Approved for Public Release; Further Dissemination Unlimited
• Purpose of the NDA Armoring Project:
• Reduce future erosion risk if NDA Cap’s design basis is exceeded with the resulting potential overtopping and erosion of the NDA north slope.
• Design Basis:
• The design flood was chosen based on precipitation from 1/2 Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) per NRC recommendation, in accordance with NUREG-1623, Design of Erosion Protection for Long-Term Stabilization, Section 2.2.
• Design Review: Multi-agency design review (DOE, NRC, NYSERDA, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, NYSDEC)
• Installation: June 3, 2019 – September 20, 2019
• Inspections: Annually and after rain events exceeding 1” over 24 hours

NDA Armoring Project Summary & Conclusion
• Installation from June 3, 2019 – September 20, 2019
• 18,000 cubic feet of soil excavated with 90% reused within the project boundary with the remainder disposed of, or waiting disposal offsite
• 35,000 cubic feet of new backfill placed
• 13,000 square feet of ACB placed (each block in the matt weighing 100 lbs.)
• 7,000 hours of work without an injury
• Conclusion: If the NDA’s north slope berm were to ever overtop, the now armored north side slope of the NDA would not be prone to erosion.
