Appendix G -Detailed Description ofAlternative 4: DoFJRtr2oo1-1 i<br />

Entombment with Internal and External Waste Disposal Rev.1 Draft n<br />

Redlinc/Strikeout<br />

1 canyon surface to reduce the dose rate and contamination risk to the lowest possible level. Water<br />

2 jet, water blasting, or water-flushing activities would be more difficult if completed after the<br />

3 process cell drain header and cells are grouted because all water would need to be collected and<br />

4 taken to the 200 Area's Liquid Effluent Remediation Facility for treatment. If any surface<br />

5 removal work is identified, carbon dioxide blasting or scarifying would be the preferred method<br />

6 for its removal instead of water blasting or flushing.<br />

7<br />

8 G.13.6 Fix Contamination on 221-U Interior Surfaces. After the cover blocks are placed and<br />

9 grouted on the process cells and hot pipe trench, the existing bridge eFanesg= would no longer<br />

10 be needed. Use of the eFe-es= ranc for movement of the containerized waste would be a potential<br />

11 source of contamination. 'Therefore, they would be parked at the north end of 221- U, their oil<br />

12 would be drained, and the power source disconnected.<br />

13<br />

14 + It is assumed that surface contamination on the canyon walls, 4aesrcAq3on deck s, and ceiling can<br />

15 be addressed with application of a fixative. This fixative would be applied after all equipment<br />

16 removal (including the bridge crane) and grouting in the canyon is complete. It would provide<br />

17 containment for loose surface contamination during containerized waste placement within the<br />

18 ^ canyon. Prior to beginning container placement on the n on de k, the<br />

19 fixative application would be inspected.<br />

20<br />

^21 G.IA Modify External Area<br />

22<br />

23 The following modifications would be performed to support placement of waste inside 221-U.<br />

24 Before waste placement begins within 221-U, the aboveground structures that are physically<br />

25 attached to 221-U and those that are located within the footprint of the environmental cap must<br />

26 be removed. In addition, prior remediation (by others) of waste sites within the footprint of the<br />

27 environmental cap would be verified.<br />

28<br />

29 The Alternative 4 approach conservatively assumes that all demolition debris from the legacy<br />

30 structures would be disposed at ERDF. During final design this assumption could be revisited to<br />

31 determine if decontaminating and recycling steps could be economically included to support<br />

32 DOE waste minimization goals.<br />

33<br />

34 G.1.4.1 Disposition or Aboveground Structures. The aboveground structures identified in<br />

35 Assumption 2 at the beginning of this appendix would be demolished as part of Alternative 4.<br />

36<br />

37 G.1.4.1.1 Demolition or the 276-U Solvent Recovery Facility. The 276-U Solvent Recovery<br />

38 Facility, attached to the southwest end of the 221-U Facility, is composed of walkways, tanks,<br />

39 and associated piping set in an open-concrete basin. Decommissioning would involve removing<br />

40 the tanks, walkways. and all aboveground piping. All pipe penetrations associated with this<br />

41 structure would be cut, sealed, and capped. Drains would be sealed with concrete. Concrete<br />

42 surfaces would be decontaminated,ifrequired,using selected off-the-shelfteehnologies.<br />

(ON3<br />

44 The concrete slabs and wall would be demolished with conventional dcmolition equipment.<br />

45 Demolition debris would be taken to ERDF for final disposal. An option during final design<br />
