A. [Staffing]{.underline}

The following classification and numbers reflect current staffing.

1 Pollution Control Technician Senior

1 Pollution Control Technician Lead Senior

B. [Workload/Description of Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility
(IWTF)]{.underline}

[General]{.underline}. The Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility
(Building 4761) treats 50,000 gallons per day of metal finishing waste
containing cyanide, chrome and heavy metals from Buildings 4760 and
4705, and 5000 gallons per day of paint booth and water blast
wastewater. The new IWTF includes two 77,000 gallon effluent tanks, two
77,000 gallon influent tanks, two cyanide reaction tanks, lime silo and
slurry feed system, sulfuric acid storage tank, chloride gas feed
system, SO~2~ gas feed system, chemical treatment tank, diatomaceous
earth slurry tank, paint waste holding tank, metal finishing wastewater
flocculator, clarifier, sludge holding tanks, filter press, dryer, and
miscellaneous pumps, mixers, etc.

[TREATMENT OF METAL FINISHING WASTEWATER]{.underline}

General industrial waste waters, general metal finishing waste waters,
and waste waters containing hexavalent chromium, from Building 4760 and
Building 4705, are transferred by underground piping to the influent
pumping station on the west side of the IWTF. Wastewater generated
locally at the IWTF from the cyanide treatment process, filter press,
return flow from the sand filter, and rainwater collected in the
containment areas are also combined in the pumping station.

The pumping station consists of a concrete sump with two submersible
pumps, which convey wastewater to two influent holding tanks located on
the northwest side of the building. Level switches located in the well
automatically activate the pumps when a set level is reached, and the
pumps operate until a low level switch is activated, which shuts off the
pumps.

The treatment of metal finishing wastewater occurs in an elevated,
four-compartment, flow-through tank. In the first compartment, the pH of
the wastewater is lowered to a value of 2 to 3 standard units by the
addition of sulfuric acid. A sulfur dioxide solution is injected into
the second compartment, which reduces the hexavalent chromium present in
the wastewater to trivalent chromium. The sulfur dioxide solution
addition is controlled to a value of +300mv by the oxidation-reduction
potential (ORP) in the compartment, in order to achieve complete
reaction.

In the third and fourth compartments, the pH is raised to approximately
9.5 standard units in two increments, by the addition of lime slurry to
form metal hydroxide precipitates.

After chemical treatment, the treated wastewater flows by gravity to the
clarifier, where polymer flocculant is added. The clarifier separates
the metal hydroxide precipitates from the treated wastewater. The
insoluble metal hydroxides precipitate settles to the bottom of the
clarifier, where it is pumped to the sludge holding tank and
subsequently to the filter press for removal of excess water. The
treated wastewater flows up through the clarifier and onto the sand
filter.

The sand filter is used as a final step in the separation process, as a
\"polisher\", to remove any remaining suspended metal hydroxide
particles from the treated wastewater which were not removed by the
clarifier. The wastewater flows into the bottom of the filter, up
through the sand bed and out through the top, and then to one of the
effluent holding tanks located on the northeast side of the building.
The sand filter has a continuous backwash system that cleans the sand
bed of any metal hydroxide precipitate, and returns the precipitate back
to the influent holding tanks for re-treatment.

The final pH adjustment of the treated wastewater from the northeast
exterior holding tank(s) occurs in a two-compartment, flow-through tank
located on the ground elevation in the main floor area. In the first
compartment, the pH is lowered from 9.5 to a neutral range of 6.5 to
8.0, by the addition of sulfuric acid. In the event that the pH is
lowered below 6.5, lime slurry is automatically added in the second
compartment to adjust the pH to the neutral range.

After pH adjustment, the treated wastewater flows by gravity to the
effluent monitor tank. Flow composite samples are withdrawn by the
effluent sampler at prescribed intervals determined by the Environmental
Engineering and Management Office (AE01). The composite samples are
provided to the MSFC Analytical Contractor for analysis. Daily discharge
amounts and pH readings are recorded in the operational log book,
maintained in the Control Room.

[Sludge Dewatering and Drying]{.underline}

Suspended metal hydroxide precipitates and conditioned paint waste
particles are collected in the Sludge Holding Tank prior to dewatering
and drying.

Sludge dewatering is accomplished using a plate filter press. The sludge
is pumped through the filter press, with the suspended solids being
captured on the filter media, and the filter water is recycled back to
the influent pumping station for transfer to the influent holding tanks.
After filtering, the dewatered sludge is processed through a dryer
system and containerized for off site disposal.

[CYANIDE WASTEWATER TREATMENT]{.underline}

Segregated cyanide wastewater from Building 4760 is pumped via a force
main to cyanide reaction tanks at Building 4761. When the reaction tanks
indicate a high level, a sensor will automatically close the valve in
the force main, preventing additional cyanide wastewater from being
pumped. A hardwired alarm signal will be activated in Building 4760 to
alert the operators in the building to stop the discharge of the cyanide
wastewater.

When the high tank level set point is reached, the cyanide destruction
sequence will begin. If the pH of the wastewater is less than 9.0, lime
slurry is automatically added until the pH reaches 9.0. Then chlorine
solution is added to the reaction tank until the
oxidation-reduction-potential (ORP) indicator reaches +400mv. When the
ORP is reached, the chlorine solution valve automatically closes. The
contents of the tank are reacted for 30 minutes to produce cyanates
(CNO). After the reaction time, additional chlorine solution is added to
the tank automatically, until an ORP of +600mv is achieved. The contents
of the tank are reacted for an additional 60 minutes. At this point, the
cyanide destruction process is complete.

A sample of the solution is taken by the Industrial Waste Treatment
Operator and provided to the MSFC Analytical Contractor for analysis.
The results of the test will be logged in the cyanide treatment logbook
located in the Control Room. If the cyanide concentration is above 0.65
ppm, the treatment process will be repeated.

Once analytical results indicate the cyanide destruction reaction is
complete, the treated wastewater is transferred by gravity to the west
pumping station through the process drain, and then pumped to the MFW
Influent Tanks.

[PAINT SPRAY BOOTH WASTEWATER TREATMENT]{.underline}

Paint booth wastewater from Building 4760 is pumped directly to the
paint wastewater holding tank on the south side exterior of Building
4761. A high level sensor in the tank activates an alarm at Building
4760, to alert the operators to stop the paint waste sump pumps. Paint
wastewater is collected in the tank until the level reaches 11 feet, as
indicated on the PLC. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) slurry is added, mixed,
and the paint wastewater is transferred to the sludge holding tank in
Room 101 for dewatering.

[Hazardous Material Management]{.underline}

A. [Staffing]{.underline}

The Hazardous Waste Function staff also performs this function.

B. [Workload]{.underline}

The workload will include inputting chemical inventory data sheets,
inspecting to ensure accuracy of data, and provide reporting as required
by MSFC and other regulations. The current MSFC Chemical Inventory
Database has approximately 11,000 entries and 13,000 material safety
data sheets inputted. The chemical inventory covers 202 buildings at
MSFC. Work efforts include corresponding with approximately 150 points
of contacts (NASA and other contractors), preparing Tier II report,
inspecting/correcting information, inspecting storage areas, attending
preconstruction conferences, provide point of contact listing, supplying
toxic release reporting information, preparing chemical inventory master
list, and preparing training materials. Master list of Chemicals is
available in Reading Room.

[Spill Response Function]{.underline}

A. [Staffing]{.underline}

Staff of specially-trained personnel drawn from their regular duties as
required when spills occur.

B. [Spill Response Supplies]{.underline}

Typical Spill Response Supplies and Materials kept on hand is included
as an Appendix to the MSFC Spill, Prevention, Control and
Countermeasure/RCRA Contingency Plan
