Waste Disposal Capacity for Oak Ridge Reservation Landfills Brian Henry Y-12 Portfolio Federal Project Director February 8, 2017 www.energy.gov/EM 1

Current and planned landfill capacity sufficient to meet needs Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) Landfills

• DOE operates several landfills for safe and compliant disposal of ORR remediation, demolition, and sanitary waste

• Operating landfills are permitted by Tennessee Solid Waste Division (SWD) or fall under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)

• Each landfill has established criteria to determine whether waste is acceptable for disposal www.energy.gov/EM 2

Oak Ridge Reservation City of Oak Ridge ETTP Y-12 EMWMF*

ORNL

• Environmental Management Waste Management Facility www.energy.gov/EM 3

Landfills are located near the Y-12 National Security Complex www.energy.gov/EM 4

Different landfills available for different waste streams Waste Disposal Facility Type Waste Received Construction/Demolition TDEC Permit Construction/Demolition debris Landfill VII Classified, sanitary industrial waste Industrial Landfill IV TDEC Permit (including office waste, equipment, construction/demolition debris)

Sanitary industrial waste (including Industrial Landfill V TDEC Permit office/cafeteria waste, equipment, construction/demolition debris)

Low-level radiological and/or chemical EMWMF CERCLA soil and demolition debris, equipment, cleanup waste EMDF CERCLA In planning process www.energy.gov/EM 5

Waste disposal decisions follow waste hierarchy Materials identified and Recycle/Reuse handled by the project Increasing strategic preference Landfill IV: Classified, same type of waste as Landfill V Sanitary Waste Landfill V: Sanitary materials, (including office/cafeteria ORRL waste, equipment, construction/demolition debris)

Landfill VII: Construction/Demolition debris Low-level radiological- and/or CERCLA Waste chemical-contaminated soil and EMWMF demolition debris and equipment Waste that does Ship Offsite not meet ORR disposal facilities acceptance criteria www.energy.gov/EM 6

Sufficient capacity available for sanitary/industrial landfills Landfill IV (Classified Sanitary/Industrial)

• 4.2-acre landfill, opened in 1989

• Receives classified sanitary industrial waste from ORR sites

• Permitted total capacity of 89,000 cubic yards

• Currently about 50% full

• Constructed airspace approximately 71,000 cubic yards www.energy.gov/EM 7

Sufficient capacity available for sanitary/industrial landfills Landfill V (Sanitary/Industrial)

• 25.9-acre landfill, opened in 1994

• Lined disposal areas receive office trash, cafeteria waste, and other sanitary waste from the ORR sites

• Approximate total capacity of 2.1 million cubic yards

• Currently about 40% full

• Constructed airspace approximately 1.3 million cubic yards www.energy.gov/EM 8

Sufficient capacity available for construction/demolition debris landfill Landfill VII (Construction/Demolition Debris))

• 30.4-acre site, opened in 2001

• Unlined disposal areas receive building construction and demolition debris

• Approximate total capacity of 2.08 million cubic yards

• Currently about XX% full

• Constructed airspace approximately 1.1 million cubic yards www.energy.gov/EM 9

Remaining capacity supports completion of ETTP cleanup EMWMF (Low-level CERCLA Cleanup Waste)

• 28-acre landfill, opened in 2002

• Lined disposal cells receive low-level radiological and chemical waste from CERCLA cleanup of ORR and associated sites

• Approximate total capacity of 2.18 million cubic yards

• Planned final cap redesign will increase capacity to approximately 2.3 million cubic yards

• Currently about 75% full www.energy.gov/EM 10

Future capacity needed for Y-12 and ORNL CERCLA cleanup Environmental Management Disposal Facility

• Currently in the CERCLA investigation/planning phase

• On-site alternatives -

new Bear Creek Valley CERCLA disposal facility - Various sites under consideration

• Potential disposal site capacities range from 2.2M to 2.8M yd3 www.energy.gov/EM 11

Current and planned waste disposal capacity supports cleanup of the ORR

• ORR has sufficient permitted capacity for sanitary/industrial landfills

• EMWMF has sufficient capacity for the completion of ETTP Cleanup

• Additional capacity (EMDF) is necessary to support the future cleanup of Y-12 and ORNL www.energy.gov/EM 12
