This document is an addendum to the Engineering Evaluation of Alternative for the Disposition of the Weldon Spring Raffinate Pits Site (EEA), for the Weldon Spring, Missouri, US Department of Energy Surplus Facilities Management Program site (Bechtel National, Inc., 1984a). The purposes of this Addendum are: (1) to evaluate variations, or subalternatives, of the EEA Alternatives 3 and 4 that address the stabilization of the wastes at the Weldon Spring Raffinate Pits Site, the Weldon Spring Quarry, the vicinity properties, and possibly the Weldon Spring Chemical Plant and (2) to evaluate a new alternative that considers reprocessing the raffinates for additional uranium removal. Alternatives discussed in the EEA are briefly described in Subsection 2.1. The various subalternatives and the new alternative were developed in response to comments from Missouri state agencies and other reviewers of the EEA. The Environmental Impact Statement being prepared by Argonne National Laboratory will evaluate, as appropriate, all identified engineering alternatives (those presented in the EEA, this addendum, and others). The assessment of the six variations of alternatives previously evaluated in the EEA and the new alternative presented in this Addendum consisted of comparing them on the bases of engineering requirements, maintenance and surveillance requirements, cost, schedule, manpower requirements, and occupational radiation exposure.
