FROM: Mark E. Wallace, MD, MPH,
Executive Director
Department of Public Health & Environment
DATE: September 9, 2015
SUBJECT: Contract Extension with Clean Harbors
Environmental Services, Inc.
For the Board's review and approval is a Contract Agreement Extension/Renewal between Clean
Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. and the Weld County Department of Public Health and
Environment (WCDPHE). Our one year contract with Clean Harbors for the disposal of household
hazardous waste will expire on August 25, 2015, and the original contract offers the option of up
to two renewal years and we would like to accept an additional year, with a new end date of
August 25, 2016. Clean Harbors would like to raise their prices by 3% due to general inflation and
we believe this is a reasonable and acceptable increase.
I recommend approval of this Contract Agreement Extension/Renewal with Clean Harbors.

RE: Contract Extension with Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc.

PERSON REQUESTING: Mark E. Wallace, MD MPH Executive Director
Brief description of the problem/issue:
For the Board's review and approval is a Contract Agreement Extension/Renewal between Clean Harbors
Environmental Services, Inc. and the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment (WCDPHE).
Our one year contract with Clean Harbors for the disposal of household hazardous waste will expire on August
25, 2015, and the original contract offers the option of up to two renewal years and we would like to accept an
additional year, with a new end date of August 25, 2016. Clean Harbors would like to raise their prices by 3%
due to general inflation and we believe this is a reasonable and acceptable increase.
What options exist for the Board?
1. Terminate contract. We would have to put out to bid, and it is not likely that we would find a vendor
with lower pricing, as Clean Harbors offered the lowest bid in 2014.
2. Approve the extension and accept the price increase. Yearly, we budget $120,000 for HHW disposal. A
3% pricing increase would not put us over this yearly budget.
Recommendation: I recommend approval of this Contract Agreement Extension/Renewal with Clean Harbors..

Professional shall submit to County originals of all test results, reports, etc., generated during completion of the services
provided pursuant to this Agreement. Acceptance by County of reports and incidental material(s) furnished under this

requirements identified in Exhibit A. Contract Professional shall be responsible for the professional quality, technical
accuracy, and quantity of all services which it provides, the timely delivery of said services, and the coordination of all

Agreement. Contract Professional shall be fully responsible and liable for any and all injuries or damage received or
sustained by any person, persons, or property on account of its performance under this Agreement or its failure to comply

of the materials required herein; or through use of unacceptable materials and/or materials not identified in Exhibits A and/or
B; or from any claims or amounts arising or recovered under the Worker's Compensation Act, or other law, ordinance, order,
or decree. The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent any injury, loss, damage, liability, suits, actions, or claims are
caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party. In the event of Contract Professionals deficiency in
performance as enumerated in this paragraph, County may retain as much of any moneys due Contract Professional under
any this Agreement as may be determined by it to be in the public interest. By execution of this Agreement, Contract
Professional has agreed to secure and maintain the insurance required by the terms of Exhibit A. A failure to comply with
this provision shall result in County's right to immediately terminate this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable to the other
for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including loss of use or lost profits.

15. Interruptions. Except for the payment of money for services rendered, neither party to this Agreement shall
be liable to the other for delays in delivery or failure to deliver or otherwise to perform any obligation under this
Agreement, where such failure is due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to Acts of God,
fires, strikes, war, flood, earthquakes or Governmental actions.

delivered to the other party at that party's address as stated above. County designates Gabrielle Vergara, Coordinator, Weld

20. Fund Availability. Financial obligations of the County payable after the current fiscal year are contingent
upon funds for that purpose being appropriated, budgeted and otherwise made available. Execution of this Agreement by

8. The Contractor shall have no less than five (5) years of experience in
transporting, disposing, and handling of hazardous wastes.
Now in our 34`h year of operation, Clean Harbors is the leading provider of
environmental, energy and industrial services throughout North America. The Company
serves over 230,000 customers, induding a majority of the Fortune 500 companies,
thousands of smaller private entities, and nuinerous federal, state, provincial, and local

Waste Packaging
Clean Harbors accepts wastes packaged in 5 gallon, ] 0 gallon, 15 gallon, 30 gallon, 55-
gallon drums, Cubic Yard & Meter Boxes and Conquest Boxes. Clean Harbors' disposal
facilities have no restrictions on what size of container you can package the HHW
�naterials collected at your permanent facilities.
Unlike other HH W vendors who impose their own operational limitations on their
customers, Clean Harbors allows you package in the largest size container as allowed by
law, which ultimately saves the Comity money on supplies. For example, Clean Harbors
accepts oxidizer materials in 55-gallon drums, where other vendors do not.
All waste must be packaged in accordance with the applicable DOT packaging
regulations under Title 40 C[ R 262 .30 and Title 49 CFR 173, 178, ] 79 . These
regulations ensure that the packages will be able to withstand shipping safely. An
overview of the general requirements is as follows :
Containers must be sturdy and strong enough to contain the hazardous
materials so that there is no release of the material during shipping or storage.
The contaiuer must be selected so that it does not react with the contents
causing gases or vapors to be generated.
The DOT has determined wbat types of containers may be used to safely
package hazxrdous materials aud hazardous waste.
When selecting a container, the handler wotild identify the material to be
packaged, and then refer to the DOT shipping regulations to determine the
specifications of the container that must be used.
The packaging method will be determined by the DOT prescribed shipping requirements
found in 49 CFR 172 . I 01 . Each container is properly identified with its hazard
classification a�d DOT description. Clean Harbors uses the following three packaging
options for HHW material.
Bulk
Loose Pack
Lab Pack
BULK
Typically, bulk packaging of materials is the most space and cost efficient packaging
possible. Clean Harbors proposes that the County bulk as much material as possible at
the pennanent facilities iu order to miuimize the number of drums produced, reducing
both transportation aud disposal costs to the Counry.

LOOSEPACK
Commonly g�enerated HHW hazard classes are flammables, flammable liquid poisons,
poisons, flammable solids, flainmable gas (aerosols). These waste streatns have been
"pre-approved" by Cleau Harbors-owued TSDFs. This method of packiug is utilized in
place of lab packing. This allows imn�ediate packaging upon segregation, as no material
inventory is required. The concept is then MORE for LESS - - MORE waste volume can
be packed per container in LESS h�me.
LAB PACK
All other waste streams will be lab packed and an inventory sheet will be developed
which lists and assigns a unique identitication number to each container. This ID nwnber
will be used to "h�ack" the waste as it is handled, packaged, stored, shipped and disposed.
This infonnation will be used for data input on computer-generated waste reports
including, manifests, drum sum�nary reports, and other custo�nized reports.

(disposal) methods for this contract.

of the workshop topics may include:
What types of hazardous waste do I generate?
What ]aws aud regulations do I need to know?

How do I participate in the program'?
What does the program cost?
How cxn the program help me save money'?

Delivery of Supplies
Clean Harbors plans to deliver packing supplies to the pennanent collection facilities
when we conduct a waste pickup. This approach enables us to minimize costs to the
County. Should the County need supplies prior to a waste pickup, the County may
contact our HHW Project Mauager, Scott Lyons to request delivery. Our close
proxiuiity, Denver, CO, ensures timely and rapid response to the County's request.
We included the cost of supplies with our disposal pricing. Weld County may keep the
leftover supplies that we drop off at the pern�anent locations during the nonnal course of
operations; therefore the County owns these supplies.

Yes. Clean Harbors has a lot of experience managing permanent HHW facilities. HHW
chetnicals can be bulked /consolidated in accordance with our waste packaging
guidelines. We normally work with Counties to create "generic" profiles for bulk
materials that are typically g�enerated as a result of HHW programs.
B. While the County will continue to advertise that certain hazardous
materials are unacceptable; some of these items will surely "slip"
through. What hazardous maferials will you not accepf (be very specific)
and what steps will you take to assist Weld County in disposing of any
of these wastes ?
Clean Harbors will not accept the following hazardous waste:
Radioactive Materials
Explosives Devises and Chemicals as detiued in 40 Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 173 .5 (unless authorized by the Couraty)
� Large Co�npressed Gas Cylinders (unless authorized by the County)
Biohazardous Wastes other than sharps (unless authorzzed by the County)
In the unlikely event that these items are inadvertently collected by the Counry, Clean
Harbors has extensive experience in the management of these materials and, if the
County desires, we will arrange for the proper disposal of the items as showu in the
infonnation on the following page.

Alternatives for Managing Unacceptable Waste
Waste Stream Strateaies/Solutions
Radioactive Matei•ials There are a nwnber of companies including PWN
and Thomas Grey who manage radiological
materials. Gean Harbors will arrange for the
transportation, management and disposal of these
�naterials through one of these subcontractors.
Lnf'ectious Medzcal Waste, There are a number of companies that manage other
[han s{aa�ps biological, etiologic and infectious materials.
Clean Harbors will airange for the transportarion,
manageme»t ai�d disposal of these materials through
our subcontractor. Sharps can be handled through
Clean Harbors and contained and stored in punchire
proof container prior to transportation .
La�ge Compressed Gus Cylinclers For these unacceptable waste streams Clean
Harbors can package, transport and dispose of these materials through our in-house high
hazard department.
Explosives Occasionally, explosive materials have been
inadvertently collected at these programs. It is
recommended that these materials be isolated in
accordance with the recommended buffer zoiies and
mirigation measures. Loca] emergency agencies will
benotitied immediately. Typically, local public
safety agencies mobilize their Bomb Squads to
properly manage, transport and detonate these
materials in controlled environments. If this option
is not available, Clean Harbors will arrang�e for the
transportation and detonation of these inaterials
through our subcontractor. Additionally, if directed
by the City, Clean Harbors can all transport
explosivesthrough ourin-house high hazard
department.

C. Has your company undergone any external audifs ? If so, were they
done by an independent auditor, EPA, OSHA, etc. ? Are the results of the
audits available for review by Weld County auditors ?
Yes. Clean Harbors is routinely inspected by regulatory agencies such as EPA and
OSHA and many of our facilities have been independently audited by CHWMEG, luc.
Our co�npliance history is available upon request. We cannot provide copies of the audits
conducted by CH WMEG, Ina Weld County would need to contact them directly.
D. Will your company infroduce price changes for certain wasfe streams if
the volumes of fhose streams either increase or decrease over the
contract period.
Generally no, however Clean Harbors is willing to discuss any ideas that the County may
have.

Facility History
Land for the Aragonite Incineration Facility was purchased in May 1987. Ground breaking was
held on May 2, 1989 and construction was completed on July 8, 1991 . On December 19, 1991 ,
the AragoniYe Incineration Facility commenced incinerating wasYe.
A Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part B pennit application was submitted to
the State of Utah in July of 1987, and a permit was issued to the Aragonite facility on March 30,
1990. EPA Region VIII issued a Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) permit for
tl�e facility on May 4, 1990. The state of Utah issued an Air Quality Approval Order on May 28,
1991 . A Conditional Use Permit was issued on May 16, 1988 . A Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) pennit to store PCB wastes at the facility was issued on November 14, 1991 .

Facility Location
The facility is located in the Great Salt Lake Desert, approximately 75 miles west of Salt Lake
City, Utah in Tooele County. ICs location is wiYhin a 100 square-mile zone established by the
Tooele County Coinmission to be used exclusively for hazardous waste management activities.
The nearest residential neighbor is approximately 45 miles southeast of the facility in
Grantsville, Utah .
W ithin a 30 miles radius and in a southerly direction of the site, the land is used as a bombing
range by the United States Air Force for desert warfare training The Federal Bureau of Land
Management owns Ninety-five percent (95%) of Che land in the surrounding 30 miles.
Climatology - Hydrogeology - Topography
Prevailing winds are generally from the south-southeast. The site is rated as arid to semi-arid
with an annual precipitation of 6 to 12 inches. No surface water is present, and the natural
surface water drainage is northerly. The Aragonite site elevation is 4,670 feet above mean sea
leveL The highest recorded level of tl�e Great Salt Lake is 4,217 feet above inean sea level. The
facility is not in the 100-ycar flood plain.
The Aragonite site is located in the Basin and Range Physiographic Province on a broad, gently
sloping alluvial fan originating frotn the west slope of the Cedar Mountains. The sandy-silt
surface soils, whicl� have developed at the site support native desert vegetation. Minor channels
and rills cross the site, but no major acrive channels are present within the facility boundaries.
Near the site area, the Cedar Mountains are comprised predominantly of Permian and
Pennsylvanian-age limestone. Primarily Quaternary alluvial and lacustrine sand and gravel
underlie the site itsel£ Because the site in located in a transition area between alluvial (stream
channel) and lacustrine (lakebed) zones, the subsurface inaterials were reworked as they were
deposited. Thus, few fine particles (silts and clays) are present near the surface.
No known faults of recent age (less then 10,000 to 12,000 years o1d) are located within 3,000
feet of the site. The closest known fault to the site is located approximately 7,500 feet northeast
of the facility boundary, with an age well in excess of 12,000 years.
No streams or rivers flow within 40 miles of the facility. The nearest naturally occurring body of
water is the Great Salt Lake, approximately 30 miles northeast of the site .
Security
An eight-foot cyclone (chain-link) fence secures the site's property. A security guard is present
during normal business hours and the facility is secured during non-business hours. Non-
business hour access is strictly limited and controlled.
Warning signs are posted every 200 feet along the perimeter of the site and where needed
throughout the facility.

Bulk waste solids are fed into a feed hopper at the kiln front wall and then enter the kiln through
the solids feed chute. Drumined wastes are fed to the kiln through the container feed elevator
and feed chamber inlet gate. Waste liquids, sludge, aud fuels are fed to Yhe kiln through burners
or lances at the kiln front wall. The combination burner on the front wall of the kiln is a McGill
asse�nbly. Although eacli burner is designed for 50 million Btu/hr, the kiln is designed for a
maximum 80 million Btu/hr heat release including all feed orifices (sludge, bulk solids, and
containers, Iiquid and direct burn).
Kiln temperature ranges from L ,820°F up to as much as 2,200°F to accommodate the wastes
being incinerated and is adjusted to ensure destruction of the inost difficult wastes. The kiln is
operated under a slight vacuum, thereby ensuring that any flow of gas or combustion air in the
feed system into the kiln. This ensures no escape of untreated combustion off-gasses to the
atmosphere.
11
Normal operation of the kiln front wall burner requires only a noininal auxiliary fuel rate to
maintain a stable flame. Fuel oil is used for preheating, post heating, and for supplementing
waste fuels to ensure that the kiln temperature is maintained at the value required for waste
destruction. Direct burn material is pumped to a lance directly from a 660-gallon vessel referred
to as a direct burn vessel. This direct burn mode is used to process corrosive or chemically
reactive materials. Direct burn tankers and pressure cylinders are commonly used to deliver
direct burn material to the kiln .
The kiln front wall is stationary. The machine joint, between the face and the rotating drum, is a
close tit and is supplied with a counter-weighted seal. Part of the combustion air is supplied
around this interface to prevent any outflow of feed materials or combustion products. The kiln
discharges into the afterburner chamber through a similar rotating-to-stationary connection.
The afterburner chamber provides sufficient volume to hold waste gases at high temperatures to
attain the required residence time (2.0 seconds) and also provides a place ro feed liquid wastes,
wl�ich do not require the kiln incineration conditions. The afterburner chamber operates at
2018°F - 2400°F.
The afterburner is equipped with two 80 million Btu/Hourburner assemblies (McGill
combination burners), which are located on opposite facing walls. Each burner is equipped to
inject:
• Aqueous waste streams through the aqueous spray nozzles
• Liquid wastes through the two liquid guns in tlle burners
• Fuel oil through the liquid guns in the burners
• Propane gas connected to the pilot on the burners
In addition there are connections for atomizing air and combustion air in the afterburner. The
total designed heat release in the afterburner chamber is about 80 million Btu/hr, which
represents a wide range of waste and supplementary fuel firing combinations.
Depending on the heat rate being fired in the kiln, the afterburner chamber heat release is turned
down to maintain a maxiinum of L40 million Btu/hr for the wl�ole system.
Gases exiC the afterbun�er chamber into the hot duct. A relief vent is located at the highest
elevation of this duct, which activaYes to vent the system and shut down wasYe feed under certain
plant upset conditions. Under vented conditions, there is a net inflow through all unsealed
openings. Auxiliary fuel is injected to continue the combustion process of solid waste material
still located in the kiln during any cutoff of waste feed and/or shutdown .
Gas Scrubbing
Combustion gases from the afterburner chamber enter the spray dryer at a temperature of
between 2,018°F and 2,400°F. In the spray dryer, neutralized scrubbing solution from the
downstream scrubbers plus make-up water are sprayed into the hot gases, cooling them to about
400°F, and evaporating all of the incoming water so that the dissolved solids are left as dry
crystalline solids.
12
A portion of the dry solid inaterial separates in the spray dryer and is discharged through the
spray d�yer airlocl< to a hopper. The gas then flows to the baghouse where the remaining solids
are filtered out of the gas stream. As the cakc builds up, the pressurc drop across the baghouse
increases.
The bags are periodically pulsed with compressed air on the discharge side to remove solids,
which then fall into the baghouse hoppers through the baghousc airlock. The solids removal
equipment reduces solids content at very high efficiency down to an expected level below 0.02
grains per dry standard cubic foot (dsc fl corrected to 7% oxygen.
Gas from the baghouse at about 350°F travels to the sahirator, where a water solution is sprayed
into the hot gas to reduce its temperature to saturation (about 170°F). An excess of water is
used, and the excess is drained to the wet scrubber neutralization tank and re-circulated. The
saturated gas flows inYo the wet scrubber, a two-staged packed bed design, where the upward
flow of gas is contacted with downward sprays of water solution. Again, excess solution is used
with the excess draining to the wet scrubber neutralization tank and is then re-circulated.
The circulating solution from tl�e neutralization tanks has an alkaline pH (6 to 11 ) and reacYs with
the acid content of the gases, removing at least 99% of the HCI (forming sodium chloride),
approximately 95% of the chlorine, and at least 90% of the SO (forming sodium sulfite). The
majority of the HCl and Cl� are retnoved in the saturator and the first stage of the scrubber, and
the majority of the SO is removed in the second stage of the wet scrubber, although a portion of
each gas is removed in both scrubbers.
The temperature of the gas stream is further reduced to 140 to 150°F in the scrubber, which
causes the majority of the water in the gas stream to condense and results in a much smaller
volume of gas to treat in tl�e doumstream electrostatic precipitator.
Gas from the scrubber h-avels to the wet electrostatic precipitator where acid mists/aerosols are
removed. These aerosols pass through the upstream baghouse as a vapor and then condense at
temperatures in the scntbbers. The mist forms in the saturator and scnabber as the gas condenses.
The gas enters a chamber containing evenly spaced Hastelloy rods with Hastelloy stars to
promote electrical discharge. The electrical voltage difference between the wire and tl�e tube
wall creates a static charge on the particulate and condensed aerosols.
Droplets of condensed water and these particles move to the tube wall where they are collected
on the wet surface. The water and these particles drain down to the wet electrostatic precipitator
tank. Excess water is continuously purged to remove the scrubber material to the neutralization
tank. The wet electrostatic unit also provides efficient particulate removal from the waste gas
during start-up when the baghouse is by-passed and removes fine particulaYe during normal
operation.
The gases are discharged to the atmosphere via a 150' high FRP stack The stack is five feet in
diameter. Stack instruments include an annubar to measure velocity, CO and C0z instruments to
measure combustion efficiency, and Oz analyzer. In addition, NOx is part of the Continuous
Einission Monitoring (CEM) system.
13
The scrubber neutralization tank receives fresh neutralizing reagent solution. The neutralizing
agent is soda ash (NazCO3), which is dissolved and pumped to the tank. Fresh solurion mixes
with process water, which is drained from the saturator and scnxbber. The soda ash solution is
added in two stages to obtain close pH control.
In addition, each stage is under the control of a pH instrument to ensure sufficient alkalinity to
remove sulfur dioxide to the required efficiency in the scrubber.
The neutralized solution from the neutralization tank is re-circulated to tl�e saturator and wet
scrubber for cooling and for acid gas absorption. Another portion of the neutralized solution is
pumped to the spray dryer by the l�igh-pressure water pumps and becomes quench fluid. This is
where dissolvcd salts are spray-dried and removed from the system.
The stream from the wet scrubber re-circulation pump is cooled in a plate and frame rype heat
exchangcr, wherc circulating cooling watcr stream absorbs the process heat. The cooling water,
in its tw-n, is cooled in a conventional cooling tower. This "closed loop" cooling system prevents
water that has becn in contact with thc hazardous waste or eftluent gases from contacting the air
directly in the cooling tower.
Waste Residue
Slag from the kiln and diy salts from the spray dryer and baghouse are sampled and manifested
off-site to a Utah/EPA approved faciliry. There is no liquid effluent from the process since
scrubbing liquors are re-circulated through the gas cleaning train.
Other Facility Buildings
Other facilities on-site include a maintenance building, administrative building, truckers'
lounge/receiving office, and a storm water collection system.
Transportation
The Clean Harbors transportation network owns and operates hundreds of tractors, vans, tankers,
and flatbed trailers for transportation of hazardous waste and PCB solids and liquids. Some of
the major terminals are located in Los Angeles, CA; San Jose, CA; San Diego, CA; Phoenix, AZ;
Seattle, WA; Salt Lake City, UT; and Houston, TX.
All tractor-trailers are provided with required personal protective and emergency spill clean-up
equipment. Drivers participate in driver safety training programs as well as annual hazardous
materials and waste training programs.
Wastes are also accepted from common carriers.
To accominodate rail sl�ipments, a rail siding located nearby at the Clive facility allows for direct
transportation of gondolas, inter-modal containers, and tank cars. The Clive facility is used for
surge-capacity storage as well as transshipment of materials from 100-ton rail cars or 20,000-
gallon bulk tankers to Aragonite.
14
Types of Waste
The Aragonitc facility is permitted to handle, treat and store a wide variety of hazardous and
non-hazardous waste streams. The facility can treat most RCRA waste codes with exceptions
(such as Dioxin and Carbamate Codes for sYorage only). Waste codes that are prohibited for
treatmenY at Aragonite can be rouCed through the facility as a ten-day transfer station to be
managed at another facility permitted to handle the code.
The faciliYy is also one of the few disposal sites in the western region of the United States that
can safely and effectively manage TSCA waste or those waste streams containing contamination
from Polyclilorinated Biphenyl (PCB). Other disposal capabilities available at Aragonite are the
management and treatment of explosive and reactive wastes, medical wastes, household
hazardous waste and industrial waste.
The facility also offers the destruction of materials requiring special handling or surveillance (i.e.
witness burns). Such special handling allows specified generators or agencies to monitor the
receipt, handling and ultimate disposal of their confidenrial v1d sensitive materials.
Laboratory Services
The Aragonite laboratary operates according to the facility's Waste Analysis Plan (WAP) and
Qualiry Assurance (QAP) plan, both of which meet all OSHA, EPA, State of Utah standards,
State of California, and National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP).
The laboratory is an integral part of the incineration process.
The Aragonite laboratory has the necessaiy instrumentation, trained personnel and procedures in
place to perform waste analysis evaluation (pre-acceptance, incoming fingerprint, pre-burn, and
post-burn).
Pre-Acceptance Waste Evaluation
To receive approval for incineration of a waste stream, generators must submit the following:
• Aragonite facility approval of waste data sheet.
• Mutually agreeable contract terms and conditions.
• Credit approval and mutually agreeable payment terms
Upon receipt of the above-mentioned items, Customer Service and laboratory personnel compare
the generator's submittal with the facilities:
• Acceptable Waste Codes
• Operational Capabilities
• Safety restrictions
15
When it is detennined that Aragonite can safely process a waste streain, tl�e profile enters the
system. If a pre-acceptance analysis is required, Aragonite will notify the generator. When pre-
acceptance analysis is completed or the profile enters the system, a confirmation is inade for:
• Operational Capabilities
• Constraints Safety Restrictions
After confirmation, the waste is approved and the Customer Service team issues a profile
approval IetYer and a quotation for disposal , at which time the waste stream may be scheduled for
shipment and receipt at the Aiagonite facility.
Incoming Waste Evaluation
Shipments must arrive at the Aragonite faciliry gate with the following information:
• Generator EPA ID number
• Transporter EPA ID number
• Manifest (properly completed) and LDR form
• Profile waste stream number (assigned by Clean Harbors)
At the Aragonite transportation-receiving unit, each load is evaluated to confirm tl�e presence of
the above-referenced items. The load is then received for sampling, and the Aragonite laboratory
personnel perform incoming analysis.
If no significant discrepancies are noted, the waste may be accepted for handling. With this
confirmation, the load is now approved for off-loading.
NOTE : The manifest paperwork must reflect all EPA waste codes identified with the waste,
along with any special safety handling infonnation.
Pre-Burn Waste Evaluation
Prior to mixing (waste blending), operations personnel evaluate the waste to determine optimal
incinerator performance and establish target blend mixes. Following this evaluation, a blend is
formulated, sampled and sent to the laboratory for pre-burn analysis.
Pre-burn analysis is the final verification that the potential waste feed meets all applicable permit
and operational conditions. With this verification, the blend is approved for incineration.
Should this analysis reflect a permit or operational problem, the waste must be re-blended,
sampled and analyzed.
16
Post-Burn Residue Evaluation
After operations personnel receivc prc-burn approvals, a burn plan is implemented and
appropriately executed. The purpose of this burn plan is Co optimize the unit and to track waste
codes going into and coming out of the unit to ensure compliance with applicable land disposal
restriction (LDR) sCandards.
Residue (slag, spray dryer residue, baghouse dust) leaving the uniC is sampled and sent to the
Aragonite IaboraCory for LDR testing. Should the slag fail any standard, the residue will be re-
incineraYed.
Tf the waste residue meets all organic LDR standards, the residue package is consolidated and
sent to the Grassy Mounfain Facility for review and approval . Upon acceptance by Grassy
Mountain personnel, the residue, with all applicable paperwork, is h�ansported and disposed of in
a RCRA/TSCA pennitted landfill cell.
Container/Tank Storage/Transfer
A wide variety of wastes not acceptable for on-site treatment can be received for consolidation
and transfer to other Clean Harbors' sites or select audited and approved non company-owned
sites. The facility includes starage areas far tanks and containers meeting all RCRA
requirements.
Railcar Storage/Transfer
The faciliYy has the ability to receive, store and sl�ip railcars of l�azardous waste. The starage
area meets all RCRA requirements.
Hazardous Waste Fuels Blending
The facility processes hazardous wastes that �nay be burned for energy recovery as a hazardous
fuel. The types of wastes processed include: non-halogenated organics, high BTU lean waters,
non-halogenated oils, organic liquids with halogens and halogenated multi-layered organics.
The fuels blending process utilizes a series of mixing tanks, pumps and liquids to produce a low
viscosity liquid hazardous waste fuel.
Container Management
Methods of treatinent in containers may include neutralization, solidification, product
adulteration, carbon adsorption and blending compatible wastes. RCRA regulated liquids are
consolidated and shipped off-site for incineration. Container treatment and storage occurs in
several permitted areas throughout the faciliry.
17
Waste Tracking
Aragonitc manages approximately 10,000 units per month. With these individual units there are
at least 15 separate transactions that must be logged when those units are unloaded, sampled,
analyzed for specified constituents, transferred to storage locations, moved between storage
locations, inventory ve�itied periodically, and ultimately processed or incinerated.
Inspections
Inspections are conducted daily, weekly, and monthly and are recorded on appropriate checklists.
Any exceptions to standard conditions are recorded and repaired on a schedule, which ensures
protection of human health and the cnvironment.
The facility inspection plan addresses the types of problems inherent to the materials handled and
the equipment and structures used in the hazardous waste incineration process. Equipment and
structures are generally classified as follows:
• Safety equipment
• Emergency cquipment
• Fire protection equipment
• Security devices
• Treatment facilities
• Housekeeping
• Storagetanks
• Material transfer equipment
Frequency of inspection is based on expected deterioration rates and the realistic probability that
any equipment malfunction or failure could impact human health or the environment. Areas
subject to spills (i.e., loading and off-loading facilities) are inspected daily. Containers are
inspected when off-loaded and daily while in storage.
Employee Training Program
The Aragonite training program allows employees to understand the processes and materials
with which they are working ai�d the associated safety and health hazards. Facility personnel
through successful completion of classroom training, on-the job training, seminars, and/or short
courses meet both RCRA and OSHA 1910.2 10 training requirements. Training takes place both
on and off-site.
All new employees receive initial classroom training including: company overview,
preparedness and prevention, contingency plan, regulatory review, cheinistry of hazardous
materials, DOT placarding and hazardous materials recognition, principles of safety, confined
space entry, instrumentation, waste identification and segregation, industrial hygiene, toxicology,
respiraYoiy protection, personal protective equipment, decontamination, and emergency response.
In addition, each etnployee receives specific training regardin� his/her job duties. Training is
updated on an annual basis, with a minimum of eight hours per person per year.
18
All employees learn appropriate procedures for emergency response. In addition, Spill
Response, Fire Response, and Medical Pirst Responder groups receive specialized training.
Thcsc employecs respond to all emcrgencies and hazardous matcrials relcascs as dirccted by the
site emergency response coordinator designated in the facility contingency plan.
Each employee must demonstrate competence throughout tl�e training process. Written tests,
along with attendance sheets, job descriptions, training requirements, training history, and on-
the job certificates, are kept in employees' files and maintained at the facility.
Health and Safety
The Aragonite Health and Safety staff continually strives to improve employee participaYion by
holding regular meetings, providing frequent trainin� and updates, and by involving employees
in every aspecY of plant operation and improvements. Employees must be involved in all aspects
of Process Safety Management, Process Hazard Analysis, and during operational and equipinent
changes which inight then require Management of Change be coinpleted.
Employees are provided continually updated training modules as required by regulation and are
offered additional training tailored by position. All training modules are current, fresh and
interactive.
Safety programs indude Monthly Safety Meetings, Safety CommiYtee MeeYings, Weekly Safety
Meetings and Tool Box Safety Meetings. Each meeting is tailored to the audience and
interaction is encouraged. Frequently, employees liold their own safety meetings in response to
site incidents. Such meetings allow employees to express concerns, leam about corrective action
implementation, suggest alternativas and stay abreast of new information that otherwise migl�t
take a few days to filter to employces. The safety prograins developed by Aragonite have
resulted in nearly 3 years without a lost-time accident. The Lost Workday Incident Rate is 1 .92
for 2002.The Experience Rating is 0.58.
Health Surveillance
Aragonite conducts a complete program in health surveillance. The prograin includes pre-
employment, continuing employment and exit employment physicals and health monitoring.
The Health Surveillance program includes:
• Pre-Employment Physical
• Employment Physical upon Hiring (Protocol 1)
• Annual Physical for Site Workers (Protocol 2)
• Exit Physical
19
Safety Programs
A major element of the Aragonite hazard reduction program is personnel safety and personal
safety procedures. Safety meetings with and by the various operations groups are conducted at
least monthly throughout the facility. Mcdical, Spill and Fire Responsc groups meet at least
iroonthly to conduct training and to discuss safeYy issues pertinent to their disciplines.
Safety awarcness and safety incentive programs are ongoing at Aragonite. A qualified Health
and Safety Officer coordinates safety activities at the site, conducting safety training and site
audits as necessary. A written site-specific program is in effect at the facility. Both corporate
and site-specific health and safety policies are part of [he overall safety program.
Persona] protecrive equipment distributed at the facility includes, but is not restricted to:
• Safety hats, goggles and/or safety glasses
• Hearing protection (ear plugs and muffs)
• Protective footwear (leather safery shoes and chemical-resistant rubber safety boots)
• Protective ouYwear (Tyvek�, Saranex 1z , Chemrel�)
• Appropriate respiratory protection (includes air-purifying respirators, self-contained
breathing apparatus and air-supplied respirators)
Emergency equipment includes:
• Portable fire extinguishers located throughout the site
• Fiist aid supplies
• Emergency oxygen
• Spill clean up and containment material
• Heavy equipment
• Sprinkler and foam protection systems, fire hydrants for the site
• Spill response trailer
Aragonite strives to continually improve site responses to emergency situations. With the
distance outside emergency assistance must travel to arrive on-site, there is a strong incentive to
train site personnel to the greatest extent practical to respond to site emergencies ad emergencies
associated with surrounding facilities.
20
Emergency Responders
Aragonitc has approximately 17 First Responders trained for on-site emergencies. The number
of First Responders fluctuates with employee shift scheduling, employee retention and refresher
status.
Aragonite has approximately 11 Emergency Medical Technicians trained for on-site and off-site
emergencies. The number of EMT' s fluctuates with employee shift scheduling, employee
retention and refresher status.
Aragonite provides mutual emergency aide to Grassy and Envirocare when requested. Aragonite
is also tasked by Tooele County SherifPs Department to respond to incidents along I-80 within
15 miles of Exit 56 wl�en Tooele County assistance is not available.
Aragonite has equipment permanenUy stationed on-site for on-site and off-site emergencies. An
ambulance with much of the same equipment available on commercial ambulance services is
maintained on-site. Additionally, a fire truck is positioned on-site with sufficient capacity and
equipment to handle the majority oPsite emergencies.
Emergency Medica] Technicians and First Responders utilize the ambulance and Fire Truck
when responding to site emergencies.
Site Fire Protection Systems
Aragonite has a completely self-contained fire protection system for the plant storage,
administration and working areas. The systetn provides fire inonitoring, indications and alarms
for all site buildings, and provides automatic fire fighting capability for specific areas.
Contingency Plan
The Aragonite Ineineration Facility contingency plan is developed in accordanee witl� 40 CFR
264, Subpart D, and describes the actions facility personnel will take in response to fires,
explosions, or any unplai�ned release of hazardous waste or constituents to the environment.
The plan identifies emergency coordinators and describes their responsibilities with respect to
initiating and implementing the plan. The emergency coardinators designated in the plan are
authorized to commit the resources necessary to ensure successful , expedient implementation.
All necessary public facilities and agencies have been identified and are an important part of the
contingency plan. Each organization is provided with a copy of the eontingency plan, whieh is
routinely updated as necessary. Emergency response drills are conducted periodically at random
and include drills for fires, explosions, spills, and other potential emergencies.
Aragonite has requested assistance from outside agencies twice. The Emergency Contingency
Plan was implemented once for a brush fire that approached the perimeter of the facility in
August 2000. The plan was implemented a second time following a telepl�oned threat in
September 2001 . In both instances outside agencies were requested, provided assistance and
departed. Both instances were not related to waste activities. Both instances were not related to
waste activities.
21
5.0 Closure Plan
A comprehensive facility closure plan has been developed in aeeordance with RCRA
requirements and is available at the site for inspection upon request. A Certificate of Insurance
guaranteestinancial assurance forclosure.
In accordance with 40 CFR 264. 143 and 40 CFR 761 .65, Clcan Harbors Aragonite, as the owner
and operator, is required to provide financial assurance necessary to close the facility at some
time in the future. The purpose of this assurance is to guarantee that a third party can perform
closure if for some reason; Clean Harbors is unable to do so. As specified by boCh RCRA and
TSCA permits, the dollar amount is detem7ined and guaranteed. This figure is updated at least
annually in response to inflation, and as often as needed to reflect changes at the facility.
22
6.0 Insurance
Clean Harbors and its subsidiaries maintain General Liability and Automobile Liability
insurance with aggregate limits of $30,000,000. The Company purchases Environmental
Impairment Liability insurance for its ' wasYe facilities with limits of $30,000,000 insuring Che

Facility History
ln 1980 the Highway 36 Land devclopment Company a wholly owned subsidiary of Browning
Ferris, Inc. purchased 5,760 acres in southeast Adams County, Colorado to site a hazardous
waste management facility. In August 1983 Che Adams CounYy Commissioners issued the site a
Certificate of Designation. In March 1987 the Colorado Department of Health issued tl�e RCRA
portion of a Part B Permit In April 1987 the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) issued the HSWA portion of the Part B permit. The site was the first coinmercial
hazardous waste landfill permitted under tl�e passage of the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments (HSWA) of 1984. ln a press rclease the 6PA said: "A combination of location,
operating procedures and more stringent regulations puts the Highway 36 facility into a different
dimcnsion than older land disposal facilities. Treatmcnt of hazardous wastc prior to disposal is a
particularly important aspect of any land disposal operation today. The pennit we have issued
includes numerous precautions to ensure tl�at the wastes which go into the secure landfill cells
will stay there."
After nearly a decade of development, Concord Resources Group, Inc. acquired the facility.
Concord opened the facility on July 1 , 1991 and received tbe first shipmenY of waste on July 23,
1991 .
Rollins Environmental Seivices, Inc. ( 1994)
Laidlaw Environmental Services, Ina ( 1996)
On May 20, 1998, Safety-Kleen Corporation becaine a wholly owned subsidiary of Laidlaw
Environmental Services, Inc. (LES). In order to take advantage of the tremendous inarket value
of the Safety-Kleen trade name, LES began conducting business as Safety-Klcen Corporation.
As such, on July 1 , 1998 Laidlaw Environmental Services (Deer Trail), Ine. changed its name to
Safety-Kleen (Deer Trail), Inc. The name change reflected adopting the Safety-Kleen trade name
by the corporation. With the exception of this name change, no other change occurred to the
physical plant, key personnel or operational procedures. The regulatory agencies that issued
facility permits, licenses, or other approvals were properly notified of the name change. Any
required applications, fees or additional information was also subinitted to the appropiiate
regulatory agencies.
In June 2000, Safety-Kleen filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter I 1 oY the Bankniptcy
Code. As a result, the Chemical Services Division (CSD), which included the Deer Trail Facility,
was sold to Clean Harbors, Inc. on September 6, 2002. As such, all of the Deer Trail Facility' s
permits were changed to reflect the changed in ownership.
On December 21 , 2005 the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issued two
documents to the Clean Harbors Deer Trail Facility:
A Colorado Hazardous Waste Act Permit Renewal, and a Radioactive Materials License.

Site Characterization
The following provides information regarding land use around thc Deer Trail facility, ncarest
surface water body, climatologic, 100-year flood plain, hydrogeology, geology and
environmental monitoring.
Land Use
The Deer Trail facility is on fonner unirrigated fannland. The surrounding property is used for
unirrigated production of dry land wheat, sunflowers, and grasslands for grazing cattle. There
are no residential areas, industrial areas, schools, colleges, hospitals, convalescent homes, or day
care centers within a 1 -mile radius of the facility. There are no towns or cities with a population
greater Yhan 10,000 persons within a radius of 31 miles of the facility. The only community
within a 10-mile radius is Last Chance, which is an unincorporated town with a population of
approximately 15 people.
Surface W aters
The Deer Trail facility area is characterized by broadly rolling topography. Nearby small creeks
are in relatively widc flat areas. The facility is drained by a tributary to Beaver Creek to the east
and Wetzel Creek to the west. The facility is well drained with little rainfall run-on. The surface
slope of the facility ranges trom flat to about 6%.
Climate
The clitnate of the eastern plains of Colorado is classified as continental steppe, characterized by
cold winters, liot sttminer days and cool nights, abundant sunshine, and low but variable
precipitation. The annual average rainfall at Deer Trail is 14 inches and the evaporation rate is
58 inches per year.
100 Year Flood Plain
A flood plain analysis was perfoimed for the confluence of the Beaver and Wetzel Creek
drainages. Results of that study, based on a 100-year flood depth of 22 feet above the average
stream elevation at the confluence, indicate that the lowest part of the faciliry is at least 93 feet
above the predicted floodplain elevation.
Hydrogedogy
Regionally, the Denver Basin encompasses several ground-water aquifers located
stratigraphically above the Pierre Shale. The principal aquifers in the western and central
portions of the Basin are the Fox Hills Sandstone, Arapahoe/Denver Formation, and Dawson
Formation. These geologic units have been eroded away at the site locatioi�; the uearest ouYcrop
(the Fox Hills Sandstone) is approximately 10 miles west of the faciliry. The Ogallala Formation
is the primary aquifer in the eastern part of the Basin; the site is approximately 20 miles from the
eastern-most outcrop of the Ogallala Formation. Becau� all repional apuifershavebcen eroded
away, the facility is peologically and hydraulically i�lated. Ground-water flow in the regional
aquifers is generally to the east. The Denver-area aquifers are recharged by precipitation and
infiltration at outerops in the extreine western portion of the Basin. In the eastern portion of the
Basin, the Oga11a1a Formation is recharged at outcrops extending over eastern Colorado,
southwestern Nebraska, and westem Kansas.
5
Based on historical characterization activities at the facility and the current ground-water
monitoring prograin, tl�e hydrostratigraphic units underlying the facility have been classified in
diffcrcnt zones as follows:
The L3 Zone (the sand lens occurring in the surficial Silty Clay Unit);
The L4A Zone (the interface between Che su�cial Silty Clay Unit and the underlying weathered
Pien-e Shale);
The L4 Zone (the interface between the weathered Pierre Shale and the unweathered Pierre
Shale);
The LS Zone (the uppermost waYer-bearing unit beneath the facility; defined as the uppermost
saturated portion of the unweathered Pierre Shale); and
The L6 Zone (the first occurrence of saturated eonditions in the alluvial drainages outside the
compliance boundary).
Monitoring wells have been installed in these hydrostratigraphic zones to assess ground-water
conditions and quality beneath the faciliry. The wells included in the facility-monitoring
program are labeled in accordance with the zone classification presented here (e.g., L3 Zone well
numbers begin with L3). Eight LS wells comprise the detection monitoring program for the
facility and fulfill Yhe ground-water monitoring requirements in 6 CCR 1007-3, SubparC F, Part
264 for �ennitted hazardous waste disposal facilities. The L3, L4A, L4, and I,6 wells comprise
the inspection-monitoring program for the facility, and supplement the regulatory-required
detection inonitoring well network. Additional wells were installed in the I,4 and L4A Zones as
part of the RCRA Facility Investigation of the closed brine pond associated with the Jolly-Axtell
#2 oil well. These wells, referred to as the BP wells, are inside and outside the northern
wmpliance boundary. Water quality data from the BP wells has been used historically in
establishing part of the background water-quality database. These wells, however, are no longer
included in the facility-monitoring program.
The facility has conducted extensive ground water monitoring. Of the 120 monitoring wells at
the facility, most of which l�ave been monitored since 1986, 85 are dry. Water has never been
detected in any of the L3 wells. Further, water levels for many of the L4A, L4, and L6 wells
were consistently below the screened intervals (i .e. , only minor amounts of condensation was
observe,d in the 5-foot-long sumps below the screened inteivals). Water detected in most of the
L4A and L4 wells near the former brine pond has consistently declined with time, which reflects
the cessation of pond use and subsequent elimination of the source of recharge to shallow groLind
water. Water levels in several L4 wells near Ce112 have increased, which probably reflects the
focused recharge of precipitation through the unlined cell base during the time the cell was
unlined. The only zone that consistently contains water, and therefore can be periodically
monitored with respect to ground-water quality and historical water level trends, is L5 . The
early water levels measured in LS Zone wells were erratic, indicative of the slow recovery of the
wells between quarterly sampling events. However, since 1992, due to a longer period between
sampling events, the water levels appear to be more consistent than the earlier measurements
indicate.
6
In general, the quality of ground water beneath the facility is poor (i.e., contains elevated
concentrations of tota] dissolved solids [TDS]), primarily due to ( 1 ) historica] brine disposal
practices associated with production from the Jolly-Axtell #2 and Zexco-State # 1 -36 oil wells,
which affccted water quality in the L4A and L4 Zones along the northcrn compliance boundary,
(2) dissolution of evaporites and weathered components of the Silty Clay Unit and weathered
Pierre Shale, which affected water quality in the L4A and L4 Zones, and (3) long residence times
(e.g., the LS Zone). Tn addition to elevated concentrations of TDS, concentrations of many
inorganic parameters are naturally elevaYed. Mean concentrations of chloride, sulfate, fluoride,
nitrate, selenium, and manganese are elevated in many of the wells at the faciliry, and often
exceed drinking water and/or agricultural standards.
The various hydrostratigraphic units beneath the facility have disYinct ground-water chemisYries,
which further indicates the lacic of hydraulic connection between the limited areas of saturation
in the L�4A and L4 Zones and the uppermost continuous water-bearing zone (i.e., the LS Zone) in
the unweathered Pierre Shale.
Ground-water quality data trom the monitoring wells at the facility are classified in six distinct
groups for characterizing the composition of ground water and evaluating potential impacts fi-om
hypothetical releases from the secure cells. The well groupings were developed from a
comprehcnsive evaluation of hydrogeologic properties (depth to water, proximity to brine pond,
etc.) and water chemishy data using standard geochcmical techniqucs such as conshuction of
bivariate plots of the major ions and trilinear diagrams, and evaluating the appropriateness of the
well groupings using a multivariate staYistical procedure referred to as a discriminant function
analysis.
The well groupings appear to separate wells based on their position relative to the evolutionary
flow path of the brine pond seepage. Ground water becomes more concentrated in solutes as it
moves laterally and vertically away from the brine pond through tl�e subsurface, apparently as a
result of the travel (i .e., residence) time in the subsurface geologic units and subsequent
dissolution of tl�e abundant evaporitic (gypsum, anhydrite, etc.) and other minerals. The shallow
seepage waters lowest in TDS concentrations are from the wells near the brine pond. Although
this seems counterintuitive, the brine pond liquids were actually very dilute, and the term "brine"
is a misnomer. Results of chemical analyses on water samples collected from the former brine
pond from January 1981 to February 1984 indicate that the oil-field water had an average TDS
concentration of 1 ,879 milligrams per liter (mg/L), whieh is much lower than true brines (TDS
concentrations greater than ] 00,000 mg/L). Only after the seepage migrates downward and
away from the fo�7ner brine pond does the water increase in TDS, through the dissolution of
evaporite minerals along the flow paths, and take on the characteristics considered typica] of
saline waters (i .e., TDS greater than 10,000 mg/L). None of Yhe ground water at the facility
approaches the composition of a true brine.
Group 1 wells, which are the shallow L4A wells adjacent to the former brine pond along the
northern compliance boundary, are the shallowest and screen the least geocheinically "inature"
shallow ground water at the Facility. Group 1 wells generally exhibit low concentrations of most
major cations and anions. The wells in Groups 2 and 3 , which monitor water quality in the
dissipating brine pond seepage pluine, are generally fartl�er from the brine pond than Group 1
wells, or tl�ey are screened at greater depths. Group 4 wells produce the deepest of the "shallow"
7
waters at the facility, and monitor water related, at least in part, to fonner oil-field activities. The
wells in Group 4 that are along tl�e western compliance boundary adjacent to Ce112 are generally
the deepest of the shallow wells and produce the most geochemically "mature" shallow water at
the faciliry. The concentrations of most major cations and anions increase from the levcls in
Group 1 (and Group 6 wells, wl�ich are discussed below) to the concentrations exhibited by wells
in Group 4.
Concentrations of major ions in Group 5 wells, the deep wells in the unweathered Pierre Shale
(i.e. , Level 5), are generally quite diffarent from the concentrations observed in shallower wells
at the facility.
The concentrations of major anions and cations in Group 6 (Level 6) wells are relatively low and
similar in many respects to Group 1 wells. Group 6 wells, which arc in shallow geologic
materials in surface-water drainages outside the compliance boundary, are presumably subject to
a greater recharge of dilute incident precipitation and shorter residence times than other wells at
the facility. As a consequence, ground water in the Group 6 wells exhibits low concentrations of
major ions.
Environmental M onitoring
The following is a d�scription of some of the enviromnental monitoring systems at the Deer Trail
facility.
L�chateCdledion and Removal Systems
Leachate collection, Leak detection, Permanent sump and removal systems (LCRSs) are
designed to intercept and collect liquid migrating downward through the waste towards the liner
system. Landfill LCRSs are monitored for the presence of liquid on a daily basis. When the
liquid level in the sump approaches 12 inclies in depth, tlie liquid is pumped from the sump.
Ground Water Monitoring
Water level measurements and LCRS samples are collected quarterly. Groundwater samples are
collected se�roi-annually.
Groundwater and LCRS samples are analyzed for the following chemicals:
• General chemistry parameteis (e.g., cl�loride, sulfate, TDS, EC, pH, etc)
• Metals (e.g. arsenic, barium, chromium, lead, etc.)
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method 8260
• Organochlorine pesticides by EPA Method 8081
• PCB ' s by EPA Method 8082
• Chlorinated Herbicides by EPA Method 8151
• Organopl�osphorus Pesticides by EPA Method 8141

RCRA Permit and Radioactive Materials License
The permit renewal authorizes continued hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal at the
faciliCy for anoYher five years. There are two significant additions included in the permit. They
are:
1 . Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastes >S0ppm from TSCA regulated remediation and clean-
up projects (Mega Rule Waste), and
2. Wastes contaminated with limited concentrations of naturally occurring radioactive materials
(NORM).
The license authorizes thc receipt, posscssion, processing and disposal of naturally occurring
radioactive material for five years. The types of wastes to be accepted include:
1 . Contaminated soils and debris containing naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM)
from cican-up projects, and
2. Industrial by-products that contain technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive
materials (TENORM).
Radioactive materials accepted for disposal will have to meet all four of the following criteria:
• Waste contaminated with uranium and thorium decay series naYurally occurring radioactive
materials;
• Maximum total concentrations less than 2000 picoCuries per gram (pCi/g);
• Specific Radium-226 concentrations less than 400 pCi/g;
• Total Uranium and Thorium content less than 0.05 percent by weight (500 µg per gram).
Clean Harbors has implemented a Radiation Protection Program and a number of standard
operating procedures that keep exposures to workers and the public as ]ow as reasonably
achievable (ALARA).
The annual radiation exposure to workers from these materials is estimated to be less than 100
millirem per year (mR/year). Colorado regulations require Clean Harbors to keep the annual
radiation exposure to the public to less than 100 mR/year. This is less than the approximately
350 mR/year of background exposure that the general public receives from the natural
radioactivity that is in the state' s environment.
Principal Operating Licenses/Permits
Copies of existing permits which detail types of waste management licensed capacities and waste
types accepted are available for inspection upon request at the site. Selected pennit pages may
be attached at the end of this audit under Appendix 8.0.

Container Management Building
The container management building is located in the southeast section of Creatment building. Tt
is separated from the treatment building by a coinmon wall, where the shredder is located. One
of the advantages of tliis layout is to pass the waste directly into a mixing basin in the
solidification building for treatment when shredding drums. The maximum capacity of the
container management building is 33,000 gallons ( 11 ,000 gallons for Class I /II wastes and
22,000 gallons for Class III wastes).
Container StorageArea A
Container storage area A is located east of the maintenance building in tl�e southeast corner of
the process area. The maximum capacity of container storage area A is 2000 cubic yards.
Container StorageArea B
Container storage area B is located west of the treatment building. The maximum capacity of
container storage area B is ] 000 cubic yards.
Storage Tanks
The facility is permitted to store hazardous wastes in the following tanks. Each tank and/or tank
system is equipped with the secondary containment system that was conshucted to be
sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills, and accwnulated precipitation until detected and
removed.
Contaminated Water Tanks
The contaminated water tanks are two above ground, dish-bottomed, steel tanks. The tanks are
lined with Tenemac Series 104 epoxy coating.
The tanks were constructed with an additional one-eighth inch con-osion allowance added to
each of the minimum thicknesses. The maximum capaciry of the tank is 250,000 gallons each,
far a maximum total capacity of 500,000 gallons.
Operations and M aintenanoe Aocumulation Tanks
The Operations and Maintenance Accumulation Yanks ("O & M Tanks") are two underground,
fiberglass tanks. The interior shells of the tanl<s are lined with a chemical resistant vinyl ester to
minimum thickness of 100 mils. The tanks have a minimum shell thickness of 0.22 inch. An
additional 0. 12-inch corrosion allowance has also been added to the initial thickness of each
surface. The maximum capacity of each tank is 4,000 gallons. The tanks are located adjacent to
the operations and maintenance buildings.
14
Permitted Secure Cell Area
The facility is permitted for seven secure disposal cells. The cells have the following
approximate volumes:
Cell 1 : 173 ,000 cubic yards (closed)
Cell 2 : 220,600 cubic yards (closed)
Cell 3 : 480,240 cubic yards (active)
Ce114: 491 ,480 cubic yards
Cell 5 : 472, 120 cubic yards
Cell 6 : 433,840 cubic yards
Cell 7 : 466,320 cubic yards
The total maximum permitted ca}�acity is 2,528,000 cubic yards. Currently, Cell 1 is closed and
capped. As of December 21 , 2005 Ce112 has approximately 24,740 cubic yards of airspace
remaining. Cell 3 is partially constructed. All the cells are excavated to have the entire floor set
on unweathered Pierre shale. The construction features of Cells 1 and 2 are described in the
following:
Liner System for Cells1 and 2
The base liner system from bottom to top consisting the layers that are: 3-foot compacted clay,
80-mil HDPE geo-membrane liner, geo-composite leak detection system, 3 -foot compacted clay,
80-mil HDPE geo-membrane liner, geo-composite leael�ate collection system, 1 -foot sand, and
2-foot compacted protective soil. A pennanent sump is installed under the leak detection sump
and consists of gravel surrounded by geo-textile fabric.
The side-slope liner system from bottom to top are 41 /2-foot compacted clay, 80-mil HDPE geo-
membrane liner, geo-composite drainage layer, 3 -foot compacted clay, 80-mil HDPE geo-
membrane liner, geo-composite drainage layer and 1 1 /2-foot protective soil layer.
L�chate Cdledion S�rstem
The leachate collection system for Cell 1 is located on the base of the cell and consists of ten
laferal pipes and one header pipe. Nine of the lateral pipes are connected to the header pipe and
the remaining Iatera] pipe drains into a 36-inch diameter reinforced concrete riser pipe that rises
vertically of the sump, and the concrete riser pipe was extended vertically as the secure cell was
filled.
The leachate collection system for Ce112 consists of two leachate collection pipes that drain to
the leachate collection sump and a layer of geo-net that extends across the base of the secure cell
beneath the geo-textile layer, covered with gravel, and the geo-textile cushion is wrappe,d around
15
the graveL There are three leachate collection systein clean-out pipes and a geo-net flush pipe is
located in die corner of the cell near the access ramp and along the toe of the access ramp slop.
The leachate collection systcm drains and is assessed by a 24-inch HDPE riscr pipe placed the
corner of the slope. Leachate enters the pipe through a 19-foot pipe that was placed at the
bottom of the sump. The HDPE pipe used far the access of the leachate collection system,
leachate detection system, and permanent sump consists of a one-foot perforated section wifh a
perforated HDPE end cap at ihe bottom of the pipe.
Leachate Detedion System and Permanent Sump
The leachate detection system and permanent sump for Cell 1 is accessed by 14-inch diameter
HDPE riser pipes placed near the corncr of the cell on a 2 : 1 slope.
The access for the leachate detection system and permanent sump on Cell 2 is through the 18-
inch diameter HDPE risar pipes that were trenchcd into the corner of the cell. The liquid in the
sump enters the pipe that is placed along the bottom of the sump through a perforated section of
the pipe.
Air HandlingSystem
The two air handling systems consist of a bag house unit that has a filtering capability of
approxiinately 99.4% efficiency and a 2% potassium pennanganate packed column scrubber that
is designed to have a VOC remova] efficiency of at least 95%.

Facility History
The site was used for industrial purposes as a petroleum refinery beginning in 1921 . The last
owner was American Oil Company which discontinued operations in L972. In 1974, the El
Dorado faciliry opened and began limited operations. In L977, the facility received a permit
from the ADEQ to incinerate hazardous waste. In 1981 , the facility became one of tl�e first
companies in the United States authorized under the EPA to destroy PCB' s and PCB
contaminated waste by incineration.
In 1985, Clean Harbors EI Doradds RCRA Part B application was submitted to the ADEQ.
Effective July 2, 1988, Clean Harbors El Dorado facility achieved the milestone of becoming one
of the nation's first commercial incineration facilities to receive its final Part B permit The Part
B permit issued by ADEQ in conjunetion with the EPA Region VI authorized Clean Harbors El
Dorado to destroy RCRA and CERCLA wastes for a period of 10 years. In December, 2006,
Clean Harbors El Dorado submitted its 10 year renewal permit which was fo�md administratively
complete. Thatpermitrenewal was granted in March, 2008.
Facility Locale
The site is located east of El Dorado in Union County, Arkansas. The main gate of the facility is
approximately 5,000 feet south of the intersecfion of Arkansas Highway 63 and US Highway
4
167. Clean Harbors El Dorado owns approximately 370 acres; however, only 50 acres are
cuirently utilized for active waste management.
The nearest residential neighbor is approximately %z mile west of the site. Various industries
barder the facility to the north while natural forested areas form the south and east borders.
Downtown EI Dorado is approximately 1 -'/� miles west of the site.
Climatology and Regional Hydrogeology
Prevailing winds are generally from the south. Average rainfall at the site is approximaCely 60
inches.
The Clean Harbors EI Dorado site is supplied by city well water. The nearest city well waCer
source is located within approximaCely 1 mile of the site aY a depth of 755 feet.
The nearest surface watercourse is Boggy Creek, a tributary of Bayou de Loutre, running through
the eastern portion ofthe site. Clean Harbors El Doradds discharge to this watercourse is that of
on-site accumulated stormwater and treated groundwater. Hazardous waste is not treated in Yhe
wastewater treatment plant. All waste is handled on site. The facility is approximately 240 feet
above sea level.
Surface water run-on and run-off is controlled by a series of open channels and diked retention
ponds. Stormwater that falls over non-active plant areas is retained in several retention ponds
until it is pumped into the wastewater treatment plant. The water then enters an oil and water
separator. Before the water moves through a sand and clay filtration system, the pH is adjusted
and flocculation is utilized to remove suspended solids present in the watar. After the mctals are
removcd the water is sand filtered. The pH is readjusted and the water is air stripped before being
routed through an activated carbon filtration system. Treated water is discharged into Boggy
Creek under an NPDES permit. The average rate of discharge is 250,000 gal loi�s per day.
Active portions of the facility are located outside the 100 and 500-year floodplains of Boggy
Creek. The facility is not located in a recharge zone of a sole-source aquifer. The uppennost
aquifer underlying the Clean Harbors El Dorado El Dorado site is the Cockfield formation which
consists of alternating zones of fine sands inter-bedded with clay lenses to zones of clean, fiue
sand without day. Formation thickness ranges from approximately 150 feet in the northwest area
of the site to about 200 feet near Boggy Creek. The ratio of sand to clay varies in the inter-
be,dded zones of the formation. Clay lenses range from less than one inch to more than several
feet in thickness and are discontinuous. Laboratory permeability tests were perfonned on
selected formation samples collected during a hydrogeologic study. The results typically
indicated values ranging from 10- 3em/sec for sands to 10-9cm/sec for clays.
The Cockfield fonnation overlies the Cook Mountain forn�ation, also being a part of the
Claibome group. The inajor components of the Cook Mountain formation are shale and clay.
Because of its thickness and low penneability, the Cook Mountain formation is a known
confining layer separating the Cockfield from the deeper Sparta formation.
Groundwater occurs in all layers discussed except the Cook Mountain formation with water
occurring throughout the entire Cockfield formation. General groundwater flow is to the
southeast There are no underlying aquifers that are hydraulically interconnected with the
Cockfield formation at or near the Clean Harbors El Dorado site. Clean Harbors El Doradds
5
facility has installed over 100 monitoring wells across the facility. These are sampled and
analyzed quarterly.
Regarding the Seismic Standard, the facility is located in Union County, Arkansas. The facility
location is not listed in 40 CFR 264, Appendix Vl; therefore, no further information is required
to demonstrate the facility's compliance with Che seismic standards of the federal regulation.
Security
Access to the Clean Harbors EI Dorado facility is controlled by a surveillance system utilizing
guards, operating personnel and surveillance cameras. This surveillance is conducted on a 24-
hour basis, seven days per weel< by Clean Harbors El Dorado security. Natural barriers and a
cyclone fence secure the properry, which is six feet higli and topped with barbed wire. The
north, south, east and west boundaries are fenced and the east boundary is restricted by Boggy
Creek and surrounding bottomlands. The plant boundaries are severed on the east and west sides
by a Missouri Pacific railroad track. Tl�e track has sign placards at each of the facility's
boundaries and on both sides of the railroad tracks. It is monitored by security with video
surveillance cameras.
Security guards man the north gate at all times. Access far all personnel entering and waste
shipped to the site is controlled through this gate. Visitors entering the premises require prior
approval as well as a Clean Harbors El Dorado employee escort.
Security controls utilize both internal and external communications. Internal communications
indude: telephone, mobile radios, CB radios, 2 way radios (hand held), sirens, auto alarms and
pagers. External communications are witl� the local emergency response agencies. Clean
Harbars El Dorado also posYs the necessary warning signs along the siYe perimeter to help
prevent unauthorized access into tbe facility.

Process Description
RCRA liquids are fed into the rotary kilns and the SCC, depending on the specific characteristics
of the waste. RCRA solids and sludges may be received from the customer, packaged for ram
feed into the rotary kilns, repacked by Clean Harbors El Dorado personnel for ram feed or fed
directly into the kilns through an automated shredder auger machine. This system enables Clean
Harbors El Dorado to accept waste that is packaged in any size Department of Transportation
(D.O.T.) approved container.
Liquid waste, natural gas and combustion air are fed into tl�e rotary kilns to initiate and maintain
te�nperature. Two rotary kilns are utilized for treat�nent of solids and sludges. Shredded solids
enter tl�e incinerators via the screw-type auger systetns, or they inay be repackaged for ram feed.
10
The kilns' off gases are passed through individual vertical cyclones where additional ash is
removed. Exiting ash from the kilns and vertical cyclones are collected and stabilized in an
enclosed building. Each batch of ash is Yested to ensure that organic treatment standards have
been rnet. Ash will then be taken to a fully permitted hazardous waste landtill for disposal . AfYer
exiting the cyclone, the gases travel through a duct to the SCC. Additional liquid wastes are
injected in the SCC to inaintain teinperature and react all of the remaining organics with oxygen
to produce water vapor, carbon dioxide and acid gases.
The Resource Recovery Boiler is a single zone combustion chamber, wl�ich is fitted with boiler
tubes that produce steam. The SCC and Resource Recovery Boiler exit gas streams are
continuously sampled and monitared for oxygen and carbon monoxide. The flue gases from the
SCC and Resource Recovery Boiler combine and enter the saturatar. W ithin the saturator, the
gas stream is cooled to below 200 degrees Fahrenheit and acid gases are neutralized with lime
slurry. The resulting calcium chloride and ash solution are purged from the saturator and sent to
the Calcium Chloride Recoveiy Unit. From fhis brine liquor, Clean Harbors EI Dorado produces
a clean calcium chloride solution, which is a beneficial and marketable product. The gases
exiting the saturator enter two condenser columns whose funcYion is to condition the particulate
matter for easier removal downstream. From the condenser columns the gases pass through a
high-energy scnibber on the way to the fabric filter (baghouse). Powdered liine and carbon are
fed into tl�e fabric filter to react and retnove any remaining pollutants in the gas stream. The
high energy scrubber and fabric filter ensure that the final flue gas exiting through the stack meet
all of the emissions standards promulgated by RCRA and the Clean Air Act. Vacuum is
maintained on the entire incineration and air pollution control system by an inducrion fan which
discharges the tinal clean gases into tl�e 195 -foot tall stack.
Clean Harbors El Doradd digita] computer control system monitars (recording and indicating)
and controls the incineration and air pollution control systems. Various key paramctcrs such as
combustion chamber temperature and carbon monoxide are interlocked to automatic systen�
shutdown and waste-feed cut-offs to prevei�t any possible release ofpollutants in the event of a
malfunction. Data from the control system is stored and backed up for our operation records.

Solvent Recyding Program
Clean Harbors El Dorado has constructed a solvent recovery plant that consists of a vacuum pot
distillation unit, heat exchangers, cooling towers and storage tanks. The facility can accept a
variety of organic solvents for recycling. The facility can receive the solvents in drums, totes
and bulk tankers.
The waste solvents are sent for processing through the vacuum pot distillation unit in batches.
By varying the pressure and temperature solvcnt product is recovered for resalc.
Lamp Rec.yding Systems
Clean Harbors Eldorado has a lamp recycling system which processes fluorescent lamps. The
bulbs are crushed and separated into glass, end caps and phosphor powder. The glass and end
caps are sent for recycling.
Storage Faa I ities
Containers:
All containerized wastes are stored in a covered warel�ouse witl� concrete-sumped floors and
loading docks. In addition, all warehouses are also constructed with the required minimum six
inch, continuous curbing and impervious coating. All liquid wastes are pumped into bulk storage
tanks and fed into the incinerators via above-ground piping. No imderground tanks or surface
impoundmenYs are utilized by tl�e facility. Total RCRA solids containerized storage capaciYy is
1 ,448,040 gallons (26,328 55-gallon drums or equivalents).
In addition to the 204 warel�ouse, Clean Harbors EI Dorado has six storage vaults for isolating
containerized wastes. The vaults separate oxidizers and dangerous when wet wastes from the
wastes stored in the 204 warehouse. The vaults have inside compartments with 4-hour rated fire
walls. The vaults also have hard piped automatic 6re detection and suppression systems that
quickly detect and extingi�ish fires.

Tanks:
All storage tanks are constructed of carbon steel and have high lcvel warning and protection
systems. The tanks are explosion protected with nitrogen blanketing and are vented through
activated carbon filters. Secondary containment is provided for cach storage tank which includes
concrete pads lined with 60 mil high density polyethylene liners or concrete dikes with an epoxy
liner. The containment around each tank is sufficient for 110 percent of the tanks ' total
capacity. Only compatible wastes are stored in the same Tanks. Total RCRA liquid tank storage
capacityis 1 , 197,542 gallons.
included in this capacity, Clean Harbors EI Dorado utilizes a "day tank" system of inechanically
agitated RCRA storage tanks which provide consistent liquid feed to the incineration system and
the Resource Recovery (or Waste Fired) Boiler.
Leak detection systems for the tanks include ultrasonic, visual, and automatic detection systems.
Tanks are inspected visually each shift for leaks. Daily inspections are conducted for overfill
protection controls and monitoring equipment. Non-pumpable wastes are inaintained in their
original shipping containers and are stored in the warehouses for feed into the rotary kilns.
Waste Analysis
The purpose of the Waste Analysis Plan (WAP) is to document the necessaiy procedures
undertaken for all wastes which enter the facility for storage, treahnent and disposal. The WAP
delincates the following:
Pre-Acceptance (Approval) Procedures - to determine the acceptability of the waste pursuant to
the facility pennit conditions, land disposal restrictions and waste management capabilities
prior to receipt of the waste.
Receiving Procedures - to fingerprint and verify that ineoming waste shipments match
accompanying manifest and pre-acceptance eriteria under which the waste was accepted.
Waste Management procedures - to assure proper and safe methods of storage, treatment and
inanagement of wastes at the facility.
Lab Metl�odology and QA/QC - to assure that proper methods of analysis, analytical equipment
and qttality assurance programs are being maintained.
Residue Disposal Procedures - to assure that resultant residues ti-om treatment are managed and
disposed of in accordance with land disposal restrictions.
The WAP tracks a waste, starting with the examination of a sample and profile information by
the generator through management at the �Facility and finally, disposal from the facility.
Initial WasteEvaluation
A profile is submitted to the Clean Harbors Central Profile Group. Also submitted include the
following:
• A WMPS form (hard copy or electronic) is prepared which is used to compile information
about the custoiner's waste. The computerized WMPS serves to notify appropriate personnel
14
of the condition under which the material will be accepted. Upon receipt the controlling
source document for tracking purposes becomes the manifest.
• No unknown wastes will be disposed until they are tested and a tl�orough evaluation is made.
Tl�is includes a review of the El Dorado permit requirements, waste characterization and
review of the plant operations that produced thc waste.
• Material Safety Data Sheets are the primary constituenCs of the waste, unless Material SafeYy
Data Sheets are already available at the Clean Harbors EI Dorado facility.
• Any laboratory analyses, technical data, or other information regarding composition,
chemical and physical properties of the waste that the generator may makE available.
• Determination of whether the waste or exCract is restricted from land disposal.
Based on the completeness of the above infonnation, a decision is made whether additional
analyses are necessary.
Pr�Shipment Prooedures
The Customer is norified of acceptancehejection of the waste by a computer message. The
Approvals Group will have entered details concerning typc of material, area of receiving or
storage and type of handling, including any special consideration.
The CSR and Sales Group will follow the proccdures for setting up a customer induding
receiving a fully executed Standard Agreement, signed quote and credit check.
The CSR Group then notifies tl�e customer and sets up a pick-up of accepted wastes. All
necessary information for the shipment is requested by the CSR. If the customer prepares their
own paperwork, the manifest must be faxed to the CSR prior to the receiving date. The CSR will
create a sales order from this paperwark after reviewing for errors thus ensuring the paperwork is
in order before receipt The procedure enables the shipments to be received without any major
delays and is important in minimizing demurrage charges For customers.
Post-Shipment Procedures
Upon entering the facility, the transporter is checked by security at the north gate and directed to
the respective receiving department The paperwork is delivered to the Data Entry personnel
who then eonfirm the infonnation is accurate and correct.
If there aze any inaccuracies or errors, the paperwork is sent to the CSR who warks with the
custoiners to correct any issues prior to receiving.
The correct paperwork then is sent to the receiving warehouse for off loading. The receiving
personnel check waste for gamma radiation regardless of the waste type. Further, they perform a
visual inspection, noting:
• Shipment label match the manifest
• Any irregularities in the shipment (e.g., leaks)
• If the number and type of containers match the manifest
15
• lf the waste appearance matches previously noted descriptions of consistency and physical
state (i .e., solid, sludge, liquid)
Clean Harbors El Dorado screens all incoming shipments by basing key parameters/fingerprints
on these criteria. The °fingerprints" or key parameters may include: hcat of combustion, total
halogen and ignitability; and for liquids, pH, and flash point. These and additional analyses may
be performed subsequent to placement in storage, particularly for wasYe to be shipped to an off-
site TSDF. Metals daCa used may consist of Clean Harbors EI Dorado lab tesY data from either
the shipment receipt sample or data supplied by the customer or a combination. Also, analytical
information may be transferred from other Clean Harbors El Dorado laboratories by facsimile,
electronically, or by hard copy with the specific truck.
The generator must submit to Clean Harbors El Dorado an analysis or updated profile of each
waste stream perforined at least annually.
W aste T radci ng System
Clean Harbors El Dorado has a state-of-tl�e-art computer system that assures accurate wasYe
tracking. Clean Harbors T,1 Dorado utilizes computer systems to ensure detailed waste iracking.
Waste tracking begins when a customer contacts the CSR Group to request a pick-up or schedule
a customer routed delivery of an approved waste stream, and will continue until the waste has
been completely treated and/or disposed o£ Moveinent of each container of waste is tracked by
the use of a bar code labeling system. Pertinent infonnation about the waste is listed on the bar
code. Whenever a container is moved, our employees, using hand-held bar code scanners which
relay the container's new location to the computer system, scan it.
When the material gets to the kiln, the container is scanned. This advanced system also tracks
waste that is sent off-site. Immediately prior to loading a container on a vehicle for shipment
off-site, its bar code label is scanned to record that the material has been shipped to the specific
treatmenUdisposal facility.
Types aF W astes Aocepted
Clean Harbors El Dorado facility accepts hazardous and non-hazardous waste from off-site
generators and treatment, storage and disposal (TSD) facilities. Tl�e wastes accepted indude:
RCRA Regulated Wastes :

Safety and Training
Safety Program
Clean Harbors El Dorado is the creator of an award winning safety prograin. The StAR (Stop
and Reflect) process is a Behavior Based Safety Program that einpowers employees to inonitor
and modify bel�avior to work safely and eliminate injuries. Tl�is process utilizes tl�e StAR card
and the StAR Obseivation Program to enhance safe work habits and track progress. Employees
utilize the StAR card component of the program and Management implements the StAR
Observation portion of the program.
Each employee is trained on the principles of the StAR process and taught to utilize the points of
the StAR as a behavioral habit of how to conduct wark. The employees start with a review of
the principlcs listed below and then movc clockwise through each point of the StAR beginning at
the top. Through Yhis process, the eiroployee identifies and eliminaYes hazards associated with Yhe
job task he/she is about to begin.
Each employee is trained on the Clean Harbors El Dorado' s Injury and Illness Prevention Plan
wl�ich outlines basic safety procedures, contingency plan, and company policies. Training with
regard to employee safety is conducted regularly. Additionally, safety meetings are conducted
daily.
Personnel protective equipment for emergency use is distributed throughout the facility and
includes: hard hats, goggles, safety glasses, steel-toed safety shoes and boots, rain and acid suits,
rubber or plastic aprons, cloth overalls, Yyvek and saranex suits, face shields, appropriate
respiratory protection including dust masks, self-contained breathing ap}�aratus ("SCBA"), air-
supplied respirators and cartridge respirators. Emergency equipment includes :
• Portable fire extinguishers throughout the facility
• Spill control equipment
• Safety showers
• Separate source of supplied air for supplied air respirators and SCBAs
• Emergency eye washers

Site Characterization
Geographic Location
The facility is located in the Great Salt Lake Desert, approximately 75 miles west of Salt Lake
City, Utah, in 7'ooele County. Its location is within a 100 square mile zone set aside by the
Tooele County Commission for hazardous waste activities.
The nearest residential neighbor is in Wendover, approximately 40 miles west of the facility.
'T'he U. S . Army uses the land within a 30-mile radius of the site as bombing ranges by the U . W,
Air Force and for desert warfare training. The Bureau of Land Manage�nent owns Ninety-five
perceut of the land iu the surrouuding 30 miles. The total acreage owned by Clean Harbors
Grassy Mouutain, LLC is approximately 2,560 acres. A little less tl�au 640 acres, the fenced
perimeter of the facility as shown iu the site plan, are authorized for perniitting of waste
management activiries.

Climatology - Hydrogeology - Topography
The isolated location and the dry desert enviroimient associated witl� the faciliry significantly
enhance the effective containment and treatment of waste.
Prevailing winds are generally from the uorthwest. The faciliry is located in au area with a uet
solar evaporation of approximately 42 iuches per year. The nomial aunual precipitation is about
6 inches.
The facility underlain by Recent, Pleistocene, and Quaternary sediments of the ancient Lake
Bonneville bed. This silty clay deposit estimated to be 500 feet thick aud underlain by an
estimated 3,000 feet of valley fill . The shallow aquifer of the lakebed contains no potable water;
the ground water co��tains total dissolved solids in a range of 55,000 mg/1 to more than 100,000
mg/1. The soil underlying the site exhibits high sodium and chloride concentrations and has a
natural permeability ranging from 1 x 10-� to I x 10-� cm/sec. The moderate penneability and
very low gradient results in a slow rate of west-northwest movement of the ground water. The
seepage velocity averages less than 10 feet per year and ranges from a few inches per year to
approxi�nately 30 feet per year. The minimal flow is geuerally located beneath and in proxi�nity
to the landfill cells.
There are no streams or rivers within 40 miles of the facility. 7'he nearest naturally occurring
body of water is the Great Salt Lake, 30 miles east of the facility. Fresh water hauled to the site
froui Tooele, UT, approximately 70 miles to the east. Ground water at the facility is routiuely
mouitored by aualyzing sainples collected fro�n both backgrouud aud point of co�npliance wells.
All monitoring wells have been approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies. The water
quality analytical results include data fro�n 1981 to the present and are available for review at the
fxcility and the Utah Deparmient of Environmental Qualify. Typica] water quality parameters
tested at each well include a large number of organic compounds from the Appendix IX (40
CFR) list, numerous metals, and various general che�nistry parameters.
Security
A six-foot high barbwire topped cyclmie fence secures the active portion of the site. Gates are
used to allow access into and out of the facility. The gates are closed and locked when not being
monitored or in use.
The facility has a fire protecrion system that protects the administration buildings, records
storage and drum waste storage areas in the facility.
Warning sigis are posted at regular intervals (about 100-foot spacing) on the perimeter fence of
the site.

4.0 Process Description
Transportation
Clean Harbors has its own over-the-roxd transportation equipment but also coordinates with a
subcoutractors to quote aud schedule equip�nent trom a fleet of end-duinps, roll-off equipuient,
intennodal containers and tankers. Wastes are also accepted at Grassy Mountain from common
carriers. All tractor-trailers used to transport waste to Grassy Mountain must be equipped with
required persoual protective aud euiergeucy spill cleauup equipulent. Drivers uiust participate in
driver safety training programs as well as annual hazardous materials and waste training
programs.
Bulk solids, bulk liquids and drums shipped by truck have direct access into the facility. Drivers
must be prepared for wark at a RCRA facility. Drivers must be 40 hour OSHA trained and have
their HAZWOPER card available for entry to the facility. Additionally, drivers inust possess the
requisite personal protective equipment', hardhat, safety glasses, steel toed footwear, tyvek suit,
and respirator. Respirator efficiency requires that the drivers be clean-shaven.
To accommodate rail shipments, a rail siding located within 20 miles of the site allows for
unloading of gondolas, intermodal containers, and tanlc cars. Grassy Mountain offers the ability
to ship and receive rail-volume wastes at substantial cost efficiency and increased transportation
safety levels.
ContainerlTank Storage/Transfer
A wide variety of wastes not acceptable for on-site trext�nent can be received for consolidation
and transfer to other Clean Harbors' sites or select audited and approved non company-owned
sites. The facility includes storage areas for containers meeting all RCRA requirements and
tanks and containers meeting all TSCA PCB requirements.
RCRA Waste Treatment
A variety of techniques are used by GMF to treat wxste to ineet LDR numeric and/or technology
standards prior to land disposal. These include pH adjustment and buffering, oxidation,
reduction, conversion to insoluble salts, and chemically bonding elements to an insoluble matrix .
The following technology standards may be achieved depending upon the waste stream : S'I'ABL,
CHOXD, DEACT, CHRED, NEUTR. In addition the facility is authorized to treat hazardous
debris with either immobilization technology listed iu 40 CFR 268 .45 and to physically size
waste as necessary to facilitate treahnent.
Container Management
Bulk and non-bulk containers are inspected, sampled and stored in permitted storage areas
appropriate to the types of waste in the containers. "1'he facility has no bulk RCRA liquid storage
areas. After appropriate inspection and sampling, waste may be sent directly to disposal or
treahnent without being stored. Each waste coutainer is tracked iu the Clean Harbors waste
trackiug system.
] 0
PCB Management
PCB wastes xre either inanaged at the PCB Commercia] Storage Facility or may be sent directly
to a PCB landfill for disposal.
Construction and Technical Specifications
Storage Facilities
All tanks currently in service are coustructed of carbon-steel with manual shut-off systems.
Secondary containment for each tank system consists of either a double-walled tank or of
co�icrete construction designed to handle precipitation from a 25-year, 24-hour storm, plus 100
perceut of the volume of the ]argest tank
Only compatible wastes are stored in the sa�ne tanks. No underground tanks are utilized at the
faciliry.
Tank secondary containment and foundations are configured to allow effective visua] inspection.
Tanks are inspected each day for leaks. Ultrasonic tank wall thickness mouitoring is perfonned
periodically.
TSCA PCB bulk liquids are pennitted for storage in four above ground storage tanks in au
outside tank farm having a total storage capacity of 63,982 gallons and two 3,000-ballon tanks in
the PCB warehouse. Only less than 500 ppinw VOC liquids may be stored in these tanks.
Grassy Mountain maintains separate RCRA and TSCA container management units. Drummed
wastes are temporxrily stored at the appropriate drum management facility and are segregated
according to waste treatment and compatibility. While awaiting treatment, the contaiuers are
stored under roof on concrete slabs with secondary containment.
The RCRA drum dock is pennitted to store 2217 55-gallon drum equivalents. The TSCA drum
storage building is pennitted to store 350 55-gallon drum equivalents.
Disposal Cells
The various cells are constructed and operated to meet or exceed applicable state and federal
regulations. All PCB, industrial, and hazardous waste cells are coustructed above ground level.
PCB (TSCA) Disposal
Grassy Mountain's PCB disposal cells are rypically const�ucted as follows in ascending order: a
3-foot compacted soil liner with a permeability of less than 10-' cm/sec., a secondary 60 mil
HDPE liner, a secoudary leachate detection/ collection syste�n, a primary 60 inil HDPE liner, a
primary leachate detection/ collection system, a non-woven geotextile fabric, and a two-foot
thick protective soil layer. Leachate detection/collection systems drain to sumps far the remova]
of any leachate. The active PCB cells each have a stabilization tank that is used to solidify TSCA
Cell leachate and/or non-hazardous liquids, which are then disposed of as a solid in the cell .

NOTES
1 . " EPA LIST° (Column 1 ) is all EPA Waste Codes found in 40 CFR Part 261 .
2. Must meet Condition I1 . D.7. of this pem�it and other conditions of this WAP for storage
of waste and the waste must be compatible with storage vessel materials of construction.
3 . Must meet LDR Standards (40 CFR 268) or Approved Variances.
4. The volatile arganics in the waste must be < 500 ppmw per subpart CC method or
GMF/Generator knowledge.
5 . For the dioxin wastes marked with an " * ", refer to the Supplemental Waste Management
Plan, Attachment II-8, and Condition II. D.7 .
6. This is not a waste code in Utah until Utah adopts it. When it does, GMF will submit the
moditicatiou requests necessary to be able to continue to mauage waste associated with
this code.
The RCRA / HSWA pennitted Yacilities are separate fro�n the TSCA regulated PCB Comtnercial
Storage and Laudfill Disposal facilities at the site. TSCA Regulated PCB wastes are not
regulated by the State of Utah as hazardous waste but as an industrial wxste. Thus the
prohibitions to types of wastes accepted for ���anagement at Grassy in the RCRA permit extends
to PCB wastes unless the TSCA PCB regulations and/or approvals allow it.
The following excerpt from the TSCA PCB Landfill Approval lists the types of wastes
acceptable for disposal at Grassy Mountain in the PCB Landfills :
A list of approved wastes. These waste listings do not preclude the acceptance of wastes
containing asbestos, or wastes having PCB wncentrations <50 pp�n that are si�nilar to those
listed below. Liquid wastes authorized in this Approval for disposal must first be solidified
according to this Approval prior to disposal in an approved cell .
] . Conta��iinated debris including rags, protective clothing and gear, container ] iners, pallets,
sa�npling apparatus, demolition materials, etc.
2. Empty PCB containers, such as tanks or drums. Drained (if liquid contents < 1000 ppm
PCB), or drained and flushed (if ]iquid contents >] 000 ppm PCB) PCB hydraulic
mxchines. Drained PCB contaminated articles or electrical equipment. Drained and
flushed PCB transfornlers. PCB small capacitors from generators other than those who
manufacture or at any time manufactured PCB capacitors or PCB equipment and
acquired the PCB capacitors in the course of such manufacturing.
3 . Soils containinated with PCBs.
4. Leachate fro�n on-siYe operations of PCB disposal cells, provided the ]eachate is first
solidified in accordance with this Approval.
32
5 . Liquids trom incidental sources, such as precipitatiou, condensation, leachate or load
separation and are associated with PCB Articles or non-liquid PCB wastes, if inforniation
is provided to or obtained by GMF that shows that the ]iquids do not exceed 500 ppm
PCB xnd are not an ignitable waste as described in Sec. 761 .75(b)(8)(iii) or are non-
regulated aqueous liquids. These must be solidified and meet the same requirements for
solidification and disposal of leachate in this Approval .
6. Solid PCBs and non-RCRA regulated solids that are compatible with PCBs.
The Commercial PCB Storage facility may store any waste that is approved for landfill in
the TSCA approved PCB landfills at Grassy. In addition, GMF inay accept wastes for
storage in tanks or non-bulk containers that by regulation may not be ]andfilled. These
include large PCB capacitors, high and ]ow concentration PCB liquids (solvents and
water) as long as they meet the less than or equal to 500 ppmw VOC condition and are
not flammable wastes and PCB transformers. The PCB Commercial Storage facility is
also set up to drain liquids from transformers and to flush PCB transformers.
5.0 Closure Plan
Comprehensive facility closure plxns hxve been developed in accordance with RCRA & TSCA
requirements and are available at the site for inspection upon request. Certificates of Insurance
b arantee financial assurance for closure and post-closure care.

2.0 Facility Information
Facility Overview
Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Clean Harbors, Inc. headquartered
in Norwell, Massachusetts, owns and operates a hazardous waste storage, treahnent and disposal
facility located in Kimball, Nebraska. The Kimball facility is a RCRA-pennitted, commercial
facility for treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste. The site includes a fluidized-bed
incinerator far thermal dcstruction of hazardous waste, a monofill for disposal of delisted ash,
and an analytieal laboratory for waste analysis. The Nebraska Department of Environmental
Quality (NDEQ) conYinuously monitors operations and stack gas emissions via computer link.
The advanced design of the Kimball Facility ensures maximum destruction efficiency of waste.
The residual ash from the incinerator is "delisted," meaning it no longer is regulated as a
hazardous waste under RCRA. No other cominercial incineration facility in the United States is
currently authorized to delist ash. Delisted ash is disposed of onsite in a dedicated monofill.
Although the ash is nonhazardous, the monoYill has been constructed to meet RCRA Subtitle C
requirements.
Heath & Safety
In 2007, the facility received Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Merit status by the
Occupational Safety and Health Adininistration' s (OSHA). Typically, VPP Merit facilities
deinonstrate a strong safety culture from both management and einployees who ensure a safe and
healthful workplace environment. Additionally, facilities that are awarded the certification have
occupational injury and illness incidence rates below thc state and national averages for
companies within the same standard industry classification.

Facility History
The facility was designed and constructed by Waste-Tech Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Amoco
Corporation, in 1993 . In 1994, the subsidiary name was changed to Ecova Corporation. Clean
Harbors purchased the facility from Ecova Corporation in May of 1995. Prior to 1993, the site
was utilized for agricultural pwposes.
Site Characterization
The facility is located on grassland south of the town o1' Kimball . The facility IocaYion is
moderately rolling ground, free of overl�ead and underground obstructions. The topography of
the local area surrounding the faciliry consists of alternating ridges and basins with numerous dry
drainages that experience flows only during heavy precipitation and snow melt. The local
elevation varies generally from 4,795 to 4,896 feet with the lowest areas located in the drainage.
The largcst and nearest local surface water body is Lodgepole Creek located 7 miles north of the
facility. An onsite water well is used to supply make-up water to facility processes. Stormwater
runoff from uncontained, non-process areas flows to drainage north and soutl� of the facility
wl�ich flows to Sand Draw, an intermittent flow drainage to the nortl� and east of the Facility.
Land uses within one-half mile of the facility boundary consist of rangeland for livcstock and
wildlife forage. Surface soils are generally high in calcium carbonates and are not suited For dry
land farming uses. The facility and the surrounding buffer area amount to 640 acres. The active,
I�azardous waste management porCion of the Pacility encompasses approximately 15 acres of
fomially unimproved rangeland. No residences or structures exist within one-half �nile of the
facility.
Security
The Kimball facility is surrounded by fences to control access. Additional security procedures
and equipment include telephones, portable/fixed floodlights, and hand-held two-way radios.
Access by visitors, contract workers, and waste/general deliveiy truck drivers is restricted and
controlled by facility security personnel . The main entrance is manned twenty-four hours a day,
365 days a year. Truck drivers are restricted to vehicle inspeceion, staging or unloading areas
while at tlle faciliry. Personal vehicles are parked in the lot outside the facility's security fence,
and away from hazardous waste management areas.
Signs are legible from a distance of at least 25 feet, and are posted at all gates and along the
perimeter fence, at 200-foot intervals around the entire facility. At least one sign is visible from
all angles of approacl� to the facility. All signs are located at eye level (approximately 5 feet) to
ensure that they are visible. All signs are written in English as English is the predominant
language in the area.

4.0 Waste Acceptance
Waste Analysis
The Waste Analysis Plan for the facility outlincs pre-qualification and on-site acceptance
analysis requirements.
Pre-Qualification
Prior to acceptance and treahnent of a specitic waste, a Waste Material Profile Sl�eet inust be
submitted to and approved by Clean Harbors prior to any waste shipment The waste profile can
be completed and submitted online on Clean Harbors' website at www.cleanharbors.com. A
sample of the waste is analyzed far the following characterization parameters : ash content,
viscosity, ignitability, density, total halogens, corrosivity, dioxin, water reactivity and a metals
screen. The facility will determine acceptability Uased on the waste profile and sample
characterization results.
Once the waste material is accepted for treatment/disposal, this information becomes part of the
permanent record in the generator's file and the waste may be scheduled for shipment.
W astesAcx�epted by the Kimbal I Faal ity
The Kimball faciliry is permitted to accept a wide variery of characteristic and listed hazardous
waste for storage and/or treatment. Wastes accepted inay be stored and treated onsite or
transferred to an authorized offsite waste treatment storage or disposal facility. More specific
information on the types of hazardous waste that may be accepted at the facility is provided
below.
I gnitable Wastes
The Kimball faciliry may accept wastes for storage or treatment that exhibit the characteristic of
ignitability (i.e., flash point less than or equal to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) and cairy the D00L
waste code.
Ca-rosive W astes
The Kimball facility roay accept wastes for storage or treatment that exhibit the characteristic of
corrosivity and carry the D002 waste code.
Under certain conditions, tl�e incineration of chloride or sulfur containing wastes will generate
acid gas. Therefore, concentrations of chlorides and sulfur in wastes fed to the system are
analyzed before the waste is incinerated. Feedrates of these parameters are maintained within
the permit liinits. Any acid gases resulting from the incineration of these wastes are removed by
the off-gas treatment and discharge system before discharge of the gases to tl�e environment.
9
Readive W astes
The Kimball facility may accept for storage or treatment wastes that exhibit the characterisYic of
reactiviry and cairy the D003 waste codes subject to the limitations described in tl�is section.
The Kimball facility may accept wastes with listed waste codes for reactive organic compounds
or hydrazide derivatives. The Kimball facility may accept these wastes for treatment only if the
waste is commingled with other wastes onsite at the generator' s site or the Kimball facility and
the commingled waste does not exhibit the characteristics of reactivity. The waste codes that are
in this category are:
• P068, P105, P112
• U023 , U086, U098, U099, U103, U109, U133
The Kimball facility may accept the above waste codes for storage and subsequent offsite
treatment and/or disposal without performing any commingling to render the waste non-reactive.
Explosive Readive Wastes
The Kimball faciliCy may accept wastes which carry the waste code for an explosive compound,
but have been commingled prior to arrival onsite such that the commingled waste does not
exliibit explosive characteristics as defined by 40 CFR 261 .23 (a) (6), (7), and (8). The Kiinball
facility will uot accept shock sensitive wastes.
Potential explosive reactivity is detennined on waste streams through perfonnance of an oxidizer
screen and evaluation of a flame test. Waste streams with positive (violent) reactions occurring
in both screening tests are not accepted for treatment without quantitative determination of
explosive reactivity by further waste analysis. The waste codes in this category are:
• D003
• K044, K045, K046, K047
• P063, P074, P095, P098, P099, P101 , PL 12
• U133, U234
W astes Exhibiti ng the Twcicity C haraderistic
The Kimball faciliry may accept for storage or h-eatment wastes, which exhibit the Toxiciry
CUaracteristic and carry the waste codes D004 through D043 .
I norganic M etal Bearing Hazardous Waste
Inorganic metal bearing hazardous waste (IMBHW) has been defined as hazardous waste
carrying any of the following characteristic or listed waste codes:
• D004, D005 , D006, D007, D009, D010, D011 ;
• F006, F007, F008, F009, F010, F011 , F0L2, F0l9;
• K002, K003, K003, K004, K005, K006, K007, K008, K061 , K069, K071 , K100, K106;

W asteswith T r�tment M ethods other than I na neration
The Kimball facility may accept for incineration certain wastes with waste codes that list
stabilization as the treahnent method. These wastes are only accepted as commingled wastes in a
form acceptable for incineration. The waste codes in this category are:
• K062
• U214, U215
11
Prohibited Wastes
The following materials are not accepted for storage or therinal treatment at the Kimball faciliCy:
• PCBs (greater than 50 ppm);
• Hazardous Waste Listed as F020, F021 , F022, F023, F026, F027, and F028;
• Radioactive Waste Materials;
• Class A and B Explosives as defined by 40 CFR 261 .23(a)(6)-(8);
• Shock Sensitive Waste Materials; and Biologically Infectious Waste Materials.
On-Site Analysis/Acceptance
With each delivery of approved waste, a sample is taken from the load and tested to determine
whether the waste is the same as the previously submitted sairople. The sample is analyzed for
the Following parameters: physical description (phases/layers, color, physical state), densiYy,
corrosivity, free liquids, flowability, cyanide and sulfide screen, compatibility tests, radioactivity,
water reactiviry, ignitabiliry and dioxin (suspected waste streams only).
If this analysis diFfers significantly from the advance sample, the waste will be deemed non-
confomiing. All nou-conforming wastes are further analyzed to determine the best treat�nent
alternatives, whether on-site handling at an adjusted price or transshipment to an alternative
treatment facility. The customer is contacted regarding any non-confonning waste and given the
option for alternate handling or return of their waste. On-specification shipments are processed
with one or more of the storage or treatment operations previously identified.

6.0 Process Description
Blend Analysis
Prior to incineration, each separate waste feed stream is analyzed far the following feed control
parameters:
• Total Halogen Content;
• Total Sulfur Content
• Metallic Constituent Analysis (Sb, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, Ni, Se, Ag, Tl, Va)
• This data is used to monitor the parameters that limit the feedrate to the TOU.
Incineration
The Kimball facility waste treatment system is a fluidized Ued hazardous waste incinerator
consistii�g of a combustion system, feed systems, an ash handling system, and an air pollution
control (APC) system. Stack gases are sampled and analyzed by a Continuous Emissions
Monitoring System (CEMS). The incineration system is controlled by a computerized
distributed control system (DCS) which monitors and records process and CEMS parameters.
The DCS initiates an Automatic Waste Feed Cutoff (AWFCO) prior to a permitted parameter
exceeding its permit limit. Tl�e high-temperahire destnaction of hazardous and industrial waste
destroys up to 99.99 percent of all hazardous constituents.
Combustion System
The combustion system and ancillary equipment are called the Thermal Oxidation Unit (TOU).
The TOU is a rectangular fluidized bed incinerator consisting of three separate zones called the
primary combustion chamber (PCC), the secondary reaction chamber (SRC), and the prequench
chamber. The TOU is lined with refractory and has inside dimensions of 7S feet wide by 15 feet
long by 59 feet high. Tl�e cross-section area of the TOU is 1 12.5 square feet.
The PCC is the fluidized bed portion of the TOU. The auxiliary fuel, fluidizing air, and the four
main waste feeds are introduced into the system and are thermally oxidized in the PCC. The
SRC allows additional reaction time for complete combustion of the off gases from the PCC.
15
The prequench chamber consists of the top 16 feet of the TOU. The prequench chainber cools
and conditions tl�e coinbustion gases exiting tl�e TOU prior to entering the off-gas treatment
system. Water is atomized into the combustion gascs to cool the gases to a temperature ranging
from 950° F to 1300° F.
Blended fuel oil is used as an auxiliary (nonwaste) fuel for the TOU. Twelve auxiliary fuel oil
nozzles are located around the PCC, which inject fuel oil directly into the fluidized bed. Fuel oil
is injected only afrer the bed temperature has been increased to acceptable levels using preheated
fluidizing air.
W aste Feed S�rstems
The TOU is capable of treating materials from five waste feed systeins:
• Energetic Liquids
• Leanwater
• Dry Solids
• Wet Solids
• Direct Feed
Air Pdlution Contrd (APC) S�rstem
The TOU' s APC equipment includes the following equipment:
• Spray dryer absorber (SDA)
• Powdered activated carbon (PAC) injection system
• Fabric filter
Spray Dryer/Absa-ber (SDA)
The purpose of the SDA is to condition the gases for the fabric filter, to neutralize acid gases,
and to collect and reinove gas-borne ash and dried salts. The design inlet and outlet temperatures
are approximately 1 100° F and 400° F respectively.
Off-gases flow down through the SDA and are sprayed with a lime slurry that provides
evaporative cooling of the off-gas. Neutralization of the acid gases is achieved through
absorption and reaction with the lime. The li�ne slurry is injected in the SDA through a rotary
atomizer. The lime slurry flow rate is controlled to meet acid gas neutralization and gas cooling
requirements. Dried salts and ash collect in the bottom of the SDA and are removed through a
rotary valve and discharge screw to the ash conveyor.
Pawdered Adivated Carbon I njedion S�rstem
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is injected into the off-gases exiting the SDA prior to entering
the fabric filter. The PAC system is designed to control flue gas emissions by mixing activated
16
carbon with the flue gas. The PAC systein consists of a storage container, rotary valve,
volumetric feeder, venturi eductor, and an air blower used to convey the carbon.
Fabric Filter
The fabric filter is a modular dcsign with six independent filter banks operating in paralleL The
filter bags are designed to reiroove particles from the gas stream as it flows through the bags.
ShorC blasts (pulse jets) of compressed air are blown inYo each bag to dislodge and remove the
ash and carbon particulate adhering Yo the outside ofthe filter bags. The particles are collected in
the baghouse hoppers and are transferred to the ash conveyar through rotary valves and
disdiarge screws.
Conti nuous Emissions M onita-ing System (CEM S)
The permanently installed CEMS monitors the sYack gases for the following parameters:
• Carbon monoxide, CO
• Oxygen, O�
• Sulfur dioxide, SOz
• Nitrogen oxides, NOx
• Opacity
• ParCiculate
A sample of the stack gas is continuously withdrawn through a sample extraction and
conditioning system and transported to the analyzers. The carbon monoxide analyzer is a no
dispersive infrared type. Both a paramagnetic and a fuel cell analyzer monitor oxygen. The
sulfur dioxide analyzer is an ultraviolet type. A chemiluminescent-type analyzer determines
nitrogen oxide concentrations in the stack. Stack opacity is monitored using a double pass
chopped beam light system. Particulate is monitored using Tiiboelectric inshumentation.
7.0 Closure Plan
A comprehensive facility closure plan has been developed in accordance with RCRA
require�nents and is available at the site for inspection upon request. A Certificate of Insurance
guarantees financial assurance for closure.
