Chapter 3110 Facility Design and Modification Review
Purpose
Jefferson Lab integrates environmental, safety, and health (ES&H) concerns into the design of new and modification to existing facilities. This chapter describes the approach used for reviewing ES&H issues associated with these designs.

Considerations include:
  • Life, safety, and fire protection.
  • Environmentally responsible construction techniques.
  • Restoration and protection measures to enhance long-term stewardship of natural and cultural resources throughout facility's operation, closure, and post-closure life cycles.
Scope
ES&H reviews designs for new and modification to existing facilities including:
  • New structures;
  • Architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing or electrical system modifications to existing facilities; and
  • Changes in building use.
ES&H Manual Chapter 3110 Appendix T1 Facility Design and Modification Review Procedure describes the minimum requirements used to ensure adequate ES&H considerations are incorporated into new or modification facility designs.

Expectations
To abide by all ES&H related permits and facility operating parameters Jefferson Lab:
  • Incorporates ES&H hazard mitigation features into designs.
  • Applies appropriate ES&H reviews in the planning of new and modification of existing facilities.
  • Involves appropriate subject-matter experts to determine appropriate ES&H features.
