This paper discusses the key findings from American Water Works Association Research
Foundation (AwwaRF) project 2695, Management of the Disposal of Radioactive Residuals from
Drinking Water Treatment, particularly with respect to radium removal. For each of the major
radium removal technologies that are either in use or anticipated to be in use for treating
radionuclides, flow chart guidance was developed to assist utilities in developing optimal disposal
methods for these residuals. Additionally, incidental removal radionuclides that may pose disposal
concerns are also addressed. In general, the research indicated that there
were no significant disposal issues or concerns associated with these residuals, and it was
recommended that utilities take sufficient precautionary steps to document their practices. Includes table, figures.
