Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 4): Savannah River (USDOE), Operable Unit 7, SC, September 1993

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7011079

The document presents the selected final preventive action for the H-Area HWMF Operable Unit at the Savannah River Site (SRS). The selected final action remedy involved the stabilization and placement of all contaminated materials under a low permeability cap. This remedy prevents physical exposure to contaminants and mitigates further migration of contaminants to the groundwater by minimizing a liquid medium pathway (rainwater percolation) for transport. No further action is necessary for the unit. However, as a condition of the RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit, post closure groundwater monitoring is required to verify that no unacceptable exposures to potential hazards posed by conditions at the operable unit occur in the future.
