Waste streams from all destruction technologies wall include gases that can be vented to the atmosphere (or, in some cases, chemically converted to salts in a chemical scrubbing units; water, which can be released to the atmosphere as a vapor with other gases or as a liquid; ~d various solids. Each of these waste streams must meet all applicable standards for any trace contaminants released.

The U.S. Army has conducted extensive health and safety tests and has established technical specifications on the maximum allowable concentrations of residual agent in venous processed material streams, dependent upon the type of agent, the type of processing stream, and their subsequent disposition.

. This complete destruction process is referred to as "mineralization" because no complex organic molecules remain in the processed residue.

Biological processing of the products from a chemical neutralization of HD, for example, might produce acceptable residual products requiring no further treatment other than ding prior to hazardous waste landfill disposal. All technologies must convert the agents to products (generally mineralized)

Separation of these matenals into controlled processing streams allows optimal design of separate disposal processes for each, while simplifying the control and thereby maximizing the safety of operations. The benefits of separation apply equally to an disposal technologies, and no individual disposal technology is particularly well suited to processing mixed streams.

Small metal components associated with energetics, MSS aluminum rocket bodies, aunt fiberglass launch tubes are similarly treated, but the resulting mixed material has no scrap value. Energetic matenals cannot be disposed of safely in their existing state.

limits will be placed on the flow and discharge temperature of water discharged from the plant. In addition, recently promulgated regulations under the Clean Water Act will require monitoring and reporting of storm water discharges.

. These reports provide a relatively up-to-date assessment and analysis of what waste streams are resulting from the disposal process and how the Army is dealing with them.
