Letter RW:2007:0024 (97352), K. I. McConnell to B. C. Bower, "U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Comments on 30% Design for NDA Cap and Slurry Wall," dated May 22, 2007

Dear Mr. McConnell:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) appreciates the NRC's review and comments on the 30%

Design of the NDA Cap and Slurry Wall Project. The purpose of this project is to minimize the infiltration of surface water and groundwater into the NDA so that water contact with the buried wastes is minimized and the transport of any contamination through the soil is slowed. The design includes an impermeable geomembrane, slurry barrier wall, surface water detention basins, and appropriate drainage systems.

The NDA is a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action Solid Waste Management Unit. Any modification will also require approval from the New York State Department of Conservation (NYSDEC) Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste under the RCRA 3008(h) Administrative Order on Consent and the Division of Water (for storm water management requirements). As such, all construction work in the NDA will be performed under an NYSDEC approved Interim Measure Work Plan (IMWP).

The planned design life of the proposed NDA cap and barrier slurry wall is 30 years. Periodic inspections and maintenance of the membrane and drainage systems will be performed until such other long term decisions are made. Although the membrane is warranted by the manufacturer for only 10 years with direct exposure to the elements, actual experience with this material under similar conditions on the adjacent State-licensed Disposal Area (SDA) indicates this material should last longer than the 10 years. To the extent that some or all of the membrane may need to be replaced over this 30-year period, it is expected that this work will be addressed in accordance with the RCRA 3008(h) Administrative Order on Consent.

The final design review for the NDA Cap has been completed and the design documents updated with the comments received. Enclosed is a copy of the final design draft report document together with DOE's responses to NRC's comments on the 30% Design Review (Attachments A

& B). Please note that DOE and its subcontractors are evaluating the final design based upon NRC's comments on extreme flood scenarios. Upon completion of this evaluation, a technical justification report will be provided to NRC.

Mr. Keith I. McConnell July 5, 2007 If you have any questions regarding these responses, please contact Moira Maloney of my staff at (716) 942-4255.

.WEST VALLEY NRC COMMENTS ON 30% DESIGN FOR NDA SURFACE WATER HYDROLOGY AND EROSION PROTECTION

1. Selection of Design FloOd: The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff notes that the NRC Licensed Disposal Areas (NDA) cover has been designed for the 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event. However, the staff considers that this design approach may not be adequately protective of public health and safety, because it is not unlikely that a larger flood could occur and cause significant damage to the proposed design. It should be recognized that the 25-year flood has about a 70% probability of being equaled or exceeded during the 30-year interim stabilization period. If a lesser probability of occurrence, such as 5%, is selected, the design flood would have a probability of occurrence of about once in 600 years. Similarly, if a 10% probability of occurrence in 30 years (90% probability of non-occurrence) is used, the design flood would be a 300-year flood.

In its regulation of nuclear facilities, the NRC has generally required that licensees either design those facilities for very large flood events or show that erosion from such floods would not result in release of regulated materials. This practice has been applied in the recent past at sites such as uranium mill tailings facilities, and the NRC staff has developed guidance on the selection of design floods for such facilities. For a wide range of design conditions and risk considerations, NUREG-1 623, "Design of Erosion Protection for Long-Term Stabilization" (available on the NRC website), provides the rationale and guidance for the selection of design floods.

The staff recommends that the US Department of Energy (DOE) follow the general guidance given in NUREG-1 623 and that DOE select a design flood that has a relatively low probability of occurrence. As suggested In NUREG-1 623, the design flood could be about 1/2 of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF), which corresponds approximately to a 200-500 year flood (which would have a 5-10% probability of occurrence in the 30-year stabilization period). Due to the lack of historic data for very small drainage areas, such as those present at the West Valley site, runoff from % of the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is recommended. For Information purposes, % of the 5-minute PMP for Buffalo, New York is estimated by the NRC staff to be about 3 inches. This estimate of 3 inches in 5 minutes is inconsistent with the proposed 25-year, 24-hour value of 4 inches in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

We recognize: (1) that the design will provide only interim stabilization; (2) that the design intent is not to provide engineering measures that are elaborate and costly; and, (3) that the design should not convey a sense of permanence. Therefore, as an alternate measure, DOE could demonstrate that the design, as currently proposed, is capable of withstanding a much larger rainfall event (such as 14 of the PMP), even though it is actually designed only for the smaller event (25-year event). The NRC staff could concur in the latter course of action. See Comment 3, below.

2. Design Questions and Comments: The staff recognizes that the design is only conceptual and that many analyses have not yet been done, It is not clear how much additional information DOE intends to provide in future reports, but the NRC staff has several questions and comments related to how various design factors were considered.
a. Rainfall Intensqty and Peak Flows: It is not clear how peak discharges were determined. For all aspects of the design where rainfall intensity and peak discharge-are factors, DOE should discuss the basis for computation of the rainfall intensity. For Enclosure

PLAY-24-200? 21t49 P. 04 2

example, if the time of concentration for a specific design feature (such as a swale) was computed to be 5 minutes, DOE should provide information related to the 25-year, 5-minute rainfall and the basis for computation of flow rates and times of concentration (recognizing that they will be very short over the sloping smooth liner).

b. Berms: It is not clear if the berms have sufficient capacity to safely store and pass the design flood. Also, it is not clear it the berms are sufficient to prevent flood runoff from upstream drainage areas from overtopping the berms and flowing onto the lined cap area. More information, such as water surface profiles and peak discharges, should be developed to assess the adequacy of the diversion berms.
c. Liner: It is not clear that the liner, especially the field seams, is capable of withstanding the flow velocities in the swales along the outer edges of the liner. We note that the swales have slopes as great as 4.1%. Such slopes are considered to be hydraulically steep and are capable of producing very high velocities on the smooth liner. Additional information is needed to show that the flow velocities are not excessive.

d Effects on State Ucenced Disposal Area (SDA): It is not clear if the new NDA design will have any adversre effects on the SDA. DOE should assess the effects of flooding and flow velocities at the NDA and how the NDA design could potentially affect the SDA.

3. Recommendations: If DOE chooses to provide an analyses to show that the design will not be adversely affected by floods larger than the chosen design flood, additional information and analyses should be developed to document the conclusions, These analyses should include detailed information related to the various design factors discussed in Comment 2, above. The information should show: (1) how the facilities were designed for the 25-year flood; and, (2) how the design is capable of providing adequate protection for larger floods.

The NRC staff believes that relatively simple measures can be provided that will protect the NDA from erosion during the occurrence of a large flood event, such as the !6 of the PMF. The staff recommends that DOE consider using several simple measures to prevent erosion.

a. Assuming that the berms at the retention basins will be overtopped by the large flood, DOE could provide overflow spillways and aprons constructed with large rock to prevent erosion by the overtopping flows. All of the basins appear to be vulnerable, The capacity of the discharge pipes could also be increased to prevent overtopping.
b. Assuming that the diversion berms (which appear to be only a few feet high) will be overtopped from flows outside the NDA, the berms could be raised several feel. Water surface profiles and velocity estimates may be needed to confirm the adequacy of the berm and the capacity of the drainage swales, both inside and outside the lined area.
c. Based on the need for recent placement of rock in eroded problem areas near the NDA, rock erosion protection Is probably needed in those areas where flows will concentrate or where flow velocities may be excessive: Specifically, rock will likely be needed on steeper slopes (and the toes of those slopes) and in the area of the NDA near to Erdman Brook. For example, rock spillways could be used to minimize erosion potential if the retention basins were to be overtopped by large floods. Also, rock could be used to further stabilize specific areas of erosion (such as existing nickpoints, gullies, or eroding slopes).

4. General Comment on Future Actions: The NRC staff may have further comments on the NDA design after discussions with DOE and further review of additional information.. In addition, the staff would like to make future recommendations regarding performance monitoring after a final design has been selected. The purpose of the performance monitoring would be to develop additional information during the 30-year interim stabilization period, in keeping with stated goals to collect more information and to improve erosion models. In addition, careful site monitoring during this period may result in design changes necessary to mitigate specific erosion problems.

Attachment B DOE Responses to NRC Comments on 30% Design for NDA Surface Water Hydrology and Erosion Protection Comment 1: Selection of Design Flood Response: The 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event using a 4.2 inch storm event was selected as the design criterion due to a number of factors:

  • This criterion was used as the design basis for capping the State-licensed Disposal Area (SDA) immediately adjacent to the NDA with the identical XR-5 geomembrane and steeper slopes than planned for the NDA.
  • The basis for the storm water design is from the New York State Codes of Rules and Regulations, 6 NYCRR 373-3.14(j), "Interim Status Standards for Hazardous Waste Management Facilities, Landfills, Design and Operating Requirements, which identify the design and operating requirements as a 25-year, 24-hour storm.
  • Criteria are also called out in the Project's State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit with the New York State Department of Conservation, Division of Water identifying the storm water activities related to construction activities to follow the requirement outlined in the "General Permit for Construction Activity - Permit No. GP-02-01.
  • The Safety Analysis Report (SAR) for Waste Processing and Support Activities, WVNS-SAR-001, Revision 10 (current), has analyzed the site for a 24-hour probable maximum precipitation (PMP) event with a total precipitation of 24.9 inches with the consequences being flooding and erosion. The SAR indicates that the NDA and SDA will be above the 100-year floodwater elevation and such a flood will not impact any safety-related facilities but would be expected to erode the banks of the NDA and SDA including resulting gully head advancement. The SAR goes on to state that it is not necessary to provide flood protection measures anywhere on site.

The NDA will continue to be monitored during the proposed 30-year period and any erosion detrimental to the potential integrity' of the NDA will be addressed. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), required by-New York State Division of Water and included in the RCRA Interim Measure Work Plan, specifies the requirement to incorporate erosion and pollution prevention controls in the design. Also, as required by the NRC license, all waste has been buried with at least a 4-foot earthen cover. Due to the existence of this earthen cap, the application of NUREG-1623 is viewed as overly conservative.

DOE and its subcontractor agree to demonstrate that the final design is capable of withstanding the NRC-proposed one half of the 5-minute PMP or 3 inches of precipitation.

The scope of work for this engineering analysis has been completed and is currently being prepared by the subcontracted design firm. DOE will provide the NRC with the final report when it is available, currently expected by July 31, 2007.

B-1

Comment 2: Design Questions and Comments Response: Rainfall Intensity and Peak Flows: The completed Storm Water Pollution Protection Plan (SWPPP) addresses how peak discharges are computed from the rainfall intensity.

Berms: The SWPPP documents that the volume of the three detention basins is adequate for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event or 4.3 inches of rainwater. As outlined in the response to Comment 1, DOE will provide a supplemental report that will address the adequacy of the existing design to withstand the NRC-proposed 1/2/2 of the 5-minute PMP or 3 inches of precipitation. DOE will provide the NRC with the final report when it is available, currently expected by July 31, 2007.

Liner: The membrane covered slopes of the NDA are not as steep as some slopes of the adjacent SDA, which is covered with the same XR-5 geomembrane; and there have been no reported issues with the membrane or seams in the areas of the steeper slopes over the initial 12 years of service. Whenever possible, geomembrane seams will be aligned with the direction of surface water flow to minimize potential damage from high velocity storm water flow. DOE and its contractor will discuss the concern and impacts of high surface water velocities on the XR-5 geomembrane, including its factory and field welded seams, and provide a summary to the NRC at the same time that the supplemental storm water report described above is provided.

Effects on State Licensed Disposal Area (SDA): The completed design has been modeled and indicates no significant impact to the adjacent SDA. This is documented in the final design report and an ongoing supplemental report specifically addressing the modeling that was performed. This supplemental report will be provided to the NRC with the above deliverables.

Comment 3: Recommendations Response: As mentioned in the response to Comment 1, DOE and its contractor agree to demonstrate that the final design is capable of withstanding the NRC-proposed 1/2 of the 5-minute PMP or 3 inches of precipitation. DOE will provide the NRC with the final report when it is available, currently expected by July 31, 2007. The report will' show how the facilities were designed for the 25-year flood and how the design is capable of providing adequate protection for larger floods.

In addition and in response to the NRC's stated comments, the detention basin overflow drainage pipes were incorporated into the design in lieu of the recommended spillways. Rip rap is incorporated into the final design prevent erosion at the detention basin discharge pipes and specifically in the gully leading to Erdman Brook. As stated in WVNS-SAR-001, Revision 10, the presence of the deep gullies around the NDA and SDA formed by Erdman Brook and Frank's Creek drain flood waters quickly away from the two disposal units and 001 12.bls B-2

documents that both units are not in the 100-year flood plain. In addition, the final design incorporates drainage lines in the geomembrane anchor trench to divert surface water around the planned NDA bermed perimeter. Therefore, the need for high berms around the NDA is unnecessary.

Comment 4: General Comment on Future Actions Response: DOE agrees with the need and desire for performance monitoring over the proposed 30-year design life. To facilitate this, this design incorporates:

0 A series of groundwater monitoring wells upgradient and downgradient along the barrier slurry wall

  • The ability to continue to monitor existing groundwater wells within the NDA, some of which are in the actual burial excavations
  • The continued monitoring of the existing Interceptor Trench that is downgradient of the NDA along the northern and eastern edges The RCRA Interim Measure Work Plan provides for an environmental monitoring plan that will be implemented to address:
  • Landfill leachate elevation monitoring
  • Groundwater elevation monitoring 0 Groundwater sampling and analysis 0 Surface water sampling and analysis 0 Storm water sampling and analysis
  • Gamma radiation monitoring
  • Ground surface elevation
  • Annual integrity certifications for the exposed geomembrane In addition to the above, the NDA will be monitored for ongoing erosion - specifically in the gully leading to Erdman Brook. Appropriate actions will be taken to mitigate erosion that has the potential to impact the NDA cap, barrier slurry wall, and the release of sediment to Erdman Brook.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

West Valley Nuclear Services Company (VVVNSCO) has engaged Butler Construction Company of WNY, Inc. (Butler) and McMahon & Mann Consulting Engineers, P.C. (MMCE) to design a groundwater cutoff wall and a cap for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Licensed Disposal Area (NDA) at the West Valley Demonstration Project in West Valley, New York. Figure 1 shows the site location.

This report and its appendices represent the project's final design stage.

2.0 SITE CONDITIONS The NDA is nearly rectangular in plan and is about 7 acres. It is located near the south end of the West Valley Demonstration Project site. The West Valley Demonstration Project site is generally flat, but the ground surface rises to the west of the site. Several brooks and creeks flow across the site from west to east towards Frank's Creek and Buttermilk Creek located to the east. Figure 2 is a site plan.

The NDA is bounded to the north by Erdman Brook, which generally flows from west to east and discharges into Frank's Creek. The State Disposal Area (SDA) is located immediately east of the NDA and a drainage swale separates the NDA from the SDA. Frank's Creek is located to the east of the SDA and generally flows from south to north. Both Frank's Creek and Erdman Brook are located in ravines with steep side slopes. Access roads are located along the north, west and south sides of the NDA.

The ground surface on the NDA has two mounds, which are higher than the elevation of the access roads along the north, west and south sides. Therefore, the potential for surface water is to flow off the surface of the NDA towards the access roads and drainage swale along the east side and Erdman Brook on the north.

The NDA has buried wastes that were placed in pits, trenches and special holes. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), (Ref. 1), these pits are about 32 feet deep. The WVNSCO base map (Drawing 900E-4974) shows the trench depths ranging from 15 to 32 feet deep. However, Hole 48 is at least 50 feet deep. Waste is buried in 230 special holes that are typically 20 feet deep.

WVNSCO installed an interceptor trench as an interim measure under a RCRA 3008(h) Order on Consent along the north and east sides of the NDA to collect groundwater that was potentially seeping through the ground and discharging into Erdman Brook. The interceptor trenches consist of pipes buried in drainage stone and connected by manholes. The drainage pipes along the north side slope down from west to east and discharge into manhole 4 (refer to WVNSCO Dwg. No. 913-D.0022). The drainage pipes along the east side slope down from south to north and also discharge into manhole 4. Manhole 4 is equipped with a pump that conveys the groundwater collected by the interceptor trench to Lagoon 2 if the water does not

FinalDesign Report Rev. 0 Page 2 of 11 contain organic contaminants. If the water contains organic contaminants above specified action limits, it is pumped to the treatment building located in the northeast corner of the NDA.

3.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The USGS, (Ref. 1) studied the geology and hydrogeology at the West Valley Demonstration Project site and issued a report summarizing its findings in 1987. Additionally, WVNSCO has completed test borings, installed monitoring wells and collected water level measurements in those wells since their installation. We compiled the information published by the USGS (Ref. 1) and the data provided by WVNSCO to develop the following summary of the site geologic and geohydrologic conditions.

3.1 Soil Conditions The USGS report (Ref. 1) contains figures showing the top of rock elevation beneath the NDA.

That elevation decreases from west to east. The top of rock along the west side is about

.Elevation (Elev.) 1240 and about Elev. 1125 on the east side of the NDA. The ground surface in this area is about Elev. 1390, suggesting that overburden ranges from about 150 to 265 feet thick.

The USGS and WVNSCO have described the soil conditions in borings surrounding the NDA.

The primary soil deposit affecting the behavior of the NDA site is the Lavery Till. This deposit covers an underlying fine sand and silt deposit, referred to as the Kent Recessional Sequence.

The USGS describes the Lavery Till as mainly silt and clay. The upper portion is weathered and fractured. The fractures are the primary seepage path for groundwater, which the USGS refers to as a secondary porosity for groundwater transport.

Weathered Lavery Till WVNSCO has drilled test borings and installed groundwater monitoring wells surrounding the NDA and has reported the thickness of the weathered Lavery Till as ranging from 6.4 to 16 feet thick. These measurements agree with the 10 to 13-foot thickness reported by USGS.

The USGS (Ref. 2) describes the uppermost till as being weathered and containing intersecting, oxidized horizontal and vertical fractures and root tubes. This condition extends to 13 feet deep, based on observations in boreholes and excavations. The number of fractures and the fracture width decrease with depth.

WVNSCO measured the horizontal permeability of the weathered Lavery Till using variable head tests in monitoring wells. The horizontal permeability ranges from 1.3 x Io-7 cm/sec (centimeters per second) to 7 x 104 cm/sec.

The USGS measured the vertical permeability using thin-walled tube samples in the laboratory.

The vertical permeability data range from 2.5 x 10-8 to 1.2 x 10-7 cm/sec. The data suggest that some of the wells in which the permeability was tested encountered some of the more permeable fractures or hydraulic defects (referred to as secondary porosity by the USGS) because the measured permeability was much greater in the wells than in the laboratory samples.

FinalDesign Report Rev. 0 Page 3 of 11 Unweathered Lavery Till The unweathered Lavery Till extends to about 75 to 90 feet below the ground surface according to the USGS. Borings made by WVNSCO show the bottom of the till at 80 feet below the ground surface in boring 901 (El. 1310) and 65 feet in boring 902 (El. 1323) near the NDA.

The USGS measured the vertical permeability of thin-walled tube samples of the unweathered Lavery Till in the laboratory and reports the permeability of five samples ranging from 2.1 x 108 to 4.3 x 10- cm/sec. The USGS also measured the horizontal permeability using variable head tests in piezometers. The measurements range from 8 x 10-9to 1 x 10"7 cm/sec.

Lacustrine Sand Silt A deposit of lacustrine fine sand and silt, referred to as the Kent Recessional Sequence, lies below the Lavery Till. Some of the USGS wells and some of the WVNSCO wells extend into this deposit. The WVNSCO borings describe this soil as a silt with a trace of very fine sand. This deposit is deeper than the NDA trenches, deep holes and special holes. The USGS reports do not indicate that any permeability measurements were made in the Kent Recessional Sequence or on samples collected from this deposit. However, WVNSCO has measured the horizontal permeability in several wells and reports a permeability ranging from 7 x 10 - to 1.5 x 10 -3 cm/sec.

3.2 Groundwater Groundwater affecting the NDA and the interceptor trenches flows horizontally in the weathered Lavery till. The majority of the flow through the weathered Lavery Till occurs through fractures (hydraulic defects) in the deposit. The fractures are likely filled with silt, which is more permeable than the silty clay that makes up the till deposit.

The USGS measured groundwater levels, modeled the conditions around the disposal areas and reported the results of the model in Ref. 2. This report shows groundwater levels following the topography. Therefore, since the ground surface in the NDA is higher than the adjacent ground surface, water flows out of the NDA (i.e., a groundwater mound exists in the NDA).

Groundwater discharges into the Interceptor trenches on the north and east sides, but the potential exists for groundwater to flow from the NDA along the south and west sides.

WVNSCO has prepared quarterly groundwater potentiometric maps for water in the weathered Lavery till deposit (Ref. 3). These maps show a horizontal gradient such that groundwater flows from west to east in the vicinity of the NDA.

The 2006 Annual Report for the SDA (Ref. 4) also presents potentiometric maps for the weathered Lavery Till water bearing zone, These maps show groundwater flowing from the west towards the NDA. Water flow proceeds to the south once entering the parcel located directly south of the NDA, towards Frank's Creek. Groundwater also flows north, towards Erdman Brook beneath the NDA. These groundwater flow patterns are expected, based on the topography surrounding the NDA and the presence of the groundwater cutoff wall which was constructed along the west side of the SDA.

Final Design Report Rev. 0 Page 4 of 11 The USGS reports (Ref. 1 and 2) show a vertical downward gradient in the unweathered Lavery Till, indicating a potential for groundwater to seep downward towards the Kent Recessional Sequence, although at a slow rate due to the low permeability of the unweathered till. This latter flow does not directly affect the NDA interceptor trench. Figure 3 depicts a groundwater flow in the weathered Lavery Till near the NDA from southwest to northeast.

MMCE has used the ModFlow groundwater program to model groundwater flow patterns around the NDA and to model the flow conditions following construction of the cap and groundwater barrier wall.

3.3 Groundwater Model MMCE completed a groundwater flow model (using ModFlow) to evaluate the effect of constructing the barrier wall and geomembrane cover on the groundwater levels within and adjacent to the NDA. The model results provide an estimate of the flow of groundwater to the interceptor trench from upgradient of the NDA, and due to infiltration within the NDA. The results also provide an estimate of the long-term steady state groundwater levels and flow to the drain after construction of the NDA cap and barrier wall.

The following sections describe a previous groundwater model completed by the USGS in the vicinity of the NDA, calibration of the current model and estimates of future performance.

Previous Model The USGS (Reference 2) evaluated groundwater flow within the till in the vicinity of the facility disposal area (i.e., the NDA). The USGS used a two-dimensional finite element model to evaluate groundwater flow conditions for two vertical cross sections. The first is an west-east trending section extending from the railroad through the NDA to Frank's Creek. The second section is a south-north trending section from the NDA north to Erdman Brook.

To calibrate their model, the USGS varied the recharge and the till's hydraulic conductivity until the model results were in relative agreement with observed groundwater levels. The calibration provides an indication of the area recharge conditions, and the hydraulic conductivity of the weathered and unweathered till. The USGS model results indicate relatively low hydraulic conductivity for the till units and corresponding relatively low lateral groundwater flow through the weathered till zone.

Methodology and Calibration MMCE modeled groundwater conditions using ModFlow which was developed at theUniversity of Waterloo, and uses a finite difference technique to solve for unknown heads within the model domain. MMCE developed the site model considering existing geologic data, the site topography, drainage features and rainfall and recharge. Details of the modeling and a description for this program are in Appendix A.

The modeled area extends east from about midway between Rock Springs Road and the railroad embankment, north to Erdman Brook, and south and east to Frank's Creek, covering approximately 50 acres of land. The topography of the modeled area was input into ModFlow.

Final Design Report Rev. 0 Page 5 of 11 The weathered till zone was considered to be 16 feet thick and modeled with three layers of elements. The unweathered till at the bottom of the three layers was considered as an impermeable boundary.

Other features added to the model include the barrier wall west of the SDA and the interceptor trench along the north and east sides of the NDA. The SDA barrier wall was simulated by assigning a thickness of 2.5 feet and a hydraulic conductivity of Ix10-7 centimeters per second (cm/sec) along the alignment of the wall. The drain was simulated by assigning a conductance of approximately 25,000 ft2/sec and elevations corresponding to the invert along the alignment of the NDA interceptor trench The initial step in the modeling process was to calibrate the groundwater model so that model predictions agree with observations at the site. MMCE varied the soil hydraulic properties and infiltration until the model predicted groundwater contours and drain flow measurements similar to those that were observed.

The model calibration resulted in a hydraulic conductivity of Ux10s to 1x10"4 cm/sec and a recharge rate between 0.5 and 3 inches per year depending on location in the study area. This combination of parameters resulted in reasonable agreement between predicted and measured groundwater levels and flow in the interceptor trench . For this condition the flow in the interceptor trench was estimated to be 421,333 gallons per year.

The recharge rates used in the MODFLOW model are similar to the rates used in the USGS study. However, as indicated in Appendix A, the hydraulic conductivity of the weathered till zone is higher than that used in the USGS study. This could be due to the differences in the model configuration (3 dimensional compared with the USGS 2 dimensional model) or differences in the boundary conditions.

Results Once the model was calibrated, the effect of the barrier wall along the west and south sides was considered by assigning a thickness of 3 feet and a hydraulic conductivity of 1x10"7 cm/sec along the planned alignment for the NDA barrier wall. Additionally we modeled the geomembrane by reducing the recharge in the NDA area to zero.

The model predicts no change in the groundwater levels west or south of the NDA due to installation of the barrier wall. The groundwater flow in these areas is toward existing drainage features. The model predicts a long-term flow to the interceptor trench of approximately 58,000 gallons per year;, primarily from the area between the north side of the NDA and Erdman Brook.

4.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES The project objective is the reduction of risk to human health, safety and the environment. A reduction of groundwater flow into the interceptor trench is a benefit of the actions.

Construction of an upgradient groundwater barrier (refer to Figure 4) will divert groundwater infiltrating into the NDA or seepage out of the NDA if an outward gradient exists. Construction of

Final Design Report Rev. 0 Page 8 of 11 9 a low permeability cap on the NDA surface would reduce the amount of surface infiltration into the NDA and seeping into the interceptor trench.

A similar project was undertaken at the SDA facility several years ago.

5.0 DESIGN CRITERIA WVNSCO has issued design criteria for the groundwater barrier and the cap. Appendix 8 includes the WVNSCO "Summary Design Criteria."

The design storm for the NDA cap, as requested by WVNSCO, is the 25-year, 24-hour storm event using a 4.2-inch storm event. The post-construction surface discharge must not exceed the pre-construction storm water discharge rate. The storm water drainage design must control erosion and sediment during construction and following construction and must comply with the existing State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit. Excavation of the existing soils within the NDA must be avoided, final grades must be established by filling only.

The cap must be designed for wind uplift loads.

The groundwater barrier wall must have a permeability of I x 10-7 cm/sec or less with a design life of 10 years. The barrier must extend into the underlying unweathered Lavery Till deposit The geologic information along the barrier alignment must be identified with test borings before excavation for the barrier wall.

Design of the groundwater barrier requires an understanding of the geologic environment at the site and the site hydrogeology.

6.0 GROUNDWATER BARRIER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The groundwater cutoff wall design must consider the existing groundwater flow pattern, anticipated changes to groundwater flow and constructability issues. The intent of the groundwater cutoff wall is to reduce the lateral groundwater flow through the weathered Lavery Till deposit into the interceptor trenches and to limit infiltration into the NDA area.

6.1 Barrier Location and Dimensions Based on potentiometric groundwater maps and the topography surrounding the NDA, groundwater flow outside the influence of the NDA is expected to be towards Erdman Brook and Frank's Creek. Therefore, the cutoff wall should be located upgradient of the NDA, along the west and south sides of the NDA.

Permeability tests in boreholes or piezometers constructed in fractured media can provide misleading data because these tests consider that the groundwater flow is uniform. In fact, the groundwater in these deposits flows primarily through the fractures and secondarily through the soil mass. The resulting permeability calculation depends on the number of fractures that the borehole may have intersected. If the fractures are vertical, a wide range of permeability data can result that may not represent the actual subsurface conditions.

Final Design Report Rev. 0 Page 7 of 11 The USGS describes the unweathered Lavery Till as a massive soil deposit, without the fractures present in the weathered Lavery Till. Therefore, the groundwater cutoff wall should be keyed into the unweathered Lavery Till to cutoff flow in the weathered Lavery Till. We recommend a 5-foot key into the unweathered till to effectively cutoff groundwater flow along the barrier alignment for the following reasons:

1. Available test boring data show that the interface between the weathered Lavery Till and the unweathered Lavery Till is irregular and additional test borings planned along the barrier wall alignment will not likely identify all of these irregularities.
2. Construction imperfections often occur at the base of a soil-bentonite barrier wall and the key into the confining layer (unweathered Lavery Till) must contain the imperfections so that they do not affect the barrier wall performance.
3. The physical appearance of the weathered and unweathered Lavery till is similar and it is considered impractical to identify the interface between the two deposits by observing spoil from the barrier wall excavation. Groundwater barrier wall constructors often use this technique to identify the appropriate depth of the barrier wall in the field.

We recommend a cutoff wall at least 3 feet wide to limit the potential for future hydraulic fracturing of the groundwater barrier wall. The soil-bentonite backfill placed in the slurry trench will be soft and compressible and will likely have a high moisture content. Over time, the backfill will tend to consolidate under its own weight. As it consolidates, the backfill will settle and shear forces will develop between the soft soil-bentonite backfill and the hard adjacent ground. These shear forces effectively reduce the vertical stress applied to the backfill, preventing it from consolidating.

The groundwater levels along the barrier alignment are near the ground surface and therefore the hydrostatic stresses applied to the wall are comparatively high. This coupled with the potential for lower than geostatic stresses on the soil-bentonite backfill if the trench width is narrow, introduces the potential for hydraulic fracturing. This potential is reduced by building the wall wider. A 3-foot wide barrier wall is used in the industry when ground conditions similar to those at the NDA site are encountered.

6.2 Soil-Bentonite Backfill Soil-bentonite backfill in groundwater cutoff walls typically has a permeability of less than 1x10-7 cm/sec, which is lower than other types of cutoff walls constructed using the slurry technique such as cement-bentonite and concrete cutoff walls. Therefore, MMCE recommends a soil-bentonite wall for this application.

A soil-bentonite wall remains plastic throughout its life and deforms according to the stresses applied. It is crack resistant, except for the hydraulic fracturing susceptibility described above.

The soil borrow should be a well-graded soil with at least about 25 to 30 percent particles finer than a No. 200 sieve. Preferably, the fine soil fraction is either non-plastic or has a low plasticity.

WVNSCO has a borrow pile placed south of the NDA and this may be suitable for use in mixing the soil-bentonite. Alternatively, the subcontractor will need to import suitable borrow for the soil-bentonite mix.

Final Design Report Rev. 0 Page 8 of 11 6.3 Working Platform The groundwater monitoring wells along the west side of the NDA show groundwater levels within a few feet of the ground surface. Since the excavated trench derives its stability from the slurry level in the trench remaining several feet above the adjacent groundwater elevation, we recommend constructing a working platform along the cutoff wall alignment such that the platform surface is at least 5 feet above the adjacent groundwater elevation. This will result in a platform surface at about El. 1393. This platform will also serve to create a level surface for excavating the slurry trench.

The ground surface slopes down along the south side of the NDA and it appears that the groundwater level also decreases. Therefore, the surface of the working platform has been designed with a downward slope (to the east) to reduce the volume of the working platform and still maintain the required separation above the groundwater surface.

6.4 Additional Subsurface Explorations The base of the weathered Lavery Till deposit has not been defined with sufficient accuracy along the proposed cutoff wall alignment for construction. Therefore, we propose to drill test borings 40 feet apart along the alignment. These test borings will extend sufficiently into the unweathered till to be able to define the base of the weathered till. The drilling contractor will collect split spoon soil samples at 2-foot intervals and will staff the drill rig with an experienced geologist that is capable of identifying the base of the weathered till.

The data collected from these borings will define the base of the cutoff wall, 5 feet below the lowest measurement of the base of the weathered till. Existing test boring data from nearby borings suggest that the base of the weathered till is as tow as El. 1373. Therefore, the base of the wall has been preliminarily set at El. 1368.

The test boring data will be reviewed as they are developed. If the data suggest that the surface of the unweathered Lavery till is erratic, additional test borings may be needed to reliably estimate its surface.

6.5 Barrier Wall Monitoring MMCE recommends installing pairs of piezometers along the barrier wall such that one of each pair is located inside of the wall and the other is located outside of the wall. This will allow the gradient across the wall to be estimated and the effect of the wall on surrounding ground conditions to be measured over the design life of the barrier wall 6.6 Additional Considerations MMCE recommends mixing the soil and bentonite backfill on a concrete pad and transporting the mixed backfill to the trench. Unoccupied areas west and south of the NDA appear suitable for constructing this pad, storing the dry bentonite and for constructing the slurry mixing pond.

The soil-bentonite backfill mixing pad should be built within a temporary enclosure to limit the amount of airborne bentonite dust that will be generated when the dry bentonite is added to the borrow soil. This enclosure should be disassembled when the project has been completed. The pad will need sidewalls to contain the soil-bentonite as it is mixed.

FinalDesign Report Rev. 0 Page 9 of 11 The subcontractor can mix dry bentonite and water to form bentonite slurry in either a pond or a tank. The slurry is used to support the trench and is used in mixing the soil-bentonite backfill.

The pond allows the slurry to hydrate before the subcontractor uses it in the trench or in the backfill mix. The pond can be an earthen dike and the bentonite filter cake that forms on the inside creates a low-permeability seal for holding the slurry in the pond.

MMCE recommends building the pond for mixing the bentonite slurry next to the mixing pad.

The estimated volume of bentonite slurry is about 310,000 gallons, but will vary depending on the nature of the soil borrow used in the backfill mix.

Water for mixing the bentonite slurry is available from the utility room. The subcontractor will need to truck the water to the slurry pond area.

Existing well 908 will be removed and replaced west of the ground water barrier because the ground water barrier alignment will affect future data from it Existing well 908, which is next to well 901, will be protected from damage by the ground water barrier contractor.

7.0 CAP DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The purpose of the cap is to limit infiltration of precipitation into the NDA and to direct precipitation to existing storm water discharge locations.

The cap for the NDA consists of, from the existing grade to the final surface of subgrade, embankment fill soils, a geotextile and a geomembrane. The geomembrane will remain exposed. The concrete pad, pre-cast concrete retaining walls and other temporary structures (e.g., storage shed) protruding from the cap in the northeast portion of the NDA will be removed before constructing the final grades.

The NDA cap grading plan includes berms to contain the storm water and three detention basins to store the storm water so it may be released into existing storm water outfalls at controlled rates without exceeding the existing discharge rates for a 25-year, 24-hour storm.

Figure 5 shows the storm water flow.pattems and the basin locations. The proposed cap slopes at least 1.25 percent, except in the detention pond areas, where the slopes may be less.

Each of the three storm water basins has a 6-inch thick layer of compacted clay directly beneath the geomembrane (the cushion geotextile is not included in these areas). The purpose of the compacted clay layer is to provide a composite cap in areas where the final grades are flatter than the remainder of the cap. The composite cap helps reduce infiltration in the event that the geomembrane contains defects.

The NDA will be filled with suitable embankment materials to create the cap grades. These soils will be placed in controlled lifts and each will be compacted such that in-place density tests on the compacted soil lift meet required criteria.

Soft areas may exist on the existing cap subgrade and therefore heavy equipment will be kept off the cap until these soft areas are identified. The contractor will proof roll the existing NDA cap surface to identify any soft/unstable areas before beginning to construct the final cap

Final Design Report Rev. 0 Page 10 of 11 grades. Any soft areas will be covered with a geogrid and a layer of crushed stone to create a stable surface for placing and compacting the cap embankment materials.

A cushion geotextile will be placed over the entire NDA following construction of the final cap grades. The purpose of the geotextile is to protect the overlying geomembrane.

The final surface of the NDA cap will be an Ethylene Interpolymer Alloy geomembrane, XR-5, model 8130, manufactured by Seaman Corporation. This model is 30 mils thick. Seaman Corporation makes a 40 mil thick XR-5, but its mechanical properties are similar to the 30 mil thick model. Thus the thicker liner's resistance to puncture is not improved.

WVNSCO evaluated other materials during design development and favors this due to its low thermal expansion, high ultra-violet resistance and high puncture resistance. This material was used to cover part of the SDA and it has performed well.

Sand wedges encased in geomembrane will be welded to the geomembrane to resist uplift forces from the wind. The wedges are designed to resist an uplift pressure of 9 pounds per square foot, as requested, see Appendix B, "Summary Design Criteria."

8.0 EFFECT OF PROJECT ON THE SDA The design criteria include complementing the capped SDA storm water drainage and not compromising the SDA functions, see Appendix B.

8.1 Groundwater MMCE modeled the groundwater flow patterns using the ModFlow program, as described in Section 3.3 and calibrated it using available groundwater level measurements in the monitoring wells. The barrier wall and cap over the NDA were added to the model and MMCE compared groundwater contours of the existing condition with those predicted after construction of the barrier wall and cap. The groundwater contours south of the NDA remain unchanged after the barrier wall is in place. Therefore, the model predicts that the NDA barrier wall will not have a detrimental effect on the SDA and its barrier wall.

8.2 Storm Water Surface water drainage patterns shown on Figure 5 include drainage from the NDA cap and the SDA. The surface drainage from the NDA cap flows to three storm water basins located on the cap. The basins and discharge pipes from the basins are sized so that the surface water runoff from the 25-year, 24-hour storm does not exceed the discharge from this event for the existing conditions. The outlets of the basin discharge pipes are protected with rip rap as shown on the design plans.

Some of the surface water from the SDA flows through an 1B-inch diameter pipe at outfall W-06 (S-31) located near the southeast corner of the NDA and into a pond within the NDA. This outfall is monitored. The water in the pond discharges into a 24-inch diameter pipe and flows to its discharge point located near the northeast comer of the NDA.

Final Design Report Rev. 0 Page 11 of 11 As part of the NDA cap construction, the 18-inch diameter pipe at W-06 will be shortened and connected to a catch basin. The measuring device at the outfall of the 18-inch diameter pipe will be installed at the end of the shortened 18-inch diameter pipe Inside the catch basin. The water from W-06 will flow through a new 12-inch diameter pipe located along Basin # 2 and will discharge into the existing 24-inch diameter pipe.

Considering that the surface drainage of the cap is controlled to current levels and the drainage conditions outside the cap remain unchanged, the surface drainage from the NDA cap is not expected to compromise the SDA surface drainage conditions.

9.0 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS WVNSCO indicates that wetlands are located near the NDA. Construction of this project is not expected to affect these wetlands.

APPENDIX A GROUNDWATER MODEL McMahon & Mann ConsultingEngineers, P.C.

APPENDIX A FINAL DESIGN REPORT WEST VALLEY NUCLEAR SERVICES NDA CAP AND GROUND WATER BARRIER

APPENDIX A GROUNDWATER MODEL GROUNDWATER MODEL MMCE completed a groundwater flow model to evaluate the effect of constructing the barrier wall and geomembrane cover on the groundwater levels within and adjacent to the NDA. The model results provide an estimate of the flow of groundwater to the drain from upgradient of the NDA and from infiltration within the NDA. The results also provide an estimate of the long-term steady state groundwater levels and flow to the drain after construction of the NDA cap and barrier wall.

The following sections describe a previous groundwater model completed by the USGS in the vicinity of the NDA, the model calibration and predictions of performance subsequent to construction of the NDA cap and barrier wall.

A. Previous Model The USGS (Reference 2) evaluated groundwater flow within the till in the vicinity of the facility disposal area (i.e., the NDA). The USGS used a two dimensional finite element model to evaluate groundwater flow conditions for two vertical cross sections; an east-west trending section extending from the railroad through the NDA to Frank's Creek and a north-south trending section from the NDA north to Erdman Brook.

The USGS calibrated the model by varying the recharge and the till's hydraulic conductivity until the model results were in relative agreement with groundwater levels observed from monitoring wells. The calibration provides an indication of the area recharge conditions and the hydraulic conductivity of the weathered and unweathered till. The USGS calibration indicates relatively low hydraulic conductivity for the till units and corresponding relatively low lateral groundwater flow through the weathered till zone; about 80 cubic centimeters per day per cubic meter (cm3/day)/m 2 (0.72 gallons per year per square foot).

B. Methodology and Input-Groundwater conditions were modeled using ModFlow, which is a finite difference model for ground water flow developed at the University of Waterloo. ModFlow simulates heterogeneous flow in three dimensions. The program uses subroutines that permit examination of specific hydrologic features independently. The subroutine called Visual ModFlow was used to input the data and view the results. The model simulates flow associated with external stresses, such as wells, areal recharge, drains, and streams.

MMCE developed the model based on existing geologic data for the existing soils, topography, drainage and groundwater flow conditions.

P.O. 19-108939-C-CA Final Design Report Appendix A Rev. D Page A-2 of A- 4 Geometry The area modeled extends west from about midway between Rock Springs Road and the railroad embankment, north to Erdman Brook, and south and east to Frank's Creek.

The modeled area covers approximately 50 acres of land. The topography of the modeled area was input into ModFlow.

The weathered till zone was considered to be 16 feetthick within the model area. The weathered till was divided into three layers of elements. The unweathered till at the bottom of the three layers was considered as an impermeable boundary.

Other features added to the model include the barrier wall west of the SDA and the drain along the north and east sides of the NDA. The barrier wall was simulated by assigning a thickness of 2.5 feet and a hydraulic conductivity of lx10"7 centimeters per second (cm/sec) along the alignment of the wall. The drain was simulated by assigning a conductance of approximately 25,000 ft2/sec, and elevations corresponding to the invert along the alignment of the NDA drain.

Boundary Conditions MMCE assigned a constant head boundary at El. 1400 to the elements along the ground contour at El. 1400 between the railroad embankment and Rock Springs Road. This value corresponds approximately to the groundwater levels measured in this area during 2006.

A no flow boundary was assigned along the north, south and east ends of the modeled area corresponding the location of Erdman Brook and Frank's Creek.

C. Calibration The initial step in the modeling process was to calibrate the groundwater model so that model predictions agree with measurements at the site. MMCE varied the soil hydraulic properties and groundwater infiltration until the model predicted groundwater contours and drain flow measurements similar to those that were observed.

The hydraulic conductivity was varied between lx10 4 cm/sec and 1x10 5 cm/sec. The model calibration resulted in a hydraulic conductivity of 1x10"5 cm/sec for the weathered till and lx0 .4 cm/sec for the fill within. the NDA. Using a hydraulic conductivity of 1x10-6 cm/sec resulted in predicted groundwater levels approximately 20 feet or more above the ground surface.

The hydraulic conductivity for the weathered till zone is higher than that used in the USGS study, (5x10-7 cm/sec). This could be due to the differences in the model configuration (3 dimensional compared with the USGS 2 dimensional model) or differences in the boundary conditions.

P.O. 19-108939-C-CA FinalDesign Report Appendix A Rev. D Page A-3 of A- 4 We reviewed rainfall data for the site, flow observed from the NDA drain, and recharge values used in the USGS study in calibrating the groundwater flow model. The annual rainfall at the site since 1990 is summarized on the following table. Also on the table is a summary the flow collected in the NDA drain annually since 2002.

The recharge rates used in the ModFlow model calibration varied between 0.5 and 3 inches per year. These values are similar to the rates used in the USGS study and resulted in reasonable prediction of flow collected in the drain compared with measured values.

P.O. 19-108939-C-CA FinalDesign Report Appendix A Rev. D PageA-4 of A- 4 The flow in the drain for existing conditions was estimated to be 421,333 gallons per year, which compares well with the observations listed in the preceding table.

D. Results Once the model was calibrated, the effect of the barrier wall along the west and south sides was considered by assigning a thickness of 3 feet and a hydraulic conductivity of lx10 7 cm/sec along the planned alignment for the NDA barrier wall. Additionally we modeled the geomembrane by reducing the recharge in the NDA area to zero.

The model predicts no change in the groundwater levels west and south of the NDA due to installation of the barrier wall. The groundwater flow in these areas is toward existing drainage features. The model predicts a long-term flow to the drain of approximately 58,000 gallons per year primarily from the area between the north side of the NDA and Erdman Brook.

Appendix A Rev. 0 3.0 EMBANKMENT CONSTRUCTION 3.1 Background Soil fill (Embankment Material) will be placed and compacted in lifts on the surface of the NDA to build the cap grades, construct berms and groundwater barrier wall working platformshown on the contract drawings. Fill will be excavated from borrow stockpiles located on the West Valley Demonstration Project site and transported to the NDA cap. Fill for these structures may also be imported from a subcontractor's off-site borrow pit with WVNSCO and the Geotechnical Engineer's approval.

3.2 Pre-Construction Sampling and Testing 3.2.1 Field Explorations WVNSCO has collected soil samples from prospective borrow stockpiles located on the West Valley Demonstration Project site and has tested these samples to assist in evaluating the suitability of the fill for use in the NDA cap and ground water barrier wall construction. In addition to these soil samples, the Geotechnical Engineer may collect soil samples during construction to estimate the variability of the soil properties.

The Subcontractor may be required to import soil. from off-site borrow pit(s). In this case, the Subcontractor will be required to submit the results of soil tests completed on samples from these sources to estimate the suitability of soil from these sources for embankment and ground water barrier wall construction. During construction, the Geotechnical Engineer will collect samples from these off-site borrow sources and test them in the laboratory to confirm their properties and suitability for construction of the embankment and ground water barrier wall.

3.2.2 Laboratory Testing Samples collected during the exploration program will be delivered to the soils laboratory for testing. The approximate testing frequency for fill type used in embankment and berm construction follows:

Test Frequency Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D422) 1 per 2,500 cubic yards Moisture Content (ASTM D2216) 1 per 1,000 cubic yards Liquid and Plastic Limits (ASTM D4318) 1 per 2,500 cubic yards Moisture-Density Relationship of Soil (ASTM 1 per 2,500 cubic yards D1 557)

Testing is to be performed on single samples. Testing, in addition to the above frequency, is to be performed if changes are noted in the soils in the borrow area.

3.3 Subgrade Surface Evaluation 3.3.1 Field Testing For purposes of this QA/QC Plan, the subgrade surface is defined as that surface consisting of native soils that exist on the NDA. The surface of the NDA will be proof rolled, using a loaded 10-wheel or articulated dump truck. Alternatively, a smooth drum roller (Ingersoll Rand Pro-Pac SD100D or equivalent, as approved by the Geotechnical Engineer) may be used.

Proof rolling will be performed by driving the truck or smooth-drum roller slowly (about walking speed) over the subgrade surface. The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will walk behind/beside the truck, observing the response of the subgrade to the proof rolling. Soft conditions, i.e., areas that weave under 7 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 load or that rut more than about 2 inches, are considered areas requiring remediation. The remediation needed will depend on the cause of the subgrade instability, which could be an elevated water content or soft soils.

Remediation activities include allowing the unstable area to dry or placing a geosynthetic (geotextile or geogrid) over the soft area and covering it with a layer of coarse crushed gravel. The aerial extent of the remediation includes the entire soft area. Remediated areas must be retested. Areas that are allowed to dry must be proof rolled after the drying. If soft areas are still detected, additional drying is required or placement of a geosynthetic on the subgrade and covering it with a layer of coarse crushed gravel, as necessary, to result in a firm subgrade during proof rolling.

There are exceptions to the use of the proof rollingl It should not to be used in areas where it could cause damage to underground structures, in confined areas, etc. The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee must visually inspect the subgrade surface and give approval before overlying material is placed.

3.4 Fill 3.4.1 Field Testing and Sampling Suitable borrow from the WVDP site stockpiles or imported borrow will be used as fill to construct embankments and berms. All fill must be placed and compacted to a minimum dry density of 90 percent of the maximum dry density measured by the modified Proctor test. The moisture content is required to be within 3 percent (above or below) the optimum moisture content. Laboratory moisture-density tests will be performed before fill is placed so that, if there are different test results from different borrow areas, the appropriate value can be used for field control. A test pad will be constructed to evaluate the suitability of the Contractor's proposed equipment and methods of compaction.

The Subcontractor will be required to place fill within the specified moisture content range. It is expected that major changes to the moisture content-of the fill will be made atthe borrow area.

The Field Technician will measure the compacted fill moisture content and density, with the nuclear density gauge to estimate the suitability of the compacted fill. A nuclear density gauge probe depth of extending through the entire thickness of the lift being placed is recommended for testing the fill. In-place density tests locations will be measured relative to the site grid system.

The fill must be compacted so that all tests indicate the minimum density criteria and specified moisture content range are met for a lift to be considered acceptable. The lift must be considered acceptable, prior to placement of a subsequent lift. If the moisture content data suggest that the lift is too wet, the Subcontractor will be advised to either scarify the lift and allow it to dry or to remove the lift and replace it.

If the moisture content data indicate that the lift is too dry, the Subcontractor will be advised and may scarify the lift, moisten it and recompact it before retesting it. If the density test data are low, the Subcontractor will be advised so that additional compactive effort may be applied.

If corrective measures are required for a soil lift, the lift must be retested, following the corrective measures. Retests must be performed within approximately two feet of the original test location.

After the results of all in-place density and moisture content tests indicate the soil has been compacted in accordance with the project specifications, the surface of the lift must be scarified to enhance bonding with the subsequent lift. The lift surface will be scarified using equipment necessary to adequately scarify the lift surface, which may include bulldozer tracks or a pad-foot roller.

Soil samples will to be collected from the borrow areas for laboratory testing before construction of the embankment, as described previously. However, there may be instances where the soil imported to the construction area appears to differ from that previously used. In these instances, the Field Technician will 8 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 collect a sample of this soil type for subsequent laboratory analysis. In the meantime, the soil in question will not be used for construction.

3.4.2 Laboratory Testing On-site fill soils will be tested at the required frequency before construction, as described above.

However, there may be instances where a different soil type appears at the construction area. In these instances, the soil will be sampled and delivered to the laboratory for testing for liquid and plastic limits and gradation using a sieve analysis. These data will be compared to the data from samples collected and tested during the pre-construction phase. If the data suggest the new soil is substantially different from the other samples tested and if the sample satisfies specifications, a laboratory moisture-density test will be performed. The data will be forwarded to the Geotechnical Engineer for distribution to the Field Technician.

3.4.3 Fill Evaluation Areas of the fill where desiccation is observed will be scarified and recompacted to remove the desiccation cracks and meet the project requirements for density and moisture content, before the next lift is placed. At the completion of each shift and on weekends, the embankment and berm surfaces must be sloped to drain surface water. Additionally, the surface will be rolled with a smooth drum roller to enhance its ability to shed water.

Once the embankment hasreached the final rough grade, the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will observe the subgrade surface. All stones protruding more than % inch from the surface will be removed.

Any resulting voids will be backfilled, using fine grained soil and mounded (over-filled) so that there is adequate material in the void, following roller compaction.

Following completion of the fine grading, the subgrade surface will be visually inspected a final time, to observe that loose stones. or particles protruding more than 1/2 inch are removed. During this final inspection, any voids will be backfilled by hand and compacted with the smooth drum roller and will not require density testing.

The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee must visually inspect the subgrade surface and give approval before the overlying material is placed.

3.5 Reporting Field Technicians will report their observations and the results of testing and sampling to the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee . The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will assemble the individual reports and complete a field report for each day that construction occurs. The report will describe the Subcontractor's activities on that day, present the results of the field tests made that day and identify samples collected for laboratory analysis. The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will file the daily field reports.

4.0 CLAY LINER 4.1 Background A 6-inch thick compacted clay liner is part of the NDA cap. The clay liner underlies the geomembrane in the three storm water basins on the cap. The important features are as following:

6 A permeability less than or equal to 1x10 centimeters per second (cm/sec) for clay liners; 9 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0

" A maximum particle size of 1 inch; and

  • A maximum compacted lift thickness of 6 inches.

Material for the compacted clay liner will be mined from designated locations at the site or imported from an off-site borrow pit. This soil can be a well-graded glacial till, having gravel, sand, silt and clay-sized particles or a glacial lacustrine deposit.

4.2 Pre-Construction Sampling, Testing and Measurements This section describes the testing to be performed on samples collected from the borrow pit. The purpose of the pre-construction testing is to identify the soil type(s) and the variability of soil properties at the pit and to develop criteria for construction monitoring. The pre-construction testing program is expected to be performed in a phased approach, with certain areas of the borrow pit being explored and tested before others. Once samples from an area have been tested and found to be suitable, soil may be excavated from that area. Excavation from the borrow pit is to be limited to areas tested and found to be suitable.

4.2.1 Field Explorations The soil used for construction of the clay liner may be mined from various locations at the facility. The area(s) to be mined will be identified in plan view. A Test Pit Program will be developed to evaluate soil conditions in the proposed borrow area and for collecting the soil samples necessary for laboratory testing.

Soil samples will be collected at a rate of least one sample for every 250 cubic yards of clay liner material.

These samples will be obtained from the test pits, such that the overall sampling and testing frequency meets the requirements described below.

4.2.2 Laboratory Testing Samples collected in the exploration program will be delivered to the soils laboratory for testing. The approximate testing frequency for clay liner soils follows:

Test Frequency Moisture Content (ASTM D2216) 1 per 250 cubic yards Liquid and Plastic Limits (ASTM D4318) 1 per 250 cubic yards Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D422) 1 per 250 cubic yards Moisture-Density Relationship of Soil (ASTM 1 per 250 cubic yards D1557)

Remolded Permeability (ASTM D5084) Note 1 Note 1: The number of remolded permeability tests depends on the number required to develop the moisture-density-permeability relationship.

Upon receipt of the initial test data, the Geotechnical Engineer will develop the moisture-density-permeability relationship (i.e., the zone of acceptance for construction). The zone of acceptance is defined as the moisture content and dry density combinations that produce a soil permeability of lx10-cm/sec or less and acceptable strength and compressibility characteristics. The Field Technicians will use this information for acceptance of field dry density and moisture content measurements.

10 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 4.2.3 Test Pad Construction The Subcontractor is to construct a test pad, using the clay liner to:

1. Assess the capability of the proposed compaction equipment to achieve the required soil compaction results, destroy clay clods and knead the clay mass together;
2. Measure the loose lift thickness that results in a 6-inch thick compacted lift; and
3. Measure the loose lift thickness that can be compacted with the proposed equipment and number of passes required to achieve the specified soil density.

Soils must be placed on the test pad under the same conditions they will be placed in the NDA basins.

The Subcontractor must use both pad foot and smooth drum rollers for this project and both roller types will be needed for the test pad construction. If the equipment proposed by the Subcontractor is the same as equipment used to construct other test pads at the site, then the Geotechnical Engineer may waive the requirement that a test pad be constructed.

Test data from soil samples taken from the clay liner soil as described in Section 4.2.2, are to be available prior to construction of the test pad. The Geotechnical Engineer will evaluate the zone of acceptance and establish compaction criteria for the clay liner. The Subcontractor must place soil for the test pad within the specified range of moisture content.

The Geotechnical Engineer will select an area about 50 feet by 20 feet, within the NDA cap footprint for construction of the test pad. Four stakes will be placed at a 15-foot spacing, along the edge of the test pad area. Additionally, four control points within the initial lift, will be established and these locations are to be referenced with respect to the stakes. The elevation of the control points will be measured. These elevations can be referenced to an arbitrary benchmark.

The Subcontractor will place a lift of clay liner along one edge of the designated area, next to the grade stakes. The first lift should have a uniform loose thickness of approximately 8 inches and be at least 50 feet long and 12 feet wide.

After the clay liner is placed with the bulldozer, the locations of the four control points, referenced to the stakes placed along the edge of the test pad, will be reestablished. The Field Technician will measure the soil moisture content and dry density at the four control point locations, using the nuclear density gauge, to obtain the uncompacted dry density. The nuclear density gauge probe length must be less than the lift thickness, with the gauge operated in the direct transmission mode. If the measured moisture contents are outside the zone of acceptance, the soil must be conditioned by adding water or allowing the soil to dry, as appropriate, so that the moisture content falls within the zone of acceptance.

Elevations of the lift, at the four control point locations, will be measured. These data will be compared to the subgrade elevation measurements to calculate the loose lift thickness. The Subcontractor should make four passes (two forward and two in reverse) over the test pad with the proposed pad foot roller and two passes, with the smooth drum roller. The rollers should be operated at the operating speed that will be used during the majority of the compaction.

The QA/QC Surveyor will measure the elevation of each control point. These data will be compared to the subgrade elevation data to calculate the compacted lift thickness. Next, the Field Technician will measure the soil density and moisture content at the four control point locations, with the nuclear density gauge.

For density measurements, the nuclear moisture-density gauge probe should extend to near the bottom of the lift, but not through it. Following each test, the Field Technicians are to fill the hole left by the probe with bentonite powder or pellets and tamp that material in the hole.

11 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 The Geotechnical Engineer will compare the soil dry density and moisture content data to the proposed zone of acceptance data. If the required dry density has not been reached at all four test locations, the Subcontractor will make two additional passes with each type of compaction equipment (pad foot and smooth drum rollers).

Following the additional passes (making a total of ten), the Field Technician will measure the soil dry density, moisture content, and the ground surface elevation at the control points. Again, the Geotechnical Engineer will compare the in place density data to the proposed zone of acceptance. If all dry density data do not satisfy the minimum dry density criteria, the Subcontractor will make two additional passes, with each type of compaction equipment. The process of making four passes, measuring the soil dry density and moisture content and ground surface elevation should be continued until the dry density measurements, at all four control point locations, satisfy the minimum dry density (and moisture content) criteria.

Finally, the Field Technician(s) will retrieve at least four Shelby tube samples from the vicinity of the control points for subsequent laboratory tests. The Shelby tube samples will be delivered to the geotechnical testing laboratory for permeability testing and dry density and moisture content measurements, as described in Section 4.2.2. The geotechnical testing laboratory will report the test results to the Geotechnical Engineer.

The Geotechnical Engineer will review and analyze the field and laboratory test data to confirm that the results are consistent with the zone of acceptance. The Geotechnical Engineer will compare the initial and final lift thickness data. If the final lift thickness is thin, the process may be repeated with a thicker initial lift, the thickness of which will depend on the final lift thickness.

4.3 Tests During Construction 4.3.1 Optical Survey Measurements The QA/QC Surveyor will use optical survey measurements to determine the thickness of the liner, as described in Section 6.0.

The Subcontractor is required to control the loose lift thickness to no greater than that determined from the test pad construction. The Subcontractor can use grade stakes marked at the loose lift thickness or laser equipment, attached to the bulldozer blade. If grade stakes are used, the Subcontractor must completely remove each grade stake and fill holes left by the grade stakes, with bentonite, when the stakes are removed.

4.3.2 Field Testing and Observations a) In-Place Density Tests The Geotechnical Engineer will establish the "zone of acceptance" for in-place density test results. The "zone of acceptance" will be established based on the results of laboratory testing prior to construction.

The minimum percent compaction is 90% of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density.

The Field Technician will measure the in-place dry density and moisture content of the compacted clay liner using a nuclear moisture-density gauge in general accordance with ASTM D2922 and ASTM D3017.

The nuclear density gauge probe will extend to the full depth of the lift. In-place moisture density test results must satisfy the established moisture and density criteria before the lift is accepted. Holes in the clay liner resulting from the test probe shall be backfilled with bentonite which is tamped into the hole using a rod.

12 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 The Geotechnical Engineer or Field Technician will advise the Subcontractor of the test data. If the in-place moisture content is acceptable but the dry density is too low, the Subcontractor must make more 9

passes with the compactor until all in-place test results are satisfactory. If the in-place moisture content is too high to achieve the required compaction, the Subcontractor must scarify the clay and allow it to dry. If weather conditions are not favorable for drying, the Subcontractor may elect to remove the entire lift and replace it with drier soil. Scarifying, adding water and mixing, and recompaction must be done if the in-place moisture content is too low. This process is acceptable only for minor moisture content adjustments.

Major moisture content adjustments should be made at the borrow pit (or stockpile), before moving the soil to the working area.

The compacted clay liner must be retested for moisture content and dry density following any remediation efforts. Tests following remediation should be within approximately two feet of the original tests.

b) Observations Once all field in-place density tests indicate satisfactory results, the Field Technician will evaluate the condition of the lift to determine its acceptability, before the Subcontractor places the overlying lift. The lift will be checked for wet and dry zones. Saturated areas must be removed. Dried areas are to be checked for desiccation cracks. Lifts having desiccation cracks exceeding 1/2 inch in depth need to be remediated.

The Subcontractor will either remove the unacceptable zones in the lift or remediate the areas by scarifying and moisturizing. The remediated areas will be tested as though they are a new lift, in accordance with the testing procedures described above.

4.3.3 Winter Shutdown Prior to a winter shutdown, the clay liner must be sloped to drain surface water and rolled with a smooth drum roller to enhance its ability to shed water. Additionally, a sacrificial layer of fill (12 inches thick) is to be placed over the material. This lift is to be compacted to a firm condition, but not be tested.

.At the start of construction in the following spring, the sacrificial layer must be removed and the clay liner surface evaluated. In-place density tests will be performed on the surface. The test results will be compared to results of tests made prior to winter shutdown, to assess the effect of winter conditions on the material. If test data indicate the material has been affected, the Subcontractor will be instructed to remove the uppermost lift and the in-place density test routine described above is to be repeated. This evaluation process is to continue for each lift until the test data indicate that the winter effects no longer exist at that depth.

The clay liner will reworked and recompacted to the depth necessary, so that results of in-place density tests meet the project requirements.

4.4 Reporting Each Field Technician* is to report observations and the results of testing and sampling to the Geotechnical Engineer. The Geotechnical Engineer will assemble the individual reports and will complete a field report for each day that construction occurs. The report is to describe the Subcontractor's activities on that day and present the results of field tests made that day and a list of samples collected for laboratory analysis. Plan drawings that show the approximate locations of acceptable in-place moisture and density tests for the clay liner will be included in the report.

Appendix A Rev. 0 5.0 GROUND WATER BARRIER WALL 5.1 Background The ground water barrier wall will be a 3-foot wide soil-bentonite (SB) cutoff wall. The wall will extend from the surface of the working platform to 5 feet into the unweathered Lavery Till deposit, a height of about 25 feet. The barrier wall will have a maximum permeability of 1 x 10-7 centimeters per second. The approximate length of the barrier wall is 900 feet.

WVNSCO has two on-site stockpiles for use in the SB mix. WVNSCO has sampled these stockpiles and will provide laboratory test data from the samples. The Subcontractor will mine the soil from those stockpiles for the SB mix or provide soil from an off-site borrow pit. The subcontractor will purchase and store dry bentonite required for the slurry mix and the SB backfill.

The Subcontractor will be responsible for designing the SB backfill mix, the bentonite slurry, the mixing pad and enclosure for mixing the SB and the hydration/storage pond(s) for the slurry following this QA/QC plan and the technical specifications. The subcontractor is required to collect soil samples from the on-site stockpiles and off-site borrow pits for preparing the SB design mix.

The Geotechnical Engineer will maintain an on-site laboratory for completing all tests on the slurry and the SB backfill, except triaxial permeability tests, which will be performed in the off-site geotechnical laboratory.

5.2 Pre-Construction Sampling, Testing and Measurements This section describes the testing to be performed on soil samples collected from the borrow area(s). The purpose of the pre-construction testing is to identify the soil type(s) and the variability of soil properties in the borrow area(s) and to prepare a design mix for the soil-bentonite backfill mix.

5.2.1 Field Explorations The soil used for mixing the soil-bentonite backfill will be mined from various locations at the facility.

WVNSCO has collected some soil samples for preliminary screening of the on-site stockpiles. The Subcontractor must collect soil samples from the borrow pit it intends to use for the SB backfill mix.

The Subcontractor will develop a test pit program to evaluate soil conditions in the proposed borrow area(s) (both on-site and off-site) and for collecting the soil samples necessary for laboratory testing. Soil samples must be collected at a rate of least one sample for every 500 cubic yards of barrier wall).

5.2.2 Laboratory Testing The Subcontractor is required to laboratory test soil samples to evaluate the suitability of the planned borrow sources and measure the permeability of trial SB backfill mixes by varying the bentonite content.

Samples collected in the exploration program must be tested at the approximate testing frequency soils follows:

Test Frequency Moisture Content (ASTM D2216) 1 per 500 cubic yards Liquid and Plastic Limits (ASTM D4318) 1 per 500 cubic yards Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D422) 1 per 500 cubic yards 14 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 Upon receipt of the initial test data, the Subcontractor must evaluate the suitability of the borrow soil and notify WVNSCO if it is unsuitable for use as soil-bentonite backfill.

The Subcontractor's laboratory must prepare a design mix for the soil-bentonite backfill by varying the bentonite content and measuring the permeability of the trial mixes following ASTM D 5084. The permeability tests must be completed using effective confining pressures typical of those expected near the ground water surface of the constructed barrier wall.

5.2.3 SB Backfill Mix Design Report Once the design mix has been prepared, the Subcontractor must prepare and submit a report to WVNSCO and the Geotechnical Engineer. The design report shall include the results of the trial mix testing, the results of all permeability and gradation tests, used to prepare the design mix and the proposed SB design mix proportions. The report shall include the results of slump tests done on each of the trial mixes. This includes the amount of dry bentonite that will be added to the soil and the amount of bentonite that will be added via slurry.

The report must describe the methods that the Subcontractor proposes to use to control the mix proportions in the field.

5.3 Tests During Construction This section presents the tests that the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee must complete during the ground water barrier wall construction on the bentonite slurry, the SB backfill and the trench.

5.3.1 Initial Bentonite Slurry The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will sample the initial mix of bentonite slurry from the hydration pond following mixing, but before introducing it into the- trench. The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will repeat these tests each morning and following the mixing of each new batch of bentonite slurry.

Each slurry sample must be tested for the following properties:

a) Unit Weight b) Viscosity c) Filtrate, Loss d) Bentonite Content 5.3.2 Trench Bentonite Slurry The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will collect a sample of bentonite slurry from the bottom of the trench at the beginning of each shift and when the slurry in the trench has not been disturbed for more than 30 minutes. The following tests must be completed before beginning excavation or backfill operations for that shift.

a) Unit Weight b) Viscosity 15 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 The test results must comply with specifications before activities (excavating, backfilling, etc.) in the trench can begin. If the slurry doesn't comply with the specifications, the Subcontractor must propose methods (de-sanding, etc.) to make the slurry in compliance with specifications.

5.3.3 Soil-Bentonite Backfill The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will collect a sample of the mixed soil-bentonite backfill mix at a rate of one sample per 10 cubic yards and perform the following tests on each sample a) Slump (ASTM C143) b) Gradation (sieve only) (ASTM D422) c) Constant Head Permeability d) Triaxial Permeability Note: All tests except the triaxial permeability tests will be completed in the on-site soils laboratory. The triaxial permeability tests will be performed in the off-site Geotechnical Testing Laboratory.

5.3.4 Trench Measurements The Subcontractor must measure the working platform surface elevation and the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will use a sounding tool to measure the depth of the trench. The depth will be measured at 10-foot intervals along its alignment. The trench depth will be measured immediately following excavation and again in advance of the backfill placement to identify the accumulation of sediment on the trench bottom.

The trench will be sounded on the surface of the backfill at the end of each shift and the beginning of each shift, before any additional backfill is placed.

The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will notify the Subcontractor of any discrepancies in the sounding measurements so that the Subcontractor can take appropriate action, such as excavating in front of the backfill toe, sampling the backfill surface, etc.

5.4 Reporting Each Field and Laboratory Technician will report observations and the results of testing and sampling to the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee. The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will assemble the individual reports and will complete a field report for each day that construction occurs. The report will describe the Subcontractor's activities on that day and present the results of field tests made that day and a list of samples collected for laboratory analysis. The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will file the daily field reports.

6.0 OPTICAL SURVEY MEASUREMENTS 6.1 Background This section describes the survey measurements required for implementing the QA/QC Plan.

The Surveyor will develop a grid pattern, spaced at 50-foot intervals, to define elevation measurement locations. Measurements will also be made at changes in slope, such as the toe of containment berms.

16 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 6.2 Control The Surveyor will set horizontal and vertical control for the project using the existing control at the site.

The Subcontractor is to lay out subgrade below the geomembrane in the cap.

6.3 Cap Survey The Surveyor will establish the grid in the field and make elevation measurements at the grid locations.

The first set of elevations will be made on the subgrade surface.

The Surveyor will make another set of elevation measurements at the grid locations, following construction of the cap fill. These data are to be compared to the elevations measured before construction to determine the cap thickness..

6.4 Ground Water Barrier Wall The Surveyor will measure the location of the ground water barrier wall and will plot the location on a topographic survey of the NDA site.

6.5 Reporting The Surveyor will report observations to the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee.. The Surveyor will provide the final survey measurements to the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee for approval.

7.0 GEOMEMBRANE 7.1 Background Plans for the NDA cap show an exposed XR-5 geomembrane covering a geotextile, which overlies the compacted embankment material used to create the constructed cap grades.

The QAIQC Plan described below specifies the methods used to check the quality of the geomembrane delivered to the site relative to the design requirements and specifications, and the field seams used to join the geomembrane sheets. In what follows, procedures that encompass QA/QC throughout the project are described, including manufacturing, delivery, storage and installation of the geomembrane sheets.

7.2 Preconstruction Sampling, Testing and Documentation 7.2.1 Supplier Requirements The geomembrane supplier must provide a certification that the geomembrane manufactured for this project meets the material properties listed in the project specifications. Information and test results documenting that the geomembrane meets the specifications must be provided as described in the specification submittal requirements.

Manufactured Sheets. The supplier of the geomembrane must certify to the Geotechnical Engineer through the manufacturer's quality control documents that during manufacture, the geomembrane was continuously inspected for uniformity, damage, imperfections, holes, cracks, thin spots and foreign materials. Additionally, the geomembrane must have been inspected for defects. Documentation must be provided to demonstrate that all imperfections found were repaired and reinspected at the manufacturing facility.

17 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 The geomembrane supplier must also provide to the Geotechnical Engineer reports of tests taken to verify the integrity of the manufactured geomembrane. Results from the following tests must be submitted prior to installation of the geomembrane.

TEST SPECIFICATION Weight ASTM D 751 Thickness ASTM D 751 Tensile Properties ASTM D 751 Bonded Seam Strength ASTM D 751 Adhesion - Heat Seam ASTM D 751 The tensile properties for the geomembrane, as measured by ASTM D 751, must include tensile strength at yield, tensile strength at break, elongation at yield and elongation at break.

The supplier must sample and test the geomembrane material for the properties listed above, at a frequency of at least once for every 50,000 square feet of manufactured geomembrane, and at least once, after each change in source of raw materials. A quantity of material shall be taken from each roll sampled to satisfy the requirements for testing, as described in each of the above referenced testing standards.

Testing shall be performed, at the indicated frequencies, on material and rolls specifically designated for use on this project. Test results supplied for rolls, which are not to be used on this project, are not to be accepted. Furthermore, sampling intervals shall be distributed throughout the rolls, every 50,000 square feet.

Samples found not to meet the specifications shall result in the rejection of the applicable rolls. At the Geotechnical Engineer's discretion, additional testing of individual rolls may be performed to more closely identify the non-complying rolls.

The supplier must submit all documentation required by this section to the Geotechnical Engineer before the geomembrane may be delivered to the project.

7.2.2 Installer and Geotechnical Engineer Requirements Installer and Geotechnical Engineer requirements include, those for archive sampling and conformance testing and sampling.

Conformance Testing and Archive Sampling. The Geotechnical Engineer is to obtain conformance samples of the geomembrane panels produced for the project, at the minimum frequency of one sample per 100,000 square feet, and at least one sample per material lot. The samples are to be obtained either at the manufacturing plant, following production or after delivery of the panels to the site. If samples are obtained at the manufacturing plant, only samples on rolls actually delivered to the site are to be accepted, as meeting the above frequency requirement. Conformance samples are to be tested in accordance with the testing requirements listed below under Conformance Testing.

Archive Samples The geomembrane installer is to take a set of samples for possible future fingerprinting from each panel sampled. Samples for possible future fingerprinting are to consist of 4 sheets, having dimensions of approximately 8.5 inches by 11.0 inches. Sample sheets are to be removed from a length of geomembrane taken from the panel, with none taken closer than 12 inches from the edge of the panel.

18 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 Sample sheets are not to be cut from the inner or outer wraps of a geomembrane roll. WVNSCO is to archive the samples, for possible future fingerprinting, in a light-free environment maintained at room temperature. The Geotechnical Engineer is to observe the archive location.

Conformance Testing The Geotechnical Engineer or his field representative will obtain geomembrane conformance test samples for laboratory quality, assurance testing. The samples are to be at least 3 feet wide by the and must encompass at least one factory seam. Material is not to be taken from the inner or outer wraps of a roll. The machine direction must be clearly marked on each laboratory sample. The Geotechnical Engineer is to deliver the set of laboratory samples to the geosynthetics testing laboratory. The geosynthetics laboratory is to prepare and test each sample in conformance with the following standards:

TEST SPECIFICATION Weight ASTM D 751 Thickness ASTM D 751 Tensile Properties ASTM D 751 Bonded Seam Strength ASTM D 751 Adhesion - Heat Seam ASTM D 751 The geosynthetics testing laboratory will report the test results to the Geotechnical Engineer. If the laboratory samples do not meet specifications, two additional samples are to be collected for testing. The sample panel that failed initial testing is not to be included in the domain for resampling. An additional sample is only to be obtained from a panel having the same source of raw materials as the roll from which the sample not meeting the specifications was obtained. If additional laboratory testing indicates the specifications are not met, the Geotechnical Engineer is to instruct the installer to remove the geomembrane represented by the failed sample from the site. If the additional samples meet the specifications the panel the sample was collected from and panels between passing test results are deemed suitable for deployment. The panel with the failing results shall be removed from the site.

7.3 Construction Phase QAIQC Activities 7.3.1 Subgrade Surface Inspection The Geomembrane Installer is to observe the condition of the surface on which the geomembrane will be deployed for smoothness and protrusions before deploying the geotextile and geomembrane. The strength of the subgrade must be sufficient to support the equipment that will be used for deploying the geomembrane, without experiencing permanent deformations, such as ruts. The maximum rut depth prior to deployment of the geomembrane shall be 1 inch. When the surface is acceptable, the Geomembrane Installer must submit a written notice to the Geotechnical Engineer stating that the surface satisfies the installer's requirements. No geomembrane is to be deployed until the Geotechnical Engineer indicates the subgrade is acceptable.

7.3.2 Deployment of Geomembrane The geomembrane should remain dry until ready to be deployed. The material should not be deployed if the material temperatures are lower than 20 0 F, or in winds in excess of 20 miles per hour. The two geomembrane sheets to be joined must be properly positioned, such that sufficient overlap exists. No vehicles are to be allowed on the geomembrane during or after deployment. The geomembrane sheets are to be deployed on the cap to create a "shingle effect," i.e., the upslope sheet should overlap the downslope sheet. After the geomembrane has been deployed, the installer and the Field Technician shall 19 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 visually observe its condition for uniformity, damage, and imperfections that may include tears, punctures, etc. Any geomembrane containing imperfections shall be discarded at the discretion of the Field Technician.

7.3.3 Observations During Geomembrane Seaming The Field Technician is to record ambient conditions during seaming, including air temperature, clouds and wind velocity. The Field Technician is to measure the wind velocity at the location of the geomembrane with an anemometer. Field seaming is prohibited when the ambient air temperature is below 32. F, during precipitation or when the underlying embankment material is frozen. Also, the Field Technician is to measure and record the temperature of the geomembrane sheet within five minutes prior to seaming. Sheet temperatures for seaming shall be above 32 0 F.

7.3.4 Preparation of Seam Test Strips The Geomembrane Installer is to check the seaming performance by making test seams at:

1. each start of work, for each seaming crew,
2. after every five hours of continuous seaming,
3. every time seaming equipment is changed,
4. every time there is a change in equipment operator, and
5. when significant changes in ambient conditions or geomembrane temperature are observed.

Seaming crews may prepare test strips, two to three feet in length, from pieces of excess geomembrane.

Test seams are to be welded under the same conditions as are found within the construction area.

Equipment and materials for preparing test strips must be identical to those used subsequently to produce geomembrane seams. The seaming crew shall cut six random samples from the test strip, such that three may be tested in the peel mode, and three in the shear mode. The seaming crew is to perform peel and shear tests, and the Field Technician is to document that the testing was performed and the type of failure for each specimen tested. The Field Technician is to approve the test strip, only if all specimens tested for peel and shear strength fail by film tearing and meet the strength requirements presented in the project specifications. Seaming of the geomembrane is not to be permitted until the seaming crew produces a test strip that is accepted by the Field Technician.

7.3.5 Nondestructive Field Tests for Continuity The Geomembrane Installer and the Geotechnical Engineer are to visually check all geomembrane seams for uniformity of width, and surface continuity. The Geomembrane Installer must check all field seams for continuity, using nondestructive test methods. Field seams must observed, with a vacuum box, as described in ASTM D5641. Seams that are not accessible for vacuum testing are to be tested by spark testing, following the procedure described at the end of this Section.

Testing must be carried out, as the seaming work progresses, not at the completion of all field seaming.

All non-destructive testing must be witnessed by the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee . Any testing performed in the absence of the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee is to be repeated and witnessed by one of the above.

Extrusion seams, that are not accessible for vacuum testing, are to be tested by spark testing. The Installer will provide equipment for spark testing that meets the approval of the Geotechnical Engineer.

Necessary equipment includes copper.wire, a wand for inspecting the weld, a power source capable of supplying the necessary voltage to the wand and copper wire, an earth ground, and an alarm to indicate when a defective weld is encountered with the wand.

20 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee , will monitor nondestructive testing and record the location, date, test unit number, name of tester and results of all testing. Based on results from nondestructive testing, the Geotechnical Engineer or his designee will inform the Installer of necessary corrective actions. Seams that leak and are repaired must be retested.

The Installer must repair the defective seam areas with a geomembrane patch, which extends at least 6 inches beyond the unbonded area, on all sides.

7.3.6 Sampling of Geomembrane Seams and Destructive Testing Destructive test samples are to be marked and cut out at locations directed by the Geotechnical Engineer. Samples will be collected from the anchor trench area, which is outside of the limits of the NDA and will subsequently be covered. However other locations may be selected if in the opinion of the Geotechnical Engineer there is a suspicion of weld defects. A minimum of one sample per welder will be collected each day unless the welded is only completing minor patch work.

The Installer shall cut out four (4) foot long sections of fabricated seam, from each sample location marked on the geomembrane. The cutout section must be wide enough, such that there is sufficient sheet material on either side of the sampled seam for testing. The Installer is to identify each sample with a number and include the sample number and location on the panel layout drawing. The area, from which the geomembrane seam sample was taken, is to be patched, and then subjected to nondestructive testing, as described in Section 7.3.5.

The Installer shall divide the remaining seam sample into two parts. Each part must be at least two feet long. The Installer is to provide one part to WVNSCO and one to the Geotechnical Engineer. WVNSCO is to archive the sample for possible future testing. The archive shall be stored in a light free environment, maintained at room temperature. The Geotechnical Engineer shall observe the archive location.

The Geotechnical Engineer or his designee , is to deliver the remaining sample to the geosynthetics testing laboratory, for peel and shear testing, as described in ASTM D751. The geosynthetics testing laboratory is to report results of shear and peel testing to the Geotechnical Engineer, no more than 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after they receive the samples.

The Geotechnical Engineer shall determine acceptance of the seam based on the laboratory shear and peel test results for the sample of the geomembrane material according to the criteria in the specifications and includes the strength of the seam, percent elongation (shear test), or separation (peel test) and break pattern.

Seam strength testing shall be performed, as the seaming work progresses, not at the completion of all field seaming.

Remediation is required when the laboratory sample does not meet the criteria stated above. The Installer is to be required to: (1) patch the seam in each direction, between the failed sample location and the location of the next acceptable sample, or (2) collect an additional destructive test sample from each side of the failed sample location, to identify the limits of the defective seam. A patch would then be placed over the seam between the two passing seam locations. All patch seams are to undergo nondestructive testing, as described in Section 7.3.5.

7.4 Summary Table 7-1 is a summary of the testing required for the geomembrane cap. Details of other required observations and the sampling and testing protocols are described in the preceding discussion.

The required sampling frequency is also indicated in Table 8-1.

All documentation required of the Supplier must be provided to the Geotechnical Engineer prior to using the geotextile on site.

8.2.2 Geotechnical Engineer Requirements The Geotechnical Engineer will obtain conformance samples of the geotextile rolls produced for the project, at the minimum frequency of one sample per 100,000 square feet. The samples will be obtained either at the manufacturing plant, following production or after delivery of the rolls to the site. If samples are obtained at the manufacturing plant, only samples from rolls actually delivered to the site will be accepted as meeting the above frequency requirement. Samples are to be obtained by cutting at least a minimum 2-foot wide piece along. the entire roll width and marked with the roll number, product, manufacturer and machine direction. Testing will be performed for the properties listed in Table 8-1 under " Geotechnical Engineer Requirements." If a sample does not meet the specifications, samples from adjoining roll numbers will be collected and tested until the extent of material failing to meet the specification is determined. Any rolls from which samples failing to meet the project requirements were obtained will be rejected for use on the project.

The Geotechnical Engineer will observe the storage of geotextile rolls delivered to the site and the procedures used to shelter them from sunlight, storm water and construction traffic.

23 of 25

Appendix A Rev. 0 8.3 Construction Requirements All geotextiles must be protected from dirt and dust until they are installed. The Field Technician will observe the deployment of each geotextile roll and advise the Installer of any defects, punctures and tears so that repairs can be made. The Field Technician is to observe the overlaps and seams and check them against specifications. Defective overlaps and patches are to be called to the attention of the Installer, so that repairs can be made before covering. The maximum exposure time for geotextiles will be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations but is not to exceed 30 days unless results of testing indicate that the material meets the requirements of the specifications.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared to address construction activities related to the capping of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Licensed Disposal Area (NDA). The NDA is a component of the West Valley Demonstration Project, operated by the West Valley Nuclear Services Company (WVNSCO). This facility is located at 10282 Rock Springs Road in West Valley, Cattaraugus County, New York (see Figures 1 and 2). The approximate 7-acre cap over the existing NDA will be constructed to reduce infiltration of precipitation into this disposal unit. In addition, a groundwater barrier (groundwater barrier wall) along the south and west sides of the NDA will be installed to reduce groundwater migration through the NDA area.

The proposed capping area and groundwater barrier wall installation are shown on Figures 3 and 4, and on Sheet 2 of the Engineering Drawings prepared by McMahon & Mann Consulting Engineers, P.C.

(MMCE) and incorporated by reference.

A State Pollution Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit was issued for the West Valley Demonstration Project on July 27, 2006. The Special Conditions of the permit require that a Best Management Practices (BMP) Plan be developed, and identify 12 BMPs that are to be included in the plan. The BMP Plan (part of the site-wide SWPPP - Document ID # WVDP-206) was submitted to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) on August 11, 1994, and is incorporated into this SWPPP by reference. The BMPs identified in the SPDES permit are listed below.

BMPs Identified in the SPDES Permit

a. BMP Committee
b. Reporting of BMP Incidents
c. Risk Identification and Assessment
d. Employee Training
e. Inspections and Records
f. Preventative Maintenance
g. Good Housekeeping
h. Materials Compatibility
i. Security
j. Spill Prevention and Response
k. Erosion and Sediment Control I. Management of Runoff This SWPPP should be considered a supplement to the existing site-wide SWPPP (which includes the BMP Plan) already prepared for the facility. Discharges of stormwater from the NDA Capping Construction area will be covered by the existing SPDES Permit.

Page I of 8

SWPPP Rev. 0 2.0 OBJECTIVES The objectives of this SWPPP are to identify potential sources of pollution in stormwater runoff at the NDA capping and groundwater barrier wall construction site, and to develop practices to limit potential impacts from stormwater runoff. The NDA facility is an inactive disposal area that contains radioactive waste.

An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) for this site has been prepared previously as part of the site-wide SWPPP (see Section 5.11 of Document ID # WVDP-206), and a project specific ESCP (Attachment A) has been prepared to address the construction of the NDA cap and groundwater barrier wall. The ESCP includes a description of the stormwater controls that will be implemented during the various phases of construction which are presented on Figures 3 and 4.

A Water Quality and Water Quantity Control Plan related to this project is provided as Attachment B. A discussion of pre-development site conditions and a description of the proposed development at the facility are provided in the Water Quality and Water Quantity Control Plan. Attachment B includes the stormwater calculations that provide the basis for comparison of the pre and post-development conditions. The final conditions are depicted on Figure 5.

3.0 POLLUTION PREVENTION TEAM The stormwater pollution prevention team (which consists of the same individuals as the BMP Committee identified in the site-wide SWPPP) consists of a Team Coordinator (Coordinator), a Secondary Coordinator and members, who are responsible for developing, implementing, maintaining and revising this SWPPP. This team is responsible for identifying pollutant sources and risks, making decisions with respect to BMPs, directing implementation of BMPs, and evaluating the effectiveness of the Plan.

Current team members and areas of responsibility are identified in the BMP Plan. The list of team members will be updated as necessary due to changes in assignments.

The Coordinator has primary responsibility for implementing the plan. Specifictasks include maintaining inspection schedules, records and employee training as well as coordinating responses to spill emergencies. In addition, the Coordinator will be responsible for keeping the plan current as needed based on changes in design, construction, operation or maintenance at the facility that have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to stormwater. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, the following items:

" Relocation or alteration of material storage or handling areas;

  • Revision of BMPs;
  • Alteration of drainage patterns;

" Addition of structural control measures; and

  • Documentation of significant leaks or spill events.

The Coordinator is the point of contact for facility personnel and regulatory officials who wish to discuss the plan or obtain information concerning stormwater management. The Coordinator is to be familiar with all phases of the NDA Capping project so that potential sources of pollution are considered during implementation and periodic evaluations of the plan.

Team members are to conduct inspections, respond to spill events, maintain BMPs and direct employee training at regular intervals as well as new employee training. One training event should occur before commencement of construction activities for the NDA Cap and groundwater barrier wall, and should include key contractor personnel. Members are also to meet with the Coordinator at regular intervals and following spill events to evaluate and modify this SWPPP as needed. The site-wide SWPPP (wvdp-206)

Page 2 of 8

SWPPP Rev. 0 requires at least one self-assessment of the activities performed under this SWPPP. In the event that a team member needs to be replaced, the Coordinator is to appoint a replacement.

4.0 DESCRIPTION

OF POTENTIAL POLLUTANT SOURCES This section of the SWPPP discusses potential pollutant sources that may contribute pollutants to stormwater. An inventory of exposed materials is developed and, from those, a summary of potential pollutant sources is established.

4.1 Site Maps A map indicating current conditions at the site is provided as Figure 2. Areas where .significant materials are exposed to precipitation such as, fuel storage, soil stockpiles, excavation areas, and waste disposal units, are identified on Figures 3 and 4. Outfall locations are designated on the figures consistent with the designations identified in the SPDES permit. Figure 5 shows the post-construction site map, including surface water flow directions.

4.2 Inventory of Exposed Materials This section presents an inventory of various types of materials handled at the site that may potentially be exposed to precipitation. Potentially exposed materials and activities, which could become sources of pollutants at the NDA Capping site, include the following:

  • Exposed soils during NDA Cap construction, including soil stockpiles and soils being placed on the NDA to achieve required grades;
  • On-Site vehicle refueling of construction equipment;
  • Fuel deliveries to any temporary or permanent on-site storage tanks;
  • Solid waste generated during construction operations;
  • Soils tracked out on tires, fenders and other parts of vehicles leaving the construction site, and
  • Radiological waste in the NDA disposal area.

A list of the materials that may be exposed to precipitation that identifies their locations on-site, methods of on-site storage or disposal and material management practices that will be employed to minimize contact with stormwater runoff is provided in Attachment C.

4.3 Spills and Leaks Significant spills include, but are not limited to, releases of oil or hazardous substances in excess of reportable quantities under Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (see 40 CFR 110.10 and CFR 117.21) or Section 102 of CERCLA (40 CFR 302.4). Spills that could occur at the facility include releases of fuel from storage tanks during tank refilling or refueling of vehicles, or from leaking vehicle fuel tanks; and contaminated soils tracked outside the NDA site by construction equipment. Attachment D contains a copy of the "Policy and Procedures" document identified as WV-915, entitled "Spill/Release Notification and Reporting," which describes spill response procedures and reporting requirements.

SWPPP Rev. 0 4.4 Sampling Data Surface water from the NDA cap construction site discharges to Erdman Brook to the north. WVNSCO has an established monitoring program (based on SPDES Permit requirements) that involves collecting surface water samples at various stormwater discharge outfalls around the site. This monitoring program has been implemented since 1994, and will continue to be used to monitor the quality of stormwater leaving the site. Data from these monitoring events has been provided to NYSDEC in accordance with the requirements of the SPDES Permit and is maintained at the facility. More information. on stormwater monitoring is provided in Section 7.0.

4.5 Risk Identification and Assessment of Potential Sources Potential pollutant sources resulting from various activities expected to occur at the facility are described below.

4.5.1 Fuel Loading and Unloading Operations Delivery and transfer of diesel fuel and gasoline at the facility will occur during the NDA capping construction project. The potential for a spill exists during unloading of diesel fuel and gasoline from the tanker trucks to temporary or permanent above ground storage tanks (ASTs). Transfer of fuel from the ASTs to the construction vehicles and equipment can also result in spills.

In the event of a spill, the WVNSCO Construction Supervisor is to be notified and procedures in WV-915, "Spill/Release Notification and Reporting" (see Attachment D) will be implemented.

4.5.2 OutdoorStorage, Soil Stockpiles and ConstructionActivities Materials stored on-site that could impact stormwater include fuel stored in the portable truck-mounted fuel tanks, construction materials, staging of vehicles and stockpiled soil materials. A release from the truck mounted fuel tanks would result in potential stormwater impacts. All truck-mounted tanks will be provided with required monitoring and spill kits.

Construction materials other than soil such as geosynthetics, soil additives, and concrete structures, may be stored on site. These have limited potential to impact stormwater quality. Cement, fertilizer or other construction chemicals could, if exposed to precipitation, contribute pollutants to surface water.

Erosion of soil stockpiles could be a source of sediment in runoff. The primary approach to control of sediment transport at this facility is to conduct operations and construction activities in a manner that limits the size of stockpiles and disturbed areas. All stockpiles and disturbed areas will be surrounded by silt fence as shown on Figures 3 and 4. To limit erosion, stockpiles or portions of stockpiles that are inactive for 14 days are to be seeded to establish vegetation unless they will be re-disturbed within 21 days. Additional information on sediment control is provided in the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for this site which is part of the site-wide SWPPP (see Section 5.11 of Document ID # WVDP-206)

Oils and fluids which may leak from parked vehicles including construction material transport trucks and employee's cars, have the potential to impact stormwater, The oils that are contained in the vehicles include motor oil, lube oil, gear oil and hydraulic oil; and other fluids include hydraulic fluid, coolant/antifreeze, and transmission fluid. Potential leaks of fluids from parked vehicles will be identified during inspections as described in the BMP's (Attachment E) and spill kits will be utilized to contain and cleanup any spills of this nature.

Page4 of 8

SWPPP Rev. 0 4.5.3 Dust Dust may be generated as a result of vehicle traffic on access roads and on the capping area during dry periods. Dust also may form on the paved facility access road as a result of soil that drops off of vehicles leaving the facility. Dust will be controlled by the use of road cleaning equipment and application of water during dry periods (truck mounted spray system or equivalent) as described in the BMP's (Attachment E).

4.5.4 RadiologicalWaste in NDA Area The NDA area has been used in the past for the disposal radiological waste. During preparation of this area for capping, the potential for disturbing contaminated materials exists. To control the potential for transport of contaminated materials to areas where they could contaminate stormwater, no excavation of existing materials in NDA area will be permitted during construction.

5.0 MEASURES AND CONTROLS BMPs for stormwater management controls have been identified for the potential pollutant sources listed in Section 4.5. As discussed generally below, these BMPs include measures and controls to promote good housekeeping, preventative maintenance, security, spill prevention and response, training, sediment and erosion control, and management of runoff. Specific BMPs for the various operations identified in Section 4.5 are presented in Attachment E.

5.1 Good Housekeeping Good housekeeping involves maintaining areas that could contribute pollutants to stormwater in a clean, orderly manner. For the NDA capping project, this involves establishing routine and regular clean up procedures to include regular clean up of litter, sweeping the paved roads around the construction area, and establishing and maintaining well organized and contained work and supply storage areas.

5.2 Preventative Maintenance Preventative maintenance involves timely inspection and maintenance of stormwater management devices such as drainage swales, silt fences and check dams. In addition, facility equipment is to be maintained to limit the potential for conditions that could result in breakdowns leading to discharges of pollutants. A key element of Preventative Maintenance is the establishment of standardized inspection and record keeping procedures with documented follow up to ensure deficiencies are addressed.

Additional information on preventive maintenance procedures and documentation requirements is provided in the Preventive Maintenance section of the site-wide SWPPP (see Section 5.6 of Document ID

  1. WVDP-206).

5.3 Security Security measures are ,implemented at the site to limit the potential for accidental or intentional releases of materials to stormwater as a result of theft, vandalism, sabotage, or other improper use of the facility.

Access to the entire site is controlled by fences and gates. Gates are closed and locked when operations are not taking place at the facility. Signs are to be posted indicating that access to the construction area is restricted to specified hours. Security measures also include requiring all visitors to the site to check in to limit the potential that unauthorized persons or vehicles enter the construction area.

Page 5 of 8

SWPPP Rev. 0 5.4 Spill Prevention and Response Procedures WVNSCO will ensure that training is provided for staff and contractor personnel in handling materials such as contaminated soils, fuels and lubricants to limit the potential for spills. Areas where potential spills can occur and introduce pollutants to stormwater discharges are to be identified. These areas include the fuel storage containers and vehicle refueling at the facility. In addition,. tracking of contaminated soil outside the NDA area could impact stormwater.

In the event of a spill, the spill response procedures identified in WV-915, "Spill/Release Notification and Reporting," (Attachment D) are to be followed. WVNSCO is to take steps to contain and collect as much of the spilled material as possible. In the case of a liquid spill, absorbent booms may be used.

Containment may also involve constructing temporary soil berms to limit the spread of the released liquid.

After free liquids are collected, soil in the areas of the spill should be excavated to remove residual material.

Other spill prevention measures include providing regular training, and inspections of containers, valves and piping to identify early indications of leaks. More information on spill response is provided in the facility's Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. A copy of the SPCC Plan must be maintained on-site in the Contractor's trailer.

5.5 Employee Training Employees and contractor personnel will receive training on the goals and objectives of this SWPPP before commencement of construction activities. Topics covered generally include, but are not limited to, a review of potential sources of stormwater pollution, spill prevention and response, good housekeeping, and material management and handling practices with a focus on vehicle refueling and soils management. In addition, training on erosion and sediment control is to be incorporated in facility training programs. A list of those who have attended the training, and topics covered in the training session, is to be maintained at the facility and updated as additional training is performed (see Attachment F).

5.6 Recordkeeping and Internal Reporting The Team Coordinator is responsible for recordkeeping and reporting related to this SWPPP. The Coordinator is responsible to update the Spill List if necessary, and to maintain records of inspections and maintenance activities performed. Records of inspections that identify incidents affecting BMPs or where BMPs did not perform as intended are to be reported directly to the Team Coordinator. These records are to be considered in developing improvements to BMPs. Spills are to be reported in accordance with the requirements in Section 5.4 and using the procedures outlined in WV-915, "Spill/Release Notification and Reporting," (Attachment D). Records of employee training activities are also to be documented and maintained at the facility. In addition, the Coordinator will be responsible for documenting the Site Inspections (Section 6.0). The tables that have been prepared and included as appendices may be modified to facilitate recordkeeping and reporting.

The records generated under this SWPPP shall be retained for at least three years after completion of construction activities, or longer if required by WVNSCO. Monitoring results are to be retained for a minimum of 6 years from the date of sample collection or longer if required by WVNSCO.

5.7, Sediment and Erosion Control Erosion and sedimentation may occur from disturbed areas as a result of placement and grading of soil materials used to achieve desired grades for the NDA cap, and during construction of the groundwater barrier wall. An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) has been prepared for this project, and is included in Attachment A. The ESCP describes the measures to be implemented during construction and establishes guidelines to be followed to limit erosion and sedimentation. Furthermore, contractors and Page 6 of 8

SWPPP Rev. 0 subcontractors working on projects involving excavation, stripping, filling, soil stockpiling and grading at the facility must sign the Contractor Certification provided in Attachment G.

5.8 Management of Runoff Management of runoff from the NDA Cap was considered in the development of the Cap design.

Although the entire 7 acre cap will be impervious, the design has been developed so that runoff from the capped area will not increase peak stormwater discharge rates from the site. A more detailed discussion of the design is provided in Attachment B. Soil descriptions are also provided in Attachment B.

6.0 SITE ASSESSMENT AND INSPECTIONS An important component of this SWPPP is routine inspections of the facility. Regular visual inspections are the means to assure that all elements of this plan are in place and working properly. Areas to be inspected include, but are not limited to, areas surrounding temporary petroleum containers, material handling areas, vehicle storage areas, paved access roads for the presence of tracked soil, and the areas disturbed by construction of the NDA Cap, and groundwater barrier wall. Drainage swales, and erosion and sediment control devices are also to be inspected on a routine basis. Areas of deficiencies noted during inspections are to be promptly rectified. The inspections will include a Pre-Construction Inspection, Routine Inspections during construction, and a Post-Construction Inspection.

6.1 Pre-Construction Inspection The Pre-Construction Inspection will include observations to identify areas where pollutants may be introduced into stormwater. Existing BMPs are to be evaluated to determine whether they are adequate and appropriately implemented or whether additional measures are warranted. Structural stormwater management measuresand erosion and sediment control measures identified in this SWPPP and the ESCP (part of the BMP Plan) are to be observed to confirm that they are installed as intended. The Pre-Construction evaluation is to also include an inspection of equipment needed to implement this SWPPP such as spill response equipment.

6.2 Routine Inspections Routine inspections are to be performed not less frequently than weekly to ensure that the BMPs identified on the Plans are properly maintained and performing as intended. An Inspection Form is included in Attachment H. This form should be completed each time an inspection is performed. Records of inspections are to be maintained at the facility.

6.3 Post-Construction Inspection The Post-Construction Inspection will be performed to ensure that the disturbed construction areas have undergone final stabilization, and that all temporary erosion and sediment control measures (such as silt fencing) have been removed. The inspection should also ensure that the post construction controls are constructed as specified in the SWPPP. An Inspection Form is included in Attachment I, which is to be completed after completion of construction.

7.0 MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Stormwater flowing from the NDA capping construction area, is to be monitored in accordance with the SPDES Permit for the facility. The twenty stormwater outfalls at the West Valley Site have been divided into eight groups. Stormwater from the NDA capping construction area will pass Outfalls SO-17, SO- 20, Page 7 of 8

SWPPP Rev. 0 and SO-35. These outfalls are sampled in accordance with SPDES Permit requirements on a semi-annual basis. Samples will be analyzed for the parameters specified in the Permit.

The monitoring data are to be evaluatedin accordance with the SPDES Permit, and provided-to NYSDEC with the June and December Discharge Monitoring Reports. In the event that action levels are exceeded, the SPDES Permit requires additional monitoring and an evaluation as to the cause. Steps are to be taken to eliminate the source of impacts through appropriate operational changes and construction of additional measures to address the source of the elevated levels of contamination. In addition to providing the monitoring results to NYSDEC, the results are to be maintained with facility records.

1. Introduction This Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) describes the measures to be implemented during construction of the groundwater barrier and NDA cap, and establishes the guidelines to be followed to limit erosion and sedimentation. Erosion and sedimentation control measures should be implemented for activities where excavation, stripping, filling, soil processing and stockpiling, and grading take place.

Proposed erosion and, sediment controls to be implemented during construction of the groundwater.

barrier wall and NDA cap include silt fencing, perimeter diversion structures, stone check dams within drainage swales, outlet stabilization, seed and mulch, detention basins, and dust control. These controls limit the potential for erosion of exposed soils, and for sediment to be transported from the site with stormwater. Specific control measures are discussed below.

The Contractor is responsible for erosion and sediment control during construction. Figures 2 through 6 of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) show minimum requirements for erosion and sediment control and indicate that the Contractor is required to submit details showing how the erosion and sediment controls will be implemented.

Reference is also made to the "New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control" and the New .York State Department of Environmental Conservation Guidance document entitled "Reducing the Impacts of Stormwater Runoff from New Development" for additional discussion regarding erosion and sediment control practices.

2. Erosion Control Silt Fence will be installed generally parallel to the elevation contours, downgradient of stockpiles and areas to be disturbed, as shown on Figures 3 and 4. Silt fence serves to reduce runoff velocity. As the water passes through the material, the sediment is deposited upgradient. The silt fence geotextile is to be keyed a minimum of 6 inches into the ground to limit the potential for runoff to undermine the barrier.

Details of the silt fence installation are shown on Figure 6. In the northeast corner of the NDA, where the ground slope is steeper, the silt fence and reinforcing steel wire mesh will be backed up by hay bales, see Figures 4 and 6.

Perimeter Diversion Structures are to be constructed to divert stormwater runoff from the NDA areas away from the area of the groundwater barrier wall construction, as shown on Figure 3. The contractor is required to submit a plan and detail of the diversion. These temporary structures will be removed after the groundwater barrier wall construction is complete and the cap placement begins.

Stone Check Dams or other sediment control structures are.to be installed to limit the potential for erosion within swales by dissipating the energy generated as stormwater runoff flows through the swales.

As stormwater concentrates within the swale, the dams slow the velocity and therefore decrease its energy potential. Sediment being carried by stormwater is deposited as the energy (and velocity) decreases. These dams are typically not more than two feet high and extend across the entire width of Page 1 of 3

SWPPP Attachment A Rev. 0 the swale. The use of swales and check dams will be limited to discharge points from the groundwater barrier wall construction area, as shown on Figure 3.

Outlet Stabilization consists of riprap aprons to be installed at the outlet of discharge structures from the

-detention basiris tuilt-a *oi-thd 1er0rniefedr of t*-NDA-Cap-o disiptt -irg--pan-d-een-t scour.

Locations of the discharge structures from the detention basins and the associated riprap aprons are shown on Figure 5.

Seed and Mulch will be applied to establish vegetation in disturbed areas as soon as possible but no longer than 14 days after construction is completed and areas are final graded. Well-established vegetation is key to limiting erosion.

Permanent Detention basins will be constructed along the perimeter of the NDA Cap, as shown on Figure 5. The basins (and outlet structures) have been designed to limit post-construction peak stormwater flowrates from the cap area to less than pre-construction values.

Dust Control is to be achieved through watering of the site access roads as required.

3. Construction Sequence.

A general construction sequence schedule has been developed for construction of the groundwater barrier wall and NDA cap. The sequence incorporates the phased installation of the erosion prevention, sediment control, water quality, and water quantity measures, devices and features. In general, the steps outlined in the general sequence presented below are to be followed for each new phase of the project.

General.Construction/OperationalSequence

1. Identify the proposed limit of work. Maintain downgradient vegetative buffers to the degree practical.
2. Install silt fences downgradient of areas to be disturbed for excavation and construction of the groundwater barrier wall, grading and construction of the NDA cap, and related soil storage, processing, and stockpile areas, as shown on Figure 3. Silt fences should be installed parallel to the elevation contours.
3. Construct diversion structure at edge of NDA area as shown on Figure 3 to divert runoff away from areas to be disturbed during groundwater barrier wall construction. If earthen -diversion structures are constructed they shall be stabilized in accordance with the New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control.
4. Construct groundwater barrier wall.
5. Install additional silt fence or other barriers as required during grading and construction of the NDA cap to limit erosion and sediment transport.
6. Remove diversion structure in increments and commence grading and placement of the NDA cap, and construction of the permanent detention basins.
7. Fine grade and provide permanent seeding in those areas that are not covered by the impervious NDA cap.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Water Quality and Water Quantity Control Plan has been prepared to demonstrate that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (NYSDEC's) sizing criteria and pollutant removal goals are met with the design of the stormwater management practices proposed for the NDA Cap and Groundwater Barrier Interim Measure. The design of the NDA Cap and associated erosion and sediment control measures have been developed to meet the criteria identified in the "New York State Stormwater Design Manual."

2.0 SITE CONDITIONS As shown on Figures 1 and 2 of this SWPPP, the NDA is nearly rectangular in plan and is about 7 acres.

It is located near the south end of the West Valley Demonstration Project site. The West Valley Demonstration Project site is generally flat, but the ground surface rises to the west of the site. Several brooks and creeks flow across the site from west to east towards Frank's Creek and Buttermilk Creek located to the east.

As shown on SWPPP Figures 1 and 2, the NDA is bounded to the north by Erdman Brook, which generally flows from west to east and discharges into Frank's Creek. The State Disposal Area (SDA) is located immediately east of the NDA and a drainage swale separates the NDA from the SDA. Frank's Creek is located to the east of the SDA and generally flows from south to north. Both Frank's Creek and Erdman Brook are located in ravines with steep side slopes. Access roads and surface drainage culverts are located along the north, west and south sides of the NDA.

The NDA has buried wastes that were placed in pits. The NDA is currently covered with soil and vegetation. WVNSCO installed an interceptor trench as an interim measure along the north and east sides of the NDA to collect groundwater that was potentially seeping through the ground and discharging into Erdman Brook. The interceptor trenches consist of pipes buried in drainage stone and connected by manholes (see SWPPP Figure 2). The drainage pipes along the north side slope from west to east and discharge into manhole 4. The drainage pipes along the east side slope from south to north and also discharge into manhole 4. Manhole 4 is equipped with a pump that conveys the groundwater collected by the interceptor trench to Lagoon 2 if the water does not contain organic contaminants. If the water contains organic contaminants, it is pumped to the treatment building located in the northeast corner of the NDA. To date, no organic contaminants have been detected.

Page 1 of 3

SWPPP Attachment B Rev. 0 The proposed NDA Cap and Barrier Wall are shown on the Engineering Drawings prepared by McMahon

& Mann Consulting Engineers, P.C., under the cover sheet, "West Valley Nuclear Services NDA Cap and Groundwater Barrier, West Valley New York." The project consists of two components, a groundwater barrier wall along the west and south sides of the NDA and a cap over the NDA. The groundwater barrier is a low permeability soil bentonite wall designed to limit groundwater migration into the NDA and the geomembrane cover is designed to reduce infiltration intothe NDA.

3.0 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY The goal of the drainage design is to limit the post-development flowrates leaving the site to levels that are equal to or less than flowrates that were predicted for pre-development site conditions, and to maintain (or improve) existing water quality conditions. MMCE utilized the HydroCAD computer model (HydroCAD Software Solutions LLC) to estimate the pre- and post-development runoff from the NDA.

HydroCAD is a computer aided, design program for modeling the hydrology and hydraulics of stormwater runoff. The program is based on hydrologic methods developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service). The pre-development runoff estimate and post-development design runoff estimate have been computed for the 25 year, 24-hour storm.

Given the topography and limited area of impact associated with the NDA Capping project, the goal of maintaining or reducing peak stormwater discharge flowrates is, achieved primarily through the development of small detention ponds around the perimeter of the cap, which have been designed to detain the stormwater runoff from the capped area and release it slowly through discharge control structures. Using the design flows, culverts have been sized and entrance conditions and outlet protection have been specified as indicated on the Engineering Drawings. The goal of maintaining or improving stormwater quality will be achieved by eliminating the direct contact of precipitation with the surficial soils on the NDA cap area. These soils have the potential of being eroded and transported by stormwater runoff, which could degrade stormwater quality.

4.0 PRE-DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS Pre-development watershed delineations were developed based on existing topographic information for the site. The ground surface on the NDA has two mounds, which are higher than the elevation of the access roads along the north, west and south sides. Therefore, the potential for surface water is to flow off the surface of the NDA towards the access roads and drainage swale along the east side and Erdman Brook on the north.

Figure 2 of the SWPPP depicts the existing stormwater runoff flow directions. Runoff from the south side of the NDA flows through a series of culverts to the southeast corner of the NDA. From there, a 24 inch diameter drainage culvert drains the stormwater from the south side of the NDA and from a portion of the SDA toward the north, eventually passing SPDES Outfall S-20. Runoff from the west and north sides of the NDA flows through a series of ditches and culverts to Erdman Brook.

Page 2 of 3

SWPPPAttachment B Rev. 0 Soils at the site are classified as glacial till soils with relatively low hydraulic conductivity and poor drainage characteristics. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Map (see Attachment B-i) indicates that the surficial soils in the area of the NDA Capping project are Churchville Silt loam. This soil type is described as poorly drained soil high in silt and clay with low permeability.

A map of the pre-development conditions showing the drainage areas used in the evaluation is in Attachment B-I. The HydroCAD computer model results in Attachment B-I indicate that the calculated peak pre-development runoff flowrate from the NDA area from the 25-year 24-hour event is 24 cubic feet per second (cfs).

5.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Attachment B-2 shows the hydrologic conditions used for the post development analyses. The sketch in Attachment B-2 shows the subareas and basin configurations used for the analyses. As shown on the sketch, runoff is controlled by three stormwater basins constructed on the NDA Cap. The flow from the SDA area, south of the NDA, is routed via a new pipe into the existing 24 inch drainage culvert which also serves as the drain for Basin No. 2.

The routing calculations indicate that the perimeter ponds should safely pass the flow from the 25-year 24-hour event without overtopping the basin embankments. The discharge pipes from the basins dischargea to riprap- aprons designed to reduce. the energy of the water flow. Swales will then convey the flow to Erdman Brook. The calculated post-development runoff flowrate to Erdman Brook from the NDA area for the 25-year 24-hour event is 21 cubic feet per second (cfs). The calculated post-development discharge is therefore less than the pre-development flow, which means that erosive conditions in the natural channel downgradient of the site should not be increased by the proposed NDA Cap.

Drainage Area 06 and Outfall WNSTM06 Drainage Area 06 encompasses 0.56 acres located on the western side of the southern set of SDA trenches. Drainage Area 06 is grass covered with some gravel fill. Snow melt and storm water in Drainage Area 06 is conveyed to the north via sheet flow and a shallow channel which leads to a 12-inch CMP which is used to convey the storm water discharge from the area, under a site roadway, to Outfall WNSTM06 (see Photograph 2-18 and 2-19) in DOE Drainage Area 20.

Storm water is not detained prior to discharge to the outfall.

The outfall discharge pipe discharges storm water to a grassed channel into DOE Drainage Area SO-20 (see Photograph 2-20) where it combines with storm water discharges from DOE Outfall SO-IS (upstream). DOE Outfall SO-20 discharges to Erdman Brook.

During The Storm beginning of the storm and the end of During the Storm Event, the Rain Event Event(Inches) the previous rain event gallons per minute (gpm) 8111/95 135 minutes 0.54 inches 143.25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> 16 gpm 2200 gallons Part D, Item 7 for Outfall WNSTM06:

Part D, Items 1, 2,3, and 4 were obtained from the actual storm event data for a monitoring event at former storm water discharge Outfall S0-19.

Item no. 5, maximum flow rate was estimated as follows:

Maximum flow rate = (Total flow identified in Part D, Item No.. 6)I(Duration identified in Part D. Item No.2)

= (2200 gallons)/( 135 minutes)

= 16.30gallons per minute (gpm)

Rounded to two(2) significant figures = 16 gpm.

Item No.6 (i.e., total flow) was estimated as follows:

R = (C)(P)

P = Precipitation 0.54 in(1 ft/l2 in.) 0.045 ft.

R = Total rainfall excess, in ft.

C = Run-off coefficient estimated as follows:

- 0.90 for impervious area (concrete, pavement, etc.)

= 0.25 for impervious area (gravel, #3 stone and smaller, and unimproved areas)

Rainfall excess:

Impervious Area: R 1 (0.90)(0.045 ft) = 0.0405 ft Pervious Area: R = (0.25)(0.045 ft) = 0.01125 ft From Attachment 2-1 for Outfall WNSTMO6, Impervious Area 0.02 acres = 871.2 sq. ft.

Pervious Area = 0.56 acres - 0.02 acres = 0.54 acres --23522 sq. ft.

Total runoff flow (871.2 sq. ft)(0.0405 ft.) + (23522.4 sq. ft.)(0.01125 ft.) =35.28 cu. ft. + 264.63 cu. ft =299.91 cu. ft. = 2243.63 gallons.

Rounding is necessary to correspond to the limiting, two (2) significant figures identified for the run-off coefficients (I.e., C).

Therefore, Total flow = 2200 gallons.

Drainae Area 06 and Outfal! WNSTMO6 Drainage Area 06 encompasses 0.56 acres located on the western side of the southern set of SDA trenches. Drainage Area 06 is grass covered with some gravel fill. Snow melt and storm water in Drainage Area 06 is conveyed to the north via sheet flow and a shallow channel which leads to a 12-inch CM? which is used to convey the storm water discharge from the area, under a site roadway, to Outfall WNSTM06 (see Photograph 2-18 and 2-19) in DOE Drainage Area 20.

Storm water is not detained prior to discharge to the outfall.

The outfall discharge pipe discharges storm water to a grassed channel into DOE Drainage Area SO-20 (see Photograph 2-20) where it combines with storm water discharges from DOE Outfall SO-18 (upstream). DOE Outfall SO-20 discharges to Erdman Brook.

Part D, Items 1, 2, 3, and 4 were obtained from the actual storm event dato for a monitoring event at former storm water discharge Outfall SO-19.

Item no. 5, maximum flow rate was estimated as follows:

Maximum flow rate= (Total flow Identified in Part D, Item No. 6)l(Duratlon Identified in Part D. Item No.2)

(2200 gallons)/( 135 minutes)

= 16.30gallons per minute (gpm)

Rounded to two(2) significant figures = 16 gpm.

item No.6 (i.e., total flow) was estimated as follows:

R = (C)(P)

P = Precipitation 0.54 in(i ft/12 in.) 0.045 ft.

R = Total rainfall excess, in ft.

C = Run-off coefficient estimated as follows:

= 0.90 for impervious area (concrete, pavement. etc.)

= 0.25 for impervious area (gravel, #3 stone and smaller, and unimproved areas)

Rainfall excess:

Impervious Area: It - (0.90)(0.045 ft) = 0.0405 ft Pervious Area: R = (0.25)(0.045 ft) = 0.01125 ft From Attachment 2-1 for Outfall WNSTMO6, Impervious Area 0.02 acres = 871.2 sq. ft.

Pervious Area = 0.56 acres - 0.02 acres = 0.54 acres --23522 sq, ft.

Total runoff flow (871.2 sq. ft.)(0.0405 ft.) + (23522,4 sq. ft.)(0.01125 ft.) - 35.28 cu. ft. + 264.63 cu. ft 299.91 cu. ft. 2243.63 gallons.

Rounding is necessary to correspond to the limiting, two (2) significant figures Identified for the run-off coefficients (i.e., C).

Therefore, Total flow 2200 gallons.

P. 0. Box 459 Springville, New York 14141-0459 RE: Response to Comments on Anchor Trench and Sand Berm Anchor Calculations, West Valley NDA Slurry Wall and Cap, West Valley, New York Dear Mr. Keipper; McMahon & Mann Consulting Engineers, P.C. (MMCE) has received Approval Request (AR) comments from West Valley Nuclear Services, Co. (WVNSCO) regarding our calculations supporting the design of the anchor trenches and sand berm anchors for the NDA cap at the West Valley facility. This letter summarizes our responses to the comments. The original comments are included as italicized text followed by MMCE's response.

Comment No. 1 - Pleaseprovide a Factor of Safety (FS)for the ballastfill on the slope, provide basis MMCE has provided a stability analysis of the "Typical Anchor Trench Section for 3H: IV Slope" (as shown on Sheet 11 of 13 of Revision 3 of the West Valley Nuclear Services NDA Cap and Groundwater Barrier Drawings). This analysis is included on Sheet 5 of 5 of Revision B of the attached calculations.

Comment No. 2 - Please confirm that the 14% yield for berm anchors is acceptableyield for XR-5. Provide documentationfrom the geomembrane manufacturer.

Sheet 3 of 4 of the calculations show a 0.14 percent strain rather than a 14 percent strain.

Comment No. 3 - Review use of geotextile between geomembrane and trench anchor back fill on the slope. It may reduce coefficient offriction and allow sliding.

We concur with this comment and will remove the cushion geotextile that covers the geomembrane in the "Typical Anchor Trench Section for 3H: 1V Slope" (Sheet 11 of 13 of the drawings).

63 Zoar Valley Road P. 0. Box 550 Springville, NY 14141-0550 RE: Review of Borrow Source Sample Test Data, WVNSCO NDA Cap and Barrier Wall, West Valley, New York Dear Mr. Keipper; McMahon & Mann Consulting Engineers, P.C. (MMCE) has reviewed the results of tests completed on soil samples collected from two prospective borrow piles and considers one pile suitable for the groundwater barrier construction.

West* Valley Nuclear Service Company (WVNSCO) engaged Empire Geo Services, Inc.

(Empire) to collect six soil samples from each of two prospective borrow piles at the West Valley Demonstration Project site and test those samples for particle size distribution, moisture content, Atterberg limits and moisture-density relationship. Empire furnished the test data to MMCE to allow MMCE to estimate the suitability of these borrow piles for construction of the NDA groundwater barrier and cap.

MMCE has prepared technical specifications for this project. We have specified that the soil for the soil-bentonite backfill in the groundwater barrier wall must have 100 percent of the soil finer than a 3-inch sieve and must have at least 30 percent finer than a No. 200 sieve.

We specified that embankment material for construction of the final grades on the cap and the groundwater barrier working platform must have 100 percent finer than the I-inch sieve.

South Stockpile:

Empire collected six soil samples from the soil stockpile located south of the drum cell area and labeled these soils samples as 110S-1 through I1OS-6. The following table summarizes the test data.

Soil-Bentonite Backfill: The test data for the samples collected from the stockpile south of the drum cell meet the technical specifications for the soil-bentonite backfill. However, the moisture content data indicate that the soil is moist and is not friable. The soil should be dried before attempting to mix it with bentonite for the soil-bentonite backfill so that the fine grained soil fraction can be evenly mixed into the soil-bentonite backfill.

The soil samples do not meet the specification for embankment material because the fraction coarser than the 1-inch exceeds that allowed. However, the specification for embankment material could be adjusted to allow use of this soil except for the uppermost lift, the lift closest to the geomembrane. The specification could also be adjusted to allow it for construction of the groundwater barrier working platform.

North Stockpile:

Empire collected six soil samples from the stockpile located west of the NDA and labeled them as 11ON-1 through I ION-6. The following table summarizes that test data from those samples.

Butler Construction Co. of WNY, Inc. May 30, 2007 File: 07-011 Page 3 Discussion:

Four of the soil samples tested do not meet the specification for the soil-bentonite backfill in that the fraction passing the No. 200 sieve is less than the minimum specified. A fine-grained soil fraction as low as that measured in these four samples when mixed with bentonite would likely not meet the permeability requirements for the groundwater barrier.

Each of the six soil samples tested has a soil fraction greater than 1 inch, which is more than the specifications allow for embankment material. However, as stated for the south stockpile, the specifications could be adjusted to allow this soil for embankment material except for the lift closest to the geomembrane. The specifications could also be adjusted to allow this material for construction of the groundwater barrier working platform.

Sincerely yours, McMAHON & MANN CONSULTING ENGINEERS, P.C.

Dear Mr. Gupta:

ED ALBANY OFFICE Empire Geo-Services, Inc. (Empire) is pleased to submit the following soil PO Box 2199 sampling summary and attached geotechnical laboratory test results for the above Bofiston Spo. NY 2(120 referenced soil stockpiles. Empire was on site to observe and document the soil 5xKnabner Rlood sampling of the two soil stockpiles, completed by West Valley Nuclear Services MechanicvUIe. NY 12.118 Company, on May 9, 2007.

Phone: (5)8) 89-7491 (518) 899-7496 110 South Stockpile The first soil stockpile is identified as 110 South and is located near the Drum Cell. Six samples were collected from the 110 South stockpile at the approximate locations shown on the attached sketch. The samples were designated I IOS-I El CORTLAND OFFICE through 110S-6.

60 VIller Street Cortiand, NY 13045 Phone: (607) 758-7182 The soil in the 110 South stockpile consisted mainly of silty clay with varying Fax-.(607) 758-7188 amounts of sand and gravel. The upper 12 to 18 inches of soil at each sample location consisted mainly of gravel and sand. The top .of the sample interval ranged between 24 and 30 inches and the bottom of the sample interval ranged between 36 and 40 inches. Based on visual observations and the reported origin of the silty clay soils (rail spur), they appear to consist of Lavery till. The upper 1.0 to 1.5 feet of gravel and sand may have originated from the area of the El ROCHESTER OFFICE Remote Handled Waste Facility (RHWF) on the north plateau.

53& Su-mmit Polnr Drive Henmetic. NY 14467 Phone: (585) 359-2730 It is roughly estimated that the 110 South stockpile contains about 6,000 to 7,000 Fox: (585) 359-9668 cubic yards. A more accurate estimate could be obtained by surveying the pile.

Stockpile 110 North and 110 South May 30, 2007 WVNSCO Page 2 of 2 110 North Stockpile Six samples were collected from the 10 North stockpile at the approximate locations shown on the attached sketch. The samples were designated I ION-I through IION-6.

The soils in the 110 North stockpile consisted mainly of gravel, sand, and cobbles with varying amounts of silty clay and boulders. The top of the sample interval ranged between 24 and 30 inches and the bottom of the sample interval ranged between 36 and 40 inches. The granular nature of these soils is consistent with their reported origin from the north plateau, in the area of the RHWF. It is roughly estimated that the I10 North stockpile contains about 4,000 to 5,000 cubic yards. A more accurate estimate could be obtained by surveying the pile.

Geotechnical Laboratory Testing The collected soil samples were transported to SJB Services, Inc. (SJB's) geotechnical testing laboratory and tested. for: moisture content, particle size analysis, liquid and plastic limits, and organic content. In addition, two composite soil samples from each stockpile were tested for modified proctor. The laboratory data are attached.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan identifies and describes the tasks necessary to operate and maintain the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Licensed Disposal Area (NDA) within the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) site in West Valley, New York after the completion of the cap improvement and slurry installation interim measure is complete. Currently the operation and maintenance of the NDA is covered under the following existing WVDP procedures:

0 NDA Inspection and Maintenance - Under Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) SOP 40-04,

'.'Landfill Inspection and Maintenance Plan";

0 Groundwater Monitoring - Under WVDP-239, "Groundwater Monitoring Plan";

  • Leachate Monitoring - Under SOP 82-01, "Routine NDA Operations";

0 Storm Water Monitoring - Under the storm water monitoring provisions of the site SPDES Permit and as stated in WVDP-206 -"CWA/SPDES Storm WaterPollution Prevention Plan for the West Valley Project,'.' and WVDP-233, "Monitoring Plan for Storm water Discharges at the West Valley Demonstration Project";.

9 Environmental Radiological Monitoring - WVDP-098, "Environmental Monitoring Program Plan"; and

  • Training and Safety - Under WVDP-126, "Performance-Based Training Program Manual Preface," WVDP- 11, "Industrial Hygiene and. Safety Manual," and WVDP-0 10, "Radiological Controls Manual."

After approval of the Interim Measures Work Plan (IMWP) and upon completion of the Interim Measure (IM), these procedures will be revised to address changes in the operation and maintenance of the NDA resulting from the installation of the cap and slurry wall.

This document presents the changes to the respective operations and maintenance procedures and is organized as follows:

e Section 1 includes a brief summary of the objectives of this O&M Plan.

  • Section 2 presents the operations that include groundwater, leachate, storm water, and radioactivity monitoring for the NDA. It also includes inspection and integrity evaluation of the cap and associated structures, as well as ground surface/settlement monitoring.

Section.3 presents the potential maintenance needed that includes maintenance of the cap and associated structures, as well as the storm water controls.

. Section 4 includes the reporting requirements.

  • Section 5 includes the training and safety requirements.
  • Section 6 includes the schedule for the O&M.

This plan has been prepared to meet the overall O&M objectives of the NDA site. West Valley Nuclear Services Company (WVNSCO) has operated and maintained the NDA since the closure of the disposal unit in 1986. Therefore, many of the elements to maintain and monitor the site are

in place. Operation and maintenance activities are necessary to assure the interim measures meet performance standards. The primary objectives of the NDA O&M plan are to:

  • Inspect/maintain/repair the re-graded cap surface and associated structures to assure the effectiveness of the cap;
  • Clean/maintain/repair storm water control areas as needed;
  • Monitor and remove groundwater as needed from the interceptor trench;
  • Monitor groundwater in and around the NDA;
  • Monitor storm water associated with the NDA;
  • Identify and repair the cap and associated structures as needed; and
  • Acquire data that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the IM.

The overall O&M elements for the NDA that include the IM (cap and slurry wall) have been identified in this plan and will be included in existing revised site procedures upon completion of the implementation. of the IM. The revisions to the respective site procedures are presented in the following sections.

2.0 OPERATIONS The operation of the NDA upon completion of the IM will include:

" Groundwater monitoring;

" Leachate monitoring;

  • Storm water monitoring;
  • Radiological monitoring; 0 Integrity inspection of the cap and associated structures; and

" Ground surface monitoring (for subsidence and erosion) 2.1 Groundwater Monitoring Groundwater wells and piezometers near the NDA are currently routinely monitored for environmental and regulatory compliance under the Groundwater Monitoring Program (GMP). Groundwater wells are sampled and samples analyzed for both chemical and radiological parameters. Water and solvent levels are also routinely measured at groundwater wells, piezometers, and standpipes as part of the routine NDA operations and inspections. Table F-I lists the active NDA wells, piezometers, and standpipes, along with the corresponding analyses and frequency of sampling and analysis. The locations are

.shown on Figure F- 1.

2.2 Leachate Monitoring Leachate monitoring in the NDA is currently being performed at the locations and at the frequency listed in Table F-I (see Figure F-1 for the respective locations). These include wells, piezometers, standpipes, and NDA Interceptor Trench manholes. The monitoring is being performed in accordance with the site procedure EM-6, "Groundwater Sampling."

Water level and solvent measurements are collected in accordance with the procedures outline in Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 82-01, "Routine NDA operations."

Analytical samples are also routinely collected from the NDA trench as part of this SOP to ensure that potentially solvent-contaminated water captured by the interceptor trench is handled in a safe and timely manner while being transferred.

The only anticipated revision to these procedures will be to address access to the monitoring locations and special considerations due to the presence of the geomembrane cap and storm water structures.

2.3 Storm Water Monitoring and Analysis Storm water monitoring at the WVDP is currently conducted at 20 storm water outfalls in accordance with the site's SPDES permit. Two of the outfalls monitored, S-17 and S-20, are within the drainage area for the NDA. Outfall S-20 drains to the north from the drainage area located between the NDA and the SDA into Erdman Brook. Outfall S-17 also drains to the north from the road on the west side of the NDA, and eventually into Erdman Brook. However, after completion of the IM, storm water from the NDA will no longer go to S-17. All of the NDA storm water runoff will be directed to S-20. Storm water directly adjacent to the NDA (to the west) will, however, still be directed to S-17.

The WVDP is required to conduct semi-annual monitoring on the storm water outfalls: one storm event during the period January 1 through June 30 and another event from July 1 through December 31. The sampling is performed in accordance with WVDP-233, "Monitoring Plan for Storm Water Discharges at the West Valley Demonstration Project."

The following information must be collected during each storm event sampled:

1) Date of storm event;
2) Duration of storm event;
3) Total Rainfall during event;
4) Number of hours between the storm event sampled and the end of the previously measurable (>0.1 inches rainfall) storm event;
5) Total flow from the rain event; max flow rate during the storm event; and
6) A description of the method of flow measurement.

S-20 is sampled twice per year and S-17 is sampled every third semi-annual monitoring period. S-17 outfall is in a storm water group of 3 outfalls, whereby one outfall from each group is sampled during each semi-annual period. S-17 was last sampled on June 19, 2006, and is scheduled to be sampled again in the fall of 2007. Please see Figure F- I for the

WL water level TOC Total Organic Carbon After completion of the IM for the NDA, the monitoring of these existing locations will continue unchanged. However, as part of the IM, in order to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the slurry wall, 21 new piezometers will be installed adjacent to the slurry wall in locations as shown on Figure F-1. Twelve of these piezometers will be outside of the wall (outside of the NDA), and nine will be inside the wall (between the NDA and the wall). Groundwater levels will be monitored in these piezometers to determine if the groundwater inside the wall (in the NDA) is decreasing, and thereby creating an inward gradient. These new piezometers will be included as part of the GMP.

Groundwater sampling and water level measurements at GMP wells will be sampled and analyzed in accordance with the procedures outlined in WVDP-239, "Groundwater Monitoring Plan." WVDP-239 will be revised to include the new piezometers and procedures that address access to the monitoring locations and account for the presence of the new geomembrane cap and storm water structures. Access will be via established walkways, and monitoring activities will include precautions so as not to damage or impact the cap.

Settleable Solids 2.4 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Direct radiation measurements at the WVDP are obtained using an array of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) affixed to cards deployed at locations on and around the site. On site, TLDs are deployed near operational or storage facilities that have the potential to produce measurable external radiation. One such TLD location is DNTLD36, just south of the NDA as shown on Figure F-l, in the area referred to as the NDA Hardstand. This TLD is read on a quarterly basis and is included in the site environmental monitoring program under EM-098, "Environmental Monitoring Program Plan."

Since the NDA IM will further isolate the sources of radiation in the NDA, it is assumed that the resultant impact on the radiation levels in the area will be none, or possibly a

reduction in these levels. Therefore, there are no plans to modify the existing direct radiological monitoring program due to the implementation of the NDA IM.

2.5 Regular Integrity Inspection and Evaluation of the Geomembrane Cap A new geomembrane cap will be installed as part of the NDA IM and consists of soils and exposed synthetic materials. Currently there are no NDA procedures that include inspection and maintenance of an exposed geomembrane cap. Monitoring of the NDA grounds, including inspections of the interceptor trench manholes and Trench 11 standpipes will continue to be performed in accordance with procedures outlined in SOP 40-04, "Landfill Inspection and Maintenance Plan."

SOP 40-04 will be revised to include procedures for inspecting the geomembrane cap.

Anticipated checklist items to add to SOP 40-04, Appendix B, "NDA Inspection Data Sheet," include observation of the exposed cap for damage, holes, cracking, splitting of seams, deterioration, exposed geotextiles and underlining soils, areas of uplift or wrinkles, and undercutting or release of cap anchor. Also included will be requirements for integrity testing as described below.

2.5.1 Cap Integrity Testing In addition to routine visual inspections, the cap material will be tested for integrity. Integrity testing will include testing for tensile strength and puncture resistance; field seam integrity testing in critical areas; and a microscopic evaluation to evaluate the impact of aging. All but the field seam integrity testing will be performed every five years. The field seam testing will be performed every two years.

2.5.1.1 Tensile Strength Tensile strength will use on-site archived samples of the geosynthetic materials, or samples from an exposed portion of the geothentic material not part of the cap (i.e., a portion that is exposed and outside the limits of the anchor trench), to test for strength and elongation. Tension strength and elongation data are material properties and specifications used in engineering design. The limit on service life will be determined by those parameters that have reduced by 50% of the design property. Enough samples to conduct integrity testing for 30 years will be appropriately accounted for.

2.5.1.2 Puncture Resistance Puncture resistance of the geomembrane will be tested in accordance with the test procedure FTMS 101C (Method 2065). As with the tensile strength testing, the limit on the service life will be determined when 50% of the W

initial design property of the material is reached. This is a simple test that tests a specimen for resistance (in pounds) to puncture.

2.5.1.3 Microscopic Evaluation Microscopic evaluations test for signs of oxidation of membrane stabilizers in the ethylene interpolymer alloy that provides water-tightness while protecting the polyester fiber from ageing due to the exposure to harsh environments. The microscopic evaluation provides an indication of degradation and long-term stability of the EIA before weakening and failure of the polyester. As long as the composite material remains watertight and the polyester is protected by the ethylene interpolymer alloy, the cover should continue to function properly.

The test for microscopic evaluation will be consistent with ASTM D 5596.

However, it may be modified for use with the XR-5 on the appropriate recommendations by the testing laboratory.

2.5.2 Field Seam Integrity Testing The cap will function as a barrier to storm water infiltration, and except in the storm water detention areas, will shed the water quickly resulting in a minimal head of water on the cap for limited time periods (e.g., only during storm events).

Therefore, small holes or defects that may develop over time in the cap area (outside of the detention areas) would result in an insignificant amount of water infiltration into the underlying soil cover. A hole that would result in a significant leak would be large enough tobe visible during the planned inspections, and would be repaired. However, since there will be a head over the cap for a longer period of time in the storm water detention areas, small holes in these areas have more of a potential to result in water infiltration that could be of concern. In addition, the highest potential for developing holes in the geomembrane material is along panel*

field seams. Therefore, as part of the operation and maintenance of the cap, testing of field seams in the storm water detention areas will be performed.

The testing of the field seams in the storm water detention areas will be done once every 2 years by the air lance testing method (included as part of ASTM D4437).

An air lance test method is a field test that directs a nozzle of compressed air at the seam overlap. Any defects will show as an inflated channel through the seam.

Defects are then marked and repaired. The test will be performed by a qualified and experienced subcontractor.

2.5.3 Ground Surface Monitoring Ground surface monitoring of the NDA is currently being performed over the general NDA site on a quarterly basis. The monitoring performed in accordance with SOP 40-04 is for a vegetated cap and includes a visual inspection for

depressions, settlement, ponding, cracks, leaching, bare areas, burrowing animals, exposed materials, grades, erosion, signs and fencing, storm water transport, and creek integrity.

The existing cap will be reinforced as part of the NDA IM with additional soil to promote cover thickness and drainage and ultimately topped with a geosynthetic material. The visual inspections covered under SOP 40-04 still apply for inspection of the NDA site, but will include those additional items as mentioned above for the exposed geosynthetic material. Anticipated revisions to SOP 40-04 will address new survey locations and include special considerations due to the presence of the geomembrane cap.

In addition to a visual inspection for settlement, the cap will be monitored by survey of settlement markers and benchmarks. The survey for settlement and integrity of grade assures that the cap and cap materials are functioning properly and are not being exposed to extreme stresses. Locations of significant settlement that have compromised the integrity of the cap will be repaired and maintained according to the following maintenance section.

3.0 MAINTENANCE Maintenance of the NDA site has been established according to SOP 40-04. Currently, routine maintenance includes upkeep of the existing soil and vegetated cover and storm water controls.

Installation of a geosynthetic cap will discontinue the need for maintenance procedures involving a vegetated cap. SOP 40-04 will be revised to consider the installation of the exposed geomembrane and current maintenance items, such as grading, topsoil placement, seeding, and fertilizing, will remain explicitly to handle soil and vegetated areas outside the geomembrane limits.

3.1 Geomembrane Cap In order to maintain the integrity of the geomembrane, care must be taken to limit the traffic and loads on the geosynthetic material and remove objects and debris that may cause damage. Special consideration should be made for areas where soil acts as the anchoring system for the geosynthetic cap. Routine maintenance to assure anchor stability would include items currently listed in the SOP 40-04 (i.e., compaction of soils, grading, and seeding of eroded areas, etc.).

In locations where the geomembrane has been penetrated or compromised, a patch will be cut from like materials and seamed over the damaged area. Repairs will be performed in accordance with the geosynthetic manufacturer's procedure and specification. Non-destructive testing of the repair area will be done as specified in the record construction specifications.

The following tasks must be performed for proper repair of the geosynthetic cap:

  • Remove damaged geomembrane;
  • Remove damaged cushion geotextile and inspect underlying subgrade (remove objectionable materials, if necessary);

0 Backfill, grade, and compact subgrade to form a uniform surface for placement of new geosynthetics; 0 Clean and dry geosynthetic surfaces in areas of weld or seam;

  • Place and seam cushion geotextile according to manufactures specification;
  • Place and weld geomembrane according to manufactures specification;
  • Perform required quality assurance/quality control testing, in accordance with the record construction specifications, to provide certification that the cover has been repaired adequately; and Perform other tasks that may be required based on geosynthetic manufacture's specifications 3.2 Storm Water Control Structures Storm water controls are routinely monitored and maintained as part of SOP 40-04.

Currently damaged pipe and eroded areas are replaced or repaired and drainage ditches are cleaned and maintained as vegetated lined ditches. This will also include new drain pipes and culverts installed as part of this IM.

New drainage basins and storm water control swales will be constructed and lined as part of the new cap system with geosynthetic materials. Similar maintenance procedures apply (i.e., remove debris and repair damaged pipe and eroded areas), but SOP 40-04 will be revised to include inspection and repairs of geosynthetic materials as required.

3.3 Liquid Pretreatment System Access Road The existing access road to the Liquid Pretreatment System (LPS) is an improved road..

The road and existing facilities are visually inspected under SOP 40-04 for integrity and overall condition. The roadway will continue to be inspected and maintained according to SOP 40-04.

4.0 REPORTING AND DOCUMENTATION The reporting and documentation for the O&M of the NDA will be as contained in the following procedures.

Specific training for work in radiological areas is covered in WVDP-290, "WVDP Radiation Training Program Manual," and WVDP-010, "Radiological Controls Manual," and requires radiation worker training. Work in hazardous areas and with hazardous materials is controlled through the implementation of WVDP-11, "Industrial Hygiene and Safety Manual," and will require OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER training.

All personnel working at the site require a general employee training to provide them with a general overview of the health, safety, and emergency procedures at the site. However work specific to the NDA will require training on potential radiological and chemical contamination hazards. Personnel performing work within the NDA will have OSHA 40-hour HAZWOPER and radiological worker training. The work will also be planned and controlled through the use of radiation and industrial work permits. Each work task will have its own Industrial Work Permit that identifies the potential hazards and appropriate measures taken to mitigate the hazards. If the work is in the controlled NDA radiological area, then a Radiation Work Permit will be used to identify the radiological hazards and respective controls and mitigative measures.

Since the operation and maintenance work for the NDA falls within work that can be covered under the existing training and safety controls and procedures for the site, no modification of the respective procedures is anticipated.

This includes shutdown of all electrical, hydraulic, air, steam or other energy or pressurized sources that would cause the equipment to operate.

Basic rules for the procedure are as follow:

25.1 The prime responsibility for immobilizing a piece of equipment rests with the equipment owners or operators. They are the only individuals with sufficient knowledge of that equipment to render it completely inoperable. Their shutdown procedure may include bleeding pressure from air or hydraulic sources or shutting off multiple electrical sources. After proper shutdown, they are responsible for placing the first lock and tag on all panels, switches or operating stations.

25.2 Many manufacturing or industrial plants have their own specific written lock-out/tag-out procedures which should be followed.

Page 15 of 25

Subcontractor SAFETY, HEALTH and ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROGRAM MANUAL (May 2007) 25.3. We should never attempt to shutdown or lock-out industrial equipment, conveyor systems, or.

equipment that is owned and operated by others, except in the case of an emergency.

25.4. After the equipment owner or operator has provided the equipment in a completely shutdown mode, we should put our lock and tag on the same. equipment to prevent inadvertent starting during our operations. Therefore, the minimum number of locks and tags on any equipment that we do not own is 2 (the owner's lock and our lock).

. 25.5 Other trades working on or near the equipment may also be asked to, or they may request to, place their lock and tag on the same equipment. It is important to remember that a machine or piece of

  • equipment may have several power panels or operating stations that must all be locked out to ensure that it is completely inoperable.

25.6 Tags that are placed on the equipment with the locks are used to identify the persons or contractors who may be involved in maintenance or operations around the shutdown equipment.

25.7 All locks and tags must be removed by the contractors and equipment owner or operator before it can be restarted.

Contamination Control Plan RADIOLOGICAL WORK REQUIREMENTS

.exposure Operations and activities at the West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) frequently involve the use of radioactive and radioactively contaminated materials. Strict compliance with radiological controls is required to eliminate or minimize personnel to radiation and contamination and to control the undesirable spread of radioactive contamination. Therefore, the following requirements are imposed on all work activities involving radiological conditions.

1.0 GENERAL 1.11 The radiation protection standards and controls as set forth in the W'VDP Radiological Controls Manual (WVDP-010) are made part of this specification and adherence to these controls is the responsibility of the Subcontractor and all personnel. Requirements from Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 835 (10 CFR 835),

OccupationalRadiationProtection, have been implemented by WVNSCO in WVDP-010.

The requirements of 10 CFR 835 are DOE nuclear safety requirements that are enforceable under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act (PAAA) which DOE has promulgated in 10 CFR 820. The ProceduralRule for DOE Nuclear Activities, 10 CFR 820, sets forth the procedures to implement provisions of the PAAA which subjects DOE contractors and subcontractors to potential civil and criminal penalties for violations of DOE rules, regulations, and orders relating to nuclear activities (i.e., those activities that may cause radiological harm). Additional information may be found in WVNSCO form WV-19012(b), ASpecial Safety, Health and Security Rules for On-Site Services.@

1.2 Subcontractors shall obtain a Radiation Work Permit (RWP) (WVNSCO form WV-4515) for activities described in WVDP-010. Article 322, such as, working in radiological areas, opening or contact with process piping or equipment and associated systems, work above the seven foot level, excavation within the WVDP (no matter where it occurs),

and when required to perform the scope of work. Job-specific RWPs are issued for nonroutine activities or work in changing radiological conditions and only remain in effect for the duration of the job. General RWPs, which are valid for a period of up to one year, are allowed under circumstances where the radiological conditions are stable and well characterized.

1.3 WVNSCO reserves the right to stop work when WVNSCO personnel consider an unsafe condition to exist and/or when Subcontractor work is not being performed in accordance with WVNSCO requirements and procedures.

Work will continue when the unsafe situation or noncompliance is resolved by WVNSCO and the Subcontractor.

WVNSCO also reserves the right to withhold from radiological work any person who has not satisfied radiological training requirements or has demonstrated unsatisfactory knowledge of radiological controls during work. Such a person shall not be allowed to return to work until the person=s radiological controls knowledge has been upgraded to a satisfactory level as approved by WVNSCO.

Work stoppage caused by any of the above will not result in any claim against WVNSCO.

1.4 WVNSCO will provide radiological surveillance as required for all work in radiologically posted areas. The Subcontractor is required to provide a minimum of twenty-four hours notice for Radiation Protection coverage.

1.5 All equipment in the. radiologically contaminated area shall be monitored by Radiological Control Operations personnelfor radioactive contamination before it can be released for uncontrolled use. WVNSCO Radiological Control Operations should be contacted at least one (1) hour in advance to allow for this monitoring for one or two items. For numerous items or in support of demobilization effort, Radiological Control Operations should be notified twenty-four hours in advance to arrange for survey.

2.0 RADIOLOGICAL WORKER TRAINING 2.1 General Employee Radiological Training (GERT) is a portion of the overall General Employee Training (GET) that is received for unescorted access to the WVDP site. Work of short duration (less than 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> per year) may be performed by individuals for which a Radiation Work Permit (RWP) is required if they successfully complete GET and are continuously escorted by a qualified radiological worker while working under the RWP or in a radiologically posted area.

2.2 Entry into radiological areas to perform work requires that subcontractor personnel receive radiological worker qualification training. Two levels of training are offered by WVNSCO. The level of training (Radiological Worker I or II) is dependent on the workthat is expected to be performed, with the Level II Radiological Worker training for those who require a suit up in anti-contamination clothing or handling of radioactive material. It is recommended that personnel attend GERT (GET) prior to receiving RWI or II training. The training consists of classroom lectures, practical demonstration of work skills, and a written examination. Level I training requires 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of classroom, while Level II training requires an additional 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of training (i.e., total of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />). An additional hour for a practical factors (only one practical) is required to complete RW I or II. RW I and II training is conducted over a two-day period plus a scheduled hour for the practical in the following days.

2.3 WVNSCO conducts radiological worker training as scheduled based on demands by the Project. A five working-day notice is required to schedule class attendance. Maximum class size is 25. TRAINEE REGISTRATION IS TO BE CONDUCTED THROUGH THE DESIGNATED WVNSCO COGNIZANT ENGINEER. Special classes can be conducted on a one-time basis. This requires a ten day notice to WVNSCO.

2.4 Subcontractors who fail to perform satisfactorily on the examinations will be tested no more than one additional time. All retraining time and cost shall be at the Subcontractor's expense. Failure of the second exam results in the retaking of the entire course.

2.5 Radiological worker qualification training (Level I and II) is valid for two years. Requalification involves approximately four hours of computer-based training (CBT), and a practical demonstration. Each year personnel are required to complete a briefing on the changes to the site safety standards. This briefing must be read and the attached attendance sheet signed and returned to the WVNSCO Records Management Department.

In the absence of formal records of previous occupational exposure during the year, a written estimate signed by the individual may be accepted.

8.4 Maximum exposure at the time workers arrive on site should be less than 500 mrem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) for the exposure year, including previous employment. Exemptions are approved on a case-by-case basis, such as, for those individuals receiving radiation dose from other DOE facilities not exceeding 1500 mrem TEDE for the calendar year. While on the WVDP site, radiation dose from WVDP activities may not exceed 500 mrem TEDE for the calendar year, unless assigned to projects where the authorization for 1000 mrem TEDE has been granted.

8.5 It will be the Subcontractor's responsibility to protect equipment and tools from radiological contamination. If any tools or equipment of the Subcontractor do become radiologically contaminated, the Subcontractor shall, at his own expense, decontaminate the tools or equipment. If acceptable levels cannot be obtained, WVNSCO will purchase the tools or equipment (provided WVNSCO procedures were not violated) at a price which represents the fair value thereof and such tools or equipment shall become the property of WVNSCO. The fair value of such tools or equipment shall be based on the replacement cost, age, and condition of the item without regard to levels of contamination.

8.6 Subcontractors planning to use, at the WVDP, equipment, protective clothing, and/or miscellaneous tools or items that have been previously utilized at another nuclear facility shall notify the WVNSCO Radiological Control Operations Department prior to arrival at the WVDP. Such items must be surveyed by WVNSCO for radiological contamination. WVNSCO will determine if the surveyed items may be brought on the WVDP site.

Additionally, individuals who have previously worked at another nuclear facility must notify the WVNSCO Radiological Control Operations Department prior to their arrival at the WVDP. These individuals must be surveyed for radiologicalcontamination prior to entering the WVDP.

8.7 The Subcontractor is to request Radiological Control Operations manpower support 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> in advance of the work.

8.8 The subcontractor must ensure that when using moisture-density gauges at the WVDP, the authorized operator must not leave the gauge unattended at any time (10 CFR 20.207(b)). When personnel are finished using the device, they must properly secure the moisture-density gauge (10 CFR 20.207(a)) to prevent damage, loss, or theft. Properly securing moisture-density gauges will prevent damage to gauges at the WVDP.

8.9 The WVDP Radiological Controls Manual (WVDP-010) requires that for work activities that exceed the following trigger levels, a formal radiological review of the activity be conducted and a pre-job briefing (see WVNSCO form WV-3745) be held. The trigger levels are *asfollows:

8.9.1 Estimated individual or collective dose greater than 100 person-mrem; 8.9.2 'Predicted airborne radioactivity concentrations in excess of one Derived Air Concentration (DAC) to a worker taking into account assigned respiratory protection factors; 8.9.3 General work area removable contamination greater than 100 times the contamination levels in Table 2-2 of WVDP -010; 8.9.4 Entry into areas where dose rates exceed 1 rem/hour; 8.9.5 Potential radioactive releases to the environment of radioactive liquids or airborne materials > one Derived Concentration Guideline (DCG) for an individual radionuclide or > one as the sum of the fractions of the DCGs for a mixture of radionuclides, per DOE Order 5400.5, or an offsite member of the public to receive W eater than 0.1 rnrem per year.

R-.. i **2.'!d?: rLLQ, g , of* .

ALARA pre-job briefings are to be held prior to the conduct of work anticipated to exceed the trigger levels and are to be conducted by the cognizant work supervisor. Policy and Procedure WV-984, "ALARA Program," discusses requirements and appropriate documentation for ALARA pre-job briefings (see WVNSCO form WV-3745).

ALARA post-job reviews (see WVNSCO form WV-31 18) for radiological work activities are to be held for jobs that were estimated or that actually exceeded the trigger levels. Formal post-job reviews are held in the form of a critique and are meetings of the personnel knowledgeable about an event (either a success or an abnormal event) to document a chronological listing of the facts. The purpose of the post-job review or critique is not to assign blame, but to establish and record the facts. WVNSCO Project Document WVDP-242, AEvent Investigation and Reporting Manual,@ discusses requirements and appropriate documentation for critiques.

9.0 CONTAMINATED WASTE DISPOSAL Any material (i.e., solids, semnisolids or liquids) generated by the activities of the subcontractor which are determined by WVNSCO to be radiologically contaminated shall be disposed of in accordance with the directions in the specification or technical document and in accordance with WVNSCO waste management procedures (WVNSCO SOP 9-series and 300-series).

10.0 EXCAVATION 10.1 All excavation within WVDP, no matter where it occurs, requires the issuance of a RWP. NYSERDA shall be informed whenever any excavation work is to be completed in areas under their direct control (this excludes the area currently under DOE control). The Subcontractor should be aware that he may unearth soils which are low-level radioactively contaminated in the course of excavation and may be delayed while WVNSCO monitors the area. All excavation is subject to monitoring by WVNSCO and a Radiological Control Technician will be present at all times or intermittently during excavation operations to monitor soil for radiological contamination.

10.2 If the excavation is being performed in an area where background radiation interferes with the monitoring efforts, the Radiological Control Technician may have to take "grab" samples from the bucket or shovel and remove them to an area where the background radiation is acceptable. In areas of spotty contamination, the equipment operator may be requested to take only partial buckets to allow for an accurate survey.

10.3 In the event radiologically contaminated soil is discovered, Subcontractor shall follow WVNSCO policies and procedures for handling such materials. If the specification or technical documents require the Subcontractor to remove contaminated soil, the Subcontractor personnel involved in the excavation will be required to be radiological worker 11 qualified. WVNSCO will rope off area and place step off pads, hamper, and approved WVNSCO waste container (with lid) at entrance of radiologically contaminated area.
