## Environmental Performance

## Significant Environmental Aspect Summary

- Regulated Industrial Waste
- Hazardous Waste
- Radioactive Waste
- Mixed Waste
- Regulated Medical Waste
- Atmosphere Discharges
- Liquid Discharge
- Chemical Storage – non-rad
- Universal Waste
- Positive Aspects
- Waste Water Treatment
- Building Demolitions

- LEEDS Certification

## Ground Water Contamination

- Operate facilities in a manner that is protective of groundwater quality
- Sewage Treatment Plant (approximately 15% of treated water recharges directly to groundwater below filter beds)
- Major Petroleum Facility / Central Steam Facility (petroleum storage and transfer)
- Motor Pool (gasoline storage and vehicle maintenance)
- Service Station (gasoline storage and vehicle maintenance)
- Live Fire Range and Shotgun Range (Lead)
- Groundwater surveillance programs are in place at each facility.  Annual monitoring costs = $45,000.
- Monitoring results indicate that current operational and engineered controls are effective. Routine detection of low-level contamination is from historical operations.

## Spill Trends

- Decrease in spills during FY 2005  is attributed to the a focus on spills, tool box discussions, and a better understanding of what spills can be managed/cleaned up immediately

**NOTE:** Includes all spills (i.e., reportable to any agency and non-reportable)

## Corrective Actions Resulting From Spills

- A diesel generator was stored on soil and its fuel tank overflowed due to thermal expansion
- Replace 10% rule with 75% as measured by fuel gauge, complete
- Designate temporary storage area – 610, complete
- Develop a permanent storage area with containment, in work
- Communicate spill prevention practices to BNL employees engaged in fuel transfers, complete
- Develop and deliver a Spill prevention toolbox for EP, in work

## SPDES

- _SPDES Outfalls for which F&O is responsible_
- Outfall 001 (STP discharge to the Peconic River)
- Outfall 001E, (Boiler blow down from Bldg. 244, 405, etc., reported by the Steam Shop quarterly
- Outfall 005 (Recharge Basin HS) receives predominately storm water runoff, minimal cooling tower blowdown and once-through cooling water from the NSLS, the Chemistry Department, and the EENS Department)
- Outfall 007 (Recharge Basin HX) receives filter backwash water from the Water Treatment Plant.
- Outfall 010 (Central Steam Facility (CSF) recharge basin) receives storm water runoff from the CSF area.

## SPDES 

## SPDES

- _FY 05 Exceedences_
- Outfall 001 (STP discharge to the Peconic River)
- 2/7/05:  total nitrogen concentration of 12.7 mg/L, which exceeds the permit limit of 10 mg/L.  Samples collected by the NYSDEC on February 8 had similar results of 11.3 mg/L.  The composite samples collected on March 7 and 9, 2005 had total nitrogen concentrations of 13.3 and 9.3 mg/L respectively.
- 3/7/05: total nitrogen concentration of 13.1 mg/L, which exceeds the permit limit of 10 mg/L.  The composite sample collected on March 9, 2005 had a total nitrogen concentration of 9.3 mg/L.
- The cause of these exceedances was due to a normally closed primary valve from the primary clarified effluent channel that was leaking significantly.  The valve body was separated from the wall of the concrete channel allowing treated wastewater to flow back into the effluent chamber from the secondary clarified.
- Corrective action was to temporarily repair the valve until it was  permanently removed and the effluent piping plugged.  The valve was not needed for routine operations.

## SPDES

- _FY 05 Exceedences_
- Outfall 001 (STP discharge to the Peconic River)
- 2/4/5:  Ammonia concentration of 3.7 mg/L, which exceeds the permit limit of 2 mg/L.
- Considered a one time excursion based on compliance of additional samples collected.
- May be related to previous condition

## SPDES

- _FY 05 Exceedences_
- Outfall 001 (STP discharge to the Peconic River)
- 3/11/05:  total copper concentration of 0.161 mg/L, which exceeds the permit limit of 0.15 mg/L.  The composite sample collected on March 23, 2005, had a total copper concentration of 0.046 mg/L.
- Considered a one time excursion based on compliance of additional samples collected.
- Outfall 006A (HT Recharge Basins)
- 2/18/05: A sample collected had a pH of 9.39 SU which exceeds the permit limit of 9.0 SU.  The pH was verified at 9.43 forty minutes later.
- The cause of the exceedances was due to an overdose of hydroxide by the EP Water Treatment Facility at one of the eastern wells.  The problem had been corrected by EP.
- Corrective action was to improve Water Treatment Facility procedures to improve communication during abnormal occurrences and to address caustic additions.

## Maintenance Critical to Environmental Compliance

## Recycling

- The goal was to maximize the amount of waste recycled
- The measure was
- _Total tons of solid waste recycled X 100_
- Total tons of solid waste generated
- 61.7% achieved in FY 05
-  48.1% in FY 04
-  37.52% in FY 03
- A tremendous amount of metal was recycled this FY, thereby significantly increasing the recycling percentage – Future percentage values will probably “not” be this high.

## FY 05 Environmental Improvements / Actions

- Purchased approximately $12,000 of mercury free replacement utility devices such as thermometers and thermostats (P2 funding).  These units will be replaced in the field during EP maintenance.
- Replaced Halon 1211 fire extinguishers (P2 funding)
- Cost shared in the following pollution prevention projects:
- 901 regulator PCB draining
- 208 hopper demolition
- Replacement of the 490 animal bedding disposal system (note: this installation work will continue through the beginning of ’06)

## FY 05 Environmental Improvements / Actions

- Purchased 5 aerosol can hole puncturing assemblies to minimize the generation of hazardous waste
- Installed SONOXIDE treatment on CCWF Cooling Tower (Reduced Biocide Use)
- Recovered 238 pounds of CFC-113 from the Building 511 chiller – this is a Class 1 Ozone Depleting Substance and helps the Lab to meet its’ EPA P-Track goal (P2 funding)

## FY 05 Environmental Improvements / Actions

- Purchased an in ground oil/water separator, which will be installed during FY 06, to capture oils from a grounds vehicle wash to be located by the 326 complex (P2 funding)
- Drained and disposed of 28 transformers, which were held as spare inventory, thereby minimizing the potential for spill or leaks.
- EP designed, manufactured and installed a contaminated waste tank for the Central Steam Facility.  This allows the oil tube heating/cleaning condensate drains to be combined and flow through a simple type oil/water separator in case the tube develops a leak.

## FY 06 Planned Improvements / Actions

- Mercury found in Nessler reagent used to determine ammonia levels in SPT.  Test methods are being changed to eliminate its use.
- Title V stack testing at CSF
