RCRA Facility Investigation. Phase 1. Summary Report for Known Releases Units, Tooele Army Depot, South Area

Abstract

An RFI Phase I Summary Report was prepared to summarize information regarding solid waste management units (SWMU)s with known releases at the Tooele Army Depot-South Area in Utah. These SWMUs are the Chemical Agent Munitions Disposal System (CAMDS), and the area in the vicinity of the inactive Deactivation Furnace. CAMDS is designed to treat new equipment for demilitarizing many different types of chemical munitions. Waste and product spills have been noted at CAMDS; these include releases at the boiler blowdown ditch and ponding area, the three diesel oil above-ground tanks, and the underground fuel oil product lines. The inactive deactivation furnace served as a prototype of the CAMDS facility by disposing of fuses, first-fire mixes, primers, and small arms. A mercury spill and fuel oil spill were reported to have occurred in this area. Environmental Impacts due to the reported spills are summarized in the report. Keywords: Solid Waste Management Unit; Deactivation furnace.
