting radionuclide evaporation pond concentration is based on potential degradation of the pond liner. The minimum limiting concentration is 1.6E+06 pCi/L for Po-212 (other polonium isotopes have similar limits). A generic WAC limit for all radionuclides not currently identified in Table A-1 is established at less than 10% of the minimum limiting concentration in Table A-1 or 1.E+05 pCi/L. Radionuclides greater than 1.E+05 pCi/L must be further evaluated and added to Table A-1 prior to disposal in the ICDF Evaporation Ponds.

6.6.3 Applying Waste Concentration Limits for the Evaporation Ponds

Appendix A, Table A-1 for the evaporation ponds, does not contain cumulative total inventory-based limits similar to the landfill inventory limits to address the accumulation of constituents in the ponds over time. Therefore, WAC limits apply to the waste stream as received. These limits were developed assuming that an entire pond was at the concentration-based limits. If calculations for a specific waste stream constituent demonstrate that it will exceed the WAC limits, then the acceptability of that waste stream’s impact to the entire pond concentration will be evaluated. The waste will be acceptable for disposal in the evaporation ponds if the waste stream containing the constituent exceeding the WAC concentration limits could be added to the existing inventory in the pond and result in overall pond concentrations less than 1% of the WAC limits.

7-1

7. WASTE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR THE STAGING, STORAGE, SIZING, AND TREATMENT FACILITY

The SSSTF may accept CERCLA waste generated within the boundaries of the INL. Hazardous, mixed, low-level, and TSCA waste (PCBs and asbestos) may be accepted for treatment and/or repackaging in the SSSTF. The purpose of this section is to provide the basis for types and quantities of waste allowed for treatment and/or repackaging. This waste will be disposed of in the landfill or evaporation pond or shipped off-Site. As SSSTF operations occur within the WAG 3 AOC, there is flexibility to manage waste without triggering LDRs and other RCRA requirements in accordance with the OU 3-13 ROD (DOE/ID-10660 [DOE-ID 1999]). Land disposal restrictions apply to waste generated outside the WAG 3 AOC or to WAG 3 AOC waste types that have triggered placement.

This section details criteria that must be satisfied prior to accepting waste for treatment and/or repackaging within the SSSTF. Compliance with the ICDF WAC ensures protection of human health and the environment, the Snake River Plain Aquifer, and ensures compliance with applicable regulatory and OU 3-13 ROD requirements. Waste that cannot be disposed of in the ICDF landfill or evaporation pond may still be treated and/or repackaged for off-Site disposal.

7.1 Chemical Criteria

The SSSTF will treat soil using a robust treatment formula. The chemical limits for the soil stabilization unit will be based on safety for personnel and equipment in the facility.

7.2 Physical Criteria for the Microencapsulation Unit

Containers must fit in the SSSTF and be capable of withstanding the internal forces imparted during treatment and storage. In addition, containers shall be in good condition with no visible cracks, holes, bulges, substantial corrosion, or other damage that could compromise integrity. If special handling requirements are necessary due to weight or radiation issues, the containers must be equipped to allow for these requirements prior to shipment. Debris not boxed in 2- × 4- × 8-ft or 4- × 4- × 8-ft boxes must be pre-approved by ICDF. Other packaging may be acceptable but will require special operational adjustments. In particular, the container must have the structural integrity to withstand the treatment process.

IDAPA 58.01.05.008 (40 CFR 264, Subpart BB), “Air Emission Standards for Equipment Leaks,” states: These standards apply to equipment that contains or contacts hazardous waste with organic concentrations of at least 10% by weight. The standards are for specific pieces of equipment (e.g., pumps, compressors, and pressure-relief valves).

7.3 Radiological Criteria Waste must be <500 mR/hour at 1 m for normal handling procedures. If waste >500 mrem/hour is

identified, shielding and other institutional and engineering controls must be implemented.

Source for radionuclide half-life data: National Nuclear Data Center, http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/, Brookhaven National

Laboratory. b. The mass values are maximum masses that cannot be exceeded. c. For radiological constituents that are not expected in the leachate due to their low solubility or other factors as described in EDF-ER-274, “Leachate/Contaminant

Reduction Time Study,” there is no pond liner compatibility limit. RAO remedial action objective NA not applicable (no limit for these radionuclides because they decay in place or the limits are larger than possible [e.g., concentration limit is greater than the specific

activity]) NM indicates an evaporation pond limit has been evaluated for the constituent but a landfill limit has not been evaluated for the constituent and would require modeling to

determine the landfill limit prior to acceptance in the landfill if it is not otherwise deemed acceptable
