From 1968 through 1996 Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (CYAPCO) operated the Haddam Neck Plant (HNP) at 362 Injun Hollow Road, East Hampton, Connecticut. In 1980 CYAPCO applied to be a permitted generator and storage facility for hazardous waste and was issued a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part A Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility Permit. During the operational period, the HNP produced more than 110 billion kilowatt-hours of energy. In 1996, CYAPCO decided to close and decommission the HNP. Decommissioning activities began in 1998 and were successfully completed in 2007 in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations and the CYAPCO License Termination Plan. As part of the closure process for the HNP, closure of the RCRA permit under the RCRA Corrective Action Program (CAP) was required. From 2002 through 2007, under the RCRA CAP, CYAPCO completed investigations and remediation work to address environmental impacts resulting from chemical usage at the HNP. The RCRA CAP was conducted under the regulatory authority of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CTDEEP). In the fall of 2014, the RCRA closure process was completed, and CYAPCO, with concurrence from USEPA, was issued a Letter of Completion from the CTDEEP signifying completion of the RCRA closure process. The paper discusses the RCRA closure process completed at the HNP, including the investigation, remediation, groundwater monitoring, and closure activities completed to achieve closure of the HNP under the RCRA requirements.
