Dear Ms. Fleming:
We received your post card on November 14, 1979, which requests information regarding the current licensing authority and requirements for the proposed Hansen Project near Canon City, Colorado.
Enclosed is a page, excerpted from the Environmental Report for the project, which outlines the various permits and licenses that nust be obtained by Cyprus Mines Corporation. As noted by your post card, itun 12.1.c on the list is no longer applicable.
Information regarding licensing requirements and limitations, such as when construction may proceed should be addressed to Mr. James L. Montgomery, Radiation and Hazardous Wastes Control Division, Colorado Department of Health, 4210 East lith Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80220. As a courtesy, a copy of your post card and this reply are being forwarded to Mr. Montgomery.
As a result of the amendment to the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978, passed by Congress recently, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will provide technical assistance to the State. This assistance will include the performance of a tailings management evaluation, including alternatives, and a radiological assessment. Our conclusions and recommendations will be transmitted to the State and then be used in their licensing decisions and actions.
Please contact Ms. Madonna Krug of my staff (301-427-4103) if you require any further information regarding the Hansen Project and NRC's role in its review.
Sincerely,
/
/A "
p Ross A. Scarano, Chief Uranium Recovery Licensing Branch Division of Waste Management
