THIS IS OUR TIME.....DOE!

This is mercury-contaminated product/soil that has been STORED because they have not had a technology to treat it!

3.2.1 Mixed Low-Level Waste Treated By the Balance of Inventory Project
Low-level mixed waste types (Table 3.4) in this section will be characterized and treated
under the Balance of Inventory project including utilizing the private sector under the broad
spectrum contracts or under separate contracts if there are cost and schedule benefits. The
milestones and target dates under the balance of inventory project appear below.
On January 19, 2011, DOE notified TDEC during the quarterly meeting that there were two
populations of waste that were shipped for treatment and needed to be accepted back into storage
due to the lack of treatment available for these wastes and for their inclusion into the STP. On
March 4, 2011, DOE issued a letter to TDEC documenting the two populations, described as
mercury-contaminated waste and reactive waste. During a meeting on September 20, 2011, DOE
proposed to TDEC updating the STP with the addition of a new waste category identified as
Treatment Facility Returns, a new Section 3.2.16 for the new waste category, new MWIR Stream
Numbers M1781 and M1782 to Table 3.4 and new milestones for these waste populations.
During the meeting, TDEC concurred with the updates to the STP proposed by DOE.
FY 2012, 2013, and 2014 milestones - DOE shall accomplish the following:
1. Complete shipment of Classified MLLW and Classified MLLW with Dioxin and Furan
Codes within one year after the appropriate treatment technology becomes available with
the necessary permits and licenses, approval to receive classified material is in place, the
treatment facility is operationally ready to receive the waste, and DOE Safeguards and
Security has authorized shipment of the waste to the treatment facility.
March 2012 19 Revision 16.2
2. Complete shipment of MLLW with Prohibited Codes (Dioxin and Furan Codes) to
treatment facility within one year after the treatment facility notifies DOE that
appropriate treatment technology becomes available with the necessary permits and
licenses, approval to receive the waste is in place, and the treatment facility is
operationally ready to receive the waste.
3. Complete shipment of reactive MLLW to a treatment facility within one year after
appropriate treatment technology becomes available, including necessary permits and
licenses, approval to receive the waste is in place, and the treatment facility is
operationally ready to receive the waste.
4. Complete shipment of mercury-contaminated MLLW to a treatment facility within one
year after appropriate treatment technology becomes available, including necessary
permits and licenses, approval to receive the waste is in place, and the treatment facility is
operationally ready to receive the waste
