F.1.4.S Earthwork to Prepare Working Area Adjacent to 221-U. Following removal of<br />

aboveground structures and associated buried piping, the area surrounding 221-U would be<br />

leveled and compacted in preparation for placement of the engineered fill. The subgradc<br />

compaction and fill placement are the first steps for construction of the environmental cap.<br />

removed from all areas of the complex and managed in accordance with ARARs. AII waste<br />

Operation of the complex for Alternative 3 refers specifically to waste acceptance and placement<br />

inside the three galleries and on the eanyon , deekggny2n deck of 221-U. Engineered<br />

fill would be installed around the exterior of 221-U as waste is placed inside it.<br />

In the preceding function, the area surrounding 221-U would have been prepared to support<br />

construction of the environmental cap, all equipment that would interfere with placement of<br />

containerized waste would have been placed in the process cells or removed, and exposed<br />

surfaces inside the canyon would have been decontaminated or a fixative applied. The roofing<br />

on 221-U would also be replaced to minimize the potential for precipitation entering the building<br />

during the operational phase of this alternative. The steps to operate the complex are discussed<br />

below.<br />

The volume of waste placed inside the 221-U Building in Alternative 3 is estimated as 13.500 m3<br />

(17,500 yd3). This includes 3,400 m3 (4,400 yd) of legacy equipment placed inside theprocess<br />

ceils,1,500 m3 (2,000 yd) of waste inside containers in the three galleries, and 8,600 m<br />

(11,200 yd3) of waste placed on the operating deck and craneway. An estimated 51.200 m3<br />

(67,000Aof grout would be used in this alternative to surround the waste and fill voids in the<br />

process cells, hot pipe trench, galleries, canyon deck/craneway, and the building's ventilation<br />

tunnel.<br />

In the Phase I FS, consideration had been given to reserving the process cells only for disposal of<br />

Class C wastes at 221-U because of the high degree of isolation and shielding provided by the<br />

process cells. However, i n this final FS, there is a need to clear the operating deck to support<br />
