The water used in explosives <br />machining operations is passed through a series of filters and <br />clarifiers designed to remove explosives panicles. Water is <br />also used in explosives handling areas for cleaning floors and <br />work areas of any residual explosive compounds. After <br />passing through the filters, the water is disposed of into a lined <br />surface impoundment. <br />Reactive (explosive) <br />Hazardous Properties: <br />Chemical Constituents and Composition <br />Explosives (see Table III -3) 55-83% <br />(Representative for Waste Form): <br />Binders (see Table III -4) 5-1Oc7c <br />Water 10-309c <br />Non-reactives (debris, bags. etc.) 2-15`c <br />Waste Codes: <br />U.S. EPA <br />K044 Wastewater treatment sludges from the manufacturing <br />and processing explosives <br />K045 Spent carbon from the treatment of wastewater <br />containing explosives <br />K046 Wastewater treatment sludges from <br />manufacturing, formulation and loading of lead based <br />initiating compounds <br />K047 Pink/red water from TNT operations <br />D003 Reactive Waste <br />California <br />491 Unspecified Sludge Waste <br />Estimated Quantities (lbs.): <br />63 Monthly average <br />500 Monthly maximum <br />750 Annual average <br />1,500 Annual maximum <br />Handling Process: <br />Storage in containers <br />Treatment.
