Appendix E- Detailed Description of Alternative 1: DoFntir2001.1 t<br />
Full Removal and Disposal Rev. e rafi<br />
Redline/Strikeout<br />
I shield waste from precipitation. Demolition activities would be scheduled to occur after the<br />
2 equipment removal is complete and the fixative sealer has been applied to surfaces with<br />
3 smearablc or loose contamination. Scalers would be used to prevent dangerous/radioactive<br />
4 contaminants from seeping/Ieaching out of the waste containment.<br />
5<br />
6 Personnel and equipment leaving the site would present a risk of contaminant migration. This<br />
7 risk would be mitigated by procedural and physical measures. Work procedures would require<br />
8 that equipment used on the site and exposed to dangerous/radioactive wastes be decontaminated<br />
9 before the equipment is released. Personnel working the site would wear proper protective<br />
10 clothing. Protective clothing exposed to dangerous/tadioactive wastes would be controlled in<br />
11 accordance with <strong>Hanford</strong> <strong>Site</strong> procedures. Personnel ]taving radiologically contaminated areas<br />
12 would require an exit survey before leaving.<br />
13<br />
14 Hazardous materials are expected to present minimal hazard to personnel or the environment.<br />
15 All waste m 4e&lswaSte would be sampled, tested, and designated as required by applicable or<br />
16 relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs) and applicable waste acceptance criteria.<br />

18 E.1.2 Establish Infrastructure<br />
19<br />
20 Implementation of Alternative 1 remediation activities would rely heavily upon the existing<br />
^ 21 221-U Facility complex infrastructure. Some modification of the existing building and utilities<br />
22 would be necessary to support this alternative.<br />
23<br />
24 E.1.2.1 Modify Existing Infrastructure. Where possible, the existing utilities would be used<br />
25 to support Alternative 1 activities. The basic approach to establishing the infrastructure for this<br />
26 alternative would be to use the existing road network within the complex and relocate water and<br />
27 electrical service terminals outside the perimeter fence. The existing road network surrounding<br />
28 the 221-U Facility would adequately accommodate heavy equipment during demolition<br />
29 operations, as well as waste hauling traffic to ERDF. Additional spurs off paved roadways for<br />
30 heavy equipment access and waste loading activities would be constructed, as required. The<br />
31 existing main crane would be recertified, and the heating/air conditioning systems in the crane<br />
32 cab would be replaced.<br />
33<br />
34 Water mains and sewer pipelines inside the exclusion fence would be terminated and relocated<br />
35 outside the fence. Temporary water lines would be installed, as required, for sanitary<br />
36 requirements, ftre-suppression systems, decontamination operations, and dust control as needed.<br />
37 Main transformers for electric power to the 221-U Facility would be relocated outside of the<br />
38 exclusion fence. Temporary 480-volt electrical lines and panels would be installed in the<br />
39 building as required for lighting, ventilation, and equipment operations.<br />
40<br />
41 E.12.2 Establish Support Facilities. Alternative 1 would also require administrative offices,<br />
42 change rooms, tool rooms, lunchroom, restrooms, and storage rooms. During the initial<br />
^43 equipment removal stage, this support could be provided from the 271-U Building. Its use<br />
44 would only be practical during the initial stages of 221-U modifications. The 271-U Building<br />
45 would be removed to allow access to the 221-U Facility for demolition.<br />
