1 Personnel and equipment leaving the site present a risk of contaminant migration. This risk<br />
2 would be mitigated by procedural and physical measures. Work procedures would require<br />
3 equipment used on the site and exposed to dangerous/radioactive wastes to be decontaminated<br />
4 before the equipment is released. Personnel working at the site would wear proper protective<br />
5 clothing. Protective clothing exposed to dangerous/radioactive wastes would be controlled in<br />
6 accordance with <strong>Hanford</strong> <strong>Site</strong> procedures. Personnel leaving radiologically contaminated areas<br />
7 would require an exit survey before leaving.<br />

9 Hazardous materials are expected to present minimal hazard to personnel or the environment.<br />
10 ^ All avestefnatetie4swostc would be sampled, tested, and designated as required by applicable or<br />
11 relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs) and applicable waste acceptance criteria.<br />

13 G.1.2 Establish Infrastructurc<br />
14<br />
15 Implementation of Alternative 4 remediation activities would rely heavily upon the existing<br />
16 221-U Facility complex infrastructure. Some modification of the existing building and utilities<br />
17 would be necessary to support this alternative. These and other mobilization such as preparation<br />
18 of staging areas would be necessary to prepare the complex to support Alternative 4 activities.<br />
19 G.1.2.1 Modify Existing Infrastructure. The existing utilities where possible would be used<br />
(0^\20 to support Alternative 4 activities. The basic approach to establishing the infrastructure for this<br />
21 alternative would be to use the existing road network within the complex and relocate water and<br />
22 electrical service terminals outside the footprint of the Alternative 4 environmental cap. The<br />
23 environmental cap for this alternative is larger than that of Alternative 6 and equal in size to the<br />
24 Alternative 3 cap.<br />
25<br />
26 The existing road network surrounding the 221-U Facility would adequately accommodate<br />
27 equipment during waste delivery operations, waste-hauling traffic, and traffic associated with<br />
28 construction of the environmental cap. Additional spurs off paved roadways for heavy<br />
29 equipment access and waste movement activities would be constructed, as required.<br />
30<br />
31 Immediately before demolition of 27I-U, water mains and sewer pipelines located within the<br />
32 environmental cap footprint would be sealed at the outer edge of the environmental cap.<br />
33 Temporary water lines would be installed, as required, for sanitary requirements, fire-<br />
34 suppression systems, decontamination operations, and dust control. Main transformers for<br />
35 electric power to the 221-U Facility would be relocated outside of the perimeter of the<br />
36 environmental cap. Temporary 480-volt electrical lines and panels would be installed in the<br />
37 building, as required, for lighting, ventilation, and equipment operations. The electrical service<br />
38 would need to include power supply to a new air-handling unit on the roof of 221-U.<br />
39<br />
40 The existing main bridge crane would be recertified for use during equipment handling within<br />
41 the canyon. At the same time, minor modifications and repairs would be made to the main crane,<br />
n 42 including repair of the heating and air conditioning systems.<br />
