JUN 10 '99 09:17AN P.2 sunalemental Description to the SEPA Checklist for the ARF Addition Siemens Power Corporation (SPC) has six lagoons that contain process waste solutions and sediment from past and current manufacturing operations. Under the terms of a consent decree with the Washington Department of Ecology (WDCE), the lagoons will be emptied, decommissioned and removed by the year 2006. To meet this requirement and phase out the lagoons, SPC will install wastewater treatment equipment into a new containment building attached to the existing ARF Building. The new equipment will Include two waste tanks (approximately 7000 and 12,000 gallons), two tanks (approximately 5000 gallons each) for regeneration of the existing final ion exchange I
column located in the ARF Building, and a second ion exchange column. The ion exchange regeneration tanks will allow SPC to eliminate the legoons from the final lon exchange regeneration process. The waste tanks will become an integral part of the existing ARF process as a feed tank and bottoms receiver tank, functions presently performed by the lagoons. The tanks will eliminate the concern of any possible leaks or emissions to the environment from the lagoons.
