APPLICANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS PROCEEDING The United States Department of-Energy (DOE) and Project Management Corporation (PMC)',.for themselves and on behalf of the Tennessee Valley Authority-(the Applicants), hereby-file this Motion to. Dismiss Proceeding.- In support thereof, the Applicants state the following:-

1., On January 20, 1984, the Atomic Safety and Licensing

- Board (the Board) issued a Notice of Conference with Parties to address t'he subject of revocation of the LWA, and to determine if

~

any-conditions'to. ameliorate the environmental impact of site preparation activities are needed. See ALAB-755,. Slip Opinion at 3-4. Former intervenors, such'as NRDC and the Sierra Club, were J

permitted to. participate in'the conference by way of limited

. appearance. . (Notice of Conference, January 20, 1984 at 2.) All filings to be considered'at the conference were required to be

- received by:the Board not.latar than 3:00 P.M., March 8, 1984. In

~

response to'circurstances which made.it impossible for all Board b

0 0 N7 PDR b

-. . . members to participate in the conference, and counsel for PMC's March 8, 1984 letter indicating that all documents pertaining to

-site redress were not completed prior to March 8, 1984, the Board issued its March 8, 1984 Order which vacated the conference and indicated-that the date and place of further proceedings would be announced at a later date.

2. On February 29, 1984, the Appeal Board issued a Memorandum and Order, which inter alia, allowed former intervenors to participate as full parties in the Conference. ALAB-761, Slip Opinion (February 29, 1984). On March 5, 1984, DOE and PMC filed with the Commission itself a Petition for Review of February 29, 1984 Appeal Board Memorandum and Order Readmitting Intervenors to the Proceedings. On June 18, 1984 the Commission declined review.

3. On March 5, 1984, the Applicants submitted their final redress plan for NRC Staff review and approval (Attachment A).

The approach and schedules discussed in the plan have been previously endorsed by the City of Oak Ridge, the State of Tennessee, and the United States Enviornmental Protection Agency (Attachments B, C, and D, respectively). The NRC Staff has reviewed and approved the plan under the conditions of and as indicated in their letter dated June 6, 1984 (Attachment E).

4. DOE and TVA have executed a Supplemental Agreement under which DOE agreed to redress the site and obligated the funding necessary to effectuate redress (Attachment F).

5. The NRC Staff has been notified that the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant project wishes to withdraw the application, and the project has requested that the limited work authorization

.. . -be revoked (Attachment G). In view of that, and the matters set forth in paragraph 3 above, the Applicants hereby move that Board authorize revocation of the LWA, and the proceedings be dismissed

.without prejudice, subject to the conditions set forth in the redress plan and the Staff's letter approving that plan (Attachments A and E hereto).

6. Good cause exists for grant of the Motion. The project will not1be completed. Pending completion of redress activities the applicable conditions of the existing Federal water permit (including the sediments and erosion control plan) and State substantive water quality requirements will remain in effect, and thus site environmental protection activities will be maintained.

Consistent with the longstanding dedication of the site to industrial use, those portions of the site not devoted to industrial use. prior to the Spring of 1985 will be redressed according to the plan. Under these circumstances and in light of Applicant's withdrawal of the license application, the Board is requested to authorize revocation of the LWA and dismiss the proceedings without prejudice, subject to the conditions of Attachments A and E.

1.1 Purpose and Objgt,t;iggs 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. ,

In December 1983, the CRBRP Project Director established a Redress Planning . Task Force to initiate the planning effort for 2 site redress activities. The conclusions from this planning task force were used as a starting point for the work completed by the Project presented in this report. The objectives of the Project evaluation are as follows:

< 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. ,

4 C. Include th'e 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 ccamunity 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 a to commence until in May 1985 as described in section 5.6.

2.0 SITE HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION ,

t 2.1 Proinct. status  ;

The Applicants in this proceeding are the United States Department of Energy (DOE), Project Management Corporation (PMC), ,

and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) . The Clinch River f Breeder Reactor Plant (CRBRP) was intended to be a Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) demonstration plant with a rated r

output of approximately 350 megawatts of net electrical power, proposed to be located on the Clinch River in Oak Ridge, Tennes see. 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 i 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 L 28, 1983. 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 September 22, 1982.

The U.S. Senate voted on October 26, 1983, to table its Appropriations Committee amendment containing a multi-year i 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 appeared no substantial likelihood that such funds will be appropriated. As a result, the Clinch River Breeder Reactor i Plant Project has been terminated and the plant will not be built.

2.2 Sits HistoIy The CRBRP site is located on a peninsula formed by the Clinch 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 i ------- -

. in September 1982. Work authorized by th'e NRC included:

Excavation and backfill Non-safety related permanent improvements inc1'uding a site access road, railroad spur to site, barge unloading facility, sewage treatment plant, and water line Construction support facilities including roads, parking areas, quarry, buildings, fire protection system, electric power, and concrete batch plant.

S'i te preparation and excavation and the start of the construction support facilities were curtailed on October 28, 1983. During

'the thirteen months of work, the following was accomplished:

' About 240 acres of the site. were cleare'd 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 surfaces, 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 runoff treatment ponds' on-site as

', required by the NPDES permit. Discharges from these ponds are well within the limitations specified by the NPDES permit.

~

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 exbavated in

' the Nuclear Island (NI) excavation and from two main ridges. Most of the rock (limestone and siltatone) was

. crushed to a three inch maximum size and placed in Class

, B structural fills.

a.

• The permanent access road was completed through the top

of subgrade. Subsequent to curtailment of construction,

. twelve inches of crushed liematone aggregate was placed on the access road to provide an all-weather surf ace for continuing access to the site.

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) .

- i A construction power substation was 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 activities 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 e

Protection Agency, including preparation and implementation of an Erosion Control Plan.

2.3 Site D33sription

~

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 elevationg 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

• l, - (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.

Non-topographic features of the site, besides the all-weather e

7 access road, include the 8-inch water line to road station 50+00, approximately 2000 feet of underground power distribution, four pre-engineered metal buildings, concrete batch plant, construc-tion power substation, and the concrete ringer crane pad.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Baghground 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 response to questions contained in an NRC Commission Order of December 24, 1981, the Applicants committed to redress impacts resulting from site preparation if a construction permit was not granted.Z The Applicants' redress approach 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 l

cond:. tion compatible with its previous dedication to industrial use.6 r

In its Memorandum in Support of Request to Conduct Site Preparation Activities the Applicants restated their commitment to redress the environmenta1 ma res n9 I ma e prepara-tion activities if required.5 A description of Site redressibility Preparation Activities Report, June 1982.

was provided in section 5.g of the CRBRP Site 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.

9 3.2 Applicable PgImit_and Regulatory 4DDIovals Termination of the CRBRP Project has ef fectively eliminated the '

need for non-NRC 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 The requested modifications would eliminate the waste treatment facility discharge, thermal discharge, and studies relating to reactor facility operations, but retain the discharge permit for runoff treatment ponds and overall rite erosion control. Until completion of site redress and environmental stabilization of the site, the existing conditions of the NPDES ef fluent limitation for runoff treatment and overall site erosion control will remain in effect. During that period the Project will continue to monitor 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.

Na 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.

3 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 4

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

-industrial development is considered th.e 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 SansxA1 The overall objective of the plan is to reconfigure and redress the site to provide an environmentally stable, self-draining, self-maintaining 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 industria1'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 Sits.Hedr333 SI113Xig In addressing redress alternatives, the following criteria were l assumed to apply:

l Excatrations will be filled at least to minimum elevations

! sufficient to provide self-drainage to the Clinch River.

l 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.

Surface stabilization to assure erosion c'ontrol.

• The area identified on plant construction drawings as the Craft Parking Lot, about 14 acres, with an average elevation of 836 will remain "as is. " The area is 6

currently environmentally stable and would be usef ul 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 ba de-energized and removed.

[ 5.3 Conceptual Radress_Alternativas 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

, would be taken from Spoil Areas 2, 3 and 6, the East Laydown Area, the CBI Area, and the South Plant Area.

l This would provide a site with two major usable areas--the Craf t Parking Lot (14i acres) and the general l Plant area at an average elevation of 810 (471 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 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 t

Parking Lot (14i acres), the West Area (29i acres) and i the East Area (25i~ acres). The excavation and redress l

activities would' result in a perimeter road along the

l. , north side of the plant area which would provide 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 Advantages.and Disadvantages of Alternativ33_1_and 2 Both alternatives meet all environmental requirements. The principal advantage of Alternative 1 is that it provides the most

, flexibility for' future use. Except for the Craf t Parking Lot, 4 the site is lef t at _one general elevation, about 810. -

The disadvantages of Alternative 1 are the higher cost and longer

- construction schedule and less net usable acreage for industrial i

~---...sn--.-... w a-..-,.. --n_,m,,me- ,, m.--,.m.,m.v,.--,,.mw ,-,.mn,. _. . , . m-w , ,m

, 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.

1 The princip1 advantage of Alternative 2, other than lower cost and schedule considerations, is that it provides the most net 4

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 i 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.

I 5.5 .CQBpletion oI_ Addition of NGD-Topocraphic F3 Atug33 i

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 l

site for future use, but were rejected from consideration during l redress due to the extreme high cost, environmental disturbance

[ to areas currently undisturbed and the negative effect on the redress construction schedule of about seven months.

The barge unloading facility adjacent to the access road at l about road station 22+00. It is estimated to cost about l $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 i through K-25.

15 l The sewage treatment plants on-site. The designed plants

, would have a capacity of 65,000 gpd and are estimated to cost about $600 d2ousand to complete.

The addition of' the following improvements would enhance the value of the site for industrial use:

Construction of a railroad spur to the site outside of the K-25 security fence (present design utilizes existing +. rack 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. This would provide a more direct route to the Pellissippi Park.way and to East I-40 via Route 95. This would be a major and costly 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 ef fect on the redress construction schedule.

5.6 Canskusken 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 usu. This work will l include excavation of borrow material from the site to fill or l partially fill the existing excavations for the Nuclear Island, 1

Normal Cooling Tower and Emergency Cooling Tower. The site will also be re-graded and seeded in order that erosion and transport j of sediment into the Clinch River can be kept within acceptable l 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 Bensley Cemetery, will be maintained during redress of the site and remain after redress. No area outside the present cleared and grubbed area will be disturbed during site redress work.

16 l l

A plan of the proposed Modifications to Alternative 2 is shown on Sketch 4. The major features of this scheme ares (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 e 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 thickness, compactive equipment and compactive methods.

1 In addition to re-grading the site, several non-topographic improvements 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 4 was terminated 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.

After 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 treatmer.t ponds will be removed (in accordance with state of Tennessee requirements) allowing the site to drain naturally to the Clinch 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 that forestry manegement ,

program. It should be noted that areas that were cleared during site preparation and which will not be disturbed during the redress construction either have been seeded or will be seeded in the spring of 1984. Included in this effort are the quarry area, I slopes along the site access road and peripheral areas around the 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 1984.  :

Redress activities would be scheduled to commence during the

. spring of 1985. Before commencement and during redress, til 1 applicable environmental controls will be maintained (see sections 3.2 and 3.3) . If prior to commencement industrial uses for the site are identified and committed which are consistent with the longstanding development plan for the site, then redress, s

~ *

. 17 would be implemented by the Project in accordance with this plan on those areas of the site not committed to industrial use. The site would then be returned to TVA for industrial development.

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, i i 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 Ronne - 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.

, ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL PLAN FOR MAINTENANCE AND REDRESS OF THE '

CRBRP SITE -

1.0 P'JRPOSE 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 requirements affecting the CRBRP Site, . including but not limited to the Project's NPDES Per-mit Number TN0028801 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 (SEC) is relieved of responsibility for the site and another organization assumes responsibility for the site, by contract or agreemant with DOE-CRBRP, until site redress has been com-plated and adequate vegetation.has grown to make the site environ-mentally stable.

2.0 DEFINITIONS k .

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.

i

'2.2. Redrett of the Site - Redress.of the site to make it environ-menta.y stable and aesthetically acceptable for return to

, TVA control.

Activities to be con

• ducted 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 -

i Included in this Environmental Control Plan are measures to be taken to

( satisfy existing project commitments.

l .

. :- .c.

• $1 /

y Measures required by the Project's NPDES Permit, number TN0028201 i.

and.the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan are covered in the sec-tion Water Ouality Control.

( ' Control of fugitive dust from unpaved roads and limitations on open burning of wood products are detailed in the section Air Qualitv-

+

Control.

' Measures for controlling oil and oil spills are provided in the i section Liquid 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.

LActivities which are conducted at the site during either maintenance ^

'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-zation conducting the activity and copies of plans and permits are to be p'rovided to the DOE-CRBRP.

4.0 DESIGNATION OF RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL

, t The organization responsible for environmental control of the site .

-shall designate an individual to oversee environmental'co-trol .

activities. DOE-CRBRP shall be advised in writing of the name and.

1. ' 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 environmental control measures for specific activities and shall insu e their proper im-

.plementation. ,

5.0 WATER QUALITY CONTROL '

5.1 Erosion and Sediment Control During Site Maintenance During the maintenance period of the CRBRP Site erosion

' and sediment control will consist of maintaining the ef-factiveness 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 acti.ons 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 k-findings are to be reported to' DOE-CRBAP pr.omotly.

~~

In the, event that effluent concentrations exceed 50 mg/1, the contractor shall evaluate system performance to assure that the'

-system is operating as designed and that en-site controls are effective. Contractor shall take. appropriate corrective action

• r as required.

The water level in the runoff treatment ponds 'is to be controlled to-prevent them from overflowing. To accomplish this it may be necessary to pump water from one pond tn another that has sufficient capacity.

-The runoff treatment pond filters are to be maintained in good

' 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 Durino Site Redress The primary method for controlling erosion on the site is to be by diverting as much runoff as possible into the runoff treatment ponds to be filtered and dischargcd to the Clinch River. This is to be accomplished by maintaining the slopes of cut and fill arcas 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 drainage area for each of-the treatment pondt is:

Pond A 44 acres

. Pond B 34 acres b Pond C 48 acres -

Pcnd 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 accomplish this it will be necessary to have the capability of i pumping water from the overloaded ponds to the ponds with excess capacity. ,

Spoil areas and areas where large volumes

• of materials will be moved shall have barriers placed along the toe of the outer most slopes (where runoff flows toward the river), prior to start of earthwork until they are stabilized, well vegetated and erosion is 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 long 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 meni'tering recuirements of the Project's NPDES permit. An extract of the ce'rtinent requiremente is at Attachment 1. Sample analyses, re-r sults and inspection findings are to be reported to the DOE-CREEP l promptly. . . l In'the event that effluent concentration exceeds 50 mg/1, the contractor shall evaluate system performance to assure that the

- system is operating 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 fer.ces and others as required to minimize sediments reaching the Clinch River, t The runoff treatment pond filters are to be maintained in good

- working condition. In the event that siltation of the filters reduces flow-through below design capabilities, filters shall be cleaned in a manner approved by DOE-CRBRP.

Rainfall data representativecof:'tbe sitecshall be collected.

5.3 Other Water Quality Control- ,

There are two potential sources of water on the site: a w' ell at

_ , ... the Concrete Batch Plant Area and the Bear Creek Water Line. The i' 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.

L

'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-mediately inform the DOE-CRBRP.

~

6.0 AIR QUALITY CONTROL 6.1 Dust Control .

Water sprinkling of laydown, storage, and parking areas, unpaved

/ roads and other areas of the site is to be used to control dus'.

formation. This 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 designated. The area will be regularly inspected and any observed

• 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, and b'y limiting the distance from 4

I t1e river the trucks may approach, or by designating a different area.

Burning of waste materials consisting of wood products, trees and brush is permissible, within the limits-shown and the requirements specified in notes on drawing 12720-YSK-007-11 If any new air' contaminant sources are to be constructed on the

~

, site all required construction and operating air quality permits are to be obtained by the organization responsible.for the sources. '

7.0 LIQUID WASTE: CONTROL

~7.1 Oit Control  !

Equipment maintenance activities such as lubrication or equip-ment repair which could result in spills of oil or-grease shall be performed in an enclosed building if possible. In the event -

. ,it is not possible to conduct' equipment maintenance in an enclosed building oil sorbent materials shall be used to clean up any spills.

.- 011 contaminated materials shall be stored in metal containers and disposed of off-site in accordance with environmental regulations.

Materials shall be maintained for cleanup of oil spills on both land and in the river. All pumps shall have drip pans and an en-

. closure provided for protection from rainfall.

'k- '

Storage of fuel and oil shall be in a manner that provides containment of a spill and protection from surface runoff. If on-site oil ctorage facilities are developed with an underground -

capacity of more than 42,000 gallons, or an above ground capacity of more than 1,320 gallons with'any single container larger than 660 gallons'the requirements of 40 CRF112 for a Spill ?ranntion Control,and Countersmeasures Plan must be implemented, in the event that a spill of oil occurs, the following reporting actions are to be taken immediately: *

~

1. The DOE-CRBRP shall be notified imediately.

~

. 2. Notificatjonshallinclude:

o F

a Time and location of spill:

b Source and type of material spilled, c Estimated quantity of spill.

d Potential health or fire hazard.

. e Initial action taken for containment of spill.

3, The person notified in 1 above .shall imediately in-spect the reported spill and if appropriate report the information from 2 above to the following:

Duty Officer, National Response Center, U. S. Coast Guard 400 7th Street.S. W., ilashington, D. C. 20590 Telephone-(800) 424-E202

~ ^~

~

'c. The contractor responsible for the site will take it.ediate actions to contain the spill.

He will then determine to use either available construction forces or to contract a commercial t,

waste collector for cleanup of the spill.

l Mr. Jerry Wing.

Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project P. O. Ecx U Cak Ridge, TN 37830

Dear Mr. Wing:

Thank you for reviewing our staff en the site redress plans for the terminated Clinch River Ereeder Reacter Project. As was discussed at the February 24, 1984 meeting, our main concern with the site redress proposal is to insure that erodable materials and other potential contaminants for the abandoned site do not enter surface waters of the area. Since all the erosion control measures and sediment ponds are to remain functioning and in place we have no objecticns to leaving the site undisturbed until May 1985, as long as the following conditions are met:

1) .All surface run-off is to be directed through the sediment pond systems as presently established on the site.

2) All discharges from the sediment ponds must not exceed NPDES permit conditions as presently established.

3) All erosion control measures must be maintained to prevent erodable materials from entering surface streams from roadways on the project site.

If no suitable use is found for the project site by May 1985, and the final redress plan'is implemented, we feel that your proposed site stabilization plan is adequate to protect the surface waters of the

, area provided that the seeding of the area is successful. We request that.the Tennessee Division of Water Management be notified prior to

Director, Office of Breeder-Demonstration Projects Office of Nuclear Energy Department of Energy l Washington, D.C. 20545

Dear Mr. Gavigan:

Your letter of March 5,1984 provided the final CRBR site redrers plan for our. review and approval. The NRC staff has reviewed this plan, including as part of this review visits to the site on February 29, 1984 and April 24, 1984. . Based upon this review the staff finds your propose.1 course.of action environmentally acceptable. As part of implementing your plan;the following actions should also be taken:

1) At the time final disposition of the site is detennined (Spring 1985) the plans for the site should be reported to NRC along with its status at that time and the schedule for the final redress activities. If an alternate use for the site is found the redress plan should be revised as appropriate to reflect consideration of this alternate use and submitted to NRC.

2) -In performing the redress activities the topsoil stockpiled during

' site clearing should be used as much as possible to facilitate the regrowth of' vegetation. This is consistent with a previous comit-ment from the Department of Energy made pursuant to requesting an exemption which allowed early site preparation activities to begin (see letter G. L. Chipman, Jr. to NRC Comissioners, dated January 18, 1982.-Pgs. 82-88 of the attachment).

As stated in your March 5.1984 letter DOE is comitted to meeting the existing conditions of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and State of Tennessee effluent limitations for runoff treatment and overall site erosion control prior to and during site redress activities.

Compliance with these limitations will continue to be reported to the 4

United States Environmental Protection Agency and'the State of Tennessee.

Per discussions between the NRC staff and United States Environmental Protection Agency staff compliance with effluent and erosion control limits will be subject to monitoring by the United States Environmental

. Protection Agency Region IV. Accordingly, NRC will rely on the United States Environmental Protection Agency in this regard.

SUMMARY

AND' CONCLUSIONS ,

Th3 LC RBRP Redress. Planning Task Force conducted preliminary cvaluations of site.use and redress options and reached the following conclusions:

A,. -No specific near term use of the site was identified.

' General ~i~ndustrial development of the site is the use B.

most-likely to occur.

C L. Site redress activities should be designed to enhance potential development of the site for industrial use.

D. Completion of the previously ' designed' barge unloading facility, railroad spur, and sewage treatment pl. ants

. would not - be cost-ef fective at this time and should not be-included in the finab redress plan. s E. ~ Final redress plan development'and implement'ation should achieve an environmentally stable site which should not require further monitoring or site maintenance. .

F. DOE and TVA should continue to exchange information

< pertaining to specifics of the site redress plan to

. ensure that mutual interests are preserved.

G.. Conceptual alternative 2 is preferred.because it achieves the most favorable balance between construction costs and the potential for industrial development.while accomodating satisfactory compliance with NRC

• requirements.

lTo assist in developing the site redress plan, the DOE CRBRP JProject- Director established a joint DOE, TVA, PMC Redress Planning Task Force. The objectives of this joint task force are tos - , .

A.- develop site redress planning concepts that comply fully with_NRC requirements and', as determined by DOE and TVA,_taking into account the site's potential for industrial use; ,

B.. develop site redress planning concepts that-achieve 4

an appropriate balance between maintaining the site in an environmentally acceptable condition and that maximize-development parameters that increase the

• feasibility of generic types of industrial uses; C. ' identify facility _ concepts, if any, feasible in the near term, and to identify specific redress activities

-which may.be compatible-with such possible use; and v

>^ D. present the two or three most realizable alternatives at a joint DOE /TVA meeting and recommend a preferred conceptual' alternative to be included in the '

development of-the final site redress plan.

i _ , - 2. 0 ' SITE HISTORY'AND DESCRIPTION ,

2.1 site _Mistory The CRBRP site is located on a peninsula formed by the Clinch

~ River approximately two miles upstream of the Highwav 58 crossing of the river (Gallaher Bridge) in Roane County. The site is on a

?l,346-acre tract of land owned by the Federal Government in the r

l- ' custody of TVA. The site area is typical East Tennessee ridges and valleys.- TVA granted a right bf entry in August 1982 to ,,

' DOE-CRBRP to about 600 acres of the tract to begin site

> preparation activities authorized by the Nuclear Regulary Ccamission (NRC) .

The; Constructor for the CRBRP, Stone & Webster Engineering

~ Corporation (SWEC),. started site preparation and excavation work l

-in September 1982. Work authorized by the NRC included: .

. N n-cafety related permsnsnt . improvements including a site access road, railroad. spur to site, barge unloading f acili,ty, sewage, treatment plant, and water line Construction support facilities including roads, parking areas, quarry, buildings, fire protection system, electric power,. concrete batch plant.

Sito preparation and excavation and the start of the construction cupport facilities was curtailed on October 28, 1983. During the thirteen months of work, the following was accomplished:-

. About 240 acres of the site was cleared and grubbed. This includes not only the main plant area and contiguous lay 6own areas but also the access road, areas for spoil and a portion of the remote quarry area.

. About 1.5 million cubic yards of overb'urden was excavated.

The overburden, a cohesive soil, was placed in st.ructural fill, designated random fill, or was spoiled due to -

organic content, high mois,ture content or other unsuitabl-e conditions. ,

. About 1.5'million cubic yards of rock was 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 limestonc aggregate was placed on the access road to provide an all-weather surface for continuing access to the site. The on-site portion of the railroad embankment, contiguous to the access road, was

• completed.

.- An eight-inch water line from DOE's Bear Creek Filtration Plant off-site'was completed td road station 50+00 (approximately 6450 feet). , .

. A construction power substation was completed by TVA.

taking power from the Ft. Loudoun-K31 161 KV transmission line and providing 25 KVA of 13.8 KV power. SWEC ,

completed approximately 2,000 feet of underground

,. distribution to two construction substations.

. Four pre-engineered metal buildings from 4,000-5,000 square feet were erected.

A concrete ringer crane pad, appoximately 80 feet by 80 feet, was constructed on the east side of the NI s

excavation at elevation 814.

. A dual concreto batch plent c2pable of producing 250 cubic yards per hour was erected and put into operation.

. The authorized site preparation activities not initiated were d3ferred because of limited funding.

2.2 Site Descriction Tha site consists of an all-weather access road of approximately l 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) 1 Plant and laydown areas at average elevation of 810 -(20 acres) -

i Other level areas et lower elevations (l'0 acres)

. Within and contiguous to the plant area are the Nuclear Island (NI) excavation, the norma'l cooling tower (NCT) excavation and the emergency cooling tower (ECT) excavation which,.with their cide slopes projected to plant area elevations of 810, total 24 ccres, see attached Sketch 1.

Non-topographic features of the site, besides the all-weather eccess road, include the 8-inch watet line to road station 50+00,

, approximately 2000 feet of underground power distribution, four prc-engineered metal buildings, concrete batch plant, constr.uc-tion power substation, and the concrete ringer crane pad.

L_0__ INVIRO".V,*'NTAL AND REGULATORY REOUlBI231LS

. 3.1 DOE co mitte6 To Redress The Site. -

On November 30, 1981, the Applicants (DOE, PMC and TVA) submitted a request to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for Guthorization under 10 CFR 50.12 to conduct site preparation Getivities prior to issuance of a Limited Work Authorization. In rOCponse to questions contained in a NRC Commission Order of December 24, 1981, the Applicants committed to redress impacts -

roculting f rom site preparation if' a construction permit was not .

grcnted (reference 1, p.11,12) . The applicants redress plan contemplated backfilling and compacting the excavations for p2rmanent plant facilities and other depressions within the ccnstruction area (ref. 1, p. 81-83). Grading to facilitate drainage would leave the site in a condition most compatible with intended future industrial development whereas redress of the Dite to its original contours (full redress) would be incon-Distent with future industrial use (ref. 1, pg. 84).

l

g. ,' .

4 L*Th5?C mmission's authorization acknowledged the Applicants' and LSteff'a etntsmento that the~ cite could ba-cubstantially returned to its original. condition, but-that the site is zoned for

• industrial.use and' full, redress may not be necessary to minimize cnvironmental impact (reference 2, p. 20,21) . '

'Tha Applicants have co'mmitted to develop an appropriate plan for cito~ redress and seek' review and approval'from the NRC Staff

-(ref. 3, p.6). Furthermore,-the Applicants would not object to

-ths Atomic Saf ety . and Licensing Board (ASLB) formalizing such an obligation in' an ASLB Order. It is DOE's intent to satisfy the

.canditions of the' Licensing Agreement (ref. 4, p. 4, par. 5)

- b2 tween TVA and DOE which require that the CRBRP site be cppropriately restored.

3.2'- ~Apolicable Permit and Reculatory Aporovals Tha CRBRP Project Office developed a matrix to identify all ,

, :non-NRC permits and approvals in effect at the time of t3rmination (Appendix A) . Four-permits and approvals will be ,

maintained in an active status during the site redre.ss phase.

.These~ permits and approvals will be-terminated in accordance with

-ths schedule.indidated on the permit and approval matrix. The

. permits and approvals which will be required during site redress cre listed below.

. US EPA NPDES permit -

authorization to discharge No. TN 0028801~ into' the waters of the U.S.

. Federal Aviation -

Permit for structures over 200 Acministration feet

.. . Federal. Communications - Frequency authorization f or Commission construction phase radios -

. State of Tennessee -

CWA Section 401 Certification of the NPDES permit e

l .

The proposed permit and approval plan (Appendix A) is contingent -

upon securing approval from the appropriate regulatory agency.

Site redress evaluation further assumes that there will be no

'cignificant adverse impact upon: 1) archaeological and historical.significant areas; 2) flood plains or wetlands; 3) rcre'or unusual species; 4) navigable waters; 5) air quality; and

6) easements controlled by other agencies.

Tha permit and approval matrix provides a schedule for termi-

-nating the permits and approvals which will not be required for -

"cito redress. .

3.3: NRC Environmental Measures and Controls I

Thf NRC. environmental requirements during CRBRP Plant 4*1 construction are contained in NURG-0139 " Supplement to Final Environmental Statement" (SFES) (ref. 5). The environmental LCantrol-measures contained-in the SFES primarily restate criteria

contained in'non-NRC permits and approvals identified in Appen-dix A. Specific NRC criteria contained in the SFES Section 4.6.1.1 which address additional conditions which could be .

' LA subgroup of the CRBRP Site Redress Task Force investigated numerous potential uses for the site. The goal of the subgroup wes'to provide information regarding future uses which could

< influence .the site redress plan. Near term uses which could use come or all of the current excavation were considered, but none vare identified as likely in the near future. Redress options *

. ahould not preclude the identified uses in the' future. Other

-= pacific-. alternative uses assumed filling in the major NI l- ' excavation but were not based on any specific redress options L cuch as grading elevations, etc. Again, no near term uses were L identified. The following lists were compiled based on limited '

l d2ta: regarding the_possiblity of relocating a planned project (e.g. coal gasification) or matching a potential project to_the Bit @, (e.'g, a DOE experimental reactor) .

Although.anyLone of the specific uses listed above could emerge in:the future, it is the consensus of the Task Force that g2ntralized industrial development is considered the type of use tsat likely to occur in the. future. .

5.0 SITE REDRESS ALTERNATIVES w , -.

E  %.

5.1 -General _ _ _

A2-noted earlier, redress of the site is an obligation of the -

Project. As a minimum, the site must be reconfigured and other-wis2 redressed to. provide an environmentally stable, calf-draining, self-maintaining and aesthetically acceptable site that can be left unattended. -

R2 dress alternatives _ considered .two general categories:

. Topographic approaches which accomplish the minimum

. requirements noted above and which maintain the potential l' of the site for future idustrial use. *

. Completion or addition of site development features such l

as a railroad spur, a barge facility, sewage treatment plant, or'a. water line~to ensufe the value of the site for potential industrial uses. -

'5.2 common criteria to All Alternatives -

In addressing various alternatives, the following criteria were gaeumed to apply:-

. Excavations will.be filled at least to minimum elevations sufficient to provide self-drainage to the Clinch River.

. No area ou: side the present cleared area will be .

disturbed.- -

L ,

. ,1. . l 3 I (

~

. . ' Borrow materials to ba used in backfilling excavations and topographic reconfigurctions will be taken from locations on the site which are within the present cleared area.

. Theareaident'ifiedonplantconsbructiondrawingsasthe

-Craft Parking Lot, about 14 acres, with an average elevation of 836 will remain "as is". About 80% of the.

.. area is underlain with rock and there is no justification for removing the rock to the general plant elevation of

-810.

. Pre-engineered metal buildings and the dual batch plant will be removed while the substation will be de-energized.

5.3 Concectual Redress Alternatives

' Two conceptual schemes for accomplishing redress of the CRBRP Site were considered which would leave the site in a configu-

. ration environmentally stable and suitable for industrial use.

'The major cost item' included in each alternative was excavation

, work. .

Tha.tvo alternative approaches for site redress which appear most

.fonsible for further refinement and assessments are: .

. Alternate 1 - Backfill the NI excavation, the NCT L

excavation and trench and the ECT excavation to the f.

general plant grade of 810. Material to fill excavations would be borrowed from Spoil Areas 2, 3 and 6, the East L

Laydown Area, the CBI Area, and the South Plant Area. This would provide a site with two major useable areas - the Craft Parking Lot (14 acres) and the general plant area at an average elevation of 810 (47 acres). See Sketch 2.

. . Alternate 2 - Backfill the NI excavation, the NCT excavation and trench and the ECT excavation to about

. elevation 780. from the excavations in a, Establish a drainage plant south direction" spine" to the Clinch River. Material would be borrowed from Spoil Areas 2, 3 and 6, the East Laydown- Area and the CBI Area. This would provide a site with three major useable areas - the._ Craft

Parking Lot (14 acres), the West Area (29 acres) and the East Area (25 acres). The excavation and redress ,

l . . activities would result in a perimeter road along the l north side of the plant area which would provide L additional access to the lower portion of the peninsula.

The Bear Creek Water line wo'uld be completed from the present terminus of road station 50+00 to 71+30. See Sketch 3.

( (

Soi Advanteces and Disadvantages of Alternatives Tha principal advantage of Alternate 1 is that it'provides the

' coat flexibility for future use. Except for the Craft Parking 12t, the site is lef t at one general elevation, about 810.

Tha disadvantages of A1 ternate 1 are the higher cost and longer c::nstruction schedule and less net useable acreage for industrial uJo. To backfill the excavations with material to support industrial structures will require borrowing from and eliminating

-coma 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 55.8 million. Optimistically, this work might be completed in seven 1Conths. However, the schedule is sensitive to the final datormination of the stability required in the excavation backfills.

Tha principal advantage of Alternate 2, other than lower' cost and cch;dule considerations, is thatsit provides the most net -.

uraeble, stabilized area to support industrial struc,tures. ~ Since tha excavations will be part of a drainage " spine", requirements

~

.for backfill wil1 Be smaller than in alternative 1 and material can be borrowed from spoil areas and other non-stabilized areas.

In cddition, 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 tha site for industrial purposes.

Tha disadvantage of Alternate 2 is the less flexible site

topography. The reconfigured site will have three areas - the Creft Parking Lot (14 a'cres), a West Area (29 acres), and an East Arco (25 acres). This will not provide as much flexibility in

• locating future roads and railroad spurs.

, A preliminary estimate for Alternate 2 indicates that about 750

• thousand cubic yards of material may have to be moved at a cost Cf S3.3 million with about S76,000 additional dollars necessary to complete the water line. A schedule of six months for accom-

! Plichment should be readily achievable. -

3.5 Conpletion or Addition of Non-ToDooraphic Features

, Tha completion of the following non-topographic improvements l .which were planned, designed, and approved for construction by URC in the authorization permit, were not completed during site preparation. They would, if completed, enhance the value of the Cito for future use, but were rejected from consideration during rodress due to the extreme high cost for the derived benefit cost and the negative effect on the redress construction schedule completion date of November 1984.

The sew'ge a 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.'

1Tha addition of the following improvements would enhance the value of the site for industrial use.

Construction ~of a railroad spur to the site outside 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 Bighway 95 and the intersection of Bethel Valley Road which serves the National Laboratory. This would provide a more directLroute to the Pellissippi Parkway and to East I-40 via Route 95. This would be a major and costly construction task.

' Eon 2 of the additional improvements considered in this subsection wore incorporated into either alternative due to their high cost, potential environmental impacts, and negative effect on the -

rodress-construction schedule. ,

L6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS lThe CRBRP Project Redress Planning Task Force recommends _that '

( canceptual Alternative 2 be considered for further_ development l .and be implemented in the Project's Site Redress Plan. This l conceptual alternative is considerably less expensive than ..

LAlternative 1, complies with all NRC requirements, and accounts i for the site's potential for industrial use.
