Okay, I trust you guys and would like some feedback on this topic. EnergySolutions is applying for a RCRA permit to store and treat mixed waste at a new facility which will be located 686 yards from my home.
I have several concerns and questions that I will be addressing at the public meeting but I would like for you to help me decide if these questions are legit or what else I may need to ask.
1. What elements, metals or other hazardous materials will be handled?
2. What is the travel route of the trucks?
3.What facilities or types of facilities will this material be coming from?
4.What dangers/risks does the community face?
5. Will the treatment of these materials affect our air quality? Will there be any strong smells associated with the treatment of these materials.
I am sure that most of you know the process of treating mixed waste but here are the processes they plan to use: stabilization (chemical fixaton including neutralization, chemical reduction, chemical oxidation and deactivation), solidificaton, amalgamation, macroencapsulation and spray washing. Waste will also be sorted, segregated, packaged, re-packaged, prepared for shiipment and transported out.
Thanks, any feedback will be appreciated.
