Appendix F - Detailed Description of Alternative 3: DoEIRtr2oot-1 I<br />

Entombment with Internal Waste Disposal Rev. e raft<br />

RedlinclStrikeout<br />

1 The existing bridge crane would be recertified for use during equipment handling within the<br />

2 canyon. At the same time, minor modifications and repairs would be made to the crane,<br />

3 including repair of the heating and air conditioning systems.<br />

4<br />

5 The final step modifying the 221-U Facility for this alternative is replacement of its roof<br />

6 covering (versus the roof structure). To prevent precipitation from entering the building during<br />

7 waste handling activities within the canyon, a new roof covering would be installed.<br />

8<br />

9 F.1.2.2 Establish Support Facilities. Alternative 3 would also require administrative offices,<br />

10 change rooms, tool rooms, lunchroom, restrooms, and storage rooms. During the initial activities<br />

11 such as equipment sizing, equipment placement in the process cells, and demolition of attached<br />

12 structures, this support could be provided from the 271-U Building. The use would be practical<br />

13 only during the initial stages of 221-U modifications.. Although there would be no need for close<br />

14 crane access to 221-U, 271-U Building demolition would still occurearly in this alternative.<br />

15 Removal of this building would allow preparation of the electrical gallery for waste placement<br />

16 and access for backlilling. The backfill would start on the northwest side of the 221-U Facility<br />

17 as the galleries are filled with waste.<br />

18<br />

19 Mobile office units would be brought to the site to provide support office space at that point.<br />

0 These facilities would be located outside the construction area for the environmental cap.<br />

^1 A construction perimeter fence would be installed to control access into and out of the work<br />

22 zone. A main change room for nonradioactive work would be located outside the exclusion<br />

23 fence. Existing telephone and electrical lines would be used to support office and clerical<br />

24 requirements. Existing <strong>Hanford</strong> <strong>Site</strong> fire protection and ambulance services would be adequate<br />

25 for emergency response.<br />

26<br />

27 F.1.2.3 Establish Staging Areas. Personnel staging areas would be included in the space<br />

28 requirement for the support facilities. This would include change rooms, meeting facilities, and<br />

29 other construction activity support areas. Equipment storage, waste qucucs, decontamination<br />

30 areas, survey tents, container storage, and other staging requirements would be included in the<br />

31 layout of support requirements for Alternative 3.<br />

32<br />

33 F.1.3 Modify Facility<br />

34<br />

35 In preparation for the operational phase of this alternative, the 221-U Facility would require<br />

36 modifications. The first step would be to prepare the facility by evaluating it for the intended use<br />

37 and making modifications as necessary. A major part of this step would be preparing a new<br />

38 building ventilation system and blocking the existing system. The existing equipment on the<br />

39 ^ an would be placed into the process cells, and both the cells and<br />

40 pipe trench would be grouted. The railroad tunnel would be demolished to improve access to the<br />

41 221-U Facility. The final modification step would be to address surface contamination with a<br />

42 fixative application to prepare the canyon for the start of waste emplacement activities.<br />
