The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority has sponsored a project to develop an integrated set of site management plans for the West Valley low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) disposal area. The plans were directed to upgrade the disposal area so that passive custodial care and monitoring activities would be sufficient to protect public health and safety and the environment. Task 4, the Interim Site Management Plan (ISMP), is the subject of this report. The goal of Task 4 was to develop a coordinated strategy for managing the LLRW disposal area to protect the public health and safety until the achievement of long-term site stabilization. The major objectives of this task included (1) develop a practical and cost-effective ISMP; (2) provide for maintenance activities that ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory and environmental regulations, standards, and guidelines; and (3) propose a data collection and analysis program specifically designed to assess and confirm site stabilization. The proposed ISMP consisted of the following 12 activities: (1) Trench Cap Settlement Monitoring Program; (2) Surface Water Management; (3) Leachate Monitoring and Analysis; (4) Site Surveillance and Maintenance; (5) Site Surveys; (6) Trench Sump; (7) Leachate Pumping and Treating; (8) Trench Cap Reworking; (9) Lagoon Closure; (10) North Slope Stabilization; (11) Demonstration Project; and (12) Site Closure. A summary of this Task 4 report is included in the Task 7 Report, Project Summary.
