Dr. William Rogers X

2. UCOR Scope of Work on the Oak Ridge Reservation

3. UCOR Scope of Work
Perform D&D and remediation activities across the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR)
Manage the ORR Landfill and the Environmental Management Waste Management Facility (EMWMF)
Manage the Water Resource Recovery Program (WRRP)
Manage the Liquid Gaseous Waste Operations (LGWO) facility
Perform Environmental Compliance Monitoring
Waste management and disposition
Design of the Mercury Treatment Facility at Y-12
Design new onsite DOE Environmental Management Disposal Facility (EMDF)

4. D&D Activities at ETTP Current ETTP D&D Activities
Poplar Creek Facilities
Multiple small facilities at ETTP
K-731
Central Neutralization Facility (CNF)
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Incinerator
Planned Activities
Biology Building at Y-12
Centrifuge Facilities
K-1200 Complex
Excess facilities at ETTP, Y-12, and ORNL .

5. D&D Sampling and Analysis
Poplar Creek High Risk Facilities characterization is nearing completion
TSCA incinerator characterization is underway
CNF characterization is underway
Other facilities are being shifted to UCOR scope as current projects are completed (excess facilities)
3400 analyses performed in FY16
Total cost for analytical services ~$510K

6. Landfill Operations
Environmental Management Waste Management Facility (EMWMF)
CERCLA waste associated with the ORR
Must meet WAC requirements
Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) Landfill – (formerly the Y-12 Sanitary Landfill)
Disposal of sanitary, industrial, construction, and demolition waste

7. EMWMF and ORR Landfill Sampling and Analysis
Sample Locations
Monitoring wells
Contact Water
Leachate
Air Sampling
Number of analyses per year is relatively constant
Weekly, Quarterly, Semi-annual, Rainfall event driven (EMWMF)
Dynamic analytical suite for the EMWMF
Less rainfall in FY16 impacted total number of samples
5600 analyses performed in FY16
Total cost for analytical services $740K

8. Water Quality and Environmental Compliance

9. Water Quality and Environmental Compliance Sampling and Analysis
Samples
Groundwater
Surface Water
Outfalls
Runoff
Air Monitoring
Annual sampling for Water Quality is relatively constant
Environmental Compliance varies some, but overall is constant
14,400 analyses performed in FY16
Total cost for analytical services $1M

10. Waste Management and Disposition
UCOR continues the proactive approach of characterizing and dispositioning waste as it is generated
All known legacy waste has been dispositioned
400 analyses performed on waste materials in FY16
Total cost for analytical services $55K

11. Remedial Actions
Remedial action (RA) characterization is necessary to demonstrate cleanup levels have been achieved or to identify areas which require further actions to comply with regulatory commitments
Some areas may require lower reporting levels depending on final disposition of parcel
RA analytical support was expected to increase two-fold in FY16
The actual increase was almost 16-fold as work was pulled forward in the schedule
RA support over the last few fiscal years:
FY14 ~$10K
FY15 ~$55K
FY16 $870K
FY17 will likely see an additional 15-20% increase

12. Bioassay and Industrial Hygiene
Bioassay Program
500 analyses in FY16
$68K
Up slightly from FY15
FY 2017 is expected to remain relatively constant
Industrial Hygiene Program
5200 analyses in FY16
$600K
Significant increase over FY15 levels due to increased scope
Expected to remain at ~FY16 levels through 2017

15. Analytical Support Summary
Analytical laboratories performed over 36,000 analyses in support of UCOR projects in FY 2016.
The total cost for analytical services in FY 2016 was ~$3.6M
FY 2017 analytical support is expected to increase ~10-15%
Accelerated D&D characterization
Potential for excess facilities to be added to D&D scope
Expected increase in remedial action characterization
Landfill, Water Quality, and Environmental Compliance Program needs are expected to remain relatively constant
Analytical needs for waste characterization associated with the Waste Disposition Program will continue to decrease
Bioassay requirements are expected to remain at FY16 levels
Industrial Hygiene sampling is expected to stabilize at FY16 levels

16. UCOR Oak Ridge Sample Management Office DOECAP Qualified Auditors
Laboratory
1 -Team Lead
4 - Contractor Auditors (Quality Assurance; Organic; Inorganic; Radiochemistry; LIMS; and Hazardous and Radioactive Materials Management and Health and Safety Practices
SMO provided auditors for 27 modules in 2016
TSDF
1-Team Lead
2-Contractor Auditors (Sampling and Analytical Data Quality and Industrial and Chemical Safety)
SMO provided auditors for one module in 2016

17. ETTP FY16 D&D Summary K-27 demolition was completed August 30, 2016.
Characterization of Poplar Creek Facilities is nearing completion
Characterization of CNF and TSCAI are underway
Remediation of 3042 reactor at ORNL

18. K-27 Demolition The final wall of K-27 came down on August 30, 2016.
K-27 was the last of the five gaseous diffusion facilities at the ETTP site.
This historic achievement marks the first ever complete cleanup of a gaseous diffusion complex
Brings DOE one step closer to its goal of transforming ETTP into a private sector industrial park.
