Abstract: This report is prepared to summarize information on the existing sampling and analysis results for the K-1407B and K-1407C ponds holding basins for wastes received from the Oak Ridge K-25 Plant. The purpose of the document is to compare the existing data to commercial disposal facility criteria so that off-site disposal options for pond waste drums can be examined. There are [approximately]45,795 drums of stabilized sludge and [approximately]31,954 drums of raw sludge at the Oak Ridge K-25 Site. There have been corrosion and storage problems associated with these drums. The US Department of Energy would like to transport all waste drums that meet regulatory requirements to a commercial disposal facility. This report describes waste characterization and classifications.
