1.2 FACILITY OPERATION AND BACKGROUND
Singer is a manufacturer of dining room, bed room, wall units, electronics, and
occasional furniture. Hazardous wastes are generated from the finishing processes
used at the plant.
Nonliquid solid wastes in the form of filler scrapings, lacquer dust, and
discarded rags are generated in the manufacturing process. Filler scrapings and
lacquer dust are generated during the cleanup of spray booths where the material is
applied to furniture. Discarded rags are used to wipe off filler and dust from the
product during finishing operations. All three wastes are handled, stored and treated
as ignitable wastes although they are not normally expected to be ignitable at the time
of storage or treatment. These three wastes are generated at two Singer sites in
Lenoir as well as plants in Roanoke, Virginia, and Washington, North Carolina. Non
liquid wastes from offsite plants were transported to Singer ~lant 33 in Lenoir for
treatment by incineration. The wastes were stored in containers in the Container
Storage Area until incinerated.
Liquid wastes generated from the manufacturing operation include stains, rinser
paints, lacquers, and other finishes used in furniture finishing. Other onsite liquid
wastes generated include spent nonhalogenated solvents used in the cleanup of
equipment and wash-off of finished furniture. All liquid wastes are characterized and
transported to an EPA listed treatment, storage, and disposal (TSO) facility for
recycling.
In summary, Singer Plant No. 33 served as a storage and treatment facility for
ignitable solid hazardous waste generated by several Singer plants. Only non liquid
hazardous wastes were stored for longer than 90 days, and these were incinerated in
the pyrolitic incinerator. The incinerator residue was classified as nonhazardous and
disposed of in a local landfill. The incinerator and adjacent waste storage area are the
subject hazardous waste management units closed in accordance with the approved
closure plan included as Appendix B of this report.

SECTION 2
DESCRIPTION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT UNITS
2.1 CONTAINER STORAGE AREA
The Container Storage Area is located outdoors on the north side of the Plant
No. 33 building, as shown of Figure 1. The maximum inventory of drums in storage at
any given time during the operating life of the facility was approximately 500.
Drummed hazardous waste included lacquer dust, filler scrapings, and discarded rags.
These are non liquid solid wastes. The container storage area was managed and
permitted to store only wastes that did not contain free liquids. The only other waste
stored in this general area is water wash stain, a nonhazardous liquid waste. It is
'9 stored in a 6000 gallon storage tank adjacent to the incinerator building and is not a
part of the permit or these closure activities.
The Container Storage Area consists of a designated area just west of the
Lumber Shed, north of Plant No. 33. This area is approximately 50 by 76 feet. The
Container Storage Area is bounded by a chain·link fence on the north, landscape
timbers on the east a.nd west, and the access road leading to the incinerator on the
south.
Drums of waste were stored in the Container Storage Area on wooden pallets
to prevent contact with any standing precipitation. The pallets were placed in rows so
as to maintain at least a 3-foot aisle between rows for inspection purposes. No more
than four drums were stored on a pallet. Steel 55-gallon drums were used at the
facility to store solid hazardous waste. The drums were constructed of low carbon
steel, meeting U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Speciflcation No. 17H.

2.2 INCINERATOR
The Plant No. 33 treatment and storage facility received wastes only from
Singer Furniture plants. The waste burned in Singer's incinerator was hazardous
solely by characteristic if ignitability (0001 ). The waste contains insignificant
concentrations of Appendix VIII constituents. Therefore, the facility was exempt
[according to 40 CFR 264.340 (c)] from the requirements of 264 Subpart 0, except for
waste analysis and closure.
The incinerator system consisted of a main pyrolytic chamber followed by a
thermal reactor. The system was charged manually by loading solid materials into the
incinerator chamber. Nonhazardous liquid waste was injected into the chamber to
assist in controlling operating temperatures through an atomizing nozzle. The liquid
waste consisted of the water-wash stain waste that simply replaced cooling water in
the operation. The feed rate of the liquid waste was controlled by the exhaust
temperature from the thermal reactor. The waste feed was modulated to maintain the
exhaust temperature in the proper operating range. Natural gas was used in the
system as the auxiliary fuel.
Fifty-five gallon drums containing solid hazardous waste were transported from
the Container Storage Area to the incinerator by a forklift equipped wrth a drum clamp.
The contents were historically emptied onto the recessed concrete slab in front of the
incinerator and manually loaded into the incinerator with a shovel prior to firing. Most
recently, waste was emptied from the drums into a steel container and mixed with
sawdust prior to loading into the incinerator. The burned mixture was 40 percent
sawdust and 60 percent waste.
The last recorded waste processed through the incinerator was performed on
July 31, 1991 (Appendix C). Since that time, the incinerator and Container Storage
Area have been inactive and no wastes have been stored or processed.

SECTION 3
DESCRIPTION OF CLOSURE FIELD TASKS
3.1 SITE INSPECTION
A site inspection was conducted to identify areas of visible evidence of spills or
contamination and assure the adequate storage space in the 90 day accumulation
area for drums generated during the closure activities. In addition, a site control plan
was established, key contacts were identified, and it was confirmed that all utilities
were disconnected.
These activities were conducted and no evidence of spills or contamination
were identified in the Container Storage Area or in the incinerator building. The 90 day
-accumulation area appeared to have adequate storage space available tor drums
expected to be generated. Site control was established prior to demolition activities
and a list of key personnel was also established and included in the Field Logbook.
The site inspection and initiation of onsite closure activities were conducted on June 1,
1993.
3.2 CLOSURE OF CONTAINER STORAGE AREA
Upon initiation of closure activities at the Container Storage Area, no containers
of waste were present. Markers along the north side of the area identified where rows
of drums were stored and selected for incineration based on duration of storage. As
stated in the above section, there was no evidence of spills or contamination detected
on the surface. Therefore, no excavation or removal of surface materials was
required.
6
(I As indicated on Figure 2, the sampling locations/grids were preselected as
identified and included in the closure plan. These locations were identified to
demonstrate if statistical differences exist between the Container Storage Area and
background conditions. At each of the identified grids (1,9,10,17, and 25), the surface
gravel was removed using a pick and shovel. The soil was then collected using a
metal sampling trowel and placed directly into the appropriate laboratory container,
labeled, ;:ind sealed. The containers were then placed into a cooler with ice and
prepared for shipment to the Ross Analytical Services, Inc. for analysis. Split samples
were collected simultaneously at each of the sampling grids. These split samples
were included with the other samples collected, however, they were identified with a
unique sample identification number. These samples were collected in the event that
a container was damaged or broken in shipment.
Samples collected were analyzed by the laboratory for the following parameters
and by the method as specified:
Methyl ethyl ketone by Method 8015
Toluene by Method 8020
Xylene by Method 8020
Dimethyl phthalate by Method 8060
bis(2~Ethylhexyl) phthalate by Method 8060.
Coolers containing the samples were shipped via Federal Express to the laboratory
following proper chain-of-custody procedures. Copies of the chain~of-custody forms
are included with the analytical results presented as Appendix D.
An identical grid layout was also established in the background area as
identified on Figure 1. The same grids were sampled as those in the Container
Storage Area following the same sampling strategies.
Equipment used during the sampling in both of these areas was
decontaminated between each of the sampling grids by triple washing and final rinse.
All decontamination fluids generated were contained, and upon completion of
sampling, were placed into the drums of liquids generated during the washing of the
incinerator floor, as discussed later in this report.
7
All sampling activity was recorded in the Sample Log located toward the back of
the Field logbook, as copied and included as Appendix E.
3.3 CLOSURE OF INCINERATOR
Operating records for the last month of incinerator operation were obtained and
are included in Appendix C. Also included in Appendix C is the waste manifest for the
last operating cycle of the incinerator. These records were found to be In accordance
with the operating permit.
The closure of tl1e incinerator was initiated by confirmation that all power, water,
and gas had been disconnected from the incinerator building. All salvageable items
were removed from the building prior to demolition. The debris generated during the
building dismantling and removal was segregated into two containers. One container
was used for all the waste debris including wood, insulation, etc. and the second
container for the salvageable metal/steel.
The sheet metal siding was removed and staged for placement into a container.
During the siding removal, personnel equipped in Level C personal protective
equipment removed the incinerator refractory using pneumatic power tools. The
refractory was placed into steel 55-gallon drums and labeled sequentially as they were
filled. Drums were preliminarily staged adjacent to the incinerator building until
relocated to the onsite drum storage and 90 day accumulation area located on the
southwest corner of the Plant No. 33 manufacturing building.
It was observed during refractory removal that the thickness of refractory
ranged from 4.5 inches along the top of the incinerator to iO inches on the back wall.
Due to the variability of the refractory thickness, a much larger quantity of drummed
refractory was generated. The initial estimate was 110 cubic feet of refractory would
be placed into an estimated 12 drums. However, upon completion of the refractory
removal, 29 drums had been filled.
Dismantling of the uncontaminated building was accomplished using hand tools
and using the bucket of the backhoe. The overhead door was salvaged as requested
9
by Singer. All ancillary piping and plumbing were disconnected while refractory
removal activities continued. Upon completion of refractory removal, all generated
drums of refractory were labeled and staged. The incinerator stack and catwalk were
then dismantled by removing anchor bolts using hand tools or cut with a torch if
needed. The bottom six feet of the incinerator stack had refractory remaining. This
refractory was removed from the stack prior to placement of the stack into the
container for salvage steel.
The incinerator was cut horizontally In half, with the two halves removed using
the backhoe and placed into the container for salvage. Following the removal of the
incinerator and all ancillary equipment, the main supports and roof were collapsed
using the backhoe. The uncontaminated debris materials were then placed into the
appropriate container until final solid waste disposal arrangements are made.
Three randomly selected drums of refractory were sampled. The sampling was
performed by collecting a representative sample from drums RF-5, RF-12, and RF-25.
These samples were placed into appropriate sample containers, labeled, sealed, and
-immediately placed into a cooler for shipment to the laboratory for analysis.
Following complete removal of all debris generated from the building
demolition, the recessed concrete floor was pressure washed. Waters collected in the
recessed sump located in the northwest corner of the floor were pumped into drums
containing floor-dry type bagged absorbent material. These drums were numbered
sequentia!!y and staged for movement to the onsite drum storage arsa. The ftoor vvas
washed three times with a final rinse sample (the third wash) collected and analyzed
for the following parameters:
Methyl ethyl ketone by Method 8015
Toluene by Method 8020
Xylene by Method 8020
Of methyl phthalate by Method 8060
bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate by Method 8060.
This sample was not specified in the closure plan, however, it was collected to
document the effectiveness of the.washing activities of the building floor.
10
-------·-----·-· ...
The drums of solidified materials were sampled after the pressure washing
activities were complete. Samples were collected from three drums using a sampling
spoon and placed into the appropriate laboratory containers. These sample
containers were labeled, sealed, and immediately placed into a cooler with ice. The
samples were prepared for shipment, with the refractory samples collected, following
proper chain-of-custody procedures.
The final sampling and onsite closure activities were concluded on June 4,
1993. All wastes generated during the closure activities were left onsite until final
disposal arrangements are finalized. The drums of waste were all staged in the drum
storage area previously described and the containers of debris and salvage were
staged at the location of the incinerator. An inventory of the total wastes generated
included the following:
Salvage steel/metal
Miscellaneous Debris
Refractory
Solidified Floor Wash
+ /-15 cubic yards
+ /-15 cubic yards
29 drums
4 drums.

SECTION 4
DISCUSSION OF ANALYTICAL RESULTS
Table '1 present a Summary of Analytical Results of samples collected during
the performance of closure activities. The original data and associated chain-of-
custody forms are attached as Appendix D. A brief discussion of each group of
samples collected from the areas are identified below.
4.1 CONTAINER STORAGE AREA
All sample results indicate that no contaminates were detected in any of the soil
samples collected. All test results were below the Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) of
-the laboratory. This further indicates that the Container Storage Area has not been
affected by the storage of waste materials prior to processing in the incinerator.
1•
4.2 INCINERATOR REFRACTORY
Three drums of refractory material were sampled. Toluene was detected at a
concentration of 3.6 ug/Kg [parts per billion (ppb)] in one sample. The POL of the
laboratory is 2.0 ppb. No other analyte was detected in the samples analyzed. The
reported toluene concentration is less than twice the POL and is believed to be
insignificant.
4.3 FLOOR WASH/ABSORBENT
Three drums of solidified floor wash were sampled and analyzed. The samples
indicated the presence of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) ranging in concentration from 20
ug/Kg to 51 ug/Kg. Toluene was detecte·d in two samples at concentrations

ranging from 4.3 to 4.5 µg/kg, and xylene was detected in one sample at a
concentration of 14 µg/kg. The mean (average) values are calculated using 1/2 of

MEK concentration is less than twice the POL and is believed to be insignificant. The
average concentration of toluene is calculated as 3.3 µg/kg. The toluene POL was
reported as 2 µg/kg. The average toluene concentration is less than twice the POL -
and is believed to be insignificant. The average xylene concentration is calculated as
6.0 µg/kg and the xylene POL is reported as 4 µg/kg. The average xylene
concentration is less than twice the POL and believed to be insignificant.
4.4 FINAL RINSE OF FLOOR WASH
The final rinse sample of the concrete floor was collected to assist in the
determination of washing effectiveness. The analytical result of this rinse sample
indicated no analytes were detected. This would indicate that the washing of the floor
~-was successful in removing any contaminants that may have remained from the
operation of the incinerator. Furthermore, because contaminants were detected in the
drums of floor wash/absorbent and not detected in the final rinse of the floor, it is
indicative that if any contamination was present prior to the wash it has been removed
and decontamination of the concrete floor beneath the incinerator was successful.
The results also indicate that the detected constituents in the solidified floor wash may
be attributed to the absorbent material.
4.5 BACKGROUND SAMPLES
All five sample results indicate t~at no contamination was detected ln any of the
soil samples collected. All results are below the POL of the laboratory for all analytes
tested.

SECTION 5
STATISTICAL EVALUATIONS
The approved closure plan specifies that standard statistical procedures will be
used to demonstrate that the 99 percent upper confidence limit for each constituent is
equal to background conditions found at the site. The plan further states that analysis
of variance (ANOVA) technique will be used to ascertain whether there is a difference
between the mean analytical values of the background samples and the waste
management area samples at the 1 percent level of significance. Using the
procedures described in Statistical Analysis for Decisionmaking, Charles Nickerson,
Petrocelli Books, Inc. 1978, pages 257 to 274, one can calculate the confidence
interval and determine the significance of the differences. For calculation purposes
one half of the reported POL value was used to calculate mean values and variances.
Because the computed value of the F statistic is less than the critical F values
for the 99 percent fractile (1 % level of significant) tables, no waste management
samples are significantly different than the background samples. Tables? through 13
provide the approximate calculations for those constituents that were positively
detected.
Based on the statistical analysis and because 1) the closure generated solid
waste that did not exhibit the characteristic of a hazardous waste, 2) the waste is not
derived from the treatment of a listed hazardous waste, and 3) the waste meets all
hazardous waste land disposal restriction, it may be disposed in a Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D nonhazardous waste landfill and in
accordance with State and local solid waste disposal requirements.
