Effective April 4, 2003, WVNSCO implemented new changes in our Document Control Program.
One of the primary changes was to eliminate the use of receipt acknowledgments when controlled documents are transmitted to controlled copy holders.
Controlled copy holders will continue to receive hard copies of the controlled documents, their associated index (if applicable), and a transmittal with filing instructions. As you will see in the attached transmittal, the format has been slightly modified and the signature/date line has been eliminated from the Controlled Document Transmittal. Therefore, you will no longer be required to send sign, date, and return the receipt acknowledgment as in the past.
I am planning to contact you in the near future to evaluate the use of existing controlled documents you are currently maintaining. The assessment will be for two reasons:
- 1)
Determine if you still have a need to receive the controlled documents on your list.
- 2)
Discuss the possibility of sending electronic copies of the controlled documents as Adobe
.pdf versions through e-mail vs. sending hard copies.
Thank you in advance for your support of our new Document Control Program changes and future ones. If you have any questions prior to my contacting you, please do not hesitate to call me at the above referenced telephone number.

SUMMARY
The U.S. DOE specifically mandates SPCC Plans in DOE Order 5480.1B, which states that DOE sites must comply with regulations presented in the CFR 40 CFR 112.7 (EPA SPCC Plan Guidance), for owners and operators of facilities having a potential for discharge of harmful quantities of oils to navigable waters.
Following the discovery of a discharge or potential discharge, the sequence of follow-up actions shall comply with 29 CFR 1910.120 (q) for emergency response operations.
Similar provisions mandated by 40 CFR 761 apply to the discharge of materials contaminated with PCBs.
This document addresses the requirements set forth in the above regulations.
Regulations also mandate that this plan be reviewed and updated at least once every three (3) years.
The Plan has been prepared in accordance with good engineering practices.
The plan includes sections for preventing unintentional discharges of oil and owner/operator response plans for such events.
Spill prevention and control is achieved through a comprehensive program of planning, design, operations, inspection, and training, all directed towards spill avoidance and quick response for containment, mitigation, and cleanup should a spill occur. The plan describes the engineered features and administrative controls used to preclude spills of oil, and response procedures developed to minimize deleterious effects of a spill.
The SPCC Plan also includes predicted flow paths and information on quantities of materials that could potentially be released.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 14 of 153 4.0 GENERAL INFORMATION This SPCC plan has been developed in accordance with 40 CFR 112, which has been defined as the applicable regulation by DOE Order 5480.1B.
According to 40 CFR 112, spill containment can be provided by secondary containment systems including dikes, berms, retaining walls, or curbing (40 CFRl112.7[c][i]), or by culverting, gutters, or other drainage systems (40 CFR 112.7 [c][iii]).
As outlined in this SPCC Plan and in response to the spill events that have occurred in the past at the WVDP, all oil and hazardous materials storage facilities at the WVDP are provided with secondary containment.
This containment system also serves to control releases during material transportation or transfer.
The WVDP is an activity of the DOE and is being operated pursuant to the West Valley Demonstration Project Act (Public Law 96-368, "the Project").
The operating contractor for the DOE OH/WVDP is WVNSCO, a wholly owned subsidiary of Washington Group International Inc.
The primary objectives of the Project are to: solidify approximately 2.2 million liters (580,000 gallons) of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) stored at the WNYNSC; dispose of the low-level radioactive waste (LLW) and transuranic (TRU) waste generated in conjunction with the Project; and subsequently decontaminate and decommission the facilities used during the Project.
HLW solidification has been completed.
4.1 Background Location and Historv The WNYNSC is a 1,335-hectare (ha) (3,300 acre) reservation owned by the State of New York.
The WVDP is located on a 88-ha (220 acre) parcel within the WNYNSC (see Figure4.2.1). The WVDP includes the main process building and support facilities that were formerly operated by NFS for reprocessing fuel.
These facilities have not been used for this purpose since 1972.
The facilities were maintained in a shut-down condition from 1972 to 1982, when DOE assumed operational control to decontaminate the facilities for preparation for their reuse in the Vitrification and Integrated Radioactive Waste Treatment processing of HLW.
Other facilities at the WVDP were specifically constructed for storage and shipping of waste.
In February 1975, NFS prepared and submitted a SPCC Plan for the reprocessing facility.
The 1975 plan was amended in April 1977 when two existing boiler steam condensate tanks were refitted for use as oil storage tanks.
These two tanks were drained and removed from service in 1984.
In June of 1985, an update and expansion of the NFS SPCC plan was issued by DOE and WVNSCO as WVDP-043.
The WVDP plan covered hazardous materials (as identified in 40 CFR 116) in addition to oil and other petroleum products.
The 1991 revision updated the 1985 plan (as revised in 1988 and 1990) to cover tanks added since that time and cover existing tanks that have been used or may be used for storage of materials covered in 40 CFR 112, and 116, 302.4, 355 and 6 NYCRR 597.2.
The January 1994 update included identification of SAAs, the Interim Waste Storage Facility (IWSF), the Hazardous Waste Storage Lockers (HWSF), and the Lag Storage Areas (LSA).
The July 1994 revision addressed control of potentially contaminated waste from fire fighting operations as required by DOE Order 5480.7A9B(10).
On November 11, 1994, a NYSDEC inspection indicated that the facility is in compliance with Petroleum Bulk Storage regulations (6 NYCRR Parts 612-614).
The May 1995 update added three (3) tanks to the SPCC and the Certification of the Applicability of the Substantial Harm Criteria form, as required by the 1990 Oil Pollution Act.
The January 1997 update included the addition of two aboveground petroleum storage tanks
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 15 of 153 to replace three existing underground storage tanks and other minor changes.
The December 2000 update included general update of facility, inclusion of used edible oil stored in WMSA, and deletion of all hazardous waste and hazardous material, facilities from this plan.
4.2 Site Topography and Drainage Figure 4.2.1 shows major drainage pathways for the WNYNSC and the WVDP.
The Project area is drained by three (3) creeks, namely, Erdman Brook, Quarry Creek, and Franks Creek.
The WNYNSC is drained by these three (3) creeks, as well as Buttermilk Creek, and Cattaraugus Creek.
Erdman Brook and Quarry Creek are tributaries to Franks Creek; Franks Creek is a tributary of Buttermilk Creek; Buttermilk Creek is a tributary of Cattaraugus Creek.
Buttermilk Creek originates south of the town of West Valley, New York, enters the WNYNSC at Riceville Station and flows through the site in a generally northwesterly direction until it joins Cattaraugus Creek eight (8) kilometers later.
The WVDP facilities are at an elevation of slightly over 1330.99 ft above mean sea level (MSL).
The elevation of Buttermilk Creek at its entrance to the site is about 1128.85 ft, and the elevation at the confluence with Cattaraugus Creek is slightly over 1034.73 ft.
The total drainage area of Buttermilk Creek is estimated to be 48,215 ha, with an average flow rate of 46.5 ft3 /sec.
Cattaraugus Creek flows in a generally westerly direction from the site to Lake Erie some 39 miles away.
The total drainage area of Cattaraugus Creek is estimated to be 877,350 ha.
The drainage area of Cattaraugus Creek above the confluence with Buttermilk Creek is estimated to be 344,600 ha.
Thus, the average flow in Buttermilk Creek past the site may be estimated to be fifty percent of the average flow rate in Cattaraugus Creek at the confluence, or 354 ft3/sec.
No public water supplies use either Buttermilk Creek or Cattaraugus Creek as a source of potable water.
A dam/hydroelectric generating station under the possession of Erie County is located Cattaraugus Creek approximately 2.5 miles below the confluence of Buttermilk and Cattaraugus Creeks.
Figure 4.2.2 shows site drainage details, and identifies major Project facilities involved in storage of oil.
A new RHWF is under construction.
RHWF construction is scheduled for completion in 2003.
Figure 4.2.3 depicts storm water drainage patterns on the site.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 16 of 153 The ponded surface waters and surface water channels in the vicinity of the WVDP includes several small tributaries of Buttermilk Creek, the on-site Low Level.Waste treatment lagoons, the two water supply reservoirs, tributaries of Franks Creek, Quarry Creek, Erdman Brook headwaters and isolated wetlands.
The plateau on which the Project facilities are located is dissected by the steep-walled valleys of these streams.
Surface runoff from plant areas is directed into these channels via drainage ditches and culverts.
The on-site low-level waste water treatment facility (LLWTF) includes four lagoons (numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5), the largest of which contains a controllable discharge pipe to Erdman Brook.
Of these four lagoons, numbers 4 and 5 are small feed and effluent holding basins.
The capacity of Lagoon 2 is approximately 12.2 million liters and Lagoon 3 capacity is approximately 13.4 million liters.
Two (2) on-site reservoirs, (see Figure 4.2.3), were created by damming branches of Buttermilk Creek-to an elevation of 414.5 m above sea level (MLS) and constructing an interconnecting channel.
Capacity of these reservoirs is approximately 824,100 m 3.

WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 20 of 153 4.3 Storm Sewer System The storm sewer system in the WVDP site consists of underground conduits for local accumulation control in combination with surface drainage ditches and culverts.
The underground sewer piping, with the inlet'and discharge locations, is shown (light dashed lines) in Figure 4.2.3.
Water from the outfalls of the pipes flows in ditches which lead to the several surface drainageways.
On-site surface drainageways flow into Erdman Brook, Franks Creek, or Quarry Creek through several drainageways.
Flow at the north end flows into Frank and Quarry Creek and flow at south end (near NDA/SDA) flows into Franks Creek.
4.4 Storaaze Facility Description The following sections describe the major outdoor storage tanks, temporary storage facilities for PCB's, underground tanks and other, sources with a potential for environmental releases of oil.
These installations are summarized in Table 4.4.1.
The locations of these tanks (or buildings containing tanks) are shown on Figure 4.4.3. The shield windows containing mineral oil are shown in Table 4.4.2.
All of the tanks on site that are required to be registered with the NYSDEC are tested at the frequency required by the appropriate regulations.
Tanks are inspected on a routine basis by the cognizant WVNSCO operations group and recorded in the operating logs in accordance with their operating procedures.
In addition, WVNSCO Quality Services.or an independent contractor inspects aboveground petroleum storage tanks on a monthly basis.

WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 28 of 153 4.5 Fuel Oil Tank 31D-2 [NYS Registration No. Fl 4.5.1 Construction Tank 31D-2 is a 38,000-liter carbon steel vessel, 2.8 m in diameter by 6.1 m long.
It is used to store No. 2 fuel oil for emergency operation of the boilers and standby power generators and is steam-heated to allow the oil to flow freely upon demand.
The tank is elevated above a diked, earthen spill containment basin by two reinforced concrete piers.
The basin is equipped with a six-inch drain which is controlled by a manually operated gate valve.
4.5.2 Instrumentation Tank 31D-2 is equipped with level indicator and temperature gauge.
Sight glasses, which are on the east side of the vessel, allow visual readout of the level in the vessel.
More accurate level indication is provided by an air-purged instrument mounted off the lower connection of the sight glasses.
The temperature gauge displays the temperature inside the vessel.
4.5.3 Operation The tank is filled using a hose from a tank truck to a pipe connection approximately three (3)-feet above grade located outside the diked area.
An isolation valve near the tank truck connection point is locked and tagged.
Instructions for receiving-fuel in Tank 31D-2 are presented in Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 31-09 "Operation of Boilers 31F-002A and 31F-002B." This procedure requires the operator to observe the level in the tank before and after material transfer and provides a detailed sequence of instructions to minimize the likelihood of spills or overflows during transfer.
Tank filling is a manual operation requiring operator attendance throughout the entire procedure.
Thus,-any spills during the transfer should be immediately identified and corrective action implemented.
The fuel oil tank supplies fuel to the boilers in the Utility Room (UR) via underground pipes and the diesel driven standby
-power generators.
(The boilers are normally fueled by natural gas.)
In-normal operations, the spill basin collects rainwater and discharge from the internal steam heating system.
The basin gate valve is closed except when collected water is being drained from the basin.
Before the basin is drained, standing liquids are first examined for surface sheen to make sure they do not contain oil.
The liquid (rainwater) is sampled and released per SOP 15-51, "Release of Waters From Diked Areas Around Tanks", allowing the collected water to drain into the Utility Room (UR) drainage ditch.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 29 of 153 4.5.4 Spill Containment The fuel oil tank is mounted on concrete pedestals within a diked, earthen spill containment basin.
This basin is a depression in. the ground surface capable of holding a volume of 84,740 liters.

5.D OIL SPILL EVENT SPILL PREVIEW RELEASE SCENARIOS 5.1 Spill History During the history of the WVDP, under NFS and DOE, there have been no documented occurrences of environmentally catastrophic spills causing significant harm to the environment.
However, there have been several notewofthy on-site spills.
In July 1986, a small spill of diesel fuel in a construction laydown area occurred approximately 30 meters northeast of the waste water treatment lagoons.
This spill consisted of release of 30 to 50 gallons of fuel from a parked dump truck.
The cause o the leak was a perforated fuel line on the truck.
Corrective action consisted of collecting the spilled fuel in buckets and on, clay absorbent and securing the leaking fuel:line.
This event was confined to the immediate area and resulted in no release to surface waters.
A former underground petroleum-storage tank, closed in place before the New York State underground storage tank program closure requirements were implemented in 1985, was removed in 1997.
Testing of solids from the tank excavation had shown evidence of earlier petroleum leakage, and on March 19, 1999 the DOE and NYSDEC executed a Stipulation Agreement Pursuant to Section 17-0303 of the Environmental Conservation Law and Section 176 of the Navigation Law for mitigation of the petroleum contamination.
A soil bioventing system was installed in August 1999 to remediate localized petroleum-contaminated soils.
The system stimulates natural in situ biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil by providing an abundant oxygen supply to existing soil microorganisms within the contaminated soil zone.
Soil and groundwater samples were collected in 2002 to evaluate whether an adequate level of remediation has been achieved.
Sample results are being reviewed by NYSDEC.
There have been no reportable spills (as defined by 40 CFR 112) at the WVDP for the last five years.
Monthly spill reporting requirements to the NYSDEC are detailed in WVDP-340, "Spill/Release Evaluation Management, and Reporting Program".
5.2 Credible Oil Spill Sources Potential sources of releases of oil, including all the storage facilities listed in Section 4.0.
However, no reasonable potential exists for releases to the environment from facilities inside buildings.
Therefore, this section will only consider facilities not enclosed in buildings.
Some of these outdoor facilities are provided with secondary containment mechanisms such as containment basins and berms. However, in the event of a release, all of the outdoor facilities would also be provided with containment by means of blockage of the spill migration pathway.
The remainder of this section focuses on spill migration pathways (including available locations for blockage) in the event of a spill from one of the outdoor tanks.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 35 of 153 The underground tank at the WVDP is maintained in compliance with state and federal underground storage tank regulations, which require leak prevention and detection by various means such as regular monitoring, cathodic protection, double containment, etc. However, this section will consider surface migration pathways due to spills resulting from transfer of oil or discharges of oil from these tanks.
5.3 Migration Pathwavs Releases in the majority of the site area would flow east into surface depressions and eventually, if not blocked, to Erdman Brook or Franks Creek.
These migration pathways and available blockage points, and the containment basin that would be formed in the event of blockage, are shown on Figure 5.3.1.
A release in the northwest area of the site would flow northeast into a surface depression and eventually, if not blocked, into Quarry Creek.
Figure 5.3.1 also shows paths of underground storm sewers (dashed lines).
Storm sewer outlets generally lead to surface ditches, through culverts, and to topographical depressions leading to creeks.
The storm sewer system and continuing topographical drainageways, if blocked, represent a further containment system with storage capacity in the event of a release.
The containment basins which could be developed by culvert or ditch closure range from extremely large (e.g., 7.5 million gallons, by blocking a culvert located in the Erdman Brook) to several hundred gallons (e.g., some minor ditches).
The above ground gasoline and diesel fuel tanks are located west of the warehouse.
A substantial surface spill of material from these tanks would flow south several meters to a drainage ditch, alongside a roadway, then flow in the ditch another 100 meters south to a culvert under the road.
The flow could be blocked at the culvert entrance.
Blocking the drainage path would allow cleanup before the spill material could migrate off-site.
The transit time for material to flow from the area of the fuel pumps to Erdman Brook is on the order of minutes to hours, depending on conditions, such as quantity released and weather conditions.
III
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 37 of 153 5.4 Spill Prevention and Emergency Preparedness The WVNSCO Site Services Manager is responsible for all spill control and response.
Individual engineering departments are responsible for the design and engineering of the storage and containment facilities described in this Plan.
Individual organizations are responsible for developing and implementing oil spill prevention and control training programs.
If a spill of oil is identified at the WVDP, the initial response will be to ensure employee safety, contain the material on-site, identify the source, and isolate or eliminate the source.
Notification of the spill will be provided to-the DOE-OH/WVDP using the "Substance Release Evaluation Form" (see Section.7.1).
Thepermeabilities of the soils on the site, as well as those contained in the berms surrounding the tanks on site, can be found in the Geo-Hydro EID, WVDP-009.
Calculations can be used to determine the rate of transport through the dikes and into the groundwater.
If containment around a given source were to fail, the spill can still be contained within the site boundaries by cutting off surface drainage from the area.
This can be done by placing earthen dams across drainage ditches, inflatable "pigs" in culvert pipe outlets, or utilizing alternative spill containment devices.
Stopping the source of the spill may be accomplished by closing a valve on a transfer line or removing the material from the leaking tank.
In some cases, material removed from a tank could be transferred into a suitably equipped spare tank. This would also be the method for recovering spilled material retained in a spill pad or containment basin.
Responsibility for recovery from non-emergency spills (i.e., where there is no potential for off-site release or a threat to the safety of on-site personnel) resides with the PSOSS.
The PSOSS will call upon the expertise of other WVNSCO management and staff as necessary to remediate the situation, and will also notify WVNSCO EA, who will determine if subsequent off-site notifications are required.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 38 of 153 The VDP Emergency Plan (WVDP-022) will be implemented if an oil spill of significant quantity threatens the safety of on-site personnel or the environment.
The petroleum product spill reporting procedures agreed to by the NYSDEC and the DOE-OH/WVDP as of June 25, 1996, include the following provisions:
- 1.
Spills of petroleum products of less than five (5) gallons which are contained and under the control of the spiller, do not reach the State's water or any land, and are cleaned up within two (2) hours of discovery, need not be reported to NYSDEC.
A spill report and evaluation will be maintained for at least one year from the date of the incident by WVDP for these spills.
- 2.
Spills of petroleum products of less than five (5) gallons which contact any land, but do not reach the State's water must be entered into the monthly petroleum spill log.
They need not be reported to the NYSDEC Spill Hotline.
- 3.
Spills of petroleum products of any amount that reach the State's water or are greater than five (5) gallons must be.
reported immediately.
Incidents are reported to the NYSDEC Region 9 Spill Response Unit (716-851-7220) during regular business hours, or the NYSDEC Spill Hotline (1-800-457-7362) at any hour, or 1-518-457-7362 if calling from outside New York State.
Any person with knowledge of a spill, leak or discharge of petroleum must report the incident to MPO who will notify EA as required by WV-915 "Spill/Release Notification and Reporting."
EA will evaluate the incident and make the appropriate report to the NYSDEC, as required.
The results of any inventory record, test or inspection which show a facility is leaking must be reported to the NYSDEC within two (2) hours of the discovery.
Notification must be made by calling the telephone hotline (800) 457-7362 or (518)457-7362.
Oil spills that are sufficiently harmful to public health and welfare -
that violate water quality standards or leave a film or sheen on the water or sludge on the adjoining shoreline -
must be reported to the appropriate EPA regional office immediately.
If the spill is greater than 1000 gallons of petroleum products or if two spill incidents are reported within twelve (12) months, a written report must be sent to EPA within sixty (60) days.
The report must contain the following information:
O Name of the facility.
0 Names of owners or operators.
0 Location.
o Date when the facility began operation.
0 Maximum storage or handling capacity and output of the facility.
1:1
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 39 of 153 o
- A complete description of;the facility including maps, diagrams, flow charts, an'd topographical details.
O What failures in the system.caused the spill.
0 What was done-to stop the spill.
O What preventive measures have been taken to reduce the possibility of further spills.
A copy of the oil spill report is also sent to the state agency responsible'for water-pollution control, NYSDEC.
After NYSDEC and the-EPA regional office review the oil spill report,'the owner or operator may be required to amend the SPCC plan to stricter requirements unless it can be shown that the proposed'amendments are not feasible.
These arguments must be set forth within thirty (30) days of notification by the EPA regional office.
The monthly log and accompanying report must be submitted to NYSDEC Region 9 by the 15th of the following month.
The log must be available for inspection during normal business hours.
If a release is imminent, EA will evaluate and if necessary notify the DOE-OH/WVDP.
The DOE-OH/WVDP will notify the DOE-OH.
EA will notify Washington Group International, Inc.
Energy and Environment Group, the EPA, NYSDEC, and local emergency response units if necessary.
The WVDP Emergency Plan (WVDP-022) provides an organized plan of action that identifies authorities and responsibilities of emergency response personnel and organizations and identifies the manpower and equipment resources available to cope with emergencies at the WVDP.
WVDP-022 applies to emergency actions relative to radiological, hazardous, industrial, safeguards and security-(theft of Special Nuclear Materials, threats or acts of violence, etc.), and natural phenomena emergencies at the WVDP.
The primary purpose of WVDP-022 is to minimize the impact of any emergency upon the health and safety-of plant personnel and the general public.
Whenever a WVDP emergency occurs, the Emergency Director may activate Emergency'Response Organization personnel or their designated alternates.
This group provides administrative and technical assistance to the Emergency Director, as needed, and consists of the WVDP EOC staff, Technical Support Center (TSC) staff, Operations Support Group (OSG) staff, and the IC.
The composition and functions of these groups are described in-WVDP-022 and WVDP-139.
On off-shifts, the responsibility for emergency direction for the WVDP rests with the PSOSS until relieved by higher authority.
The PSOSS is the Emergency Director (who assumes the duties of IC) during emergency events where fire and health concerns are paramount.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 40 of 153 The WVNSCO President has the ultimate responsibility for all WVNSCO activities.
The WVNSCO President interacts with the DOE Project Director and off-site resources as appropriate for the mitigation of emergency conditions.
The President and/or his alternates serve as Emergency Director.
Emergency Response Organization Staffing Lists will be periodically updated and maintained in the WVDP Emergency Management Implementing Procedures Manual (WVDP-139).
The WVNSCO President will retain responsibility and authority for assessment and mitigation of emergency conditions at WVDP unless relieved by higher authority.
With regard to emergencies when EOC is activated, the Emergency Director shall:
- 1.
Maintain executive control of all emergency situations affecting WVDP operations;
- 2.
Activate the WVDP Emergency Operations Center and WVDP Emergency Response Organization (WVDP-ERO) as needed;

8.0 CERTIFICATION OF THE APPLICATION OF THE SUBSTANTIAL HARM CRITERIA The 1990 Oil Pollution Prevention Act (OPPA) requires facilities that store petroleum products to determine if they meet substantial harm criteria.
The EPA considers facilities that meet substantial harm criteria as having the potential for significant releases into navigable waterways or public drinking water intakes.
These facilities must submit a spill response plan to the EPA.
The responses to the questions listed in Figure 8.1 indicate that the WVDP does not meet substantial harm criteria.
Therefore, the 1990 OPPA does not require the WVDP to prepare a spill response plan.

A complete copy of the appeal must be sent to the Regional Administrator at the time the appeal is made. The appeal shall contain a clear and concise statement of the issues and points of fact in the case. It may also contain addi-tional infornation from the owner or operator, or from any other person. The Administrator or his designee may request additional information from the owner or operator, orfrom any other person. The Administrator or his designee shall ren-der a decision within 60 days of receiving the appeal and shall notify the owner or operator of his decision.
§112.5 Amendment of Spill Prevention Control and Cointermeasure Plans by owners or operators.
(a) Owners or operators of facilities subject to § 112.3 (a), (b) or (c) shall amend the SPCC Plan for such facility in accordance with § 112.7 whenever there is a change in facility design, construction, operation or maintenance which mate-rially affects the facility's potential for the discharge of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shore lines. Such amendments shall be fully implemented as soon as possible, but not later than six months after such change occurs.
(b) Notwithstanding compliance with paragraph (a) of this section, owners and operators of facilities subject to
§112.3 (a), (b) or (c) shall complete a review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan at least once every three years from the date such facility becomes subject to this part. As a result of this review and evaluation, the owner or operator shall amend the SPCC Plan within six months of the review to include more effective prevention and control technology if: (1)
Such technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill event from the facility, and (2) if such technology has been field-proven at the time of the review.
(c) No amendment to an SPCC Plan shall be effective to satisfy the requirements of this section unless it has been certified by a Professional Engineer in accordance with §112.3(d).
§112.7 Guidelines for the preparation and Implementation of a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan.
The SPCC Plan shall be a carefully thought-out plan, prepared in accordance with good engineering practices, and which has the full approval of management at a level with authority to commit the necessary resources. If the plan calls for additional facilities or procedures, methods, or equipment not yet fully operational, these items should be discussed in separate paragraphs, and the details of installation and op_rational start-up should be explained separately. The com-plete SPCC Plan shall follow the sequence outlined below, and include a discussion of the facility's conformance with the appropriate guidelines listed:
(a) A facility which has experienced one or more spill events within twelve months prior to the effective date of this part should include a written description 'of each such spill, corrective action taken and plans for preventing recurrence.
(b) Where experience indicates a reasonable potential for equipment failure (such as tank overflow, rupture, or leak-age), the plan should include a prediction of the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil which could be discharged from the facility as a result of each major type of'failure.
(c) Appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment to prevent discharged oil from reaching a navigable water course should be provided. One of the following preventive systems or its equivalent should be used as a minimum:
(1) Onshore facilities:
(i) Dikes, berns or retaining walls sufficiently impervious to contain spilled oil; (ii) Curbing; (iii) Culverting, gutters or other drainage systems; (iv) Weirs, booms or other barriers; (v) Spill diversion ponds; (vi) Retention ponds; (vii) Sorbent materials.
(2) Offshore facilities:
(i) Curbing, drip pans; (ii) Sumps and collection systems.
(d) When it is determined that the installation of structures or equipment listed in §112.7(c) to prevent discharged oil from reaching the navigable waters is not practicable from any onshore or offshore facility, the owner or operator should clearly demonstrate such impracticability and provide the following:
(1) A strong oil spill contingency plan following the provision of 40 CFR part 109.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 69 of 153 Environmental Protection Agency
§112.7 (2) A written commitment of manpower, equipment and materials required to expeditiously control and remove any harmful quantity of oil discharged.
(e) In addition to the minimal prevention standards listed under § 1 2.7(c), sections of the Plan should include a com-plete discussion of conformance with the following 'applicable guidelines, other effective spill prevention and containment procedures (or, if more stringent, with State rules, regulations and guidelines):
(1) Facility drainage (onshore); (excluding production facilities ). (i) Drainage from diked storage areas should be restrained by valves or other positive means to prevent a spill or other excessive leakage of oil into the drainage system or inplant effluent treatment system, except where plan systems are designed to handle such leakage. Diked areas may be emptied by pumps or ejectors; however, these should be manually activated and the condition of the accumulation should be examined before starting to be sure no oil will be discharged into the water.
(ii) Flapper-type drain valves should not be used to drain diked areas. Valves used fIr the drainage of diked areas should, as far as practical, be of manual, open-and-closed design. When plant drainage drains directly into water courses and not into wastewater treatment plants, retained storm water should be inspected as provided in paragraphs (e)(2)(iii)
(B), (C) and (D) of this section before drainage.
(iii) Plant drainage systems from undiked areas should, if possible, flow into ponds, lagoons or catchment basins, designed to retain oil or return it to the facility. Catchment basins should not be located in reas subject to periodic flood-ing.
(iv) If plant drainage is not engineered as above, the final discharge of all in-plant ditches should be equipped with a diversion system that could, in the event of an uncontrolled spill, return the oil to the plant.
(v) Where drainage waters are treated in more than one treatment unit, natural hydraulic flow should be used. If pump transfer is needed, two "lift" pumps should be provided, and at least one of the pumps should be permanently installed when such treatment is continuous. In any event, whatever techniques are used facility drainage systems should be adequately engineered to prevent oil from reaching navigable waters in the event of equipment failure or human error at the facility.
(2) Bulk storage tanks (onshore); ( excluding production facilities ). (i) No tank should be used for the storage of oil unless its material and construction are compatible with the material s.ored and conditins of storage such as pressure and temperature, etc.
(ii) All bulk storage tank installations should be constructed so that a secondary means of containment is provided for the entire contents of the largest single tank plus sufficient freeboard to allow for precipitation. Diked areas should be sufficiently impervious to contain spilled oil. Dikes, containment curbs, and pits are commonly employed for this pur-pose, but they may not always be appropriate. An alternative system could consist of a complete drainage trench enclo-sure arranged so that a spill could terminate and be safely confined in an in-plant catchment basin or holding pond.
(iii) Drainage of rainwater from the diked area into a storm drain or an effluent discharge that empties into an open water course, lake, orpond, and bypassing the in-plant treatnent system may be acceptable if:
(A) The bypass valve is normally sealed closed.
(B) Inspection of the run-off rain water ensures compliance with applicable water quality standards and will not cause a harmful discharge as defined in 40 CFR part 10.
(C) The bypass valve is opened, and resealed following drainage under responsible supervision.
(D) Adequate records are kept of such events.
(iv) Buried metallic storage tanks represent a potential for undetected spills. A new buried installation should be pro-tected from corrosion by coatings, cathodic protection or other effective methods compatible with local soil conditions.
Such buried tanks should at least be subjected to regular pressure testing.
(v) Partially buried metallic tanks for the storage of 'oil should be avoided, unless ue buried section of the shell is adequately coated, since partial burial in damp earth can cause ra-pid corrosion of metallic surfaces, especially at the earthlair interface.
(vi) Aboveground tanks should be subject to periodic integrity testing, taking into account tank design (floating roof, etc.) and using such techniques as hydrostatic testing, visual inspection or a system of non-destructive shell thickness test-ing. Comparison records should be kept where appropriate, and tank supports and foundations should be included in these inspections. In addition, the outside of the tank'should requently be observed by operatin personnel for signs of deteri-oration, leaks which might cause a spill, or accumulation of oil inside diked areas.
(vii) To control leakage through defective internal heating coils, the following factors should be considered and applied, as appropriate.
(A) The steam return or exhaust lines from internal heating coils which discharge into an open water course should be monitored for contamination, or passed through a settling tank, skimmer, or other separation or retention system.
WVDP-043 Rev.
10 Page 70 of 153
§112.7 40 CFR Ch. 1 (7-1-98 Edition)
(B) The feasibility of installing an extemat heating system should also be considered.
(viii) New and old tank installations should, as far as practical, be fail-safe engineered or updated into a fail-safe engineered installation to avoid spills. Consideration should be given to providing one or more of the following devices:
(A) High liquid level alarms with an audible or visual signal at a constantly manned operation or surveillance sta-tion; in smaller plants an audible air vent may suffice.
(B) Considering size and complexity of the facility, high liquid level pump cutoff devices set to stop flow at a prede-termined tank content level.
(C) Direct audible or code signal communication between the tank gauger and the pumping station.
(D) A fast response system for determining the liquid level of each bulk storage tank such as digital computers, telepulse. or direct vision gauges or their equivalent.
(E) Liquid level sensing devices should be regularly tested to insure proper operation.
(ix) Plant effluents which are discharged into navigable waters should have disposal facilities observed frequently enough to detect possible system upsets that could cause an oil spill event.
(x) Visible oil leaks which result in a loss of oil from tank seams, gaskets, rivets and bolts sufficiently large to cause the accumulation of oil in diked areas should be promptly corrected.
(xi) Mobile or portable oil storage tanks (onshore) should be positioned or located so as to prevent spilled oil from reaching navigable waters. A secondary means of containment, such as dikes or catchment basins, should be furnished for the largest single compartment or tank. These facilities should be located where they will not be subject to periodic flood-ing or washout.
(3) Facility transfer operations, pumping, and in-plant process ( onshore); (excluding production facilities ). (i)
Buried piping installations should have a protective wrapping and coating and should be cathodically protected if soil conditions warrant. If a section of buried line is exposed for any reason, it should be carefully examined for deterioration.
If corrosion damage is found, additional examination and corrective action should be taken as indicated by the magnitude of the damage. An altemative would be the more frequent use of exposed pipe corridors or galleries.
(ii) When a pipeline is not in service, or in standby service for an extended time the terminal connection at the trans-fer point should be capped or blank-flanged, and marked as to origin.
(iii) Pipe supports should be properly designed to minimize abrasion and corrosion and allow for expansion and con-traction.
(iv) All aboveground valves and pipelines should be subjected to regular examinations by operating personnel at which time the general condition of items, such as flange joints, expansion joints, valve glands and bodies, catch pans, pipeline supports, locking of valves, and metal surfaces should be assessed. In addition, periodic pressure testing may be warranted for piping in areas where facility drainage is such that a failure might lead to a spill event.
(v) Vehicular trafic granted entry into the facility should be wamed verbally or by appropriate signs to be sure that the vehicle, because of its size, will not endanger above ground piping.
(4) Facility tank car and tank truck loading/ unloading rack ( onshore). (i) Tank car and tank truck loading/unload-ing procedures should meet the minimum requirements and regulation established by the Department of Transportation. -
(ii) Where rack area drainage does not flow into a catchment basin or treatment facility designed to handle spills, a quick drainage system should be used for tank truck loading and unloading areas. The containment system should be designed to hold at least maximum capacity of any single compartment of a tank car or tank truck loaded or unloaded in the planL (iii) An interlocked waming light or physical barrier system, or warning signs, should be provided in loading/
unloading areas to prevent vehicular departure before complete disconnect of flexible or fixed transfer lines.
(iv) Prior to filling and departure of any tank car or tank truck, the lowermost drain and all outlets of such vehicles should be closely examined for leakage, and if necessary, tightened, adjusted, or replaced to prevent liquid leakage while in transit.
(S) Oil production facities ( onshore )-i)
Definition. An onshore production facility may include all wells, flowlines, separation equipment, storage facilities, gathering lines, and auxiliary non-transportation-related equipment and facilities in a single geographical oil or gas field operated by a single operator.
(ii) Oil production facility (onshore) drainage. (A) At tank batteries and central treating stations where an acci-dental discharge of oil would have a reasonable possibility of reaching navigable waters, the dikes or equivalent required under §112.7(c)(1) should-have drains closed and sealed at all times except when rainwater is being drained. Prior to drainage, the diked area should be inspected as provided in paragraphs (e)(2)(iii) (B), (C), and (D) of this section. Accu-mulated oil on the rainwater should be picked up and returned to storage or disposed of in accordance with approved methods.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 71 of 153 Environmental Protection Agency
§112.7 (B) Field drainage ditches, road ditches, and oil traps, sumps or skimmers, if such exist, should be inspected at reg-ularly scheduled intervals for accumulation of oil that may have escaped from small leaks. Any such accumulatics should be removed.
(iii) Oilproductionfacility (onshore ) bulk storage tanks. (A) No tank should be used for the storage of oil unless its material and construction are compatible with the material stored and the conditions of storage.
(B) All taik battery and central treating plant installations should be provided with a secondary means of contain-ment for the entire contents of the largest single tank if feasible, or alternate systems such as those outlined'in
§112.7(c)(1). Drainae from undiked areas should be safely'confined in a catchment basin or holding pond.
(C) All tanks containing oil should be visually examined by a competent person for condition and need for mainte-nance on a scheduled periodic basis. Such examination should include the foundation and supports of tanks that are above the surface of the ground.
(D) New and old tank battery installations should, as far as practical, be fail-safe engineered or updated into a fail-safe engineered installation to prevent spills. Consideration should be given to one or more of the following:
(I ) Adequate tank capacity to assure that a tank will not overfill should a pumper/gauger be delayed in making his regular rounds.
( 2 ) Overflow equalizing lines between tanks so that a full tank can overflow to an adjacent tank.
( 3 ) Adequate vacuum protection to prevent tank collapse during a pipeline run.
( 4 ) High level sensors to generate and transmit an alarm signal to the computer where facilities are a part of a com-puter production control system.
Civ) Facility transfer operations, oil production facility (onshore ). (A) All above ground valves and pipelines should be examined periodically on a scheduled basis for general condition of items such as flange joints, valve glands and bodies, drip pans, pipeline supports, pumping well polish rod stuffmg boxes, bleeder and gauge valves.
() Salt water (oil field brine) disposal facilities should be examined often, particularly following a sudden change in atmospheric temperature to detect possible system upsets that could cause an oil discharge.
(C) Production facilities should have a program of flowline maintenance to prevent spills from this source. The pro-gram should include periodic examinations, corrosion protection, flowline replacement, and adequate records, as appro-priate, for the individual facility.
(6) Oil drilling and workoverfacilities (onshore). (i) Mobile drilling or workover equipment should be positioned or located so as to prevent spilled oil from reaching navigable waters.
(ii) Depending on the location, catchment basins or diversion structures may be necessary to intercept and contain spills of fuel, crude oil, or oily drilling fluids.
(iii) Before drilling below any casing string or'during workover operations, a blowout prevention BOP) assembly and well control system should be installed that is capable of controlling any well head pressure that is expected to be encountered while that BOP assembly is on the well. Casing and BOP installations should be in accordance with State regulatory agency requirements.
(7) Oil drilling, production, or workoverfacilities (offshore). (i) Defuiition: "An oil drilling, production or work-over facility (offshore)" may include all drilling or workover equipment, wells, flowlines, gathering lines, platforms, and auxiliary nontransportation-related equipment and facilities in a single geographical oil or gas field operated by a single operator.
tii) Oil drainage collection equipment should be used to prevent and control small oil spillage around pumps, glands, valves, flanges, expansionjoints, hoses, drain lines, separators, treaters, tanks, and allied equipment. Drains on the facility should be controlled and directed toward a central collection sump or equivalent collection system sufficient to prevent discharges of oil into the navigable waters of the United States. Where drains and sumps are not practicable oil contained in collection equipment should be removed as often as necessary to prevent overflow.
(iii) For facilities employing a sump system, sump and'drains should be adequately sized and a spare pump or equivalent method should be available to remove liquid from the'sump and assure that oil does not escape. A regular scheduled preventive maintenance inspection and testing program should be employed to assure reliable operation of the liquid removal system and pump start-up'device. Redundant automatic sump pumps and control devices may be required on some installations.
(iv) In areas where separators and treaters are equipped with dump valves whose predominant mode of failure is in the closed position and pollution risk is high, the facility should be specially equipped to prevent the escape of oil. This could be accomplished by extending the flare line to a diked area if the separator is near shore, equipping it with a high liquid level sensor that will automatically shut-in wells producing to the separator, parallel redundant dump valves, or other feasible altematives to prevent oil discharges.

§112.7 40 CFR Ch. 1(7-1-98 Edition)
(v) Atmospheric storage or surge tanks should be equipped with high liquid level sensing devices or other acceptable alternatives to prevent oil discharges.
(vi) Pressure tanks should be equipped with high and low pressure sensing devices to activate an alarm and/or con-trol the flow or other acceptable alternatives to prevent oil discharges.
(vii) Tanks should be equipped with suitable corrosion protection.
(viii) A written procedure for inspecting and testing pollution prevention equipment and systems should be prepared and maintained at the facility. Such procedures should be included as part of the SPCC Plan..
(ix) Testing and inspection of the pollution prevention equipment and systems at the facility should be conducted by the owner or operator on a scheduled periodic basis commensurate with the complexity, conditions and circumstances of the facility or other appropriate regulations.
(x) Surface and subsurface well shut-in valves and devices in use at the facility should be sufficiently described to determine method of activation or control, e.g.. pressure differential, change in fluid or flow conditions, combination of pressure and flow, manual or remote control mechanisms. Detailed records for each well, while not necessarily part of the plan should be kept by the owner or operator.
(xi) Before drilling below any casing string, and during workover operations a blowout preventer (BOP) assembly and weU control system should be installed that is capable of controlling any well-head pressure that is expected to be encountered while that BOP assembly is on the well. Casing and BOP installations should be in accordance with State regulatory agency requirements.
(xii) Extraordinary well control measures should be provided should emergency conditions, including fire, loss of control and other abnormal conditions, occur. The degree of control system redundancy should vary with hazard exposure and probable consequences of failure. It is recommended that surface shut-in systems have redundant or "fail close" valv-ing. Subsurface safety valves may not be needed in producing wells that will not flow but should be installed'as required by applicable State regulations.
(xiii) In order that there wiU be no misunderstanding of joint and separate duties and obligations to perform work in a safe and pollutori free manner, written instructions should be prepared by the owner or operator for contractors and subcontractors to follow whenever contract activities include servicing a well or systems appurtenant to a weU or pres-sure vessel. Such instructions and procedures should be maintained at the offshore production facility. Under certain cir-cumstances and conditions such contractor activities may require the presence at the facility of an authorized representative of the owner or operator who would intervene when necessary to prevent a spiU event.
(xiv) Al manifolds (headers) should be equipped with check valves on individual flowlines.
(xv) If the shut-in well pressure is greater than the working pressure of the flowline and manifold valves up to and including the header valves associated with that individual flowline, the flowline should be equipped with a high pressure sensing device and shut-in valve at the wellhead unless provided with a pressure relief system to prevent overpressuring.
(xvi) All pipelines appurtenant to the facility should be protected from corrosion. Methods used, such as. protective coatings or cathodic protection, should be discussed.
(xvii) Sub-marine pipelines appurtenant to the facility should be adequately protected against environmental stresses and other activities such as fishing operations.
(xviii) Sub-marine pipelines appurtenant to the facility should be in good operating condition at all times and inspected on a scheduled periodic basis for failures. Such inspections should be documented and maintained at the facility.
(8) Inspections and records. Inspections required by this part should be in accordance with written procedures developed for the facility by the owner or operator. These written procedures and a record of the inspections, signed by the appropriate supervisor or inspector, should be made part of the SPCC Plan and maintained for a period of three years.
(9) Security ( excluding oilproductionfacilities ). (i) All plants handling, processing, and storing oil should be fully fenced, and entrance gates should be locked and/or guarded when the plant is not in production or is unattended.
(ii) The master flow and drain valves and any other valves that will permit direct outward flow of the tank's content to the surface should be securely locked in the closed position when in non-operating or non-standby status.
(iii) The starter control on all oil pumps should be locked in the "off" position or located at a site accessible only to authorized personnel when the pumps are in a non-operating or non-standby status.
(iv) The loading/unloading connections of oil pipelines should be securely capped or blank-flanged when not in service or standby service for an extended time. This security practice should also apply to pipelines that are emptied of liquid content either by draining or by inert gas pressure.
(v) Facility lighting should be commensurate with the type and location of the facility. Consideration should be given to: (A) Discovery of spills occurring during hours of darkness, both by operating personnel, if present, and by non-operating personnel (the general public, local police, etc.) and (B) prevention of spills occurring through acts of vandal-

WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 76 of 153 OIL SPILL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES Situation:
Dry Ditch:
Construct an earth dam if the distance between the point of discharge and a point where it will meet a flowing stream has sufficient capacity to hold the volume of the spill and any water used to flush.
Ideal situation -
Use a back-hoe or bulldozer, if handy, to construct a pond for containment.
Possibly, a hand constructed earth dam can be shoveled into place to allow time for equipment to be brought to the scene.
The person or company causing the spill is responsible for restriction of any charges.
Examples; A roadside ditch 1000 feet long, 1 foot wide, and 1 foot deep will hold 7500 gallons of liquid. A constructed pond 10 foot square by 1 foot deep or a 5 foot square by 4 foot deep will also hold 750 gallons of liquid.
Reference Figure 1 Flow in Ditch, Creek or Small Stream:
A flowing stream calls for a three pronged attack:
- 1)
Roughly calculate (using the above method) the distance required to hold the additional oil on board the source of the spill in the roadside ditch and construct a dam using bales of straw.
Open one or two bales and spread some straw on the surface of the forming slick.
Straw will act as a collector since oil sticks to the straw.
The straw dam will then catch the oil by acting as an oil separator.
- 2)
Proceed downstream to a point where the oil has not reached.
Construct another straw dam using the same method as before.
This will catch any oil that has already passed the point of the first dam and any oil that may get through the first dam.
Always try to construct a dam at an accessible point to facilitate cleanup.
The best places are at road culverts and bridges.
- 3)
While some personnel are doing the first two steps, some personnel should try to determine if it is possible to stop the flow of material from the source by plugging holes, shutting off emergency valves, or closing fill hatches.
In some cases it was possible to place open topped 55 gallon drums under hatch covers and catch oil flowing from a hatch cover.
Septic tank pumpers with a vacuum line on their truck are generally available to pump oil from any catch basin, containment area, or from the truck itself if a flow cannot be stopped.
Reference Figures 2 & 3
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 77 of 153 Oil in a Flowing Stream:
Emergency oil containment booms can be constructed from materials available to most fire companies.
The following figures show how to construct an emergency boom that can be used until a boom can be brought to the scene.
Construction -
Chicken wire (most commonly used) or any suitable fencing material is threaded with rope at the bottom and at least 6 inches from the water surface on the top and anchored to any available tree, post, or driven anchor stake.
The screening is then placed in the stream and allowed to deflect in an amount determined by the velocity of the current.
Additional guide stakes can then be driven into the creek bottom if shallow enough to lend extra support.
Straw bales are then broken and spread in front of the screening to form a barrier.
Oil, which has an affinity for straw, will stick to the straw and float, eventually being caught behind and constructed dam.
The unit constructed will act as an oil separator. Always make the current work for you.
Deflect the oil and straw combination to the slow side on curves and into any inlets or coves available eventual cleanup. Again, always try to construct the boom in an area where cleanup can readily occur.

3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 3.1 Site Location The WVDP site is located at the following address:
West Valley Demonstration Project 10282 Rock Springs Road West Valley, NY 14171
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 86 of 153 The WVDP, the site of a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) environmental cleanup activity operated by West Valley Nuclear Services Co. LLC (WVNSCO), is in the process of stabilizing liquid high-level radioactive waste that remained at the site after commercial nuclear fuel reprocessing had been discontinued. The project is located in Western New York State, about 30 miles south of Buffalo, NY.
The WNYNSC is a 1,335-hectare (3,300 acres) reservation owned by the State of New York.
The WVDP is located on a 220 acre parcel within the WNYNSC (see Figure 2-1).
The WVDP is currently focusing on several goals that will lead to eventual site closure: 1) cleaning up facilities not currently used; 2) preparing for the shipment of Spent Nuclear Fuel; and 3) shipping low-level waste.
The Security Center (guard house) is staffed around the clock and seven days a week.
In addition to controlling traffic, the Security Center houses the alarm system that monitors plant conditions.
3.2 Site Topography and Drainage See SPCC Plan -
Section 4.2 3.3 Storm Sewer System See SPCC Plan -
Section 4.3 3.4 Spill History During the history of the WVDP under both NFS and DOE, there have been no documented occurrences of environmentally catastrophic spills causing significant harm to the environment.
However, there have been several on-site spills which have been documented.
Examples are as follows: A hazardous material leak occurred in June 1984, when the underground caustic transfer pipe between caustic storage Tank 14D-2 and the LLWTF released up to 3,800 liters of a 50 percent sodium hydroxide solution.
This spilled material was routed into the LLWTF lagoon system, where it was neutralized prior to discharge via SPDES Outfall 001.
The leaking pipe was excavated, repaired, and pressure-tested prior to being returned to service.
A spill of radioactive wastewater occurred on March 15, 1985.
This incident involved the release of approximately 500 gallons of radioactive condensate.
The spill occurred during the transfer of HLW tank farm off-gas condensate from Tank 8D-1 to HLW storage tank 8D-2.
It resulted from a corroded flange in the transfer line.
The release was largely contained within the waste tank farm by erecting dams over drainage culverts to contain runoff and divert run-on.
The affected area was decontaminated and the lines repaired and tested.
There have been no reportable spills at the WVDP within the past five (5) years.
Spills of hazardous material/hazardous waste are reported to NYSDEC if the amount of spill exceed reportable quantity.

WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 104 of 153 4.3 High Level Waste Tanks 8D-1 and 8D-2 4.3.1 Construction High level waste (HLW) tanks 8D-1 and 8D-2 are carbon steel and located in adjacent waterproofed, reinforced, underground concrete vaults (the tops of the vaults are 2.4 m underground) in the highly impermeable silty till characteristic of the area.
Each tank has a capacity of 2.8 million liters and rests on a 30 cm layer of perlite blocks, which is on 7.6 cm layer of pea gravel in a carbon steel pan 23 m in diameter and 1.6 min height, within the concrete vault.
The pan rests on a second 7.6 cm layer of pea gravel on the vault floor.
The vault pad is 69 cm thick, with a thicker ring under the columns that support the vault roof.
The vault pad rests on a 10 cm leveling slab.
Under the concrete vault is a 1.2 m layer of pea gravel that is kept saturated with water to prevent effects of distortion of the silty till.
4.3.2 Instrumentation Tanks 8D-1 and 8D-2 are equipped with level, pressure, and temperature indicators.
Level indicators and alarms are in the pans and vaults.
4.3.3 Operation Tank 8D-1 and 8D-2 are not operational as of February 2003.
Tanks are almost empty. A heel of about 8,000-10,000 gallons of wastewater is in the.tanks.
Previously operation of the HLW tanks system was governed by SOP 08-01, Waste Tank Operation.
Various other SOPs govern the operation of waste tank farm support systems.
Tank 8D-2 contained mixed HLW Sludge (PUREX and THOREX).
The composition of the PUREX sludge is provided in Table 4.3.5 and the composition of THOREX waste is in Table 4.4.5.
Measured variables are monitored and recorded once per shift.
Monitoring will be curtailed to once a week in the near-future.
Tank 8D-1 contains zeolite columns used in stripping radioactive cesium from the supernatant and spent cesium-loaded zeolite.
All interconnecting pipes and support systems are double contained.
High-level waste (neutralized) was stored in a carbon steel tank, 8D-2 (the maximum total, volume,of tanks 8D-1 and 8D-2 is administratively controlled at 720,000. gallons to ensure the contents can be fully'stored in one tank).
The tank sits in a carbon steel pan. Both the tank and pan are enclosed in a concrete vault and have instrumentation to monitor the level in the tank and detect any leaks into the pan or vault.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 105 of 153 Tank 8D-1 was used for temporary storage of spent zeolite from STS processing operations.
The spent zeolite was transferred in batches to tank 8D-2 for further treatment.
The combined purex, thorex, and zeolite wastes were transferred from 8D-2 to the Vitrification Facility.
The Vitrification Facility was shutdown on September 5, 2002.
4.3.4 Spill Containment The HLW tanks are provided with secondary containment consisting of a carbon steel pan below each tank, a reinforced concrete vault surrounding each tank and pan, and highly impermeable, saturated silty till surrounding the
- vaults, The pan under each tank contains a level indicator and high-level alarm that detects leakage from groundwater, the storage tank, or the transfer piping.

-4.4 Tanks 8D-3 and 8D 4 4.4.1 Construction Tanks 8D-3 and 8D-4 are located in a single reinforced underground concrete vault with outside dimensions of 9.8 m by 5.8 m by 7.7 m high.
The vault is surrounded by silty till and covered with an earth layer approximately 2.4 m thick.
The vault is lined to a height of 46 cm with stainless steel, which forms a pan, which is equipped with a sump.
The storage tank-(8D-4) and its spare 8D-3) are similar in construction and instrumentation.
The tanks are composed of 304 and 304L stainless steel and have a nominal capacity of 57,000 liters.
They-were designed for a working
-volume of 51,000 liters (90 percent of nominal capacity).
Tank 8D-4 originally contained about 45,000 liters of acidic
-thorium-bearing waste called THOREX.
The composition of the THOREX waste is provided in Table 4.4.5. The THOREX waste was transferred to tank 8D-2 in 1995. Tank 8D-4 is used to collect off-spec material and wastes from vitrification during melter operations.
4.4.2 Instrumentation Each tank is equipped with pressure and level indicators with remote read out and alarms.
Additionally, the stainless steel pan in which both tanks are situated is equipped with an alarmed sump.
4.4.3 Operation Tank 8D-3 is used as a holding tank for supernatant that has been processed through the zeolite system located in Tank 8D-1, prior to being transferred to Tank 5D-15B for volume reduction. The transfers are performed by Operations personnel according to SOPs. Measured variables are monitored and recorded once each shift. Tank 8D-3 is also used to collect condensate from the vitrification process off-gas.
4.4.4 Spill Containment If a spill or leak were to occur in either tank, the contents would enter the stainless steel pan, which is equipped with a sump alarm.
In.addition, the concrete vault provides tertiary containment of the pan and tank.
The sump is equipped with a steam transfer jet that can be valved to discharge to either tank.
In addition, the vault is surrounded by highly impermeable saturated silty till, which would prevent leakage out of the vault.

WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 108 of 153 4.5.2 Instrum6hntation All interceptors are equipped with high-level alarms that signal in the UR and sound locally.
4.5.3 Operation The neutralization pit is used to collect and measure the pH of low level waste from plant drains, sumps, etc., before
. overflowing to one of the two new interceptors, where it is held for sampling. -From the interceptors, the waste is transferred to Lagoon 2. From Lagoon 2 it is pumped to the Low Level Waste Treatment (LLWT) plant, where it is treated.
SOP 15-1 and 15-13, "Management of Plant Liquid Releases",
and" Interceptor Operation", respectively, contain the procedures for the operation of this system.
Waste streams which may be over the specified limit for release from the interceptor are diverted directly to the old interceptor.
From there they are sampled and transferred, in batches, to one of the new interceptors.
Interceptor effluent volume is normally checked twice a day.
Records of volume measurements are maintained by Main Plant Operations.
4.5.4 Spill Containment There is an overflow connection between the north and south interceptors.
Should one interceptor become too full, it would overflow into the other.
In addition, if one of the interceptors became full, the high-level alarm would sound in the UR.

The two-foot concrete walls provide a berm capacity of approximately 62,000 liters, exceeding the capacity of the largest single tank of 41,635 liters (additional tank capacities are provided in Table 4-1).
In addition, the Caustic Hold Tank (65-D-06) is sufficiently bermed to prevent mixing of incompatible substances.
The Nitric Acid Hold Tank (65-D-05) has a separate berm with a capacity of less than the total volume of the tank.
However, in the event of a total loss of the tank contents the-excess nitric acid would remain isolated from the caustic tank by overflowing into the bermed area of the Cold Chemical Building, and therefore would remain contained.
The building floor is sloped so that any liquid would flow to a central catch drain, and then would flow to a sump that is equipped with an alarm.
Liquids accumulated in the sump would be logged and pumped to Tank 65-D-01.
4.8.6 Anhydrous Ammonia Storage Tank (64-D-004)
This tank has been emptied and residual ammonia evacuated after the.shutdown of the melter.
The anhydrous ammonia storage tank is a 3,785-liter steel, upright cylinder located outside of the 01-14 building on.the north side.
The ammonia
-was utilized in the Ex-cell Off-Gas System to reduce NOx
>emissions.-The tank is equipped with level indicators, high and low level alarms, pressure relief, pressure gauge, pressure relief, and-a fire suppression system.
A solenoid operated shut-off valve is located in the ammonia feed line so ammonia feed can be abruptly suspended if required.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 113 of 153 Ammonia vapor sensors were placed at multiple locations to determine the migration of ammonia vapors from the tank's location in the event of a tank or piping failure.
The sensors were located at the ammonia tank and at other strategic locations.
These area sensors have been removed.
4.9 Supernatant Treatment System Tanks 4.9.1 Tanks and Vessels in Tank 8D-1 The following Supernatant Treatment System (STS) tanks and vessels are located in Tank 8D-1:
O Ion exchange columns (50-C-001, 50-C-002, 50-C-003, and 50-C-004)
O Prefilter 50-F-001)

° Supernatant Cooler 50-E-001)
° Supernatant Feed Tank (50-D-001) 0 Sluice Lift Tank (50-D-004)
STS operations are closely controlled by a series of SOPs prepared specifically for STS operations (SOPs in the 50-xxx series), and STS systems are monitored by a programmable logic controller.
The contents of these vessels are filter media and zeolite ion exchange media that were used to remove Cesium from the PUREX supernatant, two sludge wash solutions and the PUREX/THOREX wash solutions. The containment for these vessel's is Tank 8D-1 and its previously described layers of containment.
4.9.2 Tanks and Vessels in the Valve Aisle Tanks 50-D-005 and 50-D-006, which are stainless steel, are located in the STS Valve Aisle.
They function as backflow prevention vessels in the event of process upsets.
In the event of a spill, any liquid would drain to the valve aisle sump, which in turn is pumped to Tank 8D-2.
4.9.3 Tanks and Vessels in the Operating Aisle The Brine Chiller Expansion Tank (50-D-008) and the Brine/Heat Exchanger (50-E-002) are stainless steel tanks located in the STS Operating Aisle within a 2,250-liter capacity concrete berm.
The berm is equipped with a sump that is manually pumped to the Operating Aisle sump, then to 8D-1.

-The LWTS consists of a water treatment system utilizing ion exchange and evaporation.
LWTS operated to volume reduce decontaminated PUREX supernatant, two sludge wash solutions and the PUREX/THOREX wash solutions-and supported vitrification processing which was concluded in September 2002.
The LWTS-includes the tanks and vessels listed below:
4.10.1 Tank 35104 Tank 35104 is a 22,000-liter tank made of 304 L stainless steel in a vault attached to the General Crane Room (GCR) in the process building.
It can also receive liquid waste which has been processed through the STS (constituents listed in
-Table 4.3.5, minus cesium).
Tank 35104 receives liquid from the HEV drain system (i.e., shield door drains). A spill or leak in the tank would be revealed by the tank level indicator and cell sump level indicator and alarm.
Released materials would be contained within the GCR sump.
Tank level is indicated and recorded on the LWTS control panel.
A tank high level or low level would signal in the LWTS control room. A high level-in the pump pit would activate an alarm in the LWTS control room.
4.10.2 Tanks Located Within the Liquid Waste Cell The following tanks are located within the Liquid Waste Cell (LWC):
O Sample Collection Tank (3D-2)
O Rework Evaporator Feed Tank (7D-8)
O PMC and GPC Sump Collector (4D-10)
O Radioactive Waste Catch Tank (4D-13)
O Low Level Waste Collection Tank (7D-2)
O Radioactive Waste Catch Tank (4D-8)
O Hot Analytical Drain Tanki(7D-14) o Radioactive Waste Catch Tank (13D-7)
O
- Cell-Sump Receiver (13D-8)
All these tanks are equipped with level indicators and alarms.
Any tank overflow would discharge via the vent line into Tank 6D-3 in the Off-Gas Cell (OGC). If a release should occur from Tank 6D-3, it would be contained within the OGC, which is equipped with a sump.
Any tank leak from the above tanks would be contained in the LWC sump.
An eductor is used to transfer the sump contents to Tank4D-10. The contents of Tank 4D-10 could then be transferred to Tank 7D-2.

WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 120 of 153 4.13.4 Main 2 Warehouse -1 The Main 2 Warehouse contains five (5) engineered segregated storage areas for corrosives, acids, oxidizers, flammables, and health hazards (poisons).
Each storage area is equipped with a 6-inch deep basin below a steel grate floor to contain spills.
Each area also has a separate ventilation system and fire suppression system-and alarm.
The flammable storage area also contains explosion-proof doors and blowout panels built into the walls. Materials stored in these areas will be in their original shipping containers,-and no container larger than 5 gallons in capacity will be stored in the Flammable Storage Room.
4.14 Hazardous Waste Satellite Accumulation Areas As part of the WVDP Hazardous Waste Management Program, Satellite Accumulation Areas (SAA)s have been established at or near the point of generation of identified hazardous and mixed wastes.
Spills or leaks from containers in the SAAs will be confined to the immediate area of the containers.
Each of these SAAs is located within or adjacent to an active work area and is subject to frequent observation by workers in the area.
Moreover, all of the SAAs incorporate secondary containment measures.
Such measures include encloser within-a cabinet, tray or box, or building curbing with the associated building drainage control system. The most current list of SAAs is retained by Waste Management Services (WMS).
4.15 Interim Waste Storage Facility (IWSF)
The Interim Waste Storage Facility (IWSF) functions as a temporary storage facility for wastes.
The IWSF is a pre-engineered metal structure measuring approximately 34 feet x 34 feet.
It is supported by a clear span frame and anchored to abermed, concrete slab foundation. An 8 inch high concrete curb encloses the inner perimeter, providing approximately 21,630 liters of secondary containment capacity in the event of a spill or leak.
Fifty-five-gallon drums and smaller containers of wastes are stored within the building temporarily.
There is a refrigerator to preserve samples within the structure. A complete inventory and floor plan of wastes contained within the building is maintained and updated routinely by the Waste Management-Services-Department. The building is provided with a fire suppression system that automatically activates in the event of a fire.
Inspections are completed weekly and monthly.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 121 of 153 4.16 Four (4) Hazardous Waste Lockers The Hazardous Waste Lockers are pre-engineered lockers containing segregated containers up to and including 55 gallon drums of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.
Each locker is identical in size, with dimensions of 8 ft x 15 ft x 8 ft.

All containers in the Lag Facilities are placed on pallets or are constructed with integral pallets to permit movement with forklift trucks.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 122 of 153 The physical description of the facilities is as follows:
4.18.1 Lag Storage Building (LSB)
LSB is a pre-engineered metal structure (a "Butler"-style building) located approximately 400 feet northeast of the Process Building.
The building is supported by a clear span frame and anchored to a 140-foot-long x 60 foot-wide concrete slab foundation.
A 4-inch-high curb, poured monolithically with the floor, extends around the outer edge of the floor, providing 2,800 cu ft of containment for spills.
A.
Storage Capacity The LSB itself provides approximately 46,800 cu ft of storage and operations.
This does not include the volume taken up by areas in the building not available for storage of wastes.
The inventory of wastes for shipout or storage varies extensively, due to waste being placed for temporary storage (pending volume reduction, processing, treatment or evaluation) as well as for longer term storage (pending determination of a final disposal/long term storage location). Lag also houses Low-Level Waste and Mixed Waste as well as Transuranic and Suspect Transuranic Wastes.
B.
Spill Containment There is approximately 2,800 cu ft of storage available within the containment berm.
Discounting the volume of containers and supports within the bermed area there is approximately 2,100+/- cu ft available for the containment of leakage or spills from the containers.
4.18.2 Lag Storage Addition #1 (LSA #1)
LSA #1 is a pre-engineered metal frame and fabric structure used to store containerized waste.
The wastes stored in this facility are essentially the same as those stored in the LSB, with the exception that no transuranic (TRU) wastes will be stored in here.
LSA-#1 measures 50 feet x 191 feet x 23 feet.
It provides a total of 40,500 cu ft of storage capacity.
The volume in this facility fluctuates due to the dual function of the storage facility.
Some wastes are held temporarily, pending volume reduction, processing, treatment, or evaluation.
The majority of the wastes have been subject to the above processes and will remain in the facility until closure.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 123 of 153 4.18.3 Lag Storage Additions #3 and #4 LSA #3 is a pre-engineered metal structure and LSA #4 is a pre-engineered metal frame and enclosure.
The two structures are of identical size, 88 feet x 291 feet.
They function as low level, mixed waste storage facilities.
They are located at the north end or the site, near the LSB and LSA #1.
A.
Storage Capacity LSA #3 provides approximately 161,000 cu ft of storage volume while LSA #4 provides approximately 133,000 cu ft of storage volume.
The volume of storage in the two buildings will also fluctuate mildly due to addition and removal for processing.
B.
Secondary Containment Design LSA #3 & #4 are both equipped with a concrete slab floor, bordered by a six (6) inch high x eight (8) inch thick berm. providing approximately 12,804 cu ft of containment. Utilizing a conservative assumption that containers with free liquids make up only twenty percent (20%) of the storage volume, and that the volume of free liquids in these containers is only twenty percent (20%), there would only be 643.4 cu ft of free liquids within LSA #3, and 662.4 cu ft in LSA
- 4. 6NYCRR 373-2.9(f) (1) (iii) [40 CFR 264.175(B) (3)]
requires that storage areas provide "sufficient capacity to contain ten percent (10%) of the volume of containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater.
Containers that do not contain free liquids need not be considezed in this determination."
The 12,804 cu ft that is provided in each instance is greater than the 643.68 cu ft for LAS
- 3 or 662.4 cu ft for LSA #4 that are required by the regulation.
Any containers that will contain essentially all free liquids will be overpacked or double contained, and consequently will require no additional secondary containment.
C.
Spill Collection and Removal and Fire Protection Each of the facilities, LSB, LSA #1, LSA #3, and LSA #4 are provided with at least two (2) spill kits to contain, collect and remove, for appropriate disposal, any liquid that may leak or be spilled in the contained areas.
Lag storage facilities are equipped with a fire detection system consisting of both heat detectors and smoke detectors.
Fire extinguishers are also provided in all of the areas.

WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 124 of 153 D.
Lag Inspections All Lag storage facilities and Hardstands are inspected at least weekly (RCRA requirement), looking for leakage, corrosion, punctures and any other conditions that might-adversely affect the storage area(s).
The procedure for inspection of the Lag Storage Facilities is detailed in-SOP 09-24, "Lar Storacre Inspection."
In essence, the procedure requires monthly inspections of LLW and TRU waste containers as well as a monthly structural inspection of-the Lag facilities.
A weekly inspection of mixed waste is also performed. In the event that any of the conditions noted above are found, the operator conducting the inspection is to notify the Radiation Protection Operations Department Manager and his/her supervisor for further instructions.
4.18.4 Chemical Process Cell Waste Storage Area (CPC-WSA)
The CPC-WSA is a graveled pad covered with a metal structure.
'The storage area inside this structure measu-res 50 x 188 x 24 feet.
The CPC-WSA wastes are contained in 22 separate sealed boxes.
The storage array is surrounded by 46 concrete hexagons measuring approximately 6 feet across the flats by 10 feet high.
The boxes stored in the CPC-WSA contain process vessels, pipes, jumpers and debris removed from the Chemical Process-Cell during decontamination operations.
(8 of these boxes contain mixed wastes.
There
~are also 35 containers of mixed waste in 10 of the
-46 concrete hexagonal sure packs.
In addition there are
.13 large Size Reduction (SR) and Special Design (SP) waste boxes stored inside at the eastgand west ends of the building.
4.18.5 Drum Cell The Drum Cell is an at-grade shielded storage facility for cement-stabilized, decontaminated supernatant.
The drum cell is located south east of the Process Building.
The drum cell consists of 20-inch thick concrete shield walls that extend 15 ft above a gravel pad.
The shield walls and the pad are founded on a 5-foot thick compacted clay base separated from the gravel by geotextiles.
The drum cell is covered by a heated, steel-sided, steel-framed building.
The waste is packaged in gallon square steel drums that are specially designed to minimize free air space.
Due to the stabilized, nonhazardous characteristic of the waste, the drum integrity, and the containment procedures,
- this unit does not required a RCRA evaluation for the release of hazardous waste or hazardous-constituents.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 125 of 153 4.18.6 HIC Storage Area The High Integrity Container (HIC) storage area is located approximately 50 ft. north of the Fuel Receiving and-Storage (FRS) building and approximately 100 ft. east of the Vitrification Treatment Facility.
Five HICs containing radioactive spent filter media from the FRS pool waste water recirculation unit, rest on a limestone pad.
Each RADLOK HIC is constructed of high density, cross-linked polyethylene, with an approximate capacity of 125 cubic ft.
The HICs are individually overpacked in 9 ft. x 9 ft. 6,000 psi concrete containers reinforced with fabric and reinforcing steel called SUPERPACKS One of the 8 HIC's currently in storage contains mixed waste.
4.18.7 Contact Size-Reduction Facility The Contact Size-Reduction Facility (CSRF) is primarily used for volume-reduction of large low-dose rate (<100 mR/hr) equipment resulting from WVDP decontamination activities in the main plant.
The CSRF is an approximately 25-feet long by 23-feet wide room in the Master Slave Manipulator (MSM) repair shop.
Large pipes and vessels are reduced by a variety of methods, including plasma-arc cutting, portable band saws, and abrasive cutting.
Metal decontamination is performed by either high-pressure water spray or by liquid abrasive decontamination spray.
Low Level Radioactive Waste packages to be processed in CSRF are staged in the north airlock pending a preliminary radiation survey to verify the dose rate is within established limits.
Wastes that are determined to be acceptable for-processing are then transferred to the cutting room.
Following safe storag'e or removal of flammable material from the cutting room, equipment is size-reduced through the use of a plasma arc torch, band saw, or abrasive cutting and is then decontaminated, if necessary.
Following decontamination, material is air-dried and transferred to an airlock for final survey before it is packed and returned to the Lag Storage Facility for storage pending final disposition off-site.
Ventilation for the CSRF is provided by a room ventilation system and backed up by the Head End Ventilation (HEV) of the main plant.
Room ventilation is provided by a system mounted on the roof of the cutting room.
Room ventilation system air flows at a nominal rate of 2.8 cubic meters per second (6000 cubic feet per minute) from the south MSM repair shop, vestibules, and decontamination room into the cutting room, where it is exhausted through an in-cell spark arrestor and roughing filter and a roof mounted filter train consisting of a roughing filter and two HEPA filters in series prior to discharge to a locally mounted stack. Ventilation for the MSM decontamination shower booth and liquid abrasive decontamination system decon booth/survey glove box is provided by the HEV system.
(The HEV also provides backup ventilation for the various rooms when the cutting room ventilation discharges to the room ventilation system.)
The CSRF is also used for staging, sampling, sorting, consolidating and repackaging mixed waste containers, as required to meet the commitment and milestones under the WVDP Site Treatment Plan.
Containers of mixed wasted may be
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 126 of 153 stored at the CSRF while awaitingis6mpling and/or repackaging.
4.18.8 Waste Management Staging Area (WMSA)
The WMSA is the area designated for the storage of industrial waste and recyclable materials prior to off-site shipment.
The storage area-also functions as the non-radioactive lead bank, and as a supply-area for Waste Management Operations (WMO).
The building-is approximately 100 x 80 ft. and is located south of the Main 2 warehouse.
WMO conducts weekly inspections of the waste containers.
The WMSA may also be used for 90 day storage of hazardous waste and/or mixed waste pending disposition to an on-site storage area or shipment to off-site TSDF.
4.18.9 Remote-Handled Waste Facility (RHWF)
The RHWF is located in the northwest corner of the WVDP site, northwest of the STS Building and.southwest of the CPC WSA.
The RHWF is a free-standing structure with no structural reliance on other buildings or facilities at the WVDP site.
The RHWF is approximately 58.2 m (191 ft) long and 28.3 m (93-ft) wide.
The RHWF is being constructed.to physically accommodate the outer dimensions and weight of containers and waste items for 13 RHWF waste streams.
The RHWF will have nine major process features or areas as follows:
Receiving Area Buffer Cell Work Cell Contact Maintenance Area Sample Packaging and Screening Room Radiation Protection Operations Area Waste Packaging and Survey Area Operating Aisle Load Out/Truck Bay The four support system features or areas that are listed below are designed,to support the operations of RHWF:
Exhaust Ventilation Filter Room Exhaust Ventilation Blower Room Mechanical Equipment Area and Stack Monitor Room Office Area
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 127 of 153 RHWF will have following utility systems in place:
Electrical Natural gas Utility air Steam Potable water supply Demineralized water supply Cooling water Sanitary sewer 5.0 POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, OR HAZARDOUS WASTE RELEASE SCENARIOS 5.1 Sources Potential sources of releases of hazardous substances, or hazardous waste include all the interim status storage facilities listed in Section 4.0.
However, no realistic potential exists for releases to the environment from facilities inside buildings.
Therefore, this section will only consider facilities not enclosed in buildings.
Some of these outdoor facilities are provided with secondary containment mechanisms such as containment basins and berms.
However, in the event of a release, all of the outdoor facilities would also be provided with containment by means of blockage of the spill migration pathway.
The remainder of this section focuses on spill migration pathways (including available locations for blockage) in the event of a spill from one of the outdoor tanks.
Underground tanks at the WVDP are maintained in compliance with state and federal underground storage tank requirements, which require leak prevention and detection by various means such as regular monitoring, cathodic protection, double containment, etc. However, this section will consider surface migration pathways due to spills as the result of over filling or discharging from these tanks.
In addition, the WVDP comprehensive groundwater monitoring program would also serve to identify any subsurface spill migration.
The monitoring includes collection of samples at regular intervals from areas that would likely be impacted by site activities.
Samples are analyzed for parameters that are based on process knowledge and extensive site characterization.
Parameters include radiological indicators and selected chemical analytes.

3.3 and 3.4) 6.1 Spill Response Euipment The warehouse maintains several types of spill recovery equipment as well as an inventory of general supplies useful in recovering spilled material.
Spill kits are maintained in all facilities on site where the potential for a spill exists.
General supplies stored in the Test and Storage Building include rubber gloves, boots, and chemical-resistant disposable suits, as well as respiratory protection equipment, goggles, and other personnel protective equipment.
- Lumber, plastic, sand, and Herculite are available to construct temporary berms.
Specific spill response equipment which includes clay sorbent material (speedy dry). and absorbent socks and pillows are available for use by Cattaraugus County Hazmat team.
Several sizes and types of overpack and salvage drums are also maintained in inventory.
In the event of a large spill or release to the environment, any on-site contractor with excavation equipment will be directed to deploy his earth moving equipment to cut off drainage ditches and culverts to contain spilled material.
The contractor's personnel are all trained in accordance with site requirements and therefore can immediately commence preventative and/or corrective work.
The Project also has several different types of pumps and a variety of surplus tanks available for recovery of large quantity spills.
HazMat response is provided by the Cattaraugus County HazMat Team through a mutual aid agreement with Cattaraugus County Emergency Services.
Spill response equipment are located at various locations on site (Appendix A).

WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 133 of 153 6.4 Spill Prevention and Emergency Procedure (40 CFR 265.56) (6NYCRR 373 -
3.3 (t))rSee Appendix A for Emergency Equipment on site)
The WVNSCO Site Services Manager is responsible for all spill prevention and for operation and maintenance of storage tanks under their cognizance.
Individual engineering departments are responsible for the design and engineering of the storage and containment facilities described in this Plan.
Individual Organizations are responsible for developing and implementing spill prevention and control training programs.
If a spill of hazardous substance or waste is identified at the WVDP, the initial response will be-to ensure employee safety, contain the material on-site, identify the source, and isolate or eliminate the source and clean-up the release material.
Notification of the spill will be provided to the DOE-WV using the "Substance Spill Release Report Form", WV-3516.
If the source of a spill is from a vendor tank truck, the DOT label will identify the material.
Additionally, DOT emergency response guidebooks are available for reference.
Multiple sources of information regarding chemical substances should be utilized in the event of a spill.
If containment around a given source were to fail, the spill can still be contained within the site boundaries by cutting off surface drainage from the area.
This can be done by placing earthen dams across drainage ditches or utilizing alternative spill containment devices.
Stopping the source of the spill may be performed by closing a valve on a transfer line or removing the material from the leaking tank.
In some cases, material removed from a tank could be transferred into a suitably equipped spare tank. This would also be the method for recovering spilled material retained in a spill pad or containment basin.
Responsibility for recovery from non-emergency spills (i.e., where there is no potential for off-site release or a threat to the safety of on-site personnel) resides with the WVNSCO Site Services Manager.
The manager will call upon the expertise of other WVNSCO management and staff as necessary to remediate the situation, and will also notify Environmental Affairs (EA), who will determine if subsequent off-site notifications are required.
The WVDP Emergency Plan (WVDP-022) will be implemented if a spill or hazardous material is of sufficient magnitude to threaten the safety of on-site personnel; or an off-site release of reportable quantities of hazardous materials (per 40 CFR 117).
If a release is imminent, EA will evaluate and if necessary notify the DOE-OH/WVDP, who in turn will notify the DOE-OH.
EA will notify Washington Group International Risk Management and the EPA, state, and local emergency response units as necessary.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 134 of 153 The WVDP Emergency Plan (WVDP-022) provides an organized plan of action that identifies authorities and responsibilities of emergency response personnel and organizations and identifies the manpower and equipment resources available to cope with emergencies at the WVDP.
WVDP-022 applies to emergency actions relative to radiological, hazardous, industrial, safeguards and security (theft of Special Nuclear Materials, threats or acts of violence, etc.), and natural phenomena emergencies at the WVDP.
The primary purpose of WVDP-022 is to minimize the impact of any emergency.upon the health and safety of plant personnel and the general public.
The WVNSCO President has the ultimate responsibility for all WVNSCO activities.. The WVNSCO President interacts with the DOE Project Director and off-site resources as appropriate for the mitigation of emergency conditions.
The President and/or his alternates serve as Emergency Director.
Emergency Response Organization Staffing Lists will be periodically updated and maintained in the WVDP Emergency Management Implementing Procedures Manual (WVDP-139).
The WVNSCO President will retain responsibility and authority for assessment and mitigation of emergency conditions at WVDP unless relieved by higher authority.
With regard to emergencies, the Emergency Director shall:
- 1.
Maintain executive control of all emergency situations affecting WVDP operations;
- 2.
Activate the WVDP Emergency Operations Center and WVDP Emergency Response Organization (WVDP-ERO) as needed;
- 3.
Oversee emergency response actions utilizing personnel and resources to mitigate consequences of the emergency;
- 4.
Authorize site-wide evacuation of personnel, if needed;
- 5.
Activate WVNSCO personnel, as needed;
- 6.
Maintain WVNSCO succession of authority;
- 7.
Authorize obtaining assistance from off-site organizations such as hospitals, health departments, highway departments, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, ambulance services, etc., as needed;
- 8.
Authorize mutual aid or other emergency assistance from off-site agencies or organizations, as needed; and
- 9.
Recommend to the DOE Project Director notification of off-site local, county, and state officials in the event of releases of hazardous material to the environment that may affect persons or property-outside, the site boundary.
DOE-OH/WVDP will notify DOE-OH and bOE-HQ, and DOE-OH assistance will be requested, as needed.
EA will determine if the situation warrants notification of the EPA or National Response Center for spills of oil, hazardous materials or hazardous wastes.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 135 of 153 F6r the purpose of RCRA Contingency planning, the WVDP ERO does not have one specific individual who fulfills the duties and responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator as defined in 40 CFR 265 Subpart D and 6 NYCRR Part 373-3.4; the position is vested'in several members of the ERO.
The functions of the Emergency Coordinator are carried out by the Emergency Director (ED), the Notification Officer (NO), the DOE Project Director (DOE-PD), NYSERDA, the DOE Communicator, the Radiological Assessment Manager (RAM), the Environmental Assessment Manager (EAM), and the Incident Commander (IC).
In accordance with RCRA Contingency-Plan requirements, the emergency Coordinator ensures that monitoring occurs for leaks, pressure build-up, gas generation or ruptures in valves, pipes or personnel capable of performing decontamination activities in addition to medical care.
Whenever aWVDP emergency occurs, the Emergency Director may activate Emergency Response Organization personnel or their designated alternates.
This group provides administrative and technical assistance to the Emergency Director, as needed, and consists of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) staff, Technical Support Center (TSC) staff, Operational Support Group, and Incident Commander Group.
The composition and functions of these groups are described in WVDP-022 and WVDP-139.
On off-shifts, the responsibility for emergency direction for the WVDP rests with the Plant System Operations Shift Supervisor (PSOSS) until relieved by higher authority.
The PSOSS is the Incident Commander during emergency events where fire and health concerns are paramount, i.e., radiological, chemical, toxic releases, etc.; when natural emergencies, e.g., high winds, blizzards, flooding, earthquakes, tornados, etc., present actual or imminent threats; or during security emergencies.
Regardless of the size or severity of a spill, once the situation has been stabilized, recovery measures will be implemented.
Equipment will be repaired or replaced and contaminated areas will be cleaned-up.
Contaminated wastes generated during these operations will be managed in accordance with SOP 300-07 "On-Site Waste Generation Packaging and Transportation."
6.5 Notifications In the event of a spill or other release hazardous substances, or hazardous wastes, the notifications listed below will be made.
Procedures are detailed in WV-915, "Spill/Release Notification and Reporting".
0 The individual discovering the release will notify the Shift Supervisor in charge of the affected area.
The Shift Supervisor of the affected area will notify the PSOSS.
The PSOSS will notify EA as soon as possible.
If there is any question of personal safety, the individual should perform an "812-all page" to summon help immediately and keep others away from the area.

Materials shall be stored in such a manner as to prevent the occurrence of an extremely hazardous situation (fire, explosion, release of toxic fumes, etc.) in the event of a spill or a leak.
Storage of hazardous materials must be in a designated area which meets requirements specified by the Regulatory and Compliance Program Manager.
These requirements will be determined based on the magnitude and'severity of the chemical hazards for the proposed facility.
The following general requirements will also apply for separation of incompatible chemicals.
6.6.7 Flammables - Highly flammable materials must be kept separated from explosives, powerful oxidizing agents, materials susceptible to spontaneous heating, or materials that react with moisture to evolve heat.
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 140 of 153 6.6.8 Oxidizing Aents -
The following classes of chemicals are known for their ability to supply oxygen, or in other words are strong oxidizing agents:
organic and inorganic peroxides, permanganates, perrhenates, chlorates, perchlorates, persulfates, organic and inorganic nitrites, organic and inorganic nitrates, iodates, periodates, bromates, perselenates, perbromates, chromates, dichromates, ozone, and perborates.
In addition to storing these materials separate from flammable/combustible materials, they should be kept separate from strong reducing agents.
6.6.9 Water Sensitive Materials -
Some materials react with water, water solutions, or steam to evolve heat or flammable/
explosive gases.
Examples include lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, rubidium, cesium, alloys and amalgams of the above, hydrides, nitrides, sulfides, carbides, borides, silicides, and concentrated acids and alkalies.
This should be taken into consideration in fighting fires involving these chemicals.
6.6.10 Acid Sensitive Materials -
Fire and explosive hazards exist from materials which react with acids and acid fumes to evolve heat, hydrogen, and flammable or explosive gases.
These include lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, rubidium, cesium, alloys and amalgams of the above, hydrides, nitrides, sulfides, carbides, borides, silicides, tellurides, selenides, arsenides, phosphides, concentrated alkalies, cyanides, and metals.
6.6.11 Corrosives -
Corrosive materials include acids, acid anhydrides, and alkalies.
These have the ability to destroy their containers (if inappropriate containment vessels are used) and escape to the atmosphere.
Some of these materials are volatile.
Others may react violently with moisture.
Corrosives should be isolated from sulfides, sulfites, cyanides, arsenides, tellurides, phosphides, borides, silicides, carbides, fluorides, and selenides.
Reactions with these chemicals can produce toxic fumes.
In addition to storing incompatible chemicals separately, other general safety practices are to be followed.
For example, adequate ventilation shall exist in all areas where chemicals are stored in appreciable quantities.

WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 149 of 153 APPENDIX D Inspection and Record Keeping
WVDP-043 Rev. 10 Page 150 of 153 INSPECTIONS AND RECORDKEEPING All outdoor aboveground tanks and their associated spill containments are in frequented areas where leaks would be obvious to the normal traffic of operators.
Inspection of above ground tanks are checked each shift and findings are recorded on standard operating procedure data sheets.
These sheets are signed and dated by the operator taking the readings and is reviewed and initialed by the shift supervisor.
These data sheets are placed in the operations file by the shift supervisor.
Most on-site tanks and vessels are contained within buildings or other structures.
Many of these vessels are equipped with level indicators. The operation of these vessels is covered in SOPs, run plans, etc.
Monitoring and inspection of this equipment is part of the procedures.
Monitoring and inspection of the SAAs, Hazardous Waste Storage Lockers (HWSLs), and the IWSF are covered in SOPs addressing these specific matters.
In addition, weekly inventory logs and inspection logs are maintained for areas served by the 90-day areas.
These logs allow for a continuous monitoring of the types and quantities of hazardous wastes generated and stored on-site and provide documentation of the physical integrity of containers in the 90-day areas.
Also, the site security force performs routine inspections of all areas of the site.
These personnel are directed to report any unusual occurrences such as strange odors, leaking tanks or containers, etc., to the shift supervisors for follow-up investigation.
RCRA records are stored on-site in accordance with WVDP-257 and WV-733.
