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 />
