Contract Opportunity Title:
Environmental Permitting and Other Services
for HBPP Demolition
Estimated Contract Value (Range):
TBD
Work Location:
Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Eureka CA
Deadline:
January 4, 2010 (2:00 p.m. Pacific)
Contract Opportunity Description:
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Humboldt Bay Power Plant (HBPP) in Eureka, California consists of two fossil fuel
steam generating units (Units 1 and 2) and a retired nuclear-fueled steam generating plant
(Unit 3) which are schedule to be removed when the new natural gas power plant (HBGS)
is commercial operational in the fall of 2010. The three units share a common cooling
water intake structure and each unit discharges its cooling water into the discharge canal.
There also exists two large storage tanks used for storage of heavy fuel oil, mobile
emergency power plants other structures to be removed as well.
Historical operations at the plant have resulted in chemical and radiological contamination.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has current jurisdiction over radiological and
mixed waste impacts and waste disposal. Department of Toxic Substances Control
(DTSC), under a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement, is the lead state agency for investigation
and remedial activities.
Asbestos and hazardous material removal within the units will begin after shutdown of
Units 1 and 2, and will take approximately twelve months to complete followed by
demolition and disposal activities. All structures will be removed to grade level and the site
prepared for unit 3 access and lay-down.
Final environmental remediation and site restoration activities will begin after the
completion of unit 3 dismantling activities in the fall of 2014. However, various
investigation-related tasks will be required prior to obtaining an approved Remedial Action
Plan from DTSC. Also, some interim soil removal measures will be conducted prior to
development of the Remedial Action Plan due to incidental soils that are generated during
demolition activities.
