Table I-2-1 EWSF Waste Streams <br /> Form 1 Waste Form 1 consists of waste explosives that,because of configuration or composition,are <br /> best treated by open detonation. Examples are explosive assemblies or devices that may <br /> detonate during open burning. <br /> Form 2 Waste Form 2 consists of waste explosives that,because of configuration or composition,are <br /> best treated by open burning in the open burning pan. Examples are explosive parts and pieces <br /> that are generated during explosives formulation,processing,or testing,or that are being <br /> removed from inventory. <br /> Form 3 Waste Form 3 consists of waste explosives that,because of their configuration or composition, <br /> are best treated by open burning in the thermal treatment unit(burn cage). Examples are wet <br /> machine fines generated during explosives processing;wet,explosives-contaminated sludge <br /> from weirs and settling basins;and wet,expendable filters from the re-cycle system. <br /> Form 4 Waste Form 4 consists of waste material contaminated with energetic materials that are best <br /> treated by open burning in the thermal treatment unit(bum cage). Examples are paper;rags; <br /> plastic tubing;dry,expendable filters from vacuum systems;and PPE used in explosives <br /> operations. The waste is judged to retain explosives hazards and is,therefore,considered to be <br /> reactive waste. <br /> I-2.2.4 Explosive Waste Storage Containers <br /> The explosives wastes are stored in a variety of containers depending on the characteristics of the <br /> waste. The types of containers used include explosives-safety-approved,plastic containers, U.S. <br /> Department of Transportation-(DOT-)approved metal or fiber drums, and other approved <br /> containers. Container sizes and type of waste to be stored in each container are outlined in Table <br /> I-2-2. <br /> Table I-2-2 Explosive Waste Storage Containers <br /> LLNL <br /> Waste <br /> Form Description Waste Containers Used <br /> 1 Explosive charges Packaging is item-specific(based on type,size,and <br /> shape of the explosive unit) <br /> 2 Explosive pieces,powders,and DOT or LLNL explosives safety-approved containers. <br /> parts <br /> 3 Filtration systems waste Cotton bags inside poly bags inside DOT or LLNL <br /> explosives safety-approved containers. <br /> 4 Debris contaminated with Poly bags placed into DOT or LLNL explosives safety- <br /> explosive materials with potential approved containers. <br /> for detonation <br /> LLNL Site 300 Contingency Plan I-2-5 January 2019 <br /> Appendix I--2,EWSF <br />
