Streamlined Approach for Environmental Restoration (SAFER) Plan for Corrective Action Unit 578: Miscellaneous Inactive Sites Nevada National Security Site, Nevada, (Rev. 0)

This Streamlined Approach for Environmental Restoration (SAFER) Plan addresses the actions needed to achieve closure for Corrective Action Unit (CAU) 578, Miscellaneous Inactive Sites, identified in the Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order (FFACO). CAU 578 comprises the following 11 corrective action sites (CASs) located in Areas 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, and 23 of the Nevada National Security Site: • 02-26-01, Lead (Concrete Box w/Lining) • 02-26-07, Gun Turret w/Lead in Barrel • 03-16-01, U-3auS Disposal Site • 04-26-02, Lead on Instrument Bunker • 06-99-07, Sump • 07-99-01, Miscellaneous Debris • 12-02-11, UST-P-2 • 12-06-01, Muckpile • 12-06-04, Muckpile • 23-12-01, Boiler (2) • 23-99-04, Salvage Yard This plan provides the methodology for field activities needed to gather the necessary information for closing each CAS. There is sufficient information and process knowledge from historical documentation and investigations of similar sites regarding the expected nature and extent of potential contaminants to recommend closure of CAU 578 using the SAFER process. Additional information will be obtained by conducting a field investigation before selecting the appropriate corrective action for each CAS. The results of the field investigation will support a defensible recommendation that no further corrective action is necessary. This will be presented in a closure report that will be prepared and submitted to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) for review and approval.
