3.1 Definitions
3.1.1 Pumpable Accumulation Point – An area where storm water gathers resulting in above ground puddles or ponds greater than 6 inches in depth or capable of being removed by standard pumping equipment.
3.1.2 Non-pumpable Accumulation Point – An area where storm water gathers
resulting in above ground puddles or ponds less than 6 inches in depth not capable of being removed by standard pumping equipment.
3.1.3 Temporary Transfer Pump – A pump used to move accumulated water to a temporary storage tank or mobile tank mounted equipment. All
piping/tubing used to transfer contact storm water shall remain on
approved embankment liner or shall be free of leaks and located over containment at connection points.
3.1.4 Temporary Storage Tank – A portable tank (Frac tank, Baker Tank, or similar tank) placed over cell liner and isolated from the cell liner with
soil, sand, clay or other acceptable fill material. Ponded water may be
pumped into a temporary storage tank using a temporary transfer pump and pumped out using a mobile water tank.
3.1.5 Anticipated Accumulation Point – An area where stormwater typically accumulates during storm events. These areas include but are not limited
to the following: bermed areas near temporary cover, low spots, or areas
identified during previous storm events.

Non-Proprietary Page 4 of 10
3.1.6 Restricted Area - The area within the controlled area that requires control of access and occupancy for purposes of protection against radiation and
other hazardous materials.
3.1.7 DOE Vitro Ditch Line – The area bordering EnergySolutions Restricted, Contaminated Area property and the Department of Energy’s VITRO Disposal Embankment identified by a dirt berm and 6’ fence. The ditch line is used to prevent stormwater from flowing into the VITRO area from
EnergySolutions property. In most cases, the ditch line is between a small
soil berm and a facility haul road.
Note: The small soil berm along the DOE Ditch Line is not a site run-on or run-off berm and is not subject to the
design and maintenance requirements applicable to run-on and run-off berms.
3.2 Responsibilities
3.2.1 Manager, Waste Disposal Operations has overall responsibility for
ensuring this procedure is performed in accordance with requirements.
3.2.2 Lead, Disposal Cell or designee is responsible for ensuring this procedure is followed when storm water accumulation occurs.
3.2.3 The BAT Inspector is responsible for conducting a daily compliance
inspection of the site in accordance with GWQDP. Stormwater
accumulation shall be documented on the LLRW/11e.(2) Facility Daily Inspection Form (reference 2.3).
3.2.4 Water Management Facility Operators are responsible for removing stormwater by using temporary transfer pumps with temporary storage
tanks, mobile collection tanks, or a combination of both; and for tracking
storm water collection efforts on CL-LD-PR-704-F1 (Stormwater Accumulation Collection Form), attachment 5.1.
3.3 Precautions and Limitations
3.3.1 A three-point contact shall be maintained while climbing on equipment.
3.3.2 Operators and Inspectors may be working in extreme weather conditions;
Personnel shall dress appropriately.

4 REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE
4.1 Compliance
4.1.1 All personnel performing management of stormwater shall be trained to this procedure.
4.1.2 Water Management Personnel shall ensure temporary transfer pumps,
temporary storage tanks, and other water management equipment are not
operated directly on the surface of finished clay liner or on the surface of temporary cover within an approved embankment. Prior to operating equipment within an approved embankment, a minimum one foot of waste or other fill material shall be placed over the debris free zone.
4.1.3 Up to a maximum of three (3) temporary storage tanks may be used at any
one cell to assist in managing stormwater.
4.1.4 Stormwater collection shall be performed in accordance with priorities established in condition 1.E.7.c of GWQDP and in accordance with section 4.21, Stormwater Management of GWQDP Appendix J: BAT
Performance Monitoring Plan.
Note: Non-pumpable accumulations of stormwater are not required to be managed.
4.1.5 Collected stormwater may be discharged at any approved evaporation
pond or for engineering and dust control within the Class A West
Embankment.
4.1.6 The DOE Vitro Ditch Line, upon inspection, should be free of debris, excess soil, and sediment build-up to allow for adequate containment of stormwater.
4.2 Procedure
4.2.1 On a daily basis (whenever the LLRW/11e.(2) Facility Daily Inspection is performed) the BAT inspector shall inspect the site in accordance with GWQDP requirements. Upon discovery of Stormwater Accumulation, the BAT Inspector (or designee) shall perform the following steps:
4.2.1.1 Notify the Lead, Disposal Cell and note the time of
discovery on the LLRW/11e.(2) Facility Daily Inspection Form (reference 2.3).
