Permit Deviation Air Emission Limit Exceeded: NA Yes No Emission: Limit: Yes ST4511 Permit Non-Compliance (G.11): ST4511 Permit Upset (S.8): Yes RCRA Permit: Location: Yes Release Amount: No No No 7th Street Staging Area, approximately .5 miles west of 241-C Tank Farm Date and Time of Discovery: 8/22/17 1400 hours Description of Occurrence: On August 21, 2017; two ERDF RO/RO containers were drained of water at a staging area on 7th Street, approximately .5 miles west of 241-C Tank Farm. This discharge is authorized as a miscellaneous discharge under Section S1.A.2.c of permit ST4511. The discharge followed the BMPs listed in Section S4. The miscellaneous discharge was not expected to contain contamination based on a previous radiological survey of soil that had come in contact with similar waters. On August 22, 2017, the routine post-discharge radiological survey identified contamination levels of 1500 DPM/100cm2 beta-gamma in the area of the discharge. On August 30, 2017, the area of contamination was cleaned up, and the contaminated soils and debris are being appropriately managed as waste. As a result of contamination found at the discharge location, this activity is inconsistent with Section S4.A.7. This noncompliance has been categorized as an upset condition, consistent with Section S.8. Per the requirements of Section S.8, a 24-hour notification is required to Ecology. The 24-hour notification should have been made following the August 22 discovery. This notification was missed. This will serve as the notification for the upset condition and a 30-day follow up will be provided to Ecology as required by Section G11.C. Problem evaluation requests have been initiated to document these issues and recommend process improvements. A detailed written report to Ecology will be submitted within 30 days.
