DECOMMISSIONING FACILITIES Sample Clauses

DECOMMISSIONING FACILITIES. A. Facility is defined for this Section only as a single project that includes any building(s) and functional systems, such as, but not limited to, equipment, process systems and associated piping. A facility is usually associated with a unique process or operation at a given location. Decommissioning is the first post-operational stage for the facility, when the residual hazards are eliminated permanently, or reduced to a safe condition. B. The DOE is the lead agency for purposes of preparation, review, and finalization of documentation for decommissioning activities on facilities in Appendix K (see 40 CFR 300.400c)). Guided by interagency policies (e.g., EPA and DOE, May 22, 1995, “Policy on Decommissioning Department of Energy Facilities Under CERCLA”) and consistent with relevant DOE orders and guidance, DOE shall coordinate all decommissioning activities with EPA and SCDHEC. C. Prior to and during decommissioning, facilities will be evaluated to determine if there has been a release or there is a substantial threat of release of hazardous substances to the environment. The facilities planned for or undergoing decommissioning will be identified in Appendix K.1 (D&D Facilities to be Decommissioned). Facilities on Appendix K.1 will be eligible to be moved to Appendix K.2 (D&D Facilities (or Remnants) that Require No Further Evaluation or No Response Action) or Appendix C.4 (D&D Facilities (or Remnants) that May Warrant Response Action) based on the facility evaluation/decommissioning model selection process agreed to by the three Parties. Facilities that the three Parties agree require no further evaluation or no response action of the D&D Facility or Remnant will be listed on Appendix K.2 (D&D Facilities (or Remnants) that Require No Further Evaluation or No Response Action). Facilities that the three Parties agree may warrant a response action at the D&D Facility or Remnant will be listed on Appendix C.4 (D&D Facilities (or Remnants)) that May Warrant Response Action). If the EPA or SCDHEC determine that further response action may be necessary for a facility (or facility remnant), then DOE agrees, subject to the dispute resolution procedures in Section XXVII (Resolution of Disputes), to amend Appendix C.4 (D&D Facilities (or Remnants) that May Warrant Response Action) to this Agreement to include such facilities (or facility remnants) and to conduct, as warranted, additional work at such facilities (or facility remnants) under the terms of this Agreem...
