The run-off of fluids that are supposedly piped into "storage" or "treatment" are going to contain percentages of COREXIT (PROPYLENE GLYCOL/ANTIFREEZE!!)...hence, some of the reason you have tarballs in the first case! How and where would you store such waste? How do "treat" such waste?
Another question...is it possible that any of this product would be going to ANY OF THE LOCAL LANDFILL VAPORIZING FACILITIES?I' am sure the answer is no?
@OILEDVOICES Excellent questions, yet I see they have not given any answers, not very surprising. Even if they did answer you it would be total BS, BP cut them A big check so they'll burn it, bury it and do whatever it takes to make it disappear, sad thing is that oil will always be in the environment in one form or another.
@OILEDVOICES Thanks for posting. My name is Lynn Brown and I work with Waste Management, so I wanted to be in touch to address your comment.
To answer your question, we deal with any water that is brought in along with tar balls in one of two ways. First, if we are able to remove the tar from the water, we will send the tar materials to BP for their use. We send the water to a treatment facility...
@OILEDVOICES ... Alternatively, if the oil particles are too small or diffuse to remove from the water, we will add ash and clay, in order to stabilize the material into a solid form. Only then would we place this material in a landfill. To be clear, we do not place liquids of any kind in solid waste landfills.
@wastemanagement Let me clarify my question. I was referring to your video on the process used at the LANDFILL. It says that there is a layer of pipeing underneath the landfill and that any fluids there are extracted and stored or treated. What type of facility would this be stored in? I understand the cleaning properties that the soil is capable of but if you have excess fluids comeing out of the bottom to deal with, how would you "treat" that product considering it contains the COREXIT or...
@wastemanagement importantly, the Propylene Glycol amounts that are sure to be there considering the high ppm that is showing up in samples of tar? Also, how are you handling the loads of oil-tainted sand? And, if indeed there is a Vaporizing facility operational, is that an option? Thank you for responding
@OILEDVOICES Thanks for clarifying your question. In the video, we discuss the piping included in any modern engineered landfill. This system is put in place at the bottom of the landfill to collect leachate, which is primarily rainwater that passes through the waste. It is almost like the water that percolates through coffee in your coffee maker...
@OILEDVOICES Once the leachate has been collected via the piping system, a sump-pump pumps it to an above ground leachate storage tank. The leachate from the storage tank is then pre-treated as necessary and sent to a publicly owned treatment works facility.
@OILEDVOICES To your second question about sand, we have begun to stockpile oily sand at the Springhill and Baldwin County landfills. This way, instead of putting this material in the landfill, WM is experimenting with biotreatment, composting and land farming options to clean the sand so that it can be beneficially reused.
thx for helping BP spread the pollution around, and if it is such non hazardous material then why do you have a liner in the landfill to protect the environment,your stupid little cartoon hear would not even fool a child. All you are doing is cleaning up BP mess and transporting it to a landfill, shame!
@56kCanadian We appreciate you sharing your feedback in accordance with our disclaimer and thanks for reposting. To answer your question, all modern managed landfills – not just the ones permitted to handle oil spill debris – are lined with a protective liner in order to contain the disposed waste. We have more information about the components of a managed landfill on our website (wm.com) in the Updates on WM's Gulf Coast Clean Up section. Hope this information is helpful!
Waste of Management is a more appropiate Name for this company
