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 />

17<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 />
