Performance Work Statement

C.01 MOAB PROJECT OVERVIEW

C.1.1 BACKGROUND

The DOE Moab Project Site is approximately 3 miles northwest of the City of Moab in Grand County, Utah, and includes the former Atlas Minerals Corporation (Atlas) uranium-ore processing facility. The site is situated on the west bank of the Colorado River at the confluence with Moab Wash. The site encompasses approximately 435 acres, of which approximately 130 acres are covered by the uranium mill tailings pile.

The processing facility was constructed in 1956 by the Uranium Reduction Company, which operated the facility until 1962 when the property was sold to Atlas. Atlas operated the site until 1984 under a license and regulatory authority provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in accordance with Title II of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA). When the processing operations ceased in

1984, approximately 16 million tons (12 million cubic yards) of uranium tailings or residual radioactive material (RRM) (the term RRM is used throughout the contract in accordance with Title 40 Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR) Part 192 to reference the tailings and other contaminated materials, including debris, from uranium/vanadium processing) and contaminated soil had been stored in an unlined impoundment located in the northwest portion of the property.

Atlas proposed to reclaim the tailings pile for permanent disposal in its current location. As a result of the

Atlas proposal, the NRC developed an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that focused primarily on on-site reclamation of the mill tailings. Atlas declared bankruptcy in 1998, and in doing so, relinquished its license and forfeited its reclamation bond. Because NRC could not legally possess a site it regulated, NRC appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers as the trustee of the Moab Mill Reclamation Trust and the licensee for the site. The trustee used the forfeited reclamation bond funds to initiate site reclamation, conduct ground water studies, and perform site maintenance activities.

The Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001, Public Law 106-398 (the

Act) stipulated that the license issued by NRC for the materials at the Moab Site be terminated and that the title and responsibility for cleanup be transferred to the DOE. Title to the site was transferred to DOE on

October 25, 2001. Specifically, the EM Office in Grand Junction, Colorado, now has primary responsibility for the Moab Site. The Moab UMTRA Project (Moab Project) is responsible for the remediation of the

Moab site, in accordance with surface cleanup standards specified in 40 CFR 192, Subpart A – Standards for the Control of Residual Radioactive Materials from Inactive Uranium Processing Sites, Subpart B – Standards for Cleanup of Land and Buildings Contaminated with Residual Radioactive Materials from Inactive Uranium

C-2

Processing Sites, and Subpart C – Implementation. The Moab Project is subject to 10 CFR 835, Occupational Radiation Protection.

The Act further designated that the Moab Site undergo remediation in accordance with Title I of the

UMTRCA, though certain sections of UMTRCA shall not apply. In accordance with the Act, DOE developed a Draft Plan for Remediation that evaluated DOE’s remediation decision-making process and related technical issues. DOE approved the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on July 25, 2005, which fulfilled the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirement of considering the full range of reasonable alternatives and associated environmental effects of significant federal actions. The preferred alternative identified in the FEIS included relocation of the tailings and associated wastes to the Crescent

Junction off-site waste disposal site using rail transportation as the primary transportation mode, with active ground water remediation. A Record of Decision (ROD) identifying the final remedy, consistent with the

FEIS preferred alternative, was published on September 14, 2005. An Amended Record of Decision for the

Remediation was approved in February 29, 2008. The ROD Amendment increased the flexibility to relocate the residual RRM using rail or truck.

C.1.2 PURPOSE

The scope of the Moab Project is to relocate mill tailings, associated wastes, and other contaminated materials from the former uranium-ore processing facility site (presently the Moab Site), and contaminated materials from one off-site vicinity property in Moab, Utah, to a DOE-constructed engineered disposal facility near Crescent Junction, Utah. The scope includes the maintenance of facilities, grounds, and railroad structures at the Moab Site and the Crescent Junction disposal cell, necessary to continue relocation of the mill tailings and associated wastes. The purpose of this End State Contract is two-fold: first, to achieve

Project completion by completing the cleanup of the Moab site, including the excavation of the tailings pile site and remediation of the contaminated sub-pile below the tailings pile. Project completion includes completing the installation of the disposal cell final cover, and restoration of the Moab and Crescent Junction sites.

The second purpose of this End State Contract is to achieve a significant reduction to risk and financial liability through provision of the best overall optimal solution for accelerated Project completion and closure. The DOE’s goal is to efficiently optimize the scope, cost, and schedule associated with performance of all work while ensuring quality and protecting the safety of the workers, environment, and the public.

This will reduce EM’s environmental liability, which will result in meeting the Department’s strategic goals sooner. To this end, the annual amount of RRM tonnage remediated per year may vary throughout the contract ordering period based on the Contractor’s Closure Strategy if varying the remediation tonnage will reduce lifecycle environmental risk and financial liability to the maximum extent practicable.

C.02 PROJECT SUPPORT PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
