Waste Disposal Capacity for Oak Ridge Reservation Landfills February 8, 2017 Brian Henry Y-12 Portfolio Federal Project Director
www.energy.gov/EM 2
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 Current and planned landfill capacity sufficient to meet needs

- Environmental Management Waste Management Facility

Landfills are located near the Y-12 National Security Complex

Different landfills available for different waste streams Waste Disposal Facility Type Waste Received Construction/Demolition Landfill VII TDEC Permit Construction/Demolition debris Industrial Landfill IV TDEC Permit Classified, sanitary industrial waste (including office waste, equipment, construction/demolition debris)
Industrial Landfill V TDEC Permit Sanitary industrial waste (including office/cafeteria waste, equipment, construction/demolition debris)
EMWMF CERCLA Low-level radiological and/or chemical soil and demolition debris, equipment, cleanup waste EMDF CERCLA In planning process
www.energy.gov/EM 6
Recycle/Reuse Sanitary Waste ORRL CERCLA Waste EMWMF Ship Offsite Materials identified and handled by the project Landfill IV: Classified, same type of waste as Landfill V Landfill V: Sanitary materials, (including office/cafeteria waste, equipment, construction/demolition debris)
Landfill VII: Construction/Demolition debris Low-level radiological-and/or chemical-contaminated soil and demolition debris and equipment Waste that does not meet ORR disposal facilities acceptance criteria Increasing strategic preference Waste disposal decisions follow waste hierarchy
www.energy.gov/EM 7
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 Sufficient capacity available for sanitary/industrial landfills
www.energy.gov/EM 8
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 Sufficient capacity available for sanitary/industrial landfills
www.energy.gov/EM 9
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 Landfill VII (Construction/Demolition Debris))
Sufficient capacity available for construction/demolition debris landfill
www.energy.gov/EM 10 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 Remaining capacity supports completion of ETTP cleanup
www.energy.gov/EM 11 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 Future capacity needed for Y-12 and ORNL CERCLA cleanup
www.energy.gov/EM 12 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
