4.1.1          Description of CTF and Landfill

This FS discusses how an alternative treatment technology can be
implemented if the CTF is located at the proposed incinerator
site and the disposal facility is located at the proposed ash
disposal location.  Other locations for the CTF and the disposal
facility may also be considered during the design phase.  The
proposed CTF and disposal facility are discussed below.

4.1.1.1   Proposed Central Treatment Facility

The proposed CTF site (see Figure 4-1) is located approximately
2.5 miles southwest of the corporate limits of the City of
Bloomington in Perry Township, Monroe County, Indiana.  This 15-acre 
site is bordered on the east by Indiana State Highway Route
37; on the northwest by the Illinois Central Railroad; and on the
south by the City of Bloomington's Dillman Road Wastewater
Treatment Plant.

Approximately 10 to 12 acres are available at the site for the
treatment building, accessory structures, and roadways.  The
local environment consists generally of rolling hills,
pasturelands, and fallow bottomland.  Land northwest of the site
is primarily zoned for residential use.  The 10- to 12-acre site
is zoned industrial.  Land north and northeast of the site is
zoned for residential use to the boundary of the City of
Bloomington's 2-mile planning fringe.  North of this city line
and within the 1-mile ring of the proposed CTF are quarrying
zones, residential estate districts, low-density multidwelling
units, and high-density residential districts.  Throughout these
zones, more restrictive flood hazard overlay districts are
present, including urban floodway, rural floodway, and floodway
fringe districts.  The CTF is proposed to be constructed entirely
within the industrially zoned portion of its proposed location.

The only access to the treatment site should be from Indiana
State Highway Route 37 by means of a commercial driveway that
should be constructed pursuant to a permit issued by INDOT.  A
de-acceleration lane should be constructed on Route 37 to prevent
interference by refuse trucks or other CTF-related traffic with
current traffic patterns.  On-site roads should be 24 feet wide
and constructed to provide for two lanes with two-way traffic.  

An 8-foot-high, galvanized, chain-link fence topped by three
strands of barbed wire should enclose the facility.  Card-
controlled gates should limit access to the CTF to individuals
provided with cards.  Those without access cards would be
admitted on a case-by-case basis by the facility security
officer.

The site is currently undeveloped and has no existing utilities. 
Water, electric, sewer, gas, and telephone utilities are
available in the area.

4.1.1.2   Proposed Disposal Facility

The proposed disposal facility (see Figure 4-2) should be a
dedicated disposal facility for the treated materials from the CD
sites.  The property acquired by Westinghouse for the disposal
facility has an area of 247 acres, 70 acres of which could be
fenced and used for the disposal of wastes from the remedial
activities.

Westinghouse has proposed to design and construct the landfill in
accordance with requirements of RCRA and State of Indiana
hazardous waste laws and regulations.  The proposed disposal
facility includes a landfill cell consisting of four subcells for
disposal of waste materials and ancillary facilities.  The
landfill could be constructed in three phases.  Phase I would
involve constructing the southwest and northwest subcells and
filling the southwest cell first.  Phase II would involve
constructing the northeast subcell when the northwest subcell is
almost full.  Phase III would involve constructing the southeast
subcell when the northeast subcell is almost full.

Each subcell should have a double liner designed to exceed the
design requirements of 40 CFR 264 and EPA's Minimum Technology
Guidance on Double Liner Systems for Landfills and Surface
Impoundments--Design, Construction and Operation.  Each liner
system should be a composite system consisting of a compacted
soil liner and a geomembrane.  The composite liner system closest
to the waste is termed the "primary liner," and the composite
liner system below the primary liner is the "secondary liner." 
The leak detection system (LDS) should be placed between the
primary and secondary composite liners.

Each subcell should have an independent leachate collection and
removal system (LCRS) and LDS.  The LCRS should be placed above
the primary liner and be designed to efficiently remove leachate
from the landfill cell and to minimize the hydraulic head on the
primary liner.  The LCRS should convey leachate to an LCRS sump
in each subcell.

If a leak through the composite primary liner occurs, the LDS
should be designed to provide minimum detection time, enabling
fluid entering the system to reach one of the sumps in less than
the EPA-required 24 hours from any location in any subcell.
Figure 4-2     PROPOSED DISPOSAL FACILITYLeachate collected 
from the LCRS or LDS sumps should be pumped
through an underground force main to an on-site wastewater
treatment plant.  The underground force main should be provided
with secondary containment, witness vaults for leak detection,
and backflow prevention valves.

A runon control system should be designed to intercept natural
surface water flow upstream of the landfill cell and divert the
flow around the cell.  Runon control ditches should be placed as
close as possible to the uphill edge of the landfill cell and
related facilities.  Runon at the northern portion of the
landfill cell could be routed toward the unnamed stream
paralleling Lawson Road.  Runon at the southern portion of the
landfill cell could be routed to existing culverts passing under
Bottom Road.  The ditches should be protected with an erosion-
resistant lining material.

A runoff control system should be constructed to collect surface
water from the final cover surface that has not been in contact
with the waste and direct it through erosion-resistant ditches
and flumes to the sediment basins.  Collection and holding
facilities for drainage control should be designed to manage a
25-year, 24-hour storm event.  Runoff from the final cover and
runon from disturbed areas during various phases of the
construction and operation of the landfill cell would be directed
to two sediment basins.  The flows that accumulate in the
sediment basins would be released gradually after storms in
accordance with NPDES requirements.

Water from precipitation that passes through or over the fill
material is considered leachate and should be processed in the
wastewater treatment plant.  The treated water would be required
to meet the NPDES permit limits for discharge and may be pumped
into a ditch that outlets into Beanblossom Creek at a controlled
rate.

Other ancillary features of the disposal facility may include the
following:  

          Operations buildings
          Security fence
          Maintenance shop 
          Wheel wash station
          Sanitary treatment plant

The permanent roads in the waste handling area are proposed to
consist of the main access road off Bottom Road and the road on
the surface of the final cover.  A permit for commercial driveway
approach may not be required from INDOT because access to the
landfill would be from a county road.  Prior to any alteration to
Bottom Road associated with landfill access, approval from the
Monroe County Commissioners should be obtained.  The permanent
roads should be designed in accordance with American Association
of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) pavement
design methods.
