Jim Smith gave me the following estimates of rip track washing:
Item
Quantity
Total Water Used/Item
Tk Trailers
3/Mo.
2-3 M Gal.
Tk Cars
4/Mo.
4-5 M Gal.
If we use a solubility figure of 2 ppm as reported in the SAB interim storage sample, the following is obtained:
Item
flPCB/Item
#PCB/Yr
Tk Trailer
0.05#
1.8 #/Yr.
Tk Car
0.084
4.0________
Total
5.8 #/Yr.
Thus, it would appear that spending $15,000 to install kerosene washing facilities is not justified. This, of course, is de pendent on successful operation of the settling basin to remove all free PCB.
