CAUSTIC 1 / CHLOR-ALKALI2 1994 REACTIVE CHEMICALS REVIEW WASTE DISPOSAL AND STORAGE WASTE DISPOSAL PRACTICES PROCESS WASTE: CA-2 is actively working to achieve 100 % compliance with RCRA for hazardous wastes storage, handling, and disposal. All reoccurring waste types have pre-designated type numbers. Hazardous waste storage is located at D-803 Area, audited weekly for compliance with RCRA. Training and communication of RCRA procedures is ongoing. Oil sorb or oil diapers are used in waste packs to eliminate free liquids. Non-routine waste disposal is handled by special procedures. Environmental Superintendent is usually consulted in development of a disposal plan. Specific waste handling procedures are documented in the reference library. LAB WASTE: Caustic, acids, salts, cooling tower water analysis chemicals are discharged to sinks. Flow injection analyzer reagents discharge to outfall. Liquid chlorine process samples are returned to the process at the appropriate place. Chlorinated organic compounds are hazardous waste, and are disposed of in waste packs (decant pot). Non-routine samples and incompatible lab chemicals are handled through Environmental Operations using waste characterizations. Generally 5 gallon buckets.
