The following have been added by full text:

ROUND 5 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. Per the Solicitation W912P4-15-R-0001, the site visit is not MANDATORY for us to submit a response. Please confirm.

Answer: The site visit held 20 January 2016 was not mandatory.

2. Section 3.4 Factor 4 –Small Business Participation states “It is the government’s minimum mandatory requirement that at least fifteen percent(15%) of the total contract value be directed to small business ( Inclusive of all self-performance by a small business prime offeror).” If a small business is a member of a Prime Entity JV/LLC with a Large Business, will the USACE consider in the evaluation ratings and calculation of small business participation (Volume 4 Factor 4-Small Business participation) , and in the small business participation calculations, work performed by small businesses that are part of the JV/LLC as small business performed work?

Answer: The Joint Venture many not claim any work performed by its small business JV partner as small business self-performed work. However, the work MAY be claimed as work to be subcontracted to small business under the following circumstances and dependent upon how the JV is organized.

1. If the JV is an unpopulated JV (meaning, the JV has no employees on its payroll – it effectively subcontracts its work needs back to either partner as identified in the JV agreement, depending on “who is doing what portion” of work): the JV may claim the portion of work that the small business partner of the JV performs as SUBCONTRACTED work to small business in its Small Business Participation Proposal but not as self-performed work.

2. If the JV is a “populated” JV, (meaning, the JV has its own separate employees. Those employees no longer work for either party to the JV. Instead, they are paid directly by the JV company itself): only the work OVER AND ABOVE that stipulated in the JV Agreement (type of work, percentage of work, etc.) that is performed by the JV itself may be counted as subcontracted work. The portion of work identified in the JV Agreement done by the small business partner in a populated JV is considered self-performed by the JV company and MAY NOT be claimed as either self- performed or subcontracted work by a small business on its small business participation proposal if the JV company is a large business under the NAICS code of the procurement. If the small business partner performs work not identified, or in excess to that listed in the JV, it may be claimed as subcontracted work to small business in its Small Business Participation Proposal. For instance, If the JV Agreement stipulates that the small business partner will perform 35% of the work and it actually performed 45%, 10% of which is not listed in the JV agreement, it may claim that additional 10% as work subcontracted to small business in its Small Business Participation Proposal, but not as self-performed by small business. The original 35% outlined in the JV Agreement is reported as self-performed by a large business (the JV company).

The offeror must produce and provide for examination, a copy of its legal JV agreement which identifies its organizational structure and whether it is populated or unpopulated and further identify the portions of work to be done by each party to substantiate its small business participation proposal as explained in paragraphs 1 and 2 above. In neither case may the JV firm claim any work performed by its small business partner as “self-performed” by small business in its Small Business Participation Proposal.

3. Please provide in Section M, evaluation criteria for Factor 3, Corporate Quality Assurance Program.

Answer: Section M, Paragraph 3.3 has been updated to state that the organizational and management approach may be rated more favorably by establishing a Corporate Quality Assurance Program (via the narrative) that demonstrates a fully independent program from all other site functions.

4. Section J, Attachment 2, Fully Burdened Labor Rates- Please confirm that labor categories Engineer/Scientist I would be defined as 0 to 5 years experience, II would be 5 to 10 years of experience and III would be 10+ of experience.

Answer: Attachment 2 has been removed from the solicitation via Amendment 3.

5. Reference: Section L; 2.7.2 Pages Counted: Each page will be counted except the following:

cover pages, executive summary, table of contents, title page, list of tables/figures/acronyms, glossaries, separator tabs, dividers, blank pages, Past Performance Questionnaires, appendices to Volumes 1, 2, 3 & 4, and Volume 5 in its entirety. Executive Summaries (although not required) must be limited to two pages. Separator tabs will only be marked with section / subsection identifiers. Any other information placed on the separator tabs will not be reviewed. Double sided pages are considered as two pages. NOTE: Proposals that exceed one hundred eighty

(160) pages will have only those pages that are within the page count limits evaluated. All information appearing thereafter will not be evaluated.

Question: The language in this Section implies two-page Executive Summaries are acceptable for each Volume. Please confirm.

Answer: See answer to Question 16 of Amendment 2.

6. Reference: Section C, 5.1.2.19 Final Status Survey Plan (FSSP): The CONTRACTOR must develop a Final Status Survey Plan (FSSP) based on MARSSIM and MARSAME principals to verify each completed remediation area meets the SLDA ROD limits for each ROC. A Report will be developed for each Survey Unit showing the results of the final compliance Gamma Walkover Surveys on a GIS Map along with the number and results of the confirmatory samples taken. Backfill operations will not begin until the Final Status Survey Report for that area is accepted by the USACE COR.

Question: Will the USACE COR perform an independent assessment of MARSSIM Final Status Survey area(s)? If so, please specify the time required for Sample Project #1 to perform such assessment(s).

Answer: The USACE will perform independent QA surveys. Offerors should assume the independent survey will take 5 working days.

7. Specification 02 61 13, Section 3.9.4, Hydraulic Conductivity references Table 2.2-2 for criteria however Table 2.2-2 was not found in the bid documents. Please provide Table 2.2-2 referenced in Specification 02 61 13, Section 3.9.4, Hydraulic Conductivity.

Answer: The reference to Table 2.2-2 has been removed.

8. Please provide additional information on utilities (electricity, water, sanitary, gas, telephone/internet, etc.) existing on and adjacent to the site? (location, available service providers, easements, etc.)

Answer: Electric service is provided by West Penn Power. Telephone service is provided by Verizon. Waste Management provides garbage collection services. Mr. John of Pittsburgh provides sanitary services.

9. Section 5.2.8 Radioactive Waste Analysis references “Revised SLDA Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Report, March 2010. Please provide a copy of that report.

Answer: See answer to Question 8 of Amendment 2.

10. Can a drawing showing the existing WWTP collection piping be provided?

Answer: USACE does not have as-built drawings for the wastewater collection system and pipeline.

11. Specification 02 61 13 Excavation and Handling of Contaminated Material references the following specifications that were not included in the RFP. Please provide the listed specifications.

1. 01 22 00.00 10 Measurement and Payment

2. 01 33 00 Submittal Procedures

3. 01 35 45.00 20 Chemical Data Control

4. 01 35 45.00.00.10 Chemical Data Control

5. 01 57 23 Temporary Storm Water Pollution Control

8. 01 35 45.00 20 Chemical Data Control

9. 31 11 00 Clearing and Grubbing

Answer: UFGS Section 31 11 00 has been added to the solicitation as Attachment 11.10.

References to all other UFGS sections listed above have been removed.

12. Section 02 61 13 refers to the following references that are not provided in the solicitation:

• SOW Attachment 3 – Analytical data summary

• SOW Attachment 2 – Soil Borings

• Figures 3 and 4 provided in SOW (excavation limits) Please provide these attachments and figures.

Answer: The references to SOW Attachments 2 and 3, and Figures 3 and 4 have been removed.

13. The list of required plans in Section 02 61 13 does not match Section C. Section 02 61 13 states there will be preliminary draft, draft, and final submittals of the work plans which is different from Section C that identifies just a draft and a final submittal. Please clarify.

Answer: The list of required plans has been removed from Section 02 61 13. Offeror’s should refer to Section C, 5.1.2 of the SOW and Attachment 7.1, Task Order 0001 PWS for the work plan requirements.

14. Section C, 6.1.9 requires that the Construction Quality Control System Manager have a college degree from an accredited school in engineering, construction management, geology, chemistry, or a related field. Because the RFP allows equivalent work experience as sufficient to meet formal training and/or education requirements for other positions (e.g., RSO), would the Government consider allowing equivalent work experience to meet the technical degree requirement for the CQCSM position?

Answer: The CQCSM must meet all of the stated qualifications.

15. We respectfully request that USACE provide the site Physical Security Plan referenced in Section C, 2.8 (e).

Answer: See answer to Question 4 of Amendment 2.

16. Section C, 6.1.14 states that “The CONTRACTOR must designate a Project Chemist, and if an on-site laboratory is proposed, a Lab Manager, responsible for overseeing environmental sampling, lab operations and assisting the Data Acquisition Manager in obtaining valid data.”

However, there is conflicting direction in Section 3.5.2 that states “the CONTRACT must have an on-site laboratory, along with access to trained chemists, standards, procedural testing references, instruments, and other furniture and apparatus must be described in the proposal.”

Please confirm that an on-site lab is required per section 3.5.2 and not an option to propose.

Answer: An on-site lab is required per section 3.5.2. The first sentence of Section C, part 6.1.14(a) has been revised as follows: “The CONTRACTOR must designate a Project Chemist, and a Lab Manager for the on-site laboratory, responsible for overseeing environmental sampling, lab operations and assisting the Data Acquisition Manager in obtaining valid data.”

17. For consistency with the proposed schedule for Sample Project #1, is the contractor authorized to reduce the duration for WBS element #331XX22, General Requirements?

Answer: The duration of WBS elements 331XX22, 331XX1920, 331XX0791, 331XX0792, and 331XX0507 may be changed to be consistent with the Offeror’s proposed schedule. All other WBS element quantities on the bid schedule must remain unchanged.

18. Please confirm our understanding of Section L, 1.5. Based on the high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition, we do not believe that certified cost or pricing data is required. If we provide sufficient data to CELRB other than certified cost or pricing data, as defined in FAR 2.101, does USACE consider that information adequate to determine fair and reasonable pricing to support a cost realism analysis?

Answer: Yes.

19. The following links lead to an error page that states “403 – Forbidden: Access is denied.”

Section 2.4, paragraph 3: https://tiny.army.mil/r/UHRY/ Section 3.7:https://tiny.army.mil/r/Loj2/ Please provide accessible links.

Answer: For Section 2.4. Replace reference to " https://tiny.army.mil/r/UHRY/" with:

http://www.publications.usace.army.mil/portals/76/publications/engineerregulations/er_1110-1- 8156.pdf

For Section 3.7. Replace reference to " https://tiny.army.mil/r/Loj2/" with:

http://www.lrp.usace.army.mil/missions/planning,programsprojectmanagement/keyprojects/shall owlanddisposalarea.aspx

20. Please clarify inconsistencies between Section C and the requirement references in the nine (9) Section L, 3.1.1 (5) bullets.

Answer: The references in Section L, §3.1.1(5) have been revised as follows: Permits / Licenses (Section C, §3.3); Radiological Materials and Equipment (Section C, §3.4).

21. Does USACE consider the contractor’s meeting DCGLs identified in the ROD and referenced in Section C, 2.3 as sufficient for site closure and satisfying ALARA requirements referenced in Section C, 2.5?

https://tiny.army.mil/r/UHRY/ https://tiny.army.mil/r/Loj2/ http://www.publications.usace.army.mil/portals/76/publications/engineerregulations/er_1110-1-8156.pdf http://www.publications.usace.army.mil/portals/76/publications/engineerregulations/er_1110-1-8156.pdf http://www.lrp.usace.army.mil/missions/planning,programsprojectmanagement/keyprojects/shallowlanddisposalarea.aspx http://www.lrp.usace.army.mil/missions/planning,programsprojectmanagement/keyprojects/shallowlanddisposalarea.aspx

Answer: Yes. Meeting DCGLs should be assumed to be sufficient for meeting ALARA requirements.

22. Are isotopes not identified in the DCGL not evaluated as contributing to site closure?

Answer: For the purposes of this proposal, Offerors may assume that isotopes not identified as DCGLs are not evaluated as contributing to site closure.

23. Section C, 3.2(c) of the RFP states that: “All CONTRACTOR and subcontractor employees performing work under this contract must have a DOD “Secret” (or DOE/NRC equivalent clearance) at time of the proposal submission.” Please confirm the Government’s requirement that employees must have a security clearance at the time that remediation begins and not at the time of proposal submission.

Answer: See answer to Question 12 of Amendment 2.

24. Because USACE and the NRC implemented previously approved work plans in support of placing the site NRC license in abeyance, will they be provided to the contractor to use as a basis for amendments/modifications as identified in Section C, 5.1.2, rather than generating entirely new work plans?

Answer: Previous work plans will not be provided for the purposes of proposal development.

The Selected Offeror will be provided copies of previously accepted plans, and discussions will be held between the USACE and the Contractor to emphasize what elements of the plans may be used.

25. Can the Corporate Safety and Health Program Table of Contents identified in Section L, 3.1.2 (1) be included as an Appendix to Volume 1 and excluded from the page count?

Answer: Yes. Section L, 3.1.2 has been revised to state: “The Table of Contents is excluded from the Volume 1 page count.”

26. Section 6.1.14 requires that the Project Chemist/Laboratory Manager have a “minimum of a 4-year college degree in Chemistry.” Because the RFP allows equivalent work experience as sufficient to meet formal training and/or education requirements for other positions (e.g., RSO), would the Government consider allowing equivalent work experience to meet the Chemistry degree requirement, particularly if the Project Chemist/Laboratory Manager candidate has a technical degree?

Answer: See answer to Question 20 of Amendment 2.

27. To provide USACE with a comparable basis for bid evaluation and prevent the incorporation of overly aggressive or unrealistic assumptions, please confirm that the Government forbids modifications in any way to established excavation (WBS #331XX08) and/or waste (WBS #331XX19) unit quantities specified in the Sample Project #1 Bid Schedule through application of technical innovations or waste minimization techniques.

Answer: See answer to Question 17.

28. Please confirm that, based on the risks associated with waste materials exposed during previous SLDA site excavation activities, USACE requires the contractor to dispose of material at an NRC-licensed facility.

Answer: For the purposes of this proposal, Offeror’s should assume that all material must be disposed at an NRC-licensed facility.

29. Section L, 3.2 of the RFP requests “a summary of incidents which resulted in a fatality, permanent disability or property damage in excess of $2,500.” In EM-385, Section 01.D.04 (Nov 2014), the threshold for comparable property damage events is $500,000. Please confirm the Government’s intention that Offerors include property damage events greater than $500,000, not $2,500, in the Accident Summary. In addition, is the request for both permanent partial and permanent total disability?

Answer: Offerors should include in their summary property damage events greater than five thousand dollars ($5,000), and both permanent partial and permanent total disability. Section L,

3.2 has been revised to reflect this change.

30. Section I of the RFP incorporates the September 2015 version of the recently adopted DFAR clause related to “Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber-Incident Reporting” - 252.204-7012. Would the Government consider incorporating the most recent version of that clause, December 2015, to allow sufficient time for the contractor to comply with clause requirements?

Answer: The clause has been updated in the solicitation.

31. Section C, 6.1.9 requires that the Construction Quality Control System Manager have a college degree from an accredited school in engineering, construction management, geology, chemistry, or a related field. Because the RFP allows equivalent work experience as sufficient to meet formal training and/or education requirements for other positions (e.g., RSO), would the Government consider allowing equivalent work experience to meet the technical degree requirement for the CQCSM position?

Answer: See answer to Question 14.

32. Reference: Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award, indicates that the USACE will evaluate a Contractor more favorably if the Contractor can demonstrate the ability to significantly reduce the construction duration. However, the Sample Task # 1 Bid Schedule Worksheet has fixed durations identified in the quantities column. Time driven quantities such as 1 EA, 12 Months, 24 Months, etc. do not allow the Contractor to propose a shorter schedule.

Please allow offerors to change time driven WBS items (331xx0507; 331xx0791 and 92;

331xx1920; 331xx2201, 02, 04, 06, 07, 08, 09 and 10) on the Bid Schedule to match durations on our proposed schedule.

Answer: See answer to Question 17.

33. Reference: Security requirements. Will the government provide the DD-254?

Answer: DD-254 is attached.

34. Reference: Amendment 02, Section L, 2.7.1 Page Limits lists a total of 160 pages for Volumes 1 to 4. Section L, 2.7.6 Format, Table 1 lists 165 pages for Volumes 1 to 4. Please clarify.

Answer: Section L, Paragraph 2.7.1 has been revised to change the total pages to 165.

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 Contract Award

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) intends to award an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) single award task order contract (SATOC) under Solicitation No. W912P4-15-R-0001 for remediation services.

This ten (10) year IDIQ SATOC will include a five (5) year base period and a five (5) year option period in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 217.204, and will be procured using full and open competition procedures. Under this IDIQ SATOC, USACE intends to issue fixed-price and/or cost-reimbursable task orders. Cost-reimbursable task orders may include fixed-fee or incentive-fee.

1.2 Issuance of Task Orders

(a) For each task order to be awarded under this IDIQ SATOC, the Contracting Officer (KO) will provide the Remediation Contractor (CONTRACTOR) with a Performance Work Statement (PWS) describing all work and services required. The CONTRACTOR must provide the Government with a proposal within the period specified in the. Each task order will either be a firm-fixed-price (FFP), or cost-plus-fixed-fee. The CONTRACTOR's proposal must be supported by necessary documentation such as drawings, calculations, catalog cuts, specifications, and architectural renderings, to indicate that adequate engineering and planning to accomplish the requirement has been done. The Government will review the proposal for completeness and negotiate, if necessary, with the

CONTRACTOR.

(b) Task orders will then be issued by the KO. The CONTRACTOR will not be reimbursed for cost proposal preparation unless specifically stated in the PWS. The KO may consider paying a set proposal fee for difficult requirements such as those related to remediation of material. The CONTRACTOR will make every effort to maximize the use of local personnel to minimize travel costs.

1.3 Scope of Work

(a) This IDIQ SATOC is for remediation services required at the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) Shallow Land Disposal Area (SLDA) site in Parks Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania.

(b) This IDIQ SATOC requires the CONTRACTOR to furnish all labor, material, equipment, and supervision to perform all work necessary to complete simultaneous task orders at the SLDA site. The remedial activities required under this scope of work may include, but are not limited to: development of work plans, emergency response preparedness, environmental monitoring, excavation, waste characterization and segregation, waste evaluation, waste packaging, and transport and disposal of radiologically contaminated materials. The radioactively contaminated soils, sediments, and debris will be removed from the disposal trenches, subjected to on-site management, and transported off site for disposal in a facility permitted to receive such materials. Final status surveys of completed excavations must be performed to verify any soil remaining is below derived concentration guideline levels (DCGLs) specified in the Record of Decision (ROD) (DA, 2007). Excavated non-radioactive materials (below DCGLs) may be used for backfilling of the excavations if below the Pennsylvania Act 2 Clean Fill Policy Criteria. Excavated chemical-only wastes will be transferred by the CONTRACTOR to the site owner for disposition. On-site processes may include temporary storage, physical separation, size reduction, and radiological sorting.

(c) The waste types anticipated at the SLDA include, but are not limited to liquids, solids and demolition debris that may contain, among other constituents:

• special nuclear material (SNM) as defined in 10 CFR 70.4

• radioactive waste including, but not limited to, low-level radioactive waste (LLRW), and transuranic1

(TRU) waste

1 If there are TRU wastes that exceed 100 nCi/g of alpha-emitting isotopes with a half-life greater than 20 years, the CONTRACTOR must safely store this material until it can be transferred to NNSA as described in Section 1.3(d).

• mixed waste (i.e., waste that contains both source, SNM, or by-product material defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and hazardous waste as defined by RCRA)

• beryllium (Be) contaminated waste

• non-radioactive waste (below DCGLs) as defined by RCRA (characteristic waste)

• non-radioactive waste (below DCGLs) not defined by RCRA

(d) The CONTRACTOR will be responsible for year round operation of the site. If any periods of inactivity are encountered, the CONTRACTOR will be responsible for operations and maintenance activities required to maintain the site in a secure, limited activity condition. The USACE recognizes that periods of inactivity may impact retention of personnel and encourages optimization of annual operations to avoid these challenges.

(e) Additional activities may include, but are not limited to: environmental investigation, design, construction and/or modification of site infrastructure, preparation of appropriate documents and work plans, site maintenance, environmental monitoring, site restoration, interaction with local, State and Federal agencies including USACE, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), NNSA, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and emergency response agencies, assisting with preparation for and participation at public meetings, and any other actions necessary to remediate the SLDA.

2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Site Location and Description

(a) The SLDA site is located in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, about 23 miles (38 km) east-northeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The SLDA site is adjacent to the community of Kiskimere in Parks Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. The SLDA site is bordered by Kiskimere Road to the southwest and State Route 66 and the Kiskiminetas River to the northwest. A seasonal stream called Dry Run meanders along the northeast side of the site.

(b) The SLDA site occupies approximately 44 acres (17.8 hectares) and is bounded by the community of Kiskimere to the southwest and vacant undeveloped land to the southeast and northeast. The former Parks Nuclear Fabrication facility site is located adjacent to and northwest of the SLDA site. Currently, the Parks site is vacant land owned by BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT). Land use within the vicinity of the SLDA site is mixed, consisting of small residential communities, individual rural residences, small farms with croplands and pastures, idle farmland, forested areas, and light industrial properties.

2.2 Site History

(a) In 1957, the Apollo Nuclear Fabrication Facility began operations in Apollo, Pennsylvania, under U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) license No. SNM-145. Between 1961 and 1970, Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC), who owned both the Apollo Facility and the Parks Facility including the SLDA, buried process and other wastes from the Apollo plant at the SLDA site. According to historical documents, these wastes were buried in accordance with AEC regulation 10 CFR 20.304, Disposal by Burial in Soil, which was subsequently rescinded in 1981. In 1967, NUMEC stock was bought by Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) and the use of the SLDA for radioactive waste disposal was discontinued after 1970. Anecdotal information suggests that not all materials buried at SLDA were recorded or documented, and burials may have continued beyond 1970. In 1971, the Babcock & Wilcox Company (B&W) acquired NUMEC. In 1997, BWXT assumed ownership of the SLDA and is the current owner.

(b) Based on reports prepared by ARCO/B&W, and discussions with individuals familiar with disposal operations at SLDA, the waste materials were placed into a series of pits that were constructed adjacent to one another. From geophysical surveys performed at the site, these pits appear as linear trenches and are depicted on site drawings as trenches. These geophysical anomalies were labeled as “trenches” 1 through 10; this numbering scheme was based partially on the sequential construction and use of each trench (1 being the oldest trench and 9 being the most recently constructed trench in the upper trench area). Trench 10 is located in another part of the site and was used for disposal purposes throughout the 1960s and during 1970.

(c) In 1965, the contents of trenches 2, 4 and 5 were excavated simultaneously and placed on the ground in the area between those trenches. After sorting through the material, packaging and disposing of some waste off-site, the remainder of the material, then mixed, was placed back in the three originating open trenches. As a result, the contents of the three trenches were mixed prior to (and during) replacement of the material back into the trenches.

In addition, some contaminated soil and debris became mixed with the trench cover soils, and is located closer to the surface than originally reported.

2.3 ROCs and Soil Cleanup Goals

The scope of this response action addresses the eight specific ROCs identified at the SLDA site: americium-241 (Am-241), plutonium-239 (Pu-239), plutonium-241 (Pu-241), radium-228 (Ra-228), thorium- 232 (Th-232), uranium-234 (U-234), uranium-235 (U-235), and uranium-238 (U-238). Radionuclide-specific soil clean-up goals, referred to as Derived Concentration Guideline Levelss (DCGLs), for the SLDA site are as follows:

Radionuclide DCGL (pCi/g) Am-241 28 Pu-239 33

Pu-241 890 Ra-228 1.7 Th-232 1.4 U-234 96 U-235 35 U-238 120

If a mixture of radionuclides is present at a given location, then the Sum of Ratios (SOR) applies per the Multi- Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM). For example, using the DCGLw values for soil, the following equation is obtained:

Ra-228 Am-241 Pu-241 Pu-239 Th-232 U-234 U-235 U-238 SOR = --------- + ---------- + --------- + ----------+ ---------- + -------- + -------- + --------- ≤ 1

1.7 28 890 33 1.4 96 35 120

If nuclides other than the ROCs listed above are discovered during remediation in significant quantities, the Corps may evaluate and establish soil-based cleanup goals in addition to the DCGLs listed above.

2.4 Regulatory Background

(a) In 1997, Congress designated the USACE as the lead federal agency for implementing the FUSRAP. As the lead federal agency for FUSRAP, USACE has authority to address the following:

• Radioactive contamination (hazardous substance) from Manhattan Engineer District (MED)/Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) activities, or

• Other hazardous substances (i.e., Be), pollutants, or contamination resulting from MED/AEC activities, or

• Hazardous substances, pollutants or contamination unrelated to MED/AEC activities, but which are commingled with MED/AEC waste.

(b) The authority for this response action is found in Section 8143 of the Fiscal Year 2002 Defense Appropriations Act, Public Law 107-117, which, subject to subsections (b) through (e) of section 611 of Public Law 106-60 (113 Stat. 502; 10 U.S.C. 2701 note), directs the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, to clean up radioactive waste at the SLDA site under the FUSRAP. The cleanup is subject to Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and its implementing regulations found in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR 300. This law also directs the USACE to clean up radioactive waste at the SLDA site, consistent with the July 5, 2001 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the NRC and USACE for the coordination of cleanup and decommissioning of FUSRAP sites with NRC-licensed facilities. A site-specific MOU between USACE, NRC, DOE-Office of Environmental Management, and NNSA, was approved in 2014 for the purpose of articulating the cooperation of the agencies relating to the remediation at SLDA and details the respective roles and responsibilities of each agency.

Any chemical contamination that is not co-mingled with radioactive waste cannot be addressed by the USACE under FUSRAP by the authority provided in Section 8143 of Public Law 107-117.

(c) The Administrative Record file for the SLDA site is located at the following locations:

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District Apollo Memorial Library 100 Liberty Avenue 219 North Pennsylvania Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 Apollo, Pennsylvania 15613

(d) Within the CERCLA process, the Preliminary Assessment (USACE, 2002), Remedial Investigation (DA, 2005), Feasibility Study (DA, 2006a), Proposed Plan (DA, 2006b), ROD (DA, 2007), Feasibility Study Addendum (DA, 2014a), Proposed ROD Amendment (DA, 2014b), and a ROD Amendment (DA, 2015) have all been completed.

The ROD and ROD Amendment formally provide the clean up alternative to be used at the site. The selected remedy in the ROD is to excavate radiologically contaminated material to unrestricted levels (subsistence farmer) and transport the material out of state to an approved disposal facility. For additional background information, please refer to the SLDA Project Website: https://tiny.army.mil/r/Loj2/ https://tiny.army.mil/r/Loj2/

(e) The SLDA site is currently owned by BWXT and is maintained under NRC License SNM-2001. The NRC has placed the license in abeyance to enable the USACE to conduct remedial action activities in accordance with the MOU. During this period of license abeyance, USACE has control of the site for the purposes of protecting public health and safety, and radiation control.

2.5 Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements

The applicable or relevant and appropriate requirement (ARAR) for the SLDA site is 10 CFR Section 20.1402, Radiological Criteria for Unrestricted Use. 10 CFR 20.1402 considers a site to be acceptable for unrestricted use if residual radioactivity exceeding background results in a total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) that does not exceed 25 millirem (mrem) per year to the average member of the critical group, including that from groundwater sources of drinking water, and that the residual radioactivity has been reduced to levels that are as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). The critical group was determined to be Subsistence Farmer.

2.6 Roles and Responsibilities

(a) The USACE is the lead agency for this remedial action and has overall responsibility for execution of the project.

The DOE and NNSA will assist USACE in the characterization and disposition of potentially recoverable SNM and non-recoverable SNM that is precluded from disposal at commercial disposal facilities (Y-12 will supply all packaging and transportation for these materials). The NRC has the potential to observe and advise USACE under the Site Specific MOU (June 2014).

(b) The USACE Pittsburgh District has been assigned project management responsibility for remediation of the SLDA. The USACE Buffalo District is the Hazardous, Toxic and Radiological Waste (HTRW) Design Center assigned as the technical lead for the investigation and remediation work for this site. The combined USACE team is working closely with the PADEP, NRC, DOE, Parks Township, the stakeholders, and BWXT.
