- HON notified NRC of its intent to transfer the pond materials to USEI for disposal in letter, dated July 12, 2018.
-Approximately 89,000 cubic yards of CaF2from Ponds B, C, D, and E containing an average of 0.04 wt% of uranium (374.5 ppm)
-The calcium fluoride materials contains source material under 0.05 percent by weight as specified in 10 CFR40.13(a).-Dose to the public and workers is very low (a few mremor less)*HON provided NRC with documentation to support its determination
-HON relies on same pond characterization as that previously was reviewed by the NRC; no new information on pond materials
-Demonstrates that the materials satisfy waste acceptance criteria for USEI-Includes dose assessment using USEI's NRC-Approved Site Specific Dose Assessment Methodology (transportation and disposal)Pond Materials Meet Unimportant Quantities Criteria 2

- No NRC approval is required
-NRC may perform a technical review as for prior UIQsubmittals
-But, as with prior UIQsubmittals, there is no NRC approval and therefore no environmental review
- Pond A Letter to NRC (dated June 5, 2000):
-"The calcium fluoride stored within this surface impoundment contains source material at an average concentration of 430 PPM (291.1 pCi/gm)."-"We would like to ship this material (approximately 167,000 ft 3) for burial at Waste Control Specialist under 10 CFRPart 40.13, "Unimportant Quantities of Source Material"."
- NRC Response (dated September 12, 2000):
-"Since the calcium fluoride waste contains source material under 0.05 percent by weight as specified in 10 CFR40.13(a), and the disposal of the material would not result in a dose to the public exceeding 25 mrem/yr , no additional NRC action is required for the transfer of this material for disposal at WCS
."Following Same Disposal Approach as Pond A 3

RCRAPermitting and NRC Decommissioning
- Ponds B, C, D, and E currently managed in accordance with:
-RCRAPermit issued by the Illinois EPA, and
-Waiver of the minimum technology requirements (MTR Waiver) for hazardous waste impoundments issued by the USEPA*Pond areas subject to IEPA/EPA remediation requirements, including financial assurance
-The RCRAPermit and MTR Waiver currently require that HON close Ponds B, C, D, and E by 2020.
-To comply with the closure deadline, HON must remove the material in a timely mannerHON Must Meet Its RCRAPermit Requirements 4

After RCRAClosure?*After the ponds are closed per the RCRApermit, the pond areas will remain within the site boundary and be subject to ongoing NRC oversight*HON is not proposing to decommission and terminate the license for the pond areas at this time
- Pond areas will be included in the next NRC decommissioning cost estimate*HON intends to terminate the NRC license for the pond areas at the same time as it completes decommissioning and license termination for the MTW sitePond Areas To Be Added to Site DCE 5
