The 221-U Facility and surrounding areas have been<br />

disturbed by Industrial activities and have little<br />

vegetative cover. Public access to the 221-U Facility<br />

is prohibited at the present time.<br />

Potential contaminants that must be eansidered in the 44<br />

alternative evalua6on of On 221-U Facility include 45<br />

substances currently present within the canyon building 46<br />

and those associated with wastes to be received under the 47<br />

eontainmem alterwtives. The predominant<br />

eontandnrnls of concern are radionuclides.<br />

considered to be of eoncern are americium-441; eesium-<br />

atrontium-90; and isotopes of europium, thorium, and<br />

manium. Cternical contaminants of concern currently<br />

within the facility are amimonv. araenic, )Z,itislhL<br />

cadmium, chromimn, k.ad, tnactvy, pbdulates, and<br />

polychlorinated biphenyls. seleniVM. silver. and y^:tnium .<br />

Based on analyses of materials disposed at the<br />

Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility (ERDF), the<br />

following radionuclides and nonndionuctides would also<br />

be contaminants of concern for alternatives that would<br />

usc the 221-U Facility as a disposal facility: carbon-14,<br />

technetiunt-99, ttidutn, antimenyberylliutn, petroleum<br />

hydrocarbons, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons.<br />

41 SCOPE AND ROLE OF ACTION<br />

This Proposed Plan presents the interirn•-remedial<br />

action for contaminated atructures, soil, and debris at<br />

the 221-U Facility. The scope of the i+werini-remedial<br />

action includes only the 221-U Facility (which<br />

includes the 271-U Support Services Building and the<br />

276-U Solvent Handling Facility). -ldjaeent-streetutes<br />
