Assurance Manager will be independent of the project analyst. A position
description for the Quality Assurance Manager is attached (Attachment 3).
2-3. The Directorate of Environmental Management (EM) has responsibility for
overseeing compliance with environmental laws throughout the ICBM Product
Directorate including LMAP. As part of this mission they will review all laboratory
reports on the facilities wastes and insure the waste is handled within the provisions of
the permit, EPA laws, and state regulations. In addition they will perform an initial on-
site compliance inspection followed by quarterly inspections.
2-4.The Directorate of Environmental Management (EM) also has responsibility for
base wide environmental compliance. They are the authors of the permit application
and are the point of contact for any permit related issues.
L-2
2-5. The ICBM Product Directorate (LM) is responsible for procuring new batteries
and provided the engin-eering support, through a contractor, for design of the facility.
The contractor who designed the facility was GTE.
SECTION 3 . OA OBJECTIVES
The overall objective of the testing described herein is to evaluate the potential
hazard to the environment of waste generated from deactivation and neutralization of
lithium batteries. Materials generated during the disposal operation will be tested using
established EPA methods. These materials will be handled as hazardous waste until
testing proves them to be nonhazardous as set forth in the permit.
Accuracy is the degree of agreement of a measurement,or avetage of
the salient pointsmeasurements, with an accepted or true value. Listed below are
affecting the accuracy of the proposed measurements.
a. Reference Materials - Only the highest quality materials will be used for
standard reference materials. The standard solutions used in testing will be made from
certified standard solutions.
b. Instrument Performance - The instrument performance will meet those
listed in EPA publication SW-846 for hazardous waste testing. The frequency of
calibration and re-calibration procedures will follow those set forth in the analytical
section of this document.
c. Analytical Performance - The overall performance of the analysis will be
monitored through the regular use of blank samples and surrogate standards. Each
sample will be spiked with a surrogate standard (not already in the sample) containing
each of the metals being tested. The surrogate recovery will be calculated from the
following equation.
Vo recovew = ppm of metal found in sample * l00Vo" ppm of metal added to sample
Surrogate recovery will meet those guidelines set forth in the analytical section of this
document.
L-3
3-3. Precision is a measurement of agreement among individual measurements of a
partiorlar sarnple property. Precision goals for the analyses are for the relative percent
difference (RPD) to be < 20 percent. For the initial calibration the RPD for the analyte
concentration will be < 20 percent over the full range of calibration. The surrogate
recovery will have a RPD < 20 percent.
34. Completeness is the number of samples taken for which results will be obtained.
It is the goal of this project to obtain results for at least 95 percent of all samples taken.
This goal will be attained by adhering strictly to chain of custody procedures, taking
appropriate precautions to preserre samples, and by following the laboratory procedures
set forth in SW-846.
3-5. The major issues of representative samples are addressed in the sampling portion
of this document. The chief concern in laboratory testing is that the sub-samples
subjected to test procedures be representative of &e bulk sample. All samples will be
thoroughly mixed prior to taking an aliquot for analysis.
3-6. Corrosivity samples from this project will be reported in pH units. Total metals
analysis of sludge will be reported in mg/Kg on a dry basis along with percent moisture.
EP toxicity and water sample results will be reported in units of. mg/L. Results from the
analysis of all similar matrices for a given analyte will be reported with each set of
samples.
SECTION 4 - SAMPLING PROCEDURES
4-7. The sampling procedures to evaluate waste from the lithium battery disposal
facility are surlmaized in Table 1. The table indicates sampling frequencies, locations,
methods, responsible sampling personnel, and analysis method.
4-2. Prior to sampling, as indicated in Table 1, the circulation pumps will be run for
at least 15 minutes. This procedure will thoroughly mix the tank and provide a
representative sample of the burst battery and acid water. Samples taken for field pH
analysis will be split and an aliquot placed in a labeled and precleaned 500 ml wide
mouth bottle for duplicate analysis by TIElf. The residual samples from the field pH
test will also be placed in labeled and precleaned 500 mI wide moutl sample bottles for
transport to TIEIf. At the time of sampling a chain of orstody documents will be
initiated for all sanples. It will follou, the sample throughout analysis.
l-4
4-3. Sampling of solid and sludge material deposited in the evaporation ponds and
tanl$ will be accomplished using scoop/shovels in accordance with Table 1. At no point
in time will the solid and sludge material be allowed to accumulate more than 18 inches
in depth. Samples will be taken at three random points tno feet from the perimeter of
the pond and at three random points in the center of the pond. These separate samples
will be combined to form one aliquot for analysis. The sample container will be a
labeled precleaned wide mouth 500 ml bottle.
44. Any free liquids in the evaporation pond will be sarnpled. These samples will be
taken at four random points around the perimeter of the area wetted by free liquids.
Two additional points near the center of the area will be sampled. These six samples
will be combined to form one aliquot for analysis. The sample container will be a
labeled precleaned wide mouth 500 mI bottle.
4-5. Between each sannpling event sarrpling tools will be thoroughly decontaminated.
The sampler will be scrubbed with detergent water using a soft bristle brush, followed by
a rinse with copious amounts of water.
SECTION 5 . SAMPLE CUSTODY
5-1. A sample custody document, Figure 1, will be initiated with each sample. The
document will follow the sample through all phases of transport, storage, ond analysis.
In addition the sample will be logged into the lab and each analyst will sign the log when
they take possession of the sample.
SECTION 6 - CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
6-1. New standards containing each analyte as described in SWS 646 Method 6010
will be prepared quarterly, except silver, which will be prepared monthly.
6-2. The instrument will be set to proper operating parameters as specified by the
manufacturer.
6-3. The instrument will be allowed to become thermally stable before beginning
(this requires at least 30 minutes of operation prior to calibration).
1-5
64. The instnrment will be profiled and calibrated according to the instnrment
manufacturer's recornmended procedures using the calibration standards described in
Step 6-1.
6-5. The solution will be flushed by the calibration blank between standards.
6-6. The average intensity of at least three multiple exposrues of the standards will be
used to generate calibration curves.
6-7. The instrument will be normalized using the manufasturer's recommended
procedures at least once a day.
6-8. Before beginning a sample run, the highest mixed calibration standard will be
run as if it were a sample.
6-9. Concentration values should deviate by less than or equal to 5 percent (or the
established control limit whichever is lower). If not, the instnrment manufacturer's
recommended procedure should be followed to correct for this condition.
6-10. For pH measurements, the calibration procedure will involve the use of nvo pH
buffers which bracket the sample pH. The two buffers solutions will be tested
successively until the two buffer solutions read within 0.05 pH units. The pH meter used
will have an automatic temperature compensator.
SECTION 7 . A}{ALYTICALPROCEDURES
7-1. The deactivation and neutralization tank samples will be tested using an ICP and
an electronic pH meter using procedures set forth in EPA methods: 9040, 6010, 9095,
and 1310 as described in EPA manual "Test Methods for Evaluation of Solid Waste.
Physical/Chemical Methods," 3rd Edition. The test will be run without deviation from
the procedures as outlined.
L-6
SECTION 8 . DATA REDUCTION. VALIDATION. A}.ID REPORTING
8-1. At each stage of the analysis data will be reviewed for completeness and, based
upon previous experience, reasonableness. Any missing data will be provided and
unusual results verified. As much as possible, data reduction will be by computer and
scientific calculator. \Uhere manual data menipulation procedures are required, the
utmost care will be exercised to reduce the resuls. Data reduction will follow relevant
EPA reference methods.
8-2. These tests involve the performance of chemical analpes by one or more
chemists and technicians. For this reason, data validation and coordination are
important. Internal tracking has been addressed elsewhere in the sample orstody
section. At the conclusion of the analyses, the data will be checked against the original
furnished information and the analysis requests to be sure the required tests and analyses
have been performed. The validity of the data will be tested througb the analysis of
blank duplicate and when needed matrix samples. The blank sample results will
demonstrate the absence of laboratory contamination in the samples. Duplicate analyses
glve a measure of analytical precision. Analysis of matrix spike samples permit accuracy.
8-3. The data will be reported as components identified and the quantities present.
The final report will include example calculations where needed and descriptions of the
equipment and procedures. Complete data packages of raw sample and calibration data
will be furnished upon request. A sample report forrr is shown in Figure 2. Field
analysis data witl bL reported on the form shbrvn in Figure 3.
SECTION 9 - INTERNAL OUALITY CONTROL CHECKS
9-1. For each set of samples, a check standard sample containing a knorvn amount of
each analyte will be tested. Its concentration will be in the range normally encountered
during testing. The check standards will constitute a minimum of 10 percent (at least 1)
of the test samples run.
9-2. If the standard does not read to + 10 percent of the known value of each
analyte, the instrument will be renormalized and the samples and standards retested. If
the standard does not read back within the above limits, the instrument will be re-
calibrated. If the problem persists, corrective action procedures will be initiated.
1-7
SECTION 10 - PEPS'oRMANCE AtlD SYSTEM AUDITS
1S1. Performance and system audits wil be performed semi-annually by the project
ual),sq quality assurance man4ger, and/or the laboratory supervisor. Sptem audits will
be conducted before the beginning of the project. This will include verifrcation that the
instnrments are in proper operating conditions and that adequate supplies and spare
parts are on-hand for the project.
lG2. Laboratory performance audits are conducted prior to the implementation of any
new protocol and periodically during the performance of analpes. When available, audit
samples from outside sources are used to measure system performance. Otherwise, in-
house audit samples are prepared and analped.
SECTION 11 - PREVENTATIT/E I,IAINTENAI.ICE
11-1. The preventative maintenance schedule recommended by the instrument
manufacturer will be followed except as noted below.
ll-2. On the ICP, the vacuum system pump oil will be changed as needed with a
minimum of one oil change per year.
11-3. The nebulizer flow rate will be checked daily to ensure it is within the optimum
range as specified by the instrument manufacturer. The nebulizer will be cleaned and
back flushed at least once a week.
ll4. The nebulizer tip wash slntem will be checked weekly, and witl be used to clean
the nebulizer tip after daily analyses.
SECTION 12 . SPECIFIC ROIJTINE PROCEDURES USED TO ASSESS
DATA PRECISION. ACCURACY. AT.ID COMPLETENESS
l2-1. The precision of the analpes will be tested by the following two methods.
a. The first method involves duplicate analysis of each sample mn on the ICP.
Unless the duplicate analyses yield a reproducibility of t 5 percent (or 0.3 ppm
whichever is greater) for each analyte the sample will be re-nrn after re-normalization.
1.-8
b. The second method iryolves the use of duplicate spike samples. For each
set of sa^mples at least 10 percent of the test samples will be run as duplicate spike
samples. For sets of samples numbering less than 10 at least 1 duplicate spike will be
run per set. The duplicate spike samples will be required to have yields of t 5 percent
(or 03 ppm whichever is greater) of their tnre value or they will be re-nm. If re-running
of the samples does not yield the required analytical precision, then the corrective action
procedures will be instituted.
l2-2. The acanracy of the analpis will be verifred by testing a calibration check
standard solution containing knoum concentrations of each analyte. The number of
check standards will be 10 percent of the test sample with 3 minimum of 1. A minimum
of nro field blanls, a trip btantq and an equipment blanh wil be used to check for
transportation and sampling device contaninates, respectively. The calibration check
standard must read t 10 percent (or 0.5 ppm whichever is greater) of its tnre value or
corrective action procedures must be initiated.
t2-3. The completeness of testing will be determined by making a check sample
consisting of a spiked distilled/deionized water solution 6pstaining 5 times the
quantification limit of each analyte being tested. The percent recovery of the spike must
be t 40 percent or corrective action procedures will be undertaken.
124. Field pH measurements will have split samples returned to TIEI-C for duplicate
analysis. If a duplicate analysis varies by more than t 15 percent from the field analysis,
corrective action will be taken.
SECTION 13 - CORRECTIVE ACTION
13-1. Any sample not analped by the specified method will be considered
unacceptable and will be rejected. Re-analysis by the approved method will be the only
acceptable way. Equipment found to be out of calibration or operating improperly will
be repaired or replaced before analpes proceed. Data generated under these
circumstances will be thoroughly examined to determine what repeat measurements are
needed to assure data quality.
l3-2. If weaknesses or problems become apparent during system or performance
audits, corrective action will be taken to remedy the condition. Examples of corrective
actions include re-calibration, maintenance of instnrmentation, replacement of reagents
when analysis blanls are unacceptable, etc.
1-9
13-3. The project analyst and co-workers will be responsible for initiating corrective
action and the quality assurance manager will be responsible for determining if this
action has resolved the problem.
SECTION 14 - OUALITY ASSURANCE REPORTS TO MANAGEMENT
L4-L. Quality assurance reporting and documentation are important elements of final
project reports. Reports provided to customers will contain sections which describe the
quality assurance/quality control activities and criteria relevant to the project. Such
reports will address the impact of these results on disposal, etc.
14-2. The quality assurance procedures used in the analytical prograrns will generate
sufficient documentation to indicate data quality. Assurance results will be included in
the final report. All data generated including the reports will be reviewed by
management, as indicated by Figure 4. All aspects of the project will be discussed
regularly by the appropriate laboratory personnel.
L4-3. All sampling and analysis data and reports will be reviewed, as a further QA
check, by TIELC before submission to the Propulsion Unit or to regulatory agencies.
L4-4. The quality assurance manager will make independent checks of data quality and
reports them to management.
SECTION 15 . DOCUMENT CUSTODY AND FILING
15-1. Copies of all lab reports, chain of custody documents, permits, log books,
operating instructions, and this sampling plan will be maintained for five years by LMAP
at UTTR. These documents will be available for inspection by State or Federal
regulatory agencies upon request. In addition, copies of all lab reports will be routed
from TIELC to LMAP, LMMRO, and EM.

Suoervisorv Controls
The supervisor assigns the programs to the chemist by setting the overall
objectives, priorities, and resources available. The chemist, having several
years of experience in the work, is responsible for planning, scheduling, and
carrying out the assignments;'selecting the specific approach, methods, and
procedur6s to use; and coordinating the work with other ineluding chemists and
physieal science technicians. The supervisor is kept informed of progress and
major problems. The test report is reviewed from an overall standpoint for
being feasible and effectively fulfilling the assignment's requirements.
s
Guidelines
The chemist is provided the general test directive, manuals of established
laboratory procedures and practices, various standard chemical and engineering
references, and agency policies and practices. Current chemieal and
engineering literature is also available to the chemist. Ihe guidelines are
not completely applicable nor specific to the work. Therefore, the chemist
must use judgenent to select, adapt, and modify the guidelines to solve
specific chemical and scheduling problems and to meet specialized test
requirements that are speeified in the general test directive.
Comolexitv
1. The assignments consi-st of planning and carrying out testi-ng programs. It
involves a large variety of complex analysis which may range from organic and
gaseous analysis through i.norganic analysis and plating. Established methods
L-lg
and practices must be eval-uated to select the most appropriate. Ihis process
involves the evaluation and interpretation of information found in the
scientific and trade literature, the information provided by the serviced
activity, and the data produced in the laboratory. Frequently, modification
of the established methods and practlces is necessary to eomplete the work.
2. The assignnents may consist of projects that involve evaluating,
nodifying, and performing lnstrtrurental nethods that are used to anaLyze
materials, metal alloys, and rel-ated products.
3. The assi-gnnrents consist of a variety of requests from the serviced
activities for data and for sol-ucion of chemical problems. Typically, only
the general nature of the problems of the work is known. Ihe work includes
complexities such as scanty infornation as to what a sample may eonsist of,
unusual analytical requirements, and lack of specific scientific literature
concerning the work. Some assignments consist of applying new and advanced
analytical procedures developed for other substances in order to determine the
validity and applicability of the procedures for the analysis of toxic
chemieals, muni.ti.ons, or other related materials.

Arrangements for Emergency Assistance
The UTfR compound is essentially self-suffrcient in terms of law enforcement,
emergency services, and safety. The compound has its own security force and safety
ofEcer, and is serviced by Hill AFB Hospital, with which it maintains direct
communication. A helicopter is available at Hill AFB to transfer personnel to IIAFB
Hospital and to LDS Hospital in Salt kke City or Humana Hospital in Davis County.
The UTIR does have several emergency assistance agreements with other agencies. An
agreement exists with the Utatl State Highway Patrol to evacuate base personnel in case
of emergency. The Higbway Patrol personnel have been acquainted with the UTIR
layout and activities at the facility including the properties of hazardous waites handled
at the rang€ and their associated hazards, places at the facility where personnel would
normally be working, road access to the facility, emergency equipment and facilities at
the range, and evacuation routes. A mutual aid agreement exists between the UTIR
and the BLM for fire protection, and BLM personnel are also familiar with the Range
and its facilities. LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City maintains Ufe Flight capability to take
UTIR personnel to that hospital in an emergency situation. An agreement also exists
with Humana Hospital for airlifting of patients in case of accidents at the UTIR.
Personnel at these hospitals have also been familiarized with the properties of hazardous
wastes at the facilities and the potential injuries which could result from them.

CONNNGENCY PI"AhI
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PIA}I
General
In addition to this plan, the Ogden Air hgistics Center has developed otler contingency
plans for responses to disasters of all tlpes including: Air Force Regulation 93-2 ard
operating plans (HiIl AFB PI-AN 355-1). A Lithium Battery Emergency Response Tea:n
has also been formed to respond to an incident at any of the missile sites, including
6ansportation to and from an installation, and also to an incident at the UTTR.
Scooe
The timely and effective response to spills or niishaps involving hazardous materials is
mandatory in order to provide counter-measures which will eliminate or reduce the
possibility of exposure and contamination of people and resources. This section is aimed
at providing the procedures, instructions, and management structure to achieve this end.
Faciliw Emersencr/ Coordinator
The Emergency Coordinator or his alternate will be available at all times to coordinate
emergency response measures, and will have a copy of this contingency plan. The
primary Emergency Coordinator is in charge of all activities at the UTIR. As such he is
intimately familiar with the facilities and operations of the LBDF. and has the authority
to commit resources ils necessary to carry out this contingency plan. The Emergency
Coordinator will be responsible for insuring that the emergency procedures outlined in
Section 8.4.7 of the Utah Hazardous Waste Management Regulations (UHWMR) and 40
CFR 264.56 are followed. The Emergency Coordinator and his alternate are as
identified below.

Arrangements for Outside Emergency Services
The UTTR complex has its own security police force. However, an assistance agreement
has been entered into with the Utah Highway Patrol to provide on-base assistance to
UTIR security personnel, if required. The UTTR fire department has a fire fighting
agreement with the Bureau of I-and Management (BLM). This agreement allows for
mutual aid betrveen the UTIR fire department and BLM fire fighting personnel. A
medical technician is on site at the UTIR Security Building 5 days a week 24 hours a
day along with a paramedic team. Instant communication can be established with
doctors at Hill AFB Hospital. Emergency ambulance services can be provided by Air
Force helicopters from Hill AFB or Life Flight from LDS Hospital in Salt I-ake City.
Response Procedures
The LBDF includes a storagefdischarge building where serviceable batteries are stored
before deactivatior\ and a deactivation facility where used batteries are neutralized
before disposal. During the deactivation and neutralization process of the batteries,
access to the area is controlled and the entire operation closely monitored. The
batteries arc hazardous due to lithium in the batteries which is reactive (D003) and the
sulfurous acid and hydrochloric acid electro$te which is corrosive (D002).
In the event of a spill or exposure to personnel during battery discharge or during
deactivation of the batteries, the Emergency Coordinator will be notified immediately.
The first action of the Emergency Coordinator would be to assess the extent of the spill
or exposure and to insure first aid is provided to exposed personnel. The next step
would be to notiff personnel at the UTIR complex of the emergency and dispatch the
paramedic unit and needed equipment to the site. Any spill of hazardous materials in
the I-BDF would be confined by using earthwork equipment to build berms or dig
trenches. A spill in the storage/discharge building would be confined to the
storage/discharge building. Soda ash present at either site would be used to neutralize
any spill materials. If personnel were exposed, immediate showers would be applied and
6-3
consultations with Hill AFB doctors and an on-site evaluation by emergency medical
personnel would establish if emergency ambulance procedures would be required. If so,
the exposed personnel would be transported via helicopter to Hill AFB Hospital or LDS
Hospital in Salt I-ake City. After any exposed or injured personnel were under care, the
Emergency Coordinator would transfer neutralized spill material to the evaporation pond
and begin clean-up procedures.
An explosive disposal method has been developed and tested in case a battery cannot be
deactivated following the established procedures. It is not anticipated that this method
will ever be used. However, if it is needed, an emergency permit would be requested
from the Utah Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Wastes and the explosives would be
placed as shown in Figure E1. The UTTR has an interim status munitions open burning
RCRA treatment facility and erperienced Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel in the
2701E;OD Squadron would perform this task.
Evacuation Plan
It in the opinion of the emergency coordinator, an evacuation of the LBDF is required,
the Emergency Coordinator would notiff the UTfR complex by telephone or by two-way
radio and the evacuation would proceed. Personnel in the LBDF area would be notified
of the evacuation by voice signal and vehicle siren.
The evacuation has two possible routes. The main route would be over the main access
road to the site back to the southwest to the UTTR complex. If for some reason this
route was blocked, evacuation could proceed over land to the south to the UTIR
complex.
The LBDF is remote and the hazardous materials present are such that any emergency
would most likely not require evacuation of facilities outside the UTTR area.

Post Emersencv Procedures
Immediately after the emergency condition is over, the Emergency Coordinator or his
alternate shall ensure that any material from the lithium batteries still considered
hazardous are placed in the facilities for treatment. All emergency equipment will be
cleaned and restored before operations are resumed. No additional treatment
operations will begin until all clean-up procedures have been completed and all
emergency facilities are restored to working order. The Emergency Coordinator shall
notrff the Utah Hazardous Waste Committee and other appropriate state, federal, and
local authorities, that the facility has been cleaned up and is ready to resume operation.
The Emergency Coordinator shall record in the operating record, the time, date, and
nature of any incident that requires implementing the contingency plan. Within L5 days
after the incident, he shall submit a written report on the emergency to the Utah
Hazardous Waste Management Committee and EPA The report shall include:
L. Name, address, and telephone number of the owner or operator.
2. Name, address, and telephone number of the facility.
3. Date, time, and type of incident (e.g. fire, discharge).
4. Name and quantity of material(s) involved.
5. The extent of injuries, if any.
6. An assessment of actual or potential hazards to the environment on human health,
where this is applicable.
7. Estimated quantity and disposition of recovered material that resulted from the
incident.
Maintenance of Contingency Plan
Copies of the contingency plan and all revisions to the plan will be maintained at the
UTIR and Hill AFB and by the Emergency Coordinator and his alternate. This
contingency plan will be reviewed on an annual basis and updated as required as
required'by 40 CFR 264.54 and UHWMR. The plan shall be submitted to all police and
fire departments, hospitals, and emergency response teams that may be called upon to
provide emergency services.

CLOSLIRE PLAI{
CLOSURE PI-AI.I
Lithium Batterv Facilities Ooeration
Batteries are stored in the designated storage buildings. During the discharge phase of
the treatment, the batteries are remotely monitored for voltage readings. The batteries
are not stored longer than 90 days prior to deactivation. After complete discharge,
batteries are transported by truck to the nearby deactivation facility. The deactivation
facility has the capacity to deactivate four batteries at a time. There are two, double-
walled polyethylene tanks, where the batteries are placed, submerged in water, and the
battery casings pressured and burst. The battery casings are then flushed by continuously
pumping the water in the tails through the burst casings. The water is then transferred
to a third polyethylene tank where soda ash is added to neutralize the battery fluid and
tank liquids. The burst casings are flushed for approximately 48 hours.
Once the flushing is completed and the fluid is transferred to the neutraltzation tank, the
sludge in the tank is tested for pH, EP toxic, and total metals. The total metal analysis
will include all EP toxic metals and nickel and thallium. Should this sludge be found to
be hazardous it will be treated to be non-hazardous or disposed of as a hazardous waste.
If applicable, the hazardous waste will also be disposed of in a manner consistent with
RCRA Section 3004(d) land disposal restrictions.
The remaining aluminum battery sa5ings are landfilled. Residue from the deactivation
and neutralization tanks is disposed of in accordance with the Waste Analysis and
Research Plans. Sludge in the evaporation pond is loaded into barrels and hauled to
landfill.
Inventorv of Wastes
The initial contents of the batteries before discharge and deactivation is lithium and
thionyl chloride.
Deactivating 12 to 40 submodules per year will require 33,300 to 222,000 gallons of water
(depending upon single or multiple submodule deactivations) and will generate
corresponding volumes of effluent from the deactivation facility. After the battery
submodules have been burst, hydrolyzed and the water (liquid) neutralized, the
remaining water will be pumped into the evaporation pond. According to GTE, the
water and sediments removed from the deactivation of one submodule will contain the
following:
7-l
1. Uthium is present in the fluid distributed betrneen two salts approximately as:
UZSOE 78 lbs.LiHCO3 112 lbs.
2. Aluminum is distributed betrneen two salts approximately as:
Alz(SOg)r 52 lbs.AI(HCO3)3 74 lbs.
3. Nickel is present as Ni3S2 which forms in the acid media to the extent of 54 lbs.
None of the materials identified above are listed by EPA as hazardous waste. The
neutrdized water solution will have a pH of 6.0 to 7.5 Glightly acidic and is non-
hazardous).
The deactivated battery submodule casing will consist of:
1. Metallic aluminum in the submodule frame: 60lbs.
2. Metallic nickel in buss bars, hold downs, and terminals: 9 lbs.
3. Stainless steel case, covers, wires, etc: 65 lbs.
4. Tefzel rails and shims: 21 lbs.
5. Epoxy and carbon remain unchanged: 10 lbs. and 13.3 lbs. respectively.
These deactivated submodule casings will be disposed of as solid waste (non-hazardous).
With the material involved there should be no impact on water qudity from their
ultimate disposition.
The evaporation pond residue and liquid and the submodule casings will be landfilled
off-site. Therefore, no solid wastes will be stored on site.
Events kading to Closure
It is reasonable to assume that the lithium batteries udll be used by the Air Force for a
long time, and as such that the LBDF will remain in operation indefinitely, unless the
Air Force discontinues the use of the batteries, the UTIR is closed doum completely.
The anticipated closure procedure for LBDF is described in the following section.
7-2
Facility Closure
Once the operation on the LBDF oease, no hazardous wastes will remain on the site.
All remaining non-hazardous waste, the battery submodule designs, and the sludge in the
evaporation pond will be landfilled off-site. Clean water will be pumped through the
deactivation facility. The effluent water from this process will be analped. When no
hazardous wastes are detected the deactivation plant will be nashed down and cleaned
with soda ash solution and the last effluent water evaporated in the evaporation ponds.
The LBDF will require no closure activities other than a wash doum once all the lithium
batteries are removed. Since the only hazardous wastes at the site during operation were
immediately neutralized during the plant processes, no major slganing or
decontamination of the site will be required.
Once closure is completed, a certification must be submitted to the state veri$ing that
closure has been completed in accordance with the approved closure plan.
Decontamination of the Facility
No hazardous wastes will remain at the site once operation ceases. Decontamination of
the facility will be outlined under the facility closure plan.
Closure Schedule
No specific date for closure can be established. When closure is anticipated, at least 180
days before closure begins, this closure plan will be submitted to the Utah Solid and
Hazardous Waste Committee. The schedule for final closure is to be completed in detail
for this submission. Closure of the facility will be as described in this closure plan.
Closure is expected to take no more than2 weels, and will be completed within 90 days
of the last operation of the facility. Within 90 days after final closure, physical data
(location, dimensions, contents, etc.) will be submitted to the appropriate county
recorder as directed by Section 8.7.10 of the Utah Hazardous Waste Management
Regulations.
Post-Closure
Since no hazardous wastes will remain at the facility after closure, post-closure
requirements do not apply to the hazardous waste operations at the UTIR LBDF. As
Iong as the Air Force owns the property, access will be restricted. This restriction is
consistent with the overall mission of the UTIR. Sectrity Police would be routinely
monitoring the area whether or not the LBDF site had existed.

RESEARCH PIAI{ & DESCRIPilON
SECTIONl - RESEARCHDESCRIPTION
In order to extend their survival under standby power, the Minuteman Mssile sites on a
scheduled basis will exchange existing lithium thionyl chloride batteries for new ones. As
part of this scheduled exchange, the batteries are treated to be non-hazardous utilizing
existing facilities at UTfR. The treatment involves discharge and deactivation of ttre
batteries.
The batteries are discharged to 7.0 or 0.7 volts (depending upon manufacturer) in a
designated area of the battery storage building. Following their discharge, the batteries
are transported to the Deactivation Facility where the battery cell fillports are opened
and hydraulic lines are connected. The lithium batteries are then placed inside a water-
filled, double walled polyethylene, in ground tank. Using nitrogen and pressurized water,
each of the three cells in a battery submodule is hydrostatically burst so that an opening
is created at the bottom of the battery.
Water is then circulated through the cells. This process hydrolpes the thionyl chloride
and forms sulfurous acid and hydrochloric acid. Several cycles of water are circulated
through the battery. Between each cycle, the water is pumped to a neutralization tank
(center tank) where sodium carbonate is added and the water is mixed until a pH of 6 to
7.5 is measured.
The neutralized water and salt solution is pumped out of the neutralization tank to the
evaporation pond. The evaporation pond is not considered a hazardous waste
management facility because the equilibrium constant for the lithium and acids
neutralization reactions $eatly favor tle neutral products. The liquid and solid matter
in the treatment tanls is non-hazardous after the neutralization process. These
substances will be analyzed to insure they are indeed non-hazardous (see the Waste
Analysis Plan), prior to discharge to the evaporation pond. The salts in the evaporation
pond and sludges in the polyethylene tanls will be recycled if economical, or disposed of
at a solid waste landfill. The remaining aluminum battery casings will be disposed of in
a solid waste in a landfill. Disposal at the UTIR landfill will not occur until permission
for such disposal has been approved by the Bureau.
Deactivation and disposal techniques for the batteries were developed parallel to the
development of the lithium battery by GTE s Wyle I-aboratories, Norco, California. The
chemical steps required in the deactivation and disposal are as follows:
Step 1:
Full discharge to 7.0 or 0.7 volts to remove as much lithium as possible - the chemical
reaction for this electrical discharge is:
1-1
4U + 2SOCI2 = 4UCl + SOZ + S
(Uthium) (Thionyl Chloride) (Lithium Chloride) (Sultur Dioxide) (Sultur)
Step 2:
Hydrolysis of remaining electrolyte - the chemical reaction for this hydrolpis is:
SOCI2 +H2O = SOZ + 2HCl
(Thionyl Chloride) Water (Lithium Ctloride) (Hydrochloric Acid)
and:
SOZ +HZO = HZSOg
(Sultur Dioxide) (Water) (Sulturous Acid)
Step 3:
Neutralization of resulting solution - the chemical reaction for this neutralization is:
H2SO3 + Na2CO3 = HZO+ 2Na2SO3 + COZ
(Sulturous Acid) (Sodium Carbonate) (Water) (Sodium Sulfite) (Carbon Dioxide)
and:
2HCl + Na2CO3 = H2O+ 2NaCl + COZ
(Hydrochloric Acid)(Sodium Carbonate) (Water)(Sodium Chloride) (Carbon Dioxide)
If the submodules should vent through the internal venting system described in
Attachment G, the thionyl chloride (SOCI2) will hydrolyre io the presence of any
moisture to SO2 and HCl, which would be neutralized by the internal scrubber. When
the cell fillports on the submodules are first opened after electrical discharge, small
quantities of gas can escape. However, it is estimated that the total space available for
gas to accumulate is about five liters per submodule; therefore, volumes of emissions
from this source will be extremely small. The gas will be mostly hydrogen (50 to 60
percent) but will also include small quantities of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, argon, and
helium.

DEACTWATION PROCESS DESCRIPilON
LITHIUM BATTERY SPECFICATIONS
The submodule is the basic deliverable battery section of the lithium module (Figure G-
1). It consists of three cells housed in an aluminum weldment. The submodule case is
0.187 inches thick and is made from 5083 aluminum sheet stock. The packaging of the
cells in the submodule housing constitutes a pressure vessel. The cells are centered in
the housing and then completely potted in place by the use of a slmtactic epory foam.
This forms a composite stnrcture that is able to withstand internal pressures without
exceeding the material yield stren,gth of either the cell case or the submodule housing.
This composite constnrction also allows the stainless steel case and the aluminum
housing to work together in resisting shock and vibration The epoxy foam electrically
insulates the cell case from the submodule case as well as providing structural support.
Additional electrical isolation is obtained from plastic buttons that are pressed into the
sides and bottom of the submodule, and the combination of the foam and plastic buttons
eliminates differential motion between cell cases. Hazardous wastes associated with
these batteries are lithium (D003) and sulfurous and hydrochloric acids (D002).
Each cell is equipped with a pressure relief valve that will permit the cell to vent if a
malfunction or external heating causes the pressure to increase above 30 to 33 psig
(Figure G-2). If venting occurs, these emissions are to be routed through Teflon tubing
into a chemical scnrbber on the end of the submodule which neutralizes the emissions.
The scrubber is an unpainted stainless steel box which houses soda lime in a liquid
trap/distribution manifold that is made of nylon. The manifold, in turn, houses three
packets of sodium carbonate (soda ash) to neutralize any electrolyte that is ejected. The
elemental lithium in the battery is hazardous. Once the lithium is converted to an
inorganic salt it is non-hazardous. This occurs as the battery is discharged. The acids
are corrosive and are neutralized with soda ash in the deactivation process to render
them non-hazardous.

not be stored over 90 days so a storage permit is not required. The submodules are
discharged to a voltage of 7.0 volts or 0.7 volts depending upon battery manufacturer.
The design of the discharge building is shown in Figure H-5 (attachment).
The Facility Design Specifications discuss volume markers in the evaporation ponds and
a berm and collection system around the deactivation area. The pond markers are
necessary to assure that adequate capacity exists in the pond prior to additional liquid
introduction and the existence of adequate freeboard to prevent overtopping by wind or
precipitation. The berm and collection system's purpose is to contain and collect any
spilIs, leaks, splashes, etc. that may occur during operation and prevent runoff onto the
surrounding soil.
A.EVAPORATION PONDS
The Uthium Battery Disposal Facility has two evaporation ponds. The small pond has a
volume capacity of 7800 gallons and the large pond has a volume capacity of 255,000
gallons. Permanent volume indicators shall be marked in each evaporation pond that
indicates the pond level that can safely contain the liquids generated from an additional
battery disposal. Additionally, a marker shall be placed 18 inches (I-UZ feet) from the
top of the pond to show when the pond contains the maximum allowable capacity. Each
pond is constructed with double liners and each have inspection areas that show when
the primary liner has been compromised. Figures H-6 and }I-7 (attachments) shows the
construction of the evaporation ponds.
B. CONCRETE PAD AREA
The concrete pad which houses the pumphouses, recycle pipes, and deactivation and
neutralization tanks is bermed with a 6 inch reinforced concrete wall. The berm was
designed to meet the following performance standards:
The berm must be designed and constructed to prevent runoff from spills,
drips, splashes, breaks in pipes or hoses, valve lea}s, etc. The berm must be
high enough to contain one tank volume.
H-2
The concrete pad and berrr must be lined or coated with a material that is
compatible with the characteristic waste and chemicals used in treatment
and will prevent absorption or degradation of tle conctete.
The concrete pad and berm must be free of crack.
C. COLLECTION SYSTEM
A collection system has been designed and construced to collect liquid that may
acctrmulate in the bermed area of the concrete pad. Precipitation tlat is colleoed must
be pumped to the evaporation ponds. Water collected from leals, spills, breals, etc.,
must be neutralized to a pH benreen 6 and 7.5 prior to pumping to the evaporation
ponds.
H-3
SECTION 3 - FACILIY I,OCAIIQIN INFORI\{ATION
The Utah Test and Training Renge (UTIR), EPA ID #IJT570[Pr0001, is located
approximately 55 mils5 west of Salt lake City, Utah and north of Interstate 80 (Figures
H-8 and H-9). The facility is onmed and operated by the United States Air Force. It is
used as a practice bombing and gunnery range for pilots and is used for storage of
necessary Air Force materials.
TRAFFIC PATTERNS AT UTIR
Except for the county road (Box Elder County) that runs from north to south on the east
side of the UTfR, traffic on all roads in controlled areas must be authorized. Traffic at
the site is extremely light, even on the county road, and it is difficult to envision a
situation when traffic movement will hinder the operation of either facility or emergency
vehicles if they are required.
FLOOD PI-AIN INFORIT{ATION
FIA flood plain maps for the LBDF are not available. Although these maps are not
available, it is believed that these facilities are not within the l0Gyear flood plain. The
Great Salt Lake is the nearest body of water, approximately 3 miles from the MBP site,
and about 8 miles from the range complex. The highest water level of the lake during
recorded history is 4217 msl. This will not threaten the LBDF which is at elevation 4400
msl.
Although it is unlikely that either a 24-hour or aZ1-year storm event would adversely
effect the LBDF, this faciliry has been designed so that very little damage would occur
due to unexpected flash flooding. The LBDF facility is constructed with foundation walls
which extend above ground. All mechanical equipment is above ground and the finish
grade slopes away from all the facility to insure good drainage.
H-4
CLIMATE
The climate in the area is considered to be arid. The winters are moderate to severely
cold, and the surnmers are hot and dry. The diurnal range of temperature is great.
During the summer, temperatures from 80 to 105"F are common. During the winter the
temperature varies from about -?5" to +55"F. The precipitation in the area is meager,
about 5 inches or less per year. Precipitation is chiefly from rain and snow during
December, January and February. Very little rain falts in the summer with some rain
during the spring and fall. Precipitation is will vary geatly from year to year. The
relative humidity is about 50 percent, and is lower during the summer than in the winter.
The average wind speed during tle summer is 5 to 10 milg5 per hour. In the spring and
fall, winds up to 50 miles per hour have been recorded. The prevailing winds duriug the
summer are generally from southwest to northeast, and during the winter they are mostly
from north to south.
