may be generated during operation. The description should include estimates of the quantities of wastes to be disposed of, their pollutant concentrations, the manner in which they will be treated and controlled and the procedures for disposal. The information related to these waste systems for the proposed plant should include, but are not limited to the following: • description of liquid effluents, including treatment, characteristics, rate and frequency of release, • for effluents containing chemicals or biocides, a list of chemicals, annual amounts used, frequency of use, and concentration in waste stream, • sanitary effluent discharges, treatment, and disposal, • estimates for quantities of solid waste, collection, and disposal, • location and elevation of gaseous effluent vents, • description of gaseous effluents, including treatment, characteristics, quantity and frequency of release; and • hazardous waste accumulation, treatment, and disposal.
