NITROGUANIDINE PRODUCTION AREA (23) SUMPS, SFAAP-047
SITE DESCRIPTION
The NQ manufacturing facilities are located in
the northwest corner of SFAAP. Construction
of these facilities began in the late 1970s, and
limited production began during 1981. During
August 1984 the plant began production of NQ,
producing approximately 4.9 million pounds in
1985, and 7.7 million pounds in 1986. All of the
buildings had associated sumps which received
the wastewater generated in the NQ Area as a
result of various operations including
washdowns, spills, runoff, and non-contact operations
such as cooling water and steam condensate.
The wastewater may have been acidic,
and may potentially have contained contaminants
such as NQ and GN, as well as raw process
materials or intermediates of the NQ process.
Initial RFI results indicate elevated levels of nitrates
in GW. High levels of sodium was also
detected.

PROPOSED PLAN
A CMS will be completed, including the installation
of an interceptor trench (french drain) to collect
contaminated (nitrates) GW. The water will
be used for irrigation, if possible. Twenty-three
sumps will be excavated and backfilled with clean
soil.
