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

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The FTF is a 22-acre site, located at the Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina. The FTF consists of 22 underground radioactive waste storage tanks and supporting ancillary structures. Two of those waste tanks, Tanks 17 and 20 were cleaned and operationally closed in 1997, prior to enactment of NDAA Section 3116. Accordingly, Tanks 17 and 20 are not within the scope of this FTF Section 3116 Basis Document. The major FTF ancillary structures are two evaporator systems, transfer lines, six diversion boxes, one catch tank, a concentrate transfer system, three pump pits, three pump tanks and eight valve boxes. There are three waste tank types in FTF with operating capacities ranging from 750,000 gallons (Type I tanks) to 1,300,000 gallons (Type III/IIIA and Type IV tanks). The waste tanks have varying degrees of secondary containment and in-tank structural features such as cooling coils and columns. All FTF waste tanks are constructed of carbon steel. The FTF was constructed to receive waste generated by various SRS production, processing and laboratory facilities.

DOE has initiated waste removal and cleaning of tanks and ancillary structures in the FTF using a process that includes removing bulk waste from tanks and ancillary structures and then deploying tested technologies to removing the majority of the remaining waste. After completing cleaning operations, a small amount of residual radioactive waste will remain in the tanks, ancillary equipment and piping. DOE plans to stabilize the residuals in the tanks and certain ancillary structures with grout. Tank waste storage and removal operations in the FTF are governed by a South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) industrial wastewater operating permit. Removal of tanks from service and stabilization of the FTF waste tanks and ancillary structures will be carried out pursuant to a State-approved closure plan, the Industrial Wastewater General Closure Plan for F-Area Waste Tank Systems (GCP). Specific Closure Modules for each tank or ancillary structure or groupings of tanks and ancillary structures have been developed and submitted to SCDHEC for approval. SCDHEC approved the specific and final closure configuration documentation and after grouting, the tank/system will be removed from the State’s industrial wastewater permit. This FTF Section 3116 Basis Document applies to stabilized residuals in the waste tanks and ancillary structures, the waste tanks, and the ancillary structures in the FTF at the time of closure.

Dated: Issued in Washington, DC, on March 29, 2012. Mark Gilbertson, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Site Restoration.
