inspection Report necessary in Building 805, which is located approximately 600 feet northeast of the EWSF LLNL S 300 also generates a variety of hazardous waste through its laboratory and research activities and maintenance operations. The hazardous wastes generated from laboratory and research activities (mainly unusable laboratory reagents and by-products of experiments) and maintenance operations (waste solvents, waste oil, waste paints, etc.) are sent to the Container Storage Area (CSA) located in Building 883. The CSA is a sheet metal roof -covered concrete pad with internal dimension of approximately 49 feet by 34 feet. A 0.5 foot high concrete curb surrounds the slab to contain any potential spills or run-on. The perimeter of the CSA is enclosed by a 6 foot high fence with a locked gate. The maximum container storage capacity of the CSA is 3,300 gallons based on the maximum volume of each container. At CSA, the wastes are prepared for transport to offsite treatment or disposal facilities. Preparation may involve consolidation similar compatible wastes and lab -packing wastes into drums. Hazardous wastes are also stored at the CSA until sufficient quantities are accumulated to allow for the safe and economical transport of the waste to an offsite facility. No treatment is allowed at the CSA or EWSF. The Department inspects aIf permitted units for compliance with Department regulations and with the facility permit.
