W13: Improved metal alloy capture and collection procedures have increased potential recoverable volumes. W64: Alloy reclaim tank drainage and pumping improvements for 55-gallon drum metals precipitation treatments, 4-5 x/weekly. Other Environmental Practices - Wastewater effluent sampling has confirmed cadmium and lead POTW discharges are well within Permit Limits and reduced from 2011 levels. Facility increased the weights of metals recovery shipments by 226% compared with 2011. Improved metal alloy capture and collection procedures have increased potential recoverable volumes. Wastewater treatment process refined to 4-5 x/weekly chemical metal precipitation of alloy tank wastewater to optimize reclaimable metals weights, and reduce POTW wastewater discharges. |
