Y-12 RCRA closure initiation projects: Revised final environmental assessment
The program that addresses all remedial action work at the plant is the Y-12 Remedial Action Program (RAP). A major subproject within this program is the Closure and Post-Closure Activities (CAPCA) Project. This project encompasses the RCRA mandated closures and associated post-closure monitoring and/or remediation of eight hazardous waste land disposal based units at the Plant. The closure plans for seven of the eight units have been approved by the TDHE. These include the two Oil Retentioin Ponds, Chestnut Ridge Security Pits, S-3 Ponds, Oil Landfarm, the Bear Creek Burial Grounds, New Hope Pond, and the Chestnut Ridge Sediment Disposal Basin. The environmental impact of the closure of these sites, the construction of a replacement facility for New Hope Pond, and the opening of two borrow areas to support these closures will be assessed in this document. To the extent possible, the cumulative effects of closing these sites in a compressed time frame are considered. Once the closure plan for the remaining unit (Kerr Hollow Quarry) is available, an addendum to this document will be issued, and the associated environmental effects will be assessed. 35 refs., 18 figs., 13 tabs.
