Table I-2-1 EWSF Waste Streams <br />Form 1 <br />Waste Form I 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 <br />Waste Form 2 consists of waste explosives that, because of configuration or composition, are <br />Waste Containers Used <br />best treated by open burning in the open burning pan. Examples are explosive parts and pieces <br />Explosive charges <br />that are generated during explosives formulation, processing, or testing, or that are being <br />removed from inventory. <br />Form 3 <br />Waste Form 3 consists of waste explosives that, because of their configuration or composition, <br />Explosive pieces, powders, and <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 <br />Waste Form 4 consists of waste material contaminated with energetic materials that are best <br />treated by open burning in the thermal treatment unit (burn cage). Examples are paper; rags; <br />explosives safety -approved containers. <br />plastic tubing; dry, expendable filters from vacuum systems; and PPE used in explosives <br />Debris contaminated with <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 <br />Description <br />Waste Containers Used <br />I <br />Explosive charges <br />Packaging is item -specific (based on type, size, and <br />shape of the explosive unit) <br />2 <br />Explosive pieces, powders, and <br />DOT or LLNL explosives safety -approved containers. <br />P <br />3 <br />Filtration systems waste <br />Cotton bags inside poly bags inside DOT or LLNL <br />explosives safety -approved containers. <br />4 <br />Debris contaminated with <br />Poly bags placed into DOT or LLNL explosives safety - <br />explosive materials with potential <br />approved containers. <br />for detonation <br />LLNL Site 300 Contingency Plan 1-2-5 January 2019 <br />Appendix 1-2, EWSF <br />
