The 6,550-acre Rocky Flats Plant (DOE) site is a federal facility, which serves as a
nuclear weapons research development and production complex in Jefferson County,
Colorado. Surrounding land use is primarily rural residential, although there are some
industrial properties nearby. The site overlies an alluvial/colluvial aquifer, and a
small wetlands area is present within the facility boundaries. Since 1951, on site
operations have included the manufacture of nuclear weapons components from plutonium,
uranium, beryllium, and stainless steel. There are twelve sites, designated as solid
waste management units, which comprise the 881 Hillside area. In 1987, EPA identified
VOC-contaminated ground water in the 881 Hillside area located in the southeast corner
of the site near a surface stream. Possible sources for this contamination included
chemical and oil waste pits, fuel oil tanks, and an associated drum storage area,
onsite solvent/oil spills and leaks, and sanitary sewer overflow discharge. This
Record of Decision (ROD) addresses management of migration and cleanup of ground water
in the 881 Hillside area, and is an interim remedy. Final remediation of this site
will be addressed in a subsequent ROD. The primary contaminants of concern affecting
the ground water are VOCs including PCE and TCE; metals including chromium; and
radioactive materials.

First Remedial Action
Abstract (Continued)
The selected remedial action for this site includes intercepting contaminated ground
water in the alluvial/colluvial aquifer using a french drain system; treating the
contaminated water in an onsite treatment plant using filtration followed by UV
peroxide to remove organics, and ion exchange to remove inorganics; storing the treated
water temporarily onsite during effluent quality testing prior to discharging the
treated water to an onsite interceptor ditch; and ground water monitoring. The
estimated present worth cost for this remedial action is $4,588,200, which includes an
annual O&M cost of $258,100 for 30 years.
~
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OR GOALS: Ground water cleanup standards will be
stringent of Federal MCLs or MCLGs, or State water quality standards.
Chemical-specific goals include PCE 5 ug/l (State), TCE 5 ug/l (State),
chromium 0.05 mg/l (State), and chromium 0.05 mg/l (State).

SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
2.1.1
Location and Facilitv Tvoe
.
The Rocky Flats Plant (RFP) is located in northern Jefferson County, Colorado.
approximately 16 miles northwest of downtown Denver (Figure 2-1). The Plant site consists
of approximately 6,550 acres of federally owned land in Sections 1 through 4, and 9 through
15, of T:S. R iOW. 6th principal meridian. \fajor buildings arc located within an aI"::.l 0\
approximately 400 acres, known as RFP security arca. The security area is surrounded by J
buffer zone of approxima tel y 6.150 acres.
The RFP is a government-owned. contractor-operated (GOCQ) facility. It is part of a
nation-wide nuclear weapons rese:lrch. development. and production complex administered by
the Albuquerque Operations Office of the U.S. Department of Energy.
The operating
contractor for the Rocky FI:lts Plant is Rockwell International. The facility manufactures
components for nuclear weapons and has been in operation since 1951.
RFP fa brica tes
components from plutonium, uranium. beryllium. and stainless steel. Production acti\'ities
include metal fabrication. machining, Jnd assembly. Both radioactive and nonradioactive
wastes are generated in the process. Cum:nt waste handling practices involve on-site and ofr-
site recycling of hazardous materials and oif-site disposal of solid radioactive materials Jt
other DOE fJciiities.
The RFP is currently an interim status Resource Recovery and Conservation Act
(RCRA) hazardous waste tre:ltment/storage facility. In the past, both storage and disposal of
hazardous and radioactive wastes occurred at on-site locations.

There are twelve sites, designated as solid waste managemcnt units (SWMUs), which
comprise the 881 Hillside Area. These sites were investigated as high priority sites because of
elevated conccntrations of volatile organic compounds in the ground watcr and the proximity
01 thc sitcs to a surface drainagc. The 881 Hillside Arca is locatcd at the southeast corncr 01

Surrounding L:1nd Use and Poculation Densitv
The Rocky Fla ts Plant is locatcd in a rural area. There arc eight public schools, within
six miles of RFP. The nearest educational facility is the Witt Elementary School, which is.
approximately 2.7 miles cast of the RFP buffcr zone. The closest hospital to RFP is Centennial
Peaks Hospital located approximately seven miles northeast. The closest park and recreational
area is the Standley Lake area, which is approximately five miles southeast of the RFP site.
Boating, picnicking, and limited overnight c:lmping are permitted. Sever:ll other small parks
exist in communities within ten miles of RFP. The closest major park, Golden Gate Canyon
State Park, locatcd Jpproxim:ltcly 15 miles to the southwest, providcs 8,400 Jcres of generJI
.:amping Jnd outdoor re:rc:ltion. Othcr n:ltional Jnd statc parks arc located in thc mountains
west of RFP. but all :He morc than 15 miles away.
Some of the land adjaccnt to RFP is zoned for industrial devclopmcnt. Industrial
facilities within five milcs of RFP include thc TaSCa labor:ltory (40-acre site located two
miles south), the Great Western InorgJnics Plant (two milcs south), the Frontier Forest Produc:s
yard (two miks south), the Idcalitc Ligh.twcight Aggrcgate Plant C:A miles northwest), and the
Jc:fferson County Airport Jnd Industrial P:1rk (990-Jcre site loc::ued 4.8 miles northC:lst).
Several ranchcs :He loc::ued within tcn miles at" RFP, primarily in Jcrrerson JnG
Boulder Counties. They are oper::lted to producc crops, raise becf cartlc, supply milk. Jnd
breed and train horses. According to the 198i Colorado Agricultural Statistics. :0.758 acres
of crops were pl:lnted in Jefferson County (tot:lliand arC:l of :lpproximatcly 4i5.000 acres) Jnd
68.760 Jcres ot' crops werc plJnted in Boulder (.Junty (total land arC:l of -105,760 acres). Crops
consisted of winter whe:lt, corn. barley, dry be:lns, sugar bccts, hay, and oats.
Livestock
consisted ot' 5.314 hC:ld of c:lrtl-e, 113 hogs, and 346 shecp in Jefferson County, Jnd 19,578 hC:ld
of c:lttle, :,216 hogs, Jnd 12,133 shecp in Bouldcr County (Post, 1989).
Approximately 50 percent of the arca within tcn miles or RFP is in Jcrfcrson County.
The rcm:linder is loe:ltcd in Bouldcr County (40 percent) and Adams County (10 percent).

According to the 1973 Colorado Land Use Map, 75 percent of this land was unused or was
used for agriculture. Since that time, portions of this land have been converted to housing,
with several new housing subdivisions being st:l.rted within a few miles of the b'uffer zone.
One such subdivision is loc:lted south of the Jefferson County Airport and sever:l.l arc located'
southe:lst of RFP.
A demogr:l.phic study uSIng 1980 census data shows that approximately 1.8 million
peopie lived within 50 miles of RFP in 1980 (Rockwell Internatlon:1l. 1987b). Approximately
9,500 people lived within five miles of RFP in 1980. The most populous sector was to the
southeast, toward the center of Denver. This sector had a 1980 popu1:ltion of about 555.000
people living between 10 Jnd 50 miles Irom RFP. Recent popul:l.tion estimates registered by
the Denver Regional Council of Governments ror the eight county Denver Metro region have
shown distinct patterns of growth between the Cirst and second halves of the dcc:l.de. Between
1980 and 1985, the population 01 the eight county region incre:l.sed by 197,890, a 2.4 percent

The Rocky Flats Plant is loc:lted at an elevation of approxim:1tcly 6,000 feet above


mean sea le'.'el. The site is on the western m:1rgin 01 the Colorado Piedmont section of the
Gre:l.t Plains Physiographic Province. The piedmont represents an old erosion:l.l surface along
the e:l.stern m:l.rgin or the Rocky Mount:l.ins. It is underl:l.in by gently dipping sedimentary
rocks (P:l.leozoic to Cenozoic in age) which are abruptly upturned:l.t the Front Range (just west
of RFP) to form hogback ridges parallel to the mountain rront. The piedmont surface is

interbedded lenticular sandstones. siltstones. and occasional lignite deposits. The Arapahoe
Formation was deposited by meandering streams flowing generally from west to east off the

Front R:lnge. Sandstones were deposited in stream channels and as overbank splays. and
claystones were deposited in back swamp and floodplain areas. Leaf fossils. organic matter.

Jnd lignite beds were encountered within the claystones during drilling at the 881 Hillside.
Contacts between various lithologies are both gradational and sharp. Bedrock is estimated to
dip JpproximJtely i de~rees to the east.
Claystone bedrock was the most frequently encountered lithology of the Arapahoe
Formation immediately below the bedrock contact.
Weathered bedrock was encountered
directly beneath surficial m:1teriJls in Jl1 of the boreholes and wells. and weathering appeJrs
to penetrate as much as 60 feet below ground surfacc.
The wc:lthered claystone is also

the 881 Hillside) from Woman Creek. Surface water flowing in an easterly direction along the
South Interceptor Ditch is collected in Pond C-2, from which it is discharged to Woman Creek
in accordance with the RFP National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
The permitted disch:uge point is designated as 007. Pond C-I receives flow from Woman
Creek. A diversion structure located upstream of Pond C-2 diverts flow in Woman Creek
around Pond C-2 and into the Woman Cn:ek channel downstream.
Along Woman Creek and
the South Interceptor Ditch, retention
ponds C-l and C-2, and the associated diversion
structures. control surface water discharge from the RFP site.

Ground \1/:1[er
Ground water occurs in surticial materials (Rocky Flats Alluvium. colluvium, terrace
alluvium, valley fill alluvium, and artificial fill) and in Arapahoe sandstones and claystones
at the 881 Hillside Area.
These two hydraulically connected flow systems are discussed
separate!y celow,

Ground water flows from the Rocky FI:lts Alluvium at the top of the 881 Hillside south
through colluvial m:lterials toward Woman Creek. Ground water in Rocky Flat Alluvium or
colluvium is hereinaiter referred to as alluvial ground-water. Flow through colluvial materi::lls
primarily occurs in the gravel within the colluvium. At the Rocky Flats terrace edges, ground
water emerges as seeps and springs at the contact between the alluvium and claystone bedrock
(contact seeps), is consumed by evapotranspiration. or flows through colluvial materials

following topography toward the valley fill and terrace alluviums. The maximum and mean

ground-water velocities through colluvial materials are estimated at 780 ft/yr and 150 ft/yr,
respectj vel y.
Once ground w:lter reaches the valley, it either flows down-valley in the
alluvium, is consumed by evapotranspiration, or discharges to Woman Creek. The maximum'
and mean ground-water velocities in Woman Creek valley fill have been estimated at 650 ft/yr
and 145 ft/yr, respectively.
Bedrock Ground-W:,! rer F10w S\'stem
Ground-watcr flow in the Arapahoc Formation occurs primarily in the sandstones
.:ontaincd within the claystoncs. Ground-water rech:Hgc to sandstoncs occurs as infiltr:ltion
trom an alluvial ground water where sandstoncs subcrop beneath thc alluvium and by leakage
through the claystones overlying the sandstones.
There is a strong downw:Hd gradicnt between ground Water in surficial materials and
bedrock. V~rtical gradient data an: provided in the RI report (Rockwcll International, 1988J).
Calculated vertical gradients ranging from about: to 0.3 ftlft indicatc a hydraulic potential
for downward flow.
The: presence oi unsaturated conditions in some locations and high
vcrtical gradients where subsurface mateiials arc continuously saturatcd indicates that rhe
intervening material (claystone) has a very low hydraulic conductivity. Ground-water flow
within individual sandstoncs is from west to east. The m:1Ximum horizontal ground-water
velocity in sandstone is estimatcd at about 36 ft/yr whilc the mean velocity is estimated to be
1: ft/yr. Ground water moves at these r:w:s only if the sandstone unit is continuous or has
good interconnection with an adjacent unit. To datc, latcral continuity of sandstone units
along strike has been demonstr:lted to be small and only a few correlations have been mace
along dip.
Usable ground water occurs in the Arapahoe Aquifer. Water from the sandstones of
the Arapahoe Aquifer is used for irrigation, livcstock watering, and domestic purposes east
of RFP.

Contaminants -- Oescriotion and Sources
2.1.6.1
Ground-Water Contamination
Organic contamination of alluvial ground-water at the 881 Hillside Area is evident.
..
However, the existence of inorganic contamin:ltion in alluvial ground-water is uncertain at
this time. This uncertainty is due to the limited data on background chemical conditions for
alluvial ground-water. Water-quality data from well 55-86, located southwest of the plant and
upgradient of all known SWMUs, is the only current data available for characterizing
background ground-w:lter chemistry. Over two years of quarterly data exist for this well.
This data has been used to preliminarily determine which constituents in ground water
:J.t the 881 Hillside Area are contaminants. Constituent concentrations in ground water at the
881 Hillside Area that exceed the upper limit of the range of concentrations in well 55-86 :J.re
presumed to rcpresent :ont:J.minanrs.
A background charactc:-ization study is currently underway ro provide more definitive
information of the spatial Jnd remporal variability of alluvial. colluvial, valley fill. and
bedrock ground-water quality.
These data \vill be used to bettcr cvaluate the nature and
extent oi inorganic contamination at the 881 Hillside and remedial action alternatives thar
address this contamination for the final RFI/RI and Cv1S/FS reports.
For this interim
remedial :J.ction. clean-up criteria are defined by :J.pplicable or relevant and appropriate
requirements (ARARs) or proposed requirc;'ments to bc considercd (TBC) as discussed in
Section 3.
Variances irom ARARs may be appropriatc in the future whcn background
chemical conditions arc adequately characterized.
Alluvial ground wa ter is contaminated with various vola tile organic compounds (VOCS)
and possibly various metals, major ions, and uranium.
Alluvial ground water at the 881
Hillside Area has been divided into three groups on the basis of contaminant migration
pathway or nature of the contamin:nion as follows:

Area characterized by the presence of YQCs in many of the wells.
2)
3)
Alluvial ground water downgradient of the 881 Hillside Area beyond the limits'
of YQC contamination.
For each of these groups, the nature of contamination is summarized in Tables 2-1.
2-2. and 2-3. Well locations are identified on Figure 2-4. Each table identifies the maximum.
minimum. and average concentrations of YQCs, metals. major ions and radionuclides tha t were
detected above estimated background concentr:ltions. The chemical-specific ARARs are also
.identified in the tables.
The YQC maximum, minimum. and average concentrations reported in Tables 2.1.
:.2. and 2-3 arc based on data from the first and second quarter 1989 groundwater sampling
as this is the only validated YQC data available to date that was categorized acceptable. AIl
other analytes reported in Tables 2-1. 2-2 and 2-3 use 1987 and 1988 quarterly data. The
grouping of alluvial ground water wells. averaging of data. and comparison to ARAR's is only
intended to provide the reader with an overview of the magnitude of ground-water
contamination at and in the vicinity of the 881 Hillside Area. Clean-up of the ground water
,0 achieve chemical-specific ARARs will be determined on a SWMU-specific basis.
The footing drain discharge is characterized by low concentrations of YQCs. and above
estimated background concentrations of a few metals. major ions. and uranium. Of the YOCs.
onl y te:rachloroethene (r-CE) exceeded ARAR in 1989. Average values for total dissol ved
solids and mercury exceeded ARAR for the inorganic constituents; however. the high average
mercury concentration is considered an artifact of including an apparent erroneous da ta
point (0.9 ug/l). Subsequent analyses show mercury concentrations to be below ARAR. The
dissolved plutonium concentration is also considered an erroneous data point because the total
plutonium concentration for that sample was less than the Minimum Detectable Activity
(MDA).

WELL LOCATIONS AT 88

-------
Alluvial ground water at the 881 Hillside Area is characterized by significant VOC
contamination. High concentrations of VOCs are notably present in the vicinity of SWMU
119.1 at well 9-74.
The maximum concentr:1tion for most of the metals exceed estim:1tcd
alluvial ground-water background concentrations and ARARs. However, only the ARARs for.
manganese and selenium arc exceeded for the average concentrations. Total dissolved solids,
chloride, nitrate-nitrite, and sulfate have avcrage values that exceed ARARs.
Average
dissolved strontium and uranium concentrations exceed background, but not ARAR.
.
Downgradient of the 881 Hillside Area, the alluvial ground-water chemistry is
characterized by thc absence 01 VOC contamin:uion. with the exception of low concentrations
of methylene chioride. :lcetone. :lnd tetr:1chloroethcne. The methylene chloride and acetone
:lre suspected iabor:ltory contaminants because 01 their presence in laboratory blanks. The
tetrachloroethene W:lS detected only in the first quarter 1989 in wells 64-86 and 2-87 at
estimated concentr:ltions below detection limits. :lnd was not detected in these wells during
second quarter 1989. Average concentr:ltions of several metals. major ions. and strontium (89
- 90) Jnd ur:lnium are :lbove the cstim:ncd background for alluvial ground w:\tcr.
Concentr:ltions of these inorganic constituents :lre somewhat lower than at the 881 HiIlside
Area, and nitr:ne, chloride. :lnd sulfate do not exceed ARAR on the average.

Of the six plutonium concentrations me:lsured at well 2-87, all except this one were below the
\1DA.

but decre:lse to non-detectable; concentrations within
approximately 300 feet (Rockwell
International, 1988a). This r:lpid reduction in concentrations is in good agreement with the
results of the soil g:lS surveys.
The :lnalysis of bedrock ground water for possible
contamination is under investigation. A det:liled s:lmpling and :In:llysis program of existing

bedrock monitoring wells and background monitoring wells is currently being conducted.

2.1.6.2
Soil Contamination
Volatile organics data previously collected from the 881 Hillside Area have been
rejected during the data validation process. Although these data cannot be used to definitely.
determine the extent of volatile organics contamination in this area. the data is summarized
here because they likely provide some indication of the spatial distribution of organic
..
contamination in the soils and the relative magnitude of the contamination.
,.
Meth ylene chloride. acetone. and ph thalates were generally ubiquitous con taminan tS
in the samples collected from the 881 Hillside Area. There has been considerable debate as to
whether they are truly contaminants of the soils. Methylene chloride and acetone may be
laboratory contaminants because of the relatively high levels in many of the laboratory blanks.
It is believed that the phthalate contamination may have resulted from sample handling with
plastic gloves. however. no testing has been performed to verify this hypothesis.
Volatile chlorinated hydrocarbon contamination is apparently not extensive.
It
occurred above detection limits in soils from only 3 of the 23 boreholes.
The highest
concentrations detected were tetrachloroethene (PCE) at 190 micrograms per kilogram (J,lg/kg),
trichloroethene (TCE) at 150 ~g/kg. and 1.1.1. TCA at 110 J,lg/kg.
The actual maximum
concentration of these compounds is unknown because they occurred in composite samples.
::.1.6.3
S urf:1ce- Wa ter Con tami na tion
Surface waters of Woman Creek and the South Interceptor Ditch flow to Ponds C-I and
C-2. respectively. Discharge from the ponds to Woman Creek is monitored in accordance with
RFP's NPDES permit. Recently collected valid analytical data for the ponds indicates no
VOCs are present. and radionuclides. metals. and major ions are within the estimated
background levels identified in Section 6 of the 881 Hillside Area Draft Final Remedial
Investigation Report for High Priority Sites (Rockwell International. 1988a). VOCs are prescnt
in the 881 Building footing drain which flows to Pond C-2; how~ver VOCs are not found in

Pond C-2. Elevated levels of uranium-238 occur in the South Interceptor Ditch upgradient of
the 881 Hillside Area. but concentrations decrease to background levels at Pond C-2. As part
of the final RFI/RI. additional data will be gathered to re-evaluate the presence of
contaminants in the surface water.
2.1.6.4 Sediment Con tamination
;
Due to the presence of acetone and methylene chloride in laboratory blanks run with
.
the sediment analyses. the presence of volatiles in the sediment samples cannot be confirmed.
Additional sampling and analysis wi!! be performed and evaluated as part of the final RFI/RI
report.
2.2
A:"IAL "TICAL DATA
Organic and inorganic contaminants exist in the ground water beneath the 881 Hillside
Ar::a.
Appendix I lists the results of volatile organic and inorganic analyses from alluvial
ground-water samples collected at the 881 Hillside Area from 1987 and 1988. Volatile organic
analysis for the first and second quarter 1989 are also included.
2.3
SITE CONDITIONS THAT JUSTIFY AN IRA
There is no immediate threat to the public health and environment posed by ground-
water contaminants at the 881 Hillside Area because the affected water is contained within
the plant boundary.
However. an unacceptable risk would be posed to the public by
consumption of the contaminated alluvial ground water at or immediately downgradient of
the 881 Hillside Area. Although consumption of this water is not likely. an 1M/IRA will be
implemented in order to prevent further contaminant migration from the 881 Hillside Area
that could otherwise exacerbate final cleanup efforts at the site.

DETERMINATION OF RE~EDIAL ACTION SCOPE
The overall objective of the 1M/IRA at the 881 Hillside Area is prevention of release
.
and migration of alluvial ground-water contaminants downgradient. and the cleanup of
.
alluvial ground-water contamination to within acceptable levels. The effort is to be performed
in the interest of protecting public health as well as the environment.
Specific objectives of the 1M/IRA are:
Contain. reduce. and/or eliminate site contaminants identified as posmg
potential threats to human health or the environment.
Reduce or eliminate exposure [0 site contaminants for potential receptors by
controlling potential contaminant pathways.
Demonstrate technical feasibility and environmental and cost effectiveness of
the interim remedial action.

REOLJfRE\1E'iTS
Response actions at Supert"und sit:s must meet two fundamental clean-up requiremcnts.
First. they must attain a level ot" cleanup which. at a minimum. ensures protection of human
health and the environment [CERCLA Scetion l:l(d)C~). 42 U.s.e. Section 962l(d)(2)]. Sccond.
it is EPA pOlicy th:lt CERCLA cleanups attain or exceed the requirements of all applicable or

administrative requirements apply.
This remedial action is considered an on-site 1M/IRA; therefore, only substantive and not
"Applicable stand:\rds" n1:1Y be defined as substantive environme~tal protection
requirements, criteri:l, or limit:ltions. promulgated under federal or state law, that specifically

circumstances at a Superfund site.
"Relevant and appropriate requirements" are those
substantive environmental protection requirements, promulgated under federal or state law,
that, while not jurisdictionally applicable to circumstances at the site, address problems
sufficiently simila.r to those encountered at the site that their use is well suited to the.
particular site. ARARs must be identified on a site-specific, case-by-case basis.
.
In general, there are three categories of potential ARARs at any Superfund site. These
.
c:1tegories are:
Ambient or chemical-specific requirements.
Locational requirements.
Performance, design, or other action-specific requirements.
Each category is discussed in more detail below.
3.3.1
Ambient or Chemical-SDecific Reauirements
Ambienr or chemical-specific requirements set health- or risk-based concentration
limits in various environmental media for specific hazardous substances or pollutants. These


requirements set protective clean-up levels for the chemicals of concern in the designated
media. or indicate a safe level of air emission or wastewater discharge.
Chemical-specific ARARs are derived primarily from federal and state health and
en vi ron men tal sta tu tes and regula tions.
Health Effects Assessments, Health Advisories.
Chemical Advisories. and Guidance Documents may also be considered when establishing
::le:an-up standards. but are not considered to be ARARs. These and any proposed standards
are classified as items to be considered. or TBCs.
Where background concen tra tions for
::onstituents are above the chemical-specific ARAR for that constituent, a variance from the:
ARAR is appropriate. A summary of chemical-specific ARARs for the contaminants found
at the 881 Hillside Area is presented in Table 3-1. When more than one chemical-specific
ARAR has been identified for a contaminant, a screening process is used to determine the
pecific ARAR to be applied. This screening process involves three steps as outlined below:

1.
The most stringent human health or agricultural-based promulgated standard
among the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDW A), Maximum Contaminant Level
(MCL), and CDH ground and surface water standards is first applied
(applicable).
2.
For a RCRA Appendix VIII hazardous constituent, in the absence of any
promulgated standard in step I above, the most stringent RCRA Land Disposal'
Restriction or RCRA Subpart F limit is applied (relevant and appropriate).

In the absence of an ARAR in steps I or 2 above, the most stringent of the Clean
Water Act Water Quality Criteria, or the proposed CDH ground water and
surface water standards is applied (TBC).
..
3.
Screening for these ARARs is presented in Table 3-2. The screening process includes
..
consideration of both ground water and surface water standards because in the proposed
1M/IRA (see Section 6.0), treated ground water is discharged to the South Interceptor Ditch
(SID). The surface water in the SID often infiltrates the alluvium and recharges the alluvial
ground water. Of the elements/compounds detected in alluvial ground water at the 881
Hillside Area, there arc no ARARs for calcium, magnesium. potassium, sodium, bicarbonate.
cesium. and strontium. However, the total dissolved solids ARAR establishes the acceptable
aggreg:lte concentr:uion for the above major ions (excludes cesium and strontium). Until an
acceptable risk based concentration is c.stablished for cesium and strontium, their background
concentrations are TBe.
3.3.1.1 Safe Drinking Water Act Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and MCL Goals
Because ground water beneath the 881 Hillside Area is a potential source of drinking
w:1ter, Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) are applicable for all phases of the 1M/IRA.
:vtCLs are derived from the Safe Drinking Water Act (PL 93-523).
They represen t r he
maXImum permissible level of a contaminant in water which is delivered to the free-flowing
outlet of the ultimate user of a pUblic water system [40 CFR 141.2(C)]. Maximum Contaminant
Level Goals (MCLGs) have also been considered in developing clean-up standards. Section
121 (d) of CERCLA as amended by SARA suggests that MCLGs may be appropriate under
certain circumstances of the release or threatened release of hazardous substances.
This is
reinforced in EPA's document entitled, Draft CERCLA Comoliance with Other Laws Manual.

Volume II. Maximum Contaminant Level Goals. (EPA, June 1987, that identifies the special
circumstances where MCLGs should be considered as ARAR. These circumstances generally
occur when there arc multiple contaminants in ground water, or where multiple pathways of
exposure present extraordinary risks. According to the guidance document. the use of MCLGs'
should be determined on a site-specific basis in consultation with EP A headquarters.
~
The clean-up criteria for the interim remedial action at the 881 Hillside Area consider
~CLs and MCLGs as ARAR wherever such standards have been promulgated for the
..
con taminants of concern. Proposed MCLs and MCLGs are considered TBCs in this anal ysis.
3.3.1.:
Ambient Water Quality Criteria
The Ambient Water Quality Criteria arc nonenforceable guidance developed undc:r
the Clean Water Act. Guidance is set for surface waters for the protection of aquatic life
and for the protection of human health. based on both drinking water and consuming aquatic
organisms from that water. Sine: the 1M/IRA proposed here involves the treatment and
subsequent discharge to surface water, the Water Quality Criteria are TBC.
3.3.1.3
Colorado Surface Jnd Ground~Water Quality Standards
The Colorado Department of Health (CDH) has adopted interim ground- water Quality
stJndards for many organic compounds. These are considered applicable for the constituents
where they exist. Some of the standards are lower than the current standard detection limits
(or rhe compounds of concern. When this occurs, the detection limit will be considered :IS
ARAR.
The CDH has also promulgated ground-water Quality standards for many inorganic

compounds for both human health and agricultural uses. These standards '3re considc:red
applicable since future or downgradient use of the aquifer is not restricted. Where standards

exist for both human health and agricultural uses, the more stringent standard is considered
to be the ARAR.
On July II, 1989, the CDH adopted temporary surface-water Quality standards for.
Walnut Creek and Woman Creek. These include standards for many organic, inorganic and
radionuclide parameters. These temporary standards are in effect until March 30, 1990 (unless
permanent standards are adopted at an earlier date) and are considered applicable.
3.3.1.4
RCRA Ground-Water Protection Standards
Owners or operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste must
ensure that hazardous constituents' identified in 6 CCR 1007-3 and 40 CFR 261, Appendix
VIII, entering the ground water from a regulated unit do not exceed concentration limits under
6 CCR 1007-3 and 40 CFR 264.94. The concentration limits include standards for fourteen
compounds,. with background used as the standard for the other RCRA Appendix VIII
.:onstituents. These concentration limits apply to RCRA-regulated units subject to permitting
(landfills, surface impoundments, waste piles. and land treatment units) that received RCRA
hazardous waste after July 26, 1982. Although this area docs not contain RCRA-regulatcd
units, it docs contain Solid Waste Management Units. Therefore, the RCRA clean-up criteri:J
Cor Appendix VIII constituents are relevant and appropriate and are used to define ARARs
in the absence of any human-health based standards. Background concentrations for 40 CFR
:64, Appendix IX constituents not listed in Appendix VIII arc TBC.
RCRA land disposal n:strictions (LDRs) for certain organIc contaminants (40 CFR
268.40) arc considered relevant and appropriate for the discharge of treated ground water to
either surface water or ground Water. The LDRs arc technology based standards and :uc

3.3.2
Locational Reauirements
Locational requirements are statutes or regulations which set restrictions on activities
or limits on contaminant levels, depending on the characteristics of a site or its immediate.
environs. Examples of locational requirements are federal and state siting laws for hazardous
waste facilities, or sites on the National Register of Historic Places. Also included are the
Wilderness Protection Act and floodplain regulations promulgated pursuant to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency's National Flood Insurance Program.
"
Location-specific ARARs that arc relevant and appropriate are the State of Colorado
siting criteria for RCRA treatment units. and for surface-water discharges, the CDH W:u:r
Quality Division's regulations pertaining to pre-approval of treatment facility location.
3.3.3
Perform:1nce. Desi2n. or Other Action-Scecific Reauirements
Performance. design, or other action-specific requirements set controls or restrictions
on particular kinds of activities related to management of hazardous substances or pollutants.
These requirements arc not triggered by the specific chemicals present at a site. but rather by
the particular 1M/IRA alternatives that arc evaluated as part of this plan. Action-specific
ARARs are technology-based performance standards, such as the Best Available Technology
standard of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
Other examples include RCRA
treatment. storage, and disposal standards. Clean Water Act pretreatment standards for
discharges to publicly-owned treatment works (POTWs) and the Colorado Hazardous Waste
Regulations.
Action specific ARARs for the interim remedial actions evaluated here :u:
included in Table 3-3.

::nt systl:m for inclusion with the alternatives requiring water
treatml:nt. Provisions of the Supl:rfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
also require that alternatives be developed that consider:
Elimin:ltion of long term site management;
.
Reduction of waste toxicity, mobility, or volume;
Waste containment with little or no treatment;
Use of innova ti ve technologies.
The developed alternatives arc as follows:
I.
Collection of ground water using a line of down gradient wells and a source well
at SWMU 119.1, collection of footing drain flow, and n:injection of tr~ated
w:1ter downgradient of the 881 Hillside Area in the Valley Fill Alluvium of the
Woman Crl:ek drainagc.

Collection of ground water using a french drain and a source well at SWML'
119.1. collection of footing drain flow, and reinjection of treated water
downgradient of the 881 Hillside Area in the Valley Fill Alluvium of the Woman
Crl:ek drainage.

J.
Collection of ground ""!ater using a french drain and a source well at S\y'ML'
119.1, collection of footing drain flow from. and discharge of treated watcr to
the surface. and in situ treatment of soils using soil flushing.
~.
Totall:ncapsula.tion of source Jreas using a multi-layer cap and slurry wall with
control of gradients by pumping an intl:rnal sump (dewatcring fluids to be
treated at an existing tre:tmcnt plant 1.
~
Pump a source well at SW :L' 119.1. collect footing drain flow. and reinjection
of m:ated warer downg~~~lent oi the 881 Hillside Area in the Valley Fill
Alluvium of rhe Woman Creek drainage.
6.
Immobilization of contaminants using a chemical grout.
Collection of ground w:\ ter using a french drain and a ~Jurce well :It SWML"
119.1. collection of Coating drain flow, reinjection of rreated \\':ltcr
downgradient of the 88 I Hillside in the Valley Fill Alluvium oC the Woman
Creek drainage. and partial removal of soils to a RCRA- pcrmittcd disposal
facility.
as the basis for ,the preliminJry screening of developed alternatives:
Three broad consider:1tions. consistent with the National Contingency Plan. were uscd
~ - The cost of implementing the remedial action was considered including
oper:1ting :lnd maintenance costs. An alternative whosc COSt far exceeds that 01'
others being evaluated without providing significantly greater protection W:lS
eliminated.

ROCKY FLATS PLANT, GOLDEN, COLORADO
eg&g\881 \iap-..c4.jan
JANUARY 1990

-------
Acc~otabk Engin~~ring Practic~s - Alternatives which do not provide a proven
and reliable means of addressing the problem were eliminated.

Eff~ctiven~~s - Alternatives which do not effectively contribute to the
protection oi public health. welfare, and the environment were eliminated.
Alternatives posing significant adverse environmental effects and only limited.
benefits were also excluded from further consideration.
Of the seven remedial action alternatives developed, four of the alternatives were
climinat~d because they did not provide adequate protection of public health, welfare. and the
environment, or were much more costly without providing significantly greater protection.
The 881 Hillside Area Feasibility Study Report (Rockwell Intcrnational, 1988b) provides the
details of the screening proce~s to this point.
The remaining three alternatives from the FS Report were retained for a further
detailed evaluation based on additional tre:1tment r~Quirements imposed by the DOE
:lgr~cment with the State of Colorado in June 1989. This agreement additionally requires the
:r::ltment of collec:ed ground-water ior removJI oi inorgJnic contaminants including
rJdionuclides until the bJckground .ground WJter study is completed at which time the
[reJtment rCQuirement for inorganics Jnd radionuclides will be re-cvalu:1ted. In addition, the
treated water will be discharged to surfac: water as opposed to ground-water reinjection, as
originally proposed in the FS. The reinjection of treated ground water down gradient of thc
frcnch drain is deemed not to be necessary because of the interaction between surface-water

protectiveness and use of alternatives to land disposal. Protectiveness includes protection of
the communiry and workers during the removal action; threat reduction (mit;~:ltion of
identified threats); determination of the length of time until protection is achieved;
compliance with chemical- and location-specific ARARs: compliance with criteria, advisories
and guidances; description of porential exposure to residuals remaining on-site; and long-term
reliability for providing continued pro.~=tion. The effectiveness criteria also includes use of
Jlrern:ltives to land disposal, thus promoting utilization of treatment or recycling instead oi
land disposal.

The criteria for evaluation of cost of removal alternatives includes total cost and
statutory limits. Total cost includes direct capital costs, indirect capital COStS, and any post- .
removal site control costs. Since the IRA at the 881 Hillside Area is not an EPA-financed
removal aCtion, the $2 million statutory cost limit does not apply.
4.3
GROUND-WATER TREAT\1ENT TECHNOLOGIES EVALUATION
The ground-w:lter tre:ltment technologies that were selected for detailed evaluation
include c:ubon adsorption, tJV Iperoxide (chemical oxidation), and air stripping for organic
compounds, and ion exchange, electrodialysis. and reverse osmosis for inorganic compounds.
The specific tre:ltment systems listed are provided as examples of systems that can provide the
level of tre:ltment needed to meet chemical-specific ARARs for the organic and inorganic
contaminants of concern.
It is recognized that many companies provide similar treatment
systems, and the system ultimately selected for installation will be required to provide the
same level of efficiency as that specified here.
The treatment system selected must be capable of treating 30 gpm of contaminated
ground water with influent characteristics as shown in Table 4-1. The effluent quality must
meet the chemic:ll-specific ARARs.
The 10c:J:ion- and action-specific ARARs are similar for each of the treatmenr
rechnologies. and are discussed in Section 3. Only air stripping has unique action specific
requirements because it is subject to the Colorado Department of Health Air Quality
regulations for the air emissions.

Activat~d .Carbon AdsorDrion (OrlZanic Contaminant R~moval)
4.3.1.1 D~scription
For the granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption system. the ground water will be
pumped through two GAC columns in series operated in down flow fixed-bed mode (Figure 4-
I). A second set of GAC columns for stand-by operation are in parallel to the first set. Each
;:arbon column is 44 inch~s in diameter and 89 inches high, and contains 1,800 pounds of
carbon. Based on a peak flow rate of 30 gpm. the hydraulic loading to each column will b~
approximately 1.4 gpm/ft2. Contact time for each column will be approximately 25 minutes.
To completely utilize th~ carbon. columns are arranged in series allowing the lead column [0
becom~ fully ~xhaust~d before r~generation while: the second (polishing) column ~nsurcs
effluent Quality. Periodic samples will be taken from the effluent of each unit, and when the
lead unit effluent exceeds chemical-specific ARARs. the lead carbon column will be removed,
the polishing (second) column will become the I~ad column. and a stock carbon column
:arbon will b~ put in service as the polishing unit. Th~ c:lrbon column with the exhausted
carbon will then be shipped to an off-site location for regeneration.
~.3.1.: Ef f ecti v~ncss
GAC adsorption systems have been shown to n:move VOCs from contaminated ground
water to lev~ls that comply with the chemical-specific ARARs. The EPA (Federal Regisler,
Vol. 5:, No. 130. page 25698) has designated c:lrbon adsorption a "B~st Available Technology"
lor the removal of sev~n specific vol:ltile organic compounds (including TCE and 1,1.1- TCA)
from drinking water. The GAC adsorption system that is proposed here for the treatment of
the 881 Hillside ground water will be in continuous operation until the concentrations of VOCs
in the ground water decrease to chemical-specific ARAR concentrations. at which time further
tre:ltment will be unnecessary. The probability of equipment failure will be minimized in this
system because of the r~dundancy of having two (2) parallel on-line units. each of which could
treat the design flow.
Two stock units on sit~ add to th~ system reliability.

Appropriate safety measures required when moving and installing large equipment will
be complied with during installation. The operation and maintenance of the system will be
by personnel who are trained in the handling of hazardous and radioactive wastes. Because

carbon will remove oxygen from the air, any time personnel are working in confined areas.
where oxygen may be limited. special care must be taken to ensure that an adequate air supply
is available.
The operators of the GAC system will not be exposed to VOC-Iaden carbon because the
use of the containerized and transportable carbon contactors allows removal and replacement
of the exhausted carbon at a remote carbon reactivation site. Carbon will not be handled at
the site. Transporting the entire exhausted carbon column to the regeneration f:lcility ensures
oper:ltors He protected from the carbon. and the operators need only follow routine safety
procedures when handling he:lvy equipment.
The exhausted c:lrbon is gener:lIly regenerated through a thermal treatment process
which strips the volatile organics from the c:ubon. The organics He subsequently destroyed
via incineration. During this regener:ltion process. a small quantity of ash may be generated
which requires disposal at a landfill. Thus. this process C:ln be considered an alternative to
land disposal since the c:lrbon is continuously recycled. However, if the spent carbon was
determined to be a mixed waste. then it would require land disposal at the Nevada Test Site.
GAC adsorption tre:ltment in scaled. fixed-bed contr:lctor vessels does not producc any
w:lste stre:lms or vapor cmissions. The safety of nearby communities should not be adversely
Jf[ected and the risk of harm to the environmcnt should not be increased. This trcatment
process will effectively remove organic contamin:lnts [rom the ground water. Tre:ltcd watcr
will be monitored at the effluent and al50 at an intermedi:lte point in the system to ensurc
contaminants are below the chemical-specific ARAR concentrations before being released to
the environment during implementation of the process.

It is estimated that approximately:: man-hours of operator time will be needed daily,

primarily for start up, shutdown, and system monitoring. Periodic change-out of the carbon
units and maintenance of the equipment will require approxim:ltely 16 hours per month, thus
the total labor requirement will be 76 hours/month.

Costs
Results of the trcatability study indic:nc the carbon usage rate will be 3.1 pounds per
1,000 gallons of ground \Va tcr, based on bre:lkthrough oi methylene chloride (Rockwell
Intern:nion:ll, 1988b). At:l cost of approxim:1tely 51.15 per pound for regener:lted carbon. the
annual costs are estimated to be $18.600 for c:lrbon (based on an average flow rate of 10 gpm).
The cost of shipping contaminated carbon (as a manifested hazardous waste) for regeneration
is estimated to be S2,500 and $500 for receiving regener:lted carbon. for a total of $3.000 per
exchange. If the spent carbon requires disposal at the Nevada Test Site as a mixed waste, this
cost could change substantially. Annual operation and maintenance costs are based on 76
hours per mon th a tala bor ra te of S61 /hour.
Using the preceding information, the estimated capital costs for installing a carbon

4.3.2
Ultraviolet (UV) Peroxide Oxidation (Or\!anic Contaminant Removal)
4.3.2.J
Descri ption
The UV /peroxide treatment unit as designed by one manufacturer, consists of an 80-
gallon stainless-ste=! oxidation chamber. which provides for a maximum ground-water
retcntion time of 2.66 minutes at a peak system flowrate of 30 gpm (Figure 4-2).
The oxidation chamber contains 4 medium pressure UV lamps, which are mounted
horizontally in quartz sheaths.
A hydrogen peroxide feed system is used to inject
approximately 50 mg/I (per ppm of organic contaminants) of a 50 percent HzOz solution into
the ground-water feed line. The ground-water/peroxide mixture then passes through an in-

, line static mixer beiore entering the bottom oi the oxidation ch3mber. The ground water then
flows through the rC3ction ch3mber, p3ssing the UV lamps, before it exits the top of the
oxid3tion ch3mber.
..U.:.:
Effectiveness
The UV /peroxide system is capable of removing all of the volatile organics from the
ground w3ter to levels below the chemic31-specific ARARs. Bench- sC31e studies. using 881
Hillside Area water. were conducted by P:roxidation Systems, Inc. (Rockwell International.
1988b). The bench-sc3le tcsting unit provided :1 dynamic flow simulation of the process to
evaluate the parameters necess3ry to assure treatment effectiveness and unit sizing.
Parameters investig:lted during the testing included hydrogen peroxide (H20::) dosage 3nd
power requirements, retention time, system pH, 3nd influent/effluent chemical conditions.

simulate the expected influent chemical conditions.
Results from this testing provided
information on H::02 dosage. However. to establish the reaction rates essential to sizing the


treatment unit, an un blended sample was tested. Contaminant concentrations were reduced
to non-getectable levels for initial ground-water influent total VOC concentrations of I ppm.'
These results indicate that the UV /peroxide ground-water treatment process is capable of
achieving the effluent criteria for all of the volatile organics listed in Table 4-1. The volatile
organics will be completely oxidized to carbon dioxide, water. and chloride, and no organic
degradation products will be produced. The system will remain in operation until the ground
water has been fully treated to these levels.
The system reQuires periodic UV lamp
replacement and routine maintenance. but is expected to ha ve long-term reliability in terms
of operation and performance. The risk of failure of the system at any time is highly unlikely.
Since the volatile organics are destroyed in the UV /peroxide system, no wastes are produced
which reQuire ultimate disposal.
While the presence of ferrous iron can impede the
effectiveness of the UV /peroxide treatment system due to the precipitation of ferric iron, the.
manufacturer has indicated that this will not be a problem at the iron concentrations expected.
However, should ferric iron precipitation problems Hise. appropriate pretreatment such ::IS
aeration will be implemented to correct this problem.
During oper:ltion of the UV /peroxide ground-water treatment unit, the use of hydrogen
peroxide, a strong oxidizer, will reQuire that operators are aware of this potential hazard. The
H..O.. bulk storage tank will be properlv vented to assure no pressure buildup and minimize
. - ...
handling exposure. E.'{isting DOE and Rockwell health and safety guidelines at Rocky Flats
regarding operator safety while working with strong oxidizers will be followed. UV lamps
operate utilizing high voltage, and thus caution must be used when working with the system
and during the periodic replacement of the UV lamps.
The safety of nearby communities should not be adversely affected and the risk at'
harm to the environment should not be increased' as this treatment process will effectively
destroy ground-water contaminants. Treated w:lter will be monitored to ensure contaminants
are within n:gul:ltory guidelines before being released to the environment.

UV /peroxide oxidation is an innovative technology for the complete destruction and
detoxification of hazardous organic compounds in aqueous solutions. Although the technology.
is relatively new and has had limited application in the field, SARA requires EPA to prefer
remedial actions that significantly and permanently reduce the toxicity, mobility, or volume
of hazardous wastes by employing innovative technologies that result in the destruction or
detoxification of the wastes.

However.
Peroxid::uion Systems, Inc. has 6 UV /peroxide units currently operational or on-line and ready

One of these units is located at Rocketdyne's Santa Susana facility in
California. Pilot scale oper:ltions were performed by Peroxidation Systems, Inc., on ground
water containing VOCs (TCA. TCE, :tc.) :It system flow rates of :lpproximately 20-40 gpm.
Results from the pilot scale testing were f:lvor:lble, and :l UV /peroxide ground-water

water treatment system. located locally. was visited and :lppe:lred to be a low maintenance,
highly eL ~:tive ground-water treatment unit. This system was treating ground water with
TCA concentrations significantly lower th:ln those found at the 881 Hillside (approximately
i ppb). However. the tre:ltment process h:ld initially and effectively treated ground water
with much higher concentrations. Based upon actual bench scale results using 881 Hillside
ground W:lter and information received reg:lrding currently oper:lting treatment systems. the
innovative CV/peroxide ground-water tr::ac:nent system :lppears to be a reliable treatment
technology.
Operating :lnd m:lintenance requirements for the UV /peroxide treatment system :lrc

The system will require :lpproximately 180 kW of power and 6.100

additional two hours per day will be required for system start up, shutdown, and monitoring.
All four system UV lamps can be exchangcd in about an hour. The system requires only
occasional observation to ensure the system is operating properly, although system alarms will .

notify opera tors if a pro blem does occur.

Costs
Estimated costs for the UV /peroxide ground-water tre:Hment unit are shown in Table

power utilization (180 kW), labor (76 hours/month), and lamp replacement (every 3-6 months
at a COSt of S300/Iamp). Operational casts are based on a system flow rate of 30 gpm, 8 hours

system to remove the organics before being released to the environment. The vapor phase
carbon unit will contain 2,000 pounds of carbon.
4.3.3.2
Eff ecti veness
The use of an air stripper is a highly effective method of removing hazardous volatile
organic compounds (VQCs) from ground water.
The efficiency of the process is well
documented. The Environmental Protection Agency (Feder:!1 Re2ister), Vol. 52, No. 130, page
:5698) has designated packed tower aeration along with granular activated carbon, as a Best
A vailable Technology (BAT) for the removal of VQCs from drinking water.
An air stripper coupled with liquid and vapor phase carbon adsorption is a proven
system that has a dependable record of use. It is expected that this treatment process, with
proper maintenance, will provide the desired level of contaminant control until complete
remediation of the 881 Hillside Area has been achieved.
The probability of equipment failure will be minimized because the system is oversized
for the intended maximum flow of 30 gpm and includes two vapor phase carbon units - one
installed and one stock. The stock on site unit adds to the system reliability. All appropriate
safety measures required when moving and installing large equipment will be complied with
during instal1atioq.
The operation and maintenance of the system will be performed by

which strips the volatile organics from the carbon. The organics are subsequently destroyed
via incineration. During this regeneration process, a small quantity of ash may be generated
which requires disposal at a landfill. Thus, this process can be considered an alternative to
land disposal since the carbon is continuously recycled. However, if the spent liquid phase
carbon was determined do be a mixed waste, then it would require land disposal at the Nevada

Test site. The vapor phase carbon adsorption system will remove the organics from the iir
stripper emissions before being released to the environment. Therefore, the vapor phase
carbon adsorption system will eliminate the impact of any air stripper emissions on the public
health. The safety of nearby communities should not be adversely affected and the risk of
harm to the environment should not be increased.
Treated water and air will be monitored
to ensure contaminant levels are within regulatory guidelines before being released to the

Oper:uion of the treatment process is relatively simple, requiring occasional cleaning

of the air stripping column and replacement of carbon. The air stripper will require cleaning
to remove scale buildup on the packing material in order to maintain o~Ptimum removal

efficiency. Effluent from the cleaning operation will require treatment in the Building 374 .
Process Waste Treatment System. Transportation and regeneration of the liquid phase and
vapor phase carbon units at a remote carbon reactivation site will be required.
The air
stripping with off-gas treatment system for remediating YOC contaminated ground water is
available commercially and could be implemented quickly. No difficulties are anticipated
during the installation and start-up of this treatment system.
Replacement of the spent
carbon and other maintenance activities are expected to require approximately 16 hours per
month. Daily operation of the system will require two hours per day.
4.3.3.4
Costs
Estimated costs for the air stripping ground-water treatment system are shown in Table
4-4. The total capital cost for the system is $257,500. The liquid phase carbon unit is the samc
unit described in Section 4.3.1. The majority of the operating costs result from the replacement
of spent vapor phase and liquid phase carbon.
These costs were derived from the samc
treatability study results and unit pricing prcsentcd in Section 4.3.1.4. It should be noted that
these operating costs are based on regeneration of the spent carbon as a hazardous waste. If
the spent carbon requires disposal at the Nevada Test Site as a mixed waste, these costs could

The total present worth cost of the system based on 10% simple interest, a 30 year

not include any capital or operating costs for the Building 374 Process Waste Treatmerit System
associated with the treatment of the air stripper cleaning effluent.

Ion Exchan2e Treatment (Inor2anic Contaminant Removal)
4.3.4.1
Description
The ion exchange treatment system consistS of multiple units staged to remove the
inorganic contaminants from the ground-water (Figure 4-4). In the first stage, uranium is
removed in a strong base anion unit. Next, heavy metals including strontium and manganese
are removed with a weak acid cation unit. This unit also removes the total dissolved solids
(TDS) associated with carbonate hardness with subsequent production of carbonic acid. The
carbonic acid formed is removed by decarbonation (air stripping). Following decarbonati\on.
the flow is split between a two-bed demineralizer for TDS removal and an activated alumina
unit for selenium removal.
The two-bed demineralizer consists of a strong acid cation
exchanger and an anion exchanger arranged in series to further reduce TDS. The tre:lted

waters from the demineralizer and activated alumina units will be blended. resulting in a final
effluent which will meet all chemical-specific ARARs. A split f!ow is cost effective as it is
unnecessary to completely demineralize the entire flow. The ion exchange and activ:lted
. -
alumina resins both require periodic regeneration using HCl or NaOH. Rocky Flats' potable
water supply will provide the water for regeneration of all the units. The regeneration wastes
would be sent to the Building 3i4 Proc::ss Waste Tre:ltment System for final treatment and
disposal.
4.3.4.2
Ef f ecti veness
Ion exchange treatment technology has been proven to remove inorganic contaminants
from groundwater to levels that comply with the chemical- specific ARARs. Resins used to
adsorb contaminants require regener:ltion to maintain treatment levels.
All appropriate safety measures required when moving and installing large equip-ment
will be complied with during installation. Use of acids and caustics will require that operators
are aware of this potential hazard. The operation of the system will be by personnel that are

Over 99% of the uranium passing through the system will be removed in the strong base.
anion exchange unit containing Rohm and Haas IRA-402 in the chloride form. This unit will
selectively remove uranium, while allowing the other metaJs and major ions to pass through.
This is very advantageous because only this unit will be accumulating the radioactivity. This
unit will not be regenerated because uranium is not readily desorbed from the resin. Instead,
the unit will be shipped off-site and disposed as a low level radioactive waste when its activity
reaches a predetermin::.; level. Based on an influent uranium concentration of 16 pCi/1 and

resin volume of 28 ft3, this unit could be run for more th'an 30 years without exhausting the
resin.
The second exchange unit is a weakly acidic c:1tion exchanger operated in the hydrogen
form. The use of a weakly acidic resin has several advantages for this application. including
high regener:1tion efficiency, high operating capacity for carbonate hardness. and a strong
affinity for heavy metals. Rohm & Haas IRC-84 is the resin selected for its ability to remove
all heavy metals of int::rest. In addition, the hardness associated with bicarbonate alkalinity
is transformed by the exchange of hydrogen ions into carbonic acid which is removed in J
decarbonator where carbon dioxide is vented to the atmosphere.
Reduction of dissolved solids is effected by a two-bed demineralizer designed to work
in conjunction with the wcak acid cation exchanger and decarbonator. Rohm & Haas IR-120
is the resin of choice for the strong acid cation resin exchange. The anion portion of the two-
bed demineralizer will be composed of both strong base and weak base anion resins in a
"stratified bed" configuration. While a weak base resin alone would normally suffice here, the
acidity of the weak base resin would require subsequent caustic addition for pH contro!. The
inclusion of about 30% of a strong base resin in the anion exchange unit results in a neutral
pH with only a small penalty in caustic consumption. The resins of choice here are Rohm &
Haas Stratabed quality IRA-94 and IRA-402, respectively.

preceding the decarbonator will be regenerated with the regenerate ftom the strong acid unit
to effectively utilize the acid regenerate. The two-bed demineralizer is capable of removing
TDS to as low as 10 to 20 ppm.
To lower capital costs by reducing the equipment sizes. only one-third of the flow need
be demineralized to obtain the ARAR for TDS. The other two- thirds of the flow would be
fed through the activated alumina unit for selenium removal. Actual design conditions have
been selected for a 50/50 flow spilt to be conservative. This design reduces the volume of
regenerate chemicals needed as well as waste water produced. compared with sending all of
the flow through the demineralizer. Activated alumina regenerated with caustic soda and
operating on the slightly acidic effluent from the decarbonator provides the conditions to
optimize the selective adsorption of selenium. With a 50/50 flow split, the ARARs for both
TDS and selenium would be easily achieved in the final effluent. This system will include J
conductivity controller on the final plant effluent to automatically maintain the desired TDS
level.
The safety of nearby communities should not be adversely affected and the risk of
harm to the environment should not be increased as this treatment process will effectively
remove inorganic contaminants from the ground water.

The proposed system is designed for ease of operation and minimizes the volume of
regeneration wastes requiring treatment in the Building 374 Process Waste Treatment System.
Based on a flow rate of 30 gpm, 8 hours per day, and the influent characteristics indicated in
Table 4-1, regeneration of the exchange resins will be needed once every three days. A total'
of approximately 6,000 gallons of waste water will be produced each regeneration period.
This is equivalent to 14,000 gallons per week. It is estimated that the system will require 40
man-hours per month for operating, maintenance, and monitoring. The majority of this time
is required during the regeneration periods.

Costs
Estimated capital and operational costs for the ion exchange treatment unit are shown
in Table 4-5. The capital cost for the ion exchange system is 5287,500. The operational costs
include labor, power consumption, annual replacement of the strong base anion unit, and the
procurement of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide used for regeneration of the ionic
resi ns.
Assuming a 10% int(:rest rate, a 30-year operating life, and no salvage value, the present
worth of the system is 5699,500. These costs do not include any capital or operating costs
associated with the treatment and final disposal of the ion exchange and activated alumina
regeneration wastes. These waste streams will be treated in the Building 374 Process Wast(:

4.3.5
Electrodialvsis (Inor2anic Contaminant Removal)
4.3.5.1. Description
In the electrodialysis process, the application of an electrical potential between a
cathode and anode causes the separation of ionic components of a solution.
This is
accomplished by alternately placing anionic and cationic semipermeable membranes across the
current pathway. When a current is applied, the cations migrate toward the negative electrode
and the anions migrate toward the positive electrode. Because of the alternate spacing of
cation- and anion-permeable membranes, cells of concentrated and dilute salts are formed.
The electrodialysis process is shown in Figure 4-5.
Because electrodialysis will not meet
ARAR-based performance standards for selenium, ion exchange will also be required for
effective treatment. Furthermore, to avoid uranium loading on the selenium-specific exchange
unit (which would ultimately render it non-regenerable), a uranium-specific exchange unit is
necessary. Thus, the first unit used is a strong base anion exchanger designed selectively for
uranium removal. The ground water is then passed through an activated alumina unit prior
to electrodialysis to achieve selenium removal. This is necessary since vendors have indicated
that electrodialysis may not be capable of removing selenium to the ARAR of 0.01 mgjl. The
activated alumina would be sized to require regener:ltion once every three days. Rocky Flats'
potable water supply will be used to provide the water for regeneration.Following the
activated alumina unit, ground water to be treated is pumped through the electrodialysis
membranes which are separated by spacers and assembled into stacks. As the water passes
through, the salinity becomes more concentrated in one space, and less concentrated in the
adjacent space.
The water is passed through several stacks until the desired salinity
concentrations an: achieved. The water is usually retained for about 10 to 20 seconds in :l
single stack or stage. This process may be operated in either a continuous or batch mode.
Multiple units can be arranged either in parallel to provide the necessary hydraulic capacity
or in series to effect the desire4 degree of demineralization.
Makeup water is used to
continuously clean the semipermeable membranes during operation.

Err ecti veness
Electrodialysis ~s capable of removing all of the inorganics to below the chemical-
specific ARARs except for selenium. To accomplish the selenium removal, the activated.
alumina unit is used. Total dissolved solids (TDS) reduction can be controlled by adjusting
the current level in the electrodialysis unit. The system would be operated until the inorganic
chemical-specific ARARs in the ground water are all met, at which time further treatment
will be unnecessary. A strong base anion unit is used to remove the uranium. This unit will
not be regenerated, but will be periodically disposed as a low-level radioactive waste and
replaced. In this way, no radioactive regenerate wastes will be produced, and only one unit
need be handled and disposed as a radioactive waste.
Appropriate safety measures required when moving and installing large equipment will
be complied with during construction. The operation and maintenance of the system will be
by personnel who arc trained in the handling of hazardous chemicals as well as hazardous and
radioactive wastes. The operators will not be exposed to any chemical hazards during routine
system operation. The safety of nearby communities should not be adversely affected and the
risk of harm to the environment should not be increased.
The only other waste generated from the process requiring ultimate landfill disposal
will be the sa.lts produced in the Building 374 Process Waste Tre:ltment System. Thus, this
alternative minimizes the amount of waste requiring land disposal.

a widely used technology for this type of application, and the number of case studies 3vailable
for comparison is limited.
One problem associated with the use of the electrodialysis process involves the use.of .
the semipermeable membranes. These membranes are non-chemical- specific and cannot be
designed to selectively remove the metals of concern from the ground water. As with other
membrane processes, scaling and clogginOg of the membranes with salts of low solubility is a


potential problem. Precise process control and system monitoring arc required to ensure proper
membrane operation. The concentrate from the electrodialysis unit and the activated alumina
regeneration waste will both be tre:lted in the Building 374 Process Waste Treatment System.
Approximately 10% of the influent flow to the electrodialysis unit will be rejected as
concentr:w:. This concentrate. along with the activated alumina regeneration waste, will total
approximately 15.000 gallons per week. Since the concentrate will be sent to Building 374,
only 90% of the influent flow will be returned as treated effluent to the South Interceptor
Trench (see Section 4.5). The consumptive use of ground-water potentially tributary to the
° .
South Platte River normally requires an approved augmentation plan from the Colorado State
Engineer; however. an augmentation plan will not be required for the IRA because it is a
CERCLA action. Nevertheless the 10% return flow deficit will be replaced by the addition
of water from the Rocky Flats Plant potable water supply prior to discharge.
It is estimated that 60 man-hours per month will be required for operation.

4.3.6.2
Effectiveness
Reverse osmosis
treatment technology has been
proven to remove
inorganic
contaminants from ground water to levels that comply with the chemical- specific ARARs.
This technology does have several problems associated with fouling of the filter membrane
which can be mitigated by pretreatment to extend the membrane life.
Pretreatment with a strong acid anion exchange unit is used for selective uranIum
removal. This confines the buildup of radioactivity to this unit, which is advantageous from
:l health and safety and operational viewpoint. The performance of this unit is described more
fully in Section 4.3.4.3. The ground water is then passed through a weak acid cation exchange
unit followed by decarbonation for the removal of iron and manganese. This yields an acidic
feed which reduces the potential for scaling within the reverse osmosis unit. Based on the
influent design criteria indicated in Table 4-1, one vendor of reverse osmosis has indicated
that 12 membranes in series are required to achieve a permeate flow of 75% of the total flow
including recycle.
To lower the capital cost by reducing the reverse osmosis equipment sizes, only one-
third of the total flow need be sent through the reverse osmosis unit to obtain the ARAR for
TDS and metals other than selenium. The other two-thirds of the flow would be fed through
the activated alumina unit for selenium removal. With such a split flow, all of the inorganic
chemical- specific ARARs would be achieved in the final effluent.
Approximately 25% of the influent flow to the reverse osmosis unit will be rejected as
concentrate. This concentrate, as well as the regeneration wastes from the ion exchange units.

will total approximately 21.000 gallons per week. Since these wastes would be sent to Building
374. only 75% of the influent flow would be returned as treated effluent to the SO,uth
Interceptor Trench (see Section 4.5).
The consumptive use of ground-water potentially
tributary to the South Platte River normally requires an approved augmentation plan from the'
Colorado State Engineer; however, an augmentation plan will not be required for the IRA
because it is a CERCLA action. Nevertheless the 25% return flow deficit will be replaced by
the addition of water from the Rocky Flats Plant potable water supply prior to discharge.
The weak acid cation resin and activated alumina will have to be regenerated using
acid and caustic soda to maintain the tre:ltment efficiency. The use of acids and caustics will
require that operators are a ware of this potential hazard. The operation of the system will be
by personnel that are properly supervised and trained in the system operation and potential
hazards.
Treated water will be monitored to ensure that the removal of inorganic contaminants
is maintained prior to discharge to the environment.
Nearby communities and the environment should realize no safety concerns as this
tn:atment process will effectively remove inorganic contaminants from the ground water. No
short term safety concerns for nearby communities and the environment are anticipated
during implementation of this process.

Costs
Estima ted ca pi tal and oper:ltional costs for the reverse osmosis trea tmen t al terna ti ve
are shown in Table 4-7. The capital cost for the reverse osmosis system is $302,500. The.
operational costs include the costs of power. labor, membrane and resin replacement, and the
procurement of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide for regeneration of the cation resin
and activated alumina.
Assuming a 10% interest rate. a 30-year operating life. and no salvage value, the present
worth of the system is $853,500. These costs do not include any capital or operating costs
associated with the treatment and final disposal of the reverse osmosis concentrate and
regeneration wastes. These waste streams will be treated in the Building 374 Process Waste
Treatment System. The other two inorganic treatment systems being considered for use (ion
exchange and electrodialysis) also will be utilizing Building 374 for treatment of waste
products. The disposal costs of the strong base anion unit as a low-level radioactive waste
ha ve not been incl uded..

-------
Since all three processes will effectively decontaminate the ground-water, the ultimate
destruction of ground-water contaminants has become a factor in the choice of treatment. The
air stripping and activated carbon adsorption systems both use activated carbon, and with

regeneration, the contaminants that have adsorbed onto rhe carbon would eventually be .
destroyed. However, this assumes that the carbon is not radioactively contaminated, thereby
requiring shipment to the Nevada Test Site for disposal. Uranium, either naturally occurring
or resulting from past waste disposal, will likely adsorb to the activated carbon but would pass
through the UV /peroxide system. Although use of an ion exchange unit before activated
carbon treatment would obviate this issue, adsorption of organics on the exchange resin would
reduce resin performance and render this treatment scheme inefficient.
SARA favors
innovative tr:::ltment technologi::s that destroy contaminants, and UV /peroxide meets this
objective. Therefore, the advantage provided by a UV /peroxide system of directly destroying
the volatile organic ground-water contaminants is the deciding factor in selecting
UV /peroxide as the pn:ferred process for ground-water treatment.
4.4.2
Inorg:tnic Cont:tmin:tnt TrC::ltment Alt::rn:Hives
"
Based on eff::ctiveness and cost, ther:: is not a substantial difference betwe::n the thr::e
inorganic treatm::nt processes. All three are capable of meeting the chemical-specific ARARs,
and they compare favorably in terms of operational safety and environmental considerations.
The present worth of each alternative has been estimated assuming a simple interest rate of
10% over a 30-year period of operation with no salvage value. For ion exchange, the present
worth is $862,000; for electrodialysis, $1,007,000; and for reverse osmosis, $1,016.000. The
capital costs of the three alternatives are within roughly 10% of each other and are all
considered competi ti ve.
The electrodialysis and reverse osmosis processes are both membrane processes which
require a high degree of process control for effective operation. The membranes are very
sensitive to fouling, and proper pretreatment is needed to ensure steady performance over

time. The ion exchange process utilizes resin beds in place of membranes and is considered
more reliable for long term operation.
All these processes produce wastes which would be treated in the Building 374 Process.
Waste Treatment System. Electrodialysis and ion exchange produce nearly equal volumes of
waste (14,000-15,000 gallons per week). The reverse osmosis system produces roughly 50%
more, or 24.000 gallons per week.
In both the electrodialysis and reverse osmosis alternatives, a portion of the water being
tre:lted is discharged to Building 374 as process waste. This requires that a supplemental water
source is needed to augment the treated effluent prior to discharge in order to ensure complere
recharge. Since this interim remedial action is being executed under CERCLA, it would nor
be necessary to obtain a ground-water augmentation permit. However, Rockwell would be
required to maintain records documenting the augmentation and would have to sample rhe
supplemental water source periodically to ensure compliance with the ARARs. These tasks
represent an institutional requirement and cost (not included here) which ion exchange would
not be subject to. For this reason and reasons discussed above, ion exchange has been selected
as the preferred alternative fOI: the removal of the inorganic contaminants from the ground
water.
~.4.3
Preferred Ground W:Her Trea tment Svstem
As summarized above, the UV jperoxide treatment system has been selected for th:
removal of organic contaminants. and ion exchange for the removal of inorganic contaminants.
In order to maximize the overall system performance, the ground water will be treated as
shown in the flow diagram in Figure 4-7.
As shown in this figure, the ground water will be pumped into two surge tanks. The
surge tanks insure that the treatment system will receive a constant flow of 30 GPM, 8 hours

treatment system is not operating.
From the surge tanks, the water is pumped through filters to remove suspended solids.'
The water next is sent to the UV /peroxide unit where the volatile organic contaminants are
destroyed. While iron may be oxidized by the peroxide, the concentrations of ferric iron
formed will not adversely affect performance of the unit. Should the ferric iron precipitate
from solution within the resin bed of the weak acid cation unit, it will be removed during the
.
regeneration cycle with HC!.
Finally, the water is passed through the ion exchange units for the removal of uranium
and inorganic contaminants. With the exception of the uranium removal unit which is not
regenerated, the regenerate wastes from the other ion exchange resins are sent to Building 374
for final tre:ltment. Treated water is pumped to the effluent storage tanks for analysis prior
to discharge. Should the effluent Quality be unacceptable for discharge, the water will be
returned to the influent storage tanks [or further treatment.

intercept and contain all alluvial ground-water flowing from the area. A PVC drainage pipe
will direct flow under gravity to two 3-foot diameter concrete collection sumps. Each sump
will be equipped with a submersible sump pump to deliver water from the drain to the new'
treatment plant (see Section 4.4). Each of the two pumps will have sufficient capacity to
deliver the entire discharge of the drain to the treatment plant. The downgradient face and
bottom of the french drain and drain sump will be covered with a synthetic membrane to limit
flow from the clean side of the trench (Figure 4-9). The upgradient face of the french drain
.
will be covered with a geotextile filter fabric to minimize the intrusion of soils into the drain
rock. The fabric will be of a size that prevents clogging. The inclusion of the downstream
synthetic membrane coupled with the continuity of the drain is expected to provide positive
cutoff of the ground water. Water collected from a source well at SWMU 119.1 (a new well
near well 9-74) will also be treated in the new treatment plant. In addition, a sump will be
built to collect the flow from the Building 881 footing drain. Two sump pumps will be used
[0 transfer the footing drain flow to the treatment plant in a separate piping system. Effluent
from the treatment plant will be discharged to the South Interceptor Trench which flows into
Pond C-2. Pond C-2 discharges to Woman Creek under provision of RFP's NPDES Permit.
Flow from the trench could be on the order of 10 gpm initially, but is expected to drop
[0 less than 5 gpm within a few days. The combined steady state flow from the trench and
source well is estimated to be as low as 2 gpm. Flow from the Building 881 footing drain is
expected to be 5 gpm or less.
4.5.1.1
Eff ecti veness
The proposed interim action will collect ground water from the soils on the 881 Hillside
Area in a french drain with a downstream impermeable membrane. The french drain that will
be constructed Figure 4-8 on the 881 Hillside is intended to collect ground water containing
volatile organics from the colluvium/alluvium system. The drain will be keyed two feet into
bedrock of a hydraulic conductivity of 1 x 10-6 centimeters/second (cm/s) to fully penetrate

the colluvium so that ground water will not flow under the drain in the colluvium. The

bedrock has a hydraulic conductivity more than two orders of magnitude smaller than the
colluvium. Therefore, the drain will be effective in collecting colluvial ground water.
The penetration into bedrock is not intended to reduce the migration of contaminants
into bedrock. However, the installation and operation of the drain will have two beneficial
impacts on the bedrock ground-water flow system. First, the drain will slightly decrease the
rate of downward movement of colluvial ground water because the potentiometric surface in
...
the colluvium will gradually be lowered and, as a consequence, the gradient between the
colluvium and the bedrock will be slightly less.
Second, the drain will remove the
contaminated colluvial/alluvial ground water that is a potential source for contamination of
bedrock ground water. The interim action is intended to remove volatile organics form the
colluvial/alluvial ground-water and is anticipated that the french drain will be effective in
both collecting the colluvial/alluvial ground water and limiting releases from the 881 Hillside
Area.
The proposed treatment system will remove both the organic and inorganic ground-
water contaminants to below the chemical-specific ARARs given in Section 3.3.1. A complete
analysis of chemical-specific ARARs pertinent to subsurface discharge is presented in Section
3.3. Location-specific ARARs are discussed in Section 3.3.2.
The interim action at the 881 Hillside Area is expected to have minimal impacts on
Woman Creek. Although the french drain is expected to intercept all of the colluvial flow
from the hillside area, the water will be returned co the hillside by means of surface discharge
(after treatment) to the South Interceptor Ditch. The point of discharge will be at the west

end of the hillside area (upstream) and the discharged water will flow along the ditch to Pond
C-2. This should maintain the artificial wetland that exists in the South Interceptor Ditch.
The treated water is expected to return to the ground-water system by infiltration from the
South Interceptor Ditch and Pond C-2.

-------
Losses from the ground-water system resulting from the interim action arc expected to
be as follows:
.
It is possible that a certain diminution of flow in the creek will occur directly
downhill of the area because not all of the discharge will infiltrate from the
South Interceptor Ditch. However, this possible qiminution is expected to be.
negligible because the hillside area only amounts to about 10 percent of the
recharge area to the creek (total length of both banks is approximately 20,000
feet from the hillside to the headwaters of the creek, while the cut-off length
at the hillside is approximately 2,000 feet). In any event, the creek will be
nearly fully recharged by infiltration from Pond C-2.
Some evapor:1tion will occur from both the South Interceptor Ditch and Pond
C-2.
The impacts of the losses are expected to be negligible because the total flow currently
recharging the ground-water system of the Woman Creek Valley Fill Alluvium is a small
proportion of the total flow and most of the intercepted ground water will return to the system
in any event. The losses are expected to have no noticeable impact on the availability of
ground water off-site because the vast majority of the ground water in the Alluvium is
:urrently consumed by evapotranspiration within the plant boundary.
Worker safety precaution will be required during construction of this alternative
because of the potential for encountering contaminated soil or water in the excavation.


However, at the location of the drain it is expected that contamination in both soil and wa ter
will not be detected. The safety of nearby communities should not be adversely affected and
che risk of harm .to the environment should not be increased from the construction or
operation of this remedial action alternative. Treated water will be monitored to ensure
;:ontaminants arc within regulatory guidelines prior to discharge.
4.5.1.3
Implementability
French drains have been used successfully for many years for control of ground water.


French drains arc almost always effective, except when ground water can flow over,. under
or around the drain, or when the dr:iin becomes clogged. The drain. proposed for the 881
Hillside will fully penetrate the colluvium and be keyed into claystone bedrock. preclu.ding

-------
the possibility of flow under or over the drain. It extends uphill on the west side to an
elevation equal to that of SWMU 107 and is keyed into a dry ridge on the east end. This
should preclude flow around the drain. Clogging is not expected to be a problem based on past
experience of the footing drain at Building 881, which has been in service since the early.
1950's without clogging. Replacement of the pumps in the sumps should be expected as part
of routine operation.
Operation and maintenance requirements are small for a french drain. Flow to the
sump is by gravity. Liquid level controllers switch on a submersible pump in the central sump
whenever there is sufficient water present. A high level alarm will provide an indication of
pump failure although inspection of the french drain and pumping records on a weel(ly basis
will ensure that the collection system is functioning. Any necessary repairs will be undertaken
immediately. In addition, pairs of ground-water monitoring wells will be installed along the
trench upgradient and downgradient at locations where the colluvium is found to be saturated
or where subcropping sandstones are encountered (based on trench excavation) to monitor [he
effectiveness of the french drain in ,intercepting contaminated ground-water. Changes in

ground-water quality upgradient and down gradient of the french drain will also be monitored
by existing ground-water monitoring wells.
A large diameter withdrawal well will provide efficient dewatering of the alluvium
In the vicinity of well 9-74 and reduce pump cycling.
The well will be surrounded by
monitoring wells so th:lt an evaluation of the efficiency of the well can be easily made. It
appears likely that pumping of this well will be continuous for the first several years of
remediation, but may not be required later. This is due to the small amount of ground water
in the vicinity of SWMU 119.1. In contrast~ the footing drain at SWMU 107 has already been
functioning satisfactorily for thirty years and there is no reason to believe that this will
change. Collection of the footing drain flow will likely be required for the full thirty years
if the source of the contaminants cannot be identified and removed. A source characterization
study is currently in progress as part of the final RFI/RI and CMS/FS investigation process.

-------
Operation and maintenance requirements for collection of the footing drain flow are
minimal. Discharge from the drain will be pumped to the treatment plant based on liquid
level switches. Two pumps will be provided to protect against pump failur~. Operation and
maintenance of the dewatering well are similar. It too will be operated with a liquid level,
controller and requires little more than routine inspection. The system is highly implementable
because the withdrawal well and associated pumps and mechanical connections are standard
items.
Action-specific ARARs relating to soil excavation which may be pertinent to this
alternative include the requirements under RCRA that address the storage of RCRA wastes
in waste piles. and restrictions on the land disposal of solvent-containing wastes that exceed
.trI:atment-based standards for those constituents. Soils removed during excavation of the
french drain are down gradient of all 881 Hillside Area SWMUs and are not expected to
contain hazardous constituents. Also, influent and effluent piping is aligned to be outside all
SWMUs. As discussed in Section 6. soil sampling and analysis will be conducted to determine
if the exca va ted soils must be handled. as a RCRA hazardous waste. Of particular relevance
to the handling and storage of contaminated soil is the requirement, under RCRA, of diverting
run-on away from waste piles, preventing wind dispersal of wastes, and collecting free liquids
or leachate for treatment as a hazardous waste.
RCRA requirements for the storage of
contaminated soil in containers (roll-off boxes or drums) would also be relevant and
appropriate if containers are used for storage. With respect to RCRA restrictions on the land
disposal of salven t-containing wastes, after November 8, 1990 con taminated soils ma y not be
disposed off-sire in a RCRA landfill unless they have been analyzed and found to contain
levels of contamination below Best Demonstrated A vailable Technology (BDA T) for those
contaminants, or .treated to BDA T standards. Soils contaminated above the BDA T levels C:1n
only be .stored in containers and tanks for a period not to exceed one year.
O'nly non-
contaminated soils will be used as backfill material for the trenches.

Action-specific ARARs pertinent to surface discharge are the relevant and appropriate

requirements under RCRA for the storage and treatment of hazardous waste in containers and
tanks prior to surface discharge.
The design, operation, and maintenance of the treatment plant will meet chemical-
specific ARARs identified for the contaminants of concern and action-specific ARARs related
to the subsurface discharge of the tre:ltment system effluent. A complete ARARs analysis for
trea tmen t opera tions is given in Ta ble 3-3.
Highlights of these action-specific ARARs are listed below:

Applicable federaUy approved state water quality standards must be complied
with for discharges to surface or ground waters of the state. These standards
may be in addition to or more stringent than other federal standards under the
Clean Water Act.
General requirements for treatment and storage of RCRA hazardous waste in
containers and tanks are relevant and appropri:lte. Recordkeeping requirements
under these sections are not ARARs.
Implement:ltion of this alternative involves only routine construction procedures.
Construction of the drain can be completed in a period of approximately three months.
Ground water will be effectively contained at the beginning of construction when the
excavation is dewatered. The system will be operational immediately upon completion.

This alternative involves total encapsulation of the contaminant sources near SWMU
107 and within SWMU 119.1 using RCRA caps and slurry waUs at the locations shawn on
Figure 4-10. Each area will be covered with a three- layer cap consisting of six-inches of
vegetated topsoil, a minimum of six inches of drain rock, and a composite synthetic the cover
membrane/compacted soil cover of at least two-foot thickness (Figure 4-11). The surface of.

will be sloped at a minimum of 2% to drain toward peripheral ditches. The peripheral ditches
will discharge to the South Interceptor Trench. The cover at SWMU 107 is estimated to consist
of approximately 6,000 square feet; the cover at SWMU 119.1, approximately 80,000 square
feet. The covers will extend a minimum of five feet beyond the slurry walls.
Peripheral containment will be achieved by construction of soil-bentonite slurry walls
to completely encircle ,the contaminated soils. The walls will be keyed at least two feet into
claystone bedrock of a hydraulic conductivity of 1 x 10-6 cm/s. The SWMU 107 slurry wall
is estimated to be approximately 320 feet long and depths are anticipated to range from about
~ to 17 feet. It is estimated that the SWMU 119.1 wall will not exceed about 20 feet in depth
(15 feet average) and th:u it will be approximately 1,000 feet long. In addition, ground water
inside the containment systems will be removed using internal sumps. This will result in '
hydraulic gradients toward the encapsulated soil and will reduce the potential for any
releases. The small volume of water produced from the sumps will be stored in tanks on site
and be transferred to a suitable treatment facility. No capital or operating costs for this
treatment have been included.
The cap and perimeter ditches will be inspected on a semi-annual basis and repaired
as necessary. The ditches will be maintained in clean and properly graded condition so that
collected runoff is rapidly removed from the area.
4.5.2.2
Efr ecti veness
This alternative will adequately contain and immobilize the sources of contamination.
As discussed in Section 2, ground water contamination is known to exist downgradient of
SWMU 119.1 and may exist downgradient of SWMU 107. These waters will be released to the
environment. This is expected to nominally impact the quality of the ground water within the
Valley Fill Alluvium. Therefore, this alternative minimizes future contaminant migration
from the sources and thus minimizes future public exposure to contaminants off-site while
the Final RFI/RI and CMS/FS activities are completed.

-------
Partial control of the SWMUs will be achieved as soon as the peripheral containment
structures are constructed. Full control will not be achieved until the entire system is complete
and pumping of the sumps begins.
Worker safety precaution will be required during construction of this alternative and
during monitoring and dewatering operations. In addition, safety precautions will be required
during excavation for and construction of the compacted soil barrier walls. The safety of
nearby communities should not be adversely affected and the risk of harm to the environment
should not be increased during construction or operation of this alternative.
~.5.2.3
Implementa bility
Infiltration and ground-water flow through the SWMUs is expected to be practically
eliminated by the total encapsulation system. As a consequence, the release of contaminants
from the SWMUs is also expected to be eliminated. It is noted that the system will not be as
effective if the SWMU areas are not underlain by continuous claystone.
The useful life of the total encapsulation system is expected to exceed thirty years. The
;:ontainment features involving geologic materials (slurry wall and compacted soil cover)
should function indefinitely, particularly given that flow through them will be from the non.
contaminated to the contaminated side. The synthetic membrane can be expected to function
adequately for at least twenty years, and it is backed-up by the compacted soil layer. The
vegetated cover and peripheral ditches will require regular maintenance. and the internal sump
will require regular operation.
The technologies proposed in this alternative :ue all proven technologies. The multi-
layer cap system has been used for nearly ten years with good success at many sites. Soil-

bentonite slurry walls have also been used for many years to effectively control ground-water
flow.
The gradient control provided by the sump is a modification of the standard
encapsulation system and should provide an extra level of protection.

JANUARY 1990

-------
Operation and maintenance requirements are very small for the total encapsulation
alternative. There are essentially no operational requirements, with the exception of routine

pumpage of the sump. This is expected to be required no more frequently than annually after
[he initial dewatering. Maintenance will involve inspection and cleaning of peripheral ditches,
inspection and repair of the vegetated cover, and inspection and replacement of the sump
pump; In addition, ground-water and surface water conditions in the vicinity of the 881
Hillside Area will be monitored.
This alternative can be implemented using standard construction practices. Seaming
of synthetic membranes has become common enough that a qualified local contractor can be
used. Construction of the encapsulation systems will require about three months.
Construction of a slurry wall at SWMU 119.1 may prove impractical where the wall runs
parallel [0 [he grade (slope may be [00 steep). For the two legs of the wall running up the hill,
i[ is recommended that a compacted soil cutoff wall be constructed in an excavated trench.
The trench will probably vary from 3:bout 15 feet deep :It the downhill end to about 2 feet
deep at the uphill end. The trench can be excavated with standard e:lrth-moving equipment.
Some of the excavated material may be suitable for use in constructing the wall. The length
of compacted wall is estimated to be 600 feet, while the remaining slurry portion is about 400
feet long. A compacted soil wall is expected to provide performance characteristics equivalent
[0 a sl urry wall.
MateriJI for construction of the compacted soil cover and wall can be obtained from
the ArJpahoe Formation. The Arapahoe is covered by a thin veneer of colluvium along
Woman Creek and could be excavated from a number of nearby areas; however, in order to
a void oversteepening the slopes, the borrow area should be established on the south side of
Woman Creek.
ARARs pertinent to the total encapsulation alternative include
the relevant and
appropriate requirements under RCRA that address the technical specifications of capping

-------
closure and post-closure care. In addition, soil that is excavated must be handled as a
hazardous waste until sampling and analysis are performed (see Section 4.5.1.3).
Wastewater that is recovered from the source well within the encapsulated area must.
be treated in a facility operating in compliance with the substantive requirements of RCRA.
If recovered ground-water is to be treated on site in a treatment facility, specific RCRA
requirements for the treatment of.
hazardous waste are relevant and appropriate.
If
wastewater is transported off site, both the substantive and administrative requirements of
RCRA will apply to the wastewater management. A complete analysis of chemical-, location-
and action-specific ARARs is presented in Section 3.3.

4.5.3.1
Description
This alternative involves pumping:1 new source well (located near 9-74) at SWMU 119.1
Jnd collection of the footing drain discharge in a new sump near SWMU 107 (Figure 4-12).
The collected water will be treated in the new treatment plant (see Section 4.4) and discharged
to the South Interceptor Trench which flows into Pond C-2. Pond C-2 discharges to Woman
Creek under provisions of a NPDES Permit.
It is estimated that flow from a completely dewatered 9-74 will initially be about I gpm
but will rapidly fall to a steady flow of about 0.04 gpm. It is anticipated that the flow from
the drain will be five gpm or less.
4.5.3.2
Effectiveness
Removal of the majority of contamination in the vicinity of we119-74 will significantly
minimize off-site migration of contaminants. Future off-site public exposure to the

contaminants is unlikely. However, the migration of contaminated alluvial ground water
beyond the 881 Hillside Area is more probable than that expected for Alternative 1 which
utilizes a french drain for ground water collection.
The proposed treatment system will remove both the organic and inorganic ground-
water contaminants to below the chemical-specific ARARs given in Section 3.3.1. A complete
analysis of chemical-specific ARARs pertinent to surface discharge is presented in Section
3.3. Location-specific ARARs are discussed in Section 3.3.2.
The safety of nearby communities should not be adversely affected and the risk of
harm to the environment should not be increased from the construction or operation of this
interim action alternative. Treated water will be monitored to ensure contaminants are within
regulatory guidelines prior to discharge.
..U.3.3
Implementa bili ty
The useful life of this alternative is expected to exceed thirty years. A large diameter
withdrawal well will provide efficient dewatering of the alluvium in the vicinity of well 9-i4.
The well will be surrounded by monitoring wells so that an evaluation of the efficiency of the


well can be easily made. It appears likely that pumping of this withdrawal well will be
continuous for the first several years of remediation. but may not be required later. This is
due to the small amount of ground water in the vicinity of SWMU 119.1.
The footing drain at SWMU 107 has already been functioning satisfactorily for thirry
years and there is no reason to believe that this will change. Collection of the footing drain
flow will likely be required for the full thirty years if the source of the contaminants cannot
be identified and removed.
Operation and maintenance requirements for collection of the footing drain flow arc
minimal. Discharge from the drain will be pumped to the treatment plant based on liquid

level controls. Two pumps will be provided to protect against pump failure. Operation and
maintenance of the dewatering well are similar. It too will be operated with a liquid level
controller and reQuiresli_ttle more than routine inspection: The system is highly implementable

because the withdrawal well and associated pumps and mechanical connections are standard,
items.
The design, operation, and maintenance of the treatment plant will meet chemical-
specific ARARs identified for the contaminants of concern and action-specific ARARs related
to the surface discharge of the treatment system effluent. A complete ARARs analysis for
tre:ltment operations is given in Table 3-3.
Highlights of these action-specific ARARs are listed below.
General requirements for tre:ltment and storage of RCRA hazardous waste in
containers and tanks are relevant and appropriate. Recordkeeping requirements
under these sections are not ARARs.
Applicable federally approved state water Quality standards must be complied
with for discharges to suriac: or ground water of the st:lte. These standards
may be in addition to or more stringent than other Federal Standards under the
Clean Wa ter Act.'
Implement:ltion of this alternative involves only routine construction procedures. The
system will be operational immediately upon completion.

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR At TER~ATTVES
Cost estimates wer: prepared using in-house computer software and unit rates. In-
house unit rates are based upon Rocky Flats Plant experience in planning and managing
similar construction projects at this site. Other recognized references were used where site
specific unit rates were unavailable and for comparison or checking. These documents include:

Costs are reported in 1989 dollars for both initial and future costs. Future costs include
replacement of capital cost items (e.g., monitor wells or non-expendable items) and cyclic costs,
such as operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, energy costs, and expendable supplies. Life
cycle costs for each alternative have been presented, in 1989 dollars, as present worth coSts'
assuming a discount rate of 10%, a duration of active remedy of thirty years, and no salvage
value for purchased equipment.
Costs were analyzed by first identifying capital items common to one or more remedial
alternatives. These capital items and associated costs are presented for each alternative in
T:1ble 4-8. Similarly, identified cyclic COSts for each alternative are presented in Table 4-9.
Present worth analyses are performed by using the total costs presented in Tables 4-8
:1nd 4-9, and assuming the duration of the remedy is thirty years.
Year "0" begins upon
initiation of design and construction activities, and system operations will continue through
[he end of year 30. A thirty-year period was selected as the expected duration of the IRA for
use in cost analyses for two principal reasons; 40 CFR 264.117 requires a minimum of 30 ye:lrS


post-closure monitoring, and beyond 30 years present value costs are less than 6% of [heir
future worth and thus become insignificant with respect to these analyses. These schedule
:1ssumptions are made to facilitate comparisons between alternatives and do not supersede any
existing schedules cre:lted as a result of any administrative rule, statute. or agreement with
:1gencies authorized to regula te remedial acti v i ties a t this si te. The presen t worth anal ysis (i n
1989 dollars) is presen ted for each al terna ti ve in Ta ble 4-10.
Rigorous sensitivity analyses demonstrating the effect of possible variations or
. inaccuracies in assumptions or estimates have not been performed. Only one parameter. the
duration of active remedial measures, was identified as being significant with respect to
sensitivity analyses. However, uncertainties in the rates of reclamation of the alternatives
prevents performance of more rigorous analyses.

The following al terna ti ves were retained in the screening process and eval ua ted in
detail in Section 4.
I.
Collection of ground water using a french drain and a -source well, collection
of footing drain flow from SWMU 107, treatment of collected water in a new
treatment plant and discharge of the tre:ued water to the South Interceptor
Trench down gradient of the 881 Hillside.
2.
Total encapsulation of source areas using a multi-layer cap and slurry well with
control of gradients by pumping an internal sump (dewatering fluids to be

Collection of ground water using a source well, collection of footing drain fJow
from SWMU J07, treatment of colJected water at a new tre:ltment pJant, and
discharge of the tre:lted water to the South Interceptor Trench down gradient of
the 88 J HiIJside.
3.
AJ tern a ti ve I is the most ex tensi ve in teri m action considered and w ilJ resu I tin
effective collection of the contaminated 88J HiIJside Area ground water. The french drain
wilJ significantly reduce contaminant rc:!eases to the alluvial ground water downgradient 01
the 88 J HiIJside Area. ColJection of the Building 881 footing drain flow and pumping of a
new well at SWMU 119.1 wilJ result in collection of any contaminated water from these areas.
The ground-water treatment system will effectively remove both the organic and inorganic
contaminants in the ground water to below the chemical-specific ARARs. Discharge of the
treated water into the South Interceptor Trench allows for the water to be combined with Pond
C-2 water before final discharge off-site in accordance with Rocky Flats Plant NPDES Permit.

-------
Total encapsulation (Alternative 2) will not destroy the contaminants present, but will
contain them in place. It will significantly reduce future contaminant releases from the
encapsulated SWMUs. However, a small Quantity of ground water with concentrations of

VOCs less than 150 ugll will be released. The portion of this water that is not consumed by'
evapotranspiration will ultimately reach the Woman Creek Valley Fill Alluvium and flow east
toward the property boundary. It is unlikely that volatile organics will ever be detected at the
boundary from this release. This alternative uses proven technology intended for much higher
contamination levels than are present on the 881 Hillside. However, public reception of this
may be unfa vorable due to the contaminant releases to the Valley Fill Alluvium.
Collection of the footing drain flow and pumping of a new well at SWMU 119.1 with
treatment of collected water (Alternative 3) is a limited-scope response that should make a
significant impact on releases from the two SWMUs.
However, this alternative is not as
effective as Alternative I in capturing contaminated ground water.
Although volatiles
';urrently are not detectable in the surface waters receiving flow from the footing drain.
collection and treatment of the footing drain flow will provide an extra level of assurance that
significant releases will not occur in the future. Pumping the well completed in the center of
SWMU 119.1 will clearly improve conditions by removing the most contaminated ground water.
Continued pumping may result in complete dewatering of the colluvial materials beneath the
SWMU because of limited recharge to the area. As with Alternative I, the ground-wa ter
treatment system will effectively remove both the organic and inorganic contaminants to
below the chemical-specific ARARs.

SECTION 6.0
PROPOSED 1M/IRA
6.1
SUMMARY
Alternative 1 has been chosen as the proposed interim remedial action. This alternative
involves construction of a french drain (trench) to intercept contaminated alluvial/colluvial
ground water from the 881 Hillside Area. The drain will be located downgradient of the 881
Hillside SWMUs. will be keyed into bedrock in order to fully penetrate the soils. and will be
1.1 00 feet long.
The bedrock lithology and hydraulic conductivity will be verified before construction
of the french drain begins. This verification program will consist of drilling the drain
alignment on lOa-foot centers (22 holes along the approximately 2.100 foot long drain). This
boring program will be extended to include SWMU 119.2 to confirm the absence of a satur:lted
colluvial zone.
If saturated colluvial material is encountered. the french drain will be
extended to collect ground water from the SWMU 119.2 area.
The holes will be drilled using hollow stem augers to the top of bedrock. Discrete
samples will be collected every two feet for VQC analysis. and four foot composite samples
will be collected for analysis of metals. inorganics and radionuclides. The proposed french
drain alignment will be re-evaluated if VOCs are detected in the samples. This information
will also be used to determine the final disposition of soils excavated during french drain
construction. Boreholes on lOa-foot centers will also be drilled along the influent and effluent
piping alignment. Boreholes will be drilled to the proposed piping depth. and soils will be
sampled and analyzed as above to determine the final disposition of this excavated soil.
In order to confirm the hydraulic conductivity of the bedrock material and to
determine the presence of sandstone units which could adversely affect the performance of
the french drain. the bedrock will be cored, using the augers as a surface casing. Penetration

of the bedrock will be sufficient (1 S feet) to find sandstone units that might subcrop between
borings on lOa-foot centers. This is based on the 7 degree estimated dip of the sandstone lenses
(Rockwell International, 1988a). The hydraulic conductivity of the bedrock will be verified
by injection tests on five foot intervals using a single packer injection apparatus as the cored'
hole ad vances.
Data collected in this program will be used to develop the detailed design of the drain.
Required penetration into bedrock, and trench alignment, bottom slopes, and sump locations
will be selected based on the results of volatile organic analysis, the depth to bedrock and the
hydraulic conductivity of the bedrock materials. The drain will penetrate a minimum of two
feet into bedrock with a hydraulic conductivity of IxIO-6 centimeters per second (cm/s) or
lower. The penetration requirement may result in deeper penetration of the drain into bedrock
containing sandstones and additional sumps to collect drain inflow at these and other low
points.
A Job Safety Analysis USA) will be prepared before construction that will specify dust
..
control measures to limit dust inhalation exposures. These measures include the premoistening
of the excavation area with a sprinkler system for three days prior to start-up, and the:
continued moistening of the site throughout the excavation. Ambient air high volume air
s:lmplers will be used to measure radiation and wind velocity. These will be installed before:
commencement of construction.
Operations will be suspended by requirements in the
Occupational Safety Analysis (OSA) if wind velocity exceeds 15 mph or alpha radiation
exceeds 0.03 DCi/m3 as measured by a high volume sampler located immediately downgradie:nt
of the construction activities. Furthermore, construction traffic will be carefully routed to
further minimize release of any plutonium contaminated dust. A Health and Safety Plan will
also be prepared for construction activities that will supplement the JSA.
During construction of the french drain, the excavation will be inspected by a Colorado
registered geotechnical engineer to verify and document the suitability of the materials into
which the drain is keyed. Ground-water monitoring wells will be installed upgradient and

downgradient of the french drain at locations where the colluvial material is saturated or
subcropping sandstones are encountered to monitor the effectiveness of the ground water
collection system.
A PVC drainage pipe inside the drain will direct flow under gravity to two 3-foot
diameter collection sumps. Each sump will be equipped with a submersible sump pump to
deliver the water from the drain to the new treatment plant. The downstream face of the
french drain will be covered with a synthetic membrane to limit flow from the clean side of
the drain. The inclusion of the downstream synthetic membrane coupled with the continuity
of the drain will provide positive cutoff of the ground water. The upgradient face of the
french drain will be covered with a geotextile filter fabric to minimize intrusion of soils into
the drain rock. The fabric pores will be of a size that prevents clogging.
Water collected from a source well at SWMU 119.J (a new withdrawal well near well
9-74) will also be treated in the new treatment plant. In addition, a sump will be built to
collect the flow from the Building 881 footing drain.
Two sump pumps will be used to
transfer the footing drain flow to the treatment plant in a separate piping system.
The ground water collected will be treated using a UV peroxide system (for organics
removal) and an ion exchange system (for inorganics removal). A new building will be erected
for enclosure of the water treatment system to protect weather or temperature sensitive
components. External water pipes will be buried approximately four feet to protect against
f reezin g.
Fire protection within the building will be provided by two wall mounted 25 pound
dry chemical type fire extinguishers. The building and all treatment units are constructed of
non-combustibles. Other than minimal files and records, no combustible materials will be
maintained within the building. Major components of the treatment system include:

As shown in Figure 6-1, all of the collected ground water will be pumped into the surge
tanks.
As the flows from the different sources are expected to vary, the surge tanks will
ensure a constant flow through the tre:ltment unit at 30 gpm. 8 hours per day. These tanks will
also provide approxim:ltely two days collection potential when the treatment unit is down for
repairs, cleaning, etc.
When the treatment is initiated, the water will be pumped from the surge tanks through
filters to remove suspended materials. The filters will be placed in descending order of size
to remove progressively smaller particulates. The water will next enter the UV /peroxide
trea tmen t uni t.
The UV /peroxide tn:atment unit consists of an 80-gallon stainless steel oxidatio:1
chamber, which provides for a maximum ground-water retention time of 2.66 minutes at a
system flowrate of 30 gpm. The oxidation chamber contains four medium pressure UV lamps.
which are mounted horizontally in quartz sheaths. A hydrogen peroxide feed system is used
to inject approximately 140 mg/l (50 mg/l per ppm of organic contaminants) of a 50 percent
H~:02 solution into the ground-water feed line. The ground-water/peroxide mixture then
passes through an in-line static mixer before entering the bottom of the oxidation chamber.

The ground water then flows through the reaction chamber, passing the UV lamps, before ir
exits the top of the oxidation chamber. As the ground water passes the UV lamps, the organic
contaminants will be effectively destroyed to comply with chemical- specific ARARs.
The water is then sent to the ion exchange system for inorganic contaminant removal.
The water first passes through a strong base anion exchanger where uranium is selectively
removed, to prevent contamination of downstream treatment units. The water then passes
through a weak acid cation exchanger, where heavy metals are removed.
This unit also
transforms the total dissolved solids (TDS) associated with carbonate hardness into carbonic
acid. The carbonic acid is subsequently removed by decarbonation. Following decarbonation.
the flow is split between a two-bed demineralizer for TDS removal, and an activated alumina
unit for selenium n:moval. The effluent from these two units are blended to produce a final
effluent which will meet or exceed all chemical-specific ARARs.
The ion exchange resins and activated alumina require periodic regener:ltion to
maintain tre:ltment effectiveness. However. the strong base anion exchanger for uranium
. .
removal will not be regenerated, but instead will be periodically disposed of as low-level
radioactive waste and replaced with a new unit. Rocky Flats' potable water supply will be
used to provide the water for the regeneration of all the units. The regeneration wastes will
be sent to the Building 374 Process Waste Treatment System for final treatment and disposal.
Following treatment, the water will be directed to an effluent storage tank sized for
one week's flow. Sufficient tankage will be provided to allow the continued operation of the
tre:ltment facility whiie waiting for analytical results on effluent quality prior to discharging
to the South Interceptor Ditch. Effluent of unacceptable quality will be returned to the
influent storage tanks for additional treatment.
Effluent will always be analyzed prior to
discharge.
All tanks, piping and sumps will be equipped with secondary containment to comply
with 6 CCR 1007-3 and 40 CFR 264.193.

Water disl;harged from the treatment system will pass through Pond C-2 and eventually
into Woman Creek. This discharge is monitored, according to the Rocky Flats Plant NPDES
Permit which was modified on II July 1989 on a temporary basis by the Colorado Water
Quality Control Commission. The modification calls for analysis of organic and inorganic'
contaminants in ground water at the RFP, which include promulgated in-stream standards for
Walnut and Woman Creek.
Alternatives to direct discharge of treated effluent that were evaluated during the FS
incl ude ground-water reinjection down gradient of the french drain in the Valley Fill
I
Alluvium. and ground-water reinjection upgradient of the 881 Hillside Area to facilitate soil
washing.
Ground-water reinjection for soil washing can hasten the removal of volatile
organics from contamin:lted soils and ground water.
However, the effectiveness of this
technology in the clayey soils of the 881 Hillside Area is uncertain. The technology may be
an appropriate addition to this remedial action in the future if cleanup is deemed to be
proceeding slower than expected. The reinjection of treated ground water downgradient of
the french drain is deemed not to be necessary because of the interaction between surface
water and alluvial ground water.

PROPOSED
INTERIM MEASURES/INTERIM REMEDIAL
ACTION PLAN AND DECISION DOCUMENT
881 HILLSIDE AREA
(OPERABLE UNIT No.1)
RESPONSIVENESS SUMMARY
U.S. Department of Eners:y
Rocky Flats Plant
Golden, Colorado

-------
A.
OVERVIEW
The Department of Energy (DOE) is pursuing an Interim Measure/Interim Remedial
Action (1M/IRA) at the 881 Hillside Area (Operable Unit No. 1) at the Rocky Flats Plant
(RFP). This interim action is to be conducted to minimize the release of hazardous substances
from this Area that pose a potential long-term threat to the public health and environment.
The plan involves the collection of contaminated ground water, treatment by UV /hydrogen
peroxide oxidation and ion exchange, and surface discharge of treated water that meets or
exceed applicable water quality standards for parameters kno~n to be present in the ground
wa ter.
Complete information is presented in the document entitled "Final Interim
Measures/Interim Remedial Action Plan and Decision Document, 881 Hillside Area, Operable
Unit No. I", dated January, 1990 Information concerning the proposed Interim Remedial
Action was presented during a public meeting held from 6 to 10 p.m.. Thursday, November 9,
1989, at the Front Range Community College in Westminster, Colorado.
This Responsiveness Summary presents all comments rec::ived at the public meeting,
and DOE's response to those comments. Many of the comments were peripheral to the interim
action plan; however, there were a number of technical comments on the plan that DOE fe::ls
ha ve been addressed herein.
Two major issues that arose were the potential release of
plutonium contaminated dust during construction of the interim action, and the routing of
Woman Creek flow around Standley Lake, the drinking water supply for Westminster,
Thornton, and Northglenn (Woman Creek is the proposed drainage where the effluent is to be
discharged). The potential release of plutonium contaminated dust is addressed in the response
to comment 6. The discharge to Woman Creek is discussed in the response to comment 1. There
is mixed public opinion on routing of the flow around Standley Lake, and in many respects
the issue is not germane to the proposed interim action (see our response to comment I).
Relative to the comments received at the public meeting, the public is generally in favor of
the proposed interim action plan.
As with the issues mentioned above, there are at times several comments referring to
the same issue. To facilitate cross referencing, issues where there were multiple commc:nts are
presented below with the associated comment numbers.

B.
BACKGROUND ON COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The Communications Dcpartmcnt at Rocky FlatS is dcvcloping a Community Relations
-
Plan to actively involvc the public in the decision-making process as it relates to
environmental restoration activities. A work plan has been completed and forwarded to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). the Colorado Department of Health (CD H). and the
public Cor review. The work plan speciCies timeliness and activitics planncd to complctc thc
Community Relations Plan. including plans Cor community interviews. Public qucstionnaircs
rclated to development of the plan have been distributed during Aublic meetings Cor additional
input.
In the meantime. efforts have been made to keep the public informed. and solicit public
opinion. on current environmental restoration efforts. including the 881 Hillside Area. Notices
were published in area newspapers announcing the availability of the public comment period
on thc Proposcd Interim Measurcs/Interim Rcmedial Action Plan and Decision Document Cor
the 881 Hillside Area.
The public comment period was extended to provide adequate
opportunity Cor public comment. A public presentation on the plan was madc during the
October meeting of the Rocky Flats Environmental Monitoring Council, while a second
meeting to hear public comment on the Proposed Interim Remedial Action Plan was conducted
Novcmber 9. 1989. at the Front Range Community College. Copies oC appropriate documents
are available Cor public review at the Rocky FlatS Public Reading Room. U.S. EPA. and CDH.
The Communications Department also is continuing other public information efforts
to ensure the public is kept informed oC environmental restoration activities and other issues
which relate to plant operations. A Speakers Bureau program sends speakers to civic groups
and educational organizations. while a public tour program allows the public to visit Rocky
Flats. Road tours of areas such as the 881 Hillside are common during public tours. as well
as other tours arranged Cor public officials. An Outreach Program also is in place where plant
officials will visit elected officials. the news mcdia, and business and civic organizations to
further discuss issues related to Rocky Flats and environmental restoration activities. The
Communications Department also rcceivcs numerous public inquiries which are answered
~~\gl~\~

-------
during telephone conversations, or by sending written informational materials to the requestor.
Errorts a150 are under way to expand the Public Reading Room to an offsite location
more easily accessible to the public, further ensuring public access to information about the
plant. The readinl room wi11 housc all pcrtincnt public documents about the plant and
ongoing cnvironmcntal restoration activities.

RESPONSES TO COMMENTS RECEIVED DURING PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
\
On November 9, 1989. DOE held a public meeting to receive commentS on the 881
Hillside Area 1M/IRA. These comments are presented here in the order they were received at
the public meeting. If written commenu were also provided, they are presented here in lieu
of the transcription of the verbal comments made at the meeting. However, if verbal
comments requiring a DOE response were presented at the meeting that are not reflected in
the written cODUllents, they bave also been included here. Written comments were also
provided by the City of Thornton and EPA tbat were not verbally presented at the public
meeting. neir respective comments are at the end of tbis section. 'The comments have been
subdivided at points where the issue or subject changes, and the DOE response directly follows.
All comments have been numbered sequentially to allow cross-referencing of responses.
COMMENTOR:
George Hovorka, Mayor, City of Westminster
Commen.t 1
I'm appearing on behalf 0/ the City to comment on the Proposed Imerim Measuresllmerim
Remedial Action Plan and Decision Document/or the 88/ Hillside Area.
The City 0/ Westminster supports the concept and plan to take immediate action to imercept and
treat comaminated ground water at the 88/ Hillside area. Failure to take such action could lead
to the adverse impacts to the City's WaleT supply,. Standley Lake, which is located downstream of
the 88/ Hillside. Standley Lake supplies wateT to over /80.000 people in Westminster. ThoTn.ton and
Northglen.n. as well as irrigation wateT lor shareholders in the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation
Company. Therefore. it is imperative that this work begin as soon as possible to protect the
downstream water users. Westminster submits the following commems on the proposed plan:
The proposed plan calls /0' the water to-be discharged to the south interceptor trench after it has
been treated. The water then/lows into Pond C-Z. which is periodically discharged to Woman Creek.
which flows imo Standley lake. The City of Westminster strongly opposes this aspect of the plan
in the absence 0/ an imerceptor canal around Standley Lake. E//luem generated at Rocky Flats
should IlOt be allowed to emer Standley Lake in order to protect public health. DOE's actions to
oppose the permanent adoption 0/ a water supply classification and associated standards for
Woman Creek would further weaken the protection 0/ Standley Lake. increasing the City's resistance
to this proposed discharge. .

DOE's opposition to the standards goes against DOE's "good neighbor" policy which they have
publicly stated. Westminster, Thormon and North glenn have been working with DOE on developing
plans /01' the imerceptoT canal. However. no definite solution has been developed. Such an
imerceptor canal would not only protect Standley Lake during com rolled discharges. but also during
accidentS and unknown releases.
ROllling all water from Rocky Flats around Standley Lake effectively solves DOE's credibility
problem with the general public. as the water can no longer impact the water supply. WithoUt the
imerceptor canal, however, the City must seek the most stringent protection available to maimain
its high quality water supply. Therefore. Westminster must oppose discharge to the south imerceptor
trench. Once an interceptor canal around Standley Lake is in place. the discharge as proposed
would be acceptable.
ReSDonse to Comment I
DOE recognizes and completely understands the concern of users of Standley Lake that
potentially contaminated water could be released from the Rocky Flats Plant and enter this
body of water used for drinking, agricultural, and recreational purposes. The issue goes
beyond whether the effluent from the interim action treatment system is discharged into
Woman Creek via Pond C-2. DOE is studying the issue and has met and will continue to meet
with the representatives of the neighboring cities, EPA and CDH to discuss the matter. We do
rockweJ1\881ha \I'8pIUIDoDIU

-------
note that there is public opposition to such a diversion canal (See comment 21). In the mean
time. the water in Pond C-2 will continue to be chemically analyzed before it is released to
assure that the concentrations of all chemical constituentS are below the applicable Colorado
Department of Health water quality standards set fOr the protection of public health and the
environment. This. monitoring is required by the Plant"s Nation~l Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit. .

We inadvertently omitted the width of the french drain. It will be two feet wide and is
located hydraulically downgradient of confirmed organically contaminated alluvial ground
water. The chemical data arc shown in Table 2.2 (upgradient of the fre,ncb drain) and Table
2.3 (downgradient of the french drain) of the plan ( also see discussion on page 2-29). The
treatment facility will be on-line to treat ground water collected during construction of the
french drain (see the schedule on page 3-2 of the plan). Detailed design plans can be provided
to the City of Westminster. .

COMMENTOR:
Joe Tempel, President, Rocky Flats Cleanup Commission
Comment 3
First 01 all, the public should be aware that this document describes the cleanup 01 only 12 o/the
J 66 poJiuted sites at Rocky Flau. These sites contain cancer-causing volatile organic compounds
and uranium tainted soils tluu have leached into the groundwater. These sites ha'Ve been given
priority lor cleanup because the volatile org!U'ic compounds ha'Ve percolated down to the
groundwater which enters Woman's Creek which drains into Standley Resenoir, the drinking water
supply lor the northern suburbs. To put this cleanup proposal in another perspective: it will cost
approximately $6 million to construct and operate compared to an estimate 01 $1 billion to cleanup
the entire plant site. Therelore, while the RFCC is very excited that cleanup is linally progressing,
this action is only the tip o/the iceberg,' or should we say the tip 0/ the trash pile.
ReSDonse to"Comment 3
We are aggressively putsuing the investigation and cleanup of the Rocky Flats Plant.
Investigations have been conducted at the 881 Hillside Area, the: 903 Pad, Mound and East
Trenches Areas, and at various units being cleaned up under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act. We are spending approximately S 6S million in fiscal year 1990 on
environmental restoration activities. Construction of the fin.&l remedy for the 881 Hillside
Area is scheduled to begin in 1994.
Comment 4
Tire public should also be aware that cleanup will take a very long time at the rate DOE is
progressing. The purpose 0/ the IRA is to begin cleanup on a temporary basis until a permanent
solmion can be agreed upon. Unfortunately, the temporary solution will not be operational until the
Spring 0/ 1991. about a year and a hal/away from now. This is not acceptable. Cleanup should
be accelerated at the plant.
ReSDonse to Comment 4
We understand how the time frame for design, procurement and construction appears lengthy,
However, given the size of the project, the 1.1/2 year time frame is not unreasonable. These
activities occur in sequence, and several months is required for the procurement of some
equipment once it is ordered from the vendor. However, we would like to point out that
tre:ument of contaminated ground water will begin by December 19, 1990. These dates are
reflected" in the schedule on page 3.2 of the plan.
Comme1lt 5
It is unclear when the permanent solution /01' these J 2 sites will be in place because no schedule has
been produced by DOE. This schedule is to be outlined in an Intergovernmental Agreement (lAG)
which was due in October. In fact the permanent solution has been under study since 1987 when
work began on the Remedial Investigation/ Feasibility Study 881 Hillside. These reportS have still
"ot been completed because 0/ the inadequacies in the draft reportS. The following inadequacies
were idemi/ied by the DOE Special Assignment Environmental Team in their Report entitled
.. Assessment 01 the Environmental Conditions at the Rocky Flats Plant", dated August /989:
There is inadequate background characterization /01' metals and
radionuclides primarily because there was only one background well
drilled upgradient o/the site to determine what contamination is
being generated on-site versus o/I-site.
There is a poorly defined extent 0/ contamination because 0/ the
few number 0/ test wells (JJ).
rock.ell \ 881ha \N8p8um.ma&

-------
There is inadeqlilte qlillity control o/testing so the daltl may not
be valid.
There/ore, DOE admits that their past studies have been flawed and that a permanent solution
cannot be defined until one completely understands the problem. The RFCC requestS that these
inadeqlUlCies be co,.,.ected as soon as possible so that a /ilUll cleanup soltltion can be implemented.
Re!DOn!e to Comment!
The permanent remedy Cor the 881 HiUside Area is scheduled to begin in 1995. The Phase II
remedial investigation (RI) did not resolve. aU outstanding issues regarding soil and ground
water contamination at the 881 HiUside Area. The deficiencies cited above were largely a
result of unrealistic schedules for the performance of Rls and feasibility studies (FSs), which
was also noted by the Special Assignment Environmental Team. Comprehensive plans for
completing the RI/FS wiU be submitted to EPA in February 1990 in accordance with the draft
Inter-agency Agreement (lAG), The draft lAG schedule calls for the final remedial
investigation /feasibility study to be completed in 1992.
Comment 6
While the IRA proposes to construct a french drain to collect the pollutants which are leaching into
the groundwater, nothing is being proposed to cleanup the contaminated soils. The RFCC is
concerned that the citizens and workers downwind o/the construction o/the drain may be
contaminated by the radioactive dust disturbed on the sur lace 01 the ground. The RFCC wants to
review a Health and Salety Plan which describes how the workers and community will be protected
during construction. The RFCC does not want the cleanup to create additional health risks to the
workers and the community like that which was experienced at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The
RFCC also wantS adequate monitoring to be in place during construction so that environmental
standards are not exceeded:
ResDonse to Comment 6
The nature, magnitude, and extent of contaminated soils is still under investigation; however,
it is recognized that plutonium is above background in surface soils at the 881 Hillside Area.
Surface soils samples have yielded plutonium concentrations no greater than 5 pCi/gm, with
the average level being 1.63 pCi/gm. Higher levels of plutonium are not expected to be
encountered because samples did not show measurable concentrations of plutonium below the
ground surface. Also, elevated levels of uranium have been identified in surface soils in four
small discrete locations « 10 sq. ft. each) with measured levels as high as 3,072 pCi/gm (draft
Environmental Assessment Cor 881 Hillside (High Priority Sites) Interim Remedial Action,
November 30, 1989).

A Rockwell Job SaCety Analysis (JSA) will be prepared be Core construction that will specify
dust control measures to limit dust inhalation exposures. (The JSA is a process developed
from the Rocky Flats Health and Safety policy. The JSA addresses health and safety
protection of outside contractors). These measures include the premoistening of the
excavation area with a sprinkler system for three days prior to start-up, and the continued
moistening of the site throughout the excavation. Ambient air high volume air samplers will
be used to measure radiation and wind velocity. These will be installed before commencement
of construction. Operations will be suspended by requirements in the Occupational Safety
Analysis (OSA) if wind velocity exceeds 15 mph or alpha radiation exceeds 0.03 pCi/m3 as
measured by a high volume sampler located immediately downgradient of the construction
activities. (The OSA addresses health and safety concerns originating from routine site
operations, and is similar to the JSA.) A Health and Safety Plan will also be prepared for
construction activities that will supplement the JSA.
Notwithstanding health and safety controls, an analysis has been made of the potential public
exposure from inhalation of dust contaminated with plutonium and uranium, and the
rockwe1l\881h8\NlPlWD.1DU

-------
committed errective dose equivalent (CEDE) from such intake. Conservatively assuming the
mount of dust resuspended remains less than 10 mglmS (the OSHA regulatory limit on
nuisance dust in the work environment). the wind velocity is 3 m/sec. and exp-osure Occurs at
the closest property boundary. the CEDE calculated for uranium is 5 x 10.6 Rem. and for
plutonium is 8 x 10'" Rem. These totals may be compared to the DOE radiation protection
standard for the public of I x 10.1 Rem per year. As can be seen. the public exposure to
plutonium and uranium is insig~iCicant relative to the DOE radiation protection standard for
the public (Environmental Assessment for 881 Hillside. November 30. 1989).

Even though the health risk from inhalation of plutonium contaminated dust is low at the 881
Hillside, DOE respectS the concerns of the public and intends to investigate several options for
control of plutonium contaminated dust for use at other more contaminated sites. These
options include a vacuum extraction system for removing the uppermost layer of loose soil
before construction commences, addition of cement type additives to bind the surface soils
and minimize the release of plutonium contaminated dust, and a mobile enclosure with a
ventilation/filtering system to remove plutonium dust before it is released to the atmosphere.
At all sites. where plutonium contaminated soils exist, including the 881 Hillside Area.
construction traffic will be carefully routed to further minimize release of any plutonium
contaminated dUSL .

Final/y. the RFCC wants to see a Community Involvement Plan which outlines how the community
will be informed o/the progress o/the cleanup and given assurance that environmental standards
are being 1Mt.
Resconse to Commenr 7
The attachment to this Responsiveness Summary is the Community Relations Work Plan.
Implementation of the Community Relations Plan (CRP) will provide the public with
accurate. timely. and understandable information. and steps the public can take to participate
in decisions regarding cleanup activities at the 881 Hillside Area and the entire Rocky Flats
Plant Site. The community relations program will allow the public the opportunity to learn
about the Site. the Superfund program. and to provide input on technical decisions during the
investigations and studies prior to remediation. The program will also keep the public
continuously informed of on-going cleanup activities. including the interim action :It the 881
Hillside Area. The Work Plan (see Attachment) provides a schedule for the activities and
public involvement that lead to finalizing a Community Relations Plan.

around the wo,ld to calibrGte their instruments. '
Given this fact, how CGn the surface of 881 Hillside where the french drain is proposed. which is
2.9 kms west of the pillee from where the soil stGndard was taken, b( free of sur face plutonium
contaminGtion?
ReSDonse to Comment 8
As stated in response to comment 6, it is recognized that plutonium concentrations in surface
soils at the 881 Hillside Area are above background and appropriate measures will be taken
to minimize any release of plutonium contaminated dust during construction. The Rocky
Flats Plant Annual Environmental Report, a public document which provides a summary of
the environmental monitoring conducted at the Plant, indicates elevated plutonium levels exist
in the surface soils to the east within the Plant boundaries. The data show that the soils may
contain up to 10 -100 times background lcvels of plutonium. However. these levels arc typical
of those observed at the 881 Hillside Area where the exposure due to dust inhalation has been
shown to be minor (see our response to comment 6 for estimated exposures).
Comment 9
Alter an in-depth discussion with Mr. Tom Greengard of the methods used to determine what.
where, and why to drill the monitoring wells that are used to assess the 881 Hillside it seems that
no industry accepted protocol was lollowed. What is the statistical validity 01 the methods used?
II the methods used are invalid and hence a wrong assessment made. was this a cover.up to conceal
more important and dangerous conditions elsewhere?
ReSDonse to Comment 9
It seems there may have been a misunderstanding concerning thc discussion with Mr.
Grecngard. EPA accepted protocols wcre followcd to locate the monitoring wells at the 881
Hillside Area and include interpretation of existing ground water chemistry data. soil gas
mcasurements, geophysics, and most importantly, mapping of disposal sites based on historical
aerial photographs. Statistical methods were not needed to locate monitoring wclls because of
the information gained from use of these methods was more than adequate. There was and
is no cover-up to conceal more dangerous conditions elsewhere.

DOE and its contractors at Rocky Flats have not been very nice neighbors! They have polluted the
groundwat8r and soil at their facility to the extent that reIMdial action is necessary to protect the
public from added health risks. The public desenes to be inforlMd that this is !lfll. a cleanup
operation of hazlUdolU waste: it is only an interim soilltion to keep the contamination at these sites
from spreading.
ResDonseto Comment 10
The proposed action at the 881 Hillside Area is both an initial cleanup of hazardous waste
from past disposal practices and an interim solution to mitigate contamination migration. The
interim action will be consistent with the final remedial action ror the 881 Hillside Area. It
is anticipated this interim action will be a major component of the final remedial action.
Comment N

, The IRA. mentioned that RFP is located in a rural arta where there was no schools. no hospitals.
and no parks within 5 miles of the RFP site. This comment is grossly in error! The facts are that
there exists 20 schools. a hospital called .A.vista. in Louisville. JJ child care centers. and over /4
parks and public open space areas within 5 miles from the boundary of Rocky Flats. The map
shown in figure 2-/ is not an updated map. It also blocks out major development areas east 01
RF P. and Broomlield is omitted completely. It is recommended that a detailed map showing
urrent development. schools. hospital$. parks. etc.. within a 10 mile radius 01 the RFP boundary be
incorporated into this IRA.. The population census in this report uses outdated /980 data. when with
a little elfort current popula.tion ligures cpuld easily be obtained from county and city records.
ResDonse to Comment 11
This section of the IRA has been updated to reflect more current information. The final
interim remedial action plan that reflects these changes is now available for review in the
Rocky Flats Public Reading Room. There was no ,intent to misrepresent land use in the
general vicinity. The oversight was a result of the considerable attention given to the
selection of the appropriate interim action given the chemical conditions at the 881 Hillside
Area.
Comment /2

There is very little mention in this IRA. regarding soil characterization. There is much concern that
this remediation project will disturb soils contaminated with varying levels 01 plutonium and other
radionuclides (see HUD's RF Advisory Notice attached). The resuspension 01 respirable size dust
containing radioactive elementS could have direct health impacts on citizens residing and working
downwind when these particulates are inhaled or ingested. A.s noted in attached chart. there has
been an escalation 01 airborne contamination during past soil excavations at RFP. The excavation
requires 2/00 feet 01 French Drain and 1320 leet of Slurry Walls that are 4-20 leet deep.
Excavation also includes over 2500 leet 01 eflluent piping trenches and the excavation and
encapsulating 86.000 square leet 01 contaminated soil. We are not inlormed 01 the total amount 01
soil (cubic yards) that will be e,xcavated at these sites. Much 01 the proposed remedial area
contains large quantities 01 plutonium contamination, 01 the soil (see attached Krey and Hardy

Resoonse to Comment 12
There appears to be some misunderstanding of activities associated with the proposed interim
remedial action. and activities associated with the other alternatives that were evaluated.
The slurry walls and borrow site south of Woman Creek refer to the second alternative, which
is not the preferred and proposed interim remedial action. ..

DOE very much appreciates your concern for generation of respirable size particulates during
construction that may be contaminated with plutonium. However, in order to allay your
concern, we note that the plutonium contamination is at the surface and therefore the total
volume of material excavated should not matter to the generation of respirable size
particulates.possibly contaminated with plutonium. The french drain and piping are located
such that encountering soils contaminated with organics is unlikely. Chemical testing will be
conducted on these soils prior to excavation to assess whether organic. contaminants or
radionuclides arc present, so that the appropriate health and safety measures, as well as
storage and final disposition of excavated soils can be determined: Our response to comment
6 addresses the potential public exposure to plutonium contaminated dust, and th~ health and
safety measures that will be taken to further minimize these risk. The use of a closcd
cnvironmental chamber cannot be justified at this time; however, it is being carcfully studied
as an option to minimize gcncration of plutonium contaminated dust at more contaminatcd
si tes.
Comment J J
The IRA. needs 10 include a comprehensive sile specific ambient air monitoring plan.
Meteorological data pertinent. to these sites-is needed to determine direction and distance. etc.. that
Ihis respirable dust might travel. A.ccording to a 1987 Meteorological Tracer Study published in
September 1988 by Rockwell. the distribution 0/ emission plumes can be dynamic. The report
mentions that during Ihe 12 day study. tracer elements traveled west to the Continental Divide and
as far east as 45 miles from the release site located near the 90J Pad. It was interesting to nOle
that during the tests. the plume was in contact with the ground. Sector -2 which is southeast o/the
RFP. according to the Colorado Department 0/ Health. continually reportS the highest levels lor
plutonium in soils (see CDH map and chart attached).
Resoonse to Commcnt 13
You are quite correct that meteorological data is necessary for these sites in order to design
and implement a sound air monitoring program. DOE fully intends to conduct a
comprehensive air monitoring program as part of the health and safety monitoring during
construction. All pertinent meteorological data will be incorporated into thc plan for this air

p-CSDonse to Comment 15
An extensive air monitoring network known as the Radioactive Ambient Air Monitoring
Program (RAAMP) is maintained at the Plant in order to monitor particulate emissions from
Plant facilities and soils. The RAAMP has found ambient air samples for plutonium to be
well within the DOE guidelines of 20.0 x 10-15 ~Ci/ml established for the protection of human
health. Americium and uranium are not presently measured because air emissions are
expected to be less, and their maximum allowable concentration in air in an unrestricted area
is 10 and 100 times greater than plutonium, respectively (Standards for Protection Against
Radiation, 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2).
To further assess emissions of radionuclides and other toxic compounds from the facility,
DOE has agreed to improve air quality monitoring at the Rocky Flats Plant (Agreement in
Principle with CDH). Air quality monitoring provisions of this Agreement include:

- The DOE will submit a comprehensive air emissions inventory for CDH review.
- The DOE will provide a comprehensive materials balance of VQCs for CDH review.

- The DOE will identify all toxic and radioactive emissions coming from the facility
(stacks, vents, ponds, e.tc.) and will support CDH in the use of an accepted emissions
model to predict any areas of off-site impact.
- DOE will conduct promptly the stack testing necessary to verify the amount and type
of emissions. .
- The DOE will install continuous emission monitors in all appropriate sources to
ensure continuous compliance with air pollution requirements.

- CDH will prepare a comprehensive review, in cooperation with EPA and local
governments, of the air monitoring system and will implement needed improvements
to the air quality monitoring network.

The interim action addresses shadow (alluvial) ground water contamination. Therefore
possible bedrock ground water contamination will not influence the interim action. Future
investigations at both the 881 Hillside Area and 903 Pad, Mound; and East Trenches Areas
will characterize the nature and extent oC bedrock ground-water contamination. If
contaminated bedrock ground water in wells 12-87, 11-78, and 14-87 is deiermined to arise

with the State of Colorado hazardous waste regulations. Ground water flow in surficial
materials is to the south/southeast at the 881 Hillside Area. The proposed french drain has

There is some question whether 881 Hi//side should have been chosen for the initial remedial action.
Perhaps it is the area of greatest immediate concern. but it does appear that the danger from 881
Hi//side is principa//y from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) whereas the public's greatest
concern is with radionuclides. But the public should be aware the VOCs are also toxic and can
cause problems such as attributed to Martin Marietta. The cost of implementing this interim
remedial action wi// be about $4.6 mi//ion. It wi// affect the removal of about 80 Ib VOCs. 5 lb

ResDonse to Comment 32
The 881 Hillside Area was chosen for initial investigation and cleanup because of the high
concentr:ltions of organic contaminants in the ground water, many of which are carcinogenic,
Jnd the proximity of the contamination to a major drainage that leads to Standley Lake. DOE
is Jware that the public's general perception is that highly radioactive contaminated sites and

:He present in appreciable amounts. Selenium is of greatest concern, although manganese and
to a lesser extent nickel are also of concern. Uranium is the onJy radionuclide of concern at
the 881 Hillside Area ground water. Depleted uranium which is used at Rocky Flats has a
U234/U238 activity ratio less than one whereas narural uranium has a ratio greater than one.
The activity ratio for uranium in ground water at the 881 Hillside Area is always greater than
I which suggest the uranium is natural; however, the concentrations are observed to be over
10 times background in some locations. Cesium 137 and strontium 89, 90 are radionuclides
present in the environment due to fallout. There is insufficient data to determine if these
radionuclides are above background in ground water at the 881 Hillside Area. The Phase III
RI and background hydrogeochemical characterization will allow determination of whether
these radionuclides are contaminants of the ground water. However, we note that an
Independent Criticality Safety Assessment Team concluded in a report released in 1989, that
there has not been a criticality at the Rocky Flats Plant. Their conclusion was based on
review of radioactive cesium and strontium in soil and water, records of past operations,
criticality procedural infractions, plant renovations, fires and radioactive exposures.

We understand your confusion on this subject. The background value for tritium is simply the
Minimum Detectable Activity for the analytical method, i.e., background concentrations of
tritium are less than what can be measured. However, we do Dote that tritium is a naturally
occurring isotope of hydrogen present in water and in the atmosphere. The gross beta value
does not include tritium, i.e., tritium is associated with the water which is driven off prior to
the analysis for gross beta.

Beryllium is extremely poisonous. In Table 3-22 why not set ARAR-O.005? In air maximum

for either cad mium or selenium?
ReSDonse to Comment 50

The maximum allowable concentration for beryllium in air is 200 times lower than for
cadmium and selenium because of the relatively more sever.e effects beryllium has on lung

Comment 55
Selenium has an ARAR of 0.01 mgll but its concentration is 3.2 mgll in the water stream that
must be treated (320 times as much). Similarly total dissolved solids are 2374 mglt but the ARAR
is 400 mgll . less than 20% of the amount to be treated. If only half the water flow is treated for
each of the aforementioned constituents how can the required concentrations be allained?
ResDonse to Comment 55
.
The expected influent concentration of total dissolved solids is 718 mg/l. not 2374 mg/l which
is the maximum observed total dissolved solids concentration in the ground water. The
influent concentration is significantly less than the maximum because the influent represents
a blend of low total dissolved solids ground water from the footing drain with collected
ground water from the french drain. Because both the activated alumina and two stage
demineralizer remove selenium but the activated alumina does not remove total dissolved
solids, it is only necessary to treat approximately half the flow with the two stage
demineralizer to achieve the ARAR for total dissolved solids.
Comment 56
The treatment system is designed to treat 30 gpm for 8 hours per day. 30 gpm x 60 minlhr x 8

gailons per year that will drain are 300 feet x 2100 feet x 14/ 12 feet x 7.5 galslcu ft - 5.500.000
gais/ year. The capacity of the system is aimost exactly equal to the water draining from the area
300 feet above the retaining wail. I f a greater area must be drained or if the wail must be

R~sDonse to Comment 56

Your calculation of the expected flow at the french drain is a good theoretical method.
However, you should note that of the 14- of precipitation falling on the 881 Hillside Area,
much of this will runoff or be evaporated. Nevertheless, if additional capacity is required,
it will be necessary to operate the system beyond 8 hours per day. The actual capacity of the
system is 2 to 3 times what is estimated to be required.

which was rarely present in the soils at the 881 Hillside Area. Bis(2-ethyl hexyl)phthalate is
a common plasticizer that is likely to be found wherever plastics have been used. We believe,
although we have not proven this hypothesis, that bis(2-ethyl hexyl)phthalate is present in the
soil samples because of handling the samples with plastic gloves. We have no reason to
believe, based on historical information, that HEPA filters were disposed at the 881 Hillside

I have three main comments and first is on your inaccurate measuring of distances from Rocky
Flats to the neighboring communities. In the first place. on page 2-5. you're talking about surround
land use and you state that the nearest educational facility is the Sierra Elementary School. which
is six miles southeast of Rocky Flats Plant. If you look at the map. Sierra School is the red dot
way over here. That is not the nearest school. Sierra was built about 18 years ago. However. nine
years ago Will Elementary was built. which is about four miles. three and a half miles from the
boundary of Rocky Flats. Standley Lake High School is closer. Lucas Elementary was just built.
Moore Junior High was built in 1980 and is also closer to Rocky Flats.
.
I also feel that you should not measure from the center of the Rocky Flats Plant any more than you
would measure from the center of a beehive that is a half-mile by a half-mile. and then say the only
danger is coming from the very center of the beehive. You need to. I think. measure from the Rockv
Flats boundary when you're stating what is close. We live way closer than any of your maps sho~.
On that same page. page 2-5. you talk about some of the plants that are near Rocky Flats and you
have omitted floral products. which has had two fires and produced a lot of problems. also. Then
your bottom paragraph is ridiculous in my estimation. You're talking about agricultural statistics
in J976. Why would we care how many pigs and so on there were in the J976 area? You could get
updated information.
You also have a map. which is Figure 2-3. but not a page number. and it's talking about land use in
the vicinity of Rocky Flats Plant. It was taken after a Rockwell International map done in J 986.
Who knows what they lOok their map from. maybe something done prior to then. It is absolutely
inaccurate on where there's industry. where there are housing area. and it should be updated.
How can we have faith in your credibility when you can't even put the background information

ReSDonse [0 Comment 65
We do not understand your reference to reaching storage capacity in the springtime but
believe you may be confusing this with other Rocky Flats Plant waste storage issues not
connected with this action. The design of the 1M/IRA calls for two effluent tanks each with
one week of storage capacity. Furthermore, the capacity of the treatment system is 2 -3 times
the expected influent flow. In consideration of this treatment and storage capacity, we feel
it is reasonable that any operational difficulties encountered with the treatment plant can be
corrected in suffident time such that discharge of contaminated water is avoided. In
addition, a carbon "polishing" system may be installed if there are any operational difficulties
with the UV /Peroxide system. Ground water will not be collected from the french drain and
Building 881 footing drain until after startup testing operations are performed and the
treatment system is shown to be operating according to specification. In the meantime, we
note that organic contaminants are migrating very slowly in the ground water, and the footing
drain discharge may contain very low concentrations of organics (recent results show PCE at
only 8 ppb). Organic contaminants have never been detected in Pond C-2 where the footing
drain discharge ultimately flows. Furthermore, Pond C-l is monitored before discharge to
assure the water quality is acceptable as dictated by the plants NPDES permit. In light of
this, you should not be concerned about contamination being released off the Rooky Flats
Plan t property before the interim action construction is completed.

Leaving that stull there is nothing but a 'time bomb and it's going to get us. Any allempt to do
something is beller than silling on our hands. However. alter going to the hazardous waste seminar
Monday and Tuesday, the manulacturer 01 this ozone peroxide cleanup says they're having a lot
01 problems it won't touch. carbon tetrachloride. and it won't touch some 01 the unsaturated
chlorides. It works extremely well on trichloroethylene and the some chlorinated solvents. but at
least it's an allempt. At least it's something that's going to remove the great majority 01 the
contaminants as I see Irom the list. Just realize it will not work on carbon tet at all. and probably
will not work on the tetrachloroethylene. so you're probably going to have to do some air-stripping
or carbon liltration. something along that line as an alter-through. In other words. you don't want
to saturate your carbon lilters. so you basically will need an in-series type thing.
.
.
R~soons~ to Comm~nt 69
The UV /Peroxide equipment specification calls for the reduction of the expected i'nfluent
concentrations of both carbon tetrachloride and tetrachloroethylene to achieve the effluent
standards. i.e., the vendor of the equipment must guarantee the equipment will meet these
performance criteria. Furthermore, one vendor, Peroxidation Systems, notes that there is a
substantial body of' evidence that indicates saturated compounds can be treated with the
UV /peroxidation process. The evidence indicates that longer residence times are required to
treat saturated organics relative to unsaturated organics. Data presented in 1987 (Hager,
Loven, and Giggy, Chemic3l O~idation Destruction of Or~anic Contaminants in Groundwater.
HMCRI National Conference and Exhibition, November, 1987), indicates that 1.200 mg/l of
carbon tetrachloride was reduced to 0.3 mg/l with a reaction time of 30 minutes. The Hager
paper also noted that 705 ~g/l of tetrachloroethylene was reduced to non-detectable limits in
just 2.5 minutes. The longer residence time required for treating saturated compounds
translates into higher operating costs but no reduction in protection of human health and
safety.

Indeed the influent would be diluted by recycling the effluent through the treatment system.
However. it is impossible for this effluent to dilute the influent to meet ARARs without
further treatment. Nevertheless, your comment is well taken. In order to minimize any
operational difficulties, a carbon "polishing" system may be installed downstream of the ion
e~change system. This redundancy would further facilitate smooth operation of the facility.

"Let's don'l do anything. We'll just leave il there." My complaint is. we've PUI it Ihere. II's Ihere
in concentrated form. Let's get rid of it. You guys are worrying about slirring up a lilile dusi.
What do you think wind storms do? What do you think-where does the rainwater go? It washes off
the property. You guys are probably more contaminated by what the wind blows up. whal the
rainwater washes off than these guys will ever stir up. Hopefully they will reduce il. you know, PUI
up--hopefully, you'll take this one guy's comments. maybe put a dome over it. a simple. cheap dome.
You'll water. it down. do everything possible to reduce it. but you know and I know as an
environmental chemist. these guys are more at risk from what the environment is throwing out to
them than you guys will stir up in the cleanup.
We've got to start trying to remove something. If you leave ilthere. it's a time bomb and it will get
you. So my comment is. first. I appreciate that we're going to try something. work it out. realizing
it is an experiment. but hopefully intelligence allows some thought to go into it. You work at it. you
improve it. but at least do something.
Again. send away for the information and let's try and work together. I want to protect my life
and my environment. and the way to do it is to help people solve the problem and understand it.
50 send away for the literature and go from there. Remember, the ozone thing doesn't work on the
arbon let, and that's il. Thank you very much.

Mr. Reynolds
Comment 72
My concern is--one is resuspension and on-site and o//-site Hill 881. as well as some of the areas
that I've been told about that have a fairly high radioactivity just east a/Indiana. Is there any
particular reason why we couldn't be using some 0/ the adhesive sprayed currently in some of the
core sample sites or some of the core sites to keep the resuspension down in this area. which is only
about. whale a mile and a half. two miles from a major high school that was just fairly recently
built and a very large populalion in thaI area. Is there any particular reason why we couldn'l be
putting something down to keep thaI down? I understand that they're taking measures to. I've been
told. plow under as well as re-vegetate. bUI some 0/ this adhesive material that I've read about thaI
they've been spraying in these areas /01' the core sampling have been used. and why not use it there?

Resoonse to Comment 72

The plowing and revegetating activities refer to the soil remediation being conducted ju~t east
of Indiana Street. We appreciate your concern, however, that project is not part of this
interim action and is therefore outside the scope of the plan and this response to comments.
With regard to the 881 Hillside Area, please see our response to comment 6.

WRITTEN COMMENTS:
Annette Barnard, Manager of Water Quality. City of Thornton
Comment 74
The City 01 Thornton would like to thank the Colorado Department 01 Health and the Department
01 Energy (DOE) lor the opportunity to submit comments on the Proposed Interim
. Measures/Interim Remedial Action Plan and Decision D.ocument lor the 881 Hillside Area. The
City believes that the option selected by Rockwell Intenumonal. the UY / peroxide and ion exchange
treatment system. is the appropriate solution because it accomplishes complete destruction 01 the
contaminantS without lormation 01 additional hazardous wastes or other byproducts. In addition.
we leel that the French Drain collection system is an excellent choice lor collection 01 the
groundwater.
.
R~SDonse to Comment 74
We appreciate your support.
Comment 75
The French Drain should be extended on the east end to include coverage 01 Solid Waste
Management Unil (SWMU) 119.2 which was used lor barrel Slorage.
, ReSDonse [0 Comment 75
As discussed on page 6-1. second paragraph, if the bedrock lithology verification program
ndicates the presence of saturated colluvial material downgradient of SWMU 119.2, the
french drain will be extended to collect ground water in this area.
Comment 76
A detailed operating procedure should be developed to establish an appropriate water quality
monitoring system and to define treatment criteria and standards.
ReSDonse to Comment 76
Treatment criteria and standards are defined in the plan. An Operation and Maintenance
manual will be prepared for the facility which will outline the monitoring requirements. This
manual will be available for public review before the treatment system is operational.
Comment ;'7
In the interest of public relalions and public safety a .Hudy should be funded to determine an
appropriate collection system to take Pond C-2 waler and runofl from the sile to prevent
contamination of the drinking water supply for the Cities of Thornton. Northglenn and Westminster.
ResDonse to Comment 77

DOE is investigating alternatives to discharge of Plant runoff via Pond C-2 to the Woman
Creek drainage. However, we would like to point out that all discharges from Pond C-2 will
e monitored in accordance with the Plant's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
ermit. Water that does not meet the surface water standards for Woman Creek will not be
discharged. Please see our response to comment 1.

WRITTEN COMMENTS:
Environmental Protection Agency
('omment 79
Section 2.1.6.2. In light of the data validation study performed by Argonne National Laboratory.
conservative analyses of the soils data must be summarized for inclusion within this report.
SpecificaJiy. until further field work is conducted at the 881 Hillside to verify or refute the
presence of both volatile and semi-volatile constituents. the previous soils evaluation must be
presented. More than 3 of the 23 boreholes were contaminated and the soils were contaminated
with more than PCE. TCE and 1.1.1-TCA.
R~sDonse to Comment 79
..
The text will be revised in the final plan to simply summarize the data and discuss it's
limitations. References to risk will be deleted.
Comment 80
Section 2.1.6.3. It should be stated that ~ 'il1ilii. sampling of the ponds within Woman Creek
indicate that there are no VOCs present.
R~SDonse to Comment 80
This addition will be made in the final plan.
~omment 81
Section 3.2. The schedule presented must reflect the extension of the public comment period. The
procurement dates for the fan Exchange System seem to be in error.
ResDonse to Comment 81
This is a typographical error that will be corrected in the final plan. Also, the extension of
the public comment period, and the response to public comments and finalization of the plan
will be reflected in the new schedule. This will alter the overall schedule for construction and
startup of the 1M/IRA. The revised schedule is provided in Section 3 of the final plan.
Comment 82
Section 3.3. The chemical specific ARAR for gross beta is 4 mrem/ yr (a National Interim Primary
Drinking Water Regulation) or 50 pCi/1 (a SDWA MCL). whichever is more stringent.
ResDonse to Comment 82
Actually, 50 pCi/1 is simply a criterion above which it is necessary to analyze specific man-
made beta emitting isotopes to assess if the 4 mrem/yr standard is exceeded. The change will
be made in the final plan.
r;omment 83

oection 3.3.1. The Chemical Specific ARAR for antimony is exceeded. It appears that the
Chemical Specific ARAR for nitrate is exceeded. The RCRA Subpart F standard for 1.2
Dichloroethane is 5 ppb. This is a final MCL.
rock.ell \ 881118 \ r88peum.m&a

-------
ResDonse to Comment 83

Antimony and nitrate do exceed ARAR. These were typographical errors that will be
corrected in the final plan. As noted in Table 3-2.1, 5 ppb is the RCRA Subpart F, CDH
ground water, CDH surface wat~r. and MCL standard.
Comment 84
Section 4.3. Table 4-1 presents the basis for design of the 88J Hillside treatment technology as
based on a flow weighted average of the footing drain and alluvial groundwater collected by the
french drain. Is the source well included in the design basis for the treatment technology?
ResDonse to Comment 84
The source well has not been included because it would represent double accounting of
contamination. Well 9-74 and 43-87 are included in the computation of the expected ground
water chemistry of alluvial ground Water collected by the french drain. Also, the source well
will be pumped and the discharge treated prior to the french drain being placed into service.
By the time the french drain is in service, it is expected that the source well will have lower
contaminant concentrations and produce a low steady flow (estimated below 1 gpm). This
should not significantly affect the influent chemical characteristics, at least relative to the
compu ted infl uen t characteristics.
Commem 85
Section 4.5.1.1. Figure 4-9 shows the 6- perforated pipe placed above the drain s.,ump. The top of
(he sump shall be located approximately two feet below the imerface of the 10:2. cmls hydraulic
conductivity bedrock and bedrock or alluvial soils having greater than 10:!i cmlsec hydraulic
conductivity. The perforated pipe should be placed so that liquid cannot accumulate above the level
of the lined sump. i.e. the top of the oipe should be placed below the top of the sump.
ReSDonse to Comment 85
We agree, and the changes will be made in the final plan.

ResDonse to Comment 36
This is a typographical error resulting from the original draft plan referring to the 1M/IRA

Section 6.0. As the soil boring program is scheduled for mid-October through mid-January. the
driest time of the year. placement and frequem monitoring of permanent piezometers downgradiem
of SWMU 119.2 is recommended to evaluate the saturated or unsaturated conditions downgradient
of the site.
rock..ll \ 881118 \rwpeWD.maa

-------
Resoonse to Comment 87

I'he schedule for the soil boring program has been moved back for technical and
administrative reasons. It will now be conducted in the late winter/early spring.
Comment 88
It should be noted that the /5 feet into bedrock calculation for interception of dipping sandstones
is dependent on the relative elevation of the top of bedrock. If the adjacent western borehole
bedrock elevation is lower than the elevation of bedrock in the borehole being drilled. /5 foot
penetration into bedrock may not intercept a dipping sandstone identified in the adjacent borehole.
.
Resoonse to Comment 88
Given the 15 foot depth was estimated based on a dip of 7°, and the current estimate of dip
is 1 ° to 2°, intercepting potentially subcropping sandstones with a penetration depth of 15 feet
is almost certain regardless of differences in the top of bedrock elevations.
Comment 89
It might be prudent to maintain and archive the bedrock cores for potential future submittal for
laboratory permeability testing. This contingency could be used if the in-situ permeability testing
proposed does not generate acceptable information.
~esoonse to Comment 89
'[he suggestion is a good one and will be considered.

REMAINING CONCERNS
All issues pertaining to the proposed interim action have been resolved by this
Responsivepess Summary or the final interim action plan.
The only issue that remains
unresolved is the mixed public opinion regarding routing Woman Creek flow around Standley
Lake. The issue, however, is not pertinent to the 881 Hillside Area interim action.

puatlc meetings. fac&-to-face InteMews, Informat group meetings and
woritshops. Groups to be targeted for InteMews are dlKUssed In
S8dton 6. Based on existing hlstorlca' Informadon, lnitfaj concerns to
be .~lor8d., but not IImjted to, are: rul or perceived heatttl threats
from the production at the Plant; environmental concerns; Iwets of
pubUc technical knowledge; economic Issues such as propeny values,
Income tax bases and revenues; and the credJbtBty of involved
govemment agencies.
