APPENDIX E<br />

Containers will be inspected and logged weekly. Weekly inspections will encompass proper labeling,<br />

secure closure, condition of each container, and number of containers. Any signs of deterioration,<br />

leaking, or dents will be noted, and containers will be immediately overpacked, if necessary. Standing<br />

water will be removed from the containment area as necessary. Inspection results will be provided to<br />

Kirtland AFB.<br />

5.3.2 Sampling<br />

The well development, purge, and decontamination water samples will be collected in accordance with<br />

the project-specific addenda, the FSP (Appendix A of the BWP), standard operating procedures included<br />

as Appendix B of the BWP. Analyses specified in Section 2.1 of this plan will be performed to<br />

determine if the water is listed or characteristically hazardous waste. If required, TCLP testing will<br />

include inorganic and organic parameter identification and quantification under procedures set forth in 40<br />

CFR 260.20 and 260.21. In addition, waste anticipated to be discharged to the Kirtland AFB wastewater<br />

treatment system or transported offsite will also be tested as directed by the receiving facility. Samples<br />

will be taken on an as-needed basis when process knowledge or existing analytical data is not sufficient<br />

to characterize the water.<br />

For waste streams determined to be hazardous wastes, a one-quart representative sample of the material<br />

may be required to be submitted to the TSDF with the Waste Profile Sheet for analysis as a part of the<br />

facility's waste acceptance process. A sample may also be required to accompany the Waste Profile<br />

Sheet for special waste.<br />

If water is found to be radioactive waste or radioactive mixed waste, there is no offsite disposal option.<br />

Radioactive and radioactive mixed waste will be containerized and transferred to Kirtland AFB<br />

personnel for further treatment, storage, and disposal.<br />

Environmental water and soil samples which are not suspected of meeting a DOT hazard class are not<br />

subject to hazardous materials shipping regulations. Samples known or suspected of meeting a DOT hazard<br />

class must be shipped in compliance with all applicable DOT regulations.<br />

5.3.3 Storage<br />

The containers will be staged and stored at locations approved by NMED and specified within the<br />

project-specific WMP. All drums will be stored on wooden pallets. Storage of containers holding<br />

radioactive liquid waste will be in a controlled area, as authorized in Kirtland AFB’s radioactive<br />

materials license.<br />

5.3.4 Disposal<br />

Currently the NMED Groundwater Protection and Remediation Bureau, Remediation Section, has not<br />

issued guidance specific to the discharge to the ground of smaller quantities of well development purge<br />

water from investigations. It may be possible to discharge small quantities of well development and<br />

purge water to the ground; however, each case must be reviewed in advance by NMED prior to granting<br />

approval. Approval must be obtained in writing from Kirtland AFB and NMED prior to discharging well<br />

development and purge water to the ground. An NPDES permit must be obtained from EPA Region 6<br />

prior to discharging water to surface water.<br />
