PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

C.0 OVERVIEW

A contract is required to manage and operate the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) and implement portions of the DOE National Transuranic (TRU) Waste Program (NTP) as directed by the DOE Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO). The Contractor’s portions of the NTP are described in Section C.2, Central Characterization Project (CCP) and Section C.3, Transportation of this PWS. WIPP’s mission is the permanent disposal of defense-generated TRU waste.

WIPP is located in a 16 square mile (approximately 10,240 acre) area owned by the DOE, as authorized by Public Law 102-579, the WIPP Land Withdrawal Act (LWA), as amended by Public Law 104-201 (H.R. 3230, 104th Congress), within Southeastern New Mexico. The WIPP site includes surface facilities and a geological repository located 2,150 feet below the surface.

The Property Protection Area (PPA) at the WIPP site within the LWA area encloses approximately 35 acres, and includes the majority of the buildings and structures. The area outside the fenced PPA consists mainly of otherwise undeveloped, high-desert terrain. Several administrative offices associated with WIPP and NTP administration are located in the city of Carlsbad, approximately 25 miles west of the WIPP site.

CBFO is responsible for administration of this contract and management of the NTP. The DOE Assistant Secretary for the Office of Environmental Management (EM) provides program direction to the CBFO. In addition to the WIPP Management and Operating (M&O) Contractor (hereafter referred to as “the Contractor”), the following contractor organizations constitute the CBFO Program Participants, along with other entities, for which CBFO provides funding to execute WIPP and NTP mission activities. Sandia National Laboratories – Carlsbad Programs Group (SNL-CPG) performs for CBFO the scientific studies and computational activities associated with the long-term performance of the WIPP. Los Alamos National Laboratory – Carlsbad Operations (LANL-CO) provides technical expertise on TRU waste characterization, acceptable knowledge, waste inventory to CBFO, and TRU waste generator site interface. The Carlsbad Technical Assistance Contractor (CTAC) provides technical, quality assurance, and administrative support to the CBFO, with the emphasis on conducting assessments and operational oversight. Other organizations are funded by the CBFO through assistance agreements and work authorizations agreements to perform specific tasks related to the WIPP mission.

In 1992, Congress passed the WIPP LWA which serves as a concise record of the steps required to establish WIPP, the major institutions involved, and basic requirements for disposal and decommissioning activities. The WIPP LWA established the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the primary regulator for WIPP with responsibility for evaluating and verifying that WIPP safely isolates TRU waste and protects human health and the environment. A dual regulatory framework exists for mixed-waste. The State of New Mexico’s authority to regulate the hazardous waste at WIPP is governed under the New Mexico Hazardous Waste Act (HWA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Under RCRA, the State of New

WIPP M&O – FINAL RFP SECTION C

C-2

Mexico is authorized to operate in lieu of the EPA; EPA does not regulate radioactive mixed wastes in those States with an authorized program. New Mexico is authorized by EPA under 50 Fed Reg 1515 (January 11, 1985). New Mexico implements this authority under the HWA, NMSA 1978, §74-4-1 et seq (Repl. Pamp. 2000). The specific New Mexico state agency that regulators hazardous waste at WIPP is the Hazardous Waste Bureau of the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED).

The EPA issued regulatory standards for waste containment (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 191) and WIPP specific criteria (40 CFR 194) that require DOE to provide information demonstrating that the standards are being met. The Compliance Certification Application (CCA) and the recurrent Compliance Recertification Application (CRA) document(s) WIPP’s ability to meet EPA’s requirements for waste containment. A new CRA is required for WIPP every five years by the LWA. CRA 2019 was submitted to EPA and is pending approval. Until a new application is recertified, the conditions and limitations of the prior application remain in effect.

The EPA certified the WIPP on May 18, 1998, and the disposal phase began on March 26, 1999, when the first shipment of waste was received. The disposal of mixed-TRU waste was authorized with the issuance of the WIPP Hazardous Waste Facility Permit (HWFP-WIPP’s RCRA Permit) by the NMED. This permit was originally issued on October 28, 1999 and is required to be renewed every ten years. A renewal application was submitted March 2020 and is pending. Until a new permit is issued, the conditions and limitations of the prior permit remain in effect. The Waste Analysis Plan (WAP), contained in the WIPP HWFP, specifies TRU waste characterization activities to be carried out at TRU waste generator/storage sites. TRU waste has been and shall continue to be shipped to WIPP from DOE Large Quantity Sites (LQS) and from Small Quantity Sites (SQS). TRU waste may be shipped inter-site for centralization, characterization, and/or treatment.

TRU waste shall be disposed of through the life of waste operations at the WIPP facility.

Following the disposal phase (DOE plans to close the repository when WIPP achieves a volume capacity of 175,600 cubic meters (6.2 million cubic feet) of TRU waste), the WIPP facility will enter its decommissioning phase estimated to last approximately five years. During the decommissioning phase the WIPP facility will be decontaminated and decommissioned and the shafts will be back-filled and sealed.

In the post-decommissioning phase, active institutional controls will be employed for at least 100 years to prevent human intrusion into the repository. Passive institutional controls including permanent markers shall warn future societies of the location and hazards of the disposal site.

C.0.1 Contract Purpose and Objectives

The purpose of this contract is to manage, operate and maintain the WIPP and to perform activities in support of the DOE’s NTP at locations directed by CBFO and as described in Sections C.2 and C.3. The overall objectives of WIPP are to operate safely and dispose of TRU waste, in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment and in compliance with WIPP program requirements and support the NTP by providing safe and compliant characterization and certification for transport, receipt, and disposal of TRU wastes at WIPP.
