Liquid Effluent Retention Facility

The three basins shown in this photo of the Liquid Effluent Retention Facility are lined with two, flexible, high-density polyethylene membranes.

This facility consists of three RCRA-compliant surface basins that temporarily store liquid waste, including condensate from the 242-A Evaporator. Approximately 32.7 million liters (8.6 million gallons) of liquid waste were stored in the facility's basins at the end of 2001.
