Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP), located at 4050 Peppers Ferry Road, Radford, Virginia, 24141. BAE and the US Army will hold an informal public meeting on Friday, September 23, 2022, at the Christiansburg Public Library, located at 125 Sheltman Street, Christiansburg, Virginia, 24073 on a modern thermal treatment facility that is planned for the site. The presentation on the project will begin at 6:00 p.m. and will be followed by an open question and answer period.
BAE and the Army are proposing to install a new energetic waste incineration and contaminated waste processing (EWI-CWP) complex at the RFAAP. This project, which was initially permitted under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) program in 2018 and noticed to the public at that time, is currently in the final design stages. RFAAP is currently updating the RCRA permit to incorporate design modifications and operational details for the contained burn chamber (CBC) that is included in the EWI-CWP complex.
The CBC will be subject to regulation under the RCRA program as well as the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors (HWC NESHAP) and is intended to process many of the wastes currently processed at the facility’s open burning ground. The public meeting announced today will be held to discuss how the CBC in the EWI-CWP complex will comply with the emission standards provided by the HWC NESHAP.
A copy of the draft HWC NESHAP Notification of Intent to Comply (NIC) and draft Comprehensive Performance Test (CPT) Plan containing information about our plans for compliance are available for viewing at the following location:
