Dear Dr. Wogman:
I have reviewed your monthly report for the " Environmental Cleanup Standards" (B-2216-0) for February 1981 and have the 'o11owing comments:
1.
The major accomplishment during this reporting period was the production of the first draf t of the " Proceedings of the Workshop on Radiological Surveys in support of the Edgemont Cleanup Action Program" (dated March 13,1981). On the whole, this was a very well-written and organized report. The corrections and revisions as contained in my " marked-up" copy of the report which was returned to you, and the other comments as we discussed during our meeting on March 18, 1981, should be incorporated in a revised (or second draft) document. Several important comments concerning the revision of the subject report are reiterated here:
a)
In the Conclusions Section, it should be stated that there was general agreement among the Workshop participants that the radiological survey protocols being used in Edgemont are adequate and acceptable, and that the EPA representative stated that "in his opinion" the protocols met the intent of the EPA 40 CFR 192 standards.
b)
It should be emphasized throughout the report where applicable that the radiological surveys being used in Edgemont are designed to determine compliance with the EPA's standards (i.e., 40 CFR 192), and also to fulfill existing Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements as previously defined in a working level grab l
sampling protocol developed by the State of South Dakota with the i
advice of Region VIII of the EPA.
c) The Discussion Sections (i.e., the questions, answers and comments) should be revised to be consistent throughout the report by providing the individual's name and his affiliation. Also, the various questions, answers and particularly the comments, should be edited to provide l
more accurate and meaningful information.

d) The "Open Discussion" Chapter (pages 70 to 76) should be changed to be Section 9 under Chapter III and should be retitled as "9.
Discussion of Edgemont Protocols and Radiological Surveys".
In particular, each Workshop participant shall be asked to check for the accuracy or completeness of any question, answer or comment credited to him in tha report. Also, each participant should be asked to provide any additional information or comments which would add to the technical content of this Workshop Report.
Upon receipt and consideration of comments from the Norkshop participants, a " final draft" of the Workshop Report shall be submitted to the NRC by April 30,1981, for review and. approval prior to finalization and public release of the report. This Workshop Report shall be prepared in accordance-with the terms and conditions of the. Standard Order of DOE work, paragraph 12, so that the revised formal final report may be published as a NUREG report.
2.
The revised final protocol to field test the track etch device and the use of the RPISU (i.e., the " Procedure for Long-Term Redon Progeny Measurements"), which incorporates the comments in my letter to you of March 6,1981, should be provided by April 30, 1981 for our review and final approval.
These considerations were discussed with you and R. Perkins during our meeting on March 18, 1981, but if you have further questions on these matters,
, please contact me at (301) 427-4541.
Sincerely, C' g/
