Summary of Guide4.1 The guide is summarized as figures shown in Figs. 1-3.These figures provide a flow-chart illustrati

20、ng the steps used incharacterizing the source material, collecting background data,establishing an upper limit for each analyte included in theprogram, and/or establishing effective monitoring constituentsthat will provide an indication of whether the WMU ispotentially impacting surface and groundwa

21、ter in the vicinityof the unit.5. Significance and Use5.1 The principal use of this standard is in the identificationof effective groundwater monitoring constituents for adetection-monitoring program. The significance of the guide isto minimize the false positive rate for the facility by onlymonitor

22、ing those constituents that are intrinsic to the wastemass and eliminate those constituents that are present inbackground in concentrations that confound evaluation fromdowngradient wells.5.2 Governing regulations require large generic lists ofconstituents to be monitored in an effort to detect a re

23、leasefrom a WMU. However, identification and selection of param-eters based on site-specific physical and chemical conditionsare in many cases also acceptable to regulatory agencies andresult in a more effective and environmentally protectivegroundwater monitoring system.5.2.1 Naturally occurring so

24、il and groundwater constituentswithin and near a WMU area should be determined prior to thedevelopment of a monitoring program. This is important in theselection of site-specific constituents lists and avoiding diffi-culties with a regulatory authority regarding sources of moni-tored constituents.5.

25、2.2 Site-specific lists of constituents relative to the WMUwill provide for the regulator those constituents which willeffectively measure the performance of a WMU rather than theuse of a generic list that could include naturally occurringconstituents as well as those not present in the WMU.5.3 Site

26、-specific constituent lists often result in fewer moni-tored constituents (that is, monitoring programs are optimized).This process is critical to the overall success of the monitoringprogram for the following reasons:5.3.1 The reduction of the monitoring constituents to onlythose found or expected

27、to be found or derived from site-specific source material will reduce the number of false-positive results since only those parameters that could indicatea release are monitored.5.3.2 The use of constituents that contrast significantly tobackground groundwater eliminates those that could lead toerro

28、neous results merely due to temporal and spatial variabilityof components found in the natural geochemistry of theupper-most water-bearing zone.5.3.3 Where statistics are required, fewer statistical com-parisons through well and constituent optimization enhancesthe statistical power (or effectivenes

29、s) of the monitoringprogram (Gibbons, 1994; USEPA, April 1998).5.3.4 Eliminating the cost of unnecessary laboratory analy-ses produces a more efficient and cost-effective monitoringprogram and minimizes the effort needed by both the localenforcement agency and the owner/operator to respond (eitherwi

30、th correspondence or additional field/laboratory efforts) toerroneous detection decisions.5.4 This type of approach is acceptable to regulatory agen-cies arid applicable under most groundwater monitoring pro-grams.NOTE 1For example, in the United States, determining the alternateconstituent list at

31、Solid Waste Facilities, 40 CFR 258.54(a)(l) allows fordeletion of 40 CFR 258Appendix I constituents if it can be shown that theremoved constituents are not reasonably expected to be in or derived fromthe waste contained in the unit. 40 CFR 258(a)(2) allows approved Statesto establish an alternate li

32、st of inorganic parameters in lieu of all or someof the heavy metals (constituents 1-14 in Appendix I to Part 258), if thealternative constituents provide a reliable indication of inorganic releasesfrom the unit to groundwater.5.5 The framework for this standard is generally based onthe guidelines e

33、stablished under 40 CFR 258.54(a)(l) to opti-mize a groundwater-monitoring network in such a manner as tostill provide an early warning system of a release from theWMU. This guidance document is, however, applicable formost WMU, not just those associated with solid waste disposalfacilities. In deter

34、mining the alternative constituents, consider-ation must be made for: (1) the types, quantities, and concen-trations of constituents in wastes managed at the wastemanagement unit (or WMU); (2) the mobility, stability, andpersistence of waste constituents in the unsaturated zonebeneath the WMU; (3) t

35、he detectability of indicatorparameters, waste constituents, and reaction products ingroundwater; and (4) the concentration or contrast betweenmonitoring constituents in leachate and in background ground-water.5.6 An essential factor in this guide is the knowledge of thequality of the potential sour

36、ce material for example, the typesand concentrations of liquid or other leachable wastes (that is,leachate) within the WMU. The characterization of the sourcematerial is critical in determining an optimum set of indicatorparameters that provide an early warning system of a releasefrom the unit. Deta

37、ils for the appropriate levels of effort tocharacterize the waste stream or source(s) in the WMU are notincluded within this guidance document. Waste stream and/orsource data collected by the owner/operator as well as liquiddata from key collection points (that is, sumps or naturalgravity drain coll

38、ection points) are an integral part of any wastecharacterization process.D7045 1725.7 Another key factor to be used in this guide is knowledgeof background quality of groundwater unaffected by the WMUand knowledge of local sources other than the WMU that maypresently be impacting groundwater quality

39、. The main objec-tive then is to choose those constituents that are derived fromthe WMU (for example, are present in the leachate or residualliquids) at much higher concentrations than groundwaterand/or that are only present in the waste or waste residuum (forFIG. 1 Phase IIndicator Parameter Identi

40、ficationD7045 173example, leachate) and absent in groundwater. The analyteschosen must also be mobile, persistent, and easily quantifiablein the specific hydrogeologic and groundwater regime.6. Procedure6.1 This guide is used to identify and select site-specificmonitoring constituents. The practice

41、requires site-specificcharacterization of the liquids derived from the source (that is,leachate) and background groundwater geochemistry (that is,the types, quantities, and concentrations of constituents presentin the WMU). First, comparison of maximum detected leachateconstituents to background pre

42、diction limits are used as a“first-order” process to identify indicator parameters inleachate that contrast significantly to background groundwaterquality. Next, a mixing model is used as a “second-order”process, if necessary, to further identify analytes that are bestFIG. 1 Phase IIndicator Paramet

Finally, otherprocesses, primarily geochemical chemical interactions, can beaddressed as a “third order screening process” for those sitesthat have adequatel

46、zation dataexists to be able to define (that is, fingerprint) the liquid, or themore mobile, waste stream contained within the WMU. For thepurposes of this standard, we refer to liquids derived from theWMU as leachate. Leachate is a complex matrix containing avariety of soluble, insoluble, organic,

47、inorganic, ionic,nonionic, and bacteriological constituents in an aqueous me-dium. Leachate usually is more than 99 % water.6.2.2 Leachate characterization should include an assess-ment and demonstration of the quantity and composition ofleachate contained within the WMU. Estimates of volumetricprod

48、uction rates of leachate are important in evaluating the fateand transport of the constituents. Leachate production ratesdepend on rainfall, run-on, run-off, evapo-transpiration, waterFIG. 3 Monitoring Program ImplementationD7045 176table elevation relative to the bottom of the WMU, in-placemoisture

An often overlooked source of water is that derivedfrom the compression (settlement) of the waste and/or naturalsoils.6.2.3 If leachate composition data that are representative oftheWMU (or historical waste contained within the unit) are notavailable, then leachate data with a similar expected composi-tion should be compiled.NOTE 2EPA530-R-93-017 provides one means of how to compile thedata.6.2.4 A review of existing literature for similar wastem
