1.0 INTRODUCTION
s 1.1 EDE9922 RDd DbjRcttvea The -purpose of this report is to provide a description of the redress plan and the conceptual alternative developed by the CRBRP Project and TVA.
- t. 'In December 1983, the CRBRP Project Director established a Redress Planning Task Force to -initiate the planning effort for site redress activities. The conclusions from this planning task force were used as a starting point for the work completed by the P.roject presented in this report. The objectives of the Project evaluation are as follows:
c A. Develop a plan to redress the site in accordance with NRC requirements or, in lieu of such specific requirements, in a manner determined by DOE and TVA to account for the site'.s potential industrial use wherever feasible.
B. Identify and account for environmental requirements that
- must be met in developing the final site redress plan.
C. . Include the preferred preliminary conceptual alternative provided by the Redress Planning Task Force as an input in the development of the final redress plan. ,
D. Obtain local input from the City of Oak Ridge, Roane County, and other local community leaders.
E. Finalize the site redress plan incorporating input from
- other organizations and the local community that achieves an appropriate balance between environmental requirements and concerns and physical land characteristics consistent with the potential for industrial use.
In order to provide sufficient time to identify any alternate use for the. site, full scale site redress activities are not planned to commence until in May 1985 as described in section 5.6.
2.0 SITE HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION 2.1' ErDjask Ekakun .
The Applicants in this proceeding are the United States Department of Energy (DOE), Project Management Corporation (PMC),
f and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) . The Clinch River-Breeder Reactor Plant (CRBRP) was intended to be a Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor -(LMFBR) demonstration plant with a rated
.a -. ..- .n= - - -- .- _ .
4 output of approximately 350 megawatts of net electrical power, proposed to be located on the Clinch River in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The land on which the site is located has previously been dedicated to industrial use.
On January 11, 1982, the Applicants filed a motion to lift the suspension of licensing hearings, which the Atomic Safety and .*
Licensing Board granted. The Board entered an Order on -
Februa ry 11, 1982, establishing a schedule for the commencement of evidentiary hearings concerning LWA matters. Site suitability hearings were conducted August 23-27, 1982. The ASLB then reopened discovery on all environmental issues, and conducted environmental hearings November 16-19, 1982, and December 13-17, 1982. The ASLB Partial Initial Decision was published February
~28, 1583. The NRC granted a Limited Work Authorization on May 19, 1983. The CRBRP Project had previously been granted authori . '
zation to conduct site preparation activities under 10 CFR 50.12 on August 17, 1982, and actual on-site construction commenced e September 22, 1982.
The U.S. Senate voted on October 26, 1983, to table its
- Appropriations Committee amendment containing a multi-year appropriation for the CRBRP. The result of this action was to provide no Fiscal Year 1984 funds necessary to continue construction of the CRBRP.1 The Applicants then concluded that there appeated no substantial likelihood that such funds will be appropriated. As a result, the Clinch River Breeder Reactor
- Plant ' Project has been terminated and the plant will not be built.
2.2 Sits E.istory The CRBRP site is located on a peninsula formed by the Clinch r l River approximately two miles upstream of the Highway 58 crossing of the river (Gallaher Bridge) within the city limits of Oak Ridge, and in Roane County, Tennessee. The site is on a 1,346 acre tract of land owned by the Federal Government in the custody of TVA. The site area is typical East Tennessee ridges and valleys. TVA granted a right of entry in August 1982 to DOE-CRBRP to about 600 acres of the tract to begin site
. preparation activities authorized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
The Constructor for the CRBRP, Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation (SWEC), started site preparation and excavation work p 1 129 Cons,_Bes, S14611-S146 44 (October 26, 1983). Congress completed action on the Fiscal Year 1984 Supplemental
- Appropriations Bill on November 18, 1983 (129 fong _Res, j H10529,.Nov. 18, 1983). Eng_Also 129 fong,_ Bas H9875 (Nov.
j 15, 1983) and 129 fang _Eas, S16588 ( Nov. 17 , 19 83 ) .

5 in September 1982. Work cuthorized by the NRC included:
Excavation and backfill Non-safety related permanent improvements including a site access road, railroad spur to site, barge unloading f acility, sewage treatment plant, and water line .
Construction support facilities including roads, parking areas, quarry, buildings, fire protection system, electric power, and concrete batch plant.
Site preparation and excavation and the start of the construction support f acilities were curtailed on October 28, 1983. During the thirteen months of work, the following was accomplished:
About 240 acres of the site were cleared and grubbed.
This includes not only the main plant area and contiguous laydown areas but also the access road, areas for spoil, and a portion of the remote- quarry area.
Of the 240 acres cleared and grubbed, approximately 95
- acres have siltstone or soil surf aces, and approximately 55 acres have been stabilized with limestone. 33 acres of the Quarry, 23 acres of the access road, and 10 acres of slopes and treatment pond areas have been seeded.
, The remaining 24 acres include the major excavation.
Runoff from the 95 acres of non-stabilized land is directed to the 5 runof f treatment ponds on-site as required by the NPDES permit. Discharges from these ponds .are well within the limitations specified by the NPDES permit.
E
- About 1.5 million cubic yards of overburden were excavated. The overburden, a cohesive soil, were placed in structural fill, designated random fill, or was spoiled due to organic content, high moisture content or other unsuitable conditions.
~
About 1.5 million cubic yards of rock were excavated in the Nuclear Island (NI) excavation and from two main
- ridges. Most of the rock (limestone and siltstone) was crushed to a three inch maximum size and placed in Class B structural fills.
The permanent access road was completed through the top of subgrade. Subsequent to curtailment of construction, twelve inches of crushed liemstone aggregate was placed on the access road to provide an all-weather surf ace for continuing access to the site. t The on-site portion of the railroad embankment, 4
m _ _ _. . _ . . _ _ _ . __ _
o ,
6 contiguous to the access road, was completed.
An eight-inch water line from DOE's Bear Creek Filtration Plant off-site was completed to road station 50+00 (approximately 6450 feet) .
A construction power substation pas completed by TVA taking power from the Ft. Loudon - K31 161 KV transmission line and providing 25 MVA of 13.8 KV power.
Approximately 2,000 feet of underground distribution to two construction substations was completed.
Four pre-engineered metal buildings from 4,000-5,000 square feet were erected. .
~
A concrete ringer crane pad, approximately 80 feet by 80 feet, was constructed on the east side of-the NI excavation at elevation 814.
A dual concrete batch plant capable of producing 250 cubic yards per hour was erected and put into operation. -
The full scope of authorized site preparation activitiec was not '
initiated because of funding limitations.
.During the entire period of site preparation, the Project has complied with the requirements of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit from the Environmental Protection Agency, including preparation and implementation of an Erosion Control Plan.
2.3 l Site _Damsription The site includes an all-weather access road of approximately
- 6500 feet from a public road (Bear Creek Road) to the plant area and the following relatively level, stabilized areas:
The craft parking lot at average elevation of 836 (14 acres)
(Note: all elevations are given in feet above mean sea level)
Plant and laydown areas at average elevation of 810 (41
- acres) other level areas at lower elevations (13 acres)
Within and contiguous to the plant area are the Nuclear Island (NI) excavation, the normal cooling tower (NCT) excavation and the emergency cooling tower (ECT) excavation which, with their
, side slopes projected to plant area elevations of 810, total 24 acres. 'See attached Sketch 1.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Easksround On November 30, 1981, the Applicants (DOE, PMC, and TVA) submitted a request to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for authorization under 10 CFR 50.12 to conduct site preparation activities prior to issuance of a Limited Work Authorization. In r'esponse to questions contained in an NRC Commission Order of December 24, 1981, the Applicants committed to redress impacts resultin granted.g from site preparation The Applicants' redressif approach a construction permit was not contemplated backfilling and compacting the excavations for permanent plant facilities and other depressions within the construction area.3 Grading to facilitate drainage would leave the site in a ,
condition compatible with its previous dedication to industrial use.4 In -its Memorandum in Support of Request to Conduct Site Preparation Activities the Applicants restated their commitment to redress the environmental impact resulting from site prepara-tion activities if required.5 A description of Site ,
redressibility was provided in section 5.g of the CRBRP Site Preparation Activities Report, June 1982.
The Commission'.s authorization acknowledged that the site could be substantially returned to its original condition, but indicated that the site is set aside for industrial use and that redress to the original condition may not be necessary to 2 Letter, Gordon L.

Termination of the CRBRP Project has ef fectively eliminated the need for non ,4RC permits and approvals as identified in Appendix
- A. Most_ discharges permitted under the EPA NPDES Permit and State of . Tennessee Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification no longer apply. . The Applicants have requested the EPA and State of .
Tennessee for modification to their respective authorizations.9 '
c The requested modifications would eliminate the waste treatment f acility discharge, thermal discharge, and studies relating to reactor facility operations, but retain the discharge permit for runoff treatment ponds and overall site erosion control. Until completion of site redress and environmental stabilization of the site, the existing conditions of the NPDES cf fluent limitation for runof f treatment and overall site erosion control will remain c monitor in effect. During that period the Project will continue to and report in accordance with already established frequencies of the EPA and State of Tennessee. The Federal Aviation Administration permit for structures over 200 feet in height will terminate once the on-site meteorological tower is dismantled. . .
. As discussed in.section 5.6 areas that were cleared during site
- preparation which will not be disturbed during site redress have
.either been seeded or will be seeded during the spring of 1984.
The permit and approval matrix (Appendix A, enclosed) provides a ,
status report for the permits and approvals which will not be required for site redress.
Prior to commencement of site redress activities environmental control- of water quality, air quality, liquid waste, solid waste, and protection of critical ecological elements will be maintained in accordance with the Environmental Control Plan for Maintenance and Redress of the CRBRP Site (Appendix B, enclosed). Tasks'to
. assure environmental control include the following:
- a. Monitor existing erosion and sediment control through regular inspections and specific inspections as required by the Environmental Control Plan.
- b. Repair, replace or establish new barriers, such as straw bales and silt screens, to prevent discharge of sediments from the site.

before it was A subgroup of the CRBRP Site Redress Planning Task Force investigated numerous
-potential uses for the site. The goal of the subgroup was to provide information regarding future uses of importance to the site redress plan. Near term uses which could use some or all of the current excavation were considered, but none were identified as likely in the FY 84-85 time frame. Other specific alternative uses assumed filling in the major NI excavation but were not '
based on any specific redress options such as grading elevations, etc. Again, no near term uses were identified. The following list was compiled based on limited data regarding the possibility of relocating a planned project (e.g. , coal gasification) or matching a potential project to the site (e.g., a DOE experimental reactor) . ,
- 1. TVA power plant inventory site
- 2. Atmospheric fluidized bed combustion demonstration plant site
- 3. Coal gasification site
- 4. Private sector fusion experiment
, 5. Welding research institute l~ 6. Low level radwaste facility
- 7. Spent fuel storage and/or disposal
, 8. Industrial hazardous waste management facility i 9. Experimental use by University of Tennessea l 10. Oak Ridge airport L 11. Experimental use by other Federal Agencies l 12. DOE fusion demonstration
- 13. DDE experimental reactor
- 14. Military reactor projects
- 15. DOE waste repository -
- 16. HTGR demonstration plant L Although any one of the specific uses listed above could emerge as a development option, it was concluded that generalized 11 Docket 50-537, CLI-82-23, Commission Memorandum and Order, dated August 17,1982, pages 19 and 20,16 NRC at 427.

12 industrial development is considered the type of use most likely to occur in the future. Although no immediate uses of this kind have been identified, it was concluded that if redress commenced af ter the spring of 1985, such options would not be forclosed and, in view of the continuing maintenance of environmental controls at the site (see Sections 3.2 and 3.3) no significant adverse environmental impacts would occur.
5.0 SITE REDRESS PLAN 5.1 SengxAl The overall objective of the plan is to reconfigure and redress the site to provide an environmentally stable, self-draining, self-maintainin~g and aesthetically acceptable site that can be .
left unattended.
In planning for site redress, two general categories of conceptual options were considered:
Topographic approaches which accomplish the objectives noted above and which preserve the potential of the site consistent with its previous dedication to future industrial use.
- Completion or addition of site development features such as a railroad spur, a barge facility, sewage treatment plant, or a water line to enhance the value of the site for potential industrial uses.
5.2 BLtn Endress_Cx.L.terLa -
In addressing redress alternatives, the following criteria were assumed to apply:
Excavations will be filled at least to minimum elevations suf ficient to provide self-drainage to the Clinch River.
No area outside the present cleared area will be disturbed.
- Borrow materials to be used in backfilling excavations and topographic reconfigurations will be taken from locations on the site which are within the present cleared area.
Surf ace stabilization to assure erosion control.
- The area identified on plant construction drawings as the Craft Parking Lot, about 14 acres, with an average elevation of 83 6 will remain ".as is. " The area is t

13 currently environmentally stable and would be useful for :
any future industrial development.
Pre-engineered metal buildings and the dual batch plant
- will be removed while the substation will be de-energized.
On-site meteorological station will be de-energized and removed.
5.3 CDD229hnal Pedsagn lk1kgxDaklyRB Two conceptual schemes for accomplishing redress of the CRBRP Site were considered. .
The two alternative approaches for site redress which appeared most feasible for further refinement and assessment are:
Alternate 1 - Backfill the NI excavation, the NCT excavation and trench, and the ECT excavation to the general plant grade of 810. Material to fill excavations ,
g would be taken from Spoil Areas 2, 3 and 6, the East Laydown Area, the CBI Area, and the South Plant Area.
This would provide a site with two major usable I
areas--the Craf t Parking Lot (14i acres) and the general plant area at an average elevation of 810 (47A acres).
See Sketch 2.
. Alternate 2 - Backfill the NI excavation, the NCT excavation and trench, and the ECT excavation to about
, elevation 780. Establish a drainage " spine" from the
! excavations in a plant south direction to the Clinch l River. Material would be taken from Spoil Areas 2, 3 and 6, the East Laydown Area and the CBI Area. This would provide a site with three major usable areas--the Craf t i
Parking Lot (14i acres), the West Area (29A acres) and the-East Area (25i acres). The excavation and redress activities would result in a perimeter road along the north side of the plant area which would provide L . additional access to the lower portion of the peninsula.
The Bear Creek water line would be completed from the present terminus of road station 50+00 to 71+30 (approximately 2,000 feet) . See Sketch 3.
5.4 ABynDhasen aDB Dinadxantasen DLhltexDativen 1 and 2 Both altern4tives meet all environmental requirements. The principal advantage of Alternative 1 is that it provides the most flexibility for future use. Except for the Craft Parking Lot, -
the site is lef t at one general elevation, about 810.
l The disadvantages of Alternative 1 are the higher cost and longer construction schedule and less net usable acreage for industrial i
. ---- - - - ..<-.---.u- - .=.w. .._ . ..

14 use. To backfill the excavations with material to support industrial structures will require borrowing from and eliminating some presently stabilized fills.
A preliminary estimate indicates that as much as 1.3 million cubic yards of material may have to be moved at a cost of about
$6 million. Optimistically, this work might be completed in -
seven months. However, the schedule is sensitive to the final
-determination of the stability required in the excavation backfills.
The principal advantage of Alternative 2, other than lower cost and schedule considerations, is that it provides the most net usable, stabilized area to support industrial structures. Since the excavations will be part of a drainage " spine," requirements for backfill will be less than in alternative 1 and material can .
be borrowed from spoil areas and other non-stabilized areas. In addition, Alternative 2 includes the completed water line and additional access to the lower portion of the peninsula, both important development parameters for the potential development of
. the site for industrial purposes.
The disadvantage of Alternative 2 is the less flexible site topography. The reconfigured site will have three areas--the Craft Parking Lot (14 acres), a West Area (29 acres), and an East Area (25 acres). . This will not- provide as much flexibility in locating future site improvements.
A preliminary estimate for Alternative 2 indicates that about 750
- thousand cubic yards of material may have to be moved at a cost of $3-4 million.' A schedule of six months for accomplishment
( should be readily achievable.
5.5 .CDaplskiDD DL EdditiDD DLEDD TDDDsrap_bic Enntnxas The completion of the following non-topographic improvements which were planned, designed, and approved for construction by NRC in the authorization permit, were not completed during site preparation. They would, if completed, enhance the value of the
-site for. future use, but were rejected from consideration during redress. doe to the extrcme high cost, environmental disturbance to areas currently undisturbed and the negative effect on the redr'ess construction schedule of about seven months.
The barge unloading facility adjacent to the access road at about road station 22+00. It is estimated to cost about
!- $1.2 million.
.The railroad spur from the K-25 spur to the site. It is
. estimated to cost about $1.8 million. If completed as planned, it would have limited value since it would be subject to severe security restrictions where it passes j through K-25.
9 15 The sewage treatment plants on-site. The designed plants would have a capacity of 65,000 gpd and are estimated to cost about $600 thousand to complete.
I
. The addition of th: following improvements would enhance the value of the site for industrial use: ;
Construction of a railroad spur to the site outcide of the
,' K-25 security fence (present design utilizes existing track through K-25). An estimate has not been made for this routing, but it would be about 14,000 feet longer than the present design, would require bridges over two roads and one creek, and thus cost considerably more than present design.
Upgrading the existing gravel road that connects with State
., Highway 95 and the intersection of Bethel Valley Road which serves the National Laboratory. T would provide a more
- direct route to the Pellissippi Pat ' and to East I-40 via Route 95. This would be a major and 'ly construction task.
i None of the additional improvements considered in this subsection were incorporated into either alternative due to their high cost, potential environmental impacts, and negative effect on the redress construction schedule.
5.6 CDDGlnAL9D Because of its lower cost, larger usable land area, and schedular advantage Alternative 2 was selected as the preferred approach to redressing the site. Modifications to Alternative 2 have been made to ' provide an -approximate 6 additional acres thereby maximizing usable land area.
! The site will be reworked to leave it in a condition that is both environmentally and aesthetically acceptable; that is, self-maintaining and suitable for future use. This work will include excavation of borrow material from the site to fill or partially fill the existing excavations for the Nuclear Island, Normal Cooling Tower and Emergency Cooling Tower. The site will i
also be .re-graded and seeded in order that erosion and transport l- of sediment into the Clinch River can be kept within acceptable, limits. The design of new grades and the finish grading of the
- site will provide access to stabilized surface areas suitable for future industrial use. ,
The redress activities will comply with all applicable permits issued to the CRBRP and applicable requirements. Access to the 2
'Hensley Cemetery, will be maintained during redress of the site
+
and remain after redress. No arna outside the present cleared and ' grubbed area will be disturbed during site redress work.
w .: w - .. - ---. u - - .- ~. - .- -_ _ _
16 A plan of the proposed Modifications to Alternative 2 is shown on Sketch 4. The major features of this scheme are: (1) fill the
- Nuclear Island and Emergency Cooling Tower excavations to an
. elevation which will facilitate natural drainage to the Clinch River :and (2) fill the Normal Cooling Tower excavation to surrounding grade elevation. Materials to be used in backfilling these excavations will be taken from locations on the site which are within the present approved clearing and grubbing limits.
Selection of borrow areas will give priority to areas where borrow will have the least impact on future industrial use of the site. Excavation of materials from the borrow areas will be performed by methods which will prevent run-off directly into the river. In order to assure adequate stability of filled areas .
intended for future industrial use, placement of fill will be controlled by specifying suitable lift daickness, compactive
, equipment and compactive methods.
In addition to 're-grading the site, several non-topographic improveme-ts are planned. Temporary buildings and the Concrete Batch Plant will be removed from the site. The foundations for these structures, the aggregate storage bins, the truck wash
- facility, and miscellaneous equipment footings and pads will be demolished. The 8". Bear Creek Water Line along the Access Road was terminaf
- ed at WM Station 50+00. This line will be extended approximately 2,000 feet along the continuation of the Access Road to a point south of the N.I. Excavation.
- 2.fter the site has been re-graded the area will be stabilized by seeding or surfacing with aggregate. Areas currently stabilized and surfaced with aggregate will remain as is. All other areas, except for access roads, will be seeded. After planted material and slopes have been established and stabilized, the treatment
- ponds will be removed (in accordance with state of Tennessee i
requirements) allowing the site to drain naturally to the Clinch t
River.- The land will be included as an integral .part of the forestry management program conducted by the DOE in this area.
Seedlings will be planted as a part of daat forestry management program. It should be noted that areas that were cleared during site preparation and which will not be disturbed during the l redress construction either have been seeded or will be seeded in
( the spring of 1984. Included in this effort are the quarry area, l' slopes along the site access road and peripheral areas around the t plant area. Planting of pine seedlings in the quarry area and along the access road has started and will be completed in the spring of 1934.

Should such an industrial use be identified, or should the Project's- plans or schedules change to any significant extent the NRC will be informed. This plan will assure that the environment of the site is protected, consistent with preserving its previously dedicated potential for industrial use.
The Project met with EPA Region IV on Februry 22, 1984 in Atlanta, Georgia to present this approach and schedule for site redress. EPA stated, "We concur with your conceptual approach and agree that one year is a reasonable time to develop a final site site."
rggress plan, and to investigate potential use for the The Project also met with the State of Tennessee, Division of Water Management, on February 24, 1984 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee for the same purpose. The State water management people informally stated their concurrence with the proposed approach. The Project is also working with the local community governments and leaders to factor in any comments from a land use -
planning and industrial development standpoint. To date the Project has met with the Oak Ridge City Council (February 21, 1984) and the Roane - Anderson Economic Council (March 2, 1984) and is scheduled to meet with the Roane County Commission on March 12, 1984. These community leaders have also expressed their concurrence for the redress approach and schedule. The '
CRBRP Project will continue to involve the community in the redress planning activities.

ENVf RONMENTAL CONTROL - PL AN FOR MAINTENANCE AND REDRESS OF THE CRBRP SITE -
T. 0 PURPOSE
- The purpose of this plan is to establish and describe the environ-mental controls to be used during maintenance of CRBRP Site and then during redress of the site. Maintenance of the site and redress of the site are further described below.
This plan has been developed from the pertinent requi'rements affecting the CRBRP Site, including but not limited to the Project's NPDES Per-mit Number TND028801 and the Project's Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.. prepared by Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation (SWEC).
This plan is to be continuously implemented from the time the Con-
,structor for the CRBRP (SWEC) is relieved of responsibility for the site and another organization assumes responsibility for the site, by .
contract or agreement with DOE-CRBRP, until site redress has been com-pleted and adequate vegetation has grown to make the site environ-
. mentally stable. -
2.0 DEFINITIONS' 2.'1 Maintenance of the Site - Maintenance of CRBRP Site during the period from relief of the Constructor' of site responsibility until the~ start of redress construction. -
Activities at the Site during this period will be limited to cortrol of runoff and sediments, removal of construction materials,and equipment, removal of superstructures of buildings and removal of_ the concrete batch plant.
'2.2 Redress of the Site - Redress.of the site to make it environ-mentally stable and aesthetically acceptable for return to TVA control. -
~
. Activities to be conducted will be primarily movement of soil and rock within the site to reconfigure the topography to make the site self-draining and, to the extent deemed prudent, pro-vide stabilized areas -for future use. Standard earth moving and placing equipment will be used. Incidental blasting of rock and_ concrete slabs / footings is anticipated. Some drainage structures (culverts) may be required.
3.0 PLAN COVERAGE Included in this Environmental Control Plan are measures to be taken to
( satisfy existing project commitments.
- ~ - . . . .
na. . . . . . --. . . . - . . . - _
~ '
~' Measures re:;uired by ths Project's GPDES Permit, number TN002EE01 and the Erosion -and Sediment Control Plan are covered in the sec-tion Water Ouality Control.
l[
Control of fugitive dust from unpaved roads and limitations on open burning of wood products are detailed in the section Air Quality' Control.
~
Measures for controlling oil and oil spills are provided in the section Liouid Waste Control.
Measures for disposing of solid wastes from the site are provided in the section Solid Waste Control.
Measures for protecting rare and unusual plant species on the site are described in the section Rare and Unusual Plant' Species.
Activities which are conducted at the site during either maintenaned or -redress and, one, not covered by this plan and, two, regulated by Federal or State Agencies, will be controlled by separate plans. Any permits required for such activities are to be obtained by the organi-2ation conducting the activity and copies of plans and permits are to be p'rovided to the DOE-CRBRP. -
.0 DESIGNATION OF RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL The organization responsible for environmental control of the site .
shall designate an individual to oversee environmental control
. activities. DOE-CRBRP shall be advised in writing of the name and
> -( . - -
' qualifications of the individual so designated and that he has the
, authority to require implementation of environmental control measures. '
The individual designated shall plan for envircnmental control measures for specific activities ar'd shall insu e their proper im-
, plementation. .
5.0 WATER QUALITY CONTROL -
5.' 1 Erosion and Sediment Control Durina Site Maintenance
~
. During the maintenance period of the CRBRP Site erosion c
. and sediment control will consist of maintaining the ef-fectiveness of existing control measures. The site is to be inspected regularly for' evidences of erosion and deterio-
" " ration of existing control features. If problem areas are
[' identified actions are to be implemented promptly to correct them.
~
Effluent samples from the runoff treatment ponds A through .
E are to be collected and analysed according to the limita-tions and monitoring requirements of the Project's NPDES permit. An extract of the pertinent requirements is at Attachment 1. Sample analyses, results and inspection C findings are to be reported to' DOE-CRBRP pr.omptly.
f L.
U
,l In the event inat effluent concentrations exceed 50 oc/1, the contrattor shall evaluate system performante to assure that the system is operating as designed and that Cn-site Controls are effective. Contractor shall tske appropriate corrective action
'( as required.
The water level in the runoff treatment ponds is to be controlled t'o prevent them from overflowing. To accomplish this it may be necessary to pump water from one pond to another that has sufficient
_ capacity.
2 The runoff treatment pond filters are to be maintained in good 4 -
working condition. In the event that siltation of the filters re-duces flow-through below design capabilities, filters shall be cleaned in a manner approved by DOE-CRBRP.
5.2 Erosion and Sediment Control Durina Site Redress The primary method for controlling erosion ont' he site is to be by
- diverting as much runoff as possible into the runoff treatment ponds to be filtered and discharged to the Clinch River. This is to be accomplished by maintaining the slopes of cut and fill areas so they will drain into treatment ponds. Earthwork must be sequenced to control the size' of areas draining into each treatment pond to '
prevent their_being overloaded. .The approximate maximum crainage area for each of the treatment ponds is: .
Pond A 44 acres
> . . . Pond B 34 acres C
Pond C 48 acres -
Pond D 32 acres Pond E 82 acres If th'e size of drainage areas is not maintained, overloading of individual ponds may result. In these circumstances it will be necessary to control the water level in the overloaded ponds. To
- t. -
accomplish this it will be necessary to have the capability of I
pumping water from the overloaded ponds to the ponds with excess capacity.
l Spoi_1 areas and areas where large volumes of materials will be L moved shall have barriers placed along the toe of the outer most slopes (where runoff flows toward the river), prior to start of t'
earthwork until they are stabilized, well vegetated and erosion is i
prevented. All affected areas shall be inspected after each rain-fall to verify that erosion is minimized and that erosion and sediment control structures are being effective. Erosion control features shall be repaired, replaced, or added as required to maintain effectiveness.
Existing erosion control measures presently in place protecting previously disturbed areas of the site are to be maintained as lorg as necessary. If new problems develop new control measures are to be installed.

, Effluen.t samples from the runoff treatment ponds are to be collected and analysed according to the limitations and monitorine-recuirements of the Project's HPDES permit. An extract of ine pertinent requirements is at Attachment 1. Eample analyses, re-1 '
suits and inspection findings are to be reported to the DDE-CRE2.P promptly. .
In the event that effluent concentration exceeds 50 mg/1, the contractor shall evalt:M system performance to assure that the system is cperating as designed and that.on-site controls are -*
effective. Contractor shall take appropriate corrective action as required.
Disturbed areas which do not drain into treatment ponds are to have separate erosion control measures installed. These measures are to include straw dams, silt fences and others as required to minimize sediments reaching the Clinch River.
The runoff treatment pond filters are to be maintained in cood working condition. In the event that siltation of the filiers reduces flow-through below design capabilities, filters shall be cleaned in a manner approved by DOE-CRBRP.
Rainfall data representativecof;'tbe:sitecsball be collected.
5.3 Other Water Quality Control ,
There are two potential sources of water on th'e site: a w' ell at the Concrete Batch Plant Area and the Bear Creek Water Line. The
( well will be capped and not used. The Bear Creek Water Line has been installed from the K-25 Water Filtration Plant, along the site Access Road to water.line station 74+50 where it terminates with a fire hydrant. The.line has had a~ hydrostatic test performed on it but is not connected to the K-25 Water Filtration Plant and has not been flushed or disinfected.
'No discharges from the site, other than those permitted by the
, project's NPDES permit from the runoff treatment ponds, are per-
. mitted. If any other discharge occurs the contractor is to im-
. mddiately inform the DOE-CRBRP.
6.0 AIR OUALITY CONTROL 6.1 Dust Control .
E' . . . .
. . Water sprinkling of laydown, storage, and parking areas, unpaved
'7' roads and other areas of the site is to be used to control dust formation. Tnis can be accomplished through the use of sprinkler trucks which can obtain water from the Clinch River. A specific area along the river at which the trucks may obtain water will be The area will be regularly inspected and any observed designated.
damage to the riverbank at this area will be repaired and corrective actions taken. The area will be protected against erosion by place-ment of crushed stone and curbing, ?nd b'y limiting the distance from
(. tqe river the trucks may approach, or by designating a different area.
