Maybe, maybe not:
J3: Lead Slag – lead slag samples were obtained from a battery recycling center located in the southeast area of the United States. The samples were successfully treated to below the RCRA regulatory limit using a 5 wt% MBS application.
Do you consider Exide Battery in Frisco, Texas, U.S.A. to be "southeastern"? If so, then this might be the location of the lead slag that J3 ran MBS tests on at the EPA Certified lab.
The Exide Battery Recycling Center (Frisco, Texas) is a former lead acid battery recycling complex. Exide Technologies (Exide), the current owner, and its predecessors operated the facility for this purpose from 1969 to November 30, 2012.
It processed used lead-acid batteries and other lead-bearing materials into several lead products. The process produced a lead slag, which was processed and disposed of in a Class II landfill on-site. The process also produced battery-case chips, which were disposed of off-site, and waste acid, which was treated through the on-site wastewater-treatment system.
This project includes investigation, remediation, and certification of the remedy for the Exide Former Operating Plant. The Former Operating Plant consists of the Exide Frisco Recycling Center’s former production/operation area (battery recycling and secondary lead smelting facility), four landfills (three closed landfills and one landfill that is active and designated the “Open Landfill”), and ancillary facilities.
If J3 successfully treated the samples, then there could be a remediation contract to follow.
