1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Desed ocion of the Installation On October 1, 1980. Public Law 96 368, the est Valley Demonstration Act, (WDPA) Exhibit 11.1 went into effe This Act directed the Secretary of Energy to carry out a his el radioactive waste rn New York Nuclear management demonstration project at Service Center (WNYNSC) located in_Gsttarau_

County, near West i

Valley, New York. The WNYNSC is, sir 6ed by th NteofNewYorkand j

is administered by the New YorkJtate Beergy Research and l

Development Authority (NYSERDAhh

$ racted by the Act, the i

Department of Energy (DOE) and negotiated and signed a Cooperative Agreement, ra#pg September 18, 1981, defining the interface protocol and!r.gnce 1 1ehponsib ies for each orgar.ization

]

rtion of WNYNSC that became with respect to the operatte,n of ess, (WDP).

f the West Valley Demonstratiem7toject DOE also signed a Memorandum of Und,'petsinding MOU), reference 12.1, with the Nuclear i

Regulatory Commuseion CER,C) to octablish the necessary interface reviews and co re ui ed by the WDP Act.

When the phamatwas it in the early 1960s, the method of high-level radioacti n 11 d management practiced at federal 1

insta131tions was%ndeir' ground storage in steel tanks.

Following f

this preeedent, thE Center was licensed to operate with the i

expectatiea' gthat,,the high level radioactive liquid wastes generated during fuelism cessing would be stored underground in steel tanks.

The plant was in operation from 1966 to 1972 and generated j

approximately 600,000 gallons of highly radioactive ifquid waste 1

during that time. This waste is stored in two underground tanks at the site.

The site contains solid radioactive waste interred in two burial areas and 125 irradiated fuel elements contained in a water-filled storage pool.

At the present time, all of the wastes are being stored safely and the plant facilities are being maintained in a safe condition.

The purpose and scope of the West Valley Demonstration Project (WDP) Site Specific Plan is to provide a more detailed explanation of how the West Valley Demonstration Project will be planning and implementing the specific activities of the Project that are identified in a summary asnner in the Five Year Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Plan while continuing in compliance 1-LEW0165

level waste (HLW) supernatant is currently in progress and the process equipment for vitrifying the HLW is being tested.

On December 30, 1988 DOE published a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for post solidification activities (53 Fed. Reg. 530.52). This EIS will provide environmental information for consideration in federal and state decision making related to project completion activities and cic,sure o he WNYNSC Data l

2.0 REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPLEMENTATION 1

2.1 Regulatory Interfaces

~

The WVDP, is structured to include extensive degree of outside agency involvement and oversight. This involvement continues to evolve as both the Project and the general regulatory structure mature.. Recently, with the initiation of Phase II Post J

Solidification planning, the pace of this activity has increased.

Phases I and II are referred to throughout this document.

This segmentation of the project is a management tool for describing activities through the solidification of the HLW and the activities associated with the closure of the site aft r the HLW s

solidification.

Examples of this are:

i (1)

Phase I - The processing of th High-Level Waste (HLW), solidification of the slu development of the glass containers, and deco ination Jexisting facilities required to support the dif tion activities. Phase I also includes transurani level waste management, facility _ operation and mai nee.

(To provide a logical, smooth transition ase_

st Solidification, site characterization a al tagic planning documentation have already begun '. P (2)

Phase II -

Solid cation - includes activities associa ich l0canspist of HLW canisters to a federal repositM di potebof 9 Project 14w-14 vel Waste (LLW) and Transurani J) Wa'$UA, and decontamination and decamp $ssi (D&D) of Projact equipment, tanks, harderre and'fac'114 tie ed in the solidification process.

Four levels of interface a'r$ht ffect, and are described in the following sections.

2.1.1 Project Participants j.

The West Valley Demonstration Project Act defines both the Department of Energy and the State of New York as participants in the Project.

Two key features of the participation are:

- A 90/10 (Federal / State) cost-sharing agreement in effect for the Project work, and; i

- Title to the Center and the wastes located there in remain

. ith the state. Operational responsibility for the Project w

' Promises-(a smaller area within the Center) rests with the E

DOE.

DOE and NYSERDA have agreed to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Post Solidification activities and closure of WNYNSC.

Because the scope of the post solidification and total site closure activities extends beyond the mandates of'the Act, the cost sharing for EIS preparation and related activities will be prorated to reflect the differences in responsibilities for the WDP and NYSERDA.

Formalization of this DOE /NYSERDA agreement including cost sharing details is e cted within FY90.

The specifics of the formal rela hip between the two agencies are detailed in the C ve Agreement', reference 12.4 The practical means f nte be: ween the Project participants is the Project <

'1 3'.1. Organization l

The ' organizational structure and relationships for the WDP are shown in exhibit 11.2, a through d.

The Director of the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management has been delegated project management authority.

This Office has delegated management authority to the Assistant Director for Waste Operations who is

'i responsible.for all DOE facilities, radioactive, hazardous, mixed and sanitary waste materials that have been properly characterized, packaged, and labeled, but are not used for production.

The Office i

of Waste Operations Division, which reports to the Assistant Director, is responsible for programs and a tivities involving Waste i

_ Management at DOE sites, including trea

, storage, transportation, and disposal of high lo transuranic and low-l 1evel radioactive waste; hazardous wa.

ed radioactive and

The DOS establish a prime contract for overall management of the WDP. W6stinghousE] Electric Corporation (WEC) established the West Valley Nuhlaar Se ces Company, Inc. (WNS) to provide focus for l

carryingodQth tivities relative to the successful attainment of the WDP goalli As the operating contractor, WNS has the responsibility for WDP management and integration, conceptual I

design and engineering management, construction management, and decontamination and site / facility operation. WNS, within its authority, has subcontracted portions of the work to Dames & Moore -

Environmental Services, EBASCO - Architect Engineer, and Burke Security.

In addition, WNS has working technical support and interfaces with a number of the national laboratories.

1 I!

As the operating contractor, WNS has the responsibility for implementation and intagration of the applicable codes and regulations issued for environmental compliance and responsibility I

l.

to ensure compliance within WNS and its contractors at WDP.

WNS,

I through its Radiological and Environmental Safety Department, monitors conipliance at WDP.

This department issues a monthly report to the WNS9 president, who in turn issues a monthly status report to the WPO.

Both the monthly report, internal to WNS, and the monthly status report issued to WPO discuss accomplishments, l

assessments, actions, and unusual occurrences.

The implementation of codes, and regulatory requirements is the responsibility of-the initiating department within WNS (i.e., Plant Operations, Plant' Services etc.) or the subcontractor. The Radiological and Environmental Safety Department monitors and overviews the i

implementation for compliance of applicable regulatory requirements.

3.2 Manazement The on site responsibilities for management of the WDP environmental protection rest with the Department of Energy (DOE)

West Valley Project Office (WPO).

The operational contractor, West Valley Nuclear Services Company, Inc. (WNS) is responsible for i

implementation of. DOE guidance. This autho ty includes the development of programs for appropriate onnental control and monitoring activities, and ensuring co ce with these applicable legal requirements issued for enviro rotection.

The specific responsibilities wit these organizational structures that address environmental proteqp: ion agtivitiekfat the WDP fall into two major categories: ope 1.onpontrolsandcompliance,and effluent and environmental survet -

The majority of the analyses are performed on site for radiological and basic water quality measurements, however, those analyses requiring highly specialized processing which are analyzed infrequently are measured at prequalified off-site laboratories, reference section 2.1.7.6 and 9.2.

Monitoring results are compared to the, regulatory requirements, and necessary reporting and notification initiated by the WNS R&ES group.

6.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS 6.1 Task Description The West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) is being conducted in two phases.

Phase I, currently under way, includes processing the liquid high level waste (HLW), solidification of the HLW sludge, development of the glass containers, and decontamination of existing facilities required to support the solidification activities.

Phase.

1 I activities will be completed by F"Y 1995.

Phase II includes

. activities associated with transport of HLW canisters to a federal repository,' disposal of Project low-level waste (LLW) and.

transuranic (TRU)' waste, and decontamination and decommissioning 1

(D&D) of facilities used in the solidification process. To provide a logical,' smooth transition to Phase II, to characterization and initial Phase II strategic planning doc tation have already begun in Phase I.

An Environmental Impact nt (EIS) for site s

i closure is being prepared. A grap

'epre cation of Phase.I and Phase II activities is on the foi ng page At West Valley, most of the vo of q id HLW is supernatant liquid stored in an underground

. tank (tank 8D-2).

During Phase I, the supernatant is. being l ntaminated, concentrated and processed into cement th i fan Int ted Radwaste Treatment o

our subsystems:

the System (IRTS). TheIRTSigmade Supernatant Treatment Systeei gTS),% quid Waste Treatment System 1

(LWTS); Cement SolidR&catio(System (CSS); and Drum Cell.

These subsystems compr&M th 1.ow Imyel Waste Processing Cycle.

then ve Mme raddosd b ihvaporation and concentrated in the LWTS, encapsul'eced intoM ement at the CSS, and stored in the Drum Cell.

The Drum % 11 is $flarge shielded structure designed to store 15,000 l

268 litre 'd cement from the CSS.

After the Drum Cell is filled, th'e stored LLW may be removed for disposal or the building may be dismantled and the shielded structure converted into an above ground tumulus for final disposal. A decision on final disposal of LLW will be made after completion of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Post Solidification Phase II of the WVDP.

During Phase I, the sludge from the bottom of the supernatant tank, along with the cesium-loaded zeolite and THOREX waste from tank 8D-4 will be mixed by the Sludge Mobilization System (SKS) and transferred to the Vitrification Facility. The HLW will then be combined with glass formers, melted to produce borosilicate glass, the final solidified waste form, and poured into stainless-steel canisters. The canisters will be stored on-site until a federal repository is ready to accept them. These activities comprise the High Level Vaste Processing Cycle.

The major waste streams that exist at the WDP include Class A, B and C LLW, Transuranic (TRU) waste, hazardous and mixed waste materials, and byproduct solid wastes from the Low Level Waste Treatment Facility (LLWTF).

The Class A, B and C waste streams, identified above, are the classification defined by the NRC.

Class l

A waste, the least contaminated, is being stored in on-site storage buildings. A recommendation for disposal of these wastes has been 3

made and is being considered.. Class B/C wastes are stored in steel d

' boxes and hi h-integrity containers on-site.

Processed wastes from S

the IRTS are defined as Class C, and are stored in the on site Drum i

cell. Transuranic wastes resulting from past decontamination activities at the WDP are also stored on site; no such activities are currently being performed on the Project. Hazardous waste i

materials resulting from on site operations are being packaged and disposed off-site in compliance with Res e Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations. Mixe tes are also being stored on site pending a' decision on disposa ese materials.

Drums of byproduct solid wastes from the whi rests wastes resulting i

~a 7,0 COMPLIANCE WITH NEPA The requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) apply to the DOE activities at the WDP. They are reinforced and given a further

' site specific perspective by virtue of several additional factors:

The requirement to undertake environmental analyses is reiterated in the West Valley Demonstration Project Act (WDPA).

l DOE /EIS-0081, which provided the NEPA review for Phase I activities.

met the requirement of NEPA and the WDPA, and committed the Department to follow-on environmental reviews for low-level waste disposal and final decontamination and decommissioning of the Proj ect; New York State has its own State Enviro tal Quality Review Act (SEQRA) which requires state agencies s NYSERDA and NYSDEC) to evaluate their proposed actions much

,same way as NEPA' applies to DOE activities.

71 RCRA and CERCIA Actions Under '

rda The WDP has taken the ne9ess ac to maintain in compliance with RCRA and'related DOE W d

etives. The complexities and importance of these eff'$rts c're the need for a smoothly functioning program j eguistary raction.

See section 2.1.5

" Status of Interagsgpey reements" page 9 for details regarding this subject. The quasifion iemasin5 as to whether Stste Superfund, RCRA,

.andComprehensi%Env

~ ] Response, Compensational and Liability Act (C or some combination thereof is the most appropri M

r..

e statutory authority / program for the WDP.

As indissted in s~ectio

'2.0, the WDP is developing / revising plans and proi$sures to h aain to complement DOE order requirements.

Detailed diiscussioM on specific implementation of the 5400 series orders, incl af5400.XXiscontainedinsections2.1.6and2.1.7.

7.2 Other Actions Relative to NEPA The Record of Decision in the Federal Register, (47 Fed. Reg.

t 40705), September 15, 1982 was based on the Final Environment Impact Statement, (DOE /EIS-0081) to ensure compliance with the regulations and to re-examine the decisions made.

The activities related to post solidification tasks, not encompassed in the DOE /EIS 0081 are included in the DOE published Notice of Intent (NOI) on December 30, 1988 (53 Fed. Reg. 530.52). This will provide environmental information for consideration in Federal and State decision making related to project completion.

Data collection for this EIS is in progress and the long range planning in accordance with the requirements is underway.

Currently, NEPA is playing an important role at the WDP. On December 30, 1988 the DOE and NYSERDA announced their intent to prepare a joint EIS for site closure of the WDP and closure of the WNYNSC.

The scoping period following this NOI lasted until February 23, 1989, and included two sessions 1.EW0165 -

ik WDPa078 R,v. 0

[;.f 4 :

E for public scoping meetings and a myriad of other public information activities.

Barring any unforeseen change of plans, all the major Projects related decisions yet to be made, will fall within the scope of this upcoming EIS.

DOE is now reviewing the EIS

- Implementation Plan.

This plan presents the issues which were identified during the scoping process and outlines a program to address them.

In parallel with the Departments review of this plan, the contractor has initiated the site and facility studies that will provide the technical bases for the EIS analyses and subsequent

Consistent with the DOE 5484.1, 5000.3,'and 5500 series orders, the WPO reports all significant nonroutine releases of any pollutant or l

L hazardous substance to the DOE ID Nuclear Programs Office, DOE Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the DOE ID Warning Communication Center (WCC), and the EPA, New York State, and local Cattaraugus and Erie County emergency response units as required by the nature of, the release. Airborne radioactive materials releases a1Lso require NRC notification.

The notification tree is outlined in the WDP Emergency Procedures Manual, WDP-022, reference 12.16.

Discovery of a reportable condition is immediately communicated through the on-duty Shift

.Npervisor and Operations Manager to the Site Emergency Director.

8.4 Environmental Occurrences Identificttion by Trend Analysis The discovery of an environmental occurrence can result from a routine environmental monitoring program trend analysis (reference Section 2.0).

Operating procedures identify specific notification and verification steps for data sets which may indicate releases above permitted levels. These incidents would be_ detected through j

weekly analysis and review of effluent data, and the monthly.overall trend review.done by the S&EA group. Noti ation to the WPO would in this case be ' through the WNS R&ES De nt and WNS management.

Narrative:

The West Valley Demonstration Project (WV0P) is being conducted at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center (WNYNSC or Center) per public law 96-368 which directs the Department to conduct a High Level Wasta (HLW)

Management Operation to immobilize the 600,000 gallons of HLW.

This activity is managed by the Department of Energy's (00E) Idaho Operations Office (IO) in conjunction with the New York state Energy Research and l

Development Authority (NY SERDA) under a 90/10 cost sharing arrangement based in a Cooperation Agreement between 00E and New York State (1982). The current WV0P target for FY 1991 is $57.4M, compared to the Program Planning Predecisienal t

Drivine Ferce:

(continued)

Imeaet of Delav: Overall Project cost is driven by need to obtain records to complete critical construction activities (

70M) while providing for, site upkeep, and operations.

Therefore, delays result in significant cost increases when outyear budget profiles are reduced and funds to complete construction are not available.

The HLW at the Center is contained in carbon steel tanks which will approach half of the designed life if the Project is completed as currently scheduled.

Project delay will encroach further on this relatively modest margin of safety.

The existing radioactive waste disposal facilities inherited with the site have a well documented histor erformance problems which have yet to be permanently addressed an be. expected to worsen with time.

LLW generated by the W 1980 has been stored in temporary structures at the site.

If,t Pr t is subjected to additional delays, additional wastes wilt,h l

be accumah ted and accessible l

to natural threats for a longer periofof tig'e.

Ths? opportunity to continue a positive demortstration of%sa Departmental waste solidification activity would be prec1 '

Inst investment has been made in i

facilities to process HijMV Funding consistent with the above profile will allow compleien,oMtse HLW solidification by April 1995.

Failure to provide resources'will' result in a schedule and cost increase.

The Project is jirogressinglorward with RCRA permitting relative to site operations andMs developing its plans for CERCLA-like activities l

(comparable to'ea RI/78) in conjunction with the Phase 11 planning and s

NEPA compliance actiidties.

The basis for cost estimates varies 1

according to the nat'ure of the work; 1.

HLW/LLW Management Operations estimates are based on operating systems.

HLW Management Operations is based on full scale l

non-radioactive prototypic operations.

Processing will include I

600,000 gallons HLW, resulting in 15,000 LLW cement drums and 300 HLW borosilicate glass logs.

2.

Research and Technology Development estimates re based upon current experience which includes full scale non-radioactive operation which hH produced in excess of'90,000 kg of borosilicate glass and the NRC certified LLW form. Glass and

' process development is to meet OCRWM and NRC ' requirements and is ongoing at three (3) universities and one national lab consistent'with work at SR.
