Content:
solidification (binding) agents and potential waste constituents should be tested and a set of process parameters (e.g., pH, ratio of waste to agent) should be established with BTP 11-3-4 Revision 3 - March 2007 boundary conditions that reasonably assure that stabilization will be complete, with essentially zero free liquid and appropriate waste form characteristics. ii. Dewatering procedures, equipment, and potential waste constituents should be tested and a set of process parameters (e.g., settling time, drain time, drying time) should be established with boundary conditions that reasonably assure that dewatering will be complete, with essentially zero free liquid. iii. The solid waste processing system (or liquid waste processing system, as appropriate) should include appropriate instrumentation and wet waste sampling capability necessary to successfully implement and/or verify the PCP described in Subsections II.2.A.i and/or II.2.A.ii, above. iv. The plant operator should provide assurance that the process is run within the parameters established under Subsections II.2.A.i and/or II.2.A.ii, above. The licensee should maintain appropriate records for individual batches, showing conformance with the established parameters. B. Free Liquid Detection Using suitable methods, the operator should check each container filled with stabilized or dewatered wet wastes to verify the absence of free liquids using the PCP. An alternate method may be used if an offnormal condition exists during processing, but the alternate method must be documented and its effectiveness must be demonstrated using real or simulated waste material. Visual inspection of the upper surface of the waste in the container is not alone sufficient to ensure that free water is not present in the container. Provisions to be used to verify the absence of free liquids should consider actual stabilization procedures which may create a thin layer of encapsulation or solidifying agent on top without affecting
