Integration of Regulatory Requirements for the Creation of a Remediation Tool at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant

Woodworth, Ashley

Abstract Details

2014, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Environmental Engineering.
The main objective of this project was to create a tool that incorporates regulatory requirements from RCRA, a custom agreement modeled after CERCLA, and CERCLA into one cohesive plan that would serve as a model for DOE site remediation projects subject to meeting the complex requirements of these multiple regulations. The remediation of at and below grade structures and soils at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) served as a case study to demonstrate the specifics of the process and act as a template for other projects. The history of the PORTS site and regulatory documentation (also called “remediation drivers”) are discussed. The project resulted in creation of an Integrated Remedial Design Plan (IRDP) with crosswalk tools to view how a single submittal of an IRDP complies with regulations and requirements. It is anticipated that products of this project will at minimum be used as a blueprint for below grade remediation of each remediation area of the PORTS site for the next 10-20 years. It is also possible that other sites with RCRA/CERCLA integration issues will employ the developed model
