from Big Rock Point to the Barnwell, South Carolina low-level radioactive waste disposal facility (Petrosky 2004), and a rail siding in Petoskey, Michigan was used for shipping the steam drum to the EnergySolutions low-level radioactive waste disposal facility in Clive, Utah (Tompkins 2006). Herron (2010) states that the heavy haul roadway no longer exists on the site and that the current access road from the ISFSI to the highway was not built to support heavy haul transfers, and may need to be rebuilt or enhanced. TOPO (1994a) states that an on-site barge facility was used during the construction of Big Rock Point, but its use was discontinued in the early 1960s after Big Rock Point was completed. TOPO (1994a) also identifies a potential barge area at the Big Rock Point site (see Figure 2-65). However, NAC (1990) states that Big Rock Point has never had an on-site barge facility.
