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 />
137; cobalt-60; jiptunium-237;_ plutonium-2391240;<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 />
