5. No surface contamination removal from interior surfaces of 221-U is included in<br />
Alternative 4. All concrete surfaces would receive applications of fixatives.<br />

atereci inside of 221-U would be performed using conventional, proven technologies.<br />

7. Following minor mechanical modifications and recertification, the existing main crane in the<br />
221-U Facility would be functional and ready for use in Alternative 4 activities. Crane use<br />
would be limited to moving of equipment from the process cells to the eanyeneperet9rtg<br />
deEltc:ln,von dcck where the equipment would be reduced in size and volume, as necessary,<br />
and then placed back into the process cells. The main crane would also be used to move the<br />
equipment from the canyon deck during size and volume reduction and to place the<br />
equipment into the process cells. As part of these activities, the crane would be used for<br />
cover block movement.<br />

S. All underground piping systems located beneath the environmental cap footprint for<br />
Alternative 4 would be gmuted in place or removed as part of the alternative . based on the<br />
outcome of ris assessment work . 9his moved waste would be disposed at ERDF.<br />

10. The canyon interior (including the process cells, hot pipe trench, and associated ventilation<br />
tunnel) and the rail tunnel interior are considered to be contaminated. The galleries are<br />
considered to be uncontaminated except for some areas of the southeast wall that would<br />
require fixative application.<br />

11. The 221-U Facility is located within the exclusive land-use boundary identified in the Final<br />
<strong>Hanford</strong> Comprehensive land-Use Plan Environmental Impact Statement (DOE 1999) and<br />
the associated "<strong>Hanford</strong> Comprehensive I.and-Use Plan Environmental Impact Statement<br />
30 (HCP EIS), <strong>Hanford</strong> <strong>Site</strong>, Richland, Washington: Record of Decision (RODy' (64 Federal<br />
31 Register 61615). This implies that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) would remain in<br />
32 control of the 200 Areas and industrial-exclusive land use would be limited to waste<br />
33 management activities.<br />
34<br />
35 12. Only remediation waste generated at the <strong>Hanford</strong> <strong>Site</strong> would be disposed in the facility.<br />
36 Immobilized low-activity waste was considered but Is not included in the waste inventory for<br />
37 disposal at 22 1 -U.<br />

13. Waste containers would be open-top cargo containers. The containers would have the<br />
approximate dimensions of 5 in long by 2.4 m wide by 2.6 in high ( 16 ft long by 8 ft wide by<br />
8.5 ft high). This size would allow container placement two abreast on the eanyen epefatieg<br />
42 deekcanyon deck . Containers would be placed using special shielded forklifts designed to<br />
