WRN-1 Possible Approach for consideration Good morning, Our team met this week to discuss your question regarding WRN-1copied below:
WNR-1: We are researching how to provide a conservative estimate of the total quantities of solid nonhazardous waste. Is there an approach that was used in another applicants environmental report that we could consider, such as from Kairos or Terrapower? We have not been able to identify how someone else may have approached this estimate.
Regarding a possible approach for providing an estimate of solid nonhazardous waste, see the yellow highlighted language from Section 3.10.2 of the TerraPower Draft EIS (ML25154A651) below, as an example.
Terrapower: Draft EIS (ML25154A651) Section 3.10.2, "Environmental Impacts of Construction," states the following:
Solid nonradiological waste would include waste from construction debris from excavation and land clearing, general waste storage, metal waste, and equipment waste. The Kemmerer landfill on County Road 345 is expected to serve as the primary waste collection site during construction and operation of the proposed project (TerraPower 2024-TN11009). Section 4.10 of the ER states that construction debris created by excavation and land clearing will be either recycled or disposed offsite to a licensed facility. Construction waste will be collected using approved receptacles and recycled where possible. The applicant estimates that the site would generate three 40 yard (36.6 m) dumpsters of general trash per week. Metal waste from various building materials will also be recycled. Material collected in two metal dumpsters will be sent for recycling twice a week. Equipment waste generated from onsite construction vehicles and used hazardous materials would be disposed of according to Federal, State, and local permitting and regulatory requirements. Management of solid waste would involve waste reduction efforts, recycling, and BMPs during all phases of the project (TerraPower 2024-TN10896).
If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to contact me.
