Appendix B
Consolidated Exhaust Gas Characteristics for the JACADS and TOCDF Baseline Incineration Systems

Emissions test results were originally reported in the units required by the cognizant agencies at the time. Over time, the reporting units have changed and are now different for each facility. Consequently, direct comparisons and meaningful summaries require converting results into common units. The information in this appendix is standardized to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reference conditions (68°F for temperature; 760 mm Hg for pressure; 0 percent for moisture; and 7 percent for residual oxygen content) and conventional EPA regulatory units (ppmdv for gaseous criteria pollutants and acid gases; mg/dsm 3 for particulates; μg/dsm3 for individual elements; and ng/dsm3 at 7 percent O2 for trace organics). In developing this appendix, the committee reviewed the underlying laboratory and field reports to verify the overall accuracy of data reduction and quality assurance warnings. Reported results were compared to database values prior to standardization to eliminate transcription errors and identify errors in data reduction.

a Average annual reference air concentrations (RAC) and risk specific dose (RsD) values in μg/m3 are taken from 40 CFR 266, Appendices IV and V. RsD values are shown in parentheses. The RAC is 0.1 μg/m3 for SOPCs without a pollutant-specific RAC or RsD. Since the emitted concentration ranges are between 642,000 (MPF), 919,000 (LIC), and 1,350,000 (DFS) times greater than the annual average concentration represented by the RAC and RsD, to compare these inhalation pathway-based concentrations with measured concentrations and detection limits, multiply the RAC or RsD by 1,000,000 for particulates and metals. The multiplier for trace organic emissions is 1,000,000,000 to account for the difference in reported units.

b Nondetected concentrations with detection limits above detected values for other sampling intervals have been excluded from the table to facilitate summary presentation of the data. To determine the number of these runs, subtract the number of detects and nondetects less than the lowest detected value from the total number of runs.

This report reviews the Army's evaluation of carbon filters for use in the baseline incineration PAS, as well as the Army's change management process (the Army's tool for evaluating major equipment and operational changes to disposal facilities). In preparing this report, members of the Stockpile Committee evaluated exhaust gas emissions testing at the two operating baseline incineration systems, JACADS and the TOCDF; evaluated the development of the dilute SOPC carbon filter simulation model; and evaluated the conceptual design of a modified PAS with an activated carbon filter. The two major risk assessments conducted for each continental disposal site that use the baseline system, namely, (1) the quantitative risk assessment, which evaluates the risks and consequences of accidental agent releases, and (2) the health risk assessment, which evaluates the potential effects of nonagent emissions on human health and the environment, were also examined.
