Appendix F -Detailed Description of Alternative 3: DOFJRL-2001-11<br />

IEntombment with Internal Waste Disposal Rev. e,-df<br />

n Redline/Strikenut<br />

1 ^ 92;1. Containers would be placed using special shielded forklifts designed to limit operator<br />

2 exposure during container handling.<br />

3<br />

4 14. Waste received for placement would arrive at the site containerized in the cargo containers<br />

5 complete with an application of fixative to the container interior. Costs associated with<br />

6 placing waste into the containers and application of the fixative would be incurred by the<br />

7 waste generators and are not included in this altemative.<br />

8<br />

9 15. Backfill around exterior of the 221-U and waste inside the canyon would be placed evenly as<br />

10 the building is gradually filled with waste to prevent a large differential load on the canyon<br />

1 I wall. Waste would be placed in lifts along the full length of 221-U to eliminate the potential<br />

12 of a large load difference between adjacent sections of the building.<br />

13<br />

14 16. Due to the uncettainties associated with both the volume of contaminated equipment<br />

15 ^ currently located on the eanyon o deelicinyan deck and inside of the process cells<br />

16 and the degree of equipment volume reduction that is achievable, it is assumed that only this<br />

17 contaminated equipment would be disposed in the 221-U process cells. It is further assumed<br />

18 that there is not sufficient space to accept additional waste from other sites for placement<br />

19 inside the process cells. The exception is cell 3, which is expcxted to have room for<br />

20 ^ placement of waste in addition to that from the eanyeneper '<br />

22 17. The existing 0.6•m{tiameter cell drain header located beneath 221-U would be grouted solid<br />

23 to immobilize contamination in this pipe.<br />

24<br />

25 18. A new ventilation system with replaceable high-efficiency particulate air (IIEPA) filter banks<br />

26 would be installed on the northeast end of the 221-U roof. It would replace the existing<br />

27 ventilation tunnel and stack ventilation system. The new ventilation system would stay in<br />

28 operation until the canyon is filled with waste and grouted.<br />

29<br />

30 19. Internal void spaces associated with wastes disposed inside of 221-U would be filled with<br />

31 grout and pressure grouted. Where large voids are grouted (such as around the cargo<br />

32 containers and inside the cells), a low-cement-content grout would be used. This grout<br />

33 would have a limited potential for heat buildup due to a low heat of hydration, yet would<br />

34 provide sufficient compressive strength for the intended service.<br />

35<br />

36 20. While sources for some materials required for construction of an environmental cap have not<br />

37 yet been identified, it is assumed that sufficient quantities of materials necessary for the clean<br />

38 fill and construction of the environmental cap are available locally.<br />

39<br />

40 21. A modified Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) Subtitle C engineered<br />

41 barrier would be constructed to protect the 221-U Facility and its contents from infiltration<br />

42 and intrusion.<br />
