EnergySolutions, LLC Permit
EnergySolutions (formerly Envirocare of Utah) operates a commercial treatment, storage and disposal facility located in Tooele County, Utah. The facility is located five miles south of the Clive exit (Exit #49) on Interstate 80, which is approximately 80 miles west of Salt Lake City, Utah.
The facility is one square mile in size and is located in a remote desert area of the Bonneville basin. It is about 20 miles from the nearest permanent human habitation. The site is arid to semiarid with an annual precipitation of 6 to 12 inches, while the yearly evaporation rate averages about 48 inches. The depth to groundwater averages about 30 feet. Because of its desert setting, the site is ideal for land disposal.
The EnergySolutions facility can receive two types of wastes. The first type contains both low level radioactivity and a hazardous waste component, known as mixed waste, and the second type of waste contains only a low level radioactive component. The mixed wastes operations are regulated by both the Utah Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste (DSHW) and the Utah Division of Radiation Control (DRC), with the DSHW regulating the hazardous waste portion and the DRC regulating the radioactive portion of the waste. Wastes that are only radioactive are regulated by the DRC and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
EnergySolutions was authorized to store, treat and dispose of mixed waste by the Part B Permit on-line not official copy (please contact us for updated permit information) that was re-issued by the Director of the Division of Solid And Hazardous Waste on April 4, 2003. The mixed waste managed at the facility includes contaminated soils, process waste, debris and sludges.
The mixed waste operations at the EnergySolutions facility consists of a disposal cell, a treatment building, a storage building and an operations building. The treatment building is used for stabilization of certain waste streams and the operations building is used for alternative treatment technologies, such as macroencapsulation and microencapsulation, as well as stabilization and storage of mixed waste.
The Compliance History for EnergySolutions lists the violations identified during inspections and the resolution reached.
