The Mixed Waste Management Facility monthly report, October 1994

During October, significant progress was made on both the management and technical activities of the Project. These activities were accomplished within the scope and effort described in the MWMF FY95 Plan (currently in draft within the Project), which reflects the reduced DOE FY95 funding guidance received September 29, 1994. DOE/OAK approved Revision 1 of the MWMF Baseline (reflecting KD-1 guidance), thus providing a basis for Revision 2 (reflecting DWTF/MWW integration). Considerable management and senior-engineering resources were directed toward addressing the issues that are summarized below. The proposed technical scope and schedule for the FY95 Plan was largely completed during October, along with consistent (but less detailed) tasks and estimates for the remainder of the project; this latter information will also be used as a basis for the Rebaseline. However, the FY95 Plan cannot be finalized until mid-November when LLNL tax rates will be established. MWMF project personnel completed most of the input and draft documentation required by the LLNL permitting group to prepare the modified RD&D permit application that reflects the DWTF/MWMF integration. The PSAR continued through the LLNL approval chain. Revisions to the EA began to reflect the DWTF/MWMF integration. Two significant reviews of the project were addressed: the DOE Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the Options Analysis Team (OAT). Draft documents were prepared and discussed with DOE/OAK and HQ to provide for a coordinated response
