A plant that burns wastes at usually 1600" to high temperatures 2500" for an adequate time within the combustion chamber with oxygen and the proper mix of waste with the oxygen There are several types of cinerators acceptible for treating hazardous wastes What is hazardous waste incineration? Incineration is the technology which is used to destroy organic wastes or wastes containing organic components by burning Incineration can be used to break down all natural and manmade organic compounds What are the “Three T’s” of cineration? All thermal decomposition technology revolves around three main and TurTemperature bulence (or mixing) The laws of thermodynamics say that all organic things can be destroyed given enough time in the combusition area a high enough temperature in that zone and a turbulent mixing with enough air Under ideal conditions the time required to destroy these wastes is in the thousandths of one second Since this is not possible all incinerators provide much more time than this in the combustion chamber State of the art cinerators have more than adequate time temperature and turbulence with large factors of safety built into the design This is done with insulated chambers and specially engineered mixing areas with a large secondary combustion chamber This results in very efficient destruction of organic compounds in the variety of wastes incinerated Protest toxic wastes by John Breitrick The State of Nevada prepared a draft plan for hazardous waste management in Nevada and sought public comments The governor realizing the danger and how vulnerable and naive our state was regarding hazardous waste treatment and transportation imposed a moratorium on constructing hazardous waste treatment facilities in the state The moratorium ended in August 1986 The types of hazardous waste by category are: corrosives 34 percent solvents 125 percent toxic metals 13 percent organics 15 percent waste oil 7 percent and others Corrosives are waste acids and bases such as sulfuric acid and caustic soda Solvents are wastes which posea fire threat by having a flash point of less than 140 degree F Examples are paint thinners and Toxic metals are cleaning solvents Ieachable toxic wastes containing metals and pesticides or both Exchrome are plating soluamples spent tions leaded gasoline bulk tank storage sludges and dioxen Reactive hazardous wastes are wastes that react spontaneously with air or water and wastes that generate toxic gases or waste which is explosive such as cyanide or TNT Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are hazardous wastes produced from public utility transformer oil Robison is President of Utah State Firemen The Utah State Firemen’s Association Convention will

assignments Radioactive (nuclear) waste is regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and is not included in the hazardous wastes Nevada generates a mere 1700 tons of hazardous waste per year By comCalifornia 19 generates parison million tons per year or 19 percent of the nation’s total The rest of the nation generates eight million tons per year Types of hazardous waste management facilities are: 1) transfer and storage-- a facility designed to store hazardous waste until an economic and safe method of treatment or disposal is found 2) hazardous waste treatment--facility designed to render hazardous or safe for waste nonhazardous disposal 3) resource recoverya facility designed to recover a useable product hazardous waste 4) otherwise from incineration--facility designed to destroy more than 99 percent of the hazardous constituents of hazardous waste bv high temperature burning The major impacts and disadvantages associated with locating hazardous waste management facilities in a state are several The greatest danger by far to the citizens is the transportation of hazardous and toxic waste on the highways The waste must pass through all cities To support a commercial facility hazardous waste must be imported into the state due to low generation rates This will increase the Some states have no spill potential emergency response teams and do not know how much or what kinds of hazardous waste are being transported within and across the borders Another problem is the illegal and unknown dumping that could and does occur if hazardous waste shipments are encouraged These illegal dumps could occur at the city landfill dumps in the and at waste desert or streams facilities designed for management other wastes An example occurred in April 1986 in Douglas County Nevada where a Nevada firm was charged with illegally dumping a hazardous industrial solvent in a pond and contaminating the ground water and a nearby water well Other problems are water pollution by ground underground storage facilities and air These impollution by incinerators detrimental be would expecially pacts to areas known for clean air and high quality carbonate aquifers Most states charge fees for the imof toxic and hazardous portation often to wastes into their borders discourage such shipments Examples are Oregon which charges a maximum fee of $250000 per ton Washington a maximum fee of $7500 per ton Idaho and California a maximum fee of $20 per ton Utah a maximum fee of $3 per ton and Arizona and Nevada charge no fees Low or no fees encourage other states to ship hazardous waste j j j New summer hours for landfill 10:00 - 6:00 j j Sharon are the parents of four children Fillmore feels very honored to have this caliber mdn idual representing the
