Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site
Industrial Zone Closure Project
Maximum Public, Worker, and Environmental Risks in the year 2007 and beyond:
| Public: Low
| Worker: Medium
| Environment: Medium
|
Technical Approach Provided by Project Manager:
There is no technical development process at the Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site to develop new ways or methodology of operating facilities, removing hazardous materials, facility deactivation, decommissioning, or closure activities. This type of work will be monitored at other facilities across the weapons complex and in private enterprise for any new technologies that may become available. The new technologies would be evaluated for use at Rocky Flats as they may apply to upgrading or reducing the cost of the baseline. It is expected that improvements will be made through a continuing effort at Rocky Flats for improvement in the processes governing work at the plantsite that could yield cost reducing efficiencies in operations and maintenance as well as D & D activities.
For purposes of planning, all IHSSs would be excavated, thermally treated, and disposed. However, each IHSS will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and the appropriate remedial action would be implemented. In some cases, insitu treatment, containment, or another type of remedial action might be more appropriate.
