Dear Dr. Wogman:

I have reviewed your ronthly report for the " Environmental Cleanup Standards" (B-2216-0) for February 1981 and have the following comments:

1.

The major acccmplishr'ent during this reporting period was the production of the first draf t of the " Proceedings of the Wnrkshop on Radiological Surveys in support of the Edgemont Cleanuo Action Progran" (dated Parch 13,1981). Cn the whole, this was a very well-written and organi::ed report. The corrections and revisions as contained in ny ". arked-up" copy of the report which was returned to you, and the other cor:ments as we discussed during our reeting on March la,1981, should be incorporated in a revised (or second draf t) docu ent. Several 1 portant cer onts 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, I

and that the EPA rapresentative stated that "in his opinion" the l

protocols met the intent of the EPA 40 CFR 192 standards, b) It should be emphasized thrcughout the report where applicable that the radiological surveys being used in Edgemont are designed to detemine compliance with the EPA's standards (f.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 sampling protocol developed by the State of South Dakota with the 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 t,y providing I

the individual's name and his affiliation. Also, the various questions, answers and particularly the coements, should be edited to provide I

sore accurate and meaningful information.

ggj 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 the 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 Workshop 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 Deport shall be prepared in accordance with the tems and conditions of the Standard Order of DCE 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 Radon Progeny Measurements"), which incorporates the comments in cy 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, 9
