26Environmental Performance
27Significant Environmental Aspect Summary
- Regulated Industrial Waste
- Hazardous Waste
- Radioactive Waste
- Mixed Waste
- Regulated Medical Waste
- Atmosphere Discharges
- Liquid Discharge
- Chemical Storage non-rad
- Universal Waste
- Positive Aspects
- Waste Water Treatment
- Building Demolitions
- Recycling
- Green Purchasing
- LEEDS Certification
28Ground Water Contamination
- Operate facilities in a manner that is protective
of groundwater quality - Sewage Treatment Plant (approximately 15 of
treated water recharges directly to groundwater
below filter beds) - Major Petroleum Facility / Central Steam Facility
(petroleum storage and transfer) - Motor Pool (gasoline storage and vehicle
maintenance) - Service Station (gasoline storage and vehicle
maintenance) - Live Fire Range and Shotgun Range (Lead)
- Groundwater surveillance programs are in place at
each facility. Annual monitoring costs
45,000. - Monitoring results indicate that current
operational and engineered controls are
effective. Routine detection of low-level
contamination is from historical operations.
29Spill Trends
NOTE Includes all spills (i.e., reportable to
any agency and non-reportable)
Decrease in spills during FY 2005 is attributed
to the a focus on spills, tool box discussions,
and a better understanding of what spills can be
managed/cleaned up immediately
30Corrective Actions Resulting From Spills
- A diesel generator was stored on soil and its
fuel tank overflowed due to thermal expansion - Replace 10 rule with 75 as measured by fuel
gauge, complete - Designate temporary storage area 610, complete
- Develop a permanent storage area with
containment, in work - Communicate spill prevention practices to BNL
employees engaged in fuel transfers, complete - Develop and deliver a Spill prevention toolbox
for EP, in work
31SPDES
- SPDES Outfalls for which FO is responsible
- Outfall 001 (STP discharge to the Peconic River)
- Outfall 001E, (Boiler blow down from Bldg. 244,
405, etc., reported by the Steam Shop quarterly - Outfall 005 (Recharge Basin HS) receives
predominately storm water runoff, minimal cooling
tower blowdown and once-through cooling water
from the NSLS, the Chemistry Department, and the
EENS Department) - Outfall 007 (Recharge Basin HX) receives filter
backwash water from the Water Treatment Plant. - Outfall 010 (Central Steam Facility (CSF)
recharge basin) receives storm water runoff from
the CSF area.
32SPDES
33SPDES
- FY 05 Exceedences
- Outfall 001 (STP discharge to the Peconic River)
- 2/7/05 total nitrogen concentration of 12.7
mg/L, which exceeds the permit limit of 10 mg/L.
Samples collected by the NYSDEC on February 8 had
similar results of 11.3 mg/L. The composite
samples collected on March 7 and 9, 2005 had
total nitrogen concentrations of 13.3 and 9.3
mg/L respectively. - 3/7/05 total nitrogen concentration of 13.1
mg/L, which exceeds the permit limit of 10 mg/L.
The composite sample collected on March 9, 2005
had a total nitrogen concentration of 9.3 mg/L. - The cause of these exceedances was due to a
normally closed primary valve from the primary
clarified effluent channel that was leaking
significantly. The valve body was separated from
the wall of the concrete channel allowing treated
wastewater to flow back into the effluent chamber
from the secondary clarified. - Corrective action was to temporarily repair the
valve until it was permanently removed and the
effluent piping plugged. The valve was not
needed for routine operations.
34SPDES
- FY 05 Exceedences
- Outfall 001 (STP discharge to the Peconic River)
- 2/4/5 Ammonia concentration of 3.7 mg/L, which
exceeds the permit limit of 2 mg/L. - Considered a one time excursion based on
compliance of additional samples collected. - May be related to previous condition
35SPDES
- FY 05 Exceedences
- Outfall 001 (STP discharge to the Peconic River)
- 3/11/05 total copper concentration of 0.161
mg/L, which exceeds the permit limit of 0.15
mg/L. The composite sample collected on March
23, 2005, had a total copper concentration of
0.046 mg/L. - Considered a one time excursion based on
compliance of additional samples collected. - Outfall 006A (HT Recharge Basins)
- 2/18/05 A sample collected had a pH of 9.39 SU
which exceeds the permit limit of 9.0 SU. The pH
was verified at 9.43 forty minutes later. - The cause of the exceedances was due to an
overdose of hydroxide by the EP Water Treatment
Facility at one of the eastern wells. The
problem had been corrected by EP. - Corrective action was to improve Water Treatment
Facility procedures to improve communication
during abnormal occurrences and to address
caustic additions.

- Total tons of solid waste recycled X 100
- Total tons of solid waste generated
- 61.7 achieved in FY 05
- 48.1 in FY 04
- 37.52 in FY 03
- A tremendous amount of metal was recycled this
FY, thereby significantly increasing the
recycling percentage Future percentage values
will probably not be this high.
39FY 05 Environmental Improvements / Actions
- Purchased approximately 12,000 of mercury free
replacement utility devices such as thermometers
and thermostats (P2 funding). These units will
be replaced in the field during EP maintenance. - Replaced Halon 1211 fire extinguishers (P2
funding) - Cost shared in the following pollution prevention
projects - 901 regulator PCB draining

- Replacement of the 490 animal bedding disposal
system (note this installation work will
continue through the beginning of 06)
40FY 05 Environmental Improvements / Actions
- Purchased 5 aerosol can hole puncturing
assemblies to minimize the generation of
hazardous waste - Installed SONOXIDE treatment on CCWF Cooling
Tower (Reduced Biocide Use) - Recovered 238 pounds of CFC-113 from the Building
511 chiller this is a Class 1 Ozone Depleting
Substance and helps the Lab to meet its EPA
P-Track goal (P2 funding)
41FY 05 Environmental Improvements / Actions
- Purchased an in ground oil/water separator, which
will be installed during FY 06, to capture oils
from a grounds vehicle wash to be located by the
326 complex (P2 funding) - Drained and disposed of 28 transformers, which
were held as spare inventory, thereby minimizing
the potential for spill or leaks. - EP designed, manufactured and installed a
contaminated waste tank for the Central Steam
Facility. This allows the oil tube
heating/cleaning condensate drains to be combined
and flow through a simple type oil/water
separator in case the tube develops a leak.
42FY 06 Planned Improvements / Actions
