This Permit is issued pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. Issuance of this Permit does not convey property rights of any sort or any exclusive privilege; nor does it authorize any injury to persons or property, any invasion of other private rights, or any infringement of state or local law or regulations. Compliance with the terms of this Permit does not constitute a defense to any order issued or any action brought under Sections 3008(a), 3008(h), 3013, or 7003 of RCRA; Sections 106(a), 104, or 107 of the

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., commonly known as CERCLA), or any other law providing for protection of public health or the environment.

MODULE III - POSTCLOSURE CARE FOR TANK STORAGE [SWMU 10, SWMU 14]

MODULE III - POSTCLOSURE CARE FOR TANK STORAGE [SWMU 10, SWMU 14]

Module III.

III.A. MODULE HIGHLIGHTS

This module covers the types of wastes disposed in each unit, anticipated dates of closure, length of post closure care for each unit, planned monitoring and maintenance activities, special features associated with the post closure care operation, and a reference to any special Permit condition. This section applies to the following units:

SWMU 10, also known as the Former Waste OTTO Fuel Sump, is located on the eastern side of Building 930

(see Figure 1-3 in the approved Postclosure Plan) and was used for the storage of runoff OTTO Fuel from the storage tank secondary containment system and of OTTO Fuel wastes from torpedo refurbishing and servicing operations at Building 930. OTTO Fuel was used as a torpedo propellant. OTTO Fuel liquid wastes generated during the overhaul of practice torpedoes consisted of a mixture of OTTO Fuel, spent solvent, water

(approximately 95 percent of the waste), and oil. A network of floor drains and downspouts from building service and storage areas collected the waste OTTO Fuel in the sump. The sump was constructed in 1982 of epoxy-sealed concrete and had a 2,500-gallon capacity. When in operation, the sump was pumped out as needed. The sump and building have now been removed and replaced with an engineered cap. The permittee is currently monitoring a volatile organic groundwater plume downgradient of the former sump location.

SWMU 14, a 2500-gallon OTTO Fuel concrete vault, was used from 1982 until 1994 for the storage of waste

OTTO Fuel II from practice torpedo maintenance activities at Building 58. OTTO Fuel was used as a torpedo propellant. The vault and contaminated soil adjacent to the vault were removed in 1999. The Permittee is currently monitoring and remediating a volatile organic groundwater plume downgradient of the former vault location.

The conditions of this module apply to the general postclosure care requirements for the hazardous waste management units as described below in Permit Condition III.B. The conditions for Corrective Action as required by R.61-79.264.100; Detection Monitoring as required by R.61-79.264.98; Compliance Monitoring as required by R.61-79.264.99 are presented in Module IV of this Permit.
