Dear Mr. Chairman:
This is in response to your litter of September 13, 1979, requesting issistance fc ar infsrnal st.dy of the University of Arizona's low-level naste burial site r. ear the te.n of Oracle, Arizona, being conducted by nenbers of the Arizont 5 tate LegislatJre's House of Representatives, headed
- y Representa:ive Farjory Ollsor..
The infomation re:uested is is follcws :
' A descristica of tne rec latory respansibilities for this site of the State anc tne.receral cosernment, anc of the regulatory relationship
- stwee-incse 'ofes."
The 5:a e cf Irizor a :ecame an Acreement State May 15, 1967.
Under the a;reenent. :he fc mer Atoni: Energy Commission, now the Nuclear Re:u'itory Cc missior. -elinc;i she'J and Arizona assumed regulatory au ht-ity cve source material, by-product material and special nuclear racer"a' ir. c.ar.tities not sufficient to form a critical rass. The State presin:ly acninisters about 300 radioactive ra:erialc 'itanses pc suant to this Agreement.
Their administrati'ce fu ::' ens inc~uce iss.arce of reg.:lations and licenses, inspection cf trair licensees' a:t'vities, and the handling of enforcement acticos.
Tne Ur.iversity of Arizona was a licensee of the AEC until 19 ~7, a: ar.ic; time l' censing authority for that institution was trans#errec t the State of Arizona, whose regulatcry program is reviewed annually by :he NRC tc ensure both compatibility with TRC's recalat:ry progra.m and acequate protection of public health an: safety.

' A ccpy c' regula: ions and cuidelines enforced by the NRC for licensing cf s m'la-ypes :f waste disposal, and a comparison of these with the recala:icis enfor:ed by tre State f or the Oracle f acility."

The E:n:rable Morris K. Udall Encicsed is a copy of 10 CFR 20.304, Disposal by E; rial ir Soil (Er.clas;re A).
There are no special guidelines fcr licens ng similar types of waste sites because each such site is res:ricted to waste prodJCed t,y a single facility only; hence waste cisposal pursuan to 10 CFR 20.304 is not separately licensed.
Enclosed is a copy of the State of Arizona's regulations R-12-1-419, Liscosal by Burial in Soil (Enclosure B) which is identical to the fiRC regulation.
fiRC staff is presently preparing for public conment a proposal to delete 10 CFR 20.304, which allows a licensee to bury small quantities of radionuclides without Connission permission; this wauld mean that the licensee would have to obtain permission to perform su:h burials in the f uture.
If approved, the proposed rule change wculd become effective in June, 1980.
Assuming that the Arizona AEC changed its regulations in a similar f ashion, the University would be equired to seek permission from the Arizona AEC before discosing c' its low-level wastes.
For catailed information on current license conditions and burial rates concerr.ing the Oracle site, Representative Oilson ma contac W. Ken Geiser of the Arizona Atomic Energy Commission in Phoenix at 632/255 43:5.

.n#cematic regarding the extent to which the fiRC has made or-site i s:ecticas of the 3racle f acility, including the dates of ins:e tions c.e
- re sas: se.er al years, if any, and any inspectic. rep 3r :..hich ray exist."
A revien of retired AEC inspection reports shows t1at four inspections were :a e at the University of Arizona, License Nc. 2-756-:6, during tne period Feoraary,1953 to February,1967.
As a result :f an AEC ir.spe:ticn at tne University in 1967, an item of noncompliance was notec regarding excess burial at the site on one c:casion.
- opies
- tra AEC's 3r#crcerent correspondence and the Uriversity s respcnse are cor ainec in Enclosure C.
There have been no further AE: or NRC inspe:ticns since May, 1967, when Arizona assumed regulatt y authcrity.

' An; ccrrescender.ce which may exist concerning the site or related LT.iversity of Arizona activities between the University and the Crr:i s s i ca. "
In addition to the aforementioned enforcement-related corrisoondence, we hue included as Enclosure D copies of the corresponder:e between the L9i cersity and the AEC relating to the licensing of tre 3racle site.
