Appendix F - Detailed Description of Alternative 3: DoEIRtr2oot-1 I<br />
Entombment with Internal Waste Disposal Rev. e raft<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 />
