Record of Decision: Savannah River Site
High-Level Waste Tank Closure issued
on August 19, 2002 (67 FR 53784) in
which the Department decided to
implement the ‘‘Stabilize Tanks—Fill
with Grout’’ option evaluated in the
Savannah River Site High-Level Waste
Tank Closure Final Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) (DOE/EIS–0303;
May 2002). DOE is not changing its
decision to implement the ‘‘Stabilize
Tanks—Fill with Grout’’ option but is
publishing this Notice to clarify that the
decision to close the tanks has been
made pursuant to NDAA Section
3116(a). All other aspects of the 2002
Record of Decision remain unchanged.

Secretarial Determination and Basis).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FTF
is a 22-acre site, located at the Savannah
River Site near Aiken, South Carolina.
The FTF consists of 22 underground
radioactive waste storage tanks and
supporting ancillary structures. Two of
those waste tanks, Tanks 17 and 20 were
cleaned and operationally closed in
1997, prior to enactment of NDAA
Section 3116. Accordingly, Tanks 17
and 20 are not within the scope of this
FTF Section 3116 Basis Document. The
major FTF ancillary structures are two
evaporator systems, transfer lines, six
diversion boxes, one catch tank, a
concentrate transfer system, three pump
pits, three pump tanks and eight valve
boxes. There are three waste tank types
in FTF with operating capacities ranging
from 750,000 gallons (Type I tanks) to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
1,300,000 gallons (Type III/IIIA and
Type IV tanks). The waste tanks have
varying degrees of secondary
containment and in-tank structural
features such as cooling coils and
columns. All FTF waste tanks are
constructed of carbon steel. The FTF
was constructed to receive waste
generated by various SRS production,
processing and laboratory facilities.
DOE has initiated waste removal and
cleaning of tanks and ancillary
structures in the FTF using a process
that includes removing bulk waste from
tanks and ancillary structures and then
deploying tested technologies to
removing the majority of the remaining
waste. After completing cleaning
operations, a small amount of residual
radioactive waste will remain in the
tanks, ancillary equipment and piping.
DOE plans to stabilize the residuals in
the tanks and certain ancillary
structures with grout. Tank waste
storage and removal operations in the
FTF are governed by a South Carolina
Department of Health and
Environmental Control (SCDHEC)
industrial wastewater operating permit.
Removal of tanks from service and
stabilization of the FTF waste tanks and
ancillary structures will be carried out
pursuant to a State-approved closure
plan, the Industrial Wastewater General
Closure Plan for F-Area Waste Tank
Systems (GCP). Specific Closure
Modules for each tank or ancillary
structure or groupings of tanks and
ancillary structures have been
developed and submitted to SCDHEC
for approval. SCDHEC approved the
specific and final closure configuration
documentation and after grouting, the
tank/system will be removed from the
State’s industrial wastewater permit.
This FTF Section 3116 Basis Document
applies to stabilized residuals in the
waste tanks and ancillary structures, the
waste tanks, and the ancillary structures
in the FTF at the time of closure.
Dated: Issued in Washington, DC, on
March 29, 2012.
