The Ames Blue Max sealing system has become the long-term coating of choice to drastically reduce storm water in leakage to below grade areas of the L-Area and C-Area reactor buildings, as well as Receiving Basin for Offsite Fuels.  There are currently multiple work orders for BlueMax application in these facilities, so this environmental evaluation checklist is intended to allow the generic use of the BlueMax system for that purpose on external surfaces of those facilities, under the caveat that only the preparation and application of the BlueMax itself is covered; any other associated physical modifications require separate design and environmental evaluation checklist review.
