Travis Wastewater Survey, Travis AFB, California.

Abstract

USAFOEHL conducted an on-site wastewater quality survey at Travis AFB CA from 6-11 Aug 85 at the request of 60 ABG/DEE. The survey was requested to characterize the influent and effluent from the installation's oil/water separators to determine if they require permits under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). All samples were analyzed for pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and Oil and Grease (O&G). Samples taken from industrial areas were additionally analyzed for EPA volatile halocarbons, volatile armoatics, and metals by the ICP metals screen. Sampling results were evaluated against the following criteria: (1) Pretreatment Standards for Existing sources, 40 CFR Part 433--Metal finishing point source category, (2) 50 CFR 260 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the California Hazardous Waste Control Act, and (3) Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District wastewater Discharge Ordinance No. 9, Section 2.09 -- Limitations on Wastewater Strength. Twelve sample sites had one or more parameters exceeding the limitations set forth by the preceding criteria.
