Wastewater and Hazardous Waste Survey, England AFB Louisiana.
Abstract
A wastewater characterization and hazardous waste survey was conducted at England AFB by USAFOEHL personnel to address a compliance order given to the base by the State of Louisiana Office of Solid and Hazardous Waste. The compliance order identified several deficiencies in the England AFB hazardous waste program and tasked the base to provide the City of Alexandria with analytical data regarding any and all discharges into the sanitary sewer system. The results of the hazardous waste survey showed the base hazardous waste program was running smoothly. The accumulation site managers have a good understanding of the overall waste management program. The base has effectively minimized solvent waste handling through the widespread use of Safety Kleen cleaning vats. The analytical results from the wastewater survey showed arsenic, cadmium, benzene, chlorinated benzene, and fuel components above the applicable discharge ordinance, City of Alexandria Local Ordinance 27.5-8. However, the concentrations of the chemicals were near the discharge limits. The results of the characteristics hazardous waste analysis showed the separator located outside the Armament Shop (building 2102) contained hazardous waste. Fire training pit operations could exceed the fire training pit oil/water separator capacity.
