SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

ROUND 3 & 4 QUESTIONS ANSWERS

1. Please clarify an apparent discrepancy between SECTION J, Attachment 7.3, “Sample Project #1 Section 4.0 “Work Breakdown Structure”, and the USACE WBS provided in Attachment 10 “Work Breakdown Structure”. In the Sample Project #1 WBS, item 331XX2206 is titled “First Aid, Fire Protection, and Traffic Control”, whereas, in the USACE WBS, item 331XX2206 is titled “First Aid, Fire Protection, Traffic Control and Security” (emphasis added). Since there is no Security category identified in the Sample Project #1 WBS, should we include project security costs (e.g., badging, training, surveillance, etc.), other than those to be provided by the USACE (i.e., Security force), in WBS 331XX2206? If not, please identify which WBS category should reflect these costs?

Answer: WBS item 331XX2206 is correctly stated in Section J, Attachment 10 as “First Aid, Fire Protection, Traffic Control and Security”. The Sample Project #1 WBS in Attachment 7.3 has been changed to correct the discrepancy.

2. Please clarify a discrepancy between the following sections. RFP Section 5.1.2.16 – Waste Management, Transportation, and Disposal Plan has a bullet regarding stockpiling of contaminated soils that states - “The height of the stored materials must be limited to 8 feet.” SECTION 02 61 13 EXCAVATION AND HANDLING OF CONTAMINATED MATERIAL, Part 3.6.1- Stockpiles states that “Stockpile heights shall not exceed 15 ft.”

Answer: Attachment 11.9, Section 02 61 13 has been revised to state: “Stockpile heights shall not exceed 8 feet.” Additional revisions to resolve potential discrepancies with the SOW have been made in Part 1.3 of Section 02 61 13.

3. For Sample Project #1, to provide consistency among the offerors, can a groundwater depth of 10 ft below ground surface be assumed?

Answer: The following statement was added to Attachment 7.3, Sample Project #1 PWS, section 1.1: “Assume Disposal Trench 99 is located in the vicinity of the upper trench area and has similar characteristics to the pre-remediation conditions of Trench 2.”

4. No insurance requirements were identified in the RFP. Please indicate if the government will establish insurance requirements for the contract and what these will be.

Answer: FAR Clause 52.228-7 “Insurance – Liability to Third Persons” has been added to the solicitation. FAR Clause “52.228-5 “Insurance – Work on a Government Installation” has been deleted from the solicitation. The following insurance requirements are also added to the solicitation:

The Contractor shall, as part of its normal course of operations and in performing work of the nature required by this contract with the Government, maintain all forms of insurance specific to its operations, including but not limited to insurance relating to pollution, transportation of contaminated waste (nuclear and otherwise,) property damage and personal injury arising from, or related directly or indirectly to, exposure to hazardous or toxic substances. The Contractor shall at all times maintain and keep in full force and effect all insurance required under this contract and required by any federal, state or local laws and regulations.

Contractor shall name BWXT Technical Services Group, Inc., the Site Owner, its employees, officers, parents and subsidiaries (collectively BWXT) as a named additional insured, with full waiver of subrogation to the full extent of Contractor's insurance, identifying all insurance as primary to any other insurance. Before the Contractor mobilizes onto the site, Contractor shall provide to the Government a current certificate of insurance showing all required endorsements.

5. Section L, Volume 3 (Factor 3) indicates that key personnel resumes are limited to no more than two (2) pages each. The RFP also requires offerors’ to provide resumes for up to 20 key personnel, which, at two pages per resume, equals 40 pages or 80% of the total allocated pages of 50 pages for the entire volume. This leaves 10 pages to respond to the remainder of the three major subsections under this factor—Organizational Approach (excluding resumes), Management Plan, and Corporate QA Program. The other option is to complete the 20 resumes in one page (20 pages, leaving 30 pages for other sections);

however, the RFP requires us to show the experience record for the past 15 years on the resumes, which will be extremely difficult to achieve in a one-page resume. Because of these issues, please consider excluding resumes from the Factor 3 page count (while limiting each resume to 2 pages per resume), and adjusting the Factor 3 page count to 30 pages excluding resumes.

Answer: The page limit for Volume 3 was increased to 55 pages per Amendment 2.

6. To facilitate USACE evaluation of excavated soil handling approaches, should all offerors use a Loose Cubic Yard (LCY) soil bulk density of 1.35 tons/CY or can the USACE specify a LCY soil bulk density to be used by all offerors?

Answer: Offerors should assume a loose cubic yard (LCY) soil bulk density of 1.35 tons/LCY.

7. Please clarify the following regarding Attachment 2, “Fully Burdened Labor Rates”

a. Volume 5- 3.5.1 Direct Costs requests the labor hours and rates for Sample Project #1. Should the Attachment 2 table be used for this or can the Sample Project #1 rates be provide in a different format?

b. If yes to a., can additional labor categories which the offerors consider necessary to execute Sample Project #1 be added to the Attachment 2 table?

c. Should wage rates and hours for laborers and tradesmen as requested by 3.5.1 also be added to the table?

d. Are the labor rates offerors provide in Attachment 2 only for Sample Project #1 or will those rates become part of the contract and be stipulated for some period of time and used to cost future FFP task orders and the indirect rates be ceiling rates for future CPFF TOs?

e. Attachment 2 asks for escalation; what is the base period for which these rates apply and how many years of escalation should offerors provide?

f. The title of Attachment 2 is “Fully Burdened Labor Rates” which suggests that the rates would be all inclusive including profit. Is this assumption correct? If yes, should offerors provide profit along with G&A, fringe, overhead and

FCCOM?

Answer: Attachment 2 has been deleted from the RFP.

8. Reference: Section 1.2 Issuance of Task Orders, Page 16, states “Each task order will either be a firm-fixed-price (FFP), cost-plus-fixed-fee, or cost-plus-incentive-fee.”

Section B SATOC OVERVIEW states “Task orders will be issued either as Firm Fixed Price (FFP) or Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) depending on the nature of work.” Section L

1.2 states “Task orders issued under this SATOC will be on a cost-reimbursable or firm fixed price basis.” Finally, Appendix A “Step-by-Step Walk-Through of Green and Sustainable Practices Flow Chart Example A-1,” the Example A-2-1, on page A-30, includes Incentive Fee in the calculation.

Question: Please confirm that Task Orders may be cost-plus-incentive fee.

Answer: Task Orders will be issued either as Firm Fixed Price or Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee.

Section C, paragraph 1.2 and Section L, paragraph 1.2 have been updated.

9. Reference: Section L Instructions Volume 5 – Price Factor Section 3.5.4. Additional Information The information for this section is to be provided for the prime CONTRACTOR only. Can the government please define the term CONTRACTOR if this is to include, JV Partners, and/or dedicated team members?

Answer: Contractor is the entity submitting the proposal. If a JV is submitting a proposal, it is considered the Offeror. This information should only be submitted by one entity. By the very nature of a JV, it is considered one entity.

10. Reference: RFP Att_2_Labor_Rate_Form

Question: Please clarify how the government will use the data provided on Att_2_Labor_Rate_Form.

Answer: See answer to question 7 above.

11. Reference: RFP Att_2_Labor_Rate_Form

Question: Please clarify where the completed form is to be included in the submittal.

12. Reference: RFP Att_2_Labor_Rate_Form Question: Please clarify how team member and subcontractor rates are to be included.

13. Reference: Att_2_Labor_Rate_Form has a title of Fully Burdened Labor Rates – Base Period w/yearly escalation yet the chart indicates “Basic Hourly Rate” as a value header.

Question: Are the rates in the chart to be fully burdened without profit or bare labor costs only?

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, or cost-plus-incentive-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.

(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/

(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.

2.7 USACE Mega-Project Requirements

(a) The SLDA project has been designated by Headquarters, USACE (HQUSACE) as a “Mega-Project” as defined in Engineering and Construction Bulletin, No. 2014-14 (ECB 2014-14). The mega-project designation requires additional project management controls and efforts as detailed in ECB 2014-14. The CONTRACTOR must comply with all applicable mega-project tenets listed in ECB 2014-14, which are also summarized in this PWS.

(b) A three-tiered governance structure will be established for mega-projects in order to achieve needed accountability, visibility, understanding, and timely decision-making in order to assure effective communication and issue resolution at appropriate levels. The three levels will be established as follows:

1. Senior Executive Board – The senior level is composed of senior leaders from USACE and the CONTRACTOR’s corporate senior vice president or equivalent. Senior leaders from HQUSACE will serve in an advisory role to the mega-project’s Senior Project Executive, who is the Director of Programs for the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, USACE.

2. Executive Leadership Team – The mid-level is composed of USACE program managers and supervisors, and the CONTRACTOR’s vice president level staff. This team is responsible for day-to-day operations at the project site, and for making decisions and applying resources to solve problems that rise above typical project management responsibilities.

3. Project Leadership Team – The working-level consists of the CONTRACTOR personnel assigned to accomplish the work tasks and develop the submittals specified in this PWS, and the USACE personnel assigned to provide direct oversight and management of the project.

2.8 Existing Site Conditions and Information

(a) NRC License SNM-2001 is suspended and will remain suspended for the duration of SLDA remediation under the USACE authority. The conditions specified in the NRC issued Confirmatory Order that suspended the license remain valid.

(b) A CONTRACTOR NRC license is not required to perform SLDA remediation. However, the CONTRACTOR should assume that on-site laboratories will require an NRC license to receive licensable calibration sources from a distributor. All radioactive sources and/or radiation generating devices to be used on the SLDA site must be approved by the USACE prior to delivery.

(c) The CONTRACTOR assumes responsibility for radioactive and mixed waste until it is received and accepted at an approved off-site disposal facility or possession is transferred to a federal agency partner. CONTRACTOR must demonstrate all waste packaged and prepared for shipment is acceptable for disposal (meets the recipient disposal facility WAC) and is prepared in accordance with applicable federal regulations and CONTRACTOR’s work plans.

CONTRACTOR must prepare a declaration stating this and present this declaration with shipping papers for review by the USACE (and signature).

(d) USACE is not responsible for disposal of waste containing non-radiological contaminants only (below DCGLs).

This type of waste remains the responsibility of BWXT, the site owner. The CONTRACTOR is responsible for identifying this waste, determining the hazards or hazardous characteristics, and safe storage of the material pending BWXT disposal. A separate “Chemical-Only Pad” remains on-site.

(e) There are no possession limitations for radioactive material, including SNM, removed from the trenches and in-process of removal from the SLDA site. However, the requirements specified in the CONTRACTOR’s Radiation Protection Program (RPP), Accident Prevention Plan (APP), NCS and MC&A Plans/Programs, as well as the SLDA site Physical Security Plan (established, maintained and controlled by the USACE) must be followed. NOTE: “In-process” includes everything up to final removal of material from the SLDA site by the appropriate transport method, including material required to be disposed by others, i.e. USACE federal agency partners.

(f) Uranium (U) is present as natural U, depleted U, low enriched U and high enriched U. U may be distributed in soil/waste, contained within intact or partially intact containers, as well as solid objects, and in any form (chemical and physical, including ceramic or other product types).

(g) Non-radiological contaminants include any potential chemical and solid wastes associated with nuclear fuel processing, research and development (R&D), as well as laboratory waste (including discarded bottles/containers of unused reagent grade laboratory chemicals). Beryllium is present. Additionally, other non-radiological contaminants may include those typical of disposed building materials (asbestos, etc.) or components (PCB, etc.).

(h) Waste is known to be within 10 trenches. Although NUMEC/ARCO was authorized to dispose of waste on-site in accordance with 10 CFR 20.304 (rescinded), it should not be assumed the requirements of the regulation or AEC license were followed. Although waste originating from the NUMEC/ARCO Parks Township facility or facilities external to NUMEC/ARCO were excluded from the on-site disposal authorization, it should not be assumed those wastes are not present in the trenches. Other areas of soil contaminated with radioactive material exist within the SLDA site.

(i) Excavated soil with no waste present, but containing low concentrations of radionuclides demonstrated to meet the DCGLs and demonstrated to meet the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) requirements for management of fill may be used as backfill.

(j) Waste records that estimate the volume of waste in the SLDA trenches, as well as the radiological and chemical contaminants and SNM mass, are not considered to be accurate and the actual contents of the trenches is unknown.

While a summary of this information is provided in the SLDA Remedial Investigation Report (and other documents), it should be stressed that this is based on best available information and should not, in any way, be assumed complete or fully representative of all waste within the trenches.

(k) An active account for the SLDA site exists in the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS) database. The Reporting Identification Symbol (RIS) is VBL. However, the only information in the NMMSS database for the SLDA site is transaction data from the 2011 and 2012 remediation efforts (prior to the start of those efforts the VBL account contained no data). Therefore, to remove material from the VBL account it must first be added to the database.

(l) Existing Trench Conditions:

1. There is no covering (other than soil) or other protection of the trench areas from the elements, thus retained water exists within many of the trenches and as a result of years of snow, rain and retained water all waste is assumed wet.

2. Partially excavated Trench 3 is covered with two layers of geo-fabric and two layers of place back soil that must be removed prior to waste excavation.

3. Lighting in the trench areas does not exist.

(m) A complete list of government owned equipment can be found in Attachment 8 of Section J. Existing SLDA infrastructure includes:

1. The SLDA site is within an existing perimeter fence. At many locations around the site this fence separates the site from privately owned land, accessible by the public, and a public roadway.

Residential areas are in the near vicinity. A security contractor with a separate contract directly with the USACE is responsible for administration and implementation of the SLDA physical security requirements.

It is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to comply with those requirements and coordinate with the site security contractor.

2. A paved roadway exists from the primary SLDA site access on State Route 66 and traverses the site ending at the temporary structure known as the Material Processing Building (MPB).

3. A trailer complex remains on-site, south of the upper trench area (and south of the paved roadway). These trailers were used previously for office areas, as well as other project support services.

Telephone and utility services (electric and water) remain. All water service to the trailer complex and other locations on-site has been drained up to the backflow preventer/meter and will remain in that condition until remediation activities resume. There is no sanitary sewer service on-site. Sewage is collected in tanks and pumped periodically by a local sewage disposal service. This is a CONTRACTOR supplied service.

4. The MPB constructed in 2009 remains on-site and is a radiologically controlled area.

This is a steel frame fabric structure 150 feet wide, 400 feet long and 65 feet high at the peak, on concrete foundation. The floor is primarily asphalt with some concrete slab areas. There are roll-up and personnel access doors on the east and west ends of the MPB. A building ventilation system remains. This consists of four (4) independent 50,000 cubic feet per minute (cfm) units. Each unit consists of HEPA filtration on the inlet side prior to the vent fan which exhausts to a granular activated carbon vessel. All 4 units are on the exterior of the north side of the MPB, with the HEPA filter intakes along the inside north wall of the structure. Air is exhausted from each activated carbon vessel directly to atmosphere external to the MPB.

The HEPA filters and activated carbon within the vessels remain. There are no effluent monitoring systems on the exhaust stacks. Make up air into the MPB is through louvers primarily on the south side of the MPB, with some on the east and west sides. Opening and closing of all inlet louvers is manual. There are no ventilation system interlocks (doors or louvers). There are no audible or visual alarm systems tied to ventilation system operations. A water collection/drain system is in place to divert water to a collection sump system in the building which was pumped to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Utility services (electric and water) are provided to the MPB. A suitably sized emergency back-up generator will be required to be installed by the CONTRACTOR prior to start-up of the MPB.
